WASHINGTON, July 22.-Roo-
ert Marion La Follette's chief coun-
selor and assistant during his cam
paign for the presidency will not be
bie campaign manager" nor any
one Of the half dozen or more pro
pregsiye" leaders who are active IN
his behalf.
When he wants real political Wis
dom and advice, La Toilette Will
oct it right at nome. Not by in
trogpection. Not by seeking the
more youthful viewpoint of Bob
La Toilette Jr. But from the tried
and true source that has proven
it's merit through his campaigns for
the past 30 years-Mrs. Belle Case
La Toilette, his wife.
Probably no other man in public
life today has had as direct md
efficient aid from his life partner,
in solving his political problems, as
La Toilette has had from his help
meet.
From the time of his first cara,
paign for Congress, back in 1881
through his terms as governor Of
Wisconsin, where he put into eff
feet his theories Of democratic
Republicanism, and throughout
his 20 years in the Senate, fight
ing a minority fight with in his
own party, Mrs. La Toilette has
had a large part in the research
and study necessary for the prep
aration of his speeches and atti-
cles.
And her moral support, bull
warking his own ideals and resolu-
ried it one day too long. It is now
responding meekly in Two we'll
known Washington banks, and
Mrs. Fisk has lost a little of her
faith in original methods for talk
ing care of a fortune, which no
one suspected she possessed.
Believing that the safest place
for such a large sum was on her
person, and being Of the old
school, which still clings to stays,
she pinned her roll to this sub
stantial object, and at night in
stead of a modern tima-combina-
ton closing on her riches, she
wrapped the bill-bedecked gar
ment in an old newspaper, by way
of further precaution, and threw
it in the corner Of her room,
where no burglar would expect to
| find such treasure. One morn
ing, making up a bundle for the
trash man, she scoOped up the
pile containing corset, money and
all, and into the trash can went
sixteen $1,000 bills, eight $500
bills, two tens and a five-S20.-

confined to one spot or it may move
from place to place. Sometimes II Is

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
USE ALLENRHU.

Mr.. James H. Allen, of Rochester, N.
r. suffered for years with rhumatism
Many times this terrible disease left
him helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study. that no one can be free
from rhumatism until the accumulated
Impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits. were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind, he consulted
physicians. made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery. which
he tailed Allenrhu, to others who took
It, with what might be called mar
yglous success. After years of urging
Se' decided to let sufferers everywhere
%know about his discovery through the
newspapers. He has therefore instructed
druggists everywhere to dispense Allen
rhu with the understanding that If the
first pint bottle does not show the way
TO complete recovery he will gladly re-
turn your money without comment

GRUBB INDORSED
 BY MOBILE C. o. ?.
Urged For Higher Federal
 Judgeship

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 10.-(Special Leased Wire. )-The Mobile county re- publican executive committee at meet ing held last night adopted resolu- tion indorsing Judge William I. Grubb of north Alabama for appointment for the vacancy now existing on the bench of the United States circuit court of appeals for the fifth district. The reso- lution indorsing Judge Grubb was unan- imous, according to announcement made today.
 The action of the local committee is causing considerable comment in local political circles today, due to the fact that William H. Armbrecht, Mobile re- publican, is an applicant for the posi- tion. Judge Grubb is classed as a dem- ocrat, although it is said that he is really an independent and his indorse- ment by the republican committee as against that of Armbrecht is consid- cred unusual.

Empty Gasoline Can Is Found After Flame Is
 Distinguished
Admission Bureau)

sANNISTON, Ala, Dec. 11.-An at tempt was made to burn the Mechanics vile school house last night, it became known here today. Residents in that .ection which is located just outside the western limits of the city stated that a fire was discovered in the building by a foundry foreman who was attracted by the glare in the night. Several min utes were required to extinguish the flames and considerable damage was done.
 No report of the alleged arson was made to city police or county officials. However, residents of that section have expressed their belief that the fire was started by the use of gasoline and if the matter is ferreted out fire bug will be found responsible for the act.
 A large empty gasoline can was said to have been found beneath the school building and 1t could be plainly seen where gasoline had been carefully poured over various parts of the structure, it is said.
