'fBut the Average Politician
Is a Scoundrel and a
Crater and Those at
Washington Have Been
Destroying Business for
Sixteen Months" Says Ed
ward Campbell Simmons.
BY JAMES b. MORROW.

st. Louis, July 4.-The same thought
possibly, is in the minds Of the general
ity Of business men, but only a few OF
them have courage enough even to whis-
per it outside their Offices or homes.
What do you think of the average
American Politician I had asked Ed
ward Campbell Simmons.
The inquiry was made before Mr.. Sim
mons had declined to be one Of the seven
directors who are to manage the twelve
big reserve banks established recently by
q law Of Congress.
That he is often a scoundrel and a
CRATER" Mr.. Simmons replied. He did
not raise his voice. He did not smash
the top of his desk with his fist. Mr..
Simmons is not an impuIsive character.

. on to explain. THE politicians at Wash
ington have been destroying business for
sixteen months. They should have ad-

Shameful Treatment of Railways.

FOR WEAR IN THE BOUDOlR
smartness There Must Be Compatible
With the Comfort That One Takes
in Lounging.

A sash is a part OF many of the
smartest negligees. Sometimes 1t is
no more than a piece of narrow
black velvet ribbon which Is knotted
about the waist. Sometimes 1t Is a
wide, soft silk sash that Is tied In a
loose, fappy bow in the back or at
the side. Sometimes a sash is formed
from an extension Of the two fronts,
folded about the waist apd clasped
under a jeweled fastening at the
back. OF course big bow Is rather
out OF place in negligee which, in
spite of its daintiness, should be dur.
able enough to withstand rather hard
treatment. For when one is resting
or dressing. one seldom cares to be
careful of the gown one wears.
Petticoats OF knitted silk are far
more durable than those made even
OF the softest Of best satin. For eventu.
ally the satin wears out and 1t seems
as IL the knitted silk fabric never
wears out. 1t is usually used for the
upper part of the petticoat and In
more expensive ones is used also for
the plated rufIle. These are more than
worth the extra price charged for
them.

ORNAMENTAL HOUSE EASY OF

Little Work Required, and the Neces-
sary Time Will Be Little to the
Girl Handy With the Card
board and Paste.

There Is nothing to prevent the
girl who is handy with cardboard and
paste from making one Of those little
fascinating telephone houses with the
cumming clock above and the glass
door in front, writes Helen Howe In
the Washington Star.
The bottom of the floor should be OF
wood about ten inches square and the
side walls of stiff cardboard to the
sloping roof twelve inches high. The
walls in the back and front, which
come up to a point. are fifteen inches
high. and the roof in two pieces
should connect these walls and be
set on roof fashion. So much for the
foundation.
The next thing is to cover all these
pieces upon one side with cretonne,
brocade. velvet. tapestry. or any sim.
liar goods. cutting each piece large
enough to turn over the edges for one
quarter Of an inch. This will be the
outside of the house. The lining
should be preferably of silk in a color
harmonizing with the outside covering.
This too is cut a little larger than
the place it is to cover to enable the
edges to be neatly turned in. When
all the pieces are in readiness paste
down the lining and put the house to-
gether with paste,

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or

cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con.
stipation, torpid liver, .sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
Ihe moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exertsa cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear. - -
George H: Mayr, for twenty years q
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so 'suc-
cessful was the remedy he devised that
1t has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles. p: w.. -:
Though absolutely harmless, the e.
feet of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect
iveness, and within "a hours the sufferer
feels like new person. Mayr's Won
derful Stomach Remedy is now sold here
