Expensive Primaries.

1t also takes money to make presidential
primary campaigns 80. Governor Lowden has
spent more than 100000 to date and has not.
sN his chances are any better than any one Of
several others. Nobody seems to know what
shas been sunk in boosting General Wood. Even
Senator johnson, who is trying to capitalize
Il the so-called extravaganza OF his rivals, has
sdisbursed 10000 which probably represents
more than the amount that really frugal man
might possibly save out Of his salary in
4 single term as president.
y Four hundred thousand dollars seems
large sum. but when it is spread over the
United States it means only few dollars in
precincs-certaiply not enough to corrupt the
electorate. Even more might be used In a
perfectly legitimate way. Special trains, hotel
suites services Of able managers and the elab-
crate organizations, national and state, which
are necessary to drive a campaign vigorously
eat up the dollars at surprising rate.
se Governor Lowden has financed his own
campaign almost exclusively and the fact that
B he has been able to do SO will be raised as
leading point against him. 1t is one, however
which il not entitled to any great weight. It
takes a lot of money and great deal Of work
to put candidates name before all the people
rf the country. The less the individual him
self expends, it may safely be said. the greater
tine obligations he creates and the more strings
there will be attached to him if he wins. The
ex-governor at least has the merit Of discharging
larger proportion Of his debts as he goes.
Anyway, it is a question which is the more
Objectionable for an aspirant for the presi-
dency, possessing the wealth necessary to f.
nance his own boom, or accepting extensive
cash assistance from others. It may be laid
down - a rule that no man gives extensively
on behalf Of any candidate unless he ha.
something more tangible than a patriotic in.

Answer-Help, help! This query
in more or less similar English
comes from some reader some
where at least daily throughout
the year. One can't tell whether
he has tapeworm. His doctor can
tell by finding tapeworm eggs by
microscopic tests Tor a laboratory
pathologist can tell that way. The

harbors a tapeworm. All the tape

and ordinary or excessive weight
I repeat, there are no symptoms
which warrant q diagnosis of worm
infection, save the finding of parts
OF worms or entire worms or their

Why is it that women do not

Answer - The women generally
do not smoke, drink, stay out late
nights, neglect their teeth and ex-
pose themselves to various pre-
ventable diseases so much as the
men.

1S6S.SO-In congress.
1SSO-Elected to the United States
senate.
James Abram Garfield was the
latest, it is fairly safe to say, the
last OF the presidents born and
bred in log cabins. Nothwithstand-
ing that humble start, he was one
of the half dozen scholarly men who
have sat in the presidential chair.
Both the paternal Gariields and
the maternal Ballous, the forebears
of this Ohio president, were New
Englanders and among the best
types of Yankee yeomanry. His
struggling, laborious youth and
young manhood made Garfield also
a representative of that greater
New England which spread itself
over the upper half OF the middle
west.
When the boy was only 2, his pio-
neer father died fighting a forest
fire, leaving -four young sapplings,"
as he called them, to the care of
his wife, who had to carry on the
frontier farm alone and face alone
the problems OF bringing up her
two boys and two girls. With the
help of her older son in the field
and of her older daughter in the
cabin, she raised the food for her
little brood, and grew and wove and
sewed the wool that clothed them.
More than that, she was their
teacher. too, cultivating their young
minds and training up their charae-
tiers. Among all the widows sons
in the presidency. none owed more
to his mother than the-son OF Eliza
Ballou Garfield, and lone began
earlier to pay his debt. nor kept On
paying it more faithfully and
gracefully. -
A big, strong, hardy boy, Jim
Garfield had to work his way in the
world from the age of 10 or Y.
Choppiag wood at 25 cents a cord
and his board; driving mules on the
towpath Of a canal or serving as
deckhand on the boat itself at $40
month and keep; haying, harvest
ing, carpentering and teaching
school, he put himself through
academies and through college.
He also won wife along the
way. In a coeducational academy,
which he attended, he met and
woced Lucretia Rudolph. After his
college graduation at Williams, he
faithfully returned to claim his
Crete" and their marriage is the
first-doubtless it will not be the
last-romance Of "coeds" in the
matrimonial story Of the presi-
dency.
In his preparatory school, which
afterward became Hiram college
Garfield was janitor at first, until
it was discovered that he could
teach the other pupils English lit
erature just as well as he could
tend the fires, draw the water
sweep the floors, wash the windows
and ring the bell. Poverty is a good
grindstone for putting a sharp edge
on the few who happen to have the
tempered steel in them; but il sadly
dulls the many.
Garfield's way was long, rough
road to. an education. But it in.
