Washington, Feb. TO- Special. AS

not accept the nomination for presi.
dent If il is rendered him by the Re
publican national convention This is
going TO be made so plain before the
convention assemblies that no one will
be talking Of Hughes as a possibility
at that time Hughes will not be con

OF course there are many admirers

This opens up wide vista Of spec

Right of MisgoVernment
Some good ideas were sent adrift
during the discussion Of the Philippine
bill i'm the senate. One Of them is con.
tanned in the short speech of Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts when he said :
There is the view that a people
have a right to misgoyern themselves
In their own way. Ii may he misgov-
eminent according to our ideas. but
they have right to misgovern them
selves in their own way ! quite ac-
cede to that theory. think we have
q right to misgovern ourselves. and we

THERE is a widespread fancy that GER
l. tain drugs have some vague but bene-
fetal influence upon the liver There is a
made-to-order notion to go with this
idea, a notion that vague pains in vague
situations. and vague states of mind are
symptoms OF 'liver complaint" and indl-
cate the use of some OF these alleged liver
remedies.
Salines-salts-whether in natural spring
water or in fancy packages, undoubtedly
do help to reduce portal engagement
That Is to say, II one eats too heartily
occasionally or habltually, a saline cath
artic in sufficient dose TO produce two or
three watery excavations will directly
lower blood pressure In the portal area
(the veins conveying blood to and
through the liver. and thus give some re-
lief. But temperance In eating, absti-
nence or fasting II necessary. will prevent
what the saline only helps. 1t is more
sensible not to pack in the excess of food
than to stuff as matter of habit and
then resort to a cathartic to force
passage through the alimentary canal.
And then there are numberless dunn
dums" made and sold under the implied
idea that they do something or other to
that liver. OF course, no laxative has
any special affinity or selective action on
the liver, not even the well-known calo-
mel, except in the imagination of the
patient.
Liver trouble is mostly leg trouble
the victim doesn't walk enough 10 keep
the blood circulating and metabolism
metabolizing. And too often the leg
trouble is shoe trouble-fashionabl shoes
built without the least regard for anat-
omical or physiological requirements, In
fact, the shoemakers assume that legs
were made wholly to admire and not to
use for any practical purpose.
Bread and Milk Club members get
along fairly well with their livers. They
feel better Tuesday than most people on
Monday morning.
Rest for the liver is obtained by:
First. Cutting down by one-half the
butchers bill
Second. Reducing the total of fats in
the diet to about two-thirds of the
amount commonly consumed.
Third. Relying upon bulky vegetables,
cereals, fruits and perhaps occasional
