He gave further proof of the general
indication that those republicans who
enter democratic primaries for the pur-

cause they recognize Underwood as the
leader of the dominant party of today,
or because they recognize in Hobson a
man who at heart is one of them.
The "HObsOnian" Charge
But 1t is possible that the most tell

were those which showed up the ma
ture OF the charges which, with sucn

Ihesitatingly preferred against him. One
of these charges was that Underwood
had put a tax on bagging and ties
Another was that every railroad at

HOW A MANS LIVER
DEFENDS HIS LIFE

The liver is usually quiet, unassum.
ing organ and we do not think much
about it. Ii has, however, protective
| functions that should command respect.
In the process of intestinal indigestion
there are set free what physicians and
scientists call toxic bodies" in other
words poisons. ii these poisons enter in
10 the circulation of the blood biliousness
or sick headache results.
Regularly the liver is able to destroy
these toxic bodies but lift Lays in its work
they quickly form in amounts excessive
enough TO be troublesome Headache,
constipation, dizziness, furred tongue,
wind on the stomach, bad complexion
are the means by which nature gives
warning that the liver needs help.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use OF Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not grippe or purge but simply
assist nature. Harsh laxatives and salts
often do harm by sggravating the condi-
tons they are taken TO correct. Pinklets,
taken regularly for time, really do cor
rect constipation.
Your own druggist can supply You with
Pinklcis or they will be sent by mail,
postpaid, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co, Schenectady, n. Y, at Is cents per
bottle. Send for helpful pamphlet.
