"It is unprecedented that a
summer exceeds any winter. In

'It has, however, been painful
ly evident that not in fourteen

Ohio's Leading Citizen.

In 1889 Hon. James E Camp
bell led the Democracy of Ohio to
victory in one of the INST sensa- |
tional campaigns in the history of
the state. At that time he was
the Democratic cand date for Gov
srnor. For three terms he had
been Democratic congressman from
the old Third district. Three
times he carried district that was
normally Republican by hand
some plurality. For three terms
he maintained the prestige of
district that had once been repre-
sented by Tom Corwin, Lewis ID
Campbell, Clement L. Valandigham
and JOIN. A. Mcmahon, His
whirlwind campaign against Gov,
Foraker in 1889 Is historic. Peer.
less as campaigner, he is today
one of tie best loved citizens Of
this great old state. Courageous,
kind and gallant, he is the Cheva
lier Bayard of Ohio politics Able,
generous and courteous, he is one
of the Jewels in the diadem of this
imperial commonwealth. He i.
the logical successor of long line
of the able and brilliant men who
have added lustrs to the state
His place is in the senate and the
people of Ohio seem to be well
aware of the fl ct. Both partisan
and non. partisan expressions from
all over Ohio indicate the election
of legislature that will elect Gov
Campbell to the United States
Senate.

LIVE CATTLE IMPORTS.
Premier Asquith Gives Hopes That
< Embargo Will Be Raised.

London, July 17.-Premier Asquith
received a deputation of representa-
tives of the meat trade, who asked the
government to remove the embargo on
live cattle from Scandinavia and ap-
point committee to inquire into the
general question Of the supply of meat
on the hoof to Great Britain. The pre-
mier was sympathetic in his reply, and
asked for time to consult with his
colleagues. He appeared to favor the
admission of live cattle where it could
be safely done.
The meeting was private. but the
members of the deputation expressed
themselves as hopeful that the eventu-
al removal of the embargo on Canadian
cattle was not impossible. The meat
trade in general urge the admission of
Scandinavian cattle because the gov
eminent has steadily refused to re-
move the embargo on Canadian cattle,
but it is now hoped from Premier AS
quith's attitude that the government
may eventually be induced to admit
Canadian cattle 1t is understood, how
ever. that Lord Darlington, president
of the board of agriculture, is strong
ly opposed to this, and nothing is like
iy to be done for some time.

Squirrel Island. Me-. July 17.-(SpeciaD.
The second game of the Boothhay Har-
borSquirrel Island series was played at
Bootfbay Harbor Thursday afternoon.
There was Thinning contest and Booth
bay Harbor was finally declared the win
ner by the score of 9 to s. 1t vas any
body's game up to the finish, but Squirrel
had more chances of pulling out a victo-
ry. Several times Squirrel took lead
that looked SO it would be hard for
Boothbay to make up. but they rose to
the occasion. In the 18th inning Abbott
smashed out a fly over the fence which
entitled him to Two bases Likewise Ste
ve'lson was advanced from second base
10 home. but Abbott was declared out for
not touching first base and the umpire
Immediately put an alternate ball into
play. Manager Westerfield of Squirrel
Island protested the game and the ques-
ton will probably be left to an outside
board.
Manager Westerfield bases his argu-
ment upon Section g. Rule IA of the rule
book. Fills claim is that the umpire put
an alternate ball in play before the base
runners on a ball batted fair over the
fence had time to make the circuit of the
bases.
Both games have been close, the 1ar-
Dor team in each instance winning only
by one score. Squirrel expects things to
change before long and to even mr on the
total number of games played.

Ask your doctor.

Ask your doctor.
He will tell you that whole wheat
is the ideal food for summer, if the
wheat is made digestible
1t gives one. the maximum food
value, while creating the minimum
heat.
Let it serve-at least once day
for the whole meal.
But you must have wheat that's
digestible, else you don't get enough
food.
And the part that doesn't digest
is injurious.
That's why we steam-cook our
wheat for six hours. Why we cure it.
