Must Stay at Home

The time-honored custom of
Missouri state officials and their
chief assistants to enjoy summer
vacation junkets on official bnsi-
ness" in distant states has received
a hard jolt this year. The only
official who apparently avoided in
his appropriation bill a special pro-
hibition against travelling at state
expense outside of the state was
the bank examiner. All others have
discovered that the appropriation
bills passed by the last legislature
forbade such expenditure.
The latest discovery was made by
State Oil Inspector, Omar D. Gray,
political lieutenant of Gov. Gard
ner.
Gray few days ago inquired of
the state auditors office if he
would not be permitted to attend a
convention of state inspectors in
Minpesota, at state expense. He
was referred to a clause he had not
seen in the oil inspecting appropri-
alton bill forbiddins it. The ban
on these trips was placed in the
bills by the last legislature on sug-
eestion of State Auditor Hackman.
Expense bills for the recent trip
OF the Capitol Decoration Commit
tee to New York and Boston were
held up temporarily by Hackman a
few days ago until a ruling could be
obtained from the attorney gen.
eral. Arthur Kocian. St Louis art
dealer, is secretary of the commits
sion, and Prof. John Pickard, head
of the state university art depart
ment, is chairman. Mrs. W. r.
Painter was the third member. The
expense bills amounting to S638 837,
finally were paid.

soon as possible. Forget politics."

soon as possible. Forget politics"
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub-
lican Governors and Mayors have In
troduced the President to his audi
ence; the Major part Of the local COM
mittees which have met him have
been Republicans. They have all said,
I'VE are nothing but Americans, Mr..
President"
Mr.. Wilson's arguments for the
league, briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or in the future, without It. There
can only be regrouping of nations
and new Balance of Power" which
is certain to lead to war. There can
be no war in the future, with the
league in existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest OF
mankind. and II 1t did, It could be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without the use of arms.
There can be no reduction in the
cost Of living until the league is es-
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production un-
til they know that peace Is definitely
assured and that production Of war
material is no longer necessary.
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league in existence. for rel
stions Of labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
more friendly, and the worker will re-
ceive q fairer share of what he pro-
duces.
These declaration of the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
his hearers thinking and thinking
deeply. And then Mr.. Wilson has
pointed out, the people themselves as
differentiated from senators and politi-
clans, seem to want just what the
president wants, which is America for
leadership.
Quite as unusual as the purpose Of
the GROSS country tour Is the manner
in which IL is being carried out and
the completeness Of the arrange
ments on the nine car train which is
bearing the party.
At the rear IL the private car May
flower, occupied by the President and
Mrs. Wilson. Next is a compartment
car for the secretary Tumulty, Ad-
miral Grayson, Mr.. Wilson's Physi-
clan, four stenographers, the chief
executive clerk and seven secret SER
vice men. Byond are three compart,
ment cars which house twenty-one
correspondents, five movie men, and
a telegraphic and a railroad expert.
Then there is a dinner, a club car, and
two baggage cars. one Of them con.
verted into business office. The
train was exactly on time AZ every
stop between Washington and tho
I6sst.

SO for a ten year average. The
commercial crop is heavy in South.
west Missouri. but reduced last
month somewhat by the continued
drought, while in the central sec.
ton the crop is maturing in good
shape. Picking of Jonathans and

time. clean and of good quality.

Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; ,indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver.
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and
if it does not give YOU almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three
sizes.-Adv.

The WAY to Know.

The way to really know you have
grown old is not to look at the gray
hairs in your head or to feel sore
when some kid gets up in a street car
and offers you seat. These things
may happen to you While you are still
really young from every viewpoint ON
earth except your years.
But, there is one sure way to know
you are old, and that is when you
hear brass band going down the
street and you don't care to follow it.
If ever that indifference hits you, be
sure that the halcyon days nave passed
forever as far as you are concerned.
