liver and bowel cleansing you ever
experienced? You will wake up feel
ing fit and fine. Cascarets never
grippe or sicken like salts, pills and
calomel. They act so gently that you
hardly realize you have taken a ca

sick, bilious or feverish children a
whole Cascaret any time-they act
thoroughly and are harmless.

WE ALL BITE

Sooner or later we all bite because we are all greedy and want something for nothing. That is the trouble in nutshell-we want something for nothing.
 The story in brief is this: The hot-air pedl- dler, buncoman or whatever he may be wants our money for nothing and to that end presents us with tentative bait that makes us forget the value of our money and we part with it under the delusion that we have gotten a bargain. The stiff goes off laughing, calling us ''easy marks Not that the transaction is dishonest on the face of it because we are invariably shown what we are to get for our money but by the use of a good sort of talk the stiff''- meanwhile will never let you put in word edge wise if he can help it-proceeds to show you that everything that gitterS in his possession is gold or its equivalent but he prefers silver-result, we bite
 It is only a short time ago that "smood guy came from Juneau where he had operated on nearly every business man, and proceeded to operate in like manner in Ketchikan He slashed right and left. He got bite here and there, presented resume of his success to the ogressive-8Iiner-with the result that we are whistling for S35; and it serves us right because We are as foolish as the rest of the business men,
 There are two ways to treat those hot-air peddlers. One is to bite and say nothing and the other is to chase every doggone one out of town and buy only from our business men whom We can always give tongue flashing if nothing else, if they fool us.

pan into the fire time alone will tell.
 While Mr. Gilmore resided at Nome and was a Wckersham supporter, he was very popular, apparently; but so soon as he took the notion to be the delegate from Alaska to congress, so soon his popularity faded, and from that time he kept on sliding down the hill until he reached Shacklefords camp where he took his political abode and became the latter's strongest sup porter.
 It may be that Shack gave him the office you never can tell but if he did, it is sure case where the tail shall wag the dog.' However, the wise prophets who predicted that Murane would get the plum were fooled again. There is no use talking. Shack is too smart for most of us.

SOLID FOR HUGHES

Former United States Senator Will
liam P. Jackson, Republican National
Committeeman for Maryland, is very
optimistic over the prospects for the
fall campaign and the chances of
carrying this State for Hughes France
and some of the Republican Congress
sional candidates.
81 feel very confident" said Mr..
jackson recently, "that we will de-
liver the goods in Maryland this fall,
and think We should be able to carry
the State for Hughes. France and sew
eral Congressional candidates. / am
keeping in close touch with the situa-
tion and am getting confidential re-
ports from every section of Maryland.
Whenever necessary can return from
the Adirondacks to take up any i'm
portant matter.
SIN Maryland l anticipate a solid
and absolutely united party, and /
think you will find the men who sup
ported Governor Goldsborough in the
recent Senatorial primary and those
who advocated the nomination of DR..
France will be fighting shoulder to
shoulder and in complete accord.
u have every reason to believe that
the Roosevelt people, with the excep-
tion of very few extreme radicals
will line up solidly with US, and there
is cause for the conviction that a num-
ber of Democrats will support the
ticket headed by Mr.. Hughes and
DR.. France. | consider the outlook for
our success in Maryland very bright,
and We expect to make the most
spirited campaign ever witnessed in
the State"
