Stop Your Faking.

Our amiable democratic contemporary, the
World Herald, seems eager to regain its old
prestige as fake factory. 1t prints in its con-
tribtors' column letter dated Omaha over the
name az. G. Berry," which, among other things,
says:
II have always voted the republican ticket and
am still republican. but, like great many
other republicans whom ] know, ! shall vote
for Woodrow Wilson this fall"
Now, we challenge this as fake pure and
simple. We make bold to assert that whoever
wrote that letter is not republican and that he
cannot name three republicans, much less "a great
many other republicans" who are going to vote
for Woodrow Wilson this fall for any Of the rea-
sons he states We want 1t known that no such
person as "E. G. Berry Of Omaha" is listed in the
Omaha city directory, nor is any person regis
tered by that name in the office Of the election
commissioner for the city Of Omaha. We venture
to say that the Berry" who ,pretends to be re-
publican going to vote for Wilson is merely an
imaginary "huckleberry" masking one of the
World Herald takers trying to put one over with

Downfall Of the Champion Promotion Crook.

The recent conviction Of Dr.. John Grant
Lyman in the federal court Of New York for
using the mails to defraud, removes from promo
tion circles the smoothest, most versatile and
nerviest crook in the annals Of American crook
dom. Besides him the Wallingford Of stage hc-
ton is piker. A product OF rural New York
and medic by education, Lyman at the outset
Of life forsook all the avenues Of honest endeavor
and proceeded to apply his skill in separating
fools from their money. His success is measured
by 100000 gathered in and spent in twenty
years Various promotion schemes we're tried
but none proved a. lucrative as bogus gold mines
With these tine-worn appeals to human cupidity
Lyman trimmed the sucker family from New
York to California, from Toronto to London, and
clipped through several legal tolls and trials with
amazing audaeity and affected respectability Even
In Wall street he bulked large and important on
two separate occasions. while Wall street sleuths
were seeking him, and lived for months at the
same hotel with the chief Of detectives Giant
like in physique, soft spoken and fluent in con-
versation, always well dressed to suit occasion,
Lyman invariably dissrmed suspicion, and might
have remained minor pillar Of Wall street had
he kept faith with a woman Of shady reputation.
The woman scorned proved his undoing.

Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face and
body are both annoying and disfigur-
ing. Many a complexion would be
perfect if they were not present.
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck. In
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting OF
the muscles, form of dyspepsia, and
general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
sapariila. This great medicine COM
plete!y eradicates scrcfuia. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, removes hui
mors, and builds up the whole system.
1t embodies the careful training, ex-
perience, and skill of Mr. Hood, a
pharmacist for fifty years, in its quail
ity and power to cure.
Scrofula is either inherited or &C
CURED. Better be sure you are quite
free from 1t. Get Hoods Sarsaparilla
and begin taking it today.

great issues at stake, and we, as a
nation, are not prepared, nor are We

own proper defense. Patriotism and

they are now subjects Of vital inter
