case Of chronic indigestion and
after eating I suffered so muchl
from gas palms. dizziness, heard
palpitation and smothering spells,
that I dreaded to see mealtime
come. 7 lost weight rapidly and
felt exhausted from under-nourish-

"BiliousneSS and constipation
added to my suffering and my kid
neys were so badly disordered that
there was a hard pain across the
small Of my back and I had to get
up several times every night. This
broke into my sleep and brought
on extreme nervousness.
"The medicine j took didn't help,
me, and I heard so many Of my
neighbors praising Sargon 7 de-
cided to try it. Now, I too. want
to help spread the good news 10
other sufferers. Sargon helped me
from the first. I began to eat big
wholesome meals without a bit of
trouble afterWard. The pain in
my back disappeared and I never
have to get up at night now. Sar-

HOOVER DOCTOR

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Feb. 90.
DIR. ]. L. Leech, former family
physician for Herbert Hoover's fam
lily in West Branch, announced to-
day that he and Mrs. Leech are
going to Washington to witness the
Inauguration as President of the
United States of him who, as a
boy, used to play in the Leech
yard and stic't his feet under the
Leech family board at lunch time.
DR.. Leech is now 81 years old, his
wife two years younger, yet they
believe they will endure the rigors
of the long trip without dire
results.
When Herbert Hoover left West
Branch. and disappeared into the
land of the setting sun, DR.. Leech
lost all track of him. Years passed
until one day the physician dis
covered that Hoover was the head
of the Belgian Relief Commission,
feeding Europe's starving hosts
DR.. Leech wrote Hoover a letter
of felicitation on the excellent work
he was doing. recalling many little
events of his boyhood. When
Hoover visited West Branch after
his nomina ton at Kansas City, DR..
Leech was among the. first to
congratulate him.

VAN buren, PUT
IN SHADE

When Martin Van Buren was In
augllrated President in 1881, the
shadow of his great predecessor
Gen. Andrew Jackson-hovered over
the White House.
1t was for this reason that the
phaeton built of wood of the frig-
ate Constitution, presented by the
Democracy of New York to the
to Washington for the inaugural
procession. In it were seated "Old
Hickory" and President Van Buren.
with the former getting most of the
cheering.
General Jackson, indeed, did
something which had never been
done before and has never been
done since. He decided to remain
in the White House for some lime
as the guest of President Tan
Buren,. He was so popular in WASH
ington that officials almost felt he
could stay in the mansion as Pres.
ident emeritus. A week or more
elapsed before he finally departed
for THE Hermitage" his family
homestead in Tennessee.
Then there was the Inauguration
of William Henry Harrison in lS41
with it's picturesque procession of
''log cabin floats. Some $4,000
persons came to Washington for the
event, huge crowd for its day.
Early accounts do not show exactly
how the small city cared for such
a host. The Wings of Baltimore pre-
sented to the incoming President a
carriage for his use In the parade,
but he preferred to ride on horse
back.
Harrison lived only month after
he was inducted into the Presidency,

VOTE PLEA To
VISITORS
HERE

The grim spectre of Washington's
lost vote is at large.
Extensive plans Of presenting
their appeal for the right of suf-
frage are being made by civic lead
ers throughout the city. They in
tend to present this appeal to Wis
itors at the inaugural ceremonies in
the form of radio talks, pamphlets,
signs and personal talks.
The plans, which have been
worked up for almost year, will be
brought to a head on inaugura ton
day, they say. No definite an
nouncement of the plans has been
made, but daily conferences for the
further formulation of them are
being held.
Some time ago concerted drive
was started by several of the larger
organizations and since that time
other civic organizations have fallen
into line.

HOOVER LIKELY
To PASS UP
HORSES

Even though George Washington
and most Of his successors in the
White House were fond of horses
and horse drawn vehicles with the
possible exceptions of Presidents
Hayes, Adams and Garfield, it is
hardly to be supposed that Presi.
dent elect Hoover will discard the
horseless carriage and revert back
to the days and custom when well
groomed horses and finely kept car
riages were hallmarks of dis
tinction.
George washington probably was
the greatest horsemen of all the
Presidents and his fondness for
His stable at Mt. Vernon included
breds of his time.
Andrew Jackson was practically
reared on horse. He spent his
early boyhood days in the Cherokee
mountain range in Tennessee, where
horse was the only means of
establishing communication between
the sparsely scattered mountainers.
William Henry Harrison refused
the offer of a carriage drawn by
four white horses, offered him by
the Wings of Baltimore. Instead
he saddled his old horse and rode
in pomp to Washington for the
inaugural ceremonies.
President Zachary Taylor was ex.
elusive because he rode about the
city streets astride an old horse
which he rode in many of his ex-
ploits during the Mexican war
Presidents Pierce, Tyler, Van Bu'
rem, Polk, Buchanan, Lincoln, John
son, Grant and Roosevelt all were
greatly interested in horses. Presi'
dent Taft selected beautiful car
riage in which he took daily ride.
