country, and It will do you more good
than twenty-five pledged delegates.
And dropped In the following just
for q feeler:
some one In Jericho started rumor
the other night that President Taft
had met with an auto accident while
out taking the air and that the doctors
regarded 1t doubtful II he lived ten
hours. The widest panic that this
town has ever seen set In. and 1t was
only after Old Pap Pinkham had tele-
graphed to Washington and exposed
the canard taat any one went to bed.
When It was found that Mr.. Taft was
all right the town fairly screamed with
Joy" II
See the point. william? The more
we can keep the country concerned
about your health the more the coun-
try will love you. We never really
love anything until we are about to
lose 1t. The fact that Jericho was
thrown into a panic will make other
towns jealous, and they will be thrown
into panic too. A dollar shirt couldn't
have got the same advertising for
$3.50.
Mrs. Pinkham Writes One.
And here follows one written by Mrs.
Pinkham. don't want all my articles
to appear to have been written by the
same hand. and so I shall bring her In
now and then:
1.-The Highball Is pleased to an
nounce that In an interview held with
Mrs. Pap Pinkham day or two ago.
the first one she has granted to any
newspaper-she stated that she had
carefully diagnosed President Taft's
symptoms and that all signs pointed
to a second term. We have copyright
ed the above. and any newspaper using
1t without stating as a side issue In
full faced type that Mrs. Pinkham
never makes a mistake will be prose-
cuted under the law. II there has been
any doubt that Mr.. Taft was the man
for the place this diagnosis settles It."
Any fault to find with that. William
Our aim must be to have you Endorsed
politically. medically and socially. We
must leave no loopholes. Mr.. Bryan
may attempt to secure his next nomi-
nation on the ground that he Is I'M
mune against whooping cough and
measles. We must be prepared to 60
him one better.
And here Is a second one by the same
celebrated lady:
1.-THE Highball understands that Pres
ident Taft has assured Mrs. Pink
ham In the most solemn manner that
as soon as other matters are out of
the way he will take up the woman
suffrage movement and give 1t his most
earnest thought. This means. we are
convinced. that he will array himself
in favor Of the movement. Mrs. Taft
Is pledged to use all her influence with
him."
Keep tho People Talking.
Pure fiction. william. but you can
readily understand how 1t will count
In your favor. That's another benefit
Of having a newspaper organ Of your
own-you can hit the high and low
places all over the country. We want
the people to understand that you are
ready to favor anything. even to a
circus with fourteen rings. It's always
easy to hit the back trail II the thing
Is not so.
My idea Is to keep Jericho talking
about us both. and for that reason bull
letins as follows will constantly ap
pear on the news boards of the High
ball:
"Old Pap Pinkham. postmaster, ha.
just sold another postage stamp"
--latest from Washington reports
Taft as having slight headache"
"Old Pap Pinkham predicts a large
crop Of summer squashes."
mrs. P1nKnam is doing the family
washing today and can receive no call
ers."
"Old Pap Pinkham has sent a warn
ing to Senator Depew that this is ar
Off year for statesmen"
president Taft says there will be nc
war with Germany"
"Old Pap Pinkham thinks Roosevelt
made mistake In Rome"
president Taft Ntelegraphs that
everything is serene and the goose
hangs high"
OLD PAP PINKHAM,
