Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
If you skip meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as tt
give the food ample time to diges,
and the stomach period of rest be-
fore second meal is taken. Then ii
you eat no more than you crave and
take reasonable amount of outdoor
exercise every day you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, tina,
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it

Cox and Roosevelt Nominated,

After weary round of balloting
and pickering the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, in session at San
Francisco, finally nominated James
M, Cox, three times Governor OF
Ohio, as the Presidential standard
bearer of the party, to be voted on in
November. 1t was long and acrim-
onious fight, the nomination not
being made until the forty-fourth
ballot, the fight having been one OF
the most bitter in the history of ma
tional political politics.
Governor Cox was the cnoice OF
the "wets,'' who finally put their
man over by a solid coalition of the
liquor interests, Tammany, Wall
Street, and big Business"
His Vice-Presidential running
mate is Franklin Roosevelt, Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, who was
nominated by reclamation.
The ticket represents an attempt
of the Democratic party to face both
ways, the vets, Tammany and Wall
Street refusing to accept an Admin
istration man, or anyone except of
their own picking, then permitting
the selection of a Vice-Fresidential
nominee favored by President Will
son, as a sort Of sop to the Admins
tration.
The platform, too, is rather along
the same line There is complete
silence on the wet and dry question;
an endorsement of the League OF
Nations covenant, but an expression
Of willingness to accept reservations
to clarity" the question; support OF
plan to aid American veterans of the
World War, but no promise of a
money bonus; planks touching on
labor, agriculture, woman suffrage,
etc., etc. The whole fabric is writ
ten by master hand and is real
political platform, in that it may
be interpreted to mean much or
little, as you choose.

1t begins to look as if Sulfragists
would owe the right to vote at the
coming national election to the good
Offices of President Wilson, after the
efforts of the entire Republican party
had failed them at the real critical
moment. The President has shown
a forgiving spirit, for after the open
abuse and public picketing of the
White House and the consignment of
his speeches to the flames he might
with propriety have held aloof from
the controversy and permitted the
women to look elsewhere for the aid
they sought. He instead besought
the political leaders of his party and
urged the passage of the Anthony
Amendment through Congress, after
abandoning his position that the
question should be settled by States,
and, although he was largely instru-
mental in finally obtaining favorable
Senatorial action on it, he still was
berated by many of the leaders as a
foe to equal rights.
1t will not be forgotten Demo-
cratic President, Democratic Gov
ernor and Democratic Legislature
if Tennessee takes affirmative action
on the amendment, as it is expected
she will-made suffrage possible foI
women under the federal constltu
ton, through Woodrow Wilson's in
tercessions in behalf of the women
Of America, and that he is the head
Of the party, that it is contended has
everything to lose by granting the
franchise to women and perhaps
nothing to gain in the way of parti-
san advantage.

Encroaching ocean Threatens light

House.
Although the Federal government
in ten years, has spent 100000
building jetties at Henlopen light
house, on Lewes Beach, Delaware, Its
foundation is being washed away.
Timbers of piling, bolted and dashed
together, that once was a 500-foot
breakwater, are warped, twisted and
imbedded deeply in sand. Waves
now break over the wrecked Jetty
Hundreds of pine trees have been
laid against the hill on which the
lighthouse stands to prevent water
undermining the foundation. The
first jetty lasted no time and the
next one built was destroyed last
winter. The lighthouse keeper says
it is only a question of time when
the 160-year-old foundation will slip
from under the lighthouse into the
ocean. Originally it stood 300 feet
from the beach on high ground
Now one can stand on the beach and
look up at a perpendicular shaft.
The old lighthouse has expensive
glass prisms and mechanism. A
plate of silver valued at $4,000 is
used as reflector, which Casts a
brilliant light. In the keepers
house, still telling the time of day.
is a mahogany clock $50 years old,
left there by the British, which bears
the name of Boston manufacturer
There is a report that the lighthouse
will be abandoned and a modern
steel structure erected further down
the coast.
