relief. He promptly put into effect
the legislative expression Of a great
program. He did not talk. He did

He released the nations resources and
set the energies of all men free to
exploit them. He destroyed CONNER

The prosperity of the nation is the

ing the destiny of democracy. -Four
years ago the nation was not at work
With resources boundless, with hun
bred million people eager to achieve
and do, commerce languished, indus
tries halted, men were idle. The coun-
try struggled in the tolls of an mad

at the mercy of piracy. The small
business man was bound hand and

over the business world.
Prosperity and Its Cause
Now bursting granaries, teeming
factories, crowded railways and over
laden ships distribute wealth and COM
fort to uncounted millions the world
over. Production outruns the means
of distribution. The parallel of Amer
lean prosperity is not found in indus
trial history; nor is it causeless.
1t did not descend, like a merciful
accident, from heaven. 1t is not due
to the devastations of revised tariff
1t is not the resul of destructive leg
islation. 1t cannot be attributed to the
manufacture of war materials, consti-
tuting bare 5 per centum of the
volume of national business. War is
destruction, not production. War cur
tails international trade. War de-
presses industrial energy. When the

GARDNER is CENTRAL FIGURE
An Important Meeting Of Prominent

Springs, Mo.

A political gathering OF no small
Significance was held at the Elms
hotel in this city, Thursday afternoon,
In which Col. Fred D. Gardner OF st.
Louis. Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was the central figure.
Many Democrats from this section
of the state, learning that Col. Gard,
ner would be in Excelsior Springs on
Thursday, came in to see him and
talk over the political situation.
Among those present were farmers.
bankers, newspaper men, stockmen,
lawyers and doctors and merchants,

1t is generally conceded in this
part of the state that Gardner is
particularly strong with the farmers,
and 1t would seem that larger por-
ton OF Francis Wilson's strength
has gone over to Col Gardner.
Col Gardner announced here that
he positively would take no part in
any fractional fight anywhere, that he
would not in the slightest manner
disparage the claims of the other
candidates, but his name would be
on the ballot and the Democrats
could decide for themselves as to the
type of man they wanted. The

itself in making Col Gardner the

CARE OF SKIN is
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH

The skin is very important to the
welfare Of the human body, and there
fore should be kept in the very best
condition in order to carry out its
functions properly" says Prof. NJ. P.
Ravenel Of the department of proven
tive medicine of the University of
Missouri.
Prof. Rayerel says that in the care
of the skin cleanliness is of first i'm
portance. For ordinary purposes te-
pid water may be used in bathing,
but the last rinsing should be in cold
water. A bland soap should be used
at least once day with certain
amount of friction. Highly perfumed
soaps should be avoided, and medi-
Gated soaps should be used only on
the advice of physician.
In addition to bathing with water.
the air bath is very important, and
preferably should be taken upon arts
ing and again on going to bed. Dur
ing the air bath it is advisable to rub
the body with the open hand, which
increases the circulation and gives
healthy glow to tie skin, enabling it
to resist cold.
Use OF cosmetics should be avoided.
Most so-called skin foods contain
grease as their principal ingredient.
Grease tends to overload the sweat
glands and to clog the pores of the
skin. There is no such thing as a
skin food applicable on the outside.
The skin is nourished only by circu--
iatIon as are other parts of the body.
Generally speaking, greasy and in
dlgestlble foods must be avoided, and
nourishing, easily digestible foods
must be sought. The care of the d.
gestive tract is most important. Con-
stipation is especially to be avoided.
This can be done best by regulation
OF the diet and not by taking medi-
cine. To sum up, the hygiene of the
skin depends on cleanliness and main
tenanee of good circulation.

Robb Always Ran
Ahead of Ticket

To nominate the strongest man for
office is the duty of the Democrats at
the primary election August /, 1916.
This is not the time to nominate men
who in the hour of our country's
greatest necessity line themselves up
against the real issue and showed by
their vote divided force. This is
not the time to nominate men who
play petty politics for personal gain,
not men whose record must be ex-
planned or apologized for. But we
must nominate men with a clean per-
sonal and party record; men who can
carry the banner of Democracy to
victory; men Of strong character and
broad mind. Mr.. Robb, who is run
ming for Congress, is that class of
man. The Democrats have never had
representative in Congress who
stood closer to Democratic principles,
served his people with more fidelity
or made a cleaner record than Hon
Edward Robb during the eight years
he was member of the national law
making body.
To prove that he is a strong man
we need only refer to each election at
which he was candidate. He always
ran ahead of his ticket. Even in the
landslide in which he went down to
defeat he polled BAG more votes than
he received in 1902 when he was cleo
ted by plurality of 1919 votes. Mr..
Robb is the man to nominate for Con-
gress. He is absolutely honest, and
is right on all great questions. Go to
your precinct on the first day of Au-
gust, 1916, and cast your vote for Mr.
Robb for Congress.-PerryvilleSun.

The latest argument against the

another word for single tax. 1t is
more of dodge than an argument,
however, and could easily be refuted
by any man with the intelligence Of

taxed just as 1t always has been. The
mortgages on bonds would be exempt
from taxation, just as government
bonds are, thus enabling the banks
to float them at low rate of interest

low prevailing rates. If this is single

POLITICAL NOTES

The crowd that forced the nomina-
ton of Taft four years ago, by meth
DDS universally denounced as high
handed, unfair and dishonorable in
the extreme, are the same fellows that
forced the nomination of Hughes.
Four millions Progressives repudiated
that crowd in 1912. What was wrong
in 1912 cannot be right in 1916.

 Ever Held.
REMARKABLE PLEA
 FOR PREPAREDNESS
Wall Streets Biggest Men Join with Their Employees and Thousands of Others in Great Display of
 Patriotic Enthusiasm.

New York, May 13.-The greatest civic parade in the history of this country was witnessed here today when 151,0 ,000 enthusiastic men and women marched through the flag bedecked streets as a demonstration of their belief in national prepared ness.
 The great line of marchers, estimated at 20 miles in length, was viewed by more than one million persons. There was hardly one who did not wave the stars and stripes. Many who had witnessed other great parades declared they had never witnessed a demonstra- tion where patriotic enthusiasm reached such high pitch.
 The great buildings in Wall street and adjacent thoroughfares were lit- orally covered with flags and bunting, while bands stationed at every corner played patriotic airs.
 Business was suspended at the noon hour, and officials of banks, trust companies and other institutions joined with their employees and hasten ed to the headquarters, from which they were to start an hour later in the parade.
 Mayor Mitchell, Major-G General Wood and Rear Admiral Usher oc- cupied the reviewing stand. Cover nor Whitman viewed the demonstra- tion from club, and declared it was the most remarkable example of patriotism he had ever witnessed.

London, May 14-Thc Germans continued their efforts to break through the French line in the Yer. dun region. Attacks against the French positions west of hill BOA anG along the slopes of Le Mort Homme were repulsed, according to the lat est French official statement.
 Paris reports intense artillery ac- tivity on both sides in the Cham pagne region.
 Further to the north, the Germans made three attacks against British trenches, between the river Somme and Maricourt. In one attack the Germans succeeded in entering a British trench, but were driven out later, the war office here reports.
 Petrograd reports further progress for the Russian arms in Armenia A powerful Turkish attack. delivered at night against the Russian positions on a high mountain range in the direction of Erzingan, resulted in the capture of 30 officers and 365 Turk ish soldiers by the Russians.
 A successful conclusion of a two days engagement between the Rus sian left wing and the Turks is re- ported by Petrograd, which states al- so that Turkish offensive in the region of Mammakhatun has been checked.
 In the east the Germans are dis playing activity along the Riga Dvinsk front, and Petrograd reports indicate an expectation of a deter mined drive by Field Marshal von Hindenberg in this region in the near future. It is not believed in the Russian army headquarters that any general offensive by the Germans on the Russian front is in immediate prospect.
 An offensive by the Germans against the British expeditionary force in German East Africa has been barren of result, according to an off cial statement by the war office.
 Vienna, reports continually increas- ing activity in the vicinity of the Volhynian fortress triangle on the Rus sian front, without decisive results, nor have there been important shifts in the line on the Austro- Italian front.
 Dissatisfaction has been widely ex- pressed in Germany recently with the ministerial handling of the food situ- ation, as an outgrowth of which riots have been reported.
