FOXY HARDING.
council Bluffs Nonpareil.1

A political observer in one Of the in
terror counties in the state points out
the fact that citizen is not obliged to
make certified record of his campaign
expenses prior to his announcement
that he is candidate. Mr.. Harding
has as yet made no announcement that
he will seek the nomination. but he
seems TO have had about as many
calls as the other candidates for speak
Ing dates and visits to various sections
OF the state. All of which leads said
political observer to conclude that Mr..
Harding is foxy" This conclusion is
correct. Foxy is used in its proper
place in this connection.

PULLING THE MOOSE TIGHTER.
fDes Moines Capital.l .
Friday evening this country will wit
ness sights the like of which have not
been seen in recent years. There are
two reasons, namely. New Years eve
and the beginning OF prohibition in
seven states of the union
Estimates of the sum Of money that
will be spent by jewellers in New
York. Chicago and other large centers
In helping to usher in the new year
amount to the millions.
Protests on the part OF temperance
bodies against the sanctioning Of New
Years celebrations where they include
the sale Of liquors have met with little
response. altho Mayor Mitchell of New
York City did limit the special permits
to cafes for Friday night to a. m. in
stead OF 6 a. m.
In Colorado ranchmen are buying
whisky by the barrel. we read. and sa-
looms are plastered with cut rate signs
In Portland, Ore, the saloon men plan
to give away what remains OF their
stock at II p. M. Friday. In Columbia,
8. c., police have been busy for days
handling the rush of crowds who are
storming dispensaries before they
close.
While It is deplorab1e laws should be
suspended in order that debauchery
may have full sway on one night In the
year. there is a ray Of hope in the un
usual circumstances Of December 81,
1915. New Years eve celebrations
combined with the rush to stock up on
liquors before the han goes on In q
combined territory of over 100000
people will be enough to sicken people
against the evil that is rapidly being
driven from tine nation.

The doctors have not yet explained
satisfactorily the cause OF grippe. All
they know is that comes and that
this year it has been more active than
ever, notwithstanding the years of
experience this country has had in try

of grippe will respond to vigorous
treatment and finally, when thrown off
will not return during the season. If
seems strange indeed that our other
wise healthy climate should afford
such a favorable field for the annoy

The next most frequent cause of return
OF pain after operation Is the passage of

by any medicine. for that matter In course

SUFFERERS INCREASE

A man can have gallstones and not have
pain. In fact, autopsies show that most Of
the people who have gallstones never have
pain enough to know that they have the
disease
When man who has suffered from gall
stone pains ceases to have collie 1t is no sign
that his gallstones have been absorbed, dis
solved or cured In any other way.
Why do people who have gallstones post
po1e operation Just as long as possible?
They have heard of people whose pain
stopped after taking some gladstone rnedI-
cine, or OF people who were benefited by
the Carlsbad cure or some other cure and
they arc hoping that something will turn
up to make operation unnecessary in their
cases.
Why do some people who have been OPP
Grated on have pain or other symptoms after
operation?

for the hour or the occasion. She can wear
all the ruffles she wants, and at any time
just because she's a summer girl
This amable disregard of sartorial con-
ventlons affords plenty of opportunity for
the modern girl to show originality in plan
ming and making her summer froclSs. An
other very helpful suggestion is the fact
that washable dresses were never so sim
ply trimmed as they are today,
There are plenty of ways to trim gown,
but none of them is overdone. There liz a
delightful plainness of outllne-all the frills

chief claim to distinction.
