Hon. Rufus C. Echols, one of the
staunohest citizens and rock-ribbed
'democrats in Oklahoma in quitting
the political arena and the tripod
makes Old Greer feel like "thirty
cents". Greer was treated bad
enough when butchered by its ene-
mies, but what can be said when
Mr. Echols quits the field and
leaves the old county bereft of its
strength and of its glory? Who
will make good her once proud
prestige in the ranks of democracy,
now that she is shorn of her
strength, and who will call the roll
of an unbroken phalnx of battled,
scared veterans of democracy?
A DEMOCRAT.
The Farmer's Wife
la very careful about her churn. She
scalds It thoroughly after using, and give*
It a sun bath to sweeten It. She knows
that If her churn is sour It will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach Is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn is foul It
makes foul all which is put Into It?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout tho body.
Dr. l'lcrce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn—absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way It cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or disoases arising from bad blood.
If you havo bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated totifiie, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressod
and dospondont, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or Irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider-
able number of thein, Indicate that you are
