of Ache

There are many forms of headache,
but the sick headache is about the
worst ever. When it once fastens on
you. it lasts good while, unless you
know how to get rid of it. Sick head
ache usually comes from the stomach
or liver, and you must help these or
gans before the head can be relieved.
A few doses of Il. F." Atwood's Med
icine will put your stomach to rights,
regulate the bile, and act on the bow
els. AS soon as good order is Sc
cured. the dizzy feeling and nagging
pain will leave your head, and soon
you will be as we'll as ever. No medi-
cine is better for sick headache or

The Burned Plank

1t was not until yesterday that the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson formally and
finally repudiated this pledge con-
tained in the platform on which he ran
for president three years and half
ago, receiving the number of electoral
voted needed to elect him:
1--WE favor a single presidential term
and to that end urge the adoption Of
an amendment to the constitution
making the president of the United
States ineligible for reelection, and
we pledge the candidate of this con-
vcntion to this principle"
Yesterday the political beneficiary
of the foregoing declaration Of demo-
cratic principle and registration Of
democratic promise wrote as follows
to the Ohio secretary of state:
an order, therefore, to satisfy the
technical (sic) requirements of the
statute of the state of Ohio l hereby
consent to the use of my name as a
candidate for the presidency by any
candidate who seeks to be elected a
delegate to the national democratic
convention which is to assemble in
June next"
Thus the democratic principle of
the single term and the democratic
pledge in behalf of the Hon. Woodrow
Wilson are thrust by the beneficiary's
own unshrinking hands into the ere
matory furnace.
There have been other burnt sacri-
fees to the same political and personal
ambition, but we ere bound to say
that the odor Of the combustion is not
pleasing.-New York Sun.
