STRANGER THAN FICTION
\ True Story For You.

It is with mingled feeling of horror and pity that a healthy man or wo- man hears or speaks of Epilepsy and its victims How much greater the torture, mentally and bodily, of ac- tual sufferings from Epileptic attacks .an only be imagined.
 Convulsions, loss of consciousness, terrible falls, etc, are bad enough in themselves to be. and are dreadful atflictions but humiliation of pub licity that so ofter accompanies these attacks cause as much mental as physical tortures. The Boyer Drug Co.,, of Ashdown have finally secured I full guaranteed remedy for Epilep- sy. Hays Specific" the great system tonic has such cures as this to prove it's merit.
 Bear Sirs-In answer to your re- quest for statement of my case, l will say I had Epilepsy, or Fits, since I was four years old. One bottle ct your medicine stopped them. I passed twenty-five worms. I can recommend it to any one afflicted with Epilepsy.
 Yours truly,

FARMERS UNION SET STANDARD
Organization Will Not Tolerate POli-
 ties in Their Work.

Little Rock, May 5.-(Special)- )-The ctorts that have been made at times in the past by aspiring politicians to use fraternities and associations of various kinds to further their poli- tIcal ambitions is being generally froWned upon by all lovers of fair play. Some organizations will not tolerate such use of membership pri- NlleGcs and the membership Of oth- CTS is discountenancing it most ef- fecHve!y. The Farmers Union has set higA standard of ethics on this subject, and other organizations might do well to follow it's example.

The New York World

The New York World in . widely copied editorial says that the Republicans should al- so nominate Woodrow Wilson. Among a large number of req sons it gives these:
 They have no presidential candidate of their own who measures up to the situation. and they do not know where to find one. They have no issue. Why not nominate Woodrow Wilson, as the Democrats are going to do, and give the world the most impressive demonstr- alton of American unity in a great crisis that it has ever known?
 we do not mean that the Republican party should shut up shop or make itself an an- neX to the Democratic party. That would be a calamity TOT 9 party of opposition is essential to republican institutions. The Republican party could noni- nate US own candidates for senators and representatives in Congress, it's own candidates TOT Governors in the various states and for all local officers Only the presidency would be excluded for the time being from the arena of partisan strife.
 No other nation with 9 leader like Woodrow Wilson would be crazy enough in the midst of a world crisis to change or to tolerate any at- tempt to bring about a change We know of no reason why the American people should be less sane than other people, or why they should permit their vital interests to be bedeyiled for the edlflcation of ambitious profes- slonal politicians.
 Republican politicians talk much about patriotism. Amer lcan prestige and the national honor. Do they believe what they say? If so, they ought to welcome the chance to nomi- nate President Wilson. That would be supreme manifesto tlon. It would strengthen Am. erlcan prestige in every capital of the world as nothing else could do. It would put the na- tlonal honor beyond the DOS slblllty of stain. It would re- veal to civilization a united re. pubic, eager for peace, una frald of war and determinedto maintain the glorious tradiM

Health Officer SpaIdine Establishes
 Quarantine in Woodstock Because
 of Suspicious Case - Town Clerk
 Fia9g Wants to Be Probate Judge
 Miss Hurtz to Teach French and
 German, Miss MeGarry, of Norwich,
 kindergartener.
 Dr. Joseph Spalding, health officer of the town of Woodstock, on Tuesday placed quarantine regulations in force there. Under these regulations, no children under the age of 16 will be permitted to enter the town unless in possession of acceptable health certif1- cates from health officers of the town from which they come.
 The action was taken following the development of a case that is under suspicion as infantile paralysis, but which pr. Spalding hopes will prove to be pneumonia. The patient is Frederick Wilcox, 19, son of Eugene Wilcox. Sunday the young mans con- dition had become so serious that it was thought. best to remove him to the Day Kimball hospital here. Monday, after a consultation of physicians, young Wilcox was sent back to Wood stock.
 pr. Spaiding said Tuesday after noon that the young man was taken i'll following an injudicious plunge in- to a cooling pool in the town of Wood stock. At the time he went in bath ing the young man was in an over- heated condition. The first i'll effect noticeable following his bath was a sore throat. Afterwards there were symptoms of pneumonia and the young mans condition gradually be- came serious. Finally he became so i'll that it was decided best to send him to the local hospital, which was done.
 Upon the young mans return to Woodstock, Dr. Spalding ordered that he be placed in quarantine. as a pro- tective measure, and, as health officer, posted notices relative to children un- der 16 years of age coming into the town.
 Tuesday morning the patient was in such favorable condition that he was able to leave his bed and walk about the house for a time, this. of course, while he was not closely observed by those charged with seeing that he re- mained as quiet as possible. His ac- tivity was taken, however, as good sign that he will recover.
 The young man has been employed by his grandfather. Hector Wilcox, and, so far as is known, has not been exposed to the disease that is. caus- ing so much worry and discussion
 pr. SpaIding says that there are a few out of town children in Wood stock, but there has been no illness among them.
