Germany is permitted to eat
butter three days a week. That s
butter than none.
Republicans howl about demo-
cratic extravaganza. We pre-
sumo that instead of spending
$2O,OOO,OOO for the Danish West
Indies, Hughes and Roosevelt
would go down and take them.
Every republican but five in the
United States senate voted
against the tax on excessive
profits ON war munitions, against
the inheritance tax on swollen for
tunes, and against an increase in
the income taxes of the wealthy.
This vote was not cast 20 years
ago by these republicans, but
THIS MONTH, by the very men
who are supporting Hughes for
their president. Are you with
this Wall street support of
Hughes, or do you favor levying
taxes ON wealth instead of on
mems handsP
DR.. Belva Lockwood, the only
woman who ever ran for presi-
dent of the United States and now
the encouragement of the Wom-
ans Republic, an organization Of
women with membership OF
more than one hundred thousand,
has departed the republican party
and declared her advocacy Of the
candidacy of President Wilson.
In letter to President Wilson
DR.. Lockwood, who opened the
courts of the country to women
by securing for them a federal
enactment permitting them to ap-
pear before the United States su-
preme court, where she was the
first woman to plead, takes her
stand upon the achievements of
President Wilson.
The declaring of Mrs. Antoi-
nette Funk, former leader of the
progressive party women of Hi
nois, of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
former superintendent of schools
of Chicago, and of Miss Agnes
Nestor, president of the Glove
Makers Union, for Woodrow
Wilson, are also very significant.
There is no American in whose
integrity of opinion, strong sense
and good judgment the people Of
the United States have more con-
fidence than Thomas A. Edison.
Mr.. Edison publicly announces
his support of President Wilson.
Briefed, his reasons are:
Faced with a succession of tre-
mendous problems, any one Of
which decided the wrong way
would have been disastrous, Will
son has not got us into trouble
nor is he likely to.
He has given us peace with
honor. Talk about the United
States being despised is nonsense.
Back of our neutrality are inter
national law, the rights of human
ity and the future of civilization.
With reference to Mexico the
president has acted wisely, justly
and courageously.
With reference to preparedness
he changed and it was the proper
thing to do.
His attitude on the tariff shows
equal openness of mind. A tariff
commission will take the tariff
out of politics.
"They say that he has blund-
cred. Perhaps he has. But |
notice that he. usually blunders
forward"
In the railroad controversy the
president acted with his usual
courage and sanity.
Hughes hindsight, we learn
from his speeches, is highly de-
yeloped, but as to his foresight
we are not equally well informed.

In a page Of letters published in the

and Kitty Cats" the following Letter
from a Mexico girl appears:
although | have a pet pig, chick
ems, a little black dog, a Maltese cat,
a pair of canary birds, two calves and
as pretty a colt as ever lived, |
haven't a pet that like as well as my
little baby brother, 8 months old. He
has light brown hair and pretty blue
eyes. He can roll all over the fiooc
and get whatever he wants but he
cannot creep. He has six teeth and
eats crackers and drinks milk. He
can bite a little, too, as you will dis
cover if you put your finger in his
mouth to feel his teeth. His name Is
Allen Dee and when | call him he an
swers "Hoo-oo." When he Fuckers up
his face to sneeze he just looks like a
little Kewpie. He can whistle 50
loudly you can hear him clear across
the room. He likes to go out of door;
and look at the chickens.

how he was benefited by the new med
ieine, Tanlac, MI. Hsggard said:
II was in a bad condition for work
and was all rundown in health. !
suffered from frequent headaches
caused by overwork and worry. My
digestion was very poor. Hardly any
thing ! ate agreed with me. Gas
would form in my stomach after eat
ing and the bloating caused me great
pain. | wal bothered with pains in
ny kidney regions at times. | felt
tired and worn out before the day
was half through. | could not sleep
well at night. My condition became
so bad that my work was drudgery 70
me. ! heard so much about Tanlac |
finally made up my mind to give the
medicine a trial.
ave just finished taking my first
bottle of Tanlac and l feel greatly i'm
proved. | have a fine appetite now
and can eat what | want with a relish.
What / eat agrees with me and I'm
gaining strength fast. The pains IN
my stomach and regions are no more.
| feel like a new mar at my work
now. My sleep is restful and l
awake in the mornings feeling full Of
energy. | think Tanlac is simply fine.
| highly recommend Tanlac to all who
feel rundown and tired out"
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is es-
pecially beneficial for stomach, liver
and kidney trouble, catarrhal comp
plants, rheumatism, nervousness and
the like and is a fine tonic and system
purifier. Tanlac is now being especi-
ally introduced and explained in Mex

n IMPORTANT

With the opening of school, the busy
mother is again soon to be confront
ed with the problem of her children's
school lunch. To give her a few sug-
gestions, the agricultural extension
service Of the University Of Missouri
has just issued a bulletin, "a Cold
School Lunch"
A growing child at school must
have plenty of good, wholesome food
that is easily digested, says the bull
letin. The less unnecessary tax pur
upon his digestive organs the more
energy he will have to spare for mem
tai work. The lunch should be care.
fully seected, keeping these genera
points in mind: a The child
should have plenty of protein to keep
him growing and this should be got
ten from eggs and milk, rather than
much meat, ~ ripe fresh or cooked
fruits should be a part of every
lunch, 49, fats should be supplied in
the form Of whole milk, butter on
sandwiches, and egg yolks, (4) fried
foods are hard to digest and should
not form part of the lunch, (5) a few
pieces Of good, homemade candy may
be given, and an occasional portion of
well made pie, (6) add vegetables to
the lunch whenever possible.
Some wholesome lunches suggested
by the bulletin are:
/. One chicken sandwich, one jam
sandwich, n apple, one glass Of milk,
one small piece of cake 1.-TWO graham
or plain crackers and two apples for
-recesses.)
2. Brown bread and butter sand
witch, cottage cheese sandwich, eel
cry, one orange, nut and raisin cook
les.
3. Ham sandwich, bread and but
ter sandwich, fudge sandwich, apple
GAUGE, one glass Of lemonade.
Another important thing to con
slider is the lunch container. The
lunch should never be wrapped IN
newspapers, but put in tin pals, fibre
boxes, baskets or the ideal but rather
expensive thermos lunch box. Waxed
paper, plain white paper napkins, seal
tight jars or thermos bottle TO carry
semi-liquid foods and drinks are also
important in packing the lunch.
