BILIOUS, HEADACHY,

Gently cleanse ynur liver and
sluggish bowels while

Get a 1o-cent box.


Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.

breath--always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour. gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
OF the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue 1t causes con.
gestion and that dull, throbbing. sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour. undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep--a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv

ABOUT CALLING THE LEG

Wiseacres Claim That Impeachment
Proceedings All That VIII Be
Considered in caII--News
at Capitol.

Nashville.
Governor Rye does not intend to be
rushed about calling an extra session
OF the legislature. although It is as
rured now that Judge Edgington will
not resign. What time the governor
loses in issuing the call can be made
up, he realizes, in the dispatch with
which he summons the soloss to as.
sembly. No notice beyond that of
giving the legislators enough time to
reach the capitol is required of the
chief executive, and II he wants to he
can bring them here in two days after
the call. So the governor will not ex-
hibit any particular haste and will con-
slider every particular phase of the
question before he acts.
Anyhow, the governor is proceeding
calmly In the matter, realizing that
there is no necessity for particular
haste. He says the extra session is
coming.
1t Is believed by those who are close
re the The governor now that when az eSS-
ira session is called there will be no
matters included except the impeach-
ment case against Judge Edgington.
Governor Rye has been called upon
from many different sections and by
many persons to include in his call va
ried matters of legislation, and while
some of these measures are meritori-
GUS in general, 1t is believed they can
as well wait until the next general as
sembly. Those who should be in
position to know are therefore predict
ing that the governor will not cloud
the main issue and will call the legis-
lators to meet only to consider the
Edgington case.
No word was received at the capitol
from Judge Edgington other than his
announced intention of not resigning
