NOT FIT FOR LADIES

Public sentiment should be against it, and we believe it is, there can be no reason why ladies should have to suf- fer with headache and neuralgia, especi- ally wheu Hunts Lightning Oil gives such prompt relief. It is simply a question of getting the ladies to try it. All druggist sell Hunts Lightning Oil in 25c and Soc bottles.

Impurities in the blood produced by digestive disorders must be driven out before hot weather sets in, otherwise sickness will appear at time when a strong vigorous body is most needed. Prickly Ash Bitters will expel all inn purities and put the system in perfect order.

What's in name?" The word "bitters" does not alway indicate some- thing harsh and disagreeable. Prickly Ash Bitters is proof of this. It cleanses, strengthens and regulates the system thoroughly, yet it is so pleasant the most delicate stomach will not object to it.

Lloyd Wilkinson left here today to
continue his campaign of the Eastern
Shore in the interest of his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for Clerk
of the Court of Appeals.
He made the initial address in his
candidacy at the opera house here last
night before large audience, including
many ladies'.
The keynote of his talk was the antag-
onism of the Anti-Saloon League to
him.
He stated that for six years Superin-
tendent Anderson had arrogated to him
self the right to dictate to every candi-
date in the State upon what terms and
under what promises he might become
a member Of the Legislature. That
during those six wears he had collected
and spent more than $3.50. 900, besides
his salary of $500 and had in the inter-
est of temperance accomplished nothing
except perhaps, the downfall of the
temperance chances of legislation.
