PUT "eHoST" ON DEFENSIVE
Irishman Was in Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.

To illustrate the ever-ready wit of
the Irish the following story was told
at a banquet held recently
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to short
en- the distance. A group of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun
at his expense. Accordingly they
found sunken grave across which
his path lay, dug it out and covered it
with boards in such a manner that he
must fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom of the hole, striving to eX-
tricate himself, three or four of his
friends. attired in white sheets and
other ghostly accoutrements, sudden
ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave?'
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort
Faith, and what are you doing out
of it?' he asked.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

81 can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. To-day my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used.
(Signed) Miss Eta Narber, R. F. D. 2,
Spring Lake, Mich; Sept. 26, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample

NO WORDS WASTED
A Swift Transformation Briefly De-
scribed.

About food, the following brief but
emphatic letter from a Georgia wom-
an goes straight to the point and is
convincing.
My frequent attacks of indigestion
and palpitation of the heart cul-
minated in sudden and desperate ill
ness, from which l arose enfeebled in
mind and body. The doctor advised
me to live on cereals, but none of
them agreed with me until l tried
Grape-Nuts food and Postum.
'The more / used of them the more
/ felt convinced that they were just
what / needed, and in short time
they made a different woman of me.
My stomach and heart troubles disap-
peared as if by magic, and my mind
was restored and is as clear as it ever
was.

idly that my friends were astonished.

me so greatly that / am glad to bear

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried 1t
send your name and address to Dr. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, and he will be very glad to
send sample bottle for trial.

Of T2XRUOn.

At Pineville, Wyoming Coun-
~, State Auditor Darst delivered
his first speech of the campaign
before large and approving au-
dience. The address constitutes
an able contribution to the Re
publican literature of the cam
paign. It is by zone who
KNOWS" Every voter should
read it carefully, and especially
every taxpayer. Mr. Darst spoke
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen-As
Auditor of the State, I. believe
that it is due the people who
have paid their money in various
forms of taxation for the support
of the State government to know
by whom it was contributed, and
for what and how it was e7l-
pended.
Before going into detail few
general remarks relative to the
former conditions that existed
prior to the Republican party
coming into control OF the affairs
of state may be of interest. When
the Republican party came into
power in this State, almost six
teen years ago, although the
Democratic party had been col
lecting from all the property OF
the State IS cents on the 500
valuation for State and State
school purposes, we found an
empty treasury, and our State
institutions In sore need of funds
to meet the demands of a grow
ing State, but Notwithstanding
the fact that we are now spend
ing twice as much money for our
humane and educational institu-
tons as did the Democrats under
Governor MacCorkle's admins
tEatien, we have reduced the
State tax from IS cents on the
500 valuation to.I cent, and had
IN the. State fund on September / ),
1919. more than SI.I3o.ooo.
I believe you will agree with
me that these facts are remark
able, and the question would nat
1lrally come to those not familiar
with the changes that have taken
place, "F1ow were these things
brought about?" The tax laws
were passed some seven years
ago. I have mentioned the con-
ditions as we found them, rela-
tive to the amount collected by
the Democratic party to support
the government. Not only were
they collecting IS cents on the
500 valuation of all property IN
the State, but the valuation was
very unequal Some counties
and individuals were paying
much more than their fair share
of the running expenses OF the
State, while other counties and
individuals were paying much
less. which is shown by the fact
that In some counties the prop
ertv was assessed as low as IS
cents on the 500 and in other as
high as 70 cents. We provided
for the re-assessment of all real
estate, which resulted in more
uniform assessment than had
ever before been achieved. Then
we provided for the gradual elm
nation Of the State task, which
has been completed this year.
1t may be Of interest to see
where the SI,5oo,ooo annually
