nominee very much on the defensive.

ple who believed him to be peculiar

will ultimately make him president Of
the United States. Tammany eng1-
neered the nomination of William F.
McCombs for United States senator, so
that with It's acceptance Of Judge Sea-
bury, tts support will be unanimous
and probably enthusiastic for the
Democratic ticket. Charley Murphy
does not particularly like Seabury, but
would infinitely prefer him to Cover
nor Whitman, the Republican candl-
date, and having been given the sena-
torial nomination, there is no reason
for Murphy and his cohorts to com
plain because in picking a candidate
for governor the convention did not
take an essentially Tammany man.
After all, Tammany is practical or
ganization which knows we'll how TO
play the political game and to win over
Democratic candidates even when 1t
has not named them. However, the
fact that both Seabury and McCombs
enjoy Tammany support is an occasion
OF rejoicing to the Democratic leaders.
observing Democrats"-A "deserv-
ing Democrat" according to captlous
Democratic critic (who probably
failed to come through. is one who
contributed according TO his means to
the Wilson campaign fund. He points
out, at any rate. that those who did
contribute literally landed good gov
eminent jobs, notably in the diplo
matte service. He complains, however,
that It takes a far larger contribution
from a northener than from a south
erner to land a good place at the pie
counter. For instance, it cost Cen
eral Penfield Charley Crane Morgan
than, McCombs and Jones an average
of S24,5OO each for good Jobs, whereas,
the southern rate is only $3.50, as evil
denced by the fact that that was the
average contribution OF Daniels, Bur-
Lesson, Gregory and McReynolds, all in
the cabinet. In this connection 1t is
also maintained that while most OF the
taxes collected by this administration
have come from the North, the lions
share Of the expenditures has been
made In the South The bulk Of the
$4200O,OOO "pork bar'l" goes to the
South, in addition to $21,OOOO0O for a
nitrate plant, big sums for navy yards, J
many Of which are obsolete, $5O,OOO,OOO
for river improvement and flood con-
troll, etc.

A tourist travelling with a party of friends was seized with a sudden ill., ness and was compelled to remain for some hours in q hotel. He insisted that the others must go out and enjoy the day and said that he would spend a few hours composing . palindrome--a sentence the letters of which are in the same order whether read forward or backward.

PARALYSIS SCARE DRIVES PINCKOT TO
 PURCHASE A HOUSE

Simsbury, Aug. 22-People who travel with children in these days of paralysis scare have many trying and exasperating experiences, but it is not often that a man has to buy a place in order to be able to stop and rest with his family. Such, however, is said to be the experience of Amos Pinchot, nephew of Mrs. Antoinette P. Wood of this place.
 Travelling north with his family from their home in Pennsylvania, as soon as he reached the region where infantile paralysis precautions were in force. he was allowed to stop only a few minutes, and everywhere that he tried to stop for food and rest, he was requested to move along, until the matter of rest and food became serious Becoming exasperated at his treatment and knowing of a place near Haystack Mountain in Norfolk that was for sale, MT. Pinchot promptly proceeded there, bought the place and remained to eat and rest, and there he will remain with his family until the travelling prospects are better.

 TO AID WILSON

New York, Aug. 22.-Progressives from all parts of the country are still flocking to Democratic standard and offering to assist in every way pos sible the reelection of President Will son, according to Vance Mccormick l Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who yesterday made pub' lie letters and telegrams that have been received by the committee during the last few days.
 Nine prominent Progressives in the State of Washington joined in a tele- gram to President Wilson inviting him to arrange to make speeches in that State during the campaign. At the
 request of the President, Chairman Mccormick replied to the invitation
 and expressed the regret of the Pres ident that he will be unable to do what was suggested. "Press dispatches from Washington
 would indicate you may not come in this State during the campaign" said the telegrams. Chances never better to carry State of Washington. Mem bers of Progressive Party are now in
 open revolt against amalgamation with
 the Republicans. If you would ar- range to make two or three speeches here it would insure electoral vote of Washington for you. We, the un- dersigned members of the Progressive Party of the State of Washington, who are supporting you for reelection, most respectfully but earnestly appeal to you to come to the State for at least two speeches before Nov. 1, if it is possible to do so. We want to win
 Washington for Wilson,"
 The National Committee made pub
 lie yesterday correspondence that has
 passed between Hugo Wintner, an at-
 torney with offices in the Woolworrh Building, who was the Progressive
 candidate for Justice of the Supreme
 Court of New York last year, and President Wilson. MT. Wintner wrote
 the President that he intended to work
 ''unqualifiedly and uncompromisingly
 for his reelection.
 In reply to MT. Wintner President
 Wilson wrote: "Your letter of July
 10 has given me the deepest pleasure
 and great deal of genuine encourage
 ment. I have tried hard to earn the
 confidence of all progressive and for
 word looking men, and when get
 letters such as this of yours it brings me the reward have been seeking and

EnaIand's Most Beautiful viIIaas.

When Sir John Gorst succeeded his brother in his Wiltshire property he be- came the owner of what is held, in the west country at any rate, to be the most beautiful village in England. All visitors to Bath are supposed to have misused their opportunities unless they have been to Castle Combe, and indeed the sweet little place is so extensively visited, although 1t is five and hasf miles from any railway, that during the summer months provision is made on the Inst day of the week for from 500 to 1000 trippers. The surround ing scenery is not less picturesque than the village itself, and to those who are interested in such matters there is also the attraction of long history. The church of Castle Combe, which is an cient, has been restored without being spoiled.-Westminster Gazette.

 In your husbands case I am satis-
 fled that osteopathy would be of the greatest help and especially if the
 muscles or ainews are sore. If there
 is a good osteopath in your neighbor-
 hood by all means secure his services.
 Even a few treatments would un-
 doubtedly do him very much good.
 The Homo Health Club method of treatment for Lumbago explained in Vol. ! would also benefit him greatly. There is possibility of the kidneys
 being affected in some way and if so proper treatment must be given. In the case of the young man hay- Ting Hciatica, the pains can be allaycd,
 at least to a very great extent, by em- ploying heat. In fact, heat will give relief from almost any neuralgia pains. if 1t can be applied in sufficient
 strength. Wet and dry heat are both effective, and in the book above re-
 ferred to their application is explained under the heading of Neuralgia and Hot Concentrations. A good stimula- ting 1ininent should be applied very thoroughly over the affected parts.
 He should also pay great deal of attention to his digestive organs and see to it that the bowels more regu-
 larly. The affected part could be wrapped in cotton. as this would al- lay pain. Absolute quiet is also need- ed in some cases. The diet should be extremely light. Excesses of all kinds must be avoided. A liniment consistfng of tfnctIlres of IoheIio ,,,,1 lein and lady-slipper, each two ounces, and tincture of capsicum, four drams. is excellent for the above purpose. It can be easily secured from almost any druggist.
