Why We cAre Supporting Him

We were asked the other day why we
are supporting John A Horton for con.
gress. While it is our right to support
ANYBODY we want to without telling
why, we are glad to tell why we are
supporting Mr.. Horton.
First, we know him to be clean,
honest and capable man.
Second on account Of his platform.
The Sentinel will be satisfied with
whoever is elected to congress. Who
ever the majority of the people want
suits us. But we would not feel right
about it, knowing Mr.. Horton as we do
and his desire to be of service to the
people, if we did not strongly call their
attention to their opportunity of elect
ing to represent them in the great
est law-making body in the world man
who could represent them 50 well. The
office he offers for needs him far more
than he needs it. If he is not elected
it will be the people of this district, and
not Horton, who will be the losers.
If the people ever expect to get any
helpful legislation from the government
they must elect representatives who
are in sympathy with them.
To each voter we say, Vote for the
man whom you think will represent you
best We have called your attention to
this man who is clean, honest and cap
able; who by his own efforts and hard
work has made himself what he is to-
day, and who is in sympathy with the
common people.
We have done our duty by you and
our conscience is clear. .
We will say here that we believe Hor-
ton will be elected and when we see
what good congressman he makes we
will all be glad that we voted for him.
Here is Mr.. Horton 8 platform:
am firm believer in the rule of the
people.
| regard public Office as a public
trust and the holder thereof as servant
OF the whole people, to whom he owes
faithful, honest and conscientious
service.

ment to the farmers on long, easy pay
ments.
Am in favor of tariff for revenu
only, and will urge the lowest possibl
rates on the necessities Of life with tn
highest rates on the luxuries. In orde
to meet the demand for increased reve
nue., favor an.increasedt tax on income
and inheritances.
am a believer in labor and farmer
organizations, and they will find in n

The busiest month in our history, is

children under treatment in the hos

The most interesting and appreciated
work done by the hospital this sum-

the month of about 270 children found
physically deficient in some way dur

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They VIII
tell you that such and such a medl'
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass of beer or a certain quantity
of whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer. or whiskey is sWal'
lowed at one draught, while only: d
small quantity of the medicine Is
taken at one dose. At the same time
they will use alcohol quite as freely
and many in four or fives times as
great proportions in their own pre-
scriptions.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
use barely enough alcohol to pre-
serve the root and herb extractivesr
too little to have injurious effects;
and the medicine can be had, if de-
sired, in non-alcoholic form.-Adv.

ENCOUNTER HARDSHIPS IN THE
NORTH WOODS FOR Arts SAKE

Fathers of Men," to be shown at
the Isis theatre Monday and Tuesday,
calls for a large number of winter
scenes, as the story is written around
the men of the northwest.
In order to get the exact locations
I; was necessary for Director William
Humphrey to take his company far
into the north and reside there for a
number of days.
Often the company would leave the
hotel in the morning and travel miles
into the snow-covered woods in order
to have the icy wilderness portrayed
with as much realism as possible.
The players would bundle themselves
into dog sleds and take as many pro-
visions as it was possible to carry with
them, owing to lack of space
Sometimes it would be almost mid
night when they returned, tired, cold
and hungry after a long day of hard
ships
Although they delighted in telling
of the wonderful scenery upon their
return they became strangely morose
and SILENT when, for a time, Director
Humphrey feared it would be neces-
sary to retake some of the scenes ow-
ing to the rainy weather which had
made itself evident in some of the
scenes.
In the end it was avoided, however
and that the finished production Il
well worth the discomfort which i
caused the company is admitted by all
