 My country owes me no debt.
 Tt gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, chance
 "The convention affirmed the principles of our party and de- fined the policy upon problems which now confront us.

NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT VERY
 CAPABLE, EFFICIENT

Herbert Clark Hoover's name first commanded general atten. ton in the tense days of August, 1914. The swift German onrush across Belgium into France brought home the fatal signifi- canoe of war to legions of Ameri- cans, pleasure seekers, tourists. and students, who annually scat ter across the European conti- nent. In the first clash, while the armies of the nations of the Old World mobilized for Der Tag these hapless visitants found money almost worthless and bank credit entirely so. In darkened cities out of which trains no long er ran, or countrysides denuded of shelter and subsistence, where the stranger and the alien could look neither for tolerance, nor as. sistance in escaping.
 Hoover the Man
 The news of their predictment had barely begun to trickle when newspaper readers generally leau- ed also that a hastily formed American relief committee in Lon don, headed by man named Hoover, had assumed the respon- sibility of getting them away. The task, it appeared, had been performed with unexpected swift ness, and success, and for MT. Hoover there ensued a decade of high pressure performance, of ever widening responsibility, that at the height of war made him chief of the effort of the Allied countries and the United States to subsist their populations and their armies. Cessation of war ddi not end his activities, and he remained one of the foremost fig ures in American political life, undertaking major duties in con nection with the food provisions for the exhausted peoples of half the area of Eurasia, and eventual ly serving with recognized dis tinction in the cabinet.
 Curious Personality
 Hardly anything but the social upheaval of the war could have brought to the front rank of American political life a person ality at once so curiously gifted and so curiously constrained. Though ah almost intuitive grasp of group psychology, is one basis of MT. Hoover's success. first in organizing industry and later in meeting the huge emergencies of famine and pestilence, his con- tacts with strangers always ex- hibited him as impassive, in- drawn, individual, incapable of

demonstrativeness and devoid O impressiveness.
 Similarly, the adventure of lis tening to him reading with dog ged persistence most meaty but tedious speech created ecstatiC thrills for very few Yet those who were at hand during his many crises of conflict will hard ly forget the bewildering trans formation that pressure produced in his customary demeanor. ln the clash of a conference, or un- der the hammering of hostile cross-examination before a major public tribunal, the masking man. ner fell away as scabbard leaves a sword blade, and there comes into action man curtly incisive as to speech, coolly commanding unsurpassed Knowledge of men and matters and science, and brilliantly aggressive in the dis. play of capacity and will to dom mate.

Marvellous Tales


 Those who read Mr. HOover's output of writing on any subject likewise will stumble across some nugget of by-product humof most naturally if ineongruously adjust ed to the solemn facts he mostly treated. And much of his writ ten matter i5 shot through with pungently phrased and highly in dividualistic epigrams setting out some conclusion built from his unfailing insight His intimates valued beyond price the odd half hours when, speaking in mono tone over a smoldering cigar, he would give way in reminiscent mood to the impulse to recount marvellous tales of struggles with devil doctors in China, romantic hunts for underground mineral treasure. or personal experiences with war makers and revolution ists.
 Even in his amusements, Mir. Hoover departs from common standards. He fishes sometimes in desultory fashion. and motors over considerable distances. On many occasions, as well, partici- pants to such tour had the ex- perience of watching a grave cab inet member, more than a little muddied as to trousers and shirt. supervising the efforts of pack of absorbed youngsters in con structing miniature dam across some Maryland or Virginia creek.

Surprise Withdrawal

The surprise withdrawal of for
 mer Gov Frank O. Lowden help
 ed the Hoover landslide. Lcwden withdrew his name from the nomination because he did not approve of the Farm Re- lief plank adopted in the party's platform.
 The 24 Lowden Illinois votes
 went to Hoover and then the march to Hoover turned into an impressive colorful political en-
 thusiasm leaving the officials powerless.
 Demonstration Staged The delegates staged 20 min ute demonstration when Hoover's
 name was mentioned at the start Of the nomination speech. A less violent demonstration was staged : at the end of the speech and when he was nominated. Low den's sudden withdrawal, after the bitter Farm Relief plank
 fight, left some of the delegates glum while few booed and eheered. The withdrawal of Low den was read by the man who
 was supposed to have made the nomination.
 Several other speakers slammed the withdrawal but Lowden was
 holding to his promise that he T .I 4i-

What is this Mysterious Substance
In Beef Liver that Brings Joyous Health
to Thin BIOOded, Anemic People!
Eat More Liver:" Doctors Advise

If you don't know-You ought Ia
know-that science has discovered
in beet and calves liver a 'Mysteri
Gus Substance" that by actual test
has succeeded in restoring to good
health thousands of weak, thin
blooded, wornout people.
So leading physicians the country
over are advising their rundown
thin blooded patients to eat more
liver for better health, more energy
and greater vitality.
So wonderfully efficient is this
Mysterious substance" that in
many hospitals that dread disease
Pernicious Anemia, has been sue
cessfully treated and overcome.
But getting into the system this
potent Mysterious Substance by
eating liver is recognized as a slow
process-too slow for the average
eager American who wants to get
we'll speedily.
So one of the best known labora.
tories in America, after prolonged
experiments, succeeded in extracting
from fresh beef liver the vital ele.
ments and put up this extract in
concentrated form, very. palatable
ana even pleasant to the taste.
You can go to any Peoples Drug
Store today and get big IL ounce
bottle of Hemo-Liver that will last
you eight days. 1t is not a patent
medicine.
A tablespoonful is dose and
you'll have to eat lot OF liver to
get as much of this red blood max
ing Mysterious Substance" rs
you'll get in one tablespoonful of
Hemo-Liver.
Indeed its powerful efficacy is so
apparent that one bottle, or eight
days treatment, often brings such
a big Improvement in health that

A GOLDEN DEED

YOU cannot do anyone a good

You cannot even do thing of

A good deed is like a pebble

even when they are past the water
still is disturbed just as humans
react for a long time to a good
deed after the doer of it has gone
