The fact that spoons are primarily in

Of their usefulness into the background.
The use OF the medicine glass is the best
way out OF the difficulty, and many fami-

use them In dispensing medicines As q

the spoons used by their patients and gov

doses. This is easy enough when the doc

when the patient calls at the office OF the
doctor.

secure accuracy in this regard by a timely

D|sLOYALTY IN MISSOURI
Republican Leaders Accused
of Not Doing Their Duty.
LUKEWARM FOR M'KINLEY
boss Fiiley, Being Turned Down for
II Place on the National Com init tee,
Is Disposed 10 Avenge Himself on
Hanna by Letting the National
Ticket Take Care of Itself.

A Missouri Republican, at present in
Washington. has received from we'll
known politician in that State letter,
which indicates peculiar situation in the
Republican camp OF Missouri, ard ems 10
call for an explanation from the state
central committee. The cor re espondent
writes that Missouri is being shamefully
treated by the Republican managers IN
the matter OF campaign literature. 1t eau-
NOT be had, lie says, and he Gcniands 10
know the reason why.
The writer was evidently under TIE i'm
preston that the Republican Congressional
committee was not acting fairly by Mis-
souri,, not understanding that the distIi-
button OF all campaign literature in the
various States is made through the state
central committee, and that the Congress
SIGNAL campaign committee is guided en-
tireiy in its Judgment as to the quantity
required by the TcquisiiioD made through
these recognized authorities.
At the Republican Congressional head
quarters here 1t was stated tiiatthe State
central committee had made a reGuisition
for loo 900 documents, and that these had
been sent. 1t was admitted that numer-
Gus complaints of an inability to get docu-
ments were being received from an over
the State.
WANT TMORELITERATURE
These complaints were forwarded 10 the
State central committee. No request from
the committee for more documents had been
received since the original loo, 900 We're
sent. and il was presumed that the State
committee had been meeting al the de-
maDds on it.
The letter from the Missouri politician,
Just received, however, would Indicate a
different state of affairs The writer had
evidently tried to get documents through
the State committee, and ha wing failed took
the view that his failure was due to the
inadequate provision for Missouri made
by the National Republican Congressional
Committee.
While the officers OF the Congressional
committee assert their tciief that the State
committee is doing its full duty their ad-
mission that they are receiving numer Gus
complaints, ana that in the face OF these
complaints have not been requested by the
State committee to send an additional sup
ply of documents, is calculated TO arouse
suspicion that the Missouri Republican
campaign managers are not living up to
their opportunities.
When sereeant-at-arms Ben +. Russell,
an ardent Filleyite, was in Washington a
few days ago he said he believed the
Republicans of Missouri would elect their
State ticket. but he was not so sure about
the national ticket. The Popuiists. he said
would fuse with the Democrats on the na-
tionai ticket, but they would not support
Stephens. the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor.
THEY SCENT DlsLoYALTY.
This was plausible. There are Repub-
hcaDs here. however. who fear that since
Filley was defeated for place on the na-
tional committee he proposes to let the
national ticket take care of itself, and
in the event that the State Republican
