Christensen Off Ballot.

Minnesota voters will not have an
opportunity to cast ballots for Farley
?. Christensen, farmer-labor party
candidate for president. Failure to
file the Christensen electors was
charged today BY certain supporters
to "carelessness and Indifference" on
the part of the committee officials.
Under the law( Saturday was the
last day for filing nominations, but
the committee made no attempt to file
until yesterday. Julius A. Schmahl,
secretary of state, refused to accept
the filing and it was reported today
that mandamus proceedings may be
brought in an effort to force him to
receive the names.
The real reason for the failure to
file Christensen name, it was said
today, lies in the opposition of the
Nonpartisan league organization to
the third party movement. The lea
que heads have feared that fight for
Christensen would handicap them in
their state campaign.
A list of nine presidential electors
was ready and the money for filing
was on hand.-Journal Oct. 5.

 he is as good fighter is the ques- 'tion. The French people are good

"Just think, Hack" said the champion, i've will not have to take another long, tire Some train ride"
 Hs Coffroth talked over the tcle- sphone with the Los Angeles Express Atoday. "Altho cannot give out any information regarding the date Euntil l get word from Descamps. I Believe July 1 is the ideal one," Said Coffroth.

Nearly everything I would eat soured and formed gas and my stomach felt like there was a knot in it. l would have dull, heavy headaches and was so nervous at times that the least little thing would upset me and I could hardly rest at night. Gas on my stomach caused my heart to palpitate till l could hardly get my breath, and when I got up in the morning l felt so tired and worn out that could hard ly keep going. In fact, l felt like I would just have to lay off from my work completely. |
 "While in this condition l began taking Tanlac and I began to feel some relief from the start. l have a fine appetite now and nothing 1 eat hurts me. The gas on my stomach is about gone, my nerves are in good shape. sleep like log and get up feeling fine and ready for my work.

Want Even Break.

N Paris, Jan, 7.-Georges Carpenter Aand Jack Dempsey will probably
 Ssmeet in America for the champion Nship of the world as a result of the Blacceptance last night by Descamps, Nmanager for Carpenter of an offer &of $4O0000 purse for the bout by @James Coffroth. Dempsey has al Sready accepted Coffroths terms and Sall that remains to ensure the meet $ing of the two pugilists is the set Stlement of the number of rounds the %men will fight and the division of sthe purse.
 \ Coffroth's offer was for a bout going 45 rounds but objection to a Flight of this length is expressed in Rthe Carpenter camp. Carpenter swould rather have the fight limit ed to IS rounds or even 10. Des- camps declared last night that if the issue is not settled in less than |! rounds, neither Dempsey nor Car pentier is worthy to be champion of the world"
 It was indicated Descamps would ask for an even break of the purse holding Carpenter was as great a drawing card as Dempsey.

pretty poor second fiddle to our ply
steal comfort.
Nor does Just getting married,
even to the persons you love make
up to you entirely for doing without
the kind of things you have been
accustomed to all your life, and
when a man and woman are forced
to make a perpetual sacrifice OF
every taste apd habit for each other,
they soon begin to wonder II the
game is worth the candle.
Think Of all the peevish, fretful
disconnected wives you know who
are always complaining because
they are shabby and can't do any OF
the things they used to do! Do you
think that their husbands are hav-.
ing any particular picnic? Think OF
all the cynical, bitter men you know
who have fallen out Of love with
the pretty, dainty girls they mar
ried, Just because the girls have
been forced into becoming .unattrac-
tive Ndrudges, and who are always
warning other men against matri-
mony! Pleasant for their wives. isn't
IL, to be made to realize that their
husbands regard them as burdens?
"The truth Is that family is a
luxury that comes high, and whether
you enjoy it or not, or even whether
you've got a right to indulge your
self in one depends altogether on
whether you can afford it. To get
married when you haven't the price
of a bed, or a chair, or cooking
stove is just as, silly and wicked a
thing to, do as it is to set up an
automobile where you pay two dol
lars down on II, and are paying the
balance as long as you live and
