CASCARETS CLEANSE
LIVER AND BOWELS
THE MILLIONS OF CASCARET
USERS NEVER HAVE HEAD
ACHE, CONSTIPATION, BILIOUS
NESS OR SICK STOMACH.

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
ageway 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 10cent 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.

FROM THE ROAR OF WINDS AND
THE RUSH OF WATERS.

From the roar of winds and the
rush of waters the true spirit of Am
ericanism will come forth saddened.
but still indomitable. The same spirit
which found an abiding place in the
breasts of the sons of the old world
when they left the fleshpots and the
luxuries of the lives they were born
to and crossed the boundless waters
to the new continent, the same spirit
which rested in the breasts of the
Pilgrim fathers and buoyed them up
and encouraged them and strength
ened them while they subdued and
conquered the wilderness, the same
spirit which enabled the followers of
Washington to fight for love of coun-
try, for home and freedom, while
freezing and starving in the times Of
the revolution; the same spirit which
caused the blood to run riot through
the veins of the hardy sons of the
states while standing behind the cot
ton bales at New Orleans; the same
spirit which reclaimed the deserts of
the west and built beautiful cities
upon the plains and in the mountains
of this country. the same spirit which
stood behind the people of Galveston
after the tiday wave horror of years
ago--The Great American Spirit-the
spirit which knows neither defeat nor
failure will be again called upon to
build the country anew in the spots
which have been laid waste
and ruined by the hand of death and
destruction.
AS San Francisco sprung, a second
Phoenix from the ashes following her
last earthquake horror, as Galveston
again grew into a successful and a
Towering life following the great It'd
al wave of death and despair, so will
Omaha, the giant of the eastern
west rise from the devastation of the
Easter storm and so will Dayton and
other cities of the western east spring
again into life following the rush and
swirl of the watery death which de-
seconded with the appalling rapidity of
the lightnings stroke upon their
homes and people.
Little time will be lost in repning.

in mourning. But like the true sons
