Get After the Flies.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis,
ease and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health Of your
community.

horses seem to think personal
abuse the proper way to win for
themselves and for their candi-
dates, We find some running
for office who put in most Of
their time abusing the opposing
candidate, even if he belongs to
the same party. We also find
other people who believe that
the best way to secure success
for their party is by personal
abuse of the opposing party. The
people as a whole do not appre-
ciate this policy. There are
more patriots than partisans. The
rank and file of the people be-
lieve that graft and corruption

Democrats are going to win in
Missouri, and we feel confident
they are, they should organize
along harmonious lines and fight
for the party and its principles,
and not altogether for office.

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dan

The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they get a firm
hold before the sufferer recog-
nizes them. Health is gradually
undermined. Backache, head

succession. Don't neglect your

Another wonderful piscoyerY.


Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago. But
it seems there is nothing so inn
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of ac-
cOmplishment. Prof. Emerson
has now discovered a preparation
which will really grow hair.
Iowa people are amazed and as
founded by Emerson's new dis
covery for the hair. Emerson
said that one bottle of his new
discovery would grow a full
head of hair and restore gray or
faded hair to its natural color.
The people did not believe him.
1t was too much to expect and
too good to be true. They had
tried all the highly advertised
hair reStorerS and had always
been disappointed and they could
not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most start
ling part of all-for Emerson
proved it-yes, absolutely proved
it, What do you think he did?
He made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the
unheard of offer, but they knew
that Emerson was financially re-
sponsible and would do as he
agreed if it cost him his fortune,

Vital Washington News

gress are preparing to ask for
election or reelection on the re-
cord of President Taft and the
last Congress.
Aside from the tariff revision,
familiar, the predOminating fea-
lures of the platform on which
with which the public is already
the Standpatters will make their
final desperate stand are the
postal bank bill and the so-called
railroad regulation bill.
The railroad bill as passed was
better than existing law, inn
provementS having been forced
by Democrats and insurgents.
The original draft was one of
the most vicious pieces Of legis-
lation proposed in congress in
years. President Taft sent this
bill to Congress with his person
al Endorsement and asked that
ito be passed without amendment.
1t provided for a commerce
court which would have de-
stroyed the usefulness of the
interstate commerce commission,
and made appeal to then higher
tribunals impossible.
1t took the railroads from
under the antitrust law, and
would have permitted them to
make what rates they pleased
without any effective check.
It legalized existing mergers
between existing lines; it con
tanned a joke provision to regu-
late the issuing of railroad Sc
eurities.
The Democrats and Insurgents
forced some improvements, but
were prevented by administration
influences from putting in pro.
visions which would have beer
of real value to the people, such
as physical valuation of the roads
as a basis of rate regulation.
Such was the railroad bill thai
would have become law had Pres
ident Taft had his way.
AS TO POSTAL BANKS
Congress passed the kind o
postal savings bank bill tina
Mr.. Taft wanted. The effec
will be, it is thought by thOs'
who have given study to tn
act as passed, to drain local com
munities of the money deposited
in postal savings banks. Hat
the Democrats and Insurgent
had their way, a postal bank bil
such as was desired by the PEG
pie. would have been passed. Blu
through the influence of the ad
ministration, Aldrich was abl'
to thwart the will Of the people
and to secure the passage of
bill which will give Wall Stree

A FRANK ADMISSION
Representative Charles E.
Littlefield of Maine, now admits
that the plank in the last Re
publican National platform re-
garding injunctions was put
there to placate the labor leaders
and with no intention of its be-
ing carried out. He carries his
frankneSS to an even greater eX-
tent and says the plank is per
fectly non-committal'' and means
nothing, being simply a dishonest
trick to lure the unwary working
man and delude him with the be-
lief that metropolitan party was
his friend. If the truth was
told, it would no doubt reveal
that the tariff revision plank was
another dishonest plank, never
intended of fulfillment, and that
the whole platform was a tissue
of falsehood and false pretense.
SECRET PUBLICITY
The bill providing publicity for
contributions passed at the
last session and signed by Pres
ident Taft, is not what the peo-
pie have for years been demand
ing.
The House provided for publ
city before election, but the Sen
ate refused to pass such a meas
ure and as a result of a confer
ence publicity will not be made
until after the elections have
taken place.
What's the use of publicity af-
ter an election, when what has
been done cannot be undOue?
Publicity before an election
would seem to be the only kinC
of publicity worth anything fol-
then the voters would be given
timely notice as to which party
and candidates were of, by and
for the trusts, and which were
of, for and by the people.

beautiful but colossal seated statue OF
the god Boodha, sculptured by some

years to our united ages. The temple
supports a whole retinue of priests,
some of them among the most pious
in India-which is saying great deal.
"'The earliest records concerning

night; next morning II was gone, nor
since! The golden fllet is yet in
place; the faithful still flock to wor
ship; the priests serve the shrine as
of old-but the jewel, with l don't
know how many bags of rupees, has
never been heard of to this day! But
there is a prophecy current
Here Bharat Serang lowered his
voice and leaned across the table:
1.-THE priests have a theory that
the thief who stole the ruby secreled
it somewhere near by until he could
safely make off with it. That he was
never able to do so they also believe,
because it would have been impossible
to dispose of so splendid a stone or
to keep the transaction secret. Soon
er or later the jewel must have been
traced. In my country all things are
known-sooner or later. So here is
what the priests and their devotees
believe-that some day the soul Of
that robber will be re-incarnated again
here on earth, and that in his new life
he will remember the theft and the
act of sacrilege, and endeavor either
to obtain the stone or restore 1t to
Boodha. It's very pretty theory
all Brahmin India believes it. How
does it impress your occidental mind,
Mr.. Cortice?'

delivering this climax to his strange
story, watching me with inscrutable
eyes. l confess to feeling mighty I'M
