he Peoples Party or Alliance can
didates received II, 1913 votes at the re-
cent election in this state. Every one
OF these votes naturally belongs to
the Democratic party. All OF these
men are opposed to high tariffs, class
privileges and the silver legislation
Of the republican party. The AL
lance voters are nothing more or less
than radical Democrats, and sooner
or later, if they are true to their own
teaching they will be found, to still
further increase the majorities OF the
great party that stands nearest to
Observation-Disclosures Democrat.
Before these 1913 will become
fully identified with the democratic
party it must cease to occupy an
equivocal position on the silver ques.
ton and must demand the abolition
of the national banking system. II
is unquestionably true that the posi-
tion of the Iowa Democracy as put
forth in its state platform transferred
. great many thousand who had tired
of republican rule in Iowa, from the
Peoples or Alliance to the democrat
ic party. But to retain them and
gain others there must be an honest
effort and purpose to carry into effect
the principles enunciated in the
platform that disintegrated the PEG.
pies party transferring it's voters to
the Democratic column.

SlR HENRY THOMPSON, the noted Lon.
don physician, says that more than one-half
of the diseases Of modern life are caused by
easily avoidable errors in diet.
Its well known that the drunkard brings
his ruin upon himself; but 1t is startling to
be told in effect BY so able physician that,
but for our ignorance, it is Is much sin TO
be i'll as to be drunk.
The proprietors Of Garfield Tea have
been doing missionary work in this field.
They include with each of the millions Of
free samples they yearly distribute. valuable
medical essays on the use Of hot water Is
remedy, and Of diet in disease; and with
each package Of Tea 2 booklet worth its
weight in gold, written BY well-known ny.
gienic physician, residing in New York and
London, and graduate Of the New York
University Medical College. pointing out :
few simple rules whereby oil persons Of or
binary intelligence are able to conduct an
attack of illness without calling doctor
showing how to get well and keep well. and
how SO to live that no one need long use
Garfield Tea or any other medicine. Tn
til then, Garfield Tea helps overcome the
evils Of bad diet and over-eating.
This booklet also gives the DR.. Salisbury
treatment Of chopped meat and hot water )
also the secret Of the success Of the milk cure
and the grape cure in Europe.
And also, why the great success attending
treatment at Carlsbad and other famous
health springs and shows how anyone may
substantially get all the good results that
come from such health resorts at home, by
following the rules plainly set out in the
little book.
Why are physicians SO much opposed to
proprietary medicines7 Is It because such
meritorious articles as Ponds Extract or
Garfield Tea become household necessities
and enable people to do their own doctoring
and 50 keep money out Of the pockets q
physicians.

a Rough Wallet de chambre.

Mr.. r. w. Crandall tells story of a
man he knew many years ago in Port
land whose clothes got tangled on line
shaft, and who, after having been car
ried around the shaft ever so many
times, found himself standing on the
floor of the engine room, without a
wound or scratch, clothed in a necktie
and one boot.
We are reminded of this story by an
event which occurred the other day on
the stock ranch of Mayor Mays, near
Salt Springs. In this case only stock
ing and skirt of a dress were stripped off
but the neat way il was done, when one
takes into account the instrument that
did it, gives it place among accidents,
where singular good fortune saved the
victim from great danger. The wife of
the foreman of Mr.. Mays ranch, referred
to, for the sake of little variety,
more than necessity, thought she would
drive the horse rake for while, while
the men were engaged cutting hay. By
some means one of the shafts became
detached from the rake and dropping to
the ground frightened the horse SO that
he became unmanagable and made a
straight run for four-strand barbed-
wire fence, which he dashed through,
bringing Mrs. Moore. who still clung to
the seat, and the rake with him. The
dash against the wire threw Mrs. Moore
! to the ground. When the horse became
idisentangled from the wire he continued
OH the run till the rake was completely
ruined but himself received only few
trifing scratches. When Mrs. Moore
picked herself up she found herself
minus the skirt of her dress, one shoe
AID stocking which was taken off as
neatly as if she had done it herself,
leaving her with only few scratches
on the naked foot. A barbed- wire fence
is the last instrument one would think
of for taking off a lady g stocking, but in
this case it did its work well.
