Application for writ of habe1s

Gr. who is confined in the Bates co,in-

Calvird, of the circuit court under .
contempt charge, was filed in tha SUI
prerne court Monday. The contempt
charges sew out Of the iai.urc Of
Badger to turn to the custody of the
mother, his wife, their three children,
which the court had awarded to her.
The Badgers were married il Coll

years and q boy aged 3. The 10Y WAS

It seems that the husband and the
nurse so arranged matters that the
husband secured the children, and af-

Meantime the wife had recovered her

has secreted the children somewhere
and they have not yet been found by
rhe sheriff of Bates county or their
mother. The order of contempt was
issued last August. Badger lost OH
an appeal to the Kansas City Court
of Appeals and was denied writ of
prohibition by the Supreme Court
some weeks ago, and now he seeka
release under habeas corpus.

Proclamation.

The following proclamation has
been issued by the Governor of this
state:
I'm view of the fact thatthe armis-
ticc which ended the conflict of arms
in the greatest war in history, in
which our country and our state
played such glorious part, was
signed on November nth, 1919, it
seems fitting that the anniversary Of
this day be appropriately observed"
:" therefore, proclaim November
nth. 1920, Armistice Day, and call
upon the people of the state to put
aside their usual avocation on this
day and do honor to the gallant
sons of Missouri, who by their s"r-
vice, their sacrifice, their heroic
deaths brought undying glory TO our
state and earned the everlasting graf
itude and homage of our people. 1t
is particularly urged that appropriate
ceremonies be held in our public
schools. They honored US; let US
honor them. Let us not forget"
MAYORS PROCLAMATION.
In view of the fact that the Gov
ernor has proclaimed November nth
1920. Armistice Day.

A Record House Majority.

New York, Nov -s.-With the size
Of President-eiect Harding's electoral
vote virtually settled At 4o4 ont of a
possible 53f and the completion OF
the new senate set down as fifty
1ine Republicans and thirty-seven
Democrats, Republican leaders today
awaited delayed returns OH eight con-
tests in six states to fix the exact size
OF the Republican house majority.
Exclusive of the eight undeter-
mined seats in the lower house the
Republicans had 286 members to i37
Democrats and four of other designa-
tions. a plurality of 14o-the greatest
ever held by any party in the house.
The nearest approach to it was in the
fifty-second congress, when the
Democrats had lead Of 148.
Republicans appeared to be as.
surcd of better than an even break on
the eight outstanding seats, which
would give them record party mar
gin in the house. The seats still in
doubt were the fourth Maryland dis
trict, eighth Minnesota, fifth Mis-.
souri,, fifteenth, twenty-first and
New York, First North
dakota and fifth West Virginia.
a further Democratic upset ap.
pcared possible in the fourth Ten
nessee district, where w. r. Ciouse,
Republican, is running neck and neck
with Cordell Hull, earlier reported
elected.

For many years while was perfecting my
formula / studied and investigated the
laratiyes and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act on the bowels,
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, and upset the system of the user;
which was due to tho fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, sosle
simply acting on the upper or small intes-

lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced habit re-
