In the United States and the deadly
germs claim more victims in cities
than in rural districts, due no doubt
to the increased number of indoor
workers in combining quarters and
their lack of sunshine.
Tubercslar germs always attack when
the system is weakened from colds or
sickness, overwork, overstrain, combining
duties or any drain which has reduced the
resistive forces of the body. But nature
always provides corrector and the best
physicians emphasize that during chang
ing climate our blood should be kept rich
and pure and active by taking Scott $
Emulsion after meals; the cod liver oil in
Scott's Emulsion warns the body by en-
riching the blood-it peculiarly strength
ems the lungs and upbuilds the resistive
forces of the body to avoid colds and
prevent consumption.
1t you work indoors, tire easily, feel
ianguid or nervous, Scott s Emulsion is
the most strengthening food medicine
known; it builds energy and strength
and Is totally free from alcohol or any

The republican and progressive
parties practically are one on the main
issues before the people, including
tariff and currency reforms. The
modern republican idea is a tariff
commission, permanent body to
compile information for the use OF
congress, In aid Of legislation. The
democrats don't recognize the neces-
sity for information in enacting laws.
Their one aim is to gain the lowest

Criticism OF Wilson Becomes caustlo.
Senator Cummins delivered q
speech at the Lincoln day dinner OF

senator expressed some very caustic
opinions of President Wilson, whom
he accused of selling the legislative

"The Appomatox Of 1922 Is the
way the senator alluded to the party's
defeat, and he declared that disaster
had come then because the standard
bearers would not bring the colors up
to the firing line. They had failed to
grapple with the problems that con
fronted the nation. he said, and in
spite of the universal demand Of the
party for downward revision Of the
tariff, for currency reform, for better
regulation Of the trusts and for the
passage OF laws lettering labor con-
ditions, had neglected to accept the
responsibility for yielding to these
demands. He attacked bitterly the
disproportionate representation In the
convention Of delegates from the south
and decried the rejection Of those
chosen at official primaries. which
were two OF the complaints upon
which Colonel Roosevelt based his
withdrawal from the Chicago conyen-
tion. That was as far as he got in
