Get q 10-cent box.
 Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fernenting food in the bowels or sour. gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigest- ed food and foul gases, take the ex- cess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box rom your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months.

TYLER TAKES FLING
 AT J. H. RORABACk
Charges Him With Debating
 Policies Of Assembly

Charging that J. Henry RorabaCk, head of the republican organization in the state of Connecticut, is distat- ing the policies of the state legis- lature by his influence on its. large republican majority while he is reaping benefits as head of several private concerns throughout the state, Rollin L. Tyler, democratic nominee for United States senator in a talk at democratic rally at the Central Junior High school urged that the days of oligarchy be put at an end.
 His talk was the feature of several addresses given at the rally which was attended by a small group. Weather conditions were so unsatis- factory that large groups from Plainville, Newington, and Berlin who planned to be at the meeting had to abandon their plans it is said.
 Those in attendance enjoyed talks by MT. Tyler, ex-Congressman P. B. O'Sullivan of Derby and Mrs. Lillian Abbott, a member of the democratic national committee. Clifton E. Dav- enport, nominee of the democrats for senator from New Britain, was chairman of the meeting and at its opening gave a short address,
 Mir. O'Sullivan spoke of alleged abuses which he noticed as mem ber of congress. He stresses several facts concerning the scandals which were brought about by alleged re- publican graft. At one time he said, q suppose 1t is unfair to speak about the s3O0,00O,000 that was stolen by the grafters, or the num- Der of widows, children and minors who were the victims of their em- bezzlements."
 Mrs. Abbott gave the final ad- dress. She spoke at times humorous ly on the womens' part in the cleo tions She told the member her stand on prohibition is just the same as that of the democratic party, repeal of the 18th amend ment.
 Mir. Tyler spoke In part as fol- lows:
 "To avoid the possibility of mis- apprehension regarding my own course. I may say this further word: I have never sought any public of- fee. To me, public office means a burden of responsibility, a burden or incessant toll at times almost ln- toIerable which under honorable conditions and at the command of the people it may be a duty ana even a pleasure to assume, but from my own standpoint, it is far from being an object of ambition.
 "Therefore, on various occasions during my long and checkered career, I have felt constrained, for personal or business reasons, when seemed to me sufficient, to decline a number of political or judicial hon ors, which have been tendered ooth by my own party and by the opposl- tiOn. and I have had numerous sug- gestions from my friends and vel wishers in both the leading partleS that I ought to accept such hon. ors, or that it was my duty to dc SO or that I had not given them a fair chance to vote for me as often as I should.
 "To all of such friends, of what ever party, I now give notice that here is an opportunity to make UT for lost time, for I am now in a receptive mood, and their support will be appreciated, not for my owr personal qualification, however. but in order that they may help me tc do my patriotic duty to my native state.
