There probably is no man better
equipped to meet the perpleXing for
eign questions that will come before
the United States government during
the next few years than Leonard
Wood. He is we'll and favorably
known to practically every govern
ment in the world, and in many, many
cases is personally known to tne
highest officials. He has often ana
always successfully represented MS
country on delicate foreign missions
He knows not only Europe, but South
America. He knows the attitude OF
the western hemisphere toward the Ole
world. and the old worlds attitude
toward the new. He has been in pc
sitions of trust where he could as
simulate these things, and he has re
tanned them, for what Leonard Wooo
once has learned he never forgets.
His entire career has been that o.
a statesman rather than that OF a sol
der. His record stands rather as
that of an executor rather than
fighter, rather that of a builder ano
constructor than Of a destroyer, the
natural record of a soldier.

the accusation has been made that
Leonard Wood is a military man.
True, he wears, and has worn for
nearly ~thirty-tive years, the uniform
OF his country. And he has worn II
with honor. He donned it as a con-
tract surgeon in 1885 and has risen
to the top by sheer ability and force Of
character. Far from being a draw
back, this wearing Of the uniform, it
is an advantage. For it has proven,
above all else, the worth OF the mar
who wears it.
But consider for a moment this OBJ
lection to Wood as a military man.
For what is Wood best known, for
his military accomplishments or his
achievements as a civil administrator?
The answer comes like a shot! For
the latter. What Wood did in Cuba
and the Philippines stands out pre-
em~inently in his entire career. 1t was
not the part he played in the driving
out of the Spaniards nor the conquer.
ing of the savage Moros. 1t was the
government that he gave Cuba and
the Philippines. Long after Wood is
gone, long after those who have op.
posed and sighted him have, his rec.
C-d for these accomplishments will
live, a monument to his name. If
Wood could bring from the deepest
hatred and fear in the one case and
from utter savagery in the other, to
glorious independence and semi-inde.
pendence today, what could he not &C.
complish in a nation already the great.
est on the face of the earth?
The charge against Wood that he
is a militarist is ridiculous. Expert,
enced above any other man in the
needs of his country from a military
standpoint, he is the one man who is
asking and insisting upon a smaller
military establishment than any other
presidential aspirant. He advocates
even a smaller standing army than
does the democratic administration.
And yet this cannot be charged to
his pacifist leanings, for he has al
ways proven himself a soldier and a
prophet. Before this country entered
the war, he saw what Woodrow Viii,
son saw within three months after his
second election, that was was inevita.
BILE, and he preached into the deaf ears
of his superiors that doctrine. Then
came the crisis and it was too late.
Again his ability as an organizer, and
constructive genius, and an admins.
trator rose equal to the emergency,
and he astounded the world by turning
out officers sufficient to properly COM
mand an army of three million men,
raised, trained and equipped in SO
short a space as to leave the greatest
military power in the world gasping
for breath, crushed and helpless with.
in the short span OF a year and a half,
But it wasn't the soldier that accom-
plished this feat that a high French
officer declared to be magnificent
It was Wood, the executor! And it is
such a man who is rapidly forging to
the front as the leading republican
candidate for the presidency.

There is a subtle movement afoot
to defeat the nomination by the re-
publicans Of Leonard Wood. This
movement is being engineered by a
group of financiers, who realize that
a man with the positive nature OF
Leonard Wood would not be a good
president from their point OF view.
Wood was the friend Of Theodore
Roosevelt, and If ever a group OF
financiers spent an uncomfortable
seven years it was while Col. Roose
Welt occupied the White House. Wood
by nature and education, would be
bound to follow the R~ooseveltian tao
tics. These men, who are striving to
encompass his defeat, know 1t. Hence
their efforts to beat him.

FOUND HIS OCCUPATION GONE
Weary Wanderer Another Victim of
the Horrors of War, as He Ex-
planned to Housewife.

Women don't feed tramps readily
nowadays, with work so plentiful and
men so badly needed in almost all
occupations, and a tramp has to be
a bit brighter than formerly with his
excuses if he gets by the average
housewife with a hard-luck tale. One

profession" anywhere.

Mrs. Housewife, as she stood frown-
ing down on him, because the war
destroyed the only occupation ] ever
had been taught-the occupation
my father taught me and that al

war came on"
What was your job the war end
ed?" asked Mrs. Housewife, a shade
of interest and even of commisera-
ton entering her voice as she spoke.

DON'T WHINE IN SICK ROOM
Remember to Garry Cheer, Not Sym
pathy to Those Who Are Tenn
porariIy "Shut In"

Every one is called upon now and
then to visit the sick room. Condi-
tons surrounding the bedside vista
lions present a wide variation. There
is one rule that holds good under all
conditions, and that is to carry cheer
and sunshine-not long face, but
smile. If the patients are able talk
to them of what is going on outside.
Help them to forget themselves. A
man who for over twenty years fad
been paralyzed, was visited by a
friend who was profuse in expressing
his sympathy and regret at the sick
mans helplessness. AS he was about
to leave, the afflicted man said, "Come
again, won't you, but when you do
please forget to tell me that you are
sorry for me as every one tells me that.
I've heard it every day for twenty
years. Help me to forget it. Bring
me breath of the outside world"
Flowers are. always a gracious help
in making the sickroom a place of
cheer. A book or magazine also
helps.-Thrift Magazine.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While it
Your Bladder Is Troubling

When you wake up with backache

generally means you have been eating

thority. Meat forms uric acid which
OverwOrks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts /;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It's inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
