room discussions and arguments.
But there is no deep stratagem now
under way to put over any particu-
lar candidate. There are several
aspirants and each one has his
forces determined to take advantage
of the first psychological moment
| that seems to present itself. Most
of the political leaders present will
be working for their own best inter-
ests and the interests of the party
will more often than not coincide
with theirs.
No evidence has been produced
Of the carefully laid plot suspect
ed by many to put over Vice Presi-
dent Dawes. There is Dawes SEN
timent throughout the middle west,
along with Lowden sentiment.
Dawes can have Illinois and In
diana about solid, with a minority
of Ohio delegates, if his chances
seem good =. any time. There is a
/ sprinkling of Dawes sentiment
| through the east. But the politi-
Glars who would like to nominate
Dawes are, like all the rest, only
waiting to see what turns up-which
may be anything if they manage to
stop Hoover.
Instead of practicing their arts
! and wiles behind the scenes, these
stop-Hoover politicians will use
fearsome ,hoops and wild threats
against the men whose decision
will finally decide the nomination.
The latter, by force of circum-
stances, are in a position to jump,
be pushed or to refuse to bulge.
The most important and most in
teresting of these political person
alities is Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew w. Mellon. This frail but
active septuagenarian is enjoying
his position # power, for, as every
one knows, the uninstructed Penn
sylvania delegation will probably be
able to decide whether Hoover can
have the nomination or not.
The Mellon fun is doubtless cloyed
by the fact that he can't make much
Of any move without the approval
of Boss Ware of Philadelphia, who
shares control Of Pennsylvania with
him. but the Keystone staters
doubtless will function together this
year as they have in the past.
Mellon prefers Coolidge or
Hughes but would prefer Hoover
to Dawes, and so, apparently, would

can be talked or scared out of sup
porting Hoover. Whichever way
they jump. no one need be sur
prised.
Another politician Of Importance
will be J. Henry Roraback, national
committeeman from Connecticut
and survivor of the Penrose-Crane-
Plat type. Unlike Mellon and
Hilles Of New York, Roraback will
not have to worry about any pro-
Hoover insurgency in his delegation.
The Connecticut delegation is the
most enthusiastic pro-Coolidge
group headed for Kansas City.
What Vice Chairman Hilles will
be able to do with his uninstruct-
ed New York delegation remains to
be seen. He may vote nearly all of
it for Coolidge on the first ballots;
the same possibility is true as re-
CARDS Mellon and his Pennsylvan-
ians. Hilles is regarded as !: repre-
sentative of the Wall street finan-
ciers. He is not opposed to Hoov-
err personally, but wants candi-

q priceless legacy from his mother
Woodward has reached the point where he doesn't

it wasn't anything that money could ever buy.
His mothers will read recently, after her
death. In it the following paragraph:

during his life, and it is my desire that he remember

Money when the real fundamental things Of life
are concerned, is not a commodity OF very great
value after all. It will buy food, clothing. houses,

. man cannot live by them alone. The thing that
sets man above the beasts, makes life worth living
and convinces him of his immortality has nothing to do
with money 1t has to do, rather, with the giving Of
service and devotion and the receiving Of love in
xreturn.
And, Is a man grows older, there is the matter

this background has texture that will bear close

Ghas been made rich beyond most How many
men look back into the past and see record
such as his: The has never given me cause for un-
happiness or worry during his life!" How many men
would not give every cent they own to be able to
lido it?
And then there is that other line: lit 10 my desire

Truly, it splendid legacy that Mr. Woodward
received. To real man it il valuable than

Stocks and bonds you use for while, but when

Dearest Nom:
Now don't become excited about

taken the family bus to drive to the
golf course-I happened onto Pede
lin his roadster. He was headed
my way, and it seemed to me quite
innocent to be driven home instead
of boarding the trolley.

drop me at my home, since he was
driving that way anyhow. I hadn't

DECEPTIVE BLADDER PAINS

DECEPTIVE BLADDER PAINS
Many people, who think they are
suffering from kidney disease, are
really feeling the effects of dis
order Of the bladder. The symptoms
of this trouble are varied, but usual
ly include pain in the back or groin,
painful or frequent passing Of urine,
gravel-like sediment, blood, and
sometimes Mains that are mistaken
for rheumatism. These disorders
are found in both sexes, at any age,
f-om the cradle to the wheel chair.
Some form Of inflammation is
practically always present in blad-
der trouble. This is usually slow
in developing, but may form sud-
denly from an unusual irritant or in
lection.
The bladder walls arc adapted to
contain a slightly acid fluid. A per-
manent tendency toward either ex-
cessive alkalinity or acidity will
produce enough irritation to inflame
the delicate lining. Some foods and
medicines are particularly irritating
to the bladder and kidneys. This is
true Of onions, garlic, turpentine,
wintergreen, and wrong combina-
tions Of food.
The pressure of abdominal organs
upon the bladder itself is a cause
of weakness that is not often
recognized. The intestines, and
sometimes actually the stomach it.
self may slip down out of their
natural positions and weigh upon
the bladder. Children often have
mild cases of bladder inflammatioa
that become acute at the age Of
puberty from the pressure of de-
ve,oping organs. In women, there
is often a pressure from the womb
during pregnancy, and sometimes
forms an antro-ersion failing for
wardi. A shyness or carelessness.
causing one not to obey the natural
calls, will often be the beginning
of a bladder irritation.
Stones in the bladder, or renal cal

bladder, and severe, sharp pains up

tendency to frequent urination, and
usually only small amount can
b passed at a time, which may be
tinged with blood. The calculi or
gravel may vary in size from a
dusty sediment to that Of a fair
sized marble.
/ Oxalic acid, found in many COM
mon foods, is the basis of most cal
Gull. This acid should be oxidized
and rendered entirely harmlcs; just
as arc the citric acids, but in few
individuals, suffering from acidosis,
the oxalic acid is passed through
without being consumed. AS long
as the individual has this tendency,
he should avoid those foods con-
tanning oxalic acid. The common
ly used foods that contain sufficient
oxalic acid to be avoided are cocoa,
tea, pepper. sorrel, spinach. and
rhubarb. Contrary to the opinions
of many, tomatoes do not contain
enough of this acid to have any
detrimental effect.

Washington, June 8.-Sometimes
the hand of fate stretches out from,
a smoke filled hotel room in the
early morning hours and picks an
obscure third-rater to lead his party,
perhaps to victory, in a presiden-
tial campaign.
But not this year at Kansas
City.
It's not year for the Favorite
Sons-the men nobody knows. II
a Repub,:c:l victory in November
was already assured, the situation
might be different. But the party
is going to present the country
with the kind of man who already
has prestige and large following
after carefully determining which
candidate has the best chance to
win.
For that reason there will be less
wire pulling than the electorate has
been led to except at national con-
ventions. There appears to be q
notable absence Of deep, dark plots.
AS a matter of fact, those govern

In past years, furthermore, every
one knew just who would control
a convention-especially q Repub-
lican convention. There were
Hanna, Penrose, Crane, Aldrich,
Quay and such as they. They gave
the nomination to the man they
wanted nominated, and no one else
had look-in.
This year there is less subter.
ranean work going on than ever
It's nearly all on the surface and

~ two years and very often l have
distressing pains below the stomach.
The doctor thinks | will have to have
an operation and have the gall blad-
der taken out before I shall be bet
ter. Do you think shall be obliged
to have this operation ?"
Answer: 1t is unwise for me to
attempt to diagnose your case
through this column or to estimate
whether or not you should have the
gall bladder operation. / find only
a small percentage Of gall bladder
cases require operation, as a diet
treatment will usually effect COM
plete cure. The diet should be tried
first and if this fails it is time
enough to try surgery.
Question: j. G. r. writes: II use
two tablespoons of bran along with
clabber every morning for my break
fast. This acts as laxative. Is
this combination all right ?"
Answer: The combination of
bran and clabbered milk is all right
for you if you are getting results

the clabber, discarding the whey.
