The Race for County Treasurer.

Mr.. Thos. w. Keenan,, who led
in the race for county treasurer,
informed the editor of The Leader
in conversation ON yesterday, that
he had withdrawn from the contest
and would not enter the second
primary with Mr.. Wade L. Sum-
mers, his opponent receiving the
next highest vote. He stated fur
Their that he would publish a for
NAL withdrawal during the week.
The Leader has learned from
other sources that there is much
indignation among Mr.. Keenan's
personal friends and many of his
former supporters at the turn
things have taken, and a number
of them are going so far as to
threaten to bring out an opposi-
ton candidate at the regular cleo
ton in retaliation.
According to the current re-
ports, repeated by several who
were heard discussing the subject,
Mr.. Keenan, was given a strong
backing, financial and otherwise,
by officers of the Commercial
Bank, before the first primary and
was regarded as the Banks candi-
date for the treasurer's Office. At
that time it was expected he
would lead all his opponents and
60 into the second primary with
some other than Mr.. Summers.
When the returns showed that he
would have to enter the second
primary with Mr.. Summers and he
conferred with the Bank people
about their further support and
assistance, he was told that under
the new phase of the situation,
they were going to hands off the
treasurer's contest for the rest of
the lace and let both candidates
paddle their own canoe. When
he fully realized that he was up
against a man in the second pri-
mary with a pair of crutches and
that his former chief financial
hackers we're going to play neu
trail and give him no further sup
port, Mr.. Keenan,, so the story
goes, decided to throw up the
sponge.

Mr.. Meter, ST., returned Mon
day from Lexington, Mo-, where
he has been visiting three weeks
past, the main object of his visit
being a family reunion. Sixty
years ago, Mr.. Meter, two broth
ers and one sister were left or
phans, and the small circle has
remained unbroken through all
this changeful period. After a
separation Of ffty-three years,
Mr.. Meter again met one OF the
brothers he had not seen for that
length of time; and they parted
once again, all four in the shade
of the allotted time Of man,
knowing full well that another
such reunion can hardly be held
this side the Great Divide.

of malaria. A disposition to yawn, and
an all tired out feeling even comes be-

the malaria germs out of the system,

so his friends confidently expect
to see him out again soon.

MOTHERS FRIEND

makes childbirth easy by preparing the
system for parturition and thus shortening
labor. The painful ordeal is robbed of its
terrors, and the danger lessened to both
mother and child; the time of confinement
is shortened, the mother rested, and child
fully developed, strong and healthy.
Morning sickness, or nausea arising
from pregnancy, is prevented by its use.
As pregnancy advances, the breasts en-
large, become swollen and hard. Long
before the child is born, they are prepar-
ing for the secretion of milk. 1t is import
ant that they receive early attention.
Mothers Friend softens the skin and
facilitates the secretion Of Life Fluid.
Undeve1oped breasts, hard-caked shortly
after delivery, are the result of non
treatment, and likely to eliminate in
Mammary Abscess, from which so many
suffer excruciating pain and are left with
these organs permanently impaired.
Softness, piiability and expansion are given to
the muscles and sinews, thus bringing comfort
and causing an easy issue Of the child. Try 1t.

THE COOKBOOK.

Peeled, chopped tomato sprinkled
over lettuce, the whole covered with
French dressing, makes Russian
salad
To steam potatoes peel them and
when very clean put them in a colan-
der over boiling water. Cover tightly
with lid and leave them until done
Tarragon leaves are most useful in
salad and should be scalded. squeezed
in a towel and chopped fine. This herb
gives a zest to the salad that is always
appreciated.
When making beef tea, never add
the salt till the meat has been cooking
for several hours. Salt acts upon the
fiber and prevents it giving out all its
nourishing properties.
A steak one inch thick requires to be
brOiled seven minutes: one inch and 4
half, twelve minutes; two inches
twenty minutes, near the fire at first
and then four inches away.
A substitute for caper sauce is made
by boiling some sprigs of parsley slow
ly to let it become a bad color. Do not
chop it fine. Set it in melted butter
season with salt and IA dessertspoonfu
of vinegar, boil up and serve.
