To the Democrat:
Doubtless your readers will be
pleased to know how the 33d legis-
lature will stand on reform meas-
ures. Soon after the July primary.
I sent inquiries into every county
In the state, to ascertain how nom-
inees for the legislature stood. Of
course, 1 knew how many of the
nominees stood. But I made the in-
inquiries uniform and general. Ex-
cept as to 11 members of the house
of representatives, all of the nomi-
nees have been certified to, by let-
ters on file in the Anti-Saloon
League office.

MANY DRIVEN FROM HOME.
'Every year in many parts of this
country, thousands are driven from
their homes by coughs and lung di-
seases. Friends and business at%
left behind for other climates, but
this is costly and not always sure.
A better way—the way of multi-
tudes—-iB to use Dr. King's New
Discovery and cure yourself at
home. Stay right there with your
friends, and take this safe medi-
cine. Throat and lung troubles
find quick relief and health returns.
Its help in roughs, colds, grip,
croup, whooping cough and sore
lungs make it a positive blessing,
