W. Kern, democratic candidate fnr
vice president in the last campaign
today issued a statement in whfch
ho reiterated his intention of not
becoming a candidate for the United
States senate. Mr. Kern gave two
reasons for his determination not to
enter the race. The first is that his
business engagements and duty to
his family would prevent his making
the campaign. His second reason he
states as follows: 'I have incurred
the displeasure of certain powerful
interests, notably the political brew
ery interests, and my candidacy, if
I were so situated that I could be a
candidate, would doubtless provoke
a' contest in some respects similar to
that of two years ago, when, under
the count of a secret ballot, these in
terests brought about my defeat.' "

Failure
to cure indigestion is largely due to
the old theory that when tho stomach
becomes inactive it needs something to
mechanically digest its contents, and
cathartics, purgatives, etc., are used,
which give only temporary relief, be
cause they digest by irritating tho lin
ing of the stomach.
Modern science recognizes the fact
that It is tho nerves that furnish mo
tive power to digest tho contents of
the stomach.
The nerves agitate and mix the food,
and stimulate tho secretions. When
they become weakened they lack
energy, and indigestion, dyspepsia,
sour stomach result.
