THAT THE Gubernatorial campaign
will be more than state affair is plain
to be seen. Having succeeded in getting
his man Fielder nominated President
Wilson will bend his energies towards
having the former elected. He fully
realizes the importance of holding New
Jersey in the Democratic column. in
order to give endorsement to the national
administration. The platform to be
adopted by the Democratic party to-day
will undoubtedly contain suggestions
from the active brain of President Will
SON. Secretary of State Bryan, having
finished his Chautauqua engagements,
will be sent to New JERSEY to speak in
behalf of Fielder and it is said the Presi-
dent himself may feel the necessity of
making speech or two on the same
line. Public patronage will have much
TO do with Fielder's campaign. The
terms OF seven of the present Judges of
the supreme Court will expire during
the term OF the next Governor and as
patronage has played an important part
in national issues it is fair to presume
that the same idea will be kept up in the
state campaign on the Democratic side.
The Philadelphia Record, in its usual
interesting letter on the political situa-
ton, says: 1T is generally recognized
that the present contest in New JERSEY is
to be the real test of the strength of the
administration at Washington. So that.
II the coming battle should result in dis
aster to the Democrats, with all the adj
yantages they have, it will have its
serious effects at Washington, and in
the same channels upon next years
campaign for the election of the new
Congress. With this idea every one
seems to be in accord and the good people
OF the state, who have had enough of
Wilson and his tactics should see to it
that Edward Casper Stokes is elected the
next Governor of New Jersey.

Denver, July 22.-That the Den
yer and Rio Grande and the Colorado

terady by =. 8. Murphy. owner. OF
the Huerfano Coal company, opesat-
ing In Huerfano and Las AnImas
counties.
Murphy testified that not only did
he lost money when forced To close
down the mines because Of the dis
criminxtion. hut that when work
was slack the miners left and he was
put to great trouble and expense to
get them back or 10 get others to
take their places. 80.
The charge In made that the two
railroads deprived him Of the cars
In order to discriminate against him
and In favor OF the Victor-American
Fuel company. which has mines on
the Colorado and Southern railroad.
II Ia claimed that the Colorado and
Southern was given cars for the Vic
tor American use by the two roads
In preference to the mines Of tn"
HuerfsnO company. Notwithstanding
the fnct that the Colorado and S0u-
,hern Ix considered u foreign road.

MAY BE BEAUTIFUL AT FORTY
Woman's Complexion and Figure Can
Be Preserved by Proper Diet
and Fresh Air.

Women should be specially careful
to choose the right diet. For the
Jake of her beauty, if nothing else,
woman should choose the right
amount Of nutritive foods, and avoid
the temptations of overeating. Coars-
er bread, more fruit, less meat and
especially moderation, or total absti-
hence, in the use of tea and coffee
will secure relief from the all too re-
tarded action of the digestive organs
which is the curse of so many women
who lead sedentary lives. No woman
who eats properly and gets plenty Of
fresh air and exercise will have q
poor complexion nor get too fat; nei-
Their will she suffer from nerves and
hysteria.
The woman who lives right, thinks
right and works right may be more
beautiful at forty or sixty than at
twenty, and the preservation of the
divine gift of beauty is a duty that
no woman should neglect for her
,wn sake and the sake of the world
sbout her.-Woman's Home Com
panion.
Dewey County advocate. [volume] (Timber Lake, S.D.) 1910-1913, 1913-03-07
TROOPS GUARD HOLY CARPET
5edouin Tribes Of the Desert Would
Like to Steal the Sacred
Islam Object.

As is we'll known to Mohamme-
aans, but to few Europeans, the
Holy Carpet always travels with an
escort to and from the holy cities of
Medina and Mecca. This escort con-
lists of 800 to $50 men Of one of the
Egyptian infantry regiments with
two small field pieces and two quick
firing guns, and about forty mount
I'd men, together with their horses.
The object of such a strong escort
is to protect the sacred object from
falling into the hands Of the Bedouin
tribes, through whose countries it
must pass at various stages of its
Journey and who are also on the
lookout for it, as the carpet is worth
! fine ransom. Desperate attacks are
pot infrequently made upon the
Holy Carpet by the Bedouiins Of the
