Judging from newspaper talk
it appears reasonable to suppose
that D. H. Mays will be the next
Congressman from this, the
Third District. Mr.. Mays has
made an active campaign and
has done his work 10 that quiet,
dignlfed and Straightforward
manner which appeals to the
people. He has at no time at
tackled the public or private
character of his opponents and
when an attack unreasonable
and unjust was made upon him
he promptly but quietly pro-
ceeded to cali his traducer down
good and hard, thereby doing
the puolic a service as well as
bene6tting himself Mr. Mays
iooks like a winner

These latter days of the cam
paign will be strenuous times for
the many county candidates, and
the way they'll buttonhole and
cajole the voters will be a eau
ton. Thank goodness, here in
Madison county the campaign IS
being conducted 90 proper lines
without venom and malice
among the candidates. Every
one of them seeks the Office to
which he aspires solely upon his
own merits aud not the dement's
of his opponents, That's the
way it should be and when the
result is made known it is pretty
apt to prove that the people
have chosen those whom they
think best suited to discharge
the duties of the various posi-
tons.

Royal G. Dunn whose candir
dacy for Railroad Commissioners
is we'll known, has made an
active campaign. He has been
in every part of the State and
has made friends and supporters
in every section, When it comes
to campaigning Dunn is a
'hustler." He goes right after
a fellow and stays with him
until he has listened to what he
has to say. Indications point
that Dunn will be one of the
leaders in the first primary and
will enter the second primary
with large following behind
him.

The Oriuin Of MASSAGE,

China claims to have originated mas
sage treatment. According to long time
Chinese ideas. life Is entirely depend
ent on ''air currents" which are desig-
mated as the primary aura of the Or
ganism. So long, then. as the body is
permeated by the air current 1t Is proof
against disease. and the object Of phys
ical exercise is to circulate the air cur
rent. To effect this the Chinese system
is divided into three periods. each Pc
riod occupying a hundred days, the
first period commencing at the time Of
at 4 o'clock in the morning and walk
outside his house. taking seven deep
inspirations. and Immediately after this
two youths who have been specially
trained commence gentle friction all
over the body. starting over the cardiac
area. At the time Of full moon a fur
ther set of inspiratory exercises are
taken. Later on, in the second period.
the various parts of the body are rub
bed with wooden planks until the mus
cles are hardened. and it is not until
the hardening takes place that the real
physical exercises are taken. Between
the fifth and sixth months is the period
of greatest activity, the European
dumbbell being replaced by large sacks
filed with stones. 1t is In the third
period that the back muscles are chief
ly exercised.
