If you are housewife you cannot reason
ably hope to be healthy or beautiful by wash

all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at
night. You must get out into the open air

keep your stomach and bowels in good order
by taking Chamberlain Tablets when need
ed, you should become both healthy and
beautiful. Sold by Kings City Drug Store.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY

1t may perhaps be too early to ex-
press an UNQUALIFIED opinion of the di-
rect primary, owing to the fact that
so far the law has not passed the ex-
perimental stage, and it may be posi-
bic to so amend as to make it capable
of giving a fair expression of the
wishes of the voters of the respective
parties.
So far as the presidential primaries
are concerned, however, it has utterly
failed to do this. Take California, for
instance. By the best information OBJ
tainable the total voting strength of
the state was placed at 1,025, 066, Of
which number the Republicans were
credited with 6SS,015, Democrats 262,-
255, and Socialists 74,796. The result
of the primaries held the other day
shows a total Republican vote of 243,-
1923, with 56,073 cast for the Demo
cratic candidates.
As will De seen at a glance there is
something radically wrong with these
figures. AS everyone knows the aver
age Democrat never misses a chance to
vote at least one at every election,
while Republicans are VIGOROUSLY care
less in that respect, casting nothing
ike a Iull vote except at presidential
elections and rarely attending a pri-
mary of any sort. The figures, how
ever, indicate that approximately 80
per cent of the Republicans of the
state expressed their preference for
presidential candidates, while the
Democratic vote amounted to a tridle
more than 20 per cent, with no Social
list vote at all. 1t is fair to assume,
however, that the Democrats and So
c~ialists east 30 per cent of their total
strength, which would amount to 1885,
$50 votes. Deducting from this total
the votes cast for Clark and Wilson
we have 112,457 Democratic and So
cialist votes that must be divided be-
tween Roosevelt and LaFollette, and
in this division it is probable that
fully 100000 of them were cast for
Roosevelt. AS he received 1926
votes to 67,045 for Taft, by deducting
the 0 1000 Democratic and Socialist
votes he would have left 1896, OF
about one-half the number of bona
fide Republican votes received by the
president.

POOR LITTLE MOTHER FILM
FLAMs CHARITY BRIGADE AT
NASHVILLE, is REPoRT-WAs
IN JAIL.

Nashville, Oct 26.-When Rosalind
Werster. pathetic and petite. was re-
leased at federal court last week, SO
pathetic and so petite was she that
officials and bystanders, keenly sympa-
thizing with the young woman in her
misfortune, at her suggestion con-
tributed enough money to pay her rail-
road fare back TO Winchester, where.
according to Rosalind herself, her baby
awaited her return. Had the story
ended here there would be several men
in Nashville who could think with
pride Of the charitable deed. But the
sequel to the story, which cropped out
Monday, was that when Rosalind pur-
chased her ticket at the union station
she flashed roll of bills that would
cover the salaries of her several bene-
factors for several days.
Rosalind was charged with selling
intoxicating liquors without having
secured the necessary permission of
the internal revenue department, which
same offense is commonly known as
bootlegging. On account of the young
woman having remained in jail for
over three months awaiting trial. she
was released.

made by a burglar, armed himself

the coming of the robber. The cellar

So it had, as an examination soon at
