by leading Democrats and used TO
spread propaganda under cover, for

legal about such proceeding. but it

that look ugly when exposed.

Senator Kenyon may be over enthusi-
astic In his view Of the political situa-
tion in Missouri and his estimate Of
10000 majority for Harding in that
state may be high. But Missouri is Il
sure enough doubtful state. Roosevelt
carried it in 1904 by approximately
2a0OO majority and Taft had lead
there Of something like LOCO in 1905.
OF course it went for Wilson in 1912
when the Republican party was split
wide open and the president also car
ried it in 1916 because he kept us OUT
Of war. This year, with the general
disgust Of the administration all over
the country, it would not be surprising
If Missouri again takes its place in
the Republican column.

IRELAND AND THE LEAGUE,

Some Democratic politicians who
want to make Il hit with Irish voters
have insisted chat had the United
States Joined the league of nations this
government would now be in position
TO recognize the Irish republic OF
course there is nothing to such talk. 1t
! is merely camOutlagc. President Will
son himself says the league does not
affect what this country can do in such
matters. In a letter to +. NJ SwartZ
of Los Angeles of recent date Mr.. Will
son answers the following question
Ipropounded by Mr.. SwartZ:
"Q.-Under the covenant can this ma
ton independently recognize a govern
ment whose peoples seek TO achieve or
have achieved their independence from
member of the league"
Mr. Wilson's answer:
The independent action of the gov
eminent of the United States in mat
ter of this kind is in no way limited or
affected by the covenant of the league
of patiOnS''
Here is the assertion that the league
covenant would not affect what this
country could do under the circum-
stances. Hence the Washington gov
could recognize the Irish re-
public today if it felt so disposed.
Another question asked by Mr..
Swartz is as follows:

of twenty-five other persons whose
sudden disappearance never was ac-

"The rheumatism from which / had
suffered for years even before I had
stomach trouble, panied me worse
than ever and until recently I was
not only unable to walk without the
use of a cane, but / was so weak at
times I could hardly get out of bed.
I tried many medicines, but nothing
helped me and l almost despaired Of
ever getting any better.
Then Tanlac came along and in
just few days after I began taking
this grand medicine, my appetite
began to improve and in only short
time l was able to enjoy my meals
and everything seemed to agree with
me perfectly.
"My rheumatism is SO much better
and I have SO much more strength l
am now able to walk all about the
house and up and down the stairs
without my cane. Friends who have
become so accustomed to seeing me
walk with my cane are astonished
when they see me now walking around
without it.
II will always praise Tanlac for
what it has done for me"

To Ward Off Summer
Compilation lis

To keep the face smooth, white and
beautiful all summer, there's nothing
quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax Discolored or freckled skin, so
common at this season, is gently,
gradually absorbed by the wax and
replaced by the newer, fresher skin
beneath. The face exhibits no trace
of the wax, which is applied at bed
time and washed off mornings. Greasy
creams, powders and rouges, on the
other hand, are apt to appear more
conspicuous than usual these days of
excessive perspiration. Just get an
ounce of mercolized wax at any drug
store and use it like cold cream.
This will help any skin at once and
in a week or so the complexion VIII
look remarkably clear, young and
healthy.
