WORKED In. THE
WRONG DISTRICT
One Of the Many ImpOrtuni-
ties That BeSet Political
Candidates

Just at this time when the political
game is waxing warm, candidates for
office are being deluged with requests
for money from workers. The amounts
asked. range anywhere from ten cents
% $50, and the life some Of the candi-
dates is now leading as a result OF
these opportunities, is miserable in
the extreme. One man, a candidate for
office. vented his feelings on the mat
ter to-day and he suggests that an or
ganization of the candidates be form
ed to safeguard themselves from the
money demands made on them.
An instance of how the alleged
workers work was recited to-day by
a candidate He was approached by
one of these woINers who informed
him that he had been in Middletown
working hard for this particular can
didate and was doing everything in
his power to elect him. He ended up
by producing a Chinese laundry check
and requested the candidate TO give
him twenty cents to get his laundry.
as he was broke.
It happens that this candidate is on
the Democratic ticket for member Of
the Legislature from Wilmington
district. and he told his. willing worker
that he was I'm need OF no votes from
Middletown.
The fellow saw he had made a mis-
take and placing the laundry check in
his pocket walked off without another

STATES MAY FIGHT
CHOLERA In HOGS
Government May Make Appeal
for Stamping Out Dis
ease In Animals

The Department of Agriculture is
arranging to bring to the attention Of
the various legislatures I'm those
States where hogs are raised the ne
cessity of providing funds for a hog
cholera serum, the success of which
has been thoroughly demonstrated by
the Bureau.
It is the belief OF the department
officials that serum has at last been
found which. when properly applied
will save millions of dollars annually
to the farmers of the country.
No money is provided by the Gov
ernment for the distribution of this
serum, and unless the States. through
their departments of agriculture, ar
range to manufacture this antitoxin, IL
is feared that its benefits will be
lost.
A successful demonstration of the
value OF the new Government serum
for preventing cholera has just been
concluded at Omaha, Neb.
The efficiency Of this serum had
been proved many times before, but
in order that its value might be
brought more strikingly to the at
tention of the Westerners, q practi-
cal demonstration was arranged al
the Union Stock Yards at Omaha.
In its report on this demonstration
the department says:
"The experiment was witnessed by
representatives Of the Nebraska Ag-
ricultural Station and by officials OF
the Nebraska Swine Breeders AS
sociation, and it convinced them that
the serum was entirely effective.
"The Department of Agriculture
does not distribute this serum to
farmers, but is endeavoring to bring
the value of this method to the at
tention of the stock-raising interests
in order that they may arrange TO Sc
cure State funds for its manufacture
and distribution.
The department authorities believe
that this new serum treatment, il
properly applied, will result in saw
/ ing millions of dollars"

No Indigestion, Heartburn,
Gas or Dyspepsia Five
Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
faniIy who suffers an attack of lndi-
geation or some form OF Stomach
trouble. why don't you keep some
Dlapepsin in the house handyy
This harmless blessing Will digest
anything you eat without the slight
est discomfort and overcome a sour,
CASEY Stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist TO let you read
the formula. plainly printed on these
5O-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion. Sour stomach; Heart
burn and other distress go in five
minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching OF Gas. Eructa-
tons of sour, undigested food, Nau-
sea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipa-
tion and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
nnd relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepna or an out-or-order stomach
with the common. everyday cures adj
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong,or believe their'si is a
case OF Nervousness, Gastritis, Ca
tarrh OF the Stomach or Cancer
This, no doubt, is serious mistake
Your real trouble is. what you eat

CHASING THE DUCK
AT A CHURCH MEETING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-F. d. Boss,
Second Vice-President of the Ep-
worth League, was discussing mis-
sionary study at Brookland Methodist
Episcopal Church.
ut is time.' he said. 1--WE had at
least one missionary study class in
our league"
"Quack! Quackl" came from a
voice at the open door.
EVERYBODY turned toward the door,
but, seeing nothing, turned to the
speaker again.
"The best way to begin continued
Mr. Boss, would be to have some vol
unteers for charter membership"
"Quackl Quackl Quackl" again
came from the direction of the door.
This last call almost broke up the
meeting. William A. Springer was
detailed to investigate the noise while
the speaker rested. Mr.. Springer
found a duck Just outside the door
and chased It around the church until
it disappeared. The service then was
resumed
