son has always taken an active inter
est In politics as a Democrat, and has
given generously Of his means and his
counsel to promote the success Of his
party in successive campaigns In
the last campaign particularly, antic-
ipating no more the Democratic land
slide than did other partymen of equal
or less prominence and influence, 1t so
happened that he was one of the ex-
ceedingly few leaders who cheerfully
took hold of the party organization,
and, more than any other Individual,
financed the partys campaign In a
Legitimate way. In doing 80 he had
no hope, certainly no expectation, that
there would be such a political up

have YOU HAD YOUR
BOWEL REMOVED

One of the leading French scientists
who has been making a study of the
cause OF old age, has discovered that IL
is due to germs found in the large in
teStlne, and recommends as a preventive
OF old age, and to insure good health.
that the intestine be removed.
II has long been known to scientists
that the bowels were the breeding place
OF germs and that persons suffering
from, or having tendency to Con-
stlpation were more liable to develop
serious illness than those who were
free from this trouble.
In Constipation the germs instead OF
passing Off, are retained in the Bowel,
thus giving them an opportunity of
multiplying to such an extent that they
cause serious illness and chronic dis
ease.
Very few people will agree with the
scientists as to the necessity for the
removal OF the Bowel, but all will
agree that Constipation is the most
prolihc cause OF illness, both acute and
chronic. today.
To all who suffer from Constipation,
and diseases resulting from Inactive
Liver, Stomach and Bowels or Kidneys,
we advise the use OF some mild, safe,
thorough laxative; one that will act
properly and promptly, tone up the sys-
TEN, promote digestion, that is pleasant

The steamer Reliance lies
moored to the bank at the local
wharf. There is disappointment
in the face of the members of
the crew because the proud little
steamer is not on her way up
the Little Kanawha. Captain
Brick Silcott was wanted by
Uncle Sam" as federal grand
juror and this accounts for the
suspended navigation.
When Captain Silcott came
down yesterday he supposed that
it would be an easy matter TO
get excused from service on the
federal jury and made no ar
engagements for any one to take
his place on the boat. However,
upon investigation he found that
excuse availed nothing and Civ
ing up the struggle tied his boat
to the bank and resigned him
self to fate.
But this was not the worst of
it. The stopping of a common
carrier engaged in government
work will be one of the results.
because Captain Silcott was TAX
ing the gasolene for the United
States mail boat which runs be-
tween CreSton and Palestine,
does not cause any grief for the
Captain.
What bothers him is the fact
that some one stole his travelling
bag containing his clothes and
that today he has to go to the
court room in a pair Of overalls.
However, il is rumored among
river circles that the captain will
buy a new outfit when federal
court adjourns and that the
steamer Reliance will resume
her thrice-a-week trips to Crrs-
