THE WOMAN IN POLITICS.
One Papers Opinion of Feminine Aid
in Republican Campaign.

The notion of putting forty women,
mostly wealthy women, on a special
train and sending them over the coun-
try to make speeches for Hughes. is
distinctly feminine notion, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. We are sure that
Chairman Wilcox accepted it with re-
luetance, even with trepidation. 1.-The
Billion Dollar Filler the Golden
Special, even the ''Petticoat Spec
ial,' were inevitable characteriza-
tons not intended to help Hughes
And it was sure that some heckled wo-
man would shrek back at the hecklers:
'Oh, you are Just ignorant persons, -
as Mrs. Shaughnessy is reported to
have done in Chicago: and the effect of
that is to be dreaded gravely.
Women S wits have clashed merrilv
with other women S wits in the meet
ing and the treatment OF this petticoat
special. We think the women of the
people scored a marked advantage in
Chicago. They lined up at the station
with big banners. colors hidden; re-
NAMED silent until the tickled visitors
had begun to wave hands at them, and
then showed =" Wilson on all the ban
nerS. Later, when the campaigning
women were II autos, starting on the
parade, the Democratic women fell in
line on foot. They sang, Republican
women ride, we walk, we walk, we
walk. And according to stories even
in Hughes organs, the walkers got all
the cheers of the crowd, notably when
they called out, $50 back home to
Wall Street. and Hughes fought
the Income Tax, and - How about the
Danbury hatters?' The walkers knew
their Chicago considerably better than
the ''BillIon Dollar Filler women
knew it.
All of this is entertaining but not
edifying. II is a pity to have class
feeling stirred i'll this fashion. The
Hughes crowd started it. They cannot
complain if the effect has been adverse
to their man. THE Lord must have
loved the common people because he
made SO many of them, is a reflection
lot to be ignored by campaign manag-
ars. There are two ways of alternating
The common people. One is to call
hem ignorant and try TO instruct them
n speeches from sixty horsepower mo-
or cars. The other is to force the
contrast of your wealth with their
poverty. The republican scheme did
10Th at once and reached the climax of
hebetudinositv.

TRY THIS TO DANISH
ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

People who have been tormented
for ycars-yes, even so crippled that
they We're unable to help themselves
have been brought back to robust
health through the mighty power of
Rbeuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
in few days the relief YOU have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the poisons
that cause agony and pain in the joints
and muscles and quickly the torturing
soreness completely disappears.
It is harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because it is one discov-
cry that has forced rheumatism and
sciatiea to yield and disappear.
Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma,
and if you do not get the joyful relief
you expect, your money will be re-
turned. Wilfred F. Root always has u
supply of Rhcuma and guarantees it
to YOU.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and vour
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs TO excite the kidneys and
irritatc the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mid, harmless salts which removes the
body S urinous waste and stimulates
them 10 their normal activity. The
function of the kidneys is to filter the
blood. In ~ hours they strain from it
500 grains Of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital i'm
portancc of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water--vOu can I drink
too much; also get from the pharmacist
about four ounces Of ,Jad Salts; take a
Tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning for a few days
aud your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged
kidneys; also to neutralizc the acids
in the urine so it no longer is a source
of irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful efervescent
lithiawatcr drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt YOU will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backaehe.--

Taking these costs, year by year,
the statement shows the general ex-
penses Of the state increasing from
$509,642 in 1901 (taken from a file of
statements to $676,720 in 1907 (pres-
ent statement) $l.077,05S in 1911 to
81 ,951 in 1916. This represents more
than a trebling of the states general
expenses in - years, certainly a start
ling and sensational showing.
In the same manner, the administra-
ton Of justice has increased from
$246,6S7 in 1901 to 1895, $50 in 1916,
due apparently to the constant addi-
ton of new courts, additional judges,

press companies $50. 562, and other cor
