Funny things happen In amateur pol
itice. A state chairman" OF political
party the past week announced thru
his organ that he had made the start
ling discovery that a candidate tor
county Office could be nominated with
out having his name printed on the pri-
mary ballot, that in counties where
nominees have not been made 1t Is
only necessary to write in the name OF
a candidate and the county board Will
have to declare him the nominee OF his
party. AS matter of fact this is one
OF the commonest things in politics.
Where there has been no candidate
having his name printed on the ballot
written names may easily nominate.
The primary Law was never intended 10
shut out candidates but to facilitate
candidates in getting their names be-
fore the people.
In some places there is still misun-
Outstanding OF the plain fact that the
head of the ticket in Iowa is officially
the candidate for governor. The Iowa
primary law makes the vote on gov
ernor the test of party strength. II
recognizes nothing else. The office OF
attorney general has had to answer
several inquiries lately touching this
point. and principally in regard TO APP
pointment of judges of election and
the printing of election notices.
John T. Hamilton is said to have
recently laid down one plank in MS
platform. In speech at Centerville
he is said to have declared that he
would favor abolition of the state board
OF health. At the last session of the
legislature the board was reorganized
and placed on a better business basis
than ever before. with small member
ship. Ii has general supervision OF
health matters in the state. While un-
der ordinary conditions il may not
have much TO do it will be recalled that
when the strange epidemic of infancile
paralysis came along few years ago
there was plenty Of work 10 be done
and il was done. II is board con-
stan,ly preparing for emergencies that
may never come. But state without
a board Of health would indeed DO a
novelty.

Apply Sloan's Freely for Lumbago

Your attacks of lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by a
simple application of Sloan's Liniment
on the back and loins. Lumbago is a
form of rheumatism, and yields per-
fectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, limbers up the back and makes
it feel fine. Get a bottle4of Sloan,s
Liniment for 25c of any druggist and
have it in your house-against colds,
sore and swollen joints, rheumatism,
neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments.
Your money back if not satisfied, but
does give almost instant relief.

First Game Law.

The first ''game law for the protec-
ton Of wild animals and birds was en-
acted in 1868 by, William the Conquer
or. This decree Of the Norman king
was called a forest law, but its princ1-
pal purpose was the preservation OF
game Forfeiture of property was
made the penalty for killing or dis
abling any kind of wild beast, While
the slayer of stag, buck or bear, il
convicted, had his eyes put out These
laws, Of course, applied only to the
masses, since the royalty and nobility
were permitted to kill as much as they
pleased. In fact, the principal purpose
of the pioneer ''game law" was to pro-
vide sport for the few. The first par
liamentary game law in England was
passed in 1896. Game laws in Ameri-
ca have become increasingly strict OF
late years, but they were adopted too
late to save many species, notably the
buffalo, from almost complete eXtinc-
tion.-New York World.

FOR HOW LONG
EdgertOn Raises a Pertinent
Question

When a neighbor tells US that he has

first question that naturally arises is,
''How long will he keep well?' Tenn
porary relief is one thing, but a lasting
cure is altogether different. There is
nothing temporary about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills as the following
Edgerton evidence proves beyond a
doubt
John Dave, retired farmer, Broad
way and Fulton SITS, Edgerton, Wis,
says:-.'I began sufferigg from weak

John o,Groat,s House.

John O'Groat was the reputed build
er of the John O'Groat house, the ruins
of which are still pointed out at Dun
cans Bay Head, on the northernmost
point of the mainland of Scotland.
Tradition is not entirely agreed as to
the personality Of John O'Groat. One
legend states that he was poor man
who used to ferry passengers over to
the island of Storma for groat. But
the most popular story makes him the
descendant Of a Hollander, De Groot,
who in the reign of James Nv. settled
in the vicinity, and it goes on to tell
how John and his seven cousins would
yearly meet to celebrate the memory
of their ancestor and have yearly
quarrel over the question of proceed
ence until finally John invented a
method of settling the difficulty He
built an eight sided house of one room,
with eight windows and eight doors,
and an octagonal table in the center of
the room, so that all might enter stimuli
taneously, each to his own door, and
there might be no head of the table.
