IN PRIMARY RACE
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Has Lead Over Senator Wilcox Which
Insures Him the Nomination.
Hubbard Defeats EverSOn In
Second Assembly District.

A complete unofficial count of the
vote for governor on the republican
ticket at the primary election last
Tuesday gives Governor e. L. Philip
plurality over Senator Roy P. VIII
cox of 1874 votes. These figures may be
changed by the official canvass of the
vote, which begins at Madison on
Tuesday The official canvass of the
vote in the counties was completed
Madison.
The election has been a peculiar
one in the fact that it required whole
week to determine the result and the
official figures will be necessary to
complete the task At times the result
showed Wilcox ahead in the count and
again Philip would be in the lead, so
close is the result. No matter which
way the result goes it is pretty GER
tain that there will be a recount. This
is an expensive undertaking and
means an outlay of 81 for each pre-
cinct. But no matter which wins, the
successful one will be compelled to

DOGS on the Battlefield.

Experiments made In the training
of dogs as messengers with the ar
mics in the field have, 1t is stated,
given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half
bred collies and retrievers. A rather
poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done well. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can be fred over as
easily as the ordinary sporting dog,
and, what is quite another thing, they
will face fire at close range. Many
have shown amazing skill in getting
over, under and through all sorts Of
obstacles, including wire.

change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is so
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hct day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger

feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-

as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take tablet or
