• Robert asks: "I am constipated,
tongue coated, have headache, dizzy
spells and indigestion sometimes.
I'lease advise'.'"

using Three Grain Kulpherb Tablets
c not sulphur/. These tablets are lax
ative, act on the liver, kidneys and
bowels and tend to keep the blood
pure by arousing the eliminatlve
functions. Relief should follow
quickly.

mv spine and frightful headache in
back of head, fainting spells, twitch
ing and trembling. nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of appetite and
strength, and in fact am a 'has been,'
when it comes to performing accus
tomed work and duties." •
Answer; In all such cases the is
siiniiative functions have not kept
place with waste functions and u
ppwerful harmless tonic, treatment is
needed. 1 find Three Grain Cadomene
Tablets unexcelled and astonishingly
beneficial in such cases and advise
them for you.
"Lucy" says: ."Some time ago I
contracted a very severe cold and
cough. I have tried many remedies,

Answer: What you need Is a laxa
tive cough syrup, one that will drive
the cold from your system. The fol
lowing prescription will check your
coal and cough: Get a 2%-ox. pack

the entire House of Representatives. ;
In addition we shall elect four Con- i
gressnien-at-large and thirty-two'
from the various districts. The Re- ;
publicans have selected candidates of j
experience and ability nnd it is es
sential to the good name and wel
fare of the state that we elect them.
"We want as our representatives
at Washingion and Harrisburg men
who have at heart the best indus
trial interests of the nation and
state. We have been giving, to the
| utmost limit, men and money in a
war for democracy. Our minds are
! largely on the western front, and
j victory seems assured. But the fruits
I of that victory, gained at such a
' cost, can only be enjoyed through
future able management in legisla
tion and administration. Republi
can leaders are working to maintain
and perpetuate a democracy at
home, with industrial liberty and
i progress in the years to come.
"We are passing through a criti
cal period. A still more critical
period will' follow—perhaps very
soon—and we must take lesson from
our unpreparedness for war, with its
awful cost, and not fail to prepare
now for peace. We beg you to give
heed to the urgency of the situation.
One-fifth and more of our voters are
away from the state in tlie nation's
service. As man ymore have failed
to register. Of these absent and un
registered voters the large propor
tion are Republicans, and as the
Democrats in their fight for faction
have registered very fully, success
in close Congressional, Senatorial
and Assembly districts is by no
means assured.
"The Pennsylvania Patriotic Union
was largely instrumental in the
nomination of candidates whose abil
ity and integrity are unquestioned.
It is not surprising then that this
organization has been chosen to
complete the good work by gelting
every voter possible to the polls.
"But this necessary and legiti
mate work in every Congressional
and Senate and Assembly district
means a vast amount of' necessary
labor and expense at every step. It
must be done if we are to win."
