Grandmother Was the Druggist

In the early days Of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and
her drugs consisted mostly of roots
and herbs gathered from the fields and
forests. There was peppermint for in
digestion. mullen for coughs, skullcap
for nervousness, thoroughwort for
colds. NORWOOD for bruises and
sprains and so on. They were success
full remedies, too. 1t was from a COM
bination of such roots and herbs that
Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass,
more than forty years ago, originated
her now famous Vegetable Com
pound: and during all these long years
no other remedy has ever been dis
covered to restore health to ailing
women so successfully as this good
old-fashiored root and herb medicine.

Cigaret Friends and Foes Will
Clash in Legislature.
Two Sworn Enemies of the Pill
Coming Back.

Butler County Is Sending q

He Is a Democrat and Wants

BY A. l.. SHULTZ.
Members of the third house of the
Kansas fegislature-the supreme arbi-
tors of procedure from the Hobbies and
galleries-will not yearn in vain for
activity in January. Their thirst for
gore will be fully satisfied. Once and
for all the Kansas cigaret legislation
is TO be disposed of. The battle is to
go to the finish-to a final knockout.
At least two members of the house
are coming. to Topeka to fight for a
law that will put the cigaret in the
class with demon rum and to make
both the man who barters and the man
who smokes The coffin nail a criminal
in the land. All of which might be of
little concern. That is, it might be
of little concern if it were not for the
fact that a friend and champion of
the cigaret is also coming to Topeka.
And the friend of the cigaret is coming
with a solemn, serious. binding pledge
to his people that he will fight for the
repeal of the states existing anti
cigaret law.
Promise Hot Fight.
Legislative visitors will find some
real diversion in the cigaret fight this
winter. Two sworn enemies of the
pill are coming back to fight for a
law that will make cigaret smoking as
nearly akin to treason, arson and
mayhem as possible. Introduce on the
side of the assumed purity, virtue and
goodness H. f. Graham of Holton.

people who see straight and certain
path to the everlasting bow vows thru
the cigaret evil, find in Graham and
Collins champions of the first water.
There may be a justification for the

MANY POUNDS OF

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-America's fight
ing men in the United States and
abroad today were to attack the great

Typical of the preparation for these
dinners in the United States, the menu
for the 10000 blue jackets at Great
Lakes naval training station called for
$4,000 pounds of turkey, $4,000
pounds of sweet potatoes. $4,000

, cigaret. But such justification never
appealed to Graham and Collins.
Butler County Champion.
Now the choir will sing as r. c..
Cox, lawyer. from Augusta. Butler
county, looks, for his seat and pre-
pares to answer roll call. Who is
Cox? He's the little David who is
coming to Topeka to smash the
Goliath in the form Of anti-cigaret
agitators. Maybe the new David
doesn't know all the troubles that sur
| round his mission. But he is coming
just the same. And up to a reason
ably late hour. the lawyer from Au-
gusta had shown neither fear nor
concern. Reports from Butler county
indicate this Mr.. Cox party is not
easily frightened. Moreover. he ranks
high as a lawyer. Fact is. he seldom
enters into the trial of a rough and
tumble lawsuit that someone wishes he
had not tinkered with the buzz saw.
Cox is. moreover, a Democrat-one
of the thirteen who will draw the
| most uncomfortable seats on the ex-
treme north pole side of representative
hall. Collins and Graham are Repub-
| licans. All of which-quoting the late
| of nations.
Cox Has Plans Made.
1t is the intent and avowed purpose
! of this Mr.. Cox to knock the everlast-
ing enacting clause from the anti
cigaret bill as it stands today. He is
not satisfied with blocking more
drastic legislation. He is out to repeal
the law which his neighbor John Ed
| wards of Greenwood county wished on
| the state twelve years ago.
| Looking at the thing from the view
| point of the fourth estate, which has
refereed many bloody battles of
former years, Mr.. Cox has selected for
himself a man sized job. He is
champion of a cause which usually
gets many we'll wishes and few votes
on final roll call. The ladies' lobby
will worship at the shrine of Collins
and Graham. 1T is not an easy matter
to stiffen the backbone of a Kansas
legislature to the point that it will defy
the ladies-God bless 'em-and vote
| as it gosh durn pleases. Nor has the
back stiffening task become easier
with the extension of suffrage. None
the less Mr.. Cox selected the job on
his own motion and the cigaret fight
this winter ought to cause visitors to
forget weather conditions and seek
seats at the ring side.

Seven Men Convicted
In Big Liquor Swindle
Made $5oO,OOO in Fraudulent
Bonded Warehouse Receipts,
Saws Prosecutor
Says Prosecutor

Seven men were found guilty Of
using the mails to defraud liquor
dealers ii all parts of the country yes
terday before Judge Julian 7. Mack
III the Criminal Branch of the Federal
District Court after a trial lasting
three weeks. The convicted men, who
will be sentenced on Monday, are Leo
Prince, Joseph Ulmer, Richard and
Henry kobsa, Joseph Setback, Rudolph
Szathmarz and Adolph Penncr.
Assistant United States District At
torney f. Paul Yaselli presented evi-
dence which showed that more than
100000 had been made from liquor
dealers through the operation Of the
swlndllng scheme. He showed that the
men had furnished saloonkeepers with
what they claimed to be bonded ware
house receipts, but which were really
certificates of the Seminole Distilling
and Distributing Company, of 500 Fifth
Avenue.
The swindlers claimed the certificates
would enable liquor dealers to get
whiskey on the ms stalment plan from
a bonded warehouse. When the money
was sent to the band, according to Mr.
faselli. they kept it and failed to sup
ply the whiskey.
During the course Of the defence
Prince and his confederates asserted
that at least twenty-five other con-
Germs in New York and other parts of
the country were doing business in the
same way.

White House Is
Silent on Plea
To Savc Moone,

WASHINGTON. March 2o-The only
comment OF White House officials to.
day or President Wilson's telegram
to Governor Stephens asking him to
extend executive clcmency in the
Mooney case, was that they would
neither affirm nor deny such tele-
gram had been sent.
The Presidents action. which has
few precedents in American judicial
history, comes as the climax of much
effort by agencies Of the Federal gov
eYnment to have the conviction OF
Mooney reversed and TO get for him .
new trial.
When President Wilson sent his
labor mediation commission West sew
eral months ago to look into numerous
labor disturbances, which were threat
cning the governments war production
programme, it was specially charged
10 look into the Mooney case and make
a report. The commission reported
conclusions that the Mooney case had
become so involved with the issues Of
the bitter contest between capital and
labor in San Francisco. that he should
have new trial. About the same time
the Bolshevik disturbances reached
their height in Russia and all the In.
fuence of the United States was being
exerted to preserve the new democracy.
Russian agitators of the Lenlne and
Trotzky type, opposing the efforts OF
the United States. were using the
Mooney case as one of their chief ar
guments to make the Russian people
believe that the pleadlngs OF tne
United States for the cause OF democ-
racy were insincere.
"The feeling of disQuietude aroused
by the case must be needed" the com i
mission reported to the President, "lot
if unchecked it impairs the faith lnas
our democracy protects the io~iles'
ard the unworthy against false accu-
sations. War is fought with moral as
we'll as material resources :,
1t is woll known that virtually all
the prominent labor leaders upon
whom the President has been caliins
for labor's cooperation in the war have
been asking the President to lntefVens u
for the relief Of Mooney, and many o.
the Administration advisers nave
been favoring such step. After ls.
ceiving the report of the comm'ss'0a
