Don't Prod Your
Liver TO Action
Mr. ovsreomea 6ilicusness, constipa-
ton, Sick Headache, Quickly. No
Gripping or Pain. Guaranteed.

The organs of digestion, assimila-
ton and eiimination-the stomach,
liver and bowels-are closely allied,
and the. proper .action~of any of these
organs is largely dependent upon tho
correct functioning of all the others.
Whipping your liver into action
with caiomel or forcing your bowels
with irritating la-:atires or strong
cathartics is a great mistake. A bet
ter, safer plan is Strengthening and
toning the whole digestive and cli:nina-
tive system with Natures Remedy
tNR Tablets). which not only brings
immediate relief, but genuine and last
ing benefit. 1t acts on tho stomach,
liver, bowels and kidneys, improves
digestion and assimilation, overcomes
biliousness, corrects constipation and
quickly relieves sick headaches.
Get your system thorouTlli cleansed
and purified for once; stomach, liver
and bowels working together in Wig
orous harmony, and you will not have
to take medicine every day-jnst take
one Mr. Tablet occasionally to keep
your system in good condition and all
ways feel your best. Remember it is
easier and cheaper to keep well than
1t is to get well.
Get 8. Csc box and try 1t with the
understanding that it must give you
greater relief and benefit than any
bowel or liver medicine you ever used
or no pay. Natures Remedy (NR
Tablets) is sold, guaranteed and
recommended by your druggist

TO ELIMINATE
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Republican Leaders Oppose It Despite
Recommendation of the
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Universal
military training may not be included
in the house army reorganization bill
under plan adopted yesterday by Re-
publican leaders calling for considera
ton of the measure the latter part of
this week. None of the leaders deny
that omission of a training plan was
likely, but assert that no final agree
ment has been made with the advo-
Gates of the training proposal.
Despite the decision of the military
committee adopting universal training,
IN principle, as a part of the country 5
future military policy, efforts were
made yesterday to prevent the commit
tee decision from appearing in the re-
organization bill. Chairman Kahn, who
held numerous informal conferences
with the leaders and supporters of the
training, said no decision had been
reached, and Representative Mondell.
the Republican floor leader, declined to
discuss the movement further than to
assert the army bill was slated to
come before the house Thursday.
Mr.. Mondell was understood to have
suggested the discard of the training
plan, he being supported by other
house leaders, who assert that passage
of a reorganization bill, including a
training plan, is impossible at present.
The floor leader is understood to have
proposed that instead of a training
plan, that the army bill merely provide
for a congressional commission on
physical and military training which
would make report to congress next
December.

the Disease Has Been Found.

Rheuma. the wonderful rheumatism remedy
