According to the interpretation of the
prohibitory law by the Christian Civic
League Record, III an article on the 2nd
page the practice of indicting druggists
simply because they hold United States
licenses is all wrong. They cannot
handle LIQUORS without a United States
license: and the Record says that " a
druggist has a legal right to use intoxi-
eating liquors in the compromising OF
medicine; hence has right to have
such liquor in stock" The sale of in
toxicating liquor by druggist, even on
the prescription of physician, is un-
lawful; and the Somerset Reporter, a
staunch advocate of prohibition, says
"A provision allowing druggists to dis
pense liquors for medicinal purposes,
under proper restrictions, would greatly
strengthen the Maine prohibitory law. y

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
tie diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an int1amed condition of the mu-

this tube gets intiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-

Retires From Live Stock Conn
mission April 1st.
0. P. Updegraff of Topeka Like
ly to Succeed Him.
PRACTICAL STOCKMAN
Recon- mended to Succeed a
POpniist Politician.
Farmers and Breeders Unite on
Mr.. Updegraff.

The Improved Stock Breeders and the
state board of agriculture endorsed O.
P. Updegraff for a place on the state
live stock sanitary commission. It is
said the governor has promised to ap-
point Updegran.
When Mr.. Updegraff walked into the
meeting of the State Stock Breeders
association Monday he was not a candi-
date for this place. Half an hour later
a few of his friends asked him if he
would accept it. In his good natured
way Updegraff said:
I would accept it if 1 could get it, of
course"
That was all that he heard of the
matter until the resolution endorsing
his candidacy was adopted by the
breeders.
Then came the farmers who adopted
a similar resolution.
The place which Mr.. Updegraff's
friends have asked for him is now oc-
cupied by Taylor Riddle who retires
owing to the expiration of his term of
office in April.
a fight has been made on Riddle by
members of his own party but the fact
that he was confirmed by the senate
caused the governor to permit him to
retain the place until the time expired.
Mr. Updegraff is a practical stock
man, and probable would look after
business instead of politics.

BAILEY'S VIEW.
Representative Gives His Estimate Of
the First District Fight.

Washington, Jan. 3-Representativ
Bailey appears to be well pleased with
the political situation in the first dis
trict. In fact he is confident that he
will control the congressional conven-
ton and thus be able to defeat Mr.. Cur
tbs for the nomination. Mr.. Bailey SAID
in discussing the political situation;
I do not expect, but am confident
that will be the nominee of the Repub-
hcans for congress from the First dis
trict. have made very close canvass
of the district and believe know
whereof speak. The situation is sim
ply this:
Upon the basis of the last congress
sional convention there will be 80 dele
gates from the eight counties which
comprise the First district as follows:
Shawnee, "a; Brown, II; Leavenworth
ID; Nemaha, 10; Doniphan, 10; . ackson
9; Jefferson, 8; Atchison, 10. Total, 80.
Forty mine votes will therefore be
necessary to a choice. Now it is prac-
tically conceded that will carry four
of these counties as follows: Leaven-
worth, Nemaha, Doniphan and Jackson,
which would give me to start with AZ
votes.
Now on the other hand Mr.. Curtis
only has one county sure-Shawnee-
which has "A votes. In order to win he
must carry Brown, Jefferson and Atchi-
son counties, while on the other hand
have only got to get five votes out of
believe that will carry at least two OF
them, and probably all three.
This, I think is an accurate state
ment of the situation and it seems to
me that my friends have decidedly the
best of the fight
