Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, disease may
often be avoided. This is particularly
true of headache The most common
cause of headache is disordere stom-
ach or constipation, which may be cor
rected by taking few doses of Cham
berlain's Tablets. Try it. Many others
have obtained permanent relief by TAX
ing these Tablets. They are easy to
take and mild and gentle in effect.

run his little forty-acre farm. I have
recommended an inheritance tax of 8
per cent, but the legislature did not
uphold me. Kentucky got the money
from the Flagler estate, more than
a million dollars. We let that escape
us; we should have an inheritance tax,
and you should ask your representa-
tives for it at the next session of the
legislature. We want tax on incor-
porated companies, and then there
wouldn't be so much water in their
stock and they would get down nearer
to face values If these were taxed, it
would bring a large amount to F'lori-

The Spirit of Washington

Americans have with today
A spirit that our loyal hearts enshrine,-
That, when the dawn of Liberty gray,
Called forth fathers to the battle line
Twas Freedom, them valiant fathers sought,
With faces set toward rift of light
That widened and grew deeper they fought
And guided them to vct'ry in the fight.
Once the ugly face of tyranny
Leers at the world, and again must men
Put on the if they would be free;
Must sacrifice and suffer, now, then
When forces of Autocracy, rough-shod,
The principles of Liberty beset,
We rise to again, and thank God
The Soul of Washington is with US yet

The spacious dining room of the no.

Don's Neglect the Teeth.

The teeth are an important factor m
maintaining health. Poor, irregular,
decayed teeth cause foul breath and
do not permit the thorough mastsca-
ton Of food. This creates intestinal
disorders, caused by Jumps Of partly
masticated food lying and fermentiag
Ia the stomach.
All food must be In q liquid state
before it can pass into the intestinal
tract, so If this task be continually In
posed on the stomach 1t produces d.

The mouth is indicative OF charec-
ter and as expressive as the eye. Re
Gned and particular people do not neg

Aentifrice and a fairly stiff brush-al
these give pearly teeth, clean, sweet

order curtails the output of enamel

The clerk ia the Office or the work

He is a $4,000 man-that is, be is

man with $4,000 who depends solely
upon the income from his investments

The man who earns $40 a week has
about the same income as the investor

teen American publishers says OF him
He abolished debt imprisonment aud
religious test oaths for witnesses In

expedition to Japan, with instructions
Tor action that won the 'open door

as a citizen of Buffalo Fillmore laid
the foundations of most Of Its present

him popular while he lived and read
