Startling But True.

People the world over were horrllie1
on learning of the burning OF a Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, ye! more than
five times this number or over 3,OOO
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. ETery one OF these
cases of pneumonia resulted from cold
and could have been prevented by the
timely use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use of this remedy.
The following is an instance of this sort !:
''Too much cannot be said in favor OF
Chanberlain's Cough Remedy, aud es'
pecially for colds and influenza. / know
that it cured my daughter, Laura, OF a
severe cold and believe saved her life
when she was threatened with pneu-
monia," w. ID. WILCOX, Logan, New

A professional runner gives the fol-
lowing suggestions for exercise: Rise
at $3.50 a. m. Put on old clothing, easy
shoes and sweater. Time for dress
ing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth of
mile; time, five minutes. Then run
mile at dog .trot in eight minutes,
arranging your circuit of Il mile and
quarter so that you will finish at
your door thirteen minutes after start
ing. That exercise will expand your
lungs and stimulate your heart action
and land you at your doorstep at GAS

exhausted and perspiring at every pore.
You are then ready for your bath and
shave and breakfast and for the nat
ural routine of the day. The man of
sedentary habits who patiently pur-
sues this exercise may kiss all drugs
goodby.

How He Learned English.

Carl Schurz once told a friend some
thing of his early struggles with the
English language. He knew it about
as American college boys know their
German-that is to say, barely at all.
One day, deciding such nonsense must
end" he entered bookstore and asked
for the classic Of the English language.
A wise clerk gave him 'The Vicar of
wakefield" He carefully translated 1t
Into German and put his work away
for six weeks. At the end of that time
he translated his translation back into
English and then made searching
comparison between his version and
that Of Goldsmth's original. After
that" he said, 81 knew English"

CAMP PAIGN
Many Candidates Will ASK
For Support at Coming
Primary Election

L nS dppAOdSulhS iiuuAtApdA yam
paign promises Co be a lively one.
Many candidates will ask for the
support of the people. The Office of
mayor, marshal, recorder and treas
urer are to be filled. and there will
be one alderman from each of the
seven wards of the city elected.
The primary election will be held
Saturday, November Sd, beginning
at IL O'Clock and continuing until Z
O'Clock. The election will be held
Monday, December Sd.
1t is not known just what shape
the political situation will take. AS
Salem is strong Republican city, it
is likely that full city ticket will
be nominated by that party. 1t is
not thought probable that the DEM
ocrats will put up a full ticket, but
will, instead, form a coalition with
certain disgruntled elements of the
Republicans, and the odds and ends
of other parties.
The registration books are now
open at the city hall, and will re-
main open until the primary cleo
tion. 1t is an open question whether
all voters who wish to take part in
the primary shall register. The law
is silent regarding the matter. 1t is
not believed that a very large num-
ber of the voters will register, and
endless confusion and trouble is ex-
pected to follow. Whatever the law
may be decided to be all voters
should register in order to be on the
safe side.
All officers elected this fall are
for a term of two years.
It is understood that the retiring
mayor, F. w. Waters. will not be
candidate for reelection. c. L. Nc
Nary and Judge w. c. Hubbard
have been spoken of as candidates
for this office.
The most lively contest will be for
the Office of marshal. The present
incumbent. Tom Cornelius, is not a
candidate. He says he would not
accept the place II 1t were rendered
him on a silver platter.
d. w. Gibson, John knight. J. ].
Longcor and w. w. Johnson are
avowed candidates. The name of
Mel Hamilton has been mentioned
as a candidate. but it has been said
that Mr.. Hamilton will not run If
Mr. Gibson is candidate, as he does
not desire to antagonize him In any
way.
w. A. Moores, the present record
er, will be a candidate for re-eleo-
