strongly Democratic in normal times,

by the alleged Democratic papers Of

An Old Mans stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of Be or 90, you
will find that he is a light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its func-
lions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

There has been some hesitancy on
the part of Mr.. Hughes in sending
congratulations to President Wilson
on his reelection, acting under in
structions from Chairman Wilcox to
wait until the final returns come in
from the supposedly doubtful states.
We don't approve of such dilatory
tactics at all. On the morning after
election we were unofficially in
formed we had been elected justice
of the peace, and forthwith hunted
up Mr.. Wolley and congratulated him
on his defeat, and then found Judge
Wood and extended him our SYM
