What to do Until the Doctor Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An Al
bany On. y dairyman called at drug
store there for a doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in. he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz.
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlains Cough Remedy to their
neighbOrs and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
Of the country. For sale by Jno.

The Tickets in The Field.


Lest it should be forgotten, it is well
to call attention to the important fact
tial tickets in the field. To be sure,
there are several others yet to be
named and at this time it seems prob
able that the nominees of the Phila-
delphia and Kansas City conventions
will be before the people rather more
prominently than the others. Yet the
three already in the field are not to be
overlooked. They are already scoring
for positions up by the turn, and the
conteet for last place will be lively be-
tween them. AS a sample OF the fool
isb and dangerous elements in Amer
loan notifies, they are worthy of at
least a passing notice. 1t is probable
that they will be joined by two or
three others Of the same kind by mid
summer.
The Mddle-of the Road Populists,
the Socialist Labor and the Socialistic
Democratic are the three parties"
which have named their candidates.
These honored statesmen are as fol-
lows.
NiddIe-of- the Road Populst party
For president, Wharton Barker, of
Pennsylvania: for vice-president, Ig-
natius Donnelly. of Minnesota.
I ahn nj " ont
job Hartman, of California; for vice
president. Max S. Hayes, of Ohio.
Socialist Democratic party - For
president. Eugene V. Debs. of Indiana:
for vice-president, Job Hartman. of
California.
The Populists adopted the early bird
tactics and put their ticket in the
field, fully year ago. 1t is a strong
ticket. though its strength is of pc
culiar quality. The other PopuIists
will present their standing nominee,
William J. Bryan, who will be en-
dorsed by the Democrats at Kansas
City. The Socialist Labor and the So
cialistic Democratic conventions have
heen held within few weeks. ANA the
latter has COMPOUNDED confusion by
taking as its presidential candi-
date the formers candidate for presi-
dent. This leaves out Mr. Hayes. but
it really doesn't matter.
This Socialistic Democratic party is
a strange political mOnstrosity, and its
platform is wonderful creation. 1t
demands an amendment to the consti-
tuition so as to permit all people to
participate in the government without
regard to sex; demands the public
ownership of all industries controlled
by trusts or monopolies, of all rail
roads. telephones and telegraph, and of
all mines and all gas wells; demands
the inauguration Of a system Of public
works to furnish labor to those now
unemployed: declares that all inven-
lions should be free, the inventors to
be remunerated by the government;
insists that all labor legislation shall
be- National instead of state; demands
that the National government shall in
sure the workingmen against accident:
demands the abolition of all laws dis
eliminating against women: and dc
clares for the abolition Of war. This
is an even more extraordinary declara-
ton of principles than that which was
1926 which will be reaftirmed at Kan
sas City. July 4.

Either there is newspaper consp!-
racy against Bishop Goldman. or else
he is extremely unfortunate in his
public utteranccs. He has way Of
keeping his friends busy explaining
and apologizing for his remarks which
may get tiresome for them if he keeps
on as he has begun. AS a new broom
1t is not surprising that he should stir
up little dust. however. and it is prob
able that the atmosphere will soon
clear when Maine gets used to him and
he gets acquainted with Maine. 1t seems
incredible that man of bishoplike
callber, should have so little worldly
wisdom as to speak of Maine and the
rehsion of its people as he is reported
to have done.

The Ideal in Domestic Service.

As happy as they are few are the
homes like that one in Brooklyn, n. Y.
where there was recently celebrated
in a most elaborate manner, the 50th
anniversary of an aged servants en-
try into the service of her employer.
In these days when the servant qucs-
tion is most perplcXinG problem in
almost every household, such an oc-
casion is most pleasing to contemplate.
Tho day was celebrated with holiday
spirit ana cheer. The venerable woman
was the guest Of honor and sitting in
the grand drawing Groom. she received
the gifts and salutations Of four gen
"rations Of the family she had served
with faithful devotion. Think Of that
picture. We poor housewives, who spend
Gaging incompetent girls, ana ye poor
servants who are driven from one kit
chen to another by unreasonable and
unapprcciative mistresses.
We fear that the Brooklyn instance
is rare one. for the kindly relations
which make possible half century o.
intimate association as master anG
servant are all too uncommon in tho
modern American home. In the goot
old days in the South, "befo' de war
such things were very frequent ant
resulted in the comfort ana happines:
of many faithful old slaves and many
home. But slavery had too many
