DANGEROUS VARICOSE
VEINS CAN BE REDUCED

If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins, or
punches. the best advice that anyone
In this world can give is to get a pre-
Bcription that many physicians are now
prescribing.
Ask your druggist for an original
two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full
strength) and apply night and morn
ing to the swollen, enlarged veins.
Soon you will notice that they are
growing smaller and the treatment
should be continued until the veins are
of normal size. So penetrating and
powerful is Emerald Oil that 1t dis
solves goiter and wens and causes them
to disappear. 1t can always be secured
at all druggists-Adv.

FAIRBANKS AND HUGHES DO NOT
 AGREE ON ISSUE

New Tor, Sept. 26-Chairman Vance McCormic of thel Democratic National Committee, expressed the opinion yesterday that MT. Hughes and his running mate, Charles w. Fairbans, do not agree on the Mexi- can question, this opinion being bas- ed on one of MT. Fairbanks utter ances.
 'I wonder if Charles E. Hughes and Charles w. Fairbanks succeeded in composing their differences on the Mexican question upon the occasion of their widely heralded meeting at Indianapolis, Saturday." said MT. Nc Cormick. MT. Hughes attacks the Administration's Mexican policy, and his running mate approves the course of President Wilson in this lan- guage:
 "It is not the hour for either little politics or sensational journalism. The clamor of the jingoes should not be allowed to drown the voice of ra- tional, deliberate statesmanship. It is a pretty safe rule, when we come to deal with grave international prob lems, to put our faith in the Presi- dent of the United States and follow where he may lead. He speaks for the country when we come to deal with international affairs. The Pres ident of the United States is a safer guide than sensationalists and sol- diers of fortune who come to the sur-

 comfort kits will be greatly appreciat- ed by the men as the weather grows cooler They are' very simply made, and should contain at least one warm
 garment, such as a sweater, muffler,
 worsted gloves or socks, and six small articles, such as pipe, collar buttons, safety pins, talcum powder, soap, sta- tionery sewing materials, chewing
 gum, tobacco, etc. Many of the Vo- men in the city are devoting a few spare moments to making these kits,
 which the soldiers find great comfort to receive.

 MT. Hughes is making votes every day by his attack upon the adminis- tration for averting the threatened railroad strike. I have visited com munties that have been visited also by the Republican candidate, and I know the people are not in sympathy with his criticism of the Eight-Hour Law, but feel a deep sense of appreci- ation that the strike was averted."

The colonels laughed as they told of the marked change in the camp when the prisoners read of the beginning of the general offensives against the Central Powers.

This Large Purchase Was Made
Months Ago

At that time conditions were normal, and the magnitude of our order placed secured a substantial concession in price from the mills. For us to buy these rugs now at the same price would be simply out of the ques- ton. We could hold these rugs untll the . prices reach the high water mark and then sell them at a large margin of profit But this is not our. plan: We feel that selling these rugs at the special price at this time will do us more good from an advertising standpoint than anything we could possibly do, SO they go on sale at $12.75.
