CASCARETS CURE A
BILIOUS HEADACHE
Gently But Thoroughly Cleanse
Your Liver, Stomach and
Bowels and You Feel
Great by Morning

You're bilious, you have a throo-
bing sensation in your head. a bad
taste in your mouth. your eyes burn,
your skin is yellow, with dark rings
under your eyes; your lips are
parched. No wonder you feel ugly,
mean and i'll tempered. Your system
is full Of bile not properly passed off,
and what you need is a cleaning up
inside. Don't continue being a bilious
nuisance TO yourself and those who
love you, and don't resort to harsh
physics that irritate and injure. Re-
member that every disorder of the
stomach, liver and intestines can be
quickly cured by morning with gem
tie, thorough Cascarets-they work
while you sleep. 10-cent box from
your druggist will keep you and the
entire family feeling good for months
Children love to take Cascarets, be-
cause they taste good and never grippe
or sicken.

Editorial Opinion
THE HARD.BoILED HAT.

New York Evening Sun.
We own to feelings Of doubt bor-
dering on dismay IN endeavoring TO
tackle the issue raised by this letter
from an earnest correspondent:
To the Editor Of The Evening Sun
Sir: Why do darn fools wear derby
hats? A. II.
We have no wish to evade this
grave problem by making the quick
retort implicit in the language OF the
letter-that they wear what they do
because they are what A. H. says
they are. Nor shall We permit our
selves TO be swayed to excitement by
the unparliamentary language en-
ployed. The occasion calls for sin
cere, careful thought, and technicali-
ties and passion aside, we approach
the broad simple issue, Why do men
wear derby hats?
There is one class Of men for whom
It is easy 10 make an excellent de-
fence. We refer to those round, hard
men, facially speaking, upon whom
the billycock or bowler sits with tri-
umphant appropriateness. For the
hard-boiled face, a hard-bOlled hat,
In short The essentially cockney
character of this species Of lid is new

hair above a cockney type Of coun-
tenance. Then, the cock-sure, arro-
CANT impudence of these bullets is as
clear as II is BETTING.
For the rest OF mankind, the de-
fence is much more difficult. Explain
ations are much easier 10 present and
We give several of the simpler ones.
Laziness, for example. The fatal day
arrives when the comfortable straw
must go and something must take its
place. II a soft hat Is TO be chosen,

hats there are a thousand shapes, a
thousand textures, a thousand col
ors. The labor of selecting the ap-
propriate one, having regard to the

Then there Is the man who doesnf
see the difference The fat man who
likes to wear a white fianel suit and

insist on stripes. for examples In
the eyes of such the black egg Of the
derby doubtless stands a thing of
grace and beauty, and they will choose

We give this defence and these ten

worth. They account, in part, for the
phenomenon concerning which our
correspondent inquiries; but mature
reflections leads one back to the form
