WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
 IF I THREW YOU A KISS ?''

What would you say. if threw you a kiss?" asked Raymond leroy, piano player .p a Bridgeport cabaret about six week ago.
 \ "Pd think you were the laziest man ever saw in my life," answered Miss Gertrude Katz, a cabaret singer, who had inspired the question.
 That, according to their friends, is the way they first met. It was a case of love at first sight and that love has ripened in six weeks to the point where they are married. They part ed, but when Raymond .got a place at Savin Rock he felt lonesome. Ger tie had gone to Waterbury. Ray stood it as long as he could, then went to the Brass City and hunted up his be- loved. It was only a matter of min utes before the question had been asked a license procured and Attor- ney Henry w, Minor had said the words which Joined the pair in the bonds of matrimony. "

|M'CORMICK RAPS , WILSON CRITICS
 ON MILITIA VOTE.
Chairman Says It Is Treason to Accuse President of
 Army Politics.

New York, July >28-Vance c. Mo Cormick, chairman of the Democratic national committee. yesterday de- nouncedr as reasonable statements emanating from Republican sources and ascribing to President Wilson an intention of keeping the Nationa. Guard on the Mexican border until after election in order to Keep them from voting. The President, accord ing to these statements, had become convinced that the guardmen's vote would not be in his favor.
 T am not going to play politics with the United States army" said Mr., Mccormick, when these state ments were brought to his notice yes- terday. ''The army is not the prop erty of any party. but the property of the whole people. I think those who are trying to do so are treading on very dangerous ground. The people will be quick to resent any attempt to use the armed foEce of the United States as football in politics. whether 1t be done by. Federal ad- ministration orr by 9 political party anxious to get back into power and not over scruplous about the means of getting back.
 "Those men are on the border de- lending their country's interests and doing patriotic service. Statements have been made in certain quarters which closely border on treason. To criticise. the domestic policy of an ad- ministration is one thing, but to ques- ton the motives of the President in connection with matters involving the relations of this country with other nations in my opinion is pretty nearly reasonable.
 "The Wilson administration is will ing and prepared to stand on its re- cord of four years of achievement. am not interested, as national chair man, in anything that is being done with a view to legislation to open a way for recording the guardsmen's vote. If they have a legal right to vote, in my opinion, a way should be foundSto let them vote.
 we are not afraid of the soldier vote or any other vote. Those boys are reading the newspapers. Let them obtain correct information on both sides in this campaign and we stand ready to accept the result. Let those who are out and want to get in tell what they would have done if they had been in the Presidents place. N
 Chairman Mccormick, said he was not yet prepared to announce the per- sonnel of the prospective campaign comittee which has been so many weeks in the process of formation.

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS

Coughing weakens the lungs, tears the fine throat lining and produces a strain on the entire body. The more you cough the weakef you get, the lungs are robbed of their blood supply and fall prey to germs. You can pro- tect your lungs by taking Leonardi's 8 Cough Syrup (Creosoted). It cuts and raises the phlegm without straining the body, makes breathing easy, opens up clogged throats and nostrils and has healing and soothing action through it's antiseptic power.

Every man should save definite

The amount that a man saves is
what the speaker termed paying bust

essentials OF success. Many businesses
and many men are falling because
their business does not pay. Such
failures are usually caused by the. abb

Confidence is another necessity Of

it had been thought the pursuit and
capture of Villa would be accomplish.
