Emmett and sister Rose, q boy and a
girl who are fourteen and twelve years

bill. They sing a number of character
songs in costume, their best being the

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health

The burning question, to you, is, Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled top
If not, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in a sound
state of health and strength, if your
stomach is in any way disordered, you
are not going to be yourself" You
nervous or sullen individual, whose ac-
lions will reflect your condition inside,
and people will naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be
cheerful and unless you are cheerful
and smile, at least, occasionally, you
will have few friends, fewer oppor-
tunities, no success, and you will go
down in defeat-defeated by dyspepsia
and a bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has
a quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain. You must have noticed it many
times for the brain and stomach are
as intimately connected as a needle and
it's thread, one can hardly be used to
advantage without the other. If your
stomach is slow and lazy in digesting
your food, 1t will produce at once a
slow. lazy and cloudy influence upon
has absolutely quit work, and fermen-
tation is poisoning your vitals as re-
suit, surely your brain is going to be
sluggish and correspondfngly depressed
NO one neeQ tell you Lndt.
But why continue to suffer all the
miseries and torments that a disorder
ed stomach brings you?
If your stomach can not digest your
food what will? Where's the relief:

GIVE IT TO CHARITY.
Candidate O'Neil Suggests New Use
for Campaign Fund.

That $500 of the assessments placed
by the Republican party on the candi-
dates for nomination at the coming
primary be divided among the following
organized charitable Institutions: The
Topeka Provident association, the To-
peka Industrial institute; Topeka
Orphans home: Crittenton home. and
city detention hospital, is the suggestion
made by Edwin L. O'Neil, one of the
candidates for office. Mr. O'Neil has
written letter to each OF the candi-
dates for office and after detailing the
expenditures of holding the primary he
embodies his suggestion of DIVIDING the
$ooo equally among the five charitable
institutions with the further proyiso
that 1t be made fixed Republican
party principle.
TO date $2,236 has been paid in to the
treasurer OF the Republican county CEN
tral committee. The cost OF the primary
is estimated to be $1,100, leaving bal
ance OF $1,136. No accounting has ever
been made of the distribution of the
fund raised by assessments in former
times and the actual cost of holding
primaries in the past is not available.
In his letter Mr. O'Neil says:
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 13, 1908.
To the Candidates for County Offices:
Gentlemen: Now that the candidates
for places on the Republican ticket
have all antied their assessments, I re-
spectfully ask you to join me in a re-
quest to Mr.. r. E. VanSant, chairman
Of the county committee, urging him to
call meeting of the candidates for the
purpose Of considering what disposition
shall be made of the funds in the hands
of your treasurer. The amount in the
treasury paid in by the candidates ag-
gregates $2,236.
mazda nnnCarV9ftva pCfjr,, "a
and find the expenses for holding the
primary to be about as follows:
$3.50 for judges and clerks.
s125 for meals.
800 for printing.
$500 rent of voting places.
5000 to chairman and secretary of
committee.
$25 incidentals.
Making a total of ST. 100, with a bal
ance of $1,136 on hands.
AS suggestive of what I have in mind
desire to submit for your considera-
ton the following:
That we recommend to the committee
that $500 be appropriated and the same
be apportioned equally among the fol-
lowing worthy organized charitable in
stitutions: The Topeka Provident as
ISOLATION. the Topeka Industrial fnsti-
tute, Topeka Orphans home, Crittenton
home, and city detention hospital.
And that we further recommend that
the committee adopt some such meas
ure as a fixed Republican party prin-
ciple for Shawnee county. Ii action OF
this kind is taken, there will then re-
main in the hands Of the treasurer $3.50
as a nest egg for general election ex-
penses.
AS we are to have an open primary
the expense of registering voters Is
eliminated and therefore no carriages
will be needed.
I sincerely hope the candidates viii
look upon this suggestion as a good
party measure and write to the chair
man requesting some such action. Very
truly yours,
EDWIN L. O'NEIL. .

COFFEE" COUGH
Woman Feared Consumption But Spe.
cialist Said Cough Came
From Coffee

Quite a relief to learn your cough
which everyone said was surely con-
sumption, is really caused by reflex ir-
ritation from coffee drinking
You can quit the coffee, but consurnp-
tdon is hard to shake
A Wis. woman coughed so hard and
so much she and her friends thought
sure She had consumption, but a spec
ialist in lung disease found her lungs
were all right-the cough came from
coffee. She writes:
II had very bad cough that re-
fused to yield to medicine. After five
months doctoring with my home doctor
and fearing consumption, I consulted
IL specialist who examined my lungs
thoroughly. He said they were all right
but 1 must quit drinking coffee as that
was probably the cause of it. 1 was
very nervous. also.
He suggested I drink Postum. and
gave me no medicine. only said he
would write to my home doctor /
came home glad in one way and sorry
in another. 1 thought it was hard to
give up coffee, for I did not care for
breakfast without it.
THE doctors letter miscarrfed and
got no medicine for weeks. but
1 left off coffee and began to use Pos
tun, and my cough began to get bet
ter. 1 steadily improved in other ways
digestion got all right and 1 was not
nervous.
"A short time ago I went to a picnic
where they served only coffee and /
drank some. but found my great love
for it was entirely gone
81 would have been glad to have
| had a cup of Postum. for the coffee
drank seemed like I had swallowed a
stone. besides I did not sleep that night
Nothing would induce me to go back
to coffee again." Name given by Pos

UNEASY OVER MAINE
REPUBLICANS AT HEADQUARTERS
 ARE SCARED.
slashing of Majoritfes Gives Cause For Alarm--Reeeive Discour- aging Reports From
 The West.

Washington. D. : C.. Sept. 15--(Spe- ciaI.) .)--The slashing of majorities in the Maine Congressional Districts cre- ates strong hope at Democratic head quarters tha tthe Republicans are like iy to lose control of the House of Representatives.
 The Maine result is discouraging to the Republicans. but they are putting on the boldest front possible. and are busy spreading information that the Issues were purely local and should not be taken as an indication of what the vote generally will be for Con- gressmen in November.
 Democrats who attended the Bryan meeting in Baltimore last niKht, say nothing like 1t ever took place in that city before. So great was the enthu- siasm that Maryland Is regarded safe for the Democrats this year.
 The belief is growing stronger here that President Roosevelt will make several speeches next month. He and his cabinet officers are known to be alarmed oyer the political situation.
 Reports from the West are that there Is not enough enthusiasm for Taft to satisfy, the campaign mana gers. who cannot conceal their rest iess concern over the outlook
 Opinions differ as 10 neither Roose- volt will take the stump, many con. tending that such departure would weaken rather than strengthen ths Taft candidacy.
 Tt would .douhtIess help greatly iu the West" some say. but so far as the East Is concerned. Roosevelt had better keep hands of.

Even Break for Whiskey and Auti-
 Forces In Questionable Counties.
 Little Rock. Ark, Sept. 15.--only in complete returns from the election held Monday In Arkansas have been re- ceived as yet. but from those received, tt is believed that the Democratic ma jortty has been increased slightly
 However. Chairman Tucker of the State Republican Central Committee. tonight declared that the Republican party had made a gain of 10000 votes | in the State, and further claimed im- portant victories in number of lo- calities throughout the State. Chair man Mflwee of the State Democratic Committee, tonight continues to declare that the Democratic majority when all returns are in. will be the largest in the history of the State. The heavy vote polled .n many parts of the State and the failure to report returns leaves the situation a more doubtful condition than 1t was last night when the first returns were received. Then 1t was thought that the Democratic majority would be increased by 5000 to 10000. but later reports tonight show sn unexpected falling off of the Democratic vote in some counties.
 Later returns tonight from ques- tionable counties in the whiskey fight show about an even break for liquor and anti-liQuor forces.

Trenton. N. J., Sept. 15.-Pouring hot shot into Mir. Taft and the Repubii- can Party at every point where he stopped. William J. Bryan tonight in this city, concluded strenuous day of campaigning in New Jersey following few hours in Philadelphia. where in front of newspaper office and before a great throng. he arraigned. the Re- publican organization of that city and expressed his sorrow for people who he said were compelled to live under its rule.
 Switching into national politics. he asserted that the Republican standard bearer promised that there would be TO panics and that Mir. Roosevelt as Mir. Taft's godfather, promised the same thing. He wanted to know how Mir Taft could prevent panics when MT. Roosevelt already had one on his hands.
 Mir Bryan's reception In New Jersey was a demonstrative one.
 X At Washington Park. on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River be- low Philadelphia. he addressed more than 10000 persons, his audisnce ac. coFdlnE him an ovation.
 En route here, MT. Bryan spoke al Camden end Burlington to great crowds and shock hands with many hundreds of persons. Stalfding on the rear platform of iiis car in .Caandeu
 
 hearers that the voters were study ing the issues of the campaign. He de- clared that in every State the changes were in the direction of the DeH1ocratiC Party and that there was no place In the United States where the changes were from that party. Incidentally he again attacked T. Coleman Du Pont of the Republican Executive Commit tee, reiterating his former charge that Mfr. Du Pont as trust magnate wal unfit to occupy the position of attempt. ing to institute reforms. Along the lines from Camden here. stops were made at dozen places, at all of which large crowds turned out and gave hin an enthusiastic welcome. Mr. Bryan'i speech in this city tonight covered much of the same ground gone ovel during the day. a
