TO WOMEN

Mrs. Murray begins a new and
valuable service to ruptured women,
a service never before offered. Most
women do not know where to go for
what they need and many do not
realize that no matter how distress

ibundantly equippedRto supply you
safety, comfort, perfect support and
absolute retention of any rupture. so
necessary before you can hope to re-
cover from it
Don't wear a truss all your life
when thousands have reported cures
through using the Rice Method. Why
suffer the burden of rupture if there
is a. chance to be free from truss
wearing forever? Anyway, it will
cost YOU nothing to come in and see

Ohio cannot lose in the prospect

neither can the newspaper word-or

termed his profession in his reply
to brother Harding's no, less froter-
nal congratulations. Whatever the
rest Of the country may feel--the law
yers and peper hangers and college
presidents and other groups from
whom nominees might have been TAX.
en-the men who make newspapers
have every reason to regard the world
as amply respectful to their c.slirs
for glory.
Out in Kansas, where all the new
ideas are sooner or later born. they
have been electing editors for some
time. to the exclusion Of practically
everybody else. Henry Allen. Of
"The Wichita Beacon. goes to the
State House; Victor Murdock. Of
THE Wichita Eagle" goes to Con-
gress ,when the going is good !;
William Morgan. Of THE Hutchin-
son News" tried the Senate for a
while, and Will White. Of "The En-
poria Gazette" is official adviser to
the universe for life.
But heretofore the rule for Presi-
dents has been quite different The
Kansas custom still remains To be
established in the nation. Lawyers
teachers and soldiers have pretty well
monopolized the Presidency. Never
has a newspaper manly training
and career-sat in the White House.
The present nomination begins a new
era. Therefore, newspapers may -
