Bu' cant Sleep .

WHEN anyone fails to get
w good sound sleep eUsry
night something ought to be
done about it. It will not do
much good to call in the doc

bed is not at fault.
Sleeplessness is often caused
by the slight swaying or creak-
ing of a poorly constructed bed
"a wooden bed, or ordinary
metal bed, or a spring that lets
you down into a hollow.
Many an insomnia has
found sound, dreamleSs sleep

Any slight disorder or inn purity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform it's func- tions. It is quite true that prac- tically every one is equally eX- posed to the attacks of disease. You are just as liable to be at- tackled as the man or woman sitting next to you on the street car. It all depends upon the condition of your blood. If it is thin and impoverished, and has been allowed to reach a low state by the accumulation of impurities, you have not suf- ficient vitality to resist these germ attacks, and they find a fertile field in your system to spread disease.

and for more than fifty years has been used as s. s. S., which is recognized as the best known blood medicine on the market.
 This fine old remedy is still made as of old from roots and herbs of proven medicinal value. In fact, physicians everywhere recognize the won derful efficacy of these roots, and they are prescribed in some form or other almost daily.
 And now after being in con- stant use for more than half a century, s. s. s. is more popular than ever. It is sold by prac- tically every drug store in the land, and every druggist is well acquainted with it's sterling merit, for they have seen it's results.
 s. s. s. is a very valuable agent in the treatment of Rheu- matism, Eczema, Tetter, boils, pimples, skin eruptions and other disorders that come from blood impurities.
 It is also without an equal as general tonic and system builder.

 The Wood candidacy will show first. It is at least organized. By choosing Hitchcock as convention manager, for that is what Woods appointment of the committee, made up of Hitchcock, Moses, Gould, Miller and Procter means. General Wood has at least created an efficient machine for his candidacy.
 The Hitchcock committee will make a tremendous drive to show Wood so strong by the third ballot that he cannot aft- erward be stopped. Johnson will prob ably make his dramatic move to stop Wood, and with him Lowden, some time before Wood gains that much strength. \ The arriving delegates have destroyed two Washington illusions-that of the danger of Johnson, and that of the ad- vantage of the pussyfoot Indiana plank. They are destroying another, the notion that all the republican parity has to do is to register opposition to President Will son. The delegates take a broader view of the party's duties than the Washing ton group. They are not content to en- ter the fight as a pure opposition party. They demand something more constrrc- tive than mere hatred of Wilson.
 The senators have fought Wilson so long and so bitterly that they can see nothing else. The delegates regard the issue more broadly For this reason the keynote speech of Senator Lodge was coolly received by the convention. It was the key of rather minor note.

was the way Senator Wadsworth's coat fitted him in the back Some may think that the climax of today Wednesdays session, came when Will Hays official cheer leader, while just in the act of stating there was all irresistible popular demand that he should lead the assem- blaze in song, was forcibly slenced by husky Hank Lodge, the rough diamond of Nahant Mass. It took the organized machinery of the republican party to put the comether on one of these pests, and this particular member of the tribe certainly was old MT. John R. Pests favorite son, direct from the county pest house of grand old Pestsylvania-still it was done and satisfactorily done, too, in the presence of thirteen thousand pleased and enthusiastic spectators. Hank may never have realized it himself, but the kid has the making of first class bouncer in him.
 THE REAL PEAK OF PLEASURE
 As 1 say, this act in behalf of the peace and comfort of the convention may have seemed to some the high poin, of short and perspiry session, but to my way of thinking the real peak of pleasure occurred when Chauncey De- pew-as the boys at Truck up in Peek skill call him--took the platform and spoke a piece. Never mind what the piece was all about; it's purport doesn't signify The main point was that an American past his eighty-sixth birthday stepped out to prove that a man can get old without swapping all his emo tions for symptoms that he get irto his second wind without passing through his second childhood on the way that he can acquire the dignity of years without taking on the senility which so often marks Touchstone's seventh age

MOST MODEST MANAGER

The most modest manager is the more or less anonymous person who is pro- noting the aspirations of Senator Miles Poindexter for first place on the ticket, He goes so far as to intimate right out for publication that his man will get thirty votes on the first ballot.
 I am constrained to believe that the manager of the Poindexter boom must be related to a gentleman I know in my home town, down in Kentucky. Back n the old days, when seven-up was the reigning indoor pastime of interior North America, he used to spend the long win ter evening down at the fire station, claiming low.

 MISSED MAIN RING \
 The famous elephantiasis quadrille of the c. o. P. got no chance to appear in the middle ring. The trainers being still in conference trying to frame platform which will keep Hi Johnson on the res ervation without driving B. Penrosee off of it, the result was that the ponderous pachderm performers having tramped impressvely into the convention tramped merely was noise and confusion, vain clamorings and idle day dreamings by the directors of the various booms and boomlets. These booms born, most ot them to endure for but a week and then to die and on next Sunday like Solomon Grundy to be inferred in the national cemetery of deceased ambitions, repay study on the part of a student of the political idosincracies of our times
 The most optimistic among the lesser or self-chosen candidates is the gentle man who is running for Vice President on the strength of the fact that he lives down in Virginia, that he grows Albe- marie Pippins for a living, and that he which is one of our very oldest fam flies, running back, as it does, all the way from Adams pepsin chewing gum to the Garden of Eden, where, as will be recalled, the first of the name also went into the apple business and ding nigh ruined hsse'f a-doin it.

He is the Connie Mack of politics Connie buys his new ball players with trading stamps, and pays them of in rain checks, so that even though they shouldn't be in the next days lineup they still can get into the park and see the game for nothing. But even Connie wouldn't dare to try to stampede re- publican national convention with bar rel of apples All the same there yet is to be said for this mode of MT.
