t. A. Lewis, who lives out on

many doctors. He tried all sorts of

serious handicap to his work

first dose proved to him what could
be done for his ailment. He took the
full treatment; then wrote:

remedy and am feeling better than

claim it will do.

not for tlat reason underrate the
other candidates in the race. Farris,
Wood and Knott are men of recog-
nized character and ability and each
will make strong fight for the NOM
ination. Hon. Frank A. Wood, of
Pinellas, is going before the people
on a definite issue-abolishing the
fee system and putting the county
officers on a salary basis-and he is
getting out some readable literature
on the subject and giving it wide
circulation. We acknowledge the re-
ceipt of copy of his address in
pamphlet form to the Democratic
voters of Florida and we find it a
well-constructed argument in behalf
of the several planks of his platform.
Mr.. Wood has started out on an au-
tomoDile tour Of the State and will
visit Lakeland and other cities in
South Florida, making his way grad
ually tc West Florida. Like Mr..
Hudson, he is appealing to the intel
Iigence of the people on rational sub
jects and making no effort to arouse
on issues having no place
in che policies of the State.

"Dodson's Liver Tone" Is Harmless I
Clean Your Sluggish Liver
and Bowels.

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous
drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose
days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. Iffyou are slug
gsh and "all knocked out" if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour,
just try a spoonful'of harmless Dodson's
Liver Tone tonight on my guarantee.

if it doesn't straighten you right up
and make you feel fine and vigorous l
want you to 60 back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel because
it is real liver medicine; entirely vege-
table, therefore it can not salivate or
make you sick. c
I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod-
sons Liver Tone will put your sluggish
liver to work and clean your bowels of
that sour bile and constipated waste
which is clogging your system and max
ing you feel miserable. guarantee that

THE POPULAR ORATORY
OF WOODROW WILSON

No president of the United States
ever made speaking tour under cir
cumstances of gravity approaching
so near to national peril as the tour
just concluded by President Wilson
through the Middle West, and it is
equally true that no president ever
made speeches on tour of the coun-
try comparable in vital force and ar
resting power to those delivered last
week
They were intensely practical, as
befitted the subject, but there was
dynamic vibrant quality in them
that reached to brain and heart
alike. and remind one of the phrase
of S. S. Prentiss in speaking of an
other great national figure: His
very fears command our confidence,
and. like the magnetic needle, he
trembles into place.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the few pres
idents we have had who can safely
essay rhetorical flights in discussing
headed audience of the plain people
without impairing the strength of
his argument or diminishing the i'm
pressiveness of the presidential
presence. And this is proof of the
rare quality of the man in the high
er reaches of craftsmanship and the
daring of a mind fortified by deep
sincerity.
This from one of his western
speeches last week shows how he
can grace the iron framework of his
facts and his logic with the finer
forms of speech that touch the imag-
nation of the plain American citi-
zen:
"The strength of America is that
part Of 1t which is not vocal The
voice of America is a very still but
very powerful voice. My constant
endeavor in Washington is to hear
that voice. I have often said that IL
has seemed to me a very fortunate
circumstance that all the living
rooms of the White House are on
the side from which, IL you will look
out Of the windows, YOU cannot see
the city of Washington. You see in.
stead the broad field of Virginia
across the river, and your imagina.
ton has free flight over this scene
where the quiet people on the farms
and the busy people in the factories
and the absorbed men in the Offices
are realizing and living the life OF
America, and therefore from out
those great spaces of the city where
politics is so intense to the square
inch. The people in those spaces
seem to send in all those southern
windows of the executive mansion
their message of reinsurance. That
is where I listen for the still voice
of America.
