The Congressional
Outlook

As the date of the primary
election on August 4 approaches,
the voters of the Third congress
sional district are discussing
seriously the problem as to who
is the strongest Democratic can
didate. The Republican, Pro-
gressive and Socialist candidates
have no opposition and are all
Crawford county men. This leads
the voters of the Third congress
sional district to weigh carefully
the question as to who will be
the strongest candidate to oppose
these.
It is but reasonable to say that
if a candidate nominated by the
democrats on August 4 will de-
velop sufficient strength to defeat
the other nominees, that candi-
date must come from Crawford
county, as none of the other
Democratic candidates for nomi-
nation on August 4 can accom-
plish this much to be desired re-
suit on account of their location
in the district, no matter what
their qualifications for the posi-
tion may be.
P.J. Mckinley can carry Craw-
ford county at the general cleo
ton in November, and he's devel-
oped surprising strength in the
other counties in the district in
the last few days. He is a young
vigorous democrat in close touch
with national and state affairs.
He favors revision of the tariff
down ward, the income tax, the
currency bill, and realizing how
hard it is for the farmer to obtain
money, is an earnest advocate Of
the rural credit or farm loan bill,
which..is much discussed and will
probably come before the next
session of congress. Being iden-
tilted with financial interests, it
is safe to say, that If Mr.. McGin-
ley is the next congressman from
this district, he would be- placed
on a committee looking to this
legislation.
When the drought of last year
laid waste Kansas farms, before
he was even thought of as a can
didate, P. ]. Mckinley sent a
check for 500 to the fuEd to buy
seed wheat, to assure the bounti-
full crop which has blessed the
farmers this year.
A vote for ]. P. Mckinley on
August 9Th means the election Of
an aggressive young democrat to
make the race at the November
election-one who, if elected, will
be a representative of the third
congressional district, ever ready
to work in the interests of his
constituents. If the other party
candidates are be defeated at the
general election in November, p.
J. Mckinley is the man to accom-
pliSh this.

There was a big crowd of peo-
pie in town last Saturday, but it
was a very noticeable fact that
the majority of those from the
country were ladies. The men
have not the time just now to
come to town, unless it is absOl-
utely necessary. They are try
ing to catch up with their work.
But the ladies can do just as
good buying as the men, and in
a great many instances much
better.

Not for ten years have the
farmers been so busy with work
on the farm as they are this year.
What with a big oats crop, and
a big wheat crop, they are busy,
indeed. Even the candidates
have not had much of a chance
to talk with them. The farmer
is more interested in what he is
raising than he is in the candi-

Concerning Insomnia.

The chief cause of sleeplessness, said
DR.. Robert Jones' a London specialist on
mental diseases. in an address before the
international congress of medicine, lis
mental or physical pain or suffering in
some form or another.
Pain is a sensation experienced by all
reflective living things. 1t has many def
nitions. but is best described as an un-
easiness. varying from feeling of slight
discomfort to extreme distress; and il
may arise from the arrangement of any
function, also from violence. pressure or
undue tension in any part of the body
1t has many synonyms. anxiety. grief
solicitude, diSquietude, mental distress,
uneasineSs, and. according to its quality
or intensity. it may amount to agony,
torture or torment.
The treatment OF SleeplessnesS is to
break the habit which should be done
by removing the causes. and these may
be classified as either physical. mental or
moral" further asserted DIR. Roberts, and
he then urged the necessity. of sleep. de-
claring it to be more essential than food,
and that where drugs were resorted to
they should be taken only when pre-
scribed by a responsible physician. as all
sleep-inducing drugs act as heart de-
pressants. The scientist attributed the
increase in insanity among BOYS under
fifteen and girls between fifteen and
twenty that has been recorded in the last
decade to insufficient sleep.
A change of scene often benefits the
victim of insomnia-a place not far dis
tant from the home will sometimes suf-
fee. Fresh air in abundance is an abso-
lutte necessity if one would sleep well.
single window open a few inches at
the top and bottom is not enough. Open
every window. and secure the effect of
onsn-air sleep. A thin bread -and-butter
sandwich sprinkled with cayenne pepper
and eaten after midnight will sometimes
induce sleep when other means fail.
