so EASY TO FORGET

In 999 cases out of every thousand,
the directions which accompany
physicians prescription or proprietary
medicine, tell you to take dose three
or four times day, either before or
after meals, and on going to bed. In
999 cases out Of a thousand, this rule
is never strictly followed. You start
in to observe it religiously, and sue
coed pretty we'll at first, but soon
you'll begin to skip doses, then the
medicine fails in it's intended effect.
It's so easy to forget.
IF the remedy is in liquid form, the
business man loses a dose in the mid,
die of the day unless some thoughtful
wife, mother or sister gives him a
spoon and makes him take an extra
bottle to the office. Most men hate to
do this. If the medicine is in tablet
form, the chances are he will never
think of it until he reaches for car
fare on his way home. It's SO easy to
forget. This applies to men and
women alike.
The proprietors of Verna1 Palmet-;
tona formerly known as Vernal Saw
Palmetto Berry Wine) had sense and
foresight enough to make their rene
dy so that only one dose a day is nee
essary. 1t is easy to remember to take
it after the last meal or on going to
bed. 1t stands in a class by itself. If
you are pestered with Indigestion, con-
,SIlpdIlOIl, l1VeI tIOuDlS, DOWele Trouble,
or any skin affliction resulting from
bad blood, Vernal Palmettona is what
you need. Try it, at our expense.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. .s5s,f;l
Washington, Jan. 6.-There; was a
lively talk on the floor of the house of
representatives the other day about
rural free delivery routes, and the
charge was made by Representative
Maddox of Georgia, who precipitated
the debate, that there had been rank
discrimination on the part Of the post
office department, as a result of which
the southern states were being neg
lected in rural free delivery matters,
and routes punched in the republican
states Of the north. The debate was
INDUCED in by number of republl-
cans, who undertook, but without en-
tire success, to reply to Mr.. Maddox
The fact is as he states it, that there
has been a punching of these routes in
the northern states; but that the post
office department has done this with
view to discrimination, of course, is
another question. If it has, the blame
rests with A. w. Machen, late super
intendent of rural free delivery, with
whom a number of northern repub-
|lican congressman were supposed to
have had political pull" Since
Machen's time this discrimination has
ceased.
At the end of the last fiscal year
there were 1919 rural routes in all
the country, of which more than one
third were located in four states
Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, Iowa
leading in point Of numbers. These
states, with Michigan, Wisconsin and
Kansas, seven in all, have nearly one
half of the total number of rural
routes, and yet have only 100000
Of the total population. It is note
| worthy tn at tha LIST of states inst given
does not include New York or Penn
sylvania. Machen's home is in In
diana and he has had business deal
| ings in Michigan, Illinois and Iowa.
OF course, density of population has
much to do with the location of rural
routes, and this, on the surface, may
have controlled the postoffice depart
ment, or Machen, to a considerable
degree in ordering them. At the same
time, however, it is rather interesting
to observe that two states, Iowa and
Indiana, have more rural routes than

STATE PROPERTY 4.
II. =: WELL INSURED
MINNESOTA DOES NOT FOLLOW
SAME POLICY AS IOWA. -
Cost Is Only $4,000 for Three Years
-IOwa's Recent Losses Would Have
Paid Premiums for Sixty Years.

"It is not good business policy, for
q. state to insure it's own buildings
said S. w. Leavett of the state board
of control this morning. discussing the
heavy loss on 1owa's state capitol, on
which no insurance is carried. while
Minnesota has been fortunate, we can
never tell when a disastrous fire may
come, and the expense of insurance
is really light. Policies Of the value
Of SO, 100000 cover all the state prop
erty except the new capitol and the
Soldiers home. They cost 1 per cent

tanned in the last two or three years

the twelve states making up the So
called solid SOUTH
Iowa and Indiana Routes.

Iowa and Indiana have eighteen
county routes, while the twelve south
ern states referred to have but four
teen, of which seven are located in
one congressional district, represented
by a republican. Eight of these south
ern county routes are in Tennessee,
and seven of the eight are in the con-
gressional district represented by Mr..
Brownlow, a republican.
The foregoing statements seem to
make good, to a.. certain extent, the
| charge made by Mr.. Maddox that
there has been an apparentsneglect of
the south and a corresponding partial
| ity shown the north, particularly those
states of the Mississippi and, Ohio val
| leys. Whether this has been inten-
tional on the~part Of the postoffice de-
i partment as a whole; whether it was
| compelled by the relative density OF
| population, or whether Machen is
| wholly to blame, is not shown in the
| debate which Mr.. Maddox called out
| in the house. ~

status Of the rural free delivery sit
uation by states up to the close OF
the last fiscal year:

NYE IS SIMPLY THINKING
AS YET He HAS NOT ANNOUNCED
HIMSELF AS A. CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS.

Run1or has been busy lately with
the name of Frank M. Nye, and it was
reported to-day that he had decided to
become a candidate for congress. Mr..
Nye denies the report. He admits
that he has the subject under con-
sideration, but he is not in any hurry
to decide it, and he will not do so for
some time. Considerable pressure has
been brought to get him into the race.
Loren Fletcher has told his friends
that he will ask for another nor1ina-
ton. 1t seems certain that he will
have opposition at the primaries, but
all the possibilities are holding back.
No one wants to enter three COR
nered fight, and all the other republic
cans who are thinking of becoming
candidates are waiting developments
The desire is to unite all the republi-
cans who are opposed to Mr.. Fletcher,
or some other candidate.

BIG.DRoP IN COTTON
Caused by Worse Turn in War News and
HEAVY Liquidation.

New York, Jan. Grading in cotton
was less active to-day and prices showed
reactionary tendency after the sharp ad-
vances Of yesterday. This was chiefly due
to disappointing cables and considerable
selling here for Liverpool account as well
as for the account Of profit-taking longs.
BY the end of the first half-hour Of trad
ing the market was about 10 to % points
net lower and showed considerable sta
bility around that level.
During the forenoon the market broke
badly following a turn for the worse in
far eastern war news, accompanied by
heavy liquidation. Prices were soon driver
down to 1890 for March, 13.43cs for May
and 1896 for July, these being net losses
of SO to 40 points.
Later the market rallied about 10 to II
points from the bottom on bull suppor1
and covering while there was also some
outside buying as a result of smaller re-
ceipts.
