Chairman Jones was right,
Mr. Bryan will not pack the
U. S.' Supreme 4 Court; he,
will not be given thi opportunity.
Mr. Bryan's chance to
console himself for his de
feat for the Presidency with
a seat in the Senate grows
less every day.

Mr. Bryan's failure to

Senator Hanna says he
has no desire to change his

An independent and im

what they have in the pres

THE TABLET, OP LIFE
a- 5 ( Piiula At Lomgan Vitam.)
The Scientific Discovery of
the Age!
The Magic fOKey to the Mys-
tery of Iiife! .
" From times immemorial it has been
man's'predominating ambition to pro
long life.. But among the many brilliant
minds, who have devoted their lives to
the fascinating subject; it was left for the
immortal Darwin to give to the world, in
his great theory of Life, the fundamental
principle upon which to build all further
research in this direction. Following
. closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr!
Jjudwig Buechner, a German scientist of
international renown, with his remarka
ble work entitled "Das Buch des Langen
Ivebens' (thebook on longevity. ) But
alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he could
reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine.
Others however, equally ' great took up
the interrupted thread with the result
that two famous German scientists, after
years of experiments and research, have
at last discovered the secret of Longevity
in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable
Compound, which; if properly used, will
positively prolong Life. This new reine
dv appropriately named "Longavita"
meaning Long Life) has been subjected
o the. most rigid tests at all the leading
clinics and hospitals throughout Europe
.vitn marvelous results. Appreciating
the importance of this discovery, we
have acquired, "at enormous cost, the ex
clusive proprietary right to this truly
wonderful preparation, which has proved
a blessing to mankind. 'Longavita' ' is
the true Tablet of Life, a rejuvenator par
excellence, embodying the.veritable sec
ret of longevity in a practical, feasible
iorm. It is the fountain joi perpetual
youth, which it prolongs far beyond its
present limits, while retaining health in
a perfectly normal state. 'Longavita'
brightens the eye, stimulates mental ac
tivity, gives elasticity to the step, makes
the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses
the system, purifies the skin, .and is the
only true Ponce de Leon remedy for old
and young of both sexes. Kndorsed by
Europe's leading physicians.
