hold prescriptions. These medicines as
put up for sale by druggists have never
been recommended as "cure-alls," but
only as superior remedies for certain
common and easily-recognized diseases
Had these medicines been adopted to
all classes and forms Of chronic diseases
there would have been no necessity for
organizing competent staff of expert
physicians and surgeons, to act in the
treatment of difficult, obscure and COM
plicated cases of chronic diseases, as
DIR. Pierce's maintains in his Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute. OF his
home remedies the most widely known
are his "Faverite Prescription" for
womanly troubles and rundown condi-

"Golden Medical Discovery" the great

Powder Takes a Drop
Metals viii Follow

As a result of increased manufactur.
ing facilities in the allied nations con
cerned in the European war, the de-
mand for American made powder and
other munitions has decreased to a
great extent. Watt Shipp, the powder
magnate of Salem, reports to the Cap.
ital Journal today that powder has
dropped from so cents to 50 a hundred
in the various grades, and that a gen
eral lowering in prices on all commod-
tiles used in the manufacture of war
material may be looked for The Du-
Pont Powder company is at present
furnishing no powder whatever to Eu.
ropean buyers. The decrease in price
will more especially affect metals
aside from explosives. Mr.. Shipp says
that in the big explosion which occur
red in New York about week ago
there was no powder made in the

HITS OLD GUARD HARD
Declares Republican Plat.
form Registered Party's
Surrender to Privilege

cit is not pleasant task to eriticise
the political action of the party to
which one belongs" wrote Senator r.
NJ. LaFollette in LaFollette IS Magazine.
But Mr.. LaFollette did criticise his
party's action. He wrote frankly his
opinion of the platform adopted at Chi
cago. He said he was compelled to do
so by his convictions.
"The platform adopted by the re-
publican convention at Chicago said
the senator, "cannot fail to be a dis
appointment to the great majority of
the party" He continued:
"The reactionary element of the par
ty were in control of the convention.
Supplied with unlimited funds, the ma
tional committee can perpetuate its con-
troll when it represents but small min
ority of the voters.
"More than four million progressive
republican voters left the party in 1912.
They were earnest, patriotic men who
had faith in Roosevelt as leader. Hun
dreds of thousands of progressive re-
publicans who had no confidence in the
political integrity of Roosevelt refused
to abandon the party and follow him
at that time. Together with those who
joined the third party, they constitute
an overwhelming majoriy of the total
membership of the republican party.
The great mass of these voters are men
OF deep convictions. They are republi-
cans. They are for public interest and
against privilege and monopoly control
of government.
at would have been the part of wis
dom for those in control of the Chicago
convention to have remembered this re-
cent history"
The senator said that it was upon
the subject of railroad regulation that
the trainers of the platform gave the
country its greatest surprise.
"Like bolt out of blue sky comes
the platform declaration for the aboh-
tion of every state railroad commission
in the country" declared Mr.. LaFol-
lette. "The people of Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, Ore
gon, California and every other state,
are to have the regulation of the rates
and services of the railroads within
each state taken out of the hands of
their own commission, subject to their
own control, and turned over to the fed
eral government They are to have their
state governments taken away from
them to this extent. We believe the
people of every state will fight this
proposition to the last ditch"
