PROFESSIONAL GUESSING OUT"

Governor Wilson lacks that command or
vituperatiye English wellbeloved by one of
his late competitors and could not answer in
kind, even if so disposed. TO the bilingsgate of
Colonel Roosevelt, but that he knows how to
say things with sting to them has never been
doubted Friends OF Mr.. Roosevelt will not taEe
kindly to the following:
My thought about both Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Roosevelt is that of entire respect, but these
gentlemen have been so intimately associated
with the powers that have been determining the
policy Of this government for almost genera
ton that they cannot look at the affairs of the
country with the view OF age and of a
changed set of circumstances
That hits vital spot. Posing friend OF
the common people, foe of 'bg business and
enemy Of Wall Street it is difficult to hear IN

"CASCARETS" BEST
FOR THE BOWELS
NO headache. bad taste, sour stomach
or coated tongue by morning.

1t is more necessary that you keep
your Bowels, Liver and Stomach
clean, pure and fresh than it is to
keep the sewers and drainage of a
large city free from obstruction.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets-or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system the constipated waste mat
ter and poison in the intestines and
bowels.
No odds how badly and upset you
feel. a Cascaret tonight will straight
en- you out by morning. They work
while you sleep. A 10-cent box from
your druggist will keep your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Don't
forget the children-their little in
sides need a good, gentle cleansing,
too.
