on the question which had been clos

Don't Be Afraid
OF Your Meals
Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles

Fl. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured if you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment it enters the stom-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton Of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your

complete, for carrying on his work OF
city building. To his cousin, J. Frank
Adams, who sat with Mrs. Speer, and
V. L. Chucovich, a friend of many
years, his last words were concerning
the many matters which have been in
his hands for a closer cooperation
with the government service on the
part of Denver, and a coordination of
the city's best energies and minds for
war work.
Then he closed his eyes. From that
time on he gradually grew weaker,
his heart refusing to respond to the
stimulation administered by his ply
sician, who had been with him con-
stantly since Sunday, when pneu-
monia claimed him as a victim. Death
came to him in easy form, painless.
Mr.. Speer was 63 years old. He
had been weeks at his desk, long
hours each day. Contracting a severe
cold, he had refused the urgent pleas
of his friends to go to his home. The
strain Of the burdens of city govern
ment and his illness sapped his
strength and left him little with
which to combat the ravages of the
dread disease.
AS the word went speeding from Of
flee to office and store to store, men
Of business and the professions voiced
sorrow that bespoke the feeling
with which Mr.. Speer was held in
Denver.
The body of the mayor now rests
in his home. Interment will be in
Fairmount cemetery and, in all prob
ability, eventually the citizens Of Den
yer will erect mausoleum as their
tribute to the man.

cried openly when they were told.
Monday had been set for the mayors
return to his desk to take up again
the work into which he had, since his
reelection two years ago, thrown all
his energies. That work now must be
taken up by W. F. R. Mills, manager
Of parks, who automatically becomes
mayor. He will carry out, it is said,
the policies Mr.. Speer held, and con-
tinue the great works of Improvement
he had started.

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
30 years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. It is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
