IN SIT. LOUIS.

Tomorrow in st. Louis the Demo
cratic, national convention will be
started on it's merry way. According to
all political forecasts, everything will
be "cut and dried" so there is no
cause of worry in the ranks Of Democ-
racy. Nor will there be lack of en-
thusiasm. No Democratic convention
in fifty years has ever had as rosy a
| complexion as the one Which. is now
| being dressed for the grand opening.
It will differ in many ways from the
Republican national convention just
! over. Where the Chicago affair was
at the outset one of uncertainty, with
more candidates for the nomination
! than votes to go around, the ST. Louis
! party will be a united effort with only
one name before it. Where there were
gloom and rancor in the ranks Of Re-
| publicans at the past convention, there
| will be nought but gladness and good
cheer among the men assembled to re-
nominate Woodrow Wilson. The con-
/ trast is apparent even to a blind man.
Where there was no enthusiasm at the
Republican convention, even over the
nomination of Hughes, there will be
jubilation over the mere mention of
Wilson's name. When he is renominat-
ed, the foodgates Of joy will burst
from their hinges There shall be no
pent-up emotion.
And all this is rightly so. There is
but one man the Democrats could
properly name at st. Louis, one man
who should be placed at the head Of
the party-Woodrow Wilson. He is
the dominating figure in American
politics today There are those who
cordially hate him, and some Of these
are in the ranks of his own party; but
there are none who underestimate his
true worth, who place him below the
standard he has reached RepubIi-
cans, even those who would like to be
blind to conditions, admit he will be
a very difficult problem to solve, no
easy man to defeat. This, in a manner,
because there are so many Republic
cans who are for Wilson, who stand
for the same things he does. It is no
wonder then that the Democrats are !
flocking to st. Louis and making
ready for one of the greatest politi-
cal feasts in the history of their party
a party that dates back almost to the
birth of this nation. What fights
there may be in ST. Louis will be
minor affairs at best. There is some
talk about many differences over the
platform to be adopted, over certain
leaders being peeved because Presi-
dent Wilson has written the greater
portion of this document. The answer
is, President Wilson is the logical
man in the party to write the plat
form. His words at best will but carry
the sentiment of the party and the
ideas of those outside the party who
agree with him. The platform adopt
I'd at st. Louis will not count for
much, will not measure up to the can
know is of the man. They know what
Woodrow Wilson has done during his
years in the White House. They
know he has gone through fire and
ished They know also he is capable
of going through four years more Of
the same treatment and of doing so
without sacrificing the nations honor.

 A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy. but is said to be sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or coft corn or callus.
 You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn Is so shriveled that it lifts out without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never infames or even irritates the adjoin- ing tissue

 LAX-A-TONE.

A chain is only as strong as the weakest link, said MT. Martin, the Lax-a-Tone expert at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, and if that weakest link, happens to be the stom- ach all the other links are seriously affected. Many times you hear a man say, Oh, I just feel fine until my stomach gets out of order and then I am sick all over. The human stom- aoh is to the system what the boiler is to the engine. Let that stomach get out of order and tho system has no energy to supply it with force in the way of rich blood. A sound di- gestion makes good blood, and good blood will repair that weakened con- dition of the organs that the very life depends upon. Many people think constipation is 8 condition when in fact it Is a symptom of deranged digestion. If constipation IS allowed to remain, it will do untold damage as the human bowels are what the sewers are to 8 city. Let them once be- come clogged and filth deverted from it's proper channel, distress and sick ness will ensue.
 Mrs. H. Nelson, who is very we'll known New Britain lady, says: T find Lax-a-Tone an excellent remedy for stomach trouble, gas, bloat and fermentation after eating and I am pleased to indorse it."
