FEDERAL PATRONAGE
DEMOCRATIC ISSUE
Palmer and His Allies Take Every
Thing For Themselves; Others
Out in Cold

According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger the weight of the bosship OF
the Democratic machine in Pennsyl-
vania is preventing Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer from attending to his
sworn duties as congressman. HE
Is compelled to work overtime seeing
applicants for places and keeping the
party Strengthened out.
The Ledger article is interesting for
it is first hand information about one
of the leading lights of the faction
that parades the Importance of serV-
ing the people and not the party. 1t
says:
distribution of Federal patronage
for Pennsylvania is assuming the I'M
portance of an issue in the coming
Democratic campaign in Pennsylva-
MIA. The satisfying of the army or
hungry office seekers. who were with
out hope of Federal preferment for
sixteen years. has widened the po-
litical gulf between the practical active
workers of the Old Guard and the
leaders of the triumphant Palmer
Mccormick faction. 1t also has alb
sorbed the time of Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer so as to make his
work as a legislator almost negligible
in this Congress.
tive office seekers to Mr. Palmer's S
office has been constant He keeps
three secretaries busy answering the
inquiries and searching the depart
ment offices for vacancies. The de-
mands on his time have been so con-
tinual that Mr.. Palmer is rarely seen
in the House except on occasions when
distinct party measures are under con-
sideration. The result has been that
Mr.. Palmer is slave to the Demo-
cratic place hunter and no time is
allowed him for constructive work in
Congress. He has been forced into
the role of a political boss-eclipsing
his ambition to become a leader in
legislation.
There has been no effort on the
part of Mr.. Palmer and his associates
to appease the followers of the de-
feated faction. The places have been
apportioned without exception to the
men who, two years ago and previous
ly. maintained opposition to the BIZ
partisan machine. But this policy has
accentuated the differences and
strengthened the fighting ardor OF
parent to the reorganization, facing
the May primaries, that one of the
issues that will be employed against
them by the Old Guard will be the
patronage distribution.

places, with the exception of Commits

bents can be crowded out"

A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 lbs, of
Solid. Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin. nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say
Il can't understand why l do not get
fat | eat plenty of good, nourishing
food" The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
assfmilate the fat-making elements of
your food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to
the blood, where they may reach the
starved. shrunken, n-down tissues
and build them up The thin persons
body is like dry sponge-eager and
hungry for the fatty materials of which
It Is being deprived by the failure of
the alimentary canal to take them from
the food. The best way to overcome
this sinful waste of flesh building ele-
ments and to stop the leakage of fats is
to use Sargol, the recently discovered
SO highly by physicians here and
abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with
every meal and notice how quickly your
cheeks fill out and rolls of firm healthy
flesh are deposited over your body, Gov

why GRIP IS DANGEROUS.
II is an Epidemic Catarrhal Fever
Caused by a Bacillus that Gener-
ally Leaves the Patient Weak
After the Acute Stage
Has Passed.

Grip Patients Grateful to Peruna, tho
Expeetorant Tonic.
Do not make the error of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is q big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that pol
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip. the air passages are
alive with millions Of bacilli poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
Peruna Is Tonic Laxative.
1t requires a good tonic laxative to
keep the body of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect Of
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
lus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities Is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-
pecialIy of coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality of the
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success In former grip epidemics. In
dications point to the return of grip
this winter.
Do not fail to read the experience
Of former grip patients with Peruna.
Mrs Gentry Gates, S21s First Ave-,
East Lake. Ala, writes: 81 had a
bad case of grip. tried Peruna and
it cured me. I can safely say it il q
fine medicine"
Mrs. Charles E. Wells, Sr, 2SO
South ST., Delaware, Ohio, writes
After severe attack OF la grippe 1
took Peruna and found it O. good
tonic"

Yesterday afternoon and last night
two capacity audiences were on hand
to inaugurate an offering that on paper
looked to be winner, containing more
big names than any bill that we have
had the pleasure of seeing for some
time And from mighty clever dane
ing duo. namely, Knapp and Cornella,
down to a dog act that has more good
fun in it than a three-ring circus, the
applause and approval was rock-solid.
There are Kimberly and Mohr, "The
