IMPROVE YOUR

Remove Excess Fat From Neck,
Arms, Hips or Legs

The fashions of today call for a
graceful, slender figure. Every
progressive woman wants to appear
stylish, and that is why progressive
women everywhere are taking Re
Ducc-Oids to Danish unsightly fat
and keep their weight down.
Perhaps YOU say that it is your
nature to be fat You might as well
say il is your nature to have cornS,
buuions. bad teeth or sallow com
plexion You don't tolerate these
defects merely because Nature in
flirtcd them upon YOU. Why, then.
should YOU endure the burden of
supcrfluous fat}
Rc-Ducc-Oids are guaranteed
harmless free from injurious drugs.
Anyone can take them without the
least fear. They assist in dissolving
arcumulations of fat, no matter
where located, in a pleasant, natur-
al way. Bc-Duce-Oids are sold

"WHO But ROOTER.2 ."

To use phrase that is common when men get
together-"Its all over but the shouting"
With over 600 delegates pledged to support him
and only 545 necessary for choice, it is a certainty
that Herbert Hoover will be the Republican choice for
the presidency, and by all the signs this presages a
Republican victory next November
Astute politicians throughout the country have
realized for many weeks that only man could de-
feat Hoover at Kansas City, and that man meant
what he said last summer in the famous Il do not
choose statement. He meant it an emphatic no
regardless of how hundreds have chosen to disor and
mlsnterpret 1t. The wonder has not been that Mr..
Coolidge would refuse to seek the office again but
that high in Republican circles would not
accept his decision at its face value
We do not believe Secretary Mellon was ever in
doubt to the enphacnesS of the presidents decna-
ton. He simply played politics, withholding his final
endorsement of Hoover until he certain the latter
was the strongest among the candidates. Events of
the past few weeks have proved that he is. Mellon
merely waited to be the last to hop the band-wagOn
and he perched there spelled the doom of
the "also-rans''
within his ranks there is no doubt that he will
make strong candidate. The dissatisfaction will be
smoothed out before next November, Republicans be-
ing notoriously loyal to the party" Talk of totng
may be taken with grain OF SALT and threats to sup
port Smith rather than Hoover may be taken with
era grains. Men-poitcians especially like to talk,
but their actions quite often belle their words.
Present indications are that General Dawes will
again be the running mate, There is man better
qualified With Hoover he will make strong team,
possibly even better team than Coolidge and Dawes.
The Republican party in presenting a Hoover
Dawes ticket to the of the country, offers
tnuaton Of the constructive Coolidge policies which
have been successful during the past four years and
which bid to be entirely acceptable to the voters when
they go to the polls in November.
Californians in particular have every to be
highly gratfed at the selection of Herbert Hoover
the Republican candidate. 1t is almost positive
ance that the first president of the United States to be
chosen from the West will hail from the Golden State
and it is just recognition of the important part which
California should play in national politics, recOgnl
ton which has too long oeen denied her

THE Flag

Tomorrow is Flag Day commemorating the
15ls anniversary of the adoption of the United States
flag by the Fourth Continental Congress June IA,
1777
1t is the day on which Americans pay particular
tribute to the STARS and Stripes though the same
tribute should be paid the national coors every day
in the year.
The American who gaze on even the most
faded and torn emblem of his country without teemg
emotion stir within him, Is not much OF an LeIl-
can Nor is this statement to be construed as coun-
tenancng mawkish sentimentalty toward the nag.
1t demands of the highest form of veneration
and love- and he who cannot accord 1t that feeling,
naturally and without ostentation is lacking in the
highest ideals Of patriotism and love Of country.
To boast Of ones love for the flag is as uncalled
for as it boast of ones love for his mother his
wife To question anothers love for it is equally
absurd. To believe that person not born under Its
folds cannot love much he who has been so for
tunate is to fly in the face of facts
than white skins men of various political faiths; men
of every religious belief Of religion at all nave
learned to love the flag, have been Wiling TO hght Tor

poor, miserable wretch, with an American
name and white skin, betrayed it. Other men, con-
scjcntious without doubt in their personal beliefs

Love Of the flag is not limited 10 any nqTFioua
Or any particular group. It found IN the rlcn man ,

EDITORIAL
CURING DEMENTIA PRAECOx

What Is the most truly important bit of news you have seen "a the { newspapers recently?
 That's rather hard question to answer. But our own candidate ! happens to be a little story from New York telling how psychiatrists have discovered a cure for the strange malady known as dementia praecox. It has been a long time since we have seen story 80 pack ed with significance as that one. Most people have only hay idea what dementia praecox is. They know 1t Is some kind of a mental disorder that usually seizes a per- son of extreme youth-one just entering the 'teens-and bit by bit transforms such person from an intelligent. potentially useful mem ber of society into helpless de- fective or dangerous maniac.
 One of it's worst features is that it afflicts the sufferer of delusions of grandeur or persecution. The patient imagines that he is a god and can do no wrong; or thinks the world is in conspiracy against him, with every man his enemy. These two states of mind, particu- larly the latter one. frequently lead to deeds of apparently cause less violence.
 The number of murders caused by this disease is large. To make matters worse, in most cases the murderer is considered a criminal. where he should rightly be looked upon az an invalid He is electro cuted or locked in penitentiary for life. instead of being given tho skillful. humane treatment which he should have.
 That is why this message from medical science is of the highest importance. It opens the way to the elimination of some of civiliza- tion's most shocking tragedies; and it points to the transformation of

OLD TOWNS AND NEW

4 great ge has come up: :' American towns in the last twenty years.
 American towns are strikingly alike. This is as true now as it
 was at the beginning of this cen tury. Yet the similarity nowadays is different from the similarity of
 two decades ago.
 Slowly and steadily our towns
 are losing the peaceful, detached air that once was theirs Not
 long ago. the casual traveller cas- fly could find small city that was ! many leagues removed from any
 thing savoring of modernity or up
 to-date-ness. Dusty main streets, wooden sidewalks. quiet squares. a general atmosphere of peaceful
 somnolence and unhurried friend lipess-these were the character istics of the minor city until rec
 entity.
 But the change has come Ev- ely town, even the smallest, is alive, nervously eager to grow big ger and noiser than befora. The dusty main streets are becoming brick or cement; the wooden side wa'ts have long since beta re placed: even the remotest town has its radio store. it's up-to-the-minute garages; it's Chambers of lndust- ry. it's movie theatres and so an. The old sleepiness is gone. and the tense speed of modern America has replaced it.
 There are many people to whom all of this seems a shame. Dorht- less 1t is true there was some thing extremely attractive about the old town: the town where life flowed in a moderate, unhurried manner. where people could spare time from the rush of making money to enjoy the unique Lrivi- leges of the small city-peace. rest and quiet. And. indubitably. there is something repellant about
 many modern towns: they are, some of them. so hurried. so blat ant, so frankly and unashamedly ugly.
 Yet this is progress-even tho if may often seem to some people like deterioration.
 For the change that has come upon the small city Is only symp- tom of the change that has to come upon the country as whole. AS people we have become tre- mendously busy. We are in a mighty hurry: and it is worth re- membering that we are hurrying toward something. not away from something. We have goal. and we are working toward it, even though we may not always see
 just what it is
 The American town. caught up in this rush. is changing. It's old virtues are disappearing, but new ones are emerging. and 1t Is not hard to trust that. in the end they will make our towns better places than ever in which to live.
