HEALTH And BEAUTY
Promptly Regained by the Use of
Peruna the Great Tonic.

Miss Alice Calrow, 1926 Central avenue, Min
neapois, Mimi, writes:
"About year ago my health began to fail,
and my complexion, which up to that time,
had been clear and brilliant, began to grow
dull and rough.
"I tried several advertised remedies with no
result. finally decided it was a tonic I need
ed, and reading of your celebrated Peruna, I
concluded to try it. The result was wonderful.
"I have taken only four bottles ard my face
is as smooth and cheeks as red as formerly.
Gas tonic for the blood too m cannot be
said for Peruna.
"I will cheerfully recommend it to any one
who will write concerning it."
Miss Jennie Johnson, vice president Chicago
Teachers Federation, and a teacher in the
Healey school of Chicago, writes the following
from 31S Lake Park avenue, Chicago: During
the past ten years have been a teacher in Chi
cago and have found myself worn out and in
need of q tonic. Among the different remedies

ure in the election Of more than one
president. Pennsylvania gave her
electoral vote to Buchanan in 1856 un-
der the impression that he would ia
vor protection in accordance with his
known views; but he failed to do so.
The remark of General Hancock, that
the tariff is a local QUESTION" while
literally true, was turned against him
with such force and skill, during the
last three weeks of the canvass as to
secure his defeat. The free trade mes
sage of President Cleveland in Decem-
br, 1887, elected General Harrison In
the following year; and strangely
enough, the Mckinley protective tariff
bill of 1890 defeated it's author the same
year. and was a potent factor in the
defeat of Harrison and the second
election of Cleveland in 1892 on the
other hand, the low tariff Wilson bill
of 1894 carried the congressional elec-
tions of that year and helped to elect
Mckinley in 1896 What influence the
Dingley tariff will have in the election
this year is a problem: but the fact
is clear that the adroit and tactful pre-
sentation of the question of protec-
ton or tariff-for-revenue-o only at op-
portuhe times has carried national
elections several times. 1t proves that
the people are open to seasonable ar
gument, and every campaign is more
or less a campaign of education
learning and unlearning.

1876.

The Republicans in convention felici-
tated themselves on the preservation
of the Union and the pacifcation of
the south; favored the adjustment of
the tariff duties so as to promote the
interests OF American labor and ad-
vance the prosperity of the whole
country; demanded the same protec-
tion for adopted citizens as to natives
born; equal rights for women; de-
clared the constitution ccnfers on con-
gress sovereign power over the terri
tories and demanded the eXtirpation
of polygamy. Ii arralGHed the Demo-

1856.

The American party, the national eX-
ponent of the local and state know

declaring that native born American
citizens should be selected for all ma
tional, state and municipal offices; that
naturalization laws should be amended
so as to require a residence of twen y
one years as an indispensable requisite

The Democ, attic convention again
proclaimed the limitation Of the federal
government and declared congress had
no power to charter a national bank,

foster industry by protective tariff;
defended the veto power, praised the

declaration on the issue Of slavery
that congress has 10 right to inter
fere with the institution and the
Democratic party would resist all at
tempts to reopen the discussion; that
it would maintain and uphold the prin-
ciples of the Virginia resolution, that
the people of the territories, including
Kansas and Nebraska, have a right to
form a constitution with or without
slavery, and be admitted to the
Union; that the time has come for the
people of the United States to declare
in favor of free seas and progressive
free trade throughout the world that
we should hold sacred the principles
of the Monroe doctrine, and build an
isthmus canal to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific.
The Republican platform affirmed the
doctrine of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and declared, THAT the con-
stitution confers upon congress SOW
ereigI power over the territories of the
United States for their government
and that in the exercise of this power
it is both the right and the impera-
tive duty of congress to prohibit In the
territories those twin relies of bar

was followed by terrible arraignment
of the national administration for the

Made to Catch Votes.

Generally partisan platforms are
made to catch votes, rather than to
express real views, md the genius of
platform architects is exhausted in the
endeavor to so adapt their declara-
tions to the sentiment and self-inter-
est of the intelligent, and the preju-
dice and vanity of the unthinking, as
to win a majority of all. Platforms
are variable and accommodating on
most subjects. In 1850 the Demo-
Gratis demanded the acquisition Of
Cuba by the United States; in 1900
they denounce the government of the
United States for dallying in Cuba in
stead of giving the island self-govern-
ment In 1876 the Democrats denounc-
ed the Republican administration for
not accommodating a surplus to redeem
the greenbacks, and for delaying so
long The promise of redemption printed
on the face of the notes; in 1884 they
denounced the Republicans for having
accumulated a surplus. In 1876 the
Democratic platfrom denounced the
Republicans for hinderinG a return to
specie payments, although the Sher-
man bill providing for such return had
been passed the previous year. In 1909
the Democratic platform denounces
recent Republican legislation looking
to retirement of the greenback cur
rency whereas the platform of rs de-
nounced the failure to retire it. on
the other hand the Republican $Dlat-
form of 1883 declared in favor 'of BIZ
metallsm and denounced the Demo-
Gratis for trying to demonetize silver
although demonetization had -been ef-
fectcd by the Republicans themselves
dozen years before; but the Repubi-
can platform of 1896 declared in favor

tering one industry to the detriment
of another; against interference by
congress with domestic institutions OF

Passed in Review.

The custom of adopting a party plat
form as the textbook of a national
canvass for the presidency was not
inagurated until 1882, when jackson
made his second race. although n con-
vention of the Anti-MasoniC party was
held at Philadelphia III 1880, which
adopted a series of resolutions on the
single idea.
The National Republicans held
convention at Washington in May 1882,
and adopted ii platform of three
planks ID Adequate protection to
American industry; co a uniform sys-
TEN of internal improvements, support
ed by the general government; tO
CharaCtrriZinG as gross abuse of pow

political opinion, and the doctrine ito

enemy" as detrimental to the inter-
ests, corrupting to the morals and
dangerous to the liberties of the Coun-
try.
In March of the same year the Dem
ocratS in convention adopted the two
thirds rule" to apply to the nomina-
tiCn of Van Buren, for vice president
a rule that has been observed ever
since in the nomination of candidates
for president. The platfrom Of that
year was embodied in jackson.

The Whig party, composed of the
Anti -Masons, the National Republi-
cans and some dissatisfied Democrats,
was organized in 1885. and held a ma
tional convention in 1896. The resolu-
tions adopted consisted entirely of de-
nunciation Of Martin Van Buren, and
praise of William Henry Harrison.

MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS
NEW PHYSICIANS ARE PUT IN AS
OFFICERS.
DR.. w. f. Taylor is the New President
Address of Retiring President
Cooper-A Hospital Condemned

New men were put in Saturday even
ing as officers of the Medical Associa-
ton All of them have had experience
in similar organizations in the east and
the best results are to be anticipated
from the elections. OF late the new
physicians have apparently taken more
interest in the Association than the old
err ones.
DR.. c. B. Cooper retired from the
office of president and DIR. w. e. Taylor
was chosen in his place. DR.. II. c..
Sloggett was elected vice-president, and
DR.. A G.. Hodgins became secretary
and treasurer. DR. c. B. Cooper and
DIR. r. p. Myers were appointed mem
bers of the executive committee.
The address of retiring President
Cooper was a leading feature of the
evening. 1t was a general review of
the year with considerable reference
to the plague epidemic. The speaker
directed the attention of the Associa-
ton to the influx of new people and
the probable arrival of the medical
fakir, and though strong measurers
should be taken against the latter. Re
ference was also made to the proposed
new general hospital of DR.. Galbraith.
The remarks of the retiring president
induced discussion farther along and
the consensus of opinion among the
medicos was against the project. This
is what DIR. Cooper said:
1--WE have been appraised by publca-
ton in our daily papers of a project on
foot for cheap medical service, the
plan being to open to the public at
large-anyone paying a small monthly
fee being admitted to the wholesale
benefits as advertised, not even omit
ting assistance from the hospital fund
in the way of funeral expenses. Rail
ways, mining companies and enter
prises of such hazard usually have their
hospital fund for the care of their en-
ployes, but a general association of
this character would be a rank injus-
tice to the large number of physicians
here who are dependent upon the gem
eral public for a livelihood in their
chosen calling. The connection of a
hospital with the society hardly re-
lieves it of it's irregular aspect"
