EXECUTIVE CON-
MITTEE MEETING
Managers Appointed for the
Special Congressional
Primary

The County Democratic Executive
Committee met in the Court House at
noon Saturday with a sufficient num-
Der Of members present to arrange
for the primary election ordered by
the State Committee to nominate a
candidate for Congress from the Sew
enth District. Managers were ap-
pointed to serve at each Of the clubs
at the primary election on August
.26th and on September 9Th, III the
event that second primary shall be
necessary.
A resolution was adopted request
ing County Chairman John H. Clifton
to take up with the State Chairman
the matter OF affording oppo1 unity OF
enrolment to the young men who
have become of age since the last pri-
mary and also to the men who were
in the army and were not enrolled last
year. It was the sense of the meeting
that these men should be permitted
to enroll and thus be given the right
to vote in this primary
The status of club members who
have removed from one club district
to another since the last primary was
also discussed, and it was the sense
cf the committee that these men
should be permitted to transfer from
the club in which they were enrolled
for the 1918 primary to the club Of
the district in which they now reside,
and that they be permitted to vote at
the club of the district in which they
have established residence since the
last primary.
A resolution was adopted urging all
Democrats to vote in the primary and
that every one who votes in the pri-
mary make it his business to cast his
ballot in the general election. This is
most important for the preservation
Of the integrity Of the party, as there
is threat Of an independent candi-
date at this election. All Democrats
who have not obtained registration
certificates since July 1st, 1918, are
reminded that certificates issued prior
to that date are void and that they
will not be permitted to vote in the
general election unless they have GER

On motion of Mr.. H. L. Scarborough
a resolution was adopted that: The
President and Secretary of each club
be urged to appoint committee of
three or more whose duty it shall be
to see that every Democrat within
their club district registers on the first
Monday in September. which is the
last opportunity for registration be-
fore the general election.
The act of the last session Of the
legisla ture applying the Australian
ballot system to all clubs having an
enrolled membership Of fifty or more
members was brought to the atten-
ton Of committeeman present. AT the
last primary the system was aprlic-
able to incorporated towns only. but
hereafter it will be enforced in all
clubs having fifty or more members

THE tNEXT WAR"

s.As conditions now exist" says Cen
eral Bernhardi. in an article written
for an American newspaper, There
is danger that in one way or another
we will withdraw from our obliga-
tons. Then a new war will be a ne
cessity''
He explains that the allies, through
the peace treaty. have sought to make
it impossible for Germany to wage
war in the future, and the treaty
will achieve exactly the contrary
He finds that the clause obligatine
Germany to surrender the men respon-
sable for the war and its crimes is alb
surd, and blandIy announces that 'he
who would pronounce it good to give
mp the Kaiser and the leaders would
dig his own grave
The only reproach the Kaiser de-
serves. he says, is for having begun
the war too late
He pronounces it IAN utter mistake
to believe that progress Of humanity
Is possible in eternal peace
He represents his country as mere
Iy playing "possum." Possibly the
German nation will for . while con-
tent itself with the position to which
the late war relegated it, but it is a
grave error to believe that will be
possible in the long rum
He is certain that 'the late war
conceals in itself a new war" that the
conditions imposed on Germany will

PUBLIC MARKET PRICES.

Many cities which maintain public
markets to help cheaper food are
hnding that those markets are not
serving their purpose, because the
dealers persist in charging as much
as retail grocers and meat stores out
side.
This is, of course, unjust and even
absurd. In some cases the market
stalls are provided rent free. Rents.
@in aany event, are always placed far
BOWER than ordinary store rent, for
che special purpose Of enabling the
dealers to sell cheaply. The market
dealers, moreover, have no delivery
system to maintain, and no telephone
ana other services to pay for.
There is an implied understanding
HAT the public will receive, in lower
p<5ces, the benefit Of the market ac-
commodation furnished the dealers by
tfs city, with an additional saving
earned by gong to the market and
carrying away their purchases.
IF things are not sold cheaper at
public markets, why pay the taxes to
maintain those markets, and why go
70 the; extra trouble of patronizing
tlsrn?
The same principle applies, in some
degree, to the sale Of eggs, fruit, vege-
tables and other country produce at
Sarmh houses method that has be-.
come common since the automobile
came into general use. 1t is found
generally that the farmers charge
about as much for their goods as
the city dealers. despite the fact that
they are paying no store rent and
other commercial expenses Since the
purchaser himself pays all the ex-
pense, why should he not get the pro-
dnce at the same, price the farmer or
SaFdener or poultry raiser would
charge the rniddlemen buying from
biln, plus whatever slight amount is
justified by selling in smaller quaint

SENT FOR MOTHER
Mrs. Hatfield Was On Verge Of
Nervous Prostitution.
Is Restored To Health By TAX
ing Tanlac.

II have improved so much IN
health since I took Tanlac. my friends
and neighbors hardly know me now
and 1 can hardly believe it myself
when look in my mirror, said MIS-
Harry Hatfield, of ass Day street,
Galesburg. III, recently.
II had been suffering for about
three years" continued Mrs. Hatfield,
and was so badly run down in health
and so weak and nervous my mother
had to come frem Missouri to stay
with me because, at the time, I was
right on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton. I couldn't stand a bit of noise and
was so awfully nervous sometimes
was nearly frantic. l was in such bad
condition 1 could hardly eat or sleep.
wasn't able to do my homework and
Just did nothing but suffer day in
and day out. No matter how little
ate, gas formed in my stomach and 1
suffered with terrible cramping pains
and had such awful headaches some
times 1 thought my head would split.
1 was troubled a lot with my kidneys,
too, and my back ached so terribly at
times I could hardly stand it. I final
ly got to where 1 never knew what
a well day meant and was gradually
getting worse and. although I took all
kinds of medicine for my trouble.
nothing gave me a particle of relief
and 1 got very blue and respondent.
zone day my next door neighbor
dropped in to see me and begged me
to take Tanlac, because she said she
had found it to be a wonderful med
icine and, as her Improvement was
noticeable, I felt encouraged and when
my husband came home 1 told him
about it and he got me a bottle that
very evening. Tanlac seemed to help
me almost from the first, so I kept
on with the treatment and the re-
suits / got were certainly remarka BILE
My nerves began to calm down and 1
started to sleeping better and found
my appetite was picking up and what
l ate agreed with me. 1t wasn't long
before that awful pain in my back
disappeared and now I can say I am
completely relieved of all my trouble
and am perfectly well and strong
again. 1 now eat three big meals ev-
cry day and never have any uncom-
fortables feeling in my stomach after
wards and can sleep fine every night
and my nerves are so strong Won
couldn't tell 1 had ever been nervous
at all. I feel bright and happy all the
time now; in fact, 1 seem like a Diff
ferent person altogether, and am SO
thankful for the way Tanlac has
helped me 1 can't keep from taking
about 1t and my husband tells me
people will get tired listening to Inc
praise Tanlac, but just don't care
because a medicine that will do so
much for a person ought to be talked
about
