DAYS working up data and other ma
terial and it is said has already
opened an Office down town which
will be headquarters where efforts
to discredit the work of the legisla-
ture will be carried out.
Alive to Situation.
The democrats are said to be fully
alive to the situation and know that
il the people can be hoodwinked into
signing a petition calling for refer
endum on many of the acts of the
legislature before those acts are Civ
en- a chance for trial by the people
themselves there will be chance for
perhaps a look-in when the next
election comes around.
They are advocating with loud
acclaim that the people should be
considered in the matter, yet they
are afraid to give the people a
chance to try the laws.
Under the law, if sufficient names
are secured to petitions on any law
passed by the legislature, that law
is hung up and cannot be put in OPP
Grafton until after the people have
voted upon the referendum of the
law.
Thus acts of the legislature may
be made imperative before chance
is given to try out the merits of the
same and the work of 1873 men in a
session lasting three months or
more is discredited.

Causes Much Comment.

Lincoln, April 30.-Just. after a
republican legislature has recog-
nized the rights of the women to
take part in party organization and
have an equal part with the man in
controlling the affairs of a county
committee, certain republicans un-
der the leadership of Charles w.
Bryan, twice democratic candidate
for governor. should take such ac-
ton as would deprive the women Of
chance to participate in party or
ganization, is causing great deal
of comment
1t had generally been understood
that the Bryan wing of the demo-
cratic party was favorable to woman
suffrage, or at least they have, been
advertising themselves as such, but
it was due to the efforts of Mr.. Bry-
an, aided by some of his fellow dem
ocrats and a few republicans that at
the meeting yesterday called for the
purpose of invoking the referendum
on the new primary law, action was
taken which includes in the referen-
dunn on the bill that section of the
new law giving women representa-
ton in party organizations.
Ants Gain.
The meeting appeared at first to
be about equally divided between
the anti-woman advocates led by
Mr.. Bryan and the friends of the
suffrage section led by c. A. Soren-
son. However, before the meeting
was over the advocates of disfran-
chising the women in the matter of
party organization were joined by
Sen. C. P. Peterson, Charlie Ran
dali of Newman Grove, N. P. Dodge
of Omaha and one or two others.
The opponents of the plans were,
besides Mr.. Sorenson, A. E. Shelton
and R. B. Howell of Omaha. These
wanted the referendum invoked only
on that part of the bill relating to
the convention for nominating state
officers below governor, leaving in
the section relating to allowing
the women to have part in party
organization.
However, the referendum will be
invoked on the entire bill

Make This Test For
Acid.St0n1acl1

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
of an Observation-Disclosures; sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heart
burn; sickening food-repeating; pain
full bloat and that miserable, pulled
up, lumpy feeling after eating. Many
of these people have tried treatment
after treatment; medicine after medi-
cine; others have gone to doctors
and stomach specialists and some to
hospitals but IN spite of all of their
efforts they have obtained no lasting
relief or a permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot of ser
ious trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt, lumbago, sciatica, splitting
headache, dizzy spells, nervousness,
sleeplessness, mental depression, mel
ancholia, a feeling of hstlessness and
a1l-goneness-these are just few Of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS a matter of fact,
acid-stomach is often the direct cause
of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach, in
testinal ulcer, and cancer of the stom-
ach. The lives of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are nothing
short of daily agony. Surely, then,
you must see how important 1t Is TO
go at once TO the seat of the trouble
-acid-stomach. You know what acid

mouth does to the teeth-how it eats
right through the hard enamel and
causes them TO decay. Think then
of the havoc that must be caused by
excess acid in the stomach
Even if you are not suffering any
immediate stomach pains, but are not
feeling just as fit and fine as you
should, you should by all means make
this test: go to your drug store at
once and get a big box of EATONIC.
1t Is in the form of pleasant-tasting
tablets-you eat them like a bit of
candy. EATONIC is prepared for
just one purpose - correcting acid
stomach by driving out the excess
acid. EATONIC literally sbsorbs
the excess acid. It brings instant re-
lief from the pains of Indigestion,
heartburn, belching, sour, gassy
stomach, bloat, etc. 1t makes the
stomach pure, sweet, cool and COM
Portable, puts it in a normal, healthy
condition, so that your food is proper
ly digested. You need every bit of
strength you can possibly get out of
the food you eat-and EATONIC
helps you get it.
Don't put this test off if you value
your future good health and happi-
ness. You run no chance at ali be-
cause EATONIC is absolutely guar
anteed to give you relief or your
druggist will refund your money.
The cost is a mere tritle.
