THE FIFTY-SEyEN KINDS OF IN
DIGESTION.

One OF the greatest surgeons in
America-we may as well get right
down to business here at the begin
ning-summed up his wide experience
in this fashion:
"A woman who is fair, fat and 40
and belches gas, probably has gall
stones"
1t might be added that she always
knows il is potatoes, eggs, fat meat,
fresh fruits or nuts that produces the
gas. Distress following the eating of
some one particular article of diet is
striking feature in the history OF
case of gall-sac disease. Indigestion
of this type severe enough to rout the
doctor out of bed at night is almost
certain TO be due to gallstones. The
diagnosis, mind you, is not so much
matter of reprisal as of calm next day
reflection. When several return calls
of like character occur in the course of
a year an X-ray reconnaissance of the
field is warranted, to put it mildly.
Indigestion may be real or spurious.
Mostly it is spurious. The more we
learn about the physiology and path
ology Of the food tube the less conf
dence do we place in a diagnosis OF
genuine indigestion. AS a rare and
perfectly manifest accident just indi-
gestion undoubtedly occurs, but as a
freqent or habitual ailment, in a per-
son who lives an ordinarily regular
life, the diagnosis of intestinal indi-
gestion, or acute Indigestion, or ner-
vous dyspepsia, or ''acidity," is open to
serious question.
Every benedict is entitled to one at
tack of real Indigestion and it is the
part of discretion for him to grin and
bear it. Tough flour, however, doesn't
explain a habit of indigestion. When
one begins to quarrel with his food il
is high time to learn what is wrong
inside.
Most cases of obstinate or habitual
indigestion coming under medical no
tice belong 10 one of three types, all
spurious. The gladstone type already
mentioned, the ulcer type, and the can

emily brought on by indulgence in
some particular article of diet. IL be-
comes necessary to rule out gall
stones or gall-sac trouble as first
step in diagnosis.
In a later talk we shall consider in

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

". r. Boyd, writing in the North
American Review, comes to the con-
clusion that the direct primary is a
about? The writer, answering, says
there has been some abuse of the con-
vention system. 1t was charged that
corrupt influences controlled nom
nations by means of the packed eau
Gus. In some instances, they did. I'm
der the spur of bitter fractional con-
tests, many things were done at once
disgusting and disgraceful. But all
the evils incident to the caucus sys-
TEN could have been remedied by a
simple statute legaliZing the caucus
and laying down rules for its conduct
There was no need to abandon the
basic principles Of representative gov
eminent Even the caucus system as
it existed could have been rendered
much less harmful by a strict atten-
tion to civic duty on the part of the
people. How many precincts could
have been controlled through a packed
caucus, if the decent voters of every
precinct had made it a point to attend
the caucus? But such a thing as at
tempting to remedy political defect
by devotion to the ordinary duties of
citizenship does not appeal to the ay-
erage American. He wants legisla-
tive remedy, a new law, a cure-all that
will enforce itself. And so these neg
ligent citizens who never went to
caucus in their lives, and who often
had to be dragged TO the polls by
party workers, began to claInor for
primary law, led on by politicians
who hoped to profit by such enact
ment They raised the cry Of Back
to the peoplei Let the people rule
those same people who went to the
theatre or To the club on caucus
nights.
What has been the result. Has the
boss been dethroned? Does the office
seek the man? Have the people great
err power over nominations than they
had under the old system? Has the
personnel of Office holders improved?
Not one Of these questions can be an
swered in the affirmative. The boss is
as powerful as ever The only thing
left to the people is to choose from the
list presented on the primary ballot
Such a thing as drafting a man at an
especially important hour for a mighty
task is absolutely impossible. Never
in the history OF America was the
personnel OF public life so weak and
Incompetent as il is today.
The original advocates OF the pri-
mary, VINO were honest, went upon the
theory that every voter is deeply in
terested in public affairs, and that, If
given direct respon sibility, he would
carefully weigh the qualifications of
all the candidates, and that only fit
men would have a chance. Now, disa-
greeabIe as the truth is, the average
voter is not deeply interested in pub
lie affairs. The average voter knows
little and cares less about things po-
lifical, unless some personal or fnan-
cial interest is directly involved IN

A POLITICIANS TASK

Charles Evans Hughes, republican
candidate for the presidency, faces a
politicians task-not statesman's
The statesman's task Is to unity
opinion and action in the service Of the
public interest The politicians task
is to keep different sections of the
public from finding out how irrecon-
cilable each others ideas and pur-
poses are until after certain men have
been elected to certain Offices. Mr.
Hughes task, says the St Louis Re
public, Is to get himself elected presi-
dent by the aid of political happy
family" inclusive enough to place
chairs for Teddy Roosevelt and the
German-American alliance, and Reed
Smoot, Elihu Root and Victor Muir
dock, Clifford Pinchot and Bill Barnes,
at one f1reside.
That these men and the forces they
represent can never be gotten to want
and TO work for the same things is too
clear TO admit of discussion. They
are made differently. They see differ
emily, think differently, love and hate
differently. There is just one way to
unite them all in support OF Hughes.

AMERICAN VICTIMS AT

nit, they said that the lower estimate

TRY OIL OF kOREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO RE-
DUCE SUPERFLUOUS

People who are confined within
doors and who are deprived of fresh,
invigorating air and exercise must
take precaution to guard against over
stoutness, as fat acquired by indoor
life is unhealthy and a danger to
the vital organs of the body Lack
of exercise in the fresh air is said
to weaken the oxygen carrying power
of the blood so that it is unable to
produce strong muscles and vitality
and the formation of unsightly and
unhealthy fat is the result.
If you are 10 or 30 pounds above
normal weight you are drawing on
your reserve strength and are con-
stantly lowering your vitality by car
rying this excess burden. Any per-
sons who are satisfied in their own
mind that they are too stout are ad-
vised to go to the City Drug Store or
any other good druggist and get a
box of oil of korein capsules, and
take one after each meal and one
just before retiring at night
Even a few days treatment has
been reported to show a noticeable
reduction in weight, improved diges-
ton and a return of the old energy;
footsteps become lighter and the skin
less flabby in appearance as super
fuous fat disappears.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot
injure, and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce 10 or 20
pounds is advised to give this treat
ment trial.

Mr. Siebert was down in front of the

horses, causing them to run away. Mr..
Siebert was dragged for some distance,
finally being run over by wheel of
the binder. His injuries are consid
