Returns are not obtainable on either
of the state tickets below Governor,
and owing to the fact of there being
80 little opposition on the democratic
county ticket. returns are very mea'
ger, but indications are that the apove
will be correct.
The vote on County Judge between
Hosford and Ward is 20 very close
that it will take the official count t.
determine which is nominated.
Final returns msy make some chan.
ges in the above, especially in tn
democratic county ticket.
Ed Johnson's majority in the county
is probably over 800.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination OF simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
it's effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
S100 bottles If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to DIR. w. B.
Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

brute like Billings for brother. Poor
little girl! 1t was beastly shame.

Bad Teeth Go with Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs Of a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance Of
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision Of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man, brain
and teeth arc inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase of cunning has
reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders of di-
gestiOn show that the balance is IN.
satisfactory.

The Decline of the Senate

|
 1 Senator Burton of Ohio, in announcing his candidacy for reelection, raised question that is far from new, but, never l theless, extremely timely. He proposes l to let Ohio decided not merely whom she wants for senator. but what she wants; whether a statesman or q messenger boy; whether student and debater of national questions, or an agent of local demands; whether a contributor to the nation s
 counsels. or Surveyor of federal patron age.
 The American people, we are glad to observe are just now getting seriously concerned over this and other questions
 about the Senate. Many expressions of
 that concern have been evoked by the
 much-regreted death of Senator Rayner of Maryland. For together with the feel ing that in Senator Rayner the country has lost a man with high conception of the senatorial office. there has also ap- peared very general feeling that the number of men of that character left in the chamber is distressingly small It is felt, too. that this has not always been the case. Most Americans. we think. are proud of the Senate. and not without req son, for at more than one period of its history 1t has been the greatest legisia- tive chamber in the world.
 Is it entitled to any such encomium at present? With all due allowance for the tendency to praise the past and depre- ciate the present. thoughtful Americans feel that it is not. They feel that states manship in the Senate is today at an un- usually low ebb.
