an impersonal one also. The editors

The HuuheS Revival.

Topeka Capital: AS significant as
the great vote for Judge Hughes by
the delegates to the republican state
convention was the astonishingly
small vote for Roos evelt. This means
that the active men in the party by
a great majority want to see the
colonel remain member of the rank
and file for time. They are not for
his militant issue. No more are they
for his militant way Of presenting his
personal opinions and antagonizing
men who do not agree with him. The
convention in its resolutions declared
expressly against military conscrtp-
ton, which Colonel Roosevelt has de-
clared himself expressly for. If the
situation were to be Judged by the
Kansas convention, then the country
has finally got back to where 1t was
politically when Mr.. Roosevelt by
main strength and awkwardness
switched it off the track in 1908. Al
that time the republican party by an
overwhelming majority wanted
Charles 2. Hughes. governor Of New
York, for president. The president
for personal reasons succeeded In
preventing public sentiment from hay
ing it's way, and so turned history
back from som ething like eight years.

Cough medicines, as a rule contain a

as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 21s ounces
PineX $50 cents WORTH, pour into pint
bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives you, at cost of only
81 cents, full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for

and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough OF

It's truly astonishing how quickly il
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the infamed mem

1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end

used for generations to heal infiamed

democrats of the state as we have
found It in reading and travelling,
there is no further question about the
reelection of W. W. Marsh as ma
tional committeeman for Iowa. The
squirt of the self eyed progressive
democrats at Des Moines recently is
hardly to be taken seriously. and SO
far as democratic organization and
efficiency in the state are concerned
will not be taken seriously by even
the best friends of Mr.. Dunn, who
heads the insurgent ticket. II Dunn
were chosen in place of Marsh at this
time the republicans of this state
could well afford to hold a jubilee
and congratulate the insurgents as
brothers and friends.

PAPER SHORTAGE
IS KEENLY FELT
Bio Manufacturer Asks Cooperation
In Saving Material. Bulletin
Urqes People to Save.

Bulletins sent out by the United
States department Of commerce in
which the attention Of the public is
called to the serious shortage of pa
per snd the need of saving old rags
and waste paper, have been received
here.
The bulletin says:
"The attention Of the department
Of commerce Is called by the president
of a large paper manufacturing COM
pany to the fact that there is ser
ious shortage Of raw material for the
manufacture Of paper, including rags
and old paper. He urges that this de-
partment should make 1t known that
the collection and saving Of rags and
old paper would greatly better exist
ing circumstances.
.'Something like $4,000 tons Of pa
ner and paper board are manufacture
ed every day in the United States and
a large portion Of this, after 1t has
served it's purpose, could be used over
again in some class of Spaper. A large
TART of 1t. however, is either burned
or otherwise wasted. This, of course,
has to he replaced by new material.
an the early history Of the paper
industry publicity was given to the
Importance of saving rags. 1t is OF
scarcely less Importance now.
.eThe department of commerce Is
glad to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the public in the hope that
pra cttcal results may flow from 1T. A
little attention to the saving OF rags
and old paper will mean genuine re-
lief to our paper industry and a DIM
tshing Of the drain upon our source
of supply for new material

but only by small number of votes.
The campaign which came to a
close yesterday was a hard fought one.
From the minute the count was known
at the primary, the candidates were
busy working for the election. The
extent of their labors, and that of their
friends is shown in the increased vote,
and in the increase in certain individ-

between the candidates was friendly,
the same can not be said of some OF
their partisans, who employed every

Skin foods and face creams and

cases the basis Of health and the
cause of sickness can be traced to
the action of the bowels.
The headache, the lassftude, the sal

usually caused by constipation. An
ideal remedy for women, and one that
Is especially suited to their delicate
