TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LIVER
And 1t viii Take Care Of
Your Constipation.

The liver is supposed to furnish the
proper amount of bile for the >intestines.
Ihis bile has two purposes-to help digest
in the intestineS that part of your food
which the stomach is not meant to digest
and to act as natures laxative and pre-
vent constipation.
1t is plain to be seen then that oils and
the ordinary laSatives which do not act
on the liver give only temporary relief.
II you want to get real and lasting re-
suits you've got to take the remedy that
acts on the liver and causes it to furnish
the bile which in turn acts on the bowels
The name of this simple but sure home
treatment is Natures Remedy-popularly
known as Mr. Tablets. =
An Mr. Tablet at night before re-
tirfng will tone up the stomach. put your
liver to work and in the morning act
thoroughly. but without gripping, on the
bowels. Natures Remedy also relieves
rheumatism, acts benefcially on the kid
neys and purifies the blood.
No household should be without its box
of Mr. Tablets-taken in time they will
break up colds and prevent much sickness
arising from disordered stomach or
bowels
Get 25c box of Mr. Tablets and take
one tonight-you'll fell better in the
morning.

pension BILLS
OUTLOOK Bright
Measure Benefiting Policemen
and Firemen Likely, to Be
Reported Out and Pushed.
MAY PASS THIS SESSION
House District Committee Will Con-
slider Pension and Loan Shark Bills
at Meeting on Friday.
MAY PASS THIS SESSION

An indication that the bars which have
prevented favorable action In the House
District Committee on the police and
firemen's pension bill are at last to be
lowered is seen in the action of the COM
mittee yesterday in agreeing to special
meeting Friday night for the purpose Of
considering this measure and the Page
loan shark bill
While favorable action Is not assured
on either measure, the belief is general
that the pension bill at least will be re-
ported out and an effort made to pass II
at this session. The Washington Herald
for years has worked Rrduously in an
effort to obtain legislative action to
remedy the condition which deprives the
city's defenders against fire and lawless-
ness Of adequate pensions, even for dis
ability incurred in line of duty.
The present District committee Of the
House, which has shown a better and
fairer grasp on District matters than any
OF its recent predecessors, has indicated
willingness to consider the proposed
legislation carefully, and the decision to
take II up at a special meeting indicates
that favorable outcome is probable.
While strong opposition Is expected, at
least a full and free discussion Of the
merits Of the measure Is assured.
The Page bill also promises to meet
with sturdy opposition, although IL has
the support OF virtually all persons and
associations who have made a study of
pawnbroking from the viewpoint OF the
borrower. The Page bill proposes to
raise the maximum charge permitted by
law from one per cent to two per ceit
a month, as local pawnbrokers, following
the enactment OF the present law. went
out Of business in the District, moved
to the south side OF the Highway Bridge,
and are now conducting their business
over there at rates ranging upward from
three per cent a month.
The Senate District committee, how
ever, recently refused to report out a
similar bill, and the Page bill II passed
by the House probably would die in the
Senate committee.
The House District committee yester-
day sped toward enactment the bill re-
Gently passed by the Senate which pro-
vides for more rapid promotion of pri-
Yates on the police force and authorizes
increased salary for the officers.
