result of the primary Aswell men all
over the State declared their support
of Judge Hall and with them a large
number of Michel men. who were
angry because of the knitting given
Governor Sanders by the ring in the
city. The tide has turned against
Michel SO strongly and rapidly that
he and his friends recognized the
futility of q second primary and he
withdrew Saturday from the ace for
governor. Judge Hall is now the
nominee.

Pushcart Markets.
From the Boston Herald


The campaign for pushcart markets in
New York seems likely to succeed Under
the direction of Mrs. Julian Heath, presi-
dent of the Housewives League. which
Is working for more public markets Of
every kind. several city officials recently
made tour of the pushcart districts
They saw miles of pushcarts all over the
East Side. filling the streets so as to in
terfere with traffic. They also witnessed
the sale OF food from carts surrounded
by every kind of sewage. To abolish
the pushcart huckster would be q simple
way OF clearing the street and eliminat-
ing one source of danger to the public
health. but the investigators found that
the pushcart does much to reduce the
cost OF living for New York S poor Push
cart prices for the necessaries of life
ranged from 10 to % per cent below those
asked in stores in the same districts
Moreover. the number of pushcart ped
dlers Is large, and they would suffer niue h
hardship II they should suddenly be de-
prived of their livelihood.
Public pushcart markets. avoid these
difficulties. The city owns spaces of
vacant land in the heart OF the congested
districts which could be made availa BILE
at slight expense. a public fish mxrket
has already been established upon land
owned by the city under the approa oh
to one of the East river bridges. The
hsh peooierS pay nominal sum to the
city for the use of their stands, and IN
return have the opportunity to display
and sell their wares under conditions
more favorable than in the public streets
In those sections formerly frequented
by the fishcarts the work of the street
cleaning department is made more easy
To this example the numerous civic
organizations which are in favor of such
markets recur. The board of aldermen
has agreed that the plan is worth trying,
and an experimental market may soon
be I'm operation. If it works as we'll as
expected il will prove a strong argument
for the establishment of more public
markets in all parts of the city. The
Housewives League and other organiza-
tions see in such public markets a partial
solution of the problems involved in the
high cost of living.

WHAT'S THE REASON
Many Opelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

Without knowing the cause.
There are scores Of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of fltering the
blood and that is the root Of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in
Opelousas.
Landry ST., Opelousas, La,
says: "A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages
of the kidney secretion accom-
paniediby pain in his book. These
troubles, | believe, were brought
on by hard work and heavy lift
ing. The use Of three boxes
was so effective that he was CIV
en- a very high opinion of this
remedp. He was relieved Of the
pains in his back and the kidney
secretions were restored to their
normal condition

LAMB FOR POSITION.
Want Lamb Assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture.

Richmond, Nov 1S.-A movement
has been set on foot by friends Of
Congressman John Lamb, looking
forward to the placing of the con-
gresham in the berth Of assistant
secretary of agriculture. Captain
Lambs name has also been mentioned
in connection with the race for the
postmastership Of Richmond by local
friends, but they feel that this posi-
ton is hardly adequate as an express
sion of the appreciation of his many
years of service in the national house.
The movement to secure for him the
better berth is one in which friends 0.
his entire district are said to be in
tercsted.
1t is considered that Captain Lambs
experience as chairman of the agri-
cultural committee Of the house for
so many years peculiarly fits him for
the place, as he is familiar with ali
the workings Of the machinery in the
department and in touch with every
situation concerning the country's ar
ricultural needs and development.
