J. M. BOWES FOR SHERIFF.
Democratic Warhorse SHES his Cas-
tor Into the Ring-Opponent
Will Have to Hurry.

Jas. NJ. Bowes has announced his
candidacy for the nomination for
the office of sheriff, on the democratic
ticket, and will probably have no op-
position for the nomination. Bowes
made a splendid run for this office
two years ago, when he ran over
1900 votes ahead of his ticket, and
only lost by 1928 votes.
There are now four candidates in
the field for the republican nomina-
ton, Ed Payette, George Dean, James
Connor and w. c. Lucore, and each
one of them Is making strenuous
fight for the place. When they get
through with their scrap, Bowes will
step in and beat the winning man
at least, that is the way it now looks.

SHEEKS FORCES ORGANIZE.
Chehalis County Non Partisan Judi.
ciary League Is Formed to
Further Sheeks' Election.

All Indications point to an inter-
est1ng campaign for the office of su-
periOr judge between the present in
cumbent and the choice of the County
Bar Association, Ben Sheeks While
the attorneys of the county, with but
few exceptions, favor Sheeks, the
movement to change judges is by no
means confined to the profession.
Last week the Chehalis County
Non-Partisan Judiciary League was
formed for the purpose of promoting
the election of Sheeks, with the fol
lowing officers: President, Sidney
Moor Heath, Hoquiam; Mike Ryan,
Aberdeen, secretary; G. r. Snider,
Aberdeen, treasurer, and vice presi-
dents, John Hartman, Elma; Fred c.
Furth, Aberdeen; H. G. Leland, Mo-
clips; N. S. Richards, Oakville. The
league has issued the following state
ment:
"The League supports Mr.. Sheeks
on account of his fitness for the Of
flee by reason of his standing as a
lawyer throughout the state, and
his general character.
"At meeting of the Bar Associa-
tion of the County, called for the pur-
pooc VI cuuOISluS CdHuludCo IOr
Judge of the Superior Court, great
majority of the lawyers of the cOun-
ty being present, Mr.. Sheeks was
selected by them as the most suitable
candidate for the office.
He is member of the bar of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and at different times has had i'm
pOrtant cases in that court.
"Mr. Sheeks announces that he will
make no personal canvass for votes,
taking the position that it is against
the best traditions of the profession
for a candidate for judge to make
personal solicitation for votes or in
fluence; that it is too much like ask
ing personal favor. And. that the
citizen ought not to vote for Judge
as personal favor.
'The League cOmmends that posi-
ton, and urges the voters of the
county to support Mr.. Sheeks on ac-
count of his learning and fitness.
THE office should not be given
on account of friendship, nor to the
man who asks it, merely because he
does ask, but we, as voters, owe it
to ourselves, and to the public, to
give it to the one best qualified, and
who will mete out even-handed and
impartial justice to all"

FIRE AT 3RD STREET
DUMPING GROUNDS
Gets Dangerously Near to the Yards
Of the keokuk and Carter Lum-
Der Co.'s in the Neigh
borhood.

An alarm was turned in this after
noon at 80 from the large dumping
grounds at Third and Des Moines
streets where the whole hollow which
is block by half square, was in a
blaze and was getting dangerously
near to property in the neighborhood.
Some one stated this afternoon that
they saw man set the brush and
trash that is in the hollow on fire
and several alarms were turned in,
the people in the neighborhood fearing
that the fire would get to the houses
in the vicinity
Not over fifty feet away are the
large lumber yards and mills of the
Keokuk Lumber Co., and the Carter
Lumber Co., SO that in the event of
the fire spreading to these yards a
dangerous and costly fire might have
resulted.
The West K reels large hose was
laid and turned into the fire which
was put out in about a half hour. The
fire probably originated from the
sparks of a passing locomotive which
runs past the grounds

You Need Not Diet
When you have Dyspepsia Indigestion or any form Of
Stomach trouble take Kodol and you then what
you want for Kodol will digest it.

Starvation seems strange remedy for any dis
ease. Yet, starvation by rigorous diet, was once
generally resortedto in of indigestion or other
stomach trouble. Even yet, it is sometimes tried
Such remedy is worse than useless Every day
OF life consumes portion of the tissue of the
human body. The food we eat serves to repair
this waste, and you can't build up the system by
Withholding material for the purpose.
If the stomach is in such condition, that it can
not furnish it, the task must be performed without
the stomach's assistance. Kodol is the only pre-
paration which accomplishes this There are
others which act on certain kinds of food but
kodol is the only one, which digests them all, as
the stomach digests them.
Man is so constituted that he needs a variety of
food; to reduce the variety, always produces bad
results.
In ninety-nne cases in hundred indigestion is
due to lack of some of the elements, which con-
stitue the natural digestive juices, usually to the
absence of hydrochloric acid for the stomach
1t is by the action of these juices, that food is
reduced to a form in which it be transformed
into living tissue. With any of them lacking it
Is easy to see that the process of digestion cannot
be perfectly performed
With the single exception of Kodol all prepare
tions for the relief of indigestion, lack certain of
these elements. Consequently, they cannot digest
all classes of food.
Kodol contains them all. 1t will digest any,
thing that the healthy stomach can digest. 1t is
Natures own cure.

: BEWARE PNEUMoNIAe

ACCORDING to mortality statistics,
pneumonia is one of the most fire.
auent and fatal diseases to which
humanity is subject. It's action is so
rapid that its victim is often in a pre-
carious condition before realizing that
anything more serious is the matter
than a severe cold.
Ills Is one of the dangers that may
follow neglect of a cough or cold, and
is therefore the best of reasons why
one should check a cold at the state.
A simple, inexpensive and effective
remedy that will usually break cold
overnight, is the mixture of one-half
ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure, with two ounces of Glycerine
and half pint of good Whiskey. Take
a teaspoonful every four hours. 1t is
claimed this mixture will cure any
cough that is durable, and provides
sufficient quantity to last the average
family an entire year. Get the ingred-
tents separately and mix them your
self.
In preparing this formula it Is es.
sential to use only the best quality of
Glycerine and Whiskey with the gen
uine Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure. The latter preparation is a COM
blnation of the active principles of the
Pine and Santalwood trees, carefully
compounded to retain the healing,
health-giving properties for which
these trees are justly famous. In or
der to insure its purity and freshness
1t is securely sealed in round wooden
case. The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure is prepared only in

cal Co. Cincinnati, o.
