very well, but when a person is. in
the Navy he will learn all sorts OF
trades. The people in civilian life,
would sure laugh If they could see
all of what the sailors would have
to do. But never mind, we get
there just the same. Speaking
about what we get to eat and wear,
we get plenty such as beans. pota-
toes, cabbage, tomatoes. meats of all
kinds, coffee Tor breakfast and din
ner, and tea for supper, so nobody
will starve on that, and we are al
lowed one hundred and five dollars
worth of clothing, and all over that
the sailors have to pay for them
selves. Our sleeping quarters are

over with him, so the next thing he

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE SHOULD
BE SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.

The Republican press and their
senatorial candidate complain that
the Democrats are urging the cleo
ton of Governor Stanley as the sur
est means to aid President Wilson
in the prosecution of the war and en-
deavor to controvert the very palpa-
BILE fact. They forget, if they ever
knew, that such argument was used
and with winning result by Col.
Roosevelt in 1898, when he was the
Republican nominee for Governor of
New York. Speaking with reference
to the almost insignificant war with
Spain, he said in his speeches, "a re-
fusal to sustain the President this
year will in the eyes of the nations
of Europe, be read as a refusal to
sustain the war and to sustain the
efforts of our peace commission to
ecure the fruit of the war; If such
an argument was good then, it is of
| infinitely more Importance now when
the country is engaged in the great
est war the world has ever known.
If the Colonel is as honest as he ap-
pears to be courageous, he is bound
to say that the same reason exists
now for the election of Governor
Stanley and the entire Democratic
delegation to Congress and to urge
their election.
In the same year former President
Benjamin Harrison, in pleading for
Che election of Republican congress
Maid that "the failure to do so, would
give Spain CLEAN of hope, cause
her to renew hostilities and more
war would be necessary to secure
what we have already won." If
these distinguished of the Repub-
lican party were right, then, the
Democrats are more so now in urg-
ing the election of their nominees
and it comes with bad grace for the
latter day seekers for office to deride
or attempt to refute theargument.
Democrats should keep it in mind
that vote for Governor Stanley
and the other Democratic nominees
means a vote of confidence in the
war policies of the great man at
Washington, who will be heartened
in his arduous labors by the cleo
ton of his party associates, who will
always stand by him in every pa
triotic effort.

RELIEVING CONSTIPATION.

When the bowels become consti
pated or clogged by an accumula.
tion OF feces, the residum thus re-
tanned slowly decomposes, produc-
ing gases and liquids, which are abb
sorbed by the intestines and taken
up by the blood. Unless the bowels
are thoroughly cleansed and a regu-
lar habit established, the poison
thus taken into the system may
manifest itself in boils, blotches,
pimples and sores. Inflammation
of the bowels, liver and kidneys may
also result, and the absorption of
the bile and uric acid by the blood
becomes the source of rheumatism
and neuralgia affections.
In the train of constipation fol-
lows a multitude of diseases. Thus
1t often happens that a course of the
great WIN HEPATICA treatment re-
moves not only the constipated con-
dition but other painful ailments
which result therefrom.

when | thought l would simply have
to give up my work on the road.
No one knows how much l suffered

stipated, and my whole digestive
system was upset. But the tide hes
turned for me now, and / am on the
