to stand for the Office.
These requests" said one az his
friends today. "have been coming TO
Professor Smith every day from
some of his friends. and many more

the Democratic and Republican par

should have a business administra-
ton of such an Office OF importance
as county clerk. and knowing the
professors ability, they think he is
the man for the place"

known men in Paducan. For years
he conducted business college

only a few years ago to devote all
OF his time to the duties of an ex-
pert accountant. He Is registered as

suffer complete physical relapse. Is
the opinion OF Professor Struempel,
the famous Vienese specialist, who
diagnosed his ailments and for whose
advice the magnate made a special
trip to Vienna. He says he is re-
stored to comparative health"
which will remain satisfactory, "if
he lives a most moderate life hence
forth. The resumption of the siren

bring relapse" He spent hours with
Hartman, diagnosing the case as
thoroughly as II he was a member
Of a royal family, whose physician
Struempel is. He says he is suffer-
ing of lack OF proper nourishment,
which has caused a general physical
weakness. and oYerwork has caused
a general nervous debility and ex-
haustion. He must take the rest
cure, lie quietly in bed many hours
day, eat only nourishing food, and
plenty of II, every two hours, must
also take sunbatbs, going naked in
the sunshine, to strengthen his
nerves. When there Is no sunshine

Bile. and he predicts a long life II he
follows his instructions. Harriman's
