Since taking Adlerika I feel like a different woman.’—Mrs. L. Worstall. Adlerika gives the system a REAL cleansing and brings oift old poisons which may have caused trouble for a long time. Unlike most medicines, it. acts upon BOTH upper and lower bowel. Just, one spoonful relieves GAS and takes away that full, bloated feeling so that you can get. better and sleep .better. Even if bowels move daily, Adlerika brings out much additional poison which you never thought was in your system and which caused sour, gassy stomach, nervousness, sleeplessness, headache. No matter what you have tried for your stomach and bowels, Adlerika will surprise you. Smith, Yager & Fulk. i

NAVAL BILL IS REPORTED TODAY Annual Appropriation Bill Is Slashed Greatly By Coolidge Economy Wash'i.gtou, Jan. 3. (United Press) —Slashed by the Coolidge economy mandate, the annual Naval appropriation bill, carrying $324,394,(180 nearly $10,000,000 below current appropriations—was reported to the house today. The appropriations committee, acting on the President’s counsel, asked no appropriations for three authorized cruisers and two giant dirigibles, and left the navy personell at its present figure of 3?,500 men. The recent proposal for ten cruisers approved by the President, stands independently in another bill, calling for no Kiualr appropriation to funds. By Paul R. Mallon (U. P.

Following, however, is th e situation Upon the various perplezing problems as they view it today: The Smith case: Frank L. Smith, rep., senator-desig-nate, of Illinois is expected to come soon to Washington to demand the seat vacated by death of Senator McKinley, desipte charges that he spent $250,000 in the Illinois primary and received money from public utilities interests whil e he was still chairman of the state public utilities commission His coming will preepitate protracted debate which may wreck the whole program of legislation.

My complexion was yellow and I was all run down. My appetite was poor and I had a disgust for food most of the time. I went down to 136 pounds, and my vitality was so low I just had no pep at all. I felt lazy and wanted to sleep all the time. I tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Then a relative recommended Viuna. Be- I fore I had taken half a bottle I felt j better, and by the time I had taken , the second bottle I had gained 4 I pounds and could cat anything, had ' a good, healthy appetite and was < Reeling fine.
