HEALTH HINTS
PAclFiERs

Pacifers and summer heat make life
pretty precarious for baby. The bad
habit OF sucking on a rubber nipple
or any similar article is one for which
some other than baby is responsible.
The baby does not teach himself this
disgusting habit and he should not
have to suffer for it.
Some of the evil effects laid to this
habit are tina. 1t spoils the natural
arch Of the mouth by causing the pro-
trusion OF the upper jaw. That it In.
duces a constant flow OF saliva and
keeps the baby drooling.
The pacifer is never clean and
may readily carry the germs Of dis
ease into the baby's mouth. 1t Is
also a habit that is particularly dis.
figuring to the baby's appearance.
Thumb sucking is just as bad a
habit for baby as sucking a paci.
fer. To break the baby Of either
habit requires resolution and patti
ence OF the part of the mother.
The thumb or finger must be per-
sistently and constantly removed from
the mouth and baby's attention divert.

The baby's hands should be free

old enough to 8 his hands for his
toys, and at meal times, to save as
much unnecessary strain on his nerves
as possible. but with the approach Of

JOHN L. KENNEDY
SPEAKS AT KEARNEY
Republican Candidate for Sen.
ator Discusses Nepotism of
Wilson Administration.
PRAISES KINKAID's WORK

Kearney, Neb., Oct. l.-(Special.)-
At an afternoon meeting held in the
opera house here Saturday afternoon,
John l., Kennedy OF Omaha, repub-
lican candidate for United States sem
ator, delivered an address which
brought forth much applause. After
speaking Of the nepotism of the last
democratic administration, and after
stating that a vast number of offices
had been created and the rules of the
civil service grossly violated to enable
the last administration to put demo-
Gratis in office, from high offices down
to very low ones, he announced: Il
had always assumed that public Of
flee is a public trust, but after noting
the conduct of the democratic ad-
ministration for the last four years,
| am beginning to believe that it is
merely private snap"
Too Much Indifference.
Mr.. Kennedy remarked that it was
noticeable that there is indifference
on the part of the voters at this time,
due to the unnatural prosperity
caused by the war, but that the voters
knew that prosperity is not due to
legislation OF the democratic congress.
When he mentioned the fact of the
reunion OF the progressive and repub-
lican parties of two years ago, and said
that they had always been together
on principle, but apart on candidates,
he was roundly applauded, and again
when he observed that Charles E.
Hughes is the candidate Of all the
party and not factional candidate.
The speech delivered here this aft
ernoon was constructive in its atti-
tude, but Mr.. Kennedy stated that
the answer to the cry Of the demo-
Gratis to the their critics, What would
you have done?" is for the voters to
not only let the republican party say
what it would have DONE but to let
the republican party do it. He out
lined many things which might have
been done otherwise and stated how.
Praises Work Of Kinkaid.
In his address Mr.. Kennedy took
occasion to pay his compliments to
Moses P. Kinkaid, congressman from
the Sixth district, and to announce
that his had been an incumbency of
service. He stated that he was not
unmindful of the fact that Kearney
had native son running for that Of
flee, too, but that he had nothing to

set up the cry of who is it," and
"Oh, he's a JOKE" and similar re-
marks.
In speaking Of the great world
tragedy of the conflict now raging in
Europe, Mr.. Kennedy said: Popular
government is the solution OF this war
question. If you take the power from
the princes of Europe and place It
with the people of Europe there will
he no more world war"

Mrs. Mary A. Baum was granted a
decree of divorce from Wilhelm c.

has attracted considerable attention
the country where the principals
are we'll known. Mrs. Baum de-
MED the charges OF her husband
that she had threatened to poison him
and had attacked him with a knife and
wet dishrag. In rendering his de-
cision Judge Button held that Mrs.
Ella Reinard OF Scribner, named by

letter alleged to have been written by
her and addressed by mistake to Mrs
Baum instead of Mr.. Baum. Judge
Button will go to Dodge next week to
view the property and determine on
the amount Of alimony.

Harvey Out Firmly for Hughes;
Clues Reasons Why He Should Win

New York, Oct. l.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Colonel George Harvey, who
more than any other individual helped
to make Woodrow Wilson president
Of the United States, now urges every
patriotic American to vote for
Hughes. In the Forthcoming issue
Of the North American Review, OF
which Colonel Harvey is editor, he
reviews the record of the Wilson ad-
ministration and says the two vital
questions to be answered at the polls
are: Which of the two great parties
at this particular juncture is the better
equipped and the more likely to rem
der the highest public service, and
which Of the two designated leaders
Is the more certain to preserve, pro-
tect and defend the constitution OF
the United States.
Daniels the Inefficient
Colonel Harvey concludes that we
cannot expect adequate preparedness
in the navy while Mr.. Daniels re-
mains at its head. He says Daniels
has neither the skill nor the will to
expend effectively the great sums OF
money to be drawn from the people
by their express command for imme-
date protection, II he is retained in
authority for another four years, our
first line OF defense, already gravely
impaired, will be shattered and the
navy itself from the highest admiral
to the humblest sailor will raise his
hands to high heaven in disgust and
despair. The new secretary of war
is placed by Colonel Harvey on a
higher plane than Secretary Daniels
but he says the anonymous scheme OF
fcderalizing the militia has already
proved abortive, and il anything were
needed to affix the finality OF fail
ure, it appears In the laundering oil
the War departments call to arms
which convinced every guardsman
sent to the border that he had beer
tricked into an enlistment which hs
had never intended to make. The
question now is a question OF the
utilization OF the resources in hant
to the greatest advantage of the
country In obtaining the quickest anc
most effectual results by the repub
licans, who are sincere in their ad
vocaey Of preparedness, or the demo
Gratis who are not.
Reviewing the action OF President
Wilson In regard to the wage increas,
legislation, Colonel Harvey says thai

Beet hauling began here this week.
This years crop promises to be the
largest and best ever grown in this

marked President Garretson of the
railroad conductors, "is the carcass

and Woodrow Wilson. president of
the United States, by his act, en-
dorsed the cynical assertion.
Colonel Harvey says that Mr..
Hughes. had he been president and
had he been confronted by the broth
erhoods' demand, would have re-
sponded in effect that he sympathized
with the just demands of labor, that
personally he believed in an eight
hour day, but as it was a matter NOT
Of hours OF labor, but OF wages, which
could not be fairly determined with
out full investigation, he would ap-
point an impartial commission of ar
bitration, but that he would not act
and would not urge congress to act
under threat of duress. That is what
Hughes would have done, instead of
stridently declaring that he would
yield to no man in firm adherence
to the Nrinciple of arbitration" while
actually yielding in practice OF that
very moment. Justice would have
been rendered by an impartial
tribunal, there would have been no
strike and the honor and majesty Of
the nation would have been preserved
Why He Trusts Hughes.
Concluding, Colonel Harvey says
I'VE can say plainly that the utter
absence of self-seeking on the part
of Mr.. Hughes throughout his en-
tire career confirms the belief that
he stands for America first; while no
less surely the happenings Of the last
two years, eliminating in the betrayal
of his country for the qualification
of personal ambition. prove incon-
testably that Mr.. Wilson stands for
Wilson first. Upon the clearly
marked issues and as between the
candidates there is no reason why
any professed republican, thoughtful
progressive or principled democrat
should not, and every reason why
every patriotic American should vote
for Charles E. Hughes for president"

KENNEDY TALKS
AT LEXINGTON
Republican Candidate for Sen
ator Discusses Questions
of the Day.
HE SCORES THE DEMOCRATS

Lexington, Neb., Oct. l.-(Special.)
John L. Kennedy OF Omaha, repub.
lican candidate for United States SEN
ator, in a meeting in Aubers hall here
suggested means and ways of improv-
ing on the democratic administration
of the last four years. He was intro
duced by Fred L. Temple. chairman
of the republican county central COM
mittee.
A positive plan for the solution OF
the Mexican problem by giving up
quarreling with bandits and bandits
chieftains, and giving some attention
to the needs Of the great mass OF the
Mexican people, was suggested by Mr..
Kennedy. He proposed plan of ma
tional defense which would not require
monster navies nor large standing
armies, which he would work out by
developing an effective citizen SOL
diery, not an army, but the makings
OF an army.
Talks Good Roads.
He also talked good roads and rec
commended that the state vote an ap-
preparation to match the appropria-
tion OF the United States for the pur-
pose OF roads. Mr.. Kennedy also dis
cussed the matter OF distributing the
immigrant population. The Under
wood tariff Mr.. Kennedy asserted to
be bit OF sectional legislation. He
told how this law protects the prod
ucts of the southern farms, but does
not protect the products OF the farms
OF Nebraska. He pointed out that his
opponent, the son Of former Ne
braska United States senator on the
republican ticket, had voted for such
a measure.
Demos for Him.
Mr.. Kennedy had scarcely reached
his hotel when he was met by a num-
Der OF democrats who assured him
that they would vote for him for
United States senator and that they
would also vote for Judge Sutton for
governor.
1t is freely prophcsied here that the
county will go republican and that Mr..
Kennedy and Judge Sutton will re!
