HAYES AND FOLK
Meetings at Columbia, Ne
vada and Lamar.

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Harry
HAYES of st. Louis delivered an
address this afternoon in the
Boone county court house. He was
introduced by Walter w illiams.
and spoke for two hours defining
his position in the gubernatoriaI
race and attacking the candidacy
of Attorney Folk. He devoted
quite little time to a discussion
OF the Doodle Investigations aud
said that Folk had taken credit for
exposures which were made by
others. The Halves party, includ-
ing Mrs. Halves and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hiram Phillips, arrived in Colum-
bia from Centralia early this morn
ing and spent the day receiving
visitors and making calls. To-
night a banquet will be given at
the Gordon hotol in honor of Mr..
Halves, at which a number of local
Democrats will be present. Mr..
Halves campaign in Boone county
is managed by Hiram Phillips, for
merly of Boone county, who is
president Of the board of public
improvements in st. Louis.
a feature of the banquet at Cor
don hotel in honor of Harry HAYES
tonight was the refusal of sew
eral Democrats of Columbia to at
tend the banquet. Several who
received invitations could not see
their way to accept. The banquet,
although the most elaborate of any
given to any candidate here this
year, was rather lightly attended,
and not until late this afteru Don
was the requisite number, twenty
five, accepted invitations to attend.

Turner Of Columbia and nephew

The following we take from the
Vandalia Leaders
A.C. Sox has lost a lot of sheep
and cattle from an unknown dis
case. The stock commenced dy-
ing several weeks ago and up to
Saturday he had lost % sheep and
five head of cattle.
Inst week Mr. Sox telephoned
for State Veterinarian Luckie at
Columbia aud that gentleman ar
rived Saturday. He was driven
out to Mr.. Sox's place aud took a
look at the sheep. The disease,
which he was unable to name, he
said had been among the stock Of
the State for the past year and
many deaths had occurred from it..
1t is Il disease of the stomach. One
of the sheep was killed and the
stomach examined. Many worms
were found there which were visible
to the naked eye and under the
magnifying glass looked as large
as fishing worms. These worms
cause scours and finally cause the
death of the animal 1t affects
both cattle aud sheep alike. The
remedy DR.. Luckie suggested was
a th0ro cleansing with salt and
then dose of gasoline.
DR.. Luckie took home with him
the stomach of one of the sheep.

Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by

The literature OF medicine goes to
prove conclusively that a duration of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which it entails
Any factor, therefore, in their causatiol

that Eyestrain is a frequent cause Of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to he the correct one beyond the posi-
bility Of doubt or cavil, 1t is not diff
cult to see that hope of marked relief

benefit.
