OHIO.

Columbus. O. Nov. Revised re.
turns show that the republicans
gained almost everywhere except at
Columbus, where disaffection over
some of GOV. Nash's appointments
and local option" caused great dem
ocratic gains and in Cleveland. where
fractional fighting and Mayor Tom L.
Johnson'S crusade on taxation pre-
dominated. Wherever local option
was made a distinct issue. as in
Franklin county. the home of the au-
thor of the old CLARK local option
bill, the liquor men won.
Vt democratic state headquarters
no further statements are being
given. Chairman Dick was at repub-
lican state headquarters early, pre-
pairing another statement. Mean
while. the causes of the tidal wave
was discussed among democrats as
well as republicans. Tuesday night it
was said many free silver democrats
did not vote. but the free silver dem
ocrats resent this charge and say
that kilbourne WAS one af the origi-
nal free silver men. He is still one
of the most ardent admirers of BrX-
an.
While various causes for the result
are mentioned by the democrats. in
Guiding the superior organization of
the republicans, the republican lead
ers say their success was mostly due
to the Endorsement OF President
Roosevelt, Senator Foraker ard GOV.
Nash, and the desire to perpetuate
the principles that were promulgated
by Mckinley When he became gov
erner ten years ago. And they in
elude Senator Hanna's appeal to Let
well enough along" and not disturb
the prevailing prosperity rs also a po-
tential factor

TREATMENT OF SPRAIN.
How simple Cases May BE Success
fully Handled by the Home
Physician.

An injury resulting from any vio-
lent wrenching or twisting of Joint
without q fracture of bone is termed
sprain.
The term covers a very great va
riety of injuries, as well as very va
rious degrees of injuries, of a joint.
Thus the ligaments, which stretch
from one bone TO another, holding
them together and binding them in
place, may be merely stretched or ac-
tually torn. The bad reputation which
sprain has acquired, and which il
even worse than that of broken
bone. is due to the fact that the in
jury involves these guy-ropes of the
anatomy which heal but slowly and
often inperfectly, says Youths Com
panion.
The lesser degrees of sprain are Of
course the most common, an mad
yertent leap from or upon a moving
car being often sufficient to occasion
them. Spraius are sometimes acquired
in the course of outdoor sports. and
often by workmen whose occupations
bring them in intimate contact with
heavy moving bodies or machinery.
Baseball furnishes many, perhaps
most, of the fnger-spralNs in the
United States.
Many of the lesser sprains are
treated at home without the SUPER
vision of a physician. as are likewise
not few of severer degree in The
woods and in other places where the
services of a physician are not to be
obtained
Immediate attention is an impera-
tive necessity in sprains, since in no
injury do swelling and pain more
promptly supervene. This marked and
rapid swelling following a sprain is
usually occasioned by the oxidation
Of fluids. taking place not only around
the injured joint, but also within the
joint, the latter frequently to so great
an extent as to force the two art.cu-
Iating surfaces apart

STRONG PROOFS
Offered to Show the Merits of Coke
Dandruf Cure and
Hair Tonic.
We Publish in This Article What Raleigh
People and Others for the
Great Preparation.

Whenever the people render a verdict
it must under all circumstances be final.
So, in the test now being made of
Coke Dandruff Cure and Hair Tonic for
the cure of Dandruif and all scalp and
hair troubles, whatever the popular ver-
dict in this case be it must stand un-
changed.
In Raleigh alone there are hundreds of
people who believe from their own ex-
perience that Coke )andruff Cure and
Hair Tonic is indeed a grand remedy for
the scalp and hair, having themselves
been cured by using it.
Judging from our enormous sales, we
cannot but believe Coke Dandruff Cure
has genuine merit. AS far as we have
heard, too, it sells everywhere as it does
in Raleigh. Our recent purchases of this
preparation have amounted to one hun
dred bottles certainly an unusual amount
to be sold by any retail drug store.
