1t is pity when sick ones drug
the stomach or stimulate the heart
and kidneys. That is all wrong! A
weak stomach means weak stomach,
nerves. And this is also true of the
heart and kidneys. The weak nerves
are instead crying out for help. This
explains why DR.. Shoop's Restorative
is promptly helping stomach. heart
and kidney ailments. The Restorative
reaches out for the actual cause of
these ailments-the falling 'Inside
nerves." Anyway, test the Restorative

that. but YOU will surely know that

NEW YORK.

Although trade reports are somewhat
irregular in character, owing largely to
varying weather conditions in different
sections of the country and uncertainties
caused by impending elections, the gem
eral undertone is toward sustained i'm
provement.
Country trade has been comparatively
quiet, because the farmers have been TAX
ing advantage of the ideal weather to
complete their harvesting. However, the
heavy marketing of crops has been for
an increased railway tonnage and I'M
proved collections considerably, while ex-
ports of wheat are heavy.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FARM.
President Asks Many and the Com
mission Is Busy.

President Roosevelt wants to know
whether the farmer likes his farm and
why. To receive this information a
commission on country life consisting
of six members, is now conducting an
investigation. After the farmer has
backs, other citizens are to be asked
whether they like their job, their home,
their neighbors and why.
Some of the questions now going over
the thousands of rural routes are as
follows:
''Are the farm homes in your neigh
borhood as good as they should be under
existing tonditions?''
Are the schools in your neighborhood
training boys and girls satisfactorily for
life on the farm?'
40 the farmers in your neighborhood
get the returns they reasonably should
from the sale of their products?''
do the farmers in your neighborhood
receive from the railroads, highroads,
trolley lines, etc, the service they rea-
sonably should have?"
DO the farmers in your neighborhood
receive from the United States postal
service, rural telephone, etc, the service
they reasonably should expect?"
Are the farmers and their wives in
your neighborhood satisfactorily organ
lied to promote their mutual interest ?"
Are the renters of farms in your
neighborhood making satisfactory liv-
ing?"
''Is the supply of farm labor in your
neighborhood satisfactory"

Senator Culberson of Texas has been
appointed to succeed David r. Francis of
Missouri as chairman of the advisory
committee of the Democratic national
campaign organization. Mr.. Francis has
gone abroad.
Candidate Taft came out of his vaca-
ton seclusion at Middle Bass Island and
started from Sandusky across Ohio by
train, making many short addresses from
the rear platform of the observation car
in which he rode.
The Indiana campaign of the Indepen-
dence party was opened in indianapolis.
William r. Hearst, Thomas L. Hisgen,
presidential candidate, and George w.
McCaskrin, candidate of the party for
Governor of Illinois, spoke.
Candidate Bryan has issued a reply to
the pamphlet published by President Van
Cleave of the Manufacturers Association
in the interest of Taft. Bryan says that
the Democratic labor plank is not an
assault on the courts, and asks if the
labor question is so important as to JUS
tify business men in ignoring all other
issues. Instead of creating the ''class
spirit" as Van Cleave had said the jury
trial clause did, Bryan holds that it aims
to prevent having the writ of injunction
used to create or to favor class.
In a letter addressed to Rev. r. Fl.
Gesner, rector of Christ Episcopal church
OF Oswego, James S. Sherman, Republi-
can vice presidential candidate, expressed
himself unequivocally in favor of the re-
nomination of Gov. Charles E. Hughes.
"a prohibitionist does not have to be
a total abstainer," said Eugene W. Cha
fin, prohibition candidate for president,
in a speech at the old capitol building in
St. Paul. 1.-THE prohibitionist is the man
who votes the prohibition ticket on cleo
ton day because he believes the principle
is right"
After withdrawing from all speaking
enga gements in the national and State
campaigns, Senator Joseph B. Foraker
declared he will publicly answer the
charges made by W. r. Hearst and will
make personal tour of the State in be-
half of his own reelection. In a writ
ten request TO National Chairman Frank
II. Hitchcock, Senator Foraker asked to
be relieved from the appointments which
had been arranged for him by the national
speakers bureau. and in a communication
to State Chairman Williams of the Ohio
Republican committee made the same re-
quest as to the engagements which had
been arranged for him.
Novel bids for support are figuring in
the campaign for Office in Delta county,
Mich. this summer. One aSpirant for
the nomination Of prosecuting attorney is
making use of huge kites TO carry aloft
appropriately inscribed banners. Another
candidate is distributing TO the boys of
the county 5000 caps advertising the fact
that he is in the field. Now a third seeker
of public Office is giving away to the
juvenile population paper bags filed with
candy and nuts. Printed on the bags is
an appeal for support.
Republican leaders are advising Judge
Taft not TO go personally into the cam
paign until October, when the farmers
can give more attention to politics.
