Colonel Roosevelt, in statement is
sued after the meeting.
Moreover, I am very glad of the
straight forward manner in which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which>>Mr. Wilson has covered this
nation by the manner in which he al
lowed foregn powers to gain the i'm
preston that, although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy, they
were not to be taken seriously.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, it is not
words, but the strength and resolu-
tion behind the words, which count.
AS Mr.. Hughes pointed out, there is
no doubt that if Mr.. Wilson's con-
duct and action had been such as to
make the foreign nations believe that
he meant precisely what he said in
his strict accountability there
would have been no destruction of
American lives by the sinking of the

Topeka, Aug. 1.-The result of the

One of the contributing causes to
this condition may have been the fact
that the only contest on the Demo-

First and Third districts. In Sumner

DOES IT PAY
TO BE SICK?

Let's forget about all the disagreeable
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves if it PAYS to be sick.
Perhaps you are only HALF sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
with "dead tired" feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with heavily
coated tongue, bad taste in your mouth,
and hardly any appetite. Quite likely
you are bilious. Maybe you have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself you will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes you feel just
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or
If you get some relief, it doesn't LASTI
You soon feel justas bad as you did before.
aDOES 1T PAY to let yourself stay in
this half-sick condition. Think of all the
ENJOYMENT of life you are missing:
You can't enjoy your food, or the society
of your family and friends. You can't
enjoy anything as you should, because
your senses are dulled and your brain
oppressed by the effects of SLUGGISH
LIVER. .
Say, friend, does it PAY you to lug
around that sluggish liver when you can
promptly make It ACTIVE and so get rid
