If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tempo
rary relief and their reaction lis
harmful and sometimes more an
moving than constipation. They
in no way affect cure and their
tendency is to weaken the already
weak organs with which they come
in constact.

the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar

tional convention to be issued by
the national commission when it
meets In Washington, December u,
will provide for 1861 delegates to be
increased to 1912 if Arizona AMI
New Mexico become states before the
convention is neld. The increase
from $50 delegates which comprised
the Chicago convention Of 1908, is
the result OF the reapportionment by
Congress, which increases the size
of the House OF Representatives from
391 to 433 mem bers, or 435 with the
two new states.

Speaker Champ Clark is elated
over the result of the more impor-

as indicated in the early returns, and
he holds that the news bespeaks
endorsement OF the work of the
last congress and forecasts the cleo

Talking tonight to representa-

long distance telephone from his res

This is good news 1t surely is
an endorsement of the work of the
democratic congress and shows we'll

The Presidents declaration at
Chicago that he would rather cut off
his hand than disturb business for
the sake of a political advantage
had the ring of sincerity in it. Mr..
Taft is convinced that ne is doing
his sworn duty in enforcing the Law

the American people don't like the
letter Oh the law, they know how to

No doubt the president was tired
out when he reminded the Hamilton

the present series, which began in
1897; a leader is apt to, be very

by suggesting defeat rather than vic

Taft cannot indulge himself many
more times in such dismal forebod-

The pope's decision to create more
American cardinals has great sig
nifcance," says a dispatch from
Rome, and "by some it is asserted
that the way is being paved for the
future advent of an American pope. :"

college will remain preponierant no
doubt for many years to come, but
one can conceive of situation arts

An interesting Development in the
domain OF manners in this country
is the appearance of the sentiment
that no gentleman will oppose his
Wife's suit for divorce It's latest
manifestation comes from the Indi
ana novelist, MS. Harrington, whose
wife's complaint in the divorce court
accuses him of great" and "habit-
uai cruelty. Mr. Harrington is the
very pink of politeness In this cpl
sode Mrs. Takington," he lis
quoted as saving, has made up her
mind to get this divorce, and it
would not be the part Of chivalry to
throw any difficulties in her way"
In the most advanced divorce, cir
cles, no doubt, Mr. Harrington, is
recognized as doing the correct
thing. 1t is very bad manners to in
terpose obstacles mo matter what
milady may accuse you OF doing.
OF course, it is becoming pretty well
understood nowadays what tcruelty''
often means in the divorce courts.
