Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy
Them

Do not neglect Indigestion
which leads to all sorts of ills
and complications. An eminent
doctor once said that ninety-fve
per cent of all the ills of
the human body have their
origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a
speciality of stomach troubles,
particularly dyspepsia, after years
of study perfected the formula
from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets leads MS to be-
lieve them to be the greatest
remedy known for the relief of
acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are
soothing and healing to the in
famed membranes of the stom-
ach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief
they oford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and
regularity for a short time brings
about a cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will
insure healty appetite, aid diges-
ton and promote nutrition. AS
evidence of our sincere faith in
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask
you to try them at our risk. If
they do not give you entire salts

money you paid us for them,

factions in this parish, the terms
of which, say these chroniclers
are that the dogs of war are to b
leashed and the dove of peace tt
perch sereneIy on the banner o.
the erstwhiIe contentious fac
lions.
The Clarion is not prepared tt
either deny or affirm this report
But whether true or not, the re
port deserves more than selfish
consideration. It must be looked
upon with a more patriotic view.
point than a mere political deal
It must be looked upon with ar
eye to the veal of both the Demo
cratic party and the common
good, without regard to the pc.
litical aspirations of any particu.
lar individual.
The Clarion unhesitatingly
says that if an agreement has
been reached between the two
old Democratic factions in this
parish, by which the sores of the
past are to be healed and a guar
antee for future harmony in the
Democratic ranks in st. Landry
assured; if the men who have
been rocking the old parish in
political tempests for these many
years have at last awakened to
their folly: if these men have
come to the realization that
SANDER of each other on the
stump and in print is ~violative
of honor and individual and a
breeder of discord in the conduct
of governmental affairs-the
Clarion says that if such an
agreement has been reached, il
is q contamination devoutly to
be wished for"
For years past st. Landry par
ish has been seething with po-
litical strife and acrim y.
There have been two distinct
political factions, both of about
equal strength, as the results of
the elections have shown, each
side electing about an equal
number of officers. The now
S~words-Andrepont faction, as it
is called, would elect the Sheriff
and the Clerk; the Garland fac
ton would elect the Judge and
District Attorney. This is in
recent years; but the same was
the case before these men came
into power. We had the Fonte-
not and the Thompson factions
and many other factions before
them. Feeling ran high at
every election. Brother was
arrayed against brother, father
against son; friend against friend.
Money was spent lavishly, and
in some instances the electorate
corrupted in the struggle for
supremacy.
This condition, exaggerated,
not only smelled bad in the nos
trils of the Democracy of the
State, but it had its effect in the
conduct of official duties at home.
The official family at the Court
house was divided. and there
could be no concert of action as
between them. Naturally, each
faction looked for political advan-
tage. 1t was a natural condi-
ton under the circumstances
it was but the outcropping of
human nature.
It is obvious that such a con-
dition was not conducive to the
public good.
The Clarion does not wish to
be understood as meaning that
the officers of the parish have
been derelict in the discharge of
their duties. even under such adj

We Repeat.

We Repeat.
We repeat: In our opinion it
is to be hoped that The Com
moner and Judge Dupre speak
advisedly when they say that
the Ratchet has been buried by
the two contending factions of
the Democratic party in ST. Lam
dry; and that henceforth the par
ish will be spared the unrest and
turmoil of past elections.
The Clarion can not see but
good for all in such an agree
ment.
May it be true.

has to spend half of his Office to
be elected, and has to begin pull
ing up his fences for the next
election the day after he is
elected.
"The People"
Viii the people stand for
this?" asks the Commoner.
This sort of appeal to the
people is a favorite weapon OF
the revolutionist.
The people are prone to resent
any movement which might in
the least shackle their freedom
and privilege of expression, and
right they are; and whoever Sc
far forgets himself as to forget
that the people are to be reckon
ed with is certain to come to a
swift finish.
But we don't understand the
amalgamation of the two factions
Of the Democratic party (if such
there isl to be a blow at the
right of the people to choose
their own officers.
That would be against the
spirit of the times-against the
teachings of the Democratic
party and the intent of the
primary law.
All that the allied factions of
the party can do is to put before
the people a ticket, and say:
Here, voters, we present
for your endorsement a good,
clean ticket. If it suits you,
vote for it; if not. say so with
your ballots
In this day of primary, that
is all that any man, or set of
men can do.
The voice of the people is the
voice of God"
No combination can pre-
vent a qualified citizen from rum
ming for Office; and no ''combina-
ton can make the people vote
for a man whom they don't want,
no matter who is at his back.
The politician or set of poll
ticians who expect the people to
stand" for anything, regardless
merit, will soon come to grief;
and none who knows even the
rudiments Of politics will ven
ture it.
But on the other hand the
&laH
ofice-seeker who relies on the
old hackneyed distress cry of
will the people stand for
this?" is equally as ignorant of
the temper of the people as is
the one who tries the game of
overriding the will of the people.
The people have heard it so
often that they have learned to
stop and take notice. of the
direction frorn which it ena-
mates, and who is making the
noise; and when they have To-
Gated both, why, they think
some more.

A Comparison.

a COMPARISON
Which smacks the most of an
attempt to stide a free express
sion of the will of the people:
An agreement between two
wings of the Democratic party,
for harmony's sake, to support
certain named candidates, or the
course now being pursued by
the Good Government League
of circulating lists and organizing
clubs pledging men to vote for
an unknown ticket to be named
at some future date?
And that nine months before
the primary.
That's putting the collar on
