much satisfaction a young lady ap-

announcement, turned to him and said:
"What sort of shoulder have you to
suit an empty purse? ?" Nothing but
the cold shoulder, Miss"

Should There Be 4 Vacancy?

Considerable speculation centers a
round the republican congressional
candidate for this 9Th congressional
district as the time for an election and
primaries draws near.
It is not known at this time whether
or not the present incumbent, Edw.
z. Browne, of Waupaca, is candi-
date for reelection, as election inter
est is pretty generally given over to
war matters, but should there be the
possibility that he is satisfied to re-
tire on his present record, Wood
County can furnish a man in the per-
son of Theo. W. Brazeau, of Grand
Rapids, who would represent the 9Th
congressional district, at this time, to
represent Wisconsin in the national
congress. There is not a man more
fitted at any time, for that matter,
than he. In times of war or peace
he would be the same, honorable, de-
pendable, staunch, sure, conservative
and all-American.-Fr Pittsville
Record.
The above editorial taken from the
Pittsville Record will meet with hearty
approval in our city. Theodore w.
Brazeau, a member of the well-known
law firm of Goggins, Brazeau & Cog
gins, has many friends turnout this
Congressional district who would be
glad to favor him as a candidate for
congress in this district, particularly
if he desires to be a candidate. He
is very friendly to Congressman E.
E, Browne of Waupaca, the present
incumbent, and we do not believe that
he would want to be a candidate if
Mr.. Browne decides to be candidate
for the same office for the third term
Mr.. Brazeau is we'll qualified for
this position, both as to his excellent
experience in the successful prosecu-
ton of all kinds of litigation in the
circuit and supreme court. We are sure
that the Republicans of Grand Rapids
and Wood County would be glad to en-
dorse Mr.. Brazeau for this position if
he should decide to become a candidate

Sam Church for County Clerk

When Sam Church was nominated
for County Clerk, by the Republicans
his party knew what they were doing
and that he possessed Ill necessary
qualifications for the making of an
excellent official for that Office. AS
a natural consequence the people of
Wood County recognize these quail
fications on his part and elected him
to said office. He has not disappointed
them. He has been efficient in every
respect. AS a member of the Draft
Board, his labor has been greatly adj
ded to without any recompense. He
has assumed and discharged this ex-
ira service without complaint and with
great efficiency.
His nomination will be given him
without opposition by any member of
his party and it would be nice COM
pliment to him if the Democratic
party would leave this nomination
blank on their tickets as a compliment
to his efficient service. There is a
general feeling in both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, to obliter-
ate party lines and nominate good,
loyal men for Office who have proven
themselves efficient and worthy of this
recognition. We hope this disposition
will be shown in all nominations in
both parties from Governor down to
Coroner.

The Bank that does things fOry0u
Candidate for Congress

From Shawano County Advocate Dem
ocratic)
Two years ago NJ. G. Eberlein of this
city, was a candidate for congress
from this congressional district. He
made an excellent run, being only 500
votes behind Congressman Browne in
the primaries, running behind in the
counties where he was not well known
On the urgent request of his friends
he has consented to become a candi-
date again for this high office and
will soon make his formal announce
ment Attorney Eberlein was born
and raised in this city and has there
fore scores of friends throughout the
county. In his campaign two years
ago he made many friends in the
different counties in the district and
will receive their support in this cam
paign. His announcement this year
will be short and to the point, being
to win the war and loyalty. That is
where we all should stand at the pres
ent time. No one can win a nomina-
ton OF be elected to any office this
fall who is not an out and out true
American. Mr.. Eberlein will receive
support in many quarters he did have
before. He has been through one
campaign and for that reason is bet
ter known than he was two years ago.
1t would be an honor to the city to
have a congressman elected from
Shawano. Mr. Eberlein is well
known fighter in politics and he is 60
ing into this campaign to win if pos
sible and his many Shawano friends
trust that he will receive the nomina-
ton next September. Mr.. Eberlein
says that his platform will be very
simple-"Win the War and lay the
foundation to help the boys when
they return" LOYALTY must be
the watchword. | shall do all in my
power to whip Germany. Just now
that is the important thing to do"

Strong Civilians Needed

Every day sees a decrease in the
number of people who were slow to
realize that this nation is in war, and
in to win. Everywhere, now, one is
made aware of the fact that express
ed and unexpressed opposition is grad
ually evaporating. From all sides
come evidences of the fact that the
people are drawing together, shoulder
to shoulder, ready to help one another,
President Wilson and the army to put
an end to the menace of Prussianism.
The increasing number of reports
of the men dying for the country is
adding to the number of loyal men
and women who are ready to live for
their country. This will lead day by

]. E. NOrmington, Sheriff

Everybody who is familiar with the
duties of the office of sheriff, is ac-
quainted with the facts, and we be-
feve will admit that J. E. Normington
the present incumbent of the office, is
the best officer that Wood County has
ever had to fill that position. His long
experience on the Milwaukee police
force specially qualities him for this
position. During the past two years
his services have been Invaluable. He
never fails to run down criminals and
arrest them. That class of people fear
him and evade the county for that rea-
son. The valuable service he has rend
cred during his term as a member of
the Draft Board which has added
greatly to his labors and nothing to his
salary, his many friends in both par
ties have suggested that this nomina-
ton be allowed to go by default and
consequently if nobody is elected in
his place, he will continue in office
until such time as his successor is ell
ected and qualified This is the only
method by which he could be continued
in office. We know that everybody in
Wood County who has any knowledge
of his work would be pleased to see
him continue in Office. If the Demo
cratic party of Wood County would
be willing to show him this honor, he
can be continued in Office by the good
virtues of both parties.

DULL AND CHRONIC HEADACHE
AffIiotlon, Physician Asserts, May In
variabiy Be Traced to the Pres-
ence Of Rheumatism.

Rheumatic headache may be acute.
but in most cases 1t is dull and chronic,
lasting for weeks, months or years. 1t
is slightly more common In women
than In men, and 1t occurs very rarely
below the age Of 20, and most common
ly above 40 years Of age. The pain is
real and may be constant, or fairly
steady with intermlssions, writes DR..
Hugh T. Patrick in the Journal Of
American Medical Association. 1t does
not occur In instantaneous shoots or
brief excfuciating paroxysms, Nausea
and vomiting are not present with 1t.
There are good days, bad days, but
with more or less pain or soreness al
ways present. The headache is worse
after exposure to cold or dampness.
This form Of headache is really a
rheumatic affection, and evidences Of
past rheumatism are almost always
found. It's exact nature Is obscure bac-
terlal infection Of the tissues of the
aching region Is probable. Treatment
consists Of prolonged, repeated appli-
cation Of heat and the employment Of
persistent massage Of the area Of pain,
which Is most usually at the back Of
the head on both sides, and may ex.
tend down to neck, shoulders and
back. It Is tender to deep pressure, but
not to surface pressure.
