respondents thrilled for about the
first time this year.
Hoover headquarters here was not
frightened, but was distinctly dis
turbed. Apparently the folks there
had mistaken Smith for Little Lord
Fauntleroy. They had supposed
Smith knew that he had no business
chasing the farmers, that it wasn't

eggs, bricks, vegetables, and other
such material in q presidential con-
test and that the Emily Posts Of

Yet Smith had done oil these
things and the next day was one Of

Washington, Oct. Everyone
who can read or, failing chat, knows
what the words from the loudspeak-
er mean, must realize by now that
this is political campaign and that
the candidates don't mean maybe.
Unless AL Smith loses his voice,
it probably will figure - the hot
test campaign since 1896. 1t Is
certainly eclipsing those Of 1900,
1904 and 1908. The 1912 result was
a foregone conclusion in which Taft
and Roosevelt pasted each other
while Wilson walked into the White
House.
No one could have hoped for =
hot campaign in 1915 with two
austere intellectuals such az Hughes
and Wilson leading the parties and
the brave efforts Of Cox in his hope

publicans.
In 1924 there was no attack at
all insofar as the major parties
were concerned and one candidate
appeared about as colorless and con-
sentative as the other.
On the surface, the present CAM
paign seemed rather q disAppoint-
ment from the standpoint Of sensa-
tions up to the time Smith reached
Omaha. It looked % II the candi-
dates might act like Davis and Cool
idge in 1924, performing like 4

ing nobody, while a lot Of dirty work
went on under the surface as usual.
But suddenly things began to hap

Within u hours, Smith had blown
off the roof Of all hopes that it
would be q nice, sweet, respectable.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: T. B. asks: "What Is

cause and cure-if there is cure !"
Answer: Locomotor ataxia 10
caused by some interference with
the nerve supply going to the legs.
This occurs principally in the lum-

entirely cured through following the
advice she received through this
health service. This patient reports
that before starting the treatment
she could not walk at all and that
four leading physicians in her home
town had declared her case hopeless.

this was advised. Special instruc-

Minnesota's apportionment of federal aid for high
ways has been fixed at $12595 for each of the
1929, 1880 and 1884, by the Bureau Of Public Roads
in the Department of Agriculture This is more than is
allotted to any other state in the northwest Wisconsin
receives 81 ,S64212, Iowa $2,O35291, North Dakots
$1,193,44O, South Dakota $l,22S,ssl, and Montana
$1,552,576.
Three factors are considered in the allotment of
funds: area population and the mileage Of rural mail
routes and star routes. Federal aid funds must be
matched with equal amount Of state highway funds

states farther west come in the latter classification
and the minimum state share is less than the federal
aid.
