TRAGEDY OF A LOVING CUP.

William II. Taft has sealed his
doom as a presidential candidate
says the Courier-Journal. Across
5000 miles of sunlit sea and a broad
substantial continent there comes the
news of a terrible scandal in the
Orient Secretary Taft has accepted
a loving cup as a gift from a lawless
body of men known as the Manila
Assembly. He has branded himself
as being infinitely worse than Mr..
Fairbanks, who suffered forty cock
tails to be served, but who never
drank one in his life, and would not
be able to tell the difference between
Manhattan and Martini II he were
compelled to testify under oath.
What, fellow citizens, and mem
bers Of the w. C. 7. u, is a loving
cup? 1t is vessel between the size
of a wash bowl and a gourd, fashion
ed for two-handed drinking, and usu-
ally filled with juleps or punch in
bulk. The drinker seizes 1t by con-
venient handles on each side, elevates
1t above the level of his lips, and
pours a part of a verltable sea of
stimulant down his throat. He pass
es 1t to the inebriate at his elbow and
encourages him to commit a similar
onense against decency and temper
ance. The forty Fairbanks cocktails
could have been poured into a sponge
and the sponge could have been con-
cealed in the average loving cup
without wetting its bottom. II Fair
banks is to be criticised for serving
Taft should be excoriated

luence of a seductive atmosphere that
aused William II. Taft to fall, but,

BACK TO THE FARM.

| While New York is torn with dis
tress over the money situation, the
rest of the country is Sitting tight"
watching her agonies, feeling secure
from infection, at least for the pres
ent. Such a condition has not ex-
listed in America, perhaps ever, be-
fore. The country is rich. The far
mer is well to do. II the era of pros
perity continues unabated another
decade, We may expect some sur
prises in the census of 1920.
The census OF 1900 showed phe-
nomenal gains in population in the
great centers. Cities doubled In pop
ulation. Immigrants flocked to them,
and boys from the small towns were
lirresistibly drawn thither.
The next census should show great
gains in smaller centers of population
along with the steady development of
the larger cities. The prosperity and
development is now country wide in
its full strength. .
But it has been only the last two
the blessings OF the American Sys-
TEN. The country banks show big
dividends and wonderful deposits.
Every staple crop is enhanced In
value. The farm is calling as 1t has
not called in century. A movement,
like unto that which made of Ken
lucky a state and populated the
northwest territory in a few years,
has set in toward the southwest.
The growth OF the cities and the
increase of the non-producing popula,
tion has made demands for foodstuff
that are taxing the resources of the
|unprepared agrlculturalists.
The farmer raises his crops. har-
vests them, sells them at profit, and
has his land left on which to raise
another crop. Properly hnsbanded,
his resources are never falling. His
credit Is with nature. II his crops
fail one year. he has his farm.
With rural deliveries of mail, trac-
tion lines and modern conveniences
adaptable to rural homes, the farmer
lacks none of the comforts of life.
His food is fresh and clean; he lives
in pure atmosphere; he is free from
the strife and competition and NOR
ally degenerating influences OF city
environment. Why should laboring
man struggle for an existence in the
snobbish social atmosphere OF a city.
when he can go to the country and
be independent and happy?
The country is calling for farmers
educated farmers, who know the
soil and the rotation OF crops, can
estimate profits and have thoughts
of their own. The government and
the country generally are co-operat-
ing in plans to attract immigrants
away from cities to the rural COM
munities. The tide that has flowed
to the big cities will surely ebb to-
ward the prairies. and 1t will be bet
ter for US all, even those who don't
go.

The new theory advanced by l.. T.
Cooper relative TO the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians In a dis
cussion OF his beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
Is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without first
'alleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and wo-
men OF this generation are half-slck.
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 90 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another. conducting in
each what he calls a campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities of
the country. and his success has been
phenomenal Thousands OF people
have fiocked to his headquarters
wherever he has gone, and the sale
Of his medicine has been beyond any
thing OF the kind ever before Wit
messed.
Possibly the most Interesting fea-
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army Of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol-
lowing statements are from two well
known residents OF Chicago and Bos-
ton. respectively, and the enthusiasm
of these is Characteristic OF Cooper's
admirers generally.

INVESTIGATE OsTEOPATHY.
it Is New Diagnosis, New Cure,
Aptly Called "The sane Treat
ment of Disease"

Osteopathy is a method of blood
less surgical manipulations to remove
any distractions interfering with the
proper transference Of nerve force
or the natural flow Of the blood, or
the other fluids. to the organ, or part
involved.
lt liberates the inherent vita, forces
OF the body-the forces which, when
allowed their full and unobstructed
sway, have the power to gain and
maintain state of physiological
equilibrium or health. In other
words, allow nature to effect her own
cures by a natural adjustment Of
any disorder in the system.
The power to heal is innate and In
herent, and cannot be introduced
from without, and Osteopathy cures
by assisting and bringing into action
that power. The taking of drugs
does not add anything useful to the
body-on the contrary, the effects are
largely manifestations of the efforts
on the part of Nature to eject and
rid Itself OF the drugs, while the loss
Of energy following is nothing but the
further robbing of an already low
cred vitality. A,t

ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP.
Proven by Records Now on Display al
IL. W. Walker a. Co.'S Store.

The old theory that skin disease
was caused by bad blood or a disor-
dered internal system has been prov
en- false one. II is now well known
among up-to-date skin specialists
that skin disease is caused by a germ
in the skin and that this germ must
be killed by local treatment.
IR. w. Walker & Co., druggists, at
Fifth and Broadway, have in their
possession hundreds of letters from
persons from suffering from &c
zema, psoriasis, salt rheum, and 9TH
er diseases of the skin. They also have
pictures of men. women and children
showing the skin diseased, cracked
and bleeding. while a few months la
ter it is clean, soft and smooth with
every trace of the disease wiped out.
All these cures were made by local
external application of ID. ID. ID. Pre-
scription, a remedy that instantly
stops all itch and quickly kills the
disease germ, effecting a permanent
positive cure.
Here is a simple letter from ]. Dali
ton, Wilderness. Mo-: 81 have used

and am now a we'll man. Please ac-
,ept my heartfelt thanks. Your rem
sdy cannot be praised to) much"
Every sufferer of skin disease can
zee such letters by calling at the r.
W. Walker & Co. drug store, and also
secure without charge a book on the
'ause and cure of skin diseases.

Judge Lassing was one OF Governor
Beckham's personal and political
friends, who had become frightened at
the governors seeming enmity to the
whisky interests. and wrote to Gen
eral Haly. warning him Of the danger
OF going too far In that direction.
Whereupon General Haly, to assure
Judge Lassing that there was no dan
