Stomach Troubles,

Persons who have stomach trouble
are apt to become discouraged. They
will see by the following that their
chances Of recovery are excellent. A.
K. Williams, Independence, Va, tells
of remarkable cure that was effect
ed in that vicinity. One Of his GUS
toners was so badly afflicted with
stomach trouble that he was sent to
a hospital, but received little benefit
and came home to die. Mr.. Williams
suggested that he try Chamberlain's
Tablets which he did, and today he
is a we'll man and weighs 175 pounds.

Lawrence Gazette: Governor w.
r. Stubs was before the congress
sional judiciary committee the other
day pleading for some relief from
the packers combine. Governor
Stubbs declared that fines against
the packers were jokes And every
one knows that is a fact. A packer
cares nothing for fine. All he has
to do is to pay and get even and
away ahead Is to lower the price he
pays for stock, and raise the price
of his meat products. A fine has no
terrors for a man who can pay 1t
With the money OF some one else.
And repeatedly the packers have
shown that that is just what they
will do. Mr.. Stubs demonstrated
the truth of this, and said: Fines
are Jokes. They are not effective.
The producers and the consumers
pay the penalty. Anyone who Jug
giles with the prices of food when
millions are struggling for bread
should be imprisoned and not fined.
Forty per cent Of the feed lots OF
this country are empty because Of
present market conditions

DWIGHT EISENHOWER STILL
AT FORT SAM HOUSTON

Mr.. and Mrs. David Eisenhower
today received a letter from their
son Dwight, a lieutenant in the
army stationed at Fort Sam Hous-
ton. He informed them that al
though two companies of the 10Th
regiment, of which he is a member,
have gone to the interior of Mexico
he is still stationed at the fort. He
mentiones that he has passed all
the necessary qualifications for en-
trance to the aviation corps but was
yet undecided whether to enter or
not. His parents will write him
and try to persuade him from be-
coming a flier. There is unusual
activity and much talk among the
soldiers as regards the Mexican sit
uation but he offered no opinions
or predictions as to the outcome as
bis correspondence had to pass the

DEGENERACY IN KANSAS

Here is serious statement of a
situation in Kansas that every think
ing man and woman should read.
1t is from the Topeka Capital:
In 20 years the population of Kan
sas has increased II per cent. In
this time our degenerates have In
creased in number from 2039 to ap-
proximately 1000, or about ESQ per
cent.
Lest these figures be taken as
exhibiting Kansas unfavorably In
comparison with other communities
it should be said that the last fig
ures, 1000, are not those of the
Kansas census, but an estimate fol
Kansas based on the census of other
states. The first figures given are
from an accurate census taken by
the United States 20 years ago.
In 16 years the actual insane
epileptics and feeble minded in the
state have increased 102 per cent
or nearly seven times as fast as the
whole population; therefore nearly
ten times as fast as the sane popu'
lation.
The defective are increasing with

sence of proper restraining laws

With the degenerate and defective

BLUE SKY

When in doubt play safe. Blue
sky is too common in weather and
investments. Black earth is COM
mon, too, but its ownership means
more.
Once upon time an Abilene man
who had saved a portion of his sal
airy, listened to a promoter from
Santa Loona, CAL, whose company
was distilling gold from sea water.
He listened too long. Today the pro-
moter has the gold and the Abilene
man the water.
The next man who came by was a
solicitor for the Spinaless Cactus,
Incorporated, of Corpus Christie
pher, New Mexico. The man bought.
This spineless corporation never had
backbone enough to get up and an
swer inquiries about dividends. This
also was vanity and vexation of
spirit.
The next man along represented
the Figless Fig Syndicate of Holy
Smoke Valley, Ariz.; and the next
man the Pineless Pineapple of St.
Pollyann, Fla. The investor is now
saving up enough money to pay for
an excursion to the hole where
these disappeared.
Finally a sympathetic friend gave
the man a bum steer on the wheat
market Like Pharaoh's ill-favored
kline, this brute ate up the wheat
and was none the fatter therefor.
So it fell out that this investment,
like unto its predecessors, buttered
no parsnips.
And all this while close about the
daily walks Of this man in Abilene
and Dickinson county were lots and
acres of earth so full of substantial
value that you couldn't knock the
profit out of them with a hickory
club. The acres raised salable crops
and the lots rose in salable value
ard people grew well-to-do on the
proceeds.
Thus appears the truth of the
adage, Anybody can save money,
but it takes a wise man to spend it. J"

eminent and that we were to have
a large measure of cooperation from
Carranza's men. 1t now appears,
from the note which Carranza has
sent to Lansing, that no complete
assent was ever given to the pur-
suit of villa and that the Mexican
government feels justified In de-
handing that our men withdraw.
There is but one way of fifty
characterizing the conduct OF the
administration toward the people
OF this country whose patience has
been so sorely tried by the blunder-
ing futility and the hateful humilia-
ton of the several episodes which
have marked our relations with
Mexico by a trail OF obloquy and
ignominy. The short and ugly word
has place here as it rarely has
had anywhere.

KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT

It is a little curious how history
gets twisted. Within a month Col.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Charles D. Hilles,
the one in an interview and the 9TH
er in a speech before the Hamilton
club in Chicago, found occasion to
refer to the taking of Vera Cruz by
the American fleet, and both of
them stated that the attack upon
the city was part of President Will
sons campaign to compel Huerta to
salute the flag.
In point Of fact the controversy
with Huerta over the salute of the
flag had nothing whatever to do, or
at most, was but remotely incident
to, the assault upon Vera Cruz. One
night about midnight there came to
the navy department a cablegram
from Admiral Fletcher reporting
the approach of a German vessel
which was believed to have a cargo
of ammunition consigned to Huerta,
and asking instructions. The presi-
dent was called out of bed and the
message was read to him over the
telephone. He replied: "Tell Fletch-
err to take Vera Cruz" and went
back to bed-having sentenced FL
American marines and more than
200 Mexican soldiers and citizens to
death. He gave the order, OF
course, for the purpose Of prevent
F, ing the cargo of war supplies from
reaching Huerta. But after the city
had been taken and the people kill
ed the president was informed by
his legal advisers that he had no
right to prevent this cargo from
landing; and In point of fact the
German ship sailed around the cor
ner and landed its shell at q port
OF Mexico. Because he thought he
knew it all, becaose of his school
teacher habit of consulting nobody
the president committed horrible
blunder-a blunder which cost near
/ " three hundred people their lives
which cost this country several
million dollars. and which gave the
Mexican people new cause to hate
US. Only the other day the anniver-
sary of the landing Of the Ameri-
can troops required, and the people
Of Vera Cruz observed it as Day
of Sorrow"

Kansas afforded a fine illustra-
tion this spring of the great truth
that in politics prosperity is the
father of discord and adversely the
mother of harmony. Not an unkind
word was spoken at the Republican
state convention-and hardly a
kind one at the Democratic conven-
ton. The party in power has every
thing to quarrel over, the party out
of power has nothing to breed dis
sention. 1t is the way of the world
and there is no sense in the Repub-
licans gloating over the contrast for
four years from now the Democrats
will be as harmonious as the Re.
publicans were this year.-Iola Reg

per cent. This is chiefly and mainly
for the maintenance of degenerate
families. Yet county care of degen-
crates is a failure. If the state took
over this entire function, relieving
the counties Of a duty that they do
not perform and have no proper
facilities for performing, the in
creased cost of the state charitable
work would be offset by the dimin-
ished cost of county poor.

T1IE oboroa made nv Burt William

THE charge made by Burt Williams,
Democratic candidate for governor,
that Gov. Philip attempted to pass
legislation which would break down the
child labor laws, in which Mr.. Williams
referred to the so-called stone quarry
bill which was defeated in the 1915 leg
islature, is effectually answered by the
record on the bill. This bill was intro
duced in the assembly without the gov
errors knowledge and at the request
of 200 farmers in Waukesha county. 1t
provided that boys over sixteen might
be employed to drive teams and do
other work in which there was no dan
ger around stone quarries. When the
matter was brought to the attention OF
Gov. Philip, he called those interested
to his office, and said he would not sign
such bill. The bill in the meantime
had been passed by the assembly, but
after the governors statement mo-
ton was made to reconsider the vote,
which passed and for which many adj
ministration assemblymen voted, and
then a motion was made to indefinitely
postpone the bill. 1t might be interest
ing to Mr.. Williams to know that flf-
teen Democrats voted against indefinite
postponement, which meant that they
were for the bill. Under the circum-
stances, when Gov. Philip was respon-
sible for the defeat of the measure,
Mr.. Williams attack is hard to under.
