Error in Amendment.

An error in the act of 1914 amend
ing the primary election law has
caused numerous inquiries from coun-
ty clerks to be received by Secretary
of State G. F. Crecelius. The act of
1912 provided that the clerks shoula
have printed for each party SO per
cent more ballots than were cast by
the party at the last presidential cleo
ton This was amended in 1914 by
adding paragraph providing for wom-
en- voting; but in quoting the law, as it
would appear amended, the statute
provides for printing rs per cent more
ballots than were cast by the party at
the last presidential election.

The men, by the exercise of great
patience, although neither knew

neck halter.
The fishing over the men set to
work reharnessing the horse They
round that they could manage every

couldn't get the bit into the horses
mouth, for he wouldn't open it. Final

but to wait

Explaining the TeIecraph.

AS a general rule, the telegraph no
longer arouses the wonder and awe
that it did in our grandfathers. In re-
mote countries. however. there are
still people who have never heard of
it, or who are unable to understand
it. Das Echo tells of the perplexity
that the telegraph caused in a small
village of Bosnia
The government had installed a

What is the meaning of this wire?"
asked the astonished inhabitants of a
village through which the line hap.
pened to pass.
1T is a telegraph, said the head.
man of the village, who had been in
consultation with the officials. One
can send a message along this wire,
straight from here to STEAMBOAT"
The villagers were incredulous.
THAT is impossible How can a mes
sage run along a wire?"
The headman thought awhile: then
he hit upon the proper explanation.
Imagine, he said. "a dog that is ter
rlbly long, and whose tail is stretched
like the wire on these poles: imagine
that his tail is SO long that he reaches
from here to Stamboul. Now, suppose
we pinched his tail here Wouldn't

was dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling off the itching was more
than | could stand at times. The first
year | did not mind it so much as it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year it advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. AT night time often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.
Il bought lots of salves and tried
many different kinds of medicine but
without any success. l got a cake OF

A Physicians Advice.
I'D certainly give most anything to
be able TO fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman, Such result Is not
impossible. despite past failures. Ihln
people are victims of mal-nutrition, a
condition which prevents the fatty ele-
ments Of food from being taken up by
the blood as they are when the powers
of nutrition are normal. Instead OF get
ting into the blood, all the fat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intes-
tines until they pass from the body as
waste
TO correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount OF fat
the nutritiVe processes must be artln-
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating a Sargol tab
let with every meal. Sargol is Sclen-
tific combination Of six of the best
strength giving, fat-producing elements
kneWn to the medical profession. Taken
with meals, 1t mixes with the food and
turns the sugars and starches into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and
blood and its rapid effect is remark
able Reported gains Of from ten to
twenty-five pounds in a single month
are by no means infrequent. Yet its
action is perfectly natural and abso
lutely harmless. Sargol is sold by the
Jacobs Pharmacy and other good drug

contains a guarantee of weight IN
