 With appropriate banners that easily distinguished them, the New Workers marched single file into headquarters yesterday morning. They stuck together all day Every few minutes they would cheer for New York, Birmingham or any other place or thing that took their fancy.
 One delegate from rival state en- vious of the record being made by the New York delegation suggested that they stronger than grape juice. He later repented when he found that Father Francis P. Duffy. beloved chaplain of the Rainbow division. was one of the mem- bers of the delegation
 The New Workers claim distinction in another way. They are after nothing. They do not want the next convention and they are booming no one for a di- vision office.
 The delegates who are placing New York on the map are: William N. Ken nelly, chairman; D. B. J. OConnell, sec retary; Michael J. Shea, Joseph J. Boag John J. Clifford, Walter w.

 The resolution opposing the coloni- zation of the Mennonites is as follows:
 Be 1t resolved. That the democratic state executive committee hereby un- reservedly condemns the movement now under way to bring into Missis- sippi colony of 5000 Mennonites from Canada for the following reasons:
 ''1. The said Mennonites refuse 60 allow their children to attend the pub lie schools

How to Treat
 A Torpid Liver

The liver is the largest and the most important organ in the body and when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipation, biliousness, headaches, indigest tion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath dysentery, diarrh oea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs right side. These symp- toms lead to colds, influenza or other se- rious troubles unless corrected immediately.
 An inactive liver places extra burden on the kidneys, which overtaxes them and causes the blood to absorb and carry into the system the impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to eliminate
 When you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of your trouble, and that is nights Calomel or other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver you would put your entire system in order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary.
 Dr. w. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock's Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This the Doctors fa- vorite prescription for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick, and you may eat any thing you like while taking it.
 Get large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 25c, under his personal guar antee that it will give relief. tone up the liver stimulate the kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. If your dealer will not supply you. it will be mailed dHec' by Hitchcock Medicine Co., Atlanta, Ga. upon receipt of price.-Adv-

 HELD COMPETENT
Proceedings Brought By Son Are Dismissed By
 Florida Judge
By Associated Press

West Palm Beach, Fla, July 12. Richard Croker former Tammany chief. was adjudged mentally compe- tent to handle his affairs in a decis- ion here today in which Jodge Don nell dismissed the injunction proceed ings brought by Howard Croker. son of the New Yorker,
 The son sought to have his father and his stepmother barred from dis posing of the elder Crokers Florida property, estimated at nearly a mil lion dollars, and had contended through his counsel that the former Tammany leader was not fit mentally to care for his affairs. In dismissing the suit and upholding the conten- tions of the defendant Judge Donnell assessed the costs against the son.
 The elder Croker declined to dis cuss the case tonight, saying he had not read the text of the decision. He stated that he and Mrs. Croker would leave for New York Tuesday night and would sail Saturday for Ireland. Their trip across had been postponed by the trial.
 Regarding the elder Croker's mem tality the court said: The manner and demeanor of Richard Croker. Sr, in the court and on the witness stand clearly suggested a man in full con trol of his faculties. His memory is no doubt impaired, yet he remembers dates and transactions rather accur- ately.'
 Richard Croker," the court added, "has disposed of much of his property to his wife and has not for many years given any of his property to his chil dren, but if this is his choice and he is competent to manage his affairs, it certainly cannot be stopped in a court of equity The right of property owner to make his own disposition of his holdings is jealously guarded by our law"
 Whether the son would appeal to a higher court could not be learned to- night.
