WHAT'S THE REASON ?
Many Walhalln People in Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores Of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause Of their suf-
fcring. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headaches; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work Of %nltering the
blood and that may be the root OF
the trouble. Look to your kidneys,

But there Is going to be an cleo

has nominated its ticket. Now, the
editors, and preachers. and church
officers, and Democrats, and ex-con-
victs, are all going to bunch up with
Ira b. Jones and b.. r. Tillman, and
they all will vote for Cole l.. Blease
at the election in November. If an
angel ran against Blease he would
not stand the ghost Of a show among
the preachers and editors of South

Yes, Blease will get every vote in
South Carolina in the real election.
He Is popular in that State; he is
their sort. Nobody would dare run
against him, and everybody wants
him now. That condition hurts you
worse than Blease.
Yes, South Carolina is worse than
Blease. That Is the way people
think In other States. If tho people
from Canada to Mexico have sized
