to be humbugged by incompetent men
who make extravagant promises and
keep people dwelling on their ailments
and taking innumerable drugs.
That drugs have helpful influence
there is little doubt, but it is not true
that there is a drug for every ailment
or disease. The man who does most
different things to accomplish a given
end is the man who knows least about
the one certain manner by means OF
which to get results. So 1t is with
medicine. If in doubt do not take
any, having satisfied yourself that
you have the right one, stick to it.
No physician who knows what he Is
doing comes in one day with rem
edy and changes it the next and so
on urti! by some means the patient
gets we'll. Most disease processes
take time and most drugs do not have
immediate effect. The drugs which
have the most rapid action are the
n ost dangerous ones. So what one,
If they ire sane and want to do them
selves right, does is to proceed a lit
tie more slowly and good deal more
safely. By the time person has
taken four or five kinds Of different
things he does not know what has
brought about the results. We are
trying to get away from the idea of
drugging; still there are people who
are not content to do the rational
! thing and want something every fif-
teen minutes. And Of course it is not
hard to find some one to give what
the public wants rather than what
they need.
AS have said often in public adj
dress, the honest doctor claims more
for his directions than he does his
cures. Usually the man who makes
:he most fuss is doing nothing more.
Teaching people to lead simple lives,
to care for their health, to think
health rather than disease is the true
physicians function.
Often nothing better can happen to
an individual than spell of sickness,
because then he goes to some man
and is put into position to guard
his health and put more time in rest
and sleep tran he is naturally in
clined. 1t is true that a person does
not learn while asleep, but this can
be said for the s1eepy-head; they live
a long time and do not develop case
of nerves.
Many people try 20 live lives &C
cording to other peoples standard
Simply because Tom needs only five
hours sleep is no sign that Dick car
keep up at it. 1t is like trying to
keep up with another mans financial
expenditure if you haven't the same
income-sooner or later you go to the
wall. If you need medicine, take It
after competent advice; if it is no;
necessary let it alone. There are few
| diseases where they change medicine
every twenty-four hours, so if you
get the right thing at first you do mol
need to make the druggist rich.

MARTIN H. GLYNN WINS
IN NEW YORK ELECTION
Whitman and Davenport Are Also
Named-Ambassado Gerard
Slated for Senator.

New York, Sept 30.-Martin h.
Glynn, Democrat; Charles S. whit
man. Republican, and Frederick NJ
Davenport, Progressive, will be the
standard bearers of their respective
parties in the November gubernatorlal
elections. Returns from the statewide
primary, which are coming IN Slowly,
indicate that all the candidates have
been nominated by overwhelming ma
jorities.
The senatorial race was settled in
an equally decisive manner, so far as
the returns at this hour indicate, by
the Nomination on the Democratic
ticket of Ambassador James w. Ge-
rard, who was opposed by Franklin
d. Roosevelt and James S. McDonogh,
and by the Republican choice of Will
liam NJ. Calder in preference to either
David Jayne Hill of James w. Wads-
worth, Jr. The Progressives had no
contest for this office, cambridge
Colby being the only candidate.
The only race that was at all close
was the Progressive fight for gov
ernor and that was close only during
the first few hours after the closing OF
the polls. When the returns from
Greater New York were all that were
coming in former Governor Sulzer
kept up to within score or more OF
votes of Davenport's totals. Later re-
ports from upstate, however, showed
strong trend to Davenport and later
some Sulzer supporters were con-
ceding his nomination. Davenport
himself claimed that he would poll five
votes to Suffers one.
Justice Samuel Seabury, who pre-
sided at the second trial of Charles
Becker, was nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate for associate justice
of the court of appeals. If elected he
will have to pass on Becker's applica-
ton for a new trial

Honor Prisoners ParoIed.

Not an incident has occurred nor a
circumstance arisen in connection
with the experiment in the adoption Of
the honor system in the Wisconsin
state penal institutions to upset our
faith in that system said Chairman
Ralph Smith of the Wisconsin state
board of control, speaking of the work
of the prisoners on the Chester road
near Waupun and at the location of
the industrial home for women at Tay-
cheedah.
In the two camps there are some
seventy men. Besides these there are
about fifty employed as honor men"
on the prison farm and on the building
for the criminal insane at Wanpun.
Not an attempt at escape has been
made and Mr.. Smith believes that
thought of escape has not been seri-
ously entertained by a single member
of either of the camps.
At the session of the board the first
of the week ten of the honor men we're
granted parole from the two camps.
These men were eligible to parole, but
were not required to return to prison.
They were given their freedom directly
from the camp.
