Warning to Railroad Men.

Look out for severe and even
dangerous kidney and bladder
trouble resulting from years of
railroading. Geo. E. Bell, of 639
Third ST., Fort Wayne, Ind, was
many years a conductor on the
Nickel Plate. He says, Twenty
years of railroading left my kid
neys in terrible condition. There
was a continual pain across my
back and hips and my kidneys
gave me much distress, and the
action of my bladder was frequent
and most painful. | got supply
of Foley Kidney Pills and the first
bottle made a wonderful improve
ment, and four bottles cured me
completely. Since being cured l
have recommended Foley Kidney
Pills to many of my railroad
friends.

The Contrary Mule

A farmer in Kentucky sought
advice from a veterinary about a
sick mule. The doctor advised
calomel, FIVE times the dose for a
man.
How can l make him take itG"
You put a stick of wood three
quarters of an inch thick between
his teeth, and then you take this
rubber tube, put in the calomel in
it, insert in the mules mouth,
which is held open by the piece OF
of wood, and blow the medicine
down his throat"
That's easy enough" said the
farmer. K
Three weeks later the doctor
met the farmer. who had changed
greatly. He was emaciated,
bumped, CHASTITY and bundled in
heavy wrappings.
why, what's the matterY''
said the doctor.
The farmer sighed deeply and
spoke feebly. THAT mule, he
said, that cussed, idiotic, fool
mulel You see, | got ready just
as you told me, got the tube in
his mouth ready to blow, and
them" he paused for breath, then
that internal mule blew first"

News, news, news, It's enough
to give man the blues. Nobody
married, nobody dead, nobody
lost an arm or head. Nobody came
in to talk of the cap, no one got
boosy and started scrap, nobody
run in for taking horn, nobody
buried and nobody born. Oh,
for a racket, a riot, a fuss. Some
one come in and kick up muss,
something to stir up the peace laden
air, somebody's comet to give us
a scare. Someone to come in and
pay up his dues, anything, any
thing, just so its news. -Fredonia
Herald.

Notice

Complaint has been made to me
by several residents of the north
west part of the city that the land
adjoining and laying just west of
the Frisco and Summers addition
to the city of Liberal is being
used as a public dumping ground
and that the same is becoming a
public nuisance. Action will be
taken against anyone dumping re-
fuse on this ground or near there
in the future.
l would suggest that those who
have been using this ground secure
the consent of someone owning
land farther from the city, then no
one will be injured.

A Hospital Planned.

A movement is now on foot for
a hospital for Liberal. 1t has Of
ten been pointed out that the town
has numerous churches and lodges
who are active in improving con-
ditions of life, but it has no insti-
tuition for the saving of life. A
plan was tried out here about a
year ago to secure a hospital by
stock subscription. The idea now
is to sell tickets which will be
transferable, and which will en-
title the holder of the ticket to
hospital care for one week, at any
time within two years after the
hospital is completed. The patient
may select his own physician, and
will also pay the doctors bill. All
registered physicians will have &C
cess to the hospital. About $50
tickets have been sold to the bust
ness men and citizens of the town,
and very little canvassing has been
done up to date. 1t is estimated
by the promoters of the hospital
that they will need to sell 400 tick
cts to insure the success of the
project. The plan is to build a
hospital which will cost not over
$4,000. A loan will be made tC
cover the balance OF the cost. II
is said that a lone has been assured
by an eastern party. 1t seems
that the promoters will have little
or no trouble in raising the amount
needed. 1t is indeed trivial al
compared to the amount that il
spent annually or even semi-annual
" in Liberal for tobacco and othet
trifles. If the people can be con
WINGED that we need a hospita
here, there is little question bu
that we will have it.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-03-24

A pleasant change in the issue
before the people at the next city
election will be the elimination of
the old time question of wet and
dry, and bootlegger and anti-boot-
logger. The men on both tickets
will go in on a ticket of law en-
forcement, so the only question
which should be taken into con-
sideration is the business ability
of the men on the two tickets. 1t
is probable that the next council
will have about the same amount
of money as the present council.
Every voter should express his
preference at the polls on April g.
We believe in the rule of the ma,
jority which seldom goes wrong
The Citizens have issued a plat,
form. The Progressiyes have moi
stated their position on the issues
before the people.

One for Father.

| think 1t is time to be writing a
rhyme
Extolling the virtues Of Dad.
It's gone far enough and sure does
seem rough
To think of the snubs he has had.
We write much of mother and tell
how we love her.
We offer our hearts at her shrine,
We praise her ornately (she take 1t
sedatelY9
Hereafter it's father for mine.
or course I'll admit, she deserves
quite bit
OF love and affection no doubt;
l always have said it, she gets all
the credit,
But fathers most always left out.
Who does all the plugging while ma"
gets the hugging,
Who tolls in good weather and bad?
Whose arms bear the burden, who
scarce gets word In?
You bet your sweet life 1t Is Dad.
How long has he waited for praises

Let's make his poor starved heart fee
glad,
And while we're about it, let's stant
up and shout it,
Three ripping hot cheers for old Dad

The row on the streets OF the
town last Saturday is a monument
to the incompetency of the city
marshall. There could have been
nothing added to make it more
unpleasant. A city officer, of
course, should have the support
of the citizens of the town, but it
seems out of the question to get
people to support a man who has
so few of the qualifications for the
Job as our present marshall. We
wonder just how much longer we
will be compelled to put up with
that kind of an officer.

Republican Breach
John Dawson Puts Over A
Package TO Gov. Stubbs
And Fred Jack
SON.


Because Stubbs vetoed the Orr
bill fixing the salaries in the At
torney Generals Office, cutting
out all fees, John Dawson has Civ
en- out a few suggestions to the
public.
II wish that the newspapers
would tell the public" said Daw-
son, that was heartily in favor
of this bill which passed the legis-
lature. You can say also that the
lawyers who advised the governor
that the bill would wipe out the
authority of the attorney general
to appoint assistant attorneys gen.
eral to enforce the prohibitory
law, or affect their compensation
in any way, is the prize ass and
his ears would over-top the flag
staff on the court house DOME"
1t happens that it was the adj
wise of former Att. Gen. Fred 5.
Jackson that led the governor to
veto the bill and to hold that it
would repeal the present statutes
permitting the attorney general to
appoint assistants to enforce the
prohibitory law.

Don't Quit.

Fight and the crowd stays with you;
Quit, and you're out OF the race;
For he who quits goes down and out,
And he who fights slips into his place
Dig, and you reach rock-bottom;
Quit, aud you'll find but sand.
For the treasure Is for the digger
For the gutter. the rlfed land.
Pillow. and you turn smooth burrows;
Quit, and your tools gather rust;
Root, and you soon learn to burrow;
Keep Striving, and pay you it must.
The world lays its coin on the winner;
For the shirk, 1t has no use at all;
So. up with you: Wrestle. you sinner
Or don't howl II you go to the wall

Senator Stephenson was for NAM
years the political hacker of LaFol

years was accustomed to spending hi.
money lavishly to forward the politi

mated by those who have been on the
inside of Wisconsin politics for the
past fifteen years that Stephenson has
sunk 100000 in aiding LaFollette to
achieve his ambitions in various ways.
Stephenson bought a newspaper and
spent large sums preaching through
its columns to the people of Wiscon-
sin that LaFollette was a great man
and that he should be given the con
fidenee of the people. He backed
Lafollette for governor, and elected
him to that position.
