ing Johnson slogans and pictures.
From the center gallery an enor-
nous picture of Johnson was I'M
furled 1t was obvious, however. be-
fore the demonstration had been on
five minutes that the enthusiasm OF
THE loyal California delegation could
mot atone for the deadly effects.
The volume of cheering did not COM
pare with the noise that greeted the
names of Lowden and Wood. and
the great majority of the delegates
stood in the aisles and conversed or
mounted their chairs to see what was
going on.
The California delegation persevered
in an effort to recruit delegates from
other states to their parade with little
success.
The Californians chanted Hiram.
Hiram; we want Hiram and urged
other vocalists to join IL the refrain,
but with i'll success.
The surprise of the demonstration
was the comparative apathy OF the
gallaries. Johnson has had strong
newspaper support in Chicago, and 1t
was expected that, regardless of the
attitude of the delegates, the galleries
would accord him a spectacular greet
ing. 1t speedily became evident, now
ever, that the weather and the humid
,ity, or some other phenomena more
closely related to politics was having
bearish effect and the galleries were
decidedly slow In taking up the work
of the demonstrators.
At one point in the cheering
woman cald in a black lace gown and
seated directly behind the press Sec
ton, seized large American flag that
draped the balcony and hanging far
over the rail waved it frantically in
] the faces of those below and shouted
for Johnson. She met with consider
able encouragement and in a few mo-
ments had several volunteer sup
porters.
Coolidge Is Named.
| The roll call was resumed and Con-
lnecticut yielded to Massachusetts.
Speaker Gillett came to the platform
Ito place in nomination the name of
Gov. Calvin Coolidge, of Massachu-
sets
Gillett was well received by the
delegates, and they were ready to
help him along at every opportunity
with polite applause. He gave the
convention a straight talking to-
about Coolidge, explaining why he
shotfld get the nomination. emphasiz-
ing the fact that he came suddenly to
the fore in one year through his ad-
ministration as governor of Massachu-
sets.
First Dark Horse Appears.
| The roll of states was resumed.
Marion Butler of North CarotNa
placed in nomination Judge J. T.
Pritchard, Of North Carolina.
This was the first dark horse
nominating speech. 1t was delivered
by a tall man with a bristly bead
but nobody paid much attention tc
what he said and there was much
moving about on the floor, delegates
focking toward the exits for lunch
others engaged in animated CONVEX
sation. The confusion increased 81
that the speaker had hard time
making himself heard. The galleries
seized the occasion for a social hrul
and soon the rumble of conversation
and scraping of chairs left TN
speaker on an island In sea o
sound
Butler urged the nomination O.
Pritchard as a step that would pu
an end to any sectionalism that ma,
remain as result of the civil war.

BEWAREOF
LAXATIVES
If You Are Constipated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following

The only way to overcome consti-
patton and the resultant ills is to get
your liver in good working order. By
taking just laxatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquain-
tance was a sufferer from constipa-
tion for years. He had taken salts,
oil, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had a natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never we'll and yet could,
if asked, point to no special illness.
He was a victim of general ills-all
caused from one trouble-if he had
but known it. 1t took only one bot
tie of PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man a new lease on life
and after six bottles he is now as
fat, rosy and health as he was when
he was boy. The secret of his Won
derful recovery is in the action of
this scientific preparation on the liv-
er and blood. He never takes lax
ative now and the bowels are regu-
lar. The digestion is good The lin
ing of the stomach and bowels are
now able to absorb nourishment from
the food which had been passing out
of the body unassimilated
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
NATURE, but instead sap the life
from the walls of the stomach and
bowels.
PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE is
now carried by Nathan Murray,
druggist, and all good drug stores.

"The results of her jumping
around are quite dignifed, my dear.
You've seen Mrs. Best as the gracious
mother of the rich film hero many a
time. She makes quite charming
dowager in English scenes, but she
is most in demand as the devoted
material relative of ex-convits!"
| suppose all this accounts for
AIMS not knowing how to keep her

knowledge of the best rouge to buy
and how to apply it so that Jim and
Bob and Daddy can't detect it.
But Chrys and l can! We can see
through all of her silly shams. The
affections are not important, but the
fact that Chrys and | see them-that
is important-one of the wedges
which will rend the happy tribe of
Lorimer some day.
Ann was so obsessed with her sue
cess with the boys and daddy she
didn't perceive how completely she
had failed with US women. That
was another important mistake, but
she couldn't understand it, because
in her scheme of life every woman
is for herself as against all other
women. Only men count with girls
like Ann.
The theory may bring happiness to
young women, but can't help won
dering what's to become of all the
girls like Ann when they grow old,
when men count their wrinkles if
they see them at all.

Chrys and Can See Through All of
Ann's Silly Sham's

AIMS Silly Sham's
GONE things stick in my mind, not
because l want them there, but
because they have made deeper i'm
preston on my gray matter than bet
ters things have done. l would like to
see and remember nothing but the
beauty of the world, but l find that
ugliness which / particularly do not
want to remember often makes a
deeper impression than some delicate
piece of art or a bit of poetry which
| would like not to forget.
| do not like to see the flaws in
AIMS character, nevertheless they are
too conspicuous to overlook.
Her laziness is a naive expression
of her real self. She doesn't even
consider it a fault! She has never
lived in we'll ordered house, l sup
pose.
But she "has gone to college She
is fond of repeating that. She grad
uated from a business school and held
some kind of an office position. 1t
is plain that she has a mind which
can be trained. And it seems pity
that her mother hasn't trained her to
keep her stockings off from the floor,
and her corset inside instead of out
side her bureau.
To know all is to forgive all, they
say. 1t was some time before we
knew much about Ann. Jim told
Bob, and Bob told me, and l told
Chrys, a few things about her bring
ing up which explained Ann, but even
so, | couldn't forgive her slovenly
habits.
Her mother never had had time to
train her. Her mother had been an
actress and never had had home
to keep.
