The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-12-19

A GLANCE AT the columns of the
local papers ought to convince
anyone that it will' not be neces-
sary to go out of town this year to
purchase Christmas presents. Our
home merchants never carried a
more attractive holiday stock than
this season. All of the merchants
have made an extra effort this year
and have marked their goods at
the lowest possible price consistent
with good business, prices that
should prove especially attractive
to shoppers. Many of the stores
are running special low price sales
on certain lines which will contin-
lie until after Christmas. This is
not an advertisement 1t is simply
a statement of facts as they exist,
the truth of which may easily be
corroborated by n visit to the
many good stores of the town.
The different lines embrace every
thing the most fastidious shopper
could suggest and include every
thing from toys for the children to
the more substantial gifts for the
older ones. OF course, if you put
off your shopping until the elev-
enth hour, you will not be so well
pleased, as the assortments will be
broken and the best of the stock
sold. But even then you will do
just as we'll at home as elsewhere,
as the same conditions will exist
everywhere during the last hours
before Christmas. By doing your
holiday shopping early you will be
better suited and consequently en-
joy your Christmas much more.

end of, some of our statesmen and
lawmakers before the proprlety
can be seen of reducing parties to
their proper and necessary place
in public life--to make them vehi-
cles for the presentation of great
principles instead of the corrupt
agencies to secure and dispense
official place and plumber.

The Happy Christmas
Season.

One is not ashamed of simple
thing at this season. 1t is not
unmanly or unwomanly to enter
into the delights and longings of
a child's life. Should one in the
course of service, find through the
commingling JOY and grief of
young experiences, lump in the
throat, it is token Of Divine
monitions. 1t will quicken the
step, and often the heart and open
the purse to link the child as we'll

which the whole creation moves. /"

DENVER WAS selected by the
Democratic national convention as
the place for holding the next ma
tional convention of the party,
and July Z was fixed as the date.
After due consideration it was de-
cided to follow the long establish
ed precedent and hold the conven-
ton after, instead of before, the
Republican convention. This will
enable the Democratic delegates
to take advantage of any mistakes
made by the Republican ones and
to insure a stronger ticket and u
better platform.
A general spirit of hopefulness
pervaded the members of the
Democratic national committee
meeting, and the belief was
universally expressed that their
party would score national
victory next year, Certainly this
was well grounded. The policies
advocated by the party are more
popular to-day than ever and are
constantly numbering new adher-
ents. Its opponents have paid high
tribute to some of these policies
by adopting them in whole or in
part, or recognizing their correct
ness but failing to put them into
effect
Many Republicans who have
come to believe in the chief
policies of the Democratic party
are dissatisfied with the action
taken by their own leaders, and
will next year be found voting the
Democratic ticket. The number
of strong candidates already
mentioned for the Democratic
nomination for President assures
a popular ticket. The plight in
which the financial legislation of
the Republican party has plunged
the country will also work for
Democra tic success.

When the 10 O'Clock car was
making it's way into town, Tues
day evening and while running be-
tween the Hooking Valley and b.
& o. depots, it was so suddenly
stopped that the passengers were
thrown out of their seats. The
motorman by the use of all his
strength had saved young mans
life. Had the car gone three feet
farther he would have been dan
gerously injured if not instantly
killed. The man was lying upon
his back with his hands out
stretched and at first the motor
man thought he was dead and so
he was-dead drunk. He only
carried four bottles, two quarts
and two pints, all filed with good,
red ticker. How much he had
aboard can only be surmised, but
twas plenty. They picked him
up and tried to stand him up
against a box ear on the adjoining
track, but his legs wouldn't hold
him. At the wise suggestion of q
passenger he was loaded upon the
car and brought 20 town and

Ar THE SESSION of the Ohio Leg
islature next month bill for uni
form primaries will be presented
and backed by formidable array
Of independent and election reform
sentiment. This bill will direct
that all nominations for municipal, T.,
county and State offices shall be
by direct vote of the people, and
on the same day; that the right of
nomination by petition and subse-
quently shall be reserved, but to
individuals rather than to political
organizations. Further, an at.
tempt will be made to have all
municipal nominations made on a
non-partisan basis. The men be-
hind this movement want the State
to pay all the expenses of such
primaries.
This proposed measure is sort
of reputation of the White House
suggestion that party expenses be
paid by the Government. 1t rec
ognizes the grounds for the recon-
mendation by relieving party or
ganizations of the burden of con-
Quoting the primaries. But this
necessary ballot reform will never
be secured until the polling places
are filled by men selected, as they
should be for any other clerical
and judicial post, on the grounds
of residence and fitness. The pro-
ject to hold the primaries all on
one day saves the State some ex-
pense, and prevents an unscrupu-
lous man from voting, as he often
may do now, at the primaries of
each party. 1t will be necessary
no doubt to make over, or make an

SAVE THE CHILD
Stronger Men and Healthier
Women Needed.

These happy children will be men
aud women in Just a few more years
Will they be happy then? Not unless
they are healthy, aud they can only be
healthy then by keeping them
healthy now.
1t is mistake to think that children
do not have indigestion. 1t is a sad
mistake to neglect the health of their
little stomachs. Their health and
strength in after years, as we'll as their
growth and developement at the
present time, is entirely dependent
upon healthy condition of the stom-
aeh, and normal activity of their
digestive organs. Ninety-nine of
every one hundred diseases that
children have are due to disorders of
the stomach, and these disorders are
all caused by indigestion.
How often have you seen a babe
belch up sour milk? How often have
you heard them complain of the stom-
sch ache? Nothing but indigestion
causes it. They eat at all hours in the
day, and all kinds of food, and its a
wonder they live at all.
We can recommend to you the fol-
lowing formula: Tr. Cinchona Com
pound, % OF; Kastor Compound, 1 OF;
Fluid Extract of Cascara Aromatic. 1
OF.
1t is as good for children as it is for
old folk. They thrive on it. It keeps
their little stomachs sweet and encour-
ages their growth and developement.
Have this formula prepared at your
nearest Drug Store.
