Laugh for Health.
From the Associate Contractor.

The diaphragm beats a tattoo nm
the stomach when you laugh. Every
time you let go good hearty laugh,
this diaphragm pops up and down
on your liver. and helps to drive away
the very thing that gives you the
blues-biliousness.
Laughter is the best brand of pills
on earth. Laughter strikes in when
1t comes from without, and instantly
comes to the surface when it starts
from within.
You may laugh because you are
happy, and you may be happy be-
cause you laugh. It is the one thing
where the cause is the effect and the
effect is the cause. Any man can be
a millionaire of good cheer.

GIRL DIRECTING i INDIANA CAMPAIGN
Gertrude McHueh Takes Worries
 Of Tom 7aeeart's Mind

Boston, Oct. 29.-Tom Taggart, ill in hospital here, isn't worried be- cause he cannot be in Indiana to di- rect the democratic campaign. AS long as Gertrude McHugh is on the job he knows that he will not be missed.
 Every day Miss McHugh calls Taggart on the telephone to let him know the political tide turns in the Hoosier state.
 Miss McHugh carries the title of secretary of the Indiana state demo- cratic committee, but in truth she's the whole works" Even before Tom Taggart became ill she ran democratic affairs in her state.
 Probably no other woman in America holds so much power in her own domain. With her ascendency there approaches an era of feminine political bosses.
 Tom Taggart will tell you that in all Indiana there is no man who knows his politics as thoroughly as this young woman. And there isn't a democrat, republican or progress sve in the state who doesn't take off his hat to her, literally and fgura- lively speaking.
 State issues will decide the fate of the national tickets in Indiana this year." she says. We are go- ing to elect Dr. McCulloch governor and he will carry Davis with him. We believe we will have full sup port from the negro voters because we have interested the negro wom- yen in politics.
 "In Indiana the democratic party does not recognize sex. A woman is not discriminated against, nor is she given special privileges. Once she enters politics she is a voter, not a woman"
 It was Gertrude McHugh who or iginated the "fifty-f1fty' scheme whereby women were given equal say with men in state party politics. By means of that scheme 5000 wom- en were enlisted in active cam paign work as regular members of the state organization.
 This new "petticoat boss was born in a family of politicians. She was Sam Ralstons secretary when he was governor. She played a prominent part in the last two na- tional conventions Of her party.
 But think not that she isn't en- tirely feminine. Step into her office any day and you'll find bright rose on her desk.
