HUGHES A BATTLING
 POLITICAL FIGURE
Organized Efforts to Upset New York Governors Presidential Chances - Father Knickerbocker's Wssteful Methods Cost Him Millions.

New York. Dec. 2-(Special Cores pondence of The Republican.)-
 Hughes is the most baffling political i figure that ever occupied an important ! position among presidential pOssibili- ties" said a veteran politician this week and this is the conclusion to which the ordinary observer is being ! forced. The New York governor not only has announced that he will not at
 tempt to secure the support of single delegate to the national convention but
 this week he has quietly put an em- bargo on the delegate hunting efforts
 planned by some of his friends. At
 the same time the opposition to him has been fully organized. The trium-
 virate consisting of State Chairman
 Woodruff Congressman Herbert Par
 sons and Speaker of the Assembly
 James w. Wadsworth, Jr, which forms
 the new republican state machine. has
 planned. according to report. to anni
 hilate the governors chances for the
 presidency by blocking the reform
 measures which he will ask the state
 legislature to pass at its approaching session. It is well understood that 
 lican party machinery have constitut- ed themselves the leaders Of the third
 term movement in this state and have
 placed their services at the disposal of the White House. On the other hand the corporate interests. fIghting the governor because of his public service commission bill and other similar leg islation have been putting out feelers for Cortclyou boom. passing the claims of the secretary of the treasury on his measures to relieve the recent money panic. In spite of the strenuous efforts 10 discredit him. however, and the fact that not finger is being lifted to push the governors chances the Hughes movement is making headway in all parts of the country according to the reports that come to both the politicians and the newspapers here. That is why the politicial veteran de- scribed Hughes as q baffling political figure. The accepted traditions of the politicians. Apparently developments are rapidly approaching the point where Hughes is the only man in the country not interested in me hughes boom.
 Father Knickerbocker is q reckless spendthrift. at least that is the latest charge that has been made against the long-suffering old gentleman in knee brooches. As Comptroller Metz and Health Commissioner Darlington are among those who make the charges there may be presumed to be some i truth in them. The comptroller points l out that it costs siO0 000. 900 a year to | run the city or more than the com ! bined expenditures of London. Paris | and Berlin. It requires $72.O00.000 to cover the municipal pay roll alone and much of this is alleged to go for un- necessary salaries. In fact MT. Metz asserts that the positions of one third of the ctN's emnloves could be ahnl-

PATENT Mixers AND
HOW THEY ARE USED

COWS TAKE KINDLY TO THEM, BUT
THEY ARE NO IMPROVEMENT ON
THE OLD FASHIONED HAND MILK
ING SYSTEM.
Prof. A. M Soule, of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, has allowed to
be made fair test of the new fashion
ed milking machines, and be is not
very much pleased with the results.
He reports as follows:
I'VE have tested milking machine
for some time at the experiment sta
tiOn, milking from 35 to 40 COWS for
period of about six months. The cows
took kindly to the machine and gave
down their milk as rule. There were
one or two stubborn cases, however,
due we presume to the peculiar indi-
viduality of the animals more than to
anything else The machine will un-
doubtedly draw all the milk out of the
milk cistern, but whether it will fur
nish as much stimulation to the nerve
cells as is necessary to the we'll bein g
of the. COW cannot be stated definitely
at this time. You realize, of course.
that this is a very important matter.
We believe there is little to choose be
tween hand milking and machine milk
ing. Our experience leads us to believe
that good, competent man will milk
and care for about as many COWS in a
given time as can be milked by the
machine. The machines are also some
what difficult to keep clean. We think
that they will probably be improved
in the near future, and that if one
can secure labor and had competent
man to take charge of the machine, he
could use one advantageOusly, but We
do not think they will prove more eco
Domical than hand milking where sat
| issactory labOrers can be secured. In
our opinion one of the chief drawbacks
to the milking machine is the necessi-
ty of some form of power with which
to operate it, which makes the install
lation quite expensive, and We do not
think the machine will give satisfac-
tory results in the hands of Indifferent
labor.''

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with tue advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines IFS duration; seems to be
between so and so; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters, the

ICES every organ of the body. Guaran.

Weak Kidneys Make Weak Bodies.
COMMON ACHES AND ILLS OF
STAUNTON PEOPLE.

KIDNEY DISEASES CAUSE HALF THE
COMMON ACHES AND ILLS OF
sTAUNToN PEOPLE.
AS one weak link weakens chain,
80 weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down. Overwork, strains, colds and
other causes injure the kidneys. and
when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers from the excess of
uric poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and uri-
nary ills come, and there ia an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kidney
help. Doan's Kidney Pills act direct
ly on the kidneys ard cure every kid
ney ill.

cold settled in my kidneys and from
that time On I suffered great deal
with lame and aching brck l was
unable to get out of bed, could not
turn over without assistance and the

me to try Doan Is Kidney Pills and see
