THIS MAN IS NEVER DISCOURAGED BT DEFEAT umitxd rasa LMSID Will Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 1. That hope springs eternal in the human breast is demonstrated in tho case of W. B. (,rBlackstone") McCoy, of Randolph county, Ark., who has been running for office for 40 years and has never been elected. An unbroken record of defeats dating back so far that only the oldest citizens remember when he began running for office does not seem to have diminish ed his ardor for serving the people in some official capacity. Dofejated in the primary, he would run in the general election, always buoyed up by the hope that some unexpected turn would land him with the victors. Eighteen consecutive times he ran for county judge. Four years ago, with a number of candidates in the field, the vote was badly split and "Blacks tone" lacked only a few votes of winning the nomination. Thinking he had been counted out, he ran as an independent and was defeaeted by the usual major ity. ' He then began running for the legis lature. Ha has just made his bi-ennial announcement and is making one of his characteristic campaigns in the county. WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, due to acidity; there fore stomach sufferors should, whore ever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemic al option in the stomach develops acid ity. Unfortunately such a rule elimin ates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as wdl as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve build ing properties. This Is the reasota why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers aro usually so thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital enorgy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benofit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from thoir diet all starchy, sweet or fatty , food, and are trying to keep up a miserable exist ence on gluten products I would sug gest (hat you should try a moal of any food or foods which you may like, in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards a tcaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a littlo hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be 'formed, and instead of the usual feeling of un easiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Tlisurated magnesia Is doubtless the best food corrective and antlcld known It has no direct action on the stom ach; hub by neutralizing tho acidity of tho food contents, and thus removing the sourco of the acid irritation which Inflames tho delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine, As a physician I buliove In the use of med icine whenever nocessary, but I must admit that I cannot see tho sense of dosing an . inf lammed and Irirtated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magne sia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the. bisuratod magnesia as directed above, and see If I am not right." ... .i; i.'-.'-.'-l .1.. i B KfW W"B,"p WWf HfW TW (s T'Hf w P ii r YeLiberty n A Big Laughing Bill Another Big Hit M Pontages' Vaudeville Sam Hood 8 M U II M I' It 'The Funniest Man' I I l Archer & Ingersoll it M i he best act on the Pontages' Program j : 5 Comedy F j Picture a D f "Two Sacks of Potatoes" ti A Muddl. ta Hers.
