Despite the efforts of Senator
Fletcher to prevent, Peter A. Dig
nan was on Monday confirmed by the
U. S. Senate as postmaster at Jack
sonville. Mr.. Dignan's candidacy
was urged by Senator Bryan, and
some two weeks ago his appointment
was sent to the senate by President
Wilson. The senate committee in
spite of Senator Fletcher's protest,
recommended Dignan's confirmation
unanimously. When this report was
read, Senator Fletcher made lengthy
statement before the full senate. The
dispatches say, however, that mas
much as Senator Fletcher would not
say that Dignan was pc "sonally ob-
noxious to him, the senate decided
there was no good reason for holding
up the nomination. A week or more
ago Senator fletcher stated that the
collector of Internal Revenue wa,
his political enemy and he didn't pro-
pose to have another such occupying
the postoffice in Jacksonville" 1t
is also said that one of his reasons
for opposing Dignan is that he is a
Catholic. And there are persons
mean enough to insist that Fletcher's
opposition was only APPARENTLY
SO-in order to appease the A. 2. A.

Attracting Attention
BY HOLLAND.

4 DvERTISlNG is not nee
n essalily successful be-
cause it attracts attention.
A man who has been In u
fight. Is all beaten up and
needs general overhauling
will attract attention. but he
is not a pleasant object to
look at. and no one would
stop him to buy ii pair of
shoestrings that he might
have for sale.
A man can stand on the
street and yell at the top of
his voice. He will attract at
trntion and will be voted Il
nuisance. Some men attract
attention by stealing horses
and others by forging checks.
But the advertising they get
does not help them III DuSl-
ness way.
1t is possible to word an
advertisement so that it is
worse than useless, so that it
vfTeuds Il large number Of
people and drives them away
instead of making customers
of them. Such advertising is
growing rare. 1t is of the
smart AIcrk" type.
Use no language in your adj
vertiSpmentS that you would
not use to a gentleman or
lady who entered your store
in search of goods. Show
only the same anxiety to
make sale that you would
show in your store and be
lust as careful not to say
anything that would offend
the most crotchety individual.

Dr.. Reed, a Cincinnati surgeon, in
a clinic before the American Medical
Association, takes this position, or
rather recommends this attitude:
To offfset the displacements
which come as a penalty for our
upright position, those suffering
from stomach displacement, brain
fag and other ailments thus caus-
ed, should stand on their heads, or
as nearly so as possible.
For those who think with their
feet, this should be restful and help
full. We have had wheels and cranks
and now we have inclined planes, tc
say nothing of displacements, and it
is not easy to determine now where
we are at"

The announcement Of Senator F. NJ.
Hudson of Miami, that he will be a
candidate for governor in 1916 is
not creating much of a stir among
the people. Senator Hudson is not a
man who appeals strongly to the
people. He's sort o frigid. If Hon.
W. V. Knott should run at the same
time the Miami man would be distanc-
ed before the quarter stake was
reached.

Harmless to flush Kidneys and Neutralizc Irritating

Kidney and Bladder weakness re- suit from uric acid. says a noted au- thority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infiame, causing burn ing, scalding sensation. or setting up der.. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in. constant dread, the wa ter passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it,, because they can't control trina ton. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharma cist and take 8 tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no longer Is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.

They Neglect Their Bowels and the
 Poisons Viuate the Blood.
 Hot weather has a very weakening effect on women. They are too lan- guid to exercise, and as 8 result have appetite only for foods that seem light and tasty, such as salads and other cold connections. But these fre- quently produce indigestion, and with it comes constipation.
 It is especially in hot weather that women should keep up the highest standard of health for it is necessary to have strength to resist the heat. The first essentials are good diges-, tion and regular bowel movement, and then good red blood and steady nerves will follow. The best way to, obtain these is not by an over-indulgence in fruits, which often are not ripe, or over-ripe, and hence are dangerous but in the use of a gentle and pleas ant-tasting bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Use it to- night and your constipation, indiges- ton and sick headaches will vanish by morning. x

It can be obtained of drug gists at fifty cents and one dollar bottle, the latter size for family use. It's tonic rroperties make it an ideal laxative for women and children. You will never again use strong cathartics. purgatives and salts after trying pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
