SOCIALISTS HEARD FROM.
They Will Hold Seventh District
Convention March 80.


BY far the largest congressional con-
vention to be held in the Seventh dis
trict will be the Sociaiist-that is, il
every county sends its full delegation.
As one delegate can hold proxies for all
the rest of the delegates from his coun-
ty. or for the full delegation from any
other county for that matter, it is prob
able that the actual number OF persons
present viii not be large.
The Socialist convention VIII be held
at Hutchinson on Monday. March 30
Il will be the first convention held NO
primaries or county conventions are
necessary, so the convention can be
held as soon as it is desired
The basis of representation in the con-
vention is one delegate for each vote
cast for Christopher Bishir for congress-
man in the election last fall, provided
that no county shall have less than two
delegates. Several counties cast no
votes at all for the Socialist ticket last
fall, and each of them is given two dele
gates in the congressional convention,
which makes a convention of twenty
two delega tes more than the number Of
Socialist votes cast last fall.
Christopher Bishir of Hutchinson, the
nominee last fall is again a candidate
and will probably be nominated Sedg-

convention and Reno county 127- Sum-

DIR. Miles Nervine Saved
My Life.

There is little Joy in living when the dis
ordered nerves prevent sleep and rest; when
one wakes from q restless night more tired
than the night before; when one Is forced to
drag through the round of daily duties with
out energy, ambition or interest. This con
dition IS due to arrangement of the nerves
which may be speedily regulated and
strengthened by Dr. Miles Restorative
Nervine- This remarkable medicine has q
wonderful record OF cures. Supplying as It
does the exact element needed for the res
toration of the nerve force and vitality, its
good effects are felt after the first few doses.

my family for the past seven years and It IS
not too much to say that they saved my life
The tired feeling used to have after giving
a few music lessons has left me entirely and
instead of lying IN bed three or four hours
trying to get sleep and then getting up and
walking the floor until morning, I can now

hours without any trouble When l think of
my former nervous, wretched, irritable state

shouts OF laughter "All the Comforts OF

plays In which the Albee company has
yet appeared. and the incompatible com
pany OF artists seldom have appeared TO
such great advantage. One OF the most
amusing scenes in the play is that In
which the debonair Alfred Hastings (Mr.

every moment TO be interrupted by the
watchful Mrs. Bender miss ReimerD An
