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 exert a 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 a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of its remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like new person. Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be
refunded without question or bubble il
ONE bottle fails to give you absolute
satisfaction.

Through the door which the aide

by Turcas, filed In. To Westerling

ness of the machines treadmill. Their
harness held them up. A moving plat
form under their feet kept their legs
moving. They grouped around the
great mans desk silently, Turcas, his
lips q half-opened seam, his voice that

spokesman.
"The enemy seized his advantage"
he said, when he found that our re-
serves were on the march, out of touch
with the wire to headquarters.
Westerling forced a smile which he
wanted to be knowing smile.
However, we had not prepared our
positions for the defensive" continued
that very literal parchment voice,
"They began an assault on our left
flank first and we've just had word
that they have turned 1t. Nor is that
the worst Of it. They are pressing at
other well-chosen points. They threat
en- to pierce our center"
"Our center!" gibed Westerling
"You need rest. Our center, where we
have the column of last nights attack
still concentrated! II anything would
convince me that l have to fight this
war alone-I-" Westerling choked in
irritation.
"Yes. The ground is such that 1t Is
tactically safe and advantageous
move for Lanstron to make. He strikes
at the vitals of our machine"
"But what about the remainder OF
the force that made the charge? What
about all our guns concentrated In
front of Engadir?"
Il was coming to that. The rout Of
the assaulting column was much worse
than we had supposed. Those who are
strong enough cannot be got to- re-
form. Many were so exhausted that
they dropped in their tracks. Om

1t was Lanstron's way to be sug-

 War is unnecessarily, most all agree, but men are only children in the stage of evolution. You might go out and find the most rampant man who is against war with all the vigor of his manful soul, but let some unregener- ate slip up behind him and precipitate sole lifting application to the afore- said persons chair warmer, and, if the aforesaid person has any vitality, you can't stop the play by moral sua- sion. Argue all you want to, the kicker wants some immediate revenge on the kicker. It may be true that a person should not fight for his coun- try, it may be true that we should have no sheriff, no police and each one look out for himself, but on our part, knowing our own weakness, are inclined to believe that such condi- tion of affairs, the millennium as it were, will only be attained when all morality can be gagued and stamped as correct by competant authority not politically appointed by mortal hands.

the chances were all in favor of the customer being nicely cheated"
 It is therefore interesting to know the method of reasoning consumers in the interior of the country use in pass ing up the local merchant to part with their money to the mail order house and department stores. MT. Kelly raises the interesting point that in fair methods of trade, the small re- taller "can compete with and out distance the big mail order house." He shows that it costs far greater per cent to run mail order house or a department store than it does to run a small retail establishment, and he concludes that the only reason why the man who sends away to buy his goods has for thinking that he gets more for his money is because he re- ceives in return an inferior quality of goods.

WHAT RETAIL DEALERS
 CAN DO FOR CUSTOMERS

When some of the large merchants of the country adopted the "one price" system, it was hailed as a victory for the buyer, who for ages had been accustomed to being trimmed in prices and goods in all sorts of stores.
 Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylva- mia, declares that the cut price system as operated by many merchants lis a return to the old days when the pur- chaser was forced to make the rounds of the stores and compare goods and also prices, and then, after finding the article desired, haggle with the merchant until a price was agreed upon between them-that meant that

DO YOU KNOW HIM?
 HE LIVES IN MANY PLACES

His past while not open book had bitter lessons taught; the one diploma that he took in suffering was wrought in Life's exacting school he'd learned how weak a man can be; he under stood the hearts that yearned for love and sympathy; no pious saint himself, he knew the sorrows and the woes of others-he had suffered, too-and An! we loved him so.
 He freely gave, not asking why; no lecture throwing in, into no details would he pry; no sermon would begin; he sought no evils to correct; he gave because it pleased; he injured no ones self respect-enough that want was eased. His was the simple, modest creed, 'let not your right hand know" we knew him as a friend in need, and An! we love him so.
 Of his own faillings conscious, he no judgment sought to give; he strove unlike the pharisee, to live and to let live; unlike those "Holier than thou, '' who sheltered lives had led, his gent leness would not allow harsh word to be said; not without sin, he under took never the stone to throw; his past was not an open book-but, An! we loved him so.

DO YOU SEE THE POINT?

The Tucson Citizen says that some prominent, permanent office seekers in the Republican party are much peeved at their recent plain statement of facts as to the condition of the party in the state, and claim that they were intended to weed them out of the party, in favor of new faces and a new deal.
 It is really an amusing proposition. If it is a personal proposition where few personal politicians have secur- ed a life lease on holding party de- feats one year after another because of personal likes and dislikes, then the old gang should continue, as they have been a splendid success in that line and did fairly we'll, not to say plum successfully convince the people that there was no general republican party, but few individuals who were farming out the name at best possible returns.
 The Sun has no aX to grind one way or the other; it believes in the well established principles of the republ- can party and the record they have made, not to please friend or to spite an enemy, but for the real good that can be accomplished.
 Arizona is a state now. If the re- publican party accomplishes anything it won't be by the man who gets back to Washington first and gets the powers that be. There may be the other element who believes in grab ping the federal end of the game and locating the federal offices, and-away with the local state side.
 If the honest conviction of the peo- pie is that the republicans are putting up honest, capable men, fitted for the offices, well and good, but if the bug zards come again, let 'em bug" is the general consensus of opinion that won't down.
 From all indications much of the "yellow dog" politics have had their run and died out to great extent within the state. There is an honest, earnest desire among the people to vote an honest ticket-that is for men of honesty, integrity and ability. The old element that need some concrete financial evidence to convince them, are always with us, and may turn the scale in localities, but we have an abiding faith when the truth is known,

In the United States, the question of protection is strictly partisan question. The Democrats believe in free-trade, the Republicans believe in protection to American industries Every other political issue is subvert- ed to that issue. It is the crux of the political situation, If man believes in a protective tariff he has the mak- ings of good Republican. If he is cursed with free-trade proclivities the voting majority want none of him. Hence, it is folly to speak of a non partisan tariff commission in the United States. A tariff commission well and good: To collect data on manufacturing industries and submit it to Congress for legislative action. But a non-partisan tariff commission would be governmental eunuch,

The administration plan is now to spend four hundred million dollars on national defense. The idea seems to be to spend it for dreadnaughts, sub marines and cruisers. It would seem to casual observer that few million of this should be spent in some sort of preparedness" among the few mil lion men who will have to do the fighting. When you lose dollar there is hopes of getting it back again. When you lose life the fellow who is plotted out is rather up against it.

Some union men believe that be- longing to a union is the same as be- longing to some church--their mem- bers can do no wrong. That idea has disrupted many churches, lodges and unions. Making a righteous example of those who do wrong within their own ranks is the only means of con vincing others that their principles are right. Converts are gained by a right stand and only backsliders and contempt gained by tacit sanction of crooks, cranks and montebanks.

There are many ideas advanced on the best method of gathering together and holding a trained force of men and not regular army. The question will never be solved until the United States puts the national guard or rather what is in reality the reserve army, on a paid basis. It is diff cult problem for men to work all day and out of shear patriotism, drill a few hours without compensation. There is need for regular army of 500,0O0 men in the United States and when they are backed by body of men that are in reality an adjunct to the regular army, paid partially for what they do, conditions will change rapidly. We are all Americans and the National Guard should not be consid- cred a bunch of strike breakers and neighbor-shooters as they are now. Too much local politics has ruined much patriotism.
