CAMPAIGN ADVERTISING

~Iroquois Chief: The Campaign
committees squandered a bunch of
money this year in preparing and pay
ing for plate matter that was furnish
Ell weekly newspapers to be inserted
free of charge. Nearly every week
ly paper received almost one hundred
columns during the campaign and on
an average nine-tenths of this was
not used and was a complete Joss.
The committees for the first time
used an immense amount Of paid
space in the daily newspapers and
this was a good investment. II
costs in the neighborhood Of $50 to
hold a political meeting in a small
town and the speaker will address an
audience of 100 voters. A page Of
space can be bought for one week in
the local paper in which to present
the same arguments at less thar half
the cost of the meeting and the argu-
ments will reach from eight to fifteen
hundred people.

BUSINESS MANS DIET

In Tanning the Liver" In the cur
rent number OF the Worlds Work we
are told that the daily meal Of the
average business man consisting Of
meat and potatoes and white bread is
ideal for inducing constipation. Most
of us should not eat meat more than
once a day. Eat the shells of your
baked potatoes, and eat whole wheat
bread or graham for the help that
what we call r~oughage' has in slim
ulating bowel action. And see to it
that you take liberal portions of at
least two kinds Of vegetables at both
luncheon and dinner such vegetab-
les as peas, beans, lettuce. parsnips,
carrots, turnips, celery. oyster plant,
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes,
satisfy. Spanish onions, asparagus,
and spinach. II you dislike these, you
will be able to substitute fruit that
you do like. Eat the right things, get
sufficient exercise and rest. and you
will have no need for habit-forming
laxatives which eventually may do
you much HARM"

DRY VOTE IN WET TOWNS

One of the peculiar things noted in
the recent election upon the liquor
question is the fact that many towns
admittedly wet by inclination of their
citizens voted for state wide dry, in
GLIDING towns like Sioux Falls, Water
town, Huron, Deadwood,, Lead, Hot
Springs, and some smaller towns. IT
is probable that two or three senti-
ments were responsible for this vote.
The American people. of course, are
being gradually convinced that the
consumption of liquor is an economic
waste of both money and energy.
This sentiment alone will in time in
fiuence the nation. In the wet towns
voting dry, voters evidently were
dissatisfied with the way saloons were
conducted-and it is admitted that the
American saloon is the limit. Again,
many business men who were accus-
toned to vote wet upon local option,
were satisfied to have their W town
dry, provided all rival towns or cities
were the same. Whether their idea
that saloons affect business is wrong
or not, 1t is a fact that it influenced
many votes.

PROPHET SAYS SEVERE WINTER

Prepare for winter, gentle reader;
put by the rake and hoe and seeder;
the tool with which you NOW the Glow
err may rest awhile, its seasons over.
In storage put your trusty swatter,
until the days again grow hotter. The
goosebone seers as one are saying that
winter won't be long delaying. and
they insist when its a conner; twill
be an old-time. ring-tailed hummer.
The signs all indicate a eason pro-
longed and cold beyond all reason.
The moss upon the trees is thicker;
the woodland beasts r working
quicker to lay In provender to last
them till springtime comes again, dod-
CAST them. The southwark birds are
flying faster. as IL they scented some
disaster. 1t Is the goosebone seer
who's spoken; he has observed the
sign and token. and says that winters
coming early, and will be boisterous
and surly. So blow your self with
eager ardor, for coal and sundries for
the larder. prepare all other labors
doping, and plan to do your Christ
mas shopping.-walt Mason.

EXCESSIVE coon THINGS

The word comes from Wall Street
that the big monied fellows are begin
ing to worry a bit over the length Of
the European war, and the money II
will take to finance 1t. This is the first
real peace cloud seen upon a clear
horizon. When the old boys with the
side-whiskers who control big money
shut off the supply the war will end.
They have enjoyed a regular saturn
ALA of money making, but IL the war
ring nations should go SO far as to
be unable to pay their bonds-well,
perhaps Its getting time to start a
peace movement!
