Some Of the Democrats who ran in
the primary last May are beginning to
get sore because they have never
learned what the officials returns were
AMI do not know that the returns were
ever officially canvassed and the de-
tailed vote tabulated. II reports are
true many of them would like to know
the exact vote each received In the Va
rious counties but do not know how
they can find out unless it be by 60
ing to the expense of writing to each
county chairman or secretary in the
state and depending on his accommo
dat,on to get what is wanted.

IS OUR LANGUAGE CORRUPT
Imaginary Duel in Which Swift ana
 Mercury Figure.

In his article on this question in Har- per's Magazine for December, Professor LCunsbury cites an amusing imaginary dialogue by Beattie in which Swift. Mercury and a bookseller were sup posed to be participants. It shows what were then considered corruptions of the English language
 Swift is disgusted with the express ions used by the tradesman, and begs Mercury to translate his gibberish into English. A few of the words and phrases, then indicated as corruptions. are still strange to us; but most of them are now used every day by those who are in a state of distress because of the impending ruin of the tongue.
 Ut Is both suggestive and instruct i've to learn a little of this new lan- guage, which has just come into fash ion. as Mercury gives Swift to under stand. Instead of life. new, wish for, take, plunge. etc. he told him, you must say existence, novel, desiderate, capture, ingurgitate. etc, as-a fever put an end to his existence. Instead of a new fashion, you will do we'll to say a novel fashion. You must on no account speak of taking the enc my's ships, towns, guns or baggage: 1t
  are told, had been imported about twenty years before. Sort and kind were unfashionable nouns, and indeed quite vulgar; description, on account of it's length and Latin original, was better. Instead of underwriting your enemies you set store by them. Un- friendly and hostile had both given place to inimical. This word is said to have come in at the same time with capture; but though it was a great fla Vorite, it was pronounced differently by those wh Aused it
 There are many words and phrases censured, some of which the majority of us would now think we could hardly get along without. Line, meet, marked feel and go, we are told. were employed whether they had any meaning or not. Instead of saying conduct it was fash ionable to say line of conduct. You meet persons wishes and arguments. You are received with marked ap- plause, or contempt CT admiretion.
 The words am and be were in dan ger of being forgotten, having been crowded out by feel. Accordingly, in stead of using 1t with the following ad- jectives, one says he feels anxious, afraid, warm. sick, ashamed. Instead of saying that ones arguments proved certain things, we must asert that his arguments went to prove. For reform ation, again. everybody was learning to say reform, this latter being a French word, and the other vile old English. Instead of for the future, it had become fashionable to say in fu- ture.'

SURE TO CURE INDIGESTION.
Unless PepsikoIa Cures Your Dys. pepsia Bear Will Pay Back the
 Money.

It is not often that MT. Bear backs up a new remedy with his own per scnal guarantee but he knows that Pepsikola will help all who have chronic dyspepsia and indigestion the very first day they begin to take it.
 Moreover. MT. Bear is too busy T druggist and his reputation is worth too much to take any risk in recom- mending remedy to his customers that will not do just as represented.
 Pepsikola certainly is a remarkable medicine, and it is has performed some cures in Phoenix that border upon the miraculous. It has d wonderfully bracing effect upon the nerves, it gives new strength and new energy, tones up the stomach and digestive organs, and as it also acts upon the liver it makes the eyes brighter and clears up the complexion.
 If you feel run down, weak, nervous and restless at night, or if you have sour stomach wind belching, palpita- ton or any form of stomach trouble Pepsikola will relieve yoT and it is almost sure to increase your weight.
 If it cures you the cost is 25 cents if it doesn't just tell MT. Bear and he will hand back your money right away.

This is the thing you quite frequent ly see in the ball-roOm-a mans black dress-coat literally covered with dan druff
 It must be annoying to the wearer, and certainly not a pleasant thing to observe. But dandruff can be eradi- cated. It is a germ disease that will some day cause badness.
 Newbro's Herpicide kills the hair destroying germ, and stimulates the hair to a rich, abundant growth; it does more-keeps the hair soft and pliant.
 Furthermore Herpicide is a most pleasant toilet accessory: of pleasing odor, and cooling to the scalp.
