'oLITIcS PLAYS A PART IN THE
NEW APPOINTMENTS.

However much administration folks
may deny 1t, politics played a large
part in the selection Of Messrs. Mere
dith and Houston, but insofar as it may
be considered good politics. the DEMO-
cratic wiseacres hope good appoint
ments made on that basis can be tor
given.
Plainly the situation that confronted
the President was: Mr. Houston while
exceedingly capable and spoken Of by
him once as the best equipped man in
the Cabinet to become President Of the
United States has not been particU-
larly impressive with the farmers. He
has had none of the personal contact
or magnetism Of ''Tama" Jim Wilson,
Secretary Of Agriculture for nearly
fourteen years under Republican ad-
ministrations.
And far from being fond OF the
Agricultural post, Mr. Houston has
really had a hankering after mat IS
financial. Indeed, he is a versa he

When Mr.. Bryan resigned, the Presi-
dent considered appointing him Sec

under consideration for Secretary of
Interior in the event that Mr.. Lane
was selected for some other post in
the Cabinet.
But Secretary Houston isn't a vote
getter. His abilities are much more
useful to the Administration in the
Treasury than the Agricultural De-
partment, for he has sound views on
economies and can steer an even keel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 Copy
right, 1920).-Those Democrats who
have been hoping ever since the
Euro can war ended that President
Wilson would reorganize his Cabi-
net are deriving considerable salts
faction out of the selection of Ed
ward T. Meredith of Iowa, Editor of

tary of Agriculture and Secretary
Houston, present head of the De-
partment of Agriculture, to be Sec
retary Of the Treasury in place of
Carter Glass, who soon takes his
seat as junior Senator from Vir-
ginia.
Whether a complete reorganization
in the Cabinet is coming depends
largely upon public sentiment-that
is, the sentiment of the Democrats
who recognize now, that while Mr.
Wilson may have good reason for de-
clining to change Cabinet officers in
the midst of the war. he ought to see
the political wisdom at least of mend

My digestion was so bad that l
early lost my appetite, and what I
did eat bloated me UP with gas and
caused me to suffer agonieS from
pains in my stomach. Dizzy, maui
seating spells would come over me
suddenly and I would have to lie,
down wherever 1 happened to be. I
was so weak and short-winded that
i could not walk a full block with

so nervous that for past two years /
didn't know what it was to get a

fallen off in weight, and was in
such a miserable condition that 1

About a month ago my husband
came home with bottle of Tanlac

much about it that he wanted me to
try it. / began to improve right
away and now, although l have
taken only three bottles, feel that

HOW DIPHTHERIA Is CON-
TRACTED

One often hears the expression,
my child caught a severe cold
which developed into diphtheria,"
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic-
ularly susceptible to the wandering
diphtheria germ. If your child has
a cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school
and keep him off the street until
fully recovered, as there is a hun
dred times more danger of his talk
ing diphtheria when he has a cold.
When Chamberlain Cough Remedy
is given it quickly cures the cold
and lessons the danger of diphtheria
or any other germ disease being
contracted.

Paris Police Arrest Suspects With
Counterfeit Polish Blank
Forms ana Stamps.

Paris.-Scores of counterfeit Polish
passports have been issued in the last
few weeks to persons going to the
United States, according to the Paris
police, who say they were sold for from
800 to 1000 francs to persons to whom
the authorized Polish consulate refused
to give vises.
A travelling bag full of blank forms
and rubber stamps one of which was
the counterfeit American form, was
taken by the police who watched a
bogus consulate until a man known as
the former Russian Lieutenant Szi-
mansky went there for his outfit. This
brought about the arrest of his two

GET SIGNS FROM sARNYARD
Many English Farmers Consider Peul-
try as Prophets - SuPerstiticns
Concerning othsr Birds.

Farmers who get a growing hen
among the brood in the yard often
look upon It as an evil omen, says
writer In London Tit-Bits.
A superstitious farmer considers his
poultry as prophets; thus, If his own
death is near, he will tell you that they
will 90 to bed at noon instead or st
their usual roostlng time.
Numerous birds are mixed up with
signs OF death. Let pigeon enter
house or robin come through the
door, and some people expect calamity.
Owls, again, are ominous birds to the
superstitious. especially If they hoot
from the housetop.
For a single magpie to cross the
path of the superstitious is enough to
send them into cold perspiration, and
they hasten to lay two straws across
each other TO avert the evil influence
When swallows and martins build
about a farmyard the superstitious
farmer is troubled If they do not ap-
pear regularly year by year, for should
they desert their old nests he expects
misfortune.
The call of the cuckoo has always
been mixed up with good and bad luck.
Hear it while walking, and provided
it is the first time you have heard 1t
that year, it is said TO indicate a
happy new year for you.
When the farmers wife sets eggs
she win sometimes place an odd num-
Der in the nest if she wants her chicks
to prosper. The superstitious farm
wife will not bring eggs into the house
after sunset. !.
Peacocks' feathers in house are
said to mean misfortune, but for an
eagle TO hover over a person or house
is thought to indicate an approaching
success.

scription
"Poets have eagerly welcomed it as
a new image, and there have not been
wanting preachers who have hailed it
as a new symbol It has been the
theme Of a great deal of amusing
speculation, of which it is difficult to
distinguish jest from earnest. For in

parties, and therefore in perfect
