THE rURklsh BATH,

The Turkish bath is a successful!
method of finding out what purgatol =
! feels like.
Long before the people Of this coun-
try had come to know and love Turkey
it was the custom in that strange land
to take bath every once in while.
The peaceful, hyena hearted subjects
Of the sultan tried out several kinds
Of baths before lighting on the ono
which has brought comfort to so many
burdened souls and volcanic stomachs.
They tried out the sponge bath and the
wash basin bath and the tub bath and
the mud bath and the alcohol rub. but
none seemed to meet the needs of their
rough, hack-saw natures as well as the
home made variety. which is still used
in Turkey at painful and irregular in
tervals.
The Turkish bath was brought to
this country to stimulate the crop Of
total abstainers and has been an eff
fective aid to temperance. After !
man who has become carefully intoxi-
Gated from his ears down enters a

watches himself turn to the bright pink
color of porterhouse steak, he will

drinker SO high up on the water wagon
that he can't be heard without talk

The Turkish bath is given in small,
tight room which contains everything
but the head of the patient. which is
allowed to stick out and wonder how
long it will be before the roast is done.

No doubt Meredith will get several

it is even as true that Harding's appeal

WET DEMOCRATS AND HARDING.

Wilbur Marsh, leading star of the
Iowa democracy, sizes up the peculiar
Iowa situation on the governorship
thus:
Mr.. Meredith will get three or four
times as many republican votes as any
other democratic candidate for COVER
nor of Iowa ever received he said.
I'VE have an accurate check on the ut
most possible number of wet democratic
votes available for Mr.. Harding and
we can compare it with the similar sit
uation that existed when Claude Por-
ter ran for governor. He was a man
with a dry legislative record and ne lost
the votes of the wet democrats who
made prohibition the paramount issue.
Harding will get some Of those votes
but not so many as Porter lost because
at that time the state was wet ana
they feared that it might go dry under
Porter's signature if he were elected. 1t
is perfectly clear that Mr.. Meredith will
get three or four times as many repIb-
lican votes as Porter got"
Mr.. Marshs assertion that Meredith
will get several times the number Of
republican votes ever received by a
democratic candidate in Iowa is a
safe estimate. There is sturdy
and steadfast opposition to the
republican nominee in the ranks of his
own party. That it is opposition that
will endure to the marking of ballots
next fall is evidenced by the fact that
it is a moral opposition and includes
his own church conference and those
of other churches.
But that Harding win not lose more
wet democratic votes than Porter is
not clear On the contrary the opposi-
ton of the vets to Meredith is much
more determined than against Porter
1t is complicated by a real fealty to
Harding. The democratic vets who re-
fused to vote for Harding because he
was personally adverse to the liquor
traffic had no home for the time be-
ing. There was none for whom they
desired to vote. But they want Hard
ling. They want to vote for him. He

SERVICE OF THE N. c. 4.

The Y. NJ. c. A OF Iowa strength
ened its high repute for prompt service
when the Iowa guard was modified
at Des Moines. The ~" was pre-
pared and ready Within twenty four
hours the ''Y" had headquarters in a
big tent near the center of the camp
equipped with writing tables, books,
magazines and amusements. piano,
monographs, baseball outfits, etc, and
was offering a meeting place to SOL
ders away from home.
The secretary reports that before all
of the equipment had arrived at Camp
Dodge hundreds Of soldiers were TAX
ing advantage of the conveniences and
fellowship offered by the Y. NJ. c. A.
tent. Within twenty four hours your
secretary and assistants gave out 5000
sheets of writing paper and 1000 en-
velopes. During this time $50 worth
of stamps were sold to the men. Since
the opening day an average OF $500
have been given out: $50 worth Of
stamps and post cards are sold daily.
Sharpers were making eXhorbitant
profits on the sale of stamps and post
cards so when the association sold
these things at actual cost it readily
won the good will Of the men in camp.
Fathers and mothers whose sons are
exposed to the temptation Of camp
