She tried many well-known remedies, but got only a few hours’ relief. She also had several reputable local physicians, but although their Intentions were good, their remedies failed. Mrs. Watson got weaker and nftire reduced In flesh and vitality each day. About *3. months ago she called'nt the Couracy & Munn drug store and procured a treatment of Qua ker Herb Extract.

When Du* organisation la perfected aa appeal to th*» voters of the party and to state organization* will be made. Tha »*ry will be renewed »lth greater force than ever that the president could not possibly be re-elected If nominated; therefore. It would be folly for the par ty to place him at the head of the tick et. Thla probably will be the keynote of the conference. Look to the South. Upon this theory, the progressive* expect to gain strength throughout the Fouth and East, as well aa.the West. Whether or not they can command enough votes in the next national con vention to seriously embarrass the re actionaries of their party, of course, remains to be seen. It ia not too early to forecast that they will have enough fon* on the floor of the convention to make the light interesting. The Chicago gathering was con ceived by the progressive Republican campaign committee, with headquarters In Washington. The managers of this committee, all of whorp are pledged to the support of LaFollette. decided that It whs necessary to plan a campaign 'on a national basts.
