 NEW SECRETARY TO TAKE HILLES PLACE
pFREaTDEET TO BE NOsTFTED OF HIS DENOMINATION AT
 WASHINGTON.

Washington, July 10-President Taft's campaign for reelection was formally launched today when James B. Reynolds, newly elected secretary of the Republican national commit tee, left for New York to establish temporary headquarters. He will be followed Monday by Chairman Hilles, who will resign Saturday as the Pres ident's secretary. Today Secretary HiIles began winding up his secretar- iai duties and President Taft started scratching for his successor. The Executive will not attempt to eke through the balance of his term with out a secretary, but will fill the va- -cancy caused by HiileS loss, next
 week.
 h Most prominently mentioned to succeed Hilles are Assistant Secretary Rudolph Forster, ''Gus'' Karger, the Taft publicity agent and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Robert Bailey.
 Chairman Hilles indicated today that little would be done toward ac-
 tive campaigning until the sub-com-
 nittee of the national committee
 meets on July 19, in New York, to elect a treasurer. executive and ad- yiEtory committees.
 Although tftular head of the cam paign. Chairman Hilles will have the active aid and counsel of practical politicians of the party like William Barnes, IT,, of New York, A. M Ste- venson of Colorado. Jim" Watson, and former Senator Hemenway of In- diana.
 Chairman HIlles today expressed the. opinion that three headuuarters. at, New York, Chicago and on the Pacific coast, are almost certain to pc established. Portland, Ore, is his choice for the western headquarters Within a few weeks final arrange ments will be made for the notifica- fion of President Taft. He desires to have the ceremony here instead of at his summer home at Beverly Mass, and the date has been set for early in August President Taft's speech accepting the nomination will sound the Republican battlecry and define the party's attitude toward the progressive party.

POLI'S

The Deep Purple has scored heav fly at Polls this week. While it is admittedly melodramatic in it's tenden- cy, it has ne resemblance to the cheap shockers that are generally character f2ed as melodramas. At no time does it fail to carry conviction. Several of the characters in s"The Deep Purple are high class confidence men who play for big stakes in daring way. In contrast to these are the intended victim, his friends and associates, not the conventional dolls of the familiar melodrama, but creatures of flesh and blood and brain enough of the latter to make their contest with the crooks one of absorbing interest. The re- demption of a crook is always an in teresting topic and while it is sub sidiary in importance in '-The Deep Purple" it is nevertheless vital to the story and has been handled as Paul Armstrong alone can handle such a subject. MT. Melrose, Miss ~Adair, MT. Macauley, and MT. Byron are de- serving of especial commendation for their clever work.

WESTPORT

Westport, July 10-No arrests as yet have been made of the vandab
 who last week broke several windows and did other damage at the Greens s Farms Congrega ational church. Ed
 ward Durfee and Edward Corcoran ad- init that in a spirit of fun on the night before the Fourth they did en- ter the church and did toll the bell
 but they deny all knowledge of dam
 age to the church property. When the bell for services last Sunday morning he found the bell rope con- siderably tangled making the ringing of the bell impossible. The two
 young men state that when they left the church things remained as they clined to the belief that others en- tered the church the night before the Fourth with the same intentions as Durfee and Corcoran, that of celebrat- ing the evening by toliing the bell, but that they carried their depreda- tions too far starting rough house resulting in the smashing of the yWin- dows and other damage.
 The inmates of the Town Farm are subject to the intense heat these days in the same degree as those who are fortunate enough to be able to SUD- ply a home for themselves The oon- fnement of the farm rankles so much on the nerves of some of the olda folks that they steal away at times, long enough to consume hops in plenty and wander back to the farm. There they pick on their neighbors and a rough house is started Monday night the inmates were having high old time when call was sent to Sheriff Meade to hurry before the roof fell in. When the sheriff reached the farm the dis turbers had taken to their heels and had flown across the fields.
 A happy souse, who was well able to take care of himself, at the center yesterday morning, was thanking his lucky stars that he had not imbibed to such a great extent that the town would have to board him over night. This is an awful town to get ar rested in for being intoxicated" he said. "Why, they'd give me life if II was up before them,' he added, land when I'd die they'd send for my brother to make him serve ten years more.''
 The hot spell of the past few days displayed the worst side of the dis positions of many people, while oth- ers seemed to pay little attention to the heat.

NERVOUS PEOPLE MUST
CURE THEMSELVES
The First Step Is To Stop the Cause of the Trouble Then
Build Up the Strength of the Disordered Nerves.

The first thing t. do in nervous de-
bility is to stop the cause of the trou-
BILE, if possible, whether it is irregular
living, worry, or whatever it may be.
Then the nerves must be given special
nourishment and the blood must be
kept pure and rich. This is the mis-
sion of DIR. Williams Pink Pills and
this is why the pills have been used
with such great success in nervous
troubles that did not yield to ordinary
methods of treatment.
Nervous exhaustion early shows
itself in the decreased activity of the
organs that normally cast out the
waste products of the body. The kid
neyS, skin and bowels are deprived of
some of their energy and a part of the
poisonous waste materials, which they
readily pass off during health are turn
ed back into the blood.
The result is plain. The blood. filled
with impurities, is unable to give even
its usual amount of nourishment to the
nerves and a general breakdown fol-
lows. This is the explanation of the
depressed and irritable feeling palIor,
loss of spirits, headaches, shortness of
breath and poor digestion of the nerv-
Gus sufferer.
The tonic treatment for nervous
troubles. by building up the blood and
supplying it with added oxygen, burns
up and casts off the impurities and
gives to the nerves the elements they
need. In no other way can these
elements be conveyed to the nerves ex-
cept through the blood.

TO PALE THIN PEOPLE
Druggist StansfieId Offers To Pay For
SamOse If 1t Does Not Make
Thin Peple Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough. but their food is not pro-
perly digested and does them no good
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who are
pale weak and thin. 1t mingles with
the food and aids assimilation. so that
when taken for a short time, nature
will soon assert her normal powers,
and the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should
use Samose. The man who wants t.
be strong and well and gain health and
good flesh will find his desires accom-
pliShed by SamOse-
