reciprocity legislation, to which the
Democrats were favorable, the House
was Democratic mainly because Of the
dissatisfaction of the people with the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, the election
that made the House Democratic being
the first opportunity the people had to
express that dissatisfaction tangibly.
The Democrats had a majority of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session Of the House for sixteen years.
They were politically hungry and polit-
ically thirsty. They needed sustenance.
They thought they had chance to elect
= president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisites and prerogatives
of the Government; and each man Of
the two hundred and twenty-eight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance certainty. They were all
anxious to revise the tariff in order to
keep faith with the people, but they had
many plans for revision and many
shades of opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power and
importance. They were eager, avid, en-
thusiastic and none too prudent.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness rs the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. We will give
one hundred dollars for any case of
deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

4 SURE REMEDY
FOR LAZY LIVER
Go to the Court Pharmacy for this
Safe, Reliable Remedy and Get
Your Money Back If ii Fails

There are very few remedies that
gain the confidence of druggists as
Dodson's Liver Tone does. The Court
Pharmacy sells it and backs up the
sale of every bottle with the money
back guarantee that the price will be
refunded if it fails to give complete
satisfaction.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs so cents
bottle. 1t is the safest and best
remedy for torpid liver, constipation,
biliousness, etc, that has ever been
sold in this city. 1t takes the place of
dangerous calomel and does not lay
you up as dose of calomel often does.
a bottle in the house is as good as
fifty cents in the bank. If you or
your family need a liver tonic you
have the medicine ready. 1t ii fails
you get your money back.
Be sure you get Dodsons Liver
Tone when you ask for 1t. There are
limitations of 1t that may disappoint
