Press Comments,


When you come to vote for Gest Just
stop and consider why on earth a man
living in McDOnough county should do
so. In all the time he has been in con
gress he has had no thought for this end
of the district.-Bushnell Democrat
w. III. Gest is the friend OF the laboring
man. He understands what it is to toll,
and consequently the laboring man knows
where to find him. Laboring men can
make their choice between Gest and

case the latter will be found wanting in
the balance. Monmouth atlas.

Remedies for Warts

Warts are due TO some local irritation of
the cuticle. They can be easily removed
by small doses of sulphate of magnesia,
taken internally. Children treated with
three grain doses of EPSON salts morning
and evening were promptly cured. NJ.
Aubert cites the case of woman whose
face was disfgured by these eXcrescences
and who was cured in IA month by a
dram and half of magnesia taken
daily Another medical mar reports a
case of very large warts which disappeared
in fortnight from daily administration
of ten grains of the salts. A sill simpler
but effective cure is external-mere rub
bling of the wart at frequent intervals OF
the day. This persistent agitation or
kneading seems to displace the root, and in
a short time the wart disappears.-De-
troit Free Press

A Word ABOUT Cornh.

One of the chief causes of corns, bunions,
ETC., is tight shoes. The majority of the
customers are ladies. Corns come in two
varieties-soft and hard. The soft corn is
formed by the acid perspira .on of the feet
and first appears in the shap of white
blister, whose edges easily peal off. Ladies
who wear shoes large enough for them
seldom, If ever, suffer from corns. Stumpy
or short shoes cause corns to form easily.
l have frequently known cases where a
soft corn affected the whole foot and
ankle.
Bunions are often mistake for hard
corns. A bunion forms usually on tho
side of the foot or between the toes. a
bunion is nothing more or less than a
strained joint, caused by short or narrow
shoe. French heeled boots and shoes have
been the cause of untold misery to ladies',
and since the common sense shoe has be-
come fashionable the wearers of them
have had fewer corns. Narrow dancing
pumps are also injurious to the feet. Oper-
ations on fibrous and nerve corns are ex-
tremely difficult.-Herald of Health.

Rubber Between the Sol es.

The use of a single layer of pure rubber
gum between the layers of leather that
form the sole of the walking shoe is an in
novation of shoemakers Rubber used in
this way does not heat the foot nor cause
it TO perspire as rubber overshoe does. 1t
protects the foot from dampness almost as
completely as a slip rubber. The latter
recalls the story of the new maid who was

The scarf was yard and "A quarter of

nearly half again as long as the other; the
longer end was painted with "a bunch of
red clover and leaves, and the other end

OUR NATIONAL FLOWERS.

Golden Rod the Popular FavOrite-i
The Best Representative Of Amer
lea.
Few people go into the country for
visit or drive without returning with an
abundance of golden rod which is used
to ornament the rooms of our principal
society ladies, and of the people also.
This flower has been voted the best repre-
sentative of America. by the people. But
there has been no legislative enactment
by congress establishing the same. Never
theless 1t has taken hold of the hearts
of our people to considerable extent, and
it would require long arguments to dis
place it and have another substituted.
Our lanes and byways, and hills and val
leys, from one end of the country to the
other, are prolific with this specimen of
the floral kingdom. 1t rises its sun
kissed plumes and mods them in unison
with the royal purple of the iron weed,
and will hold its own for hardness with
any plant that we know Of. Its charac-
teristics are almost purely American, yet
the Peoria journal thinks another plant
might be better representative of the
people. That is the castor bean.
True, says the Journal. this is not
a native of the United States, but
neither are the people of the United
States native to the country. The castor
bean has the same characteristic as that
of most emigrants TO this country. 1t
readily adapis itself to any part of the
soil of the nation. Its branches are
broad and the leaves are beautiful. Birds
of the air may light upon them and re-
ceive their sheltering care. Then again
this plant is useful as well as highly Or
pamental. If foreigners did not like it in
its growing state, they might perhaps be
better pleased with the extract of the
beans. 1t would have such soothing
effect upon them, something like the pic
ture of Gen. Jackson had upon a certain
member of the English nobility at on,
time.
AL nations seem to be under the neces
sity of having a national flower. Their,
is the shamrock OF Ireland, the thistle o
Scotland, the rose of England and th,
lilies of France. Even Australia has he
"bush" and for America to be behind tn,
times would never do. Therefore, if on
national legislature has not alresd
adopted the golden rod as the flower o
our country, they should do so at once

Marie's idea always was to have every
thing as simple, young and girlish as pos
sible. Her bedroom was furnished in the
most simple and severe style, all white,
with small iron bedstead, painted white,
in one corner and white ermine rug over
it for counterpane and white fur rugs on
the bare floor. Her bathroom was an eIab-

afford her an opportunity to admire the

The Manner In which the Man Of
Zeal and Other Things Gets Along.

Zeal and Other Things Gets Along.
In yesterdays ARGUS appeared some
remarks upon the glowing tribute paid
to Mr. Gest in the Union by a con-
tributor to that paper. When the
congressman from this district stood up
to speak concerning the section of the
eight.hour law allotted to him. he COM
menced by saying he would be as brief as
possible because other gentlemen wanted
to speak. One would have thought that
as he has had so much difficulty in ''catch-
ing the speakers eye In the past that he
would have made the most possible use of
the time allotted him without this unnec-
essary preface. Still he used all the time
he was allowed. except to say "this is the
first occasion during the present session
on which have occupied any time" To
this humble apology for appearing at all,
member called. "You cannot help that, "
at which there was laugh. No." said
said Mr.. Gest. "that cannot be helped, .
at which there was more laughter. This
was on the 21st of the month. On the
next day during discussion in the house
MIR. Gest made an attempt to say some
thing. and got as far as 'Mr. Speaker.
Mr.. Speaker told him that another gen.
tlemsn had the floor. Mr.. Gest again
rose and said: Il rise to enquire what is
before the house?' Mr.. Enloe answered
81 am before it," The laugh was raised
sgain. Mr.. Enloe continuing to speak,
while Mr.. Gest relapsed into his usual
silence. This all goes to show that oul
representative is man of zeal and ardol
and perseverance and other things.
