has come when stern measures
must be adopted to bring about
victory at the election.
Whether or not it viii be pos
sible to bring about harmony in
their own ranks as a result Of the
attitude taken by many state lea
ders. is highly important ouos-
ton. There is a certain theory
that a disagreement may reach
that regrettable stage wherein
the contest resolves itself into a
struggle for an individual rather
than party triumph. BY that is
meant the development of a
fight between the legislative and
executive branches of the gov
eminent. It this sentiment actu-
ally assumes definite proportions,
it will undoubtedly play havoc
with the national ticket as men,
bers of Congress would likely go
back home to protect their own
interests first and make the
Presidential contest a secondary
matter in the political name
uvers. In the heat Of campaign.
this dubious situation may be
quickly altered.
The feeling Of pessimism which
was apparent in the Republican
ranks may be attributed, it is
said, to the above conditions. The
influence Of LaFollette was felt
at the convention when Wiscon-
sin filed minority report against
the platform adopted by the con-
vention. The possibility Of the
Wisconsin Senator heading a
third party ticket as a progress
sive Republican does not contri-
butte to the gaiety Of the politi-
cal spectacle.
After all, the fundamentals of
partisan politics seldom if ever,
vary. DeTocqueville. one Of the
foremost authorities on political
science, in his analysis Of political
conditions in America. written in
the early part of the nineteenth
century said: Political parties in
the United States are led to rally
round an individual in order to
acquire a more tangible shape in
the eyes of the crowd. and the
name of the candidate for the
Presidency is put forward as the
symbol and personification Of
their theories. For these reasons
parties are strongly interested in
gaining the election, not so much
with a view to the triumph of
their principles under the aus
pices Of the President-elect, as to
show, by the majority which re-
turned him, the strength Of the
supporters of those principles.

Dig Through SnoU to
Visit Veteran Patients

Heavy snowstorms completely iso-
lated the Sunnyrest sanitarium for dis
abled ex-service men near Racine,
wis. AS members of the Legion's
sick committee from the Racine post
had previously announced that they
would visit the sanitariCm on a GER
tain date, they set out through the
snow to fill the engagement in order
that the patients might have the little
items of personal comfort prepared
by the Legion. Two of the men. Eli
Harmon and Lester Bowman, were
forced to shovel snow more than half
a mile in order to get their car through,
but they arrived at the time set, and
brought first news of the outside
world to the veteran patients in sew
eral days.

rival in the Minnesota city with his
discharge from service in his pocket.
Since that time he has served as post
entertainment officer, post finance Of
ficer and has taken an active part In
local, county and department activities.
When the Ramsey county central COM
mittee of the Legion was organized, he
played principal part. He formed
the successful post drum and bugle
corps, which carried off department
honors in 1922 and 1923. He formed
the Ramsey County Legion Bowling
league, one of the most successful in
the Legion If there has been a pro-
ductive activity of the Legion in st.
Paul, GottIieb very likely figured in it.
Gottlieb was born in Russia and
came to America with his parents in
1898. He is the second son of fam
lily Of eight. Five of the family served
in the World war-three in France.
His high school education was never
completed, as he left during his first
year to become a printers apprentice,
which trade he still follows. With an
other World war veteran he came back
and opened his own shop in the Min
nesota city, which he still operates,
though he says it Is likely his atten-
tion to it will be little during the few
months previous to the st. Paul con-
vention, in view of his present post.

A FEELING OF SECURITY
WHEN YOU USE
SWAMP ROOT

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit-producing drugs.
Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder medicine.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should have
the best On sale at all drug stores in
bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.

Agree on Site for NeuO
War Memorial in Boston

Site for a World war memorial in
Boston, to be built from surplus funds
from the state bonus has been agreed
on by veterans societies. This has
ended long discussion by members of
the American Legion and other or
carnations extending over nearly two
years.
A contention of certain veterans was
that the funds be redistributed pro-
portionately to the towns from whence
the money came About 100000 re-
mains in the fund, and it has been
voted by representatives of the soci
cites that the money shall be expend-
ed on a state shrine, in no way de-
voted to utilitarian purposes. The To-
cation settled on. according to the re-
cent conference, is to be next to the
state house, bounded by Mt. Vernon
and Beacon streets from north to
south and by the state house and Joy
street from east to west.
Eight members of the Legion COM
mittee acted on the proposal, and
voted in favor of the project.

Out-of-Doors Camp to
House Legionnoires

An out-of-doors camp to house visit
ing Legionnaires who attend the de-
partment convention of the Legion In
Asheville, N. c., will be established.
This is believed to be one of the first
instances that the Legion men will,
like the Grand Army of the Republic,
encamp in this manner
1t is believed that hotel facilities
will be overtaxed during the conven-
ton and the Kiffin Rockwell post has
arranged to open huge camp. which
will require 600 tents, 1900 blankets
and 5000 cots to care for the visitors A
small charge Will be made for ac-
commodation, which will include
meals, bus tickets, and to all attrac-
lions planned for the Legionnaires
during the three-day stay.

LEGION'S VISITORS

/. E. Gottlleb, a buck" private dur
post of the American Legion in st.
Paul, Mimi, when delegations gather
there for the annual convention. Gott-
lieb, son of a Russian immigrant, was
elected TO his position as commander
of st. Paul post because of his work
for the Legion, and because his. COM
rades realized his organizing ability.
On the principal post in the conven-
ton city falls much detail work. From
the ranks of that post must be recruit

most toward entertaining their COM

thousand members cast about to see
who fitted this description most accu-

members wers mostly Irish, this did
not deter them from selection of Gott-

SEEK TO IMPORT
ILLITERATE LABOR

A few selfish American business in
terests are seeking to import an 'illit-
crate labor class" as virtual slaves,
Garland w. Powell, director Of Ameri-
canism of the American Legion,
charged in Atlanta, Ga. Powell's dec
laration was made during the course
of an address before an illiteracy con-
ference called by the Legion for the
state of Georgia.
The Legion man read letter from
a New York commercial organization
which stated that the board wanted
this country to admit illiterate immi-
grants IF we exclude all illiterates,
we would be without labor" the letter
said.
Powell said these people seeksto es-
tablish condition of industrial
slavery. He declared that they at
tempted to explain away their attitude
by saying that without illiterates the
nation would be without labor, when
the fact really is that they desire IL
literates so that they can have unintel-
ligent, unthinking labor. Powell fur

seeking to increase immigration so
that they might enjoy the swollen
profits that otherwise would in some
measure go to intelligent labor. He
added that such a move would lower
the standards of education and living.
The letter to which he referred said,
in part:
I'VE notice the slogan in the
first page of your leafiet which reads
as follows: No Illiteracy by 1927 1t
Is not quite clear what this slogan
means. If 1t means that no illiterates
are to be admitted into the United
States as immigrants, it raises a seri-
Gus question and the board would not
approve such stoppage. The labor
class is one that we do not raise in the
United States; it must be imported. If
we exclude all illiterates, we would be
without labor"
This idea, according to Mr. Powell,
means that large section of business
believes that America does not believe
In the dignity of labor. 1t believes
that America must go on and on, inn
porting ''the scum and riff-raff of Eu-
rope, until the majority of our people
is composed of scum and riff-raff."
These things, he declared, are abso-
lutely opposed by the American Lee
gion. He argued that under present
immigration laws of America, foreign
nations make sure that the emigrants
leaving their shores are of low type
of humanity, almost impossible of as
Similation here.

WHAT WE MUST EAT
TO BE WELL NOURISHED

Proteins are the tissue builders"
They contain an element, nitrogen,
fruit and other foods, but a certain
amount of additional sweets" are
craved and the diet should contain
them in some form.
Fat is another energy giver. 1t is
furnished by such foods as potatoes,
rice and other cereals.
Starch supplies energy. IT is one
of the most abundant foods and is
found most atandantly in oils, butter
and cream. Energy is stored in the
body in the form of fats
Mineral salts such as lime, iron,
phosphorus and others are needed by
the body to build tissue and to coun-
teract certain acid formations which
may take place during the process of
digestion Vegetables and fruits and
milk are the sources of these valuable
substances. Milk is rich in lime,
which is one Of the reasons it should
figure largely In the diet of children.
Spinach and beets give US iron, as do
raisins.
which is the woody part of fruits and
vegetables, is necessary to regulate
body processes and aid in the elimina-
ton of waste. Therefore the diet
should contain the coarse vegetables
such as cabbage, lettuce and aspara-
gus, the coarse breads and gritty
cereals.
Liquids also aid in elimination of
waste.
Last, but not least important, are
the vitamines, which have been called
"the protective foods" The exact ma
ture of these substances is still a prob
lem for the scientist to solve. This
much is certain, there are substances
present in some foods which are essen
tial to the proper growth of children
and the good health of every one. The
lack of these substances in the diet
Is the direct cause of certain diseases.
Milk, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables
| contain vitamines. All vitamines are
not present in all these foods, one may
be found in one and another in diff
ferent one.
Peaches, canned in halves, pears
also canned, served with whipped
cream and sprinkling of nuts, are al
ways enjoyed as a light dessert. Serve
with white cookies.

Community Homes to
Be Built in California

Construction of American Legion
homes in eight different communities
in Contra Costa county, California,
will be started this spring. According
to Morgan Keaton, department adj
jutant of the organization, the appro-
priation of $4,000 will be necessary
for this work and approximately $13,-
600 will be allocated to each com
munity.
Under the California law, recently
upheld by the State Supreme court,
a county is given authority to set aside
such funds for erection of commune
ty home for use of veterans, once all
the money is paid into the county
treasury The act was passed in 1921.
The erection of the homes is under d.
rection of the county boards of super
visors and groups of veterans in each
county.

Says Former Service
Mems Party Win Come

Political muddling has cost the for
mer American soldiers so much during
the last four years that the climax will
be establishing a former service mems
party. according to Joseph Schwartz,
a member Of the American Legion in
Atlantic City. Schwartz made this
declaration in speaking before the
Lions club Of that city.

want money, but he wants a soldier
