hall harassed with fear. A dozen
times he decided to bring DR.. Price,
but always held back, remembering
the warning words of that stricken
man beyond the door. What mis-
trust could Bob have of the bluff,
plain-spoken doctor? Yet he had
been so insistent. mo DOCTOR" he
had said. mo doctor"
BY six o'clock Bob's delirium had
not quoted. The man was pitifully
weak and in distress. The girl still
crouched by the bed. She seemed
strangely out of place in that low
cut spangled dress. Her black eyes
were without hope.
"He hasn't known me-" she whis-
pered up at him. mot once"
Ted looked once more into the
mans agonized face, and made his
decision.
I'm going to bring DR.. Price.
"But-"

But if we don't get help, he'll die"
Then after moment he added slow

"How can you be sure7"
Ted's big hands clenched. He
looked down at the pale, uncon-
scious figure beneath the bedclothes.
This man was his friend, and now
he lay helpless. perhaps dying. II

For the first time that day sense
Of security came to the girl. She
looked at the square, firm jaw and
again the solaee of his protection
brought her comfort. This big, de-
termined man before her was an
ally.
Price was already up. Ted found
the red-faced doctor chewing CT
gar and slipping a steaining cup Of
coffee.
Just got back from the Mexican
quarter" he grumbled. IF they'd
only have their babies at some white
mans hour" Then he stopped as
he caught the tense, anxious look in
Radcliffe's eyes.
'It's about Bob" Ted told him.
Bring whatever you need for gun
wound and come with me"
Hastily Price filled his satchel
and followed the man to the car.
Whats happened?"
Bob was shot in the side. He
has lost lot of blood. He's de-
lirious now"
when was he shot?"

down the street Price pulled his hat
low over his forehead.

Hurley Gets Pearson
County Farmers Press

A few months ago, Robert Allen,
co-author of the sensational best
seller, wv ashington Merry-Go-
Round" was summarily discharged.
Allen asserted that the order came
from the white house for his dis
charge because of the uncomplimen-
tary things which were said about the
administration in the volume he
helped write.
A short while ago, volume en-
titled More Washington Merry Co
Round" was written, in which one
Drew Pearson, Washington CORES
pondent for the Baltimore Sun, wrote
an unflattering chapter about Secre-
tary of War Hurley. In his volume
he charged that Hurley had made a
property exchange by securing the
promise Of the renting officer in the
Hurley department that the building
would continue to be rented by the
government.
Hurley called Pearson into the war
office. A hot session cnsued, pune
tuated by numerous threats by Hur-
ley that he would "get" Pearson for
writing that book, and that Pearson
would soon find himself out of a job.
Hurley was right. The owner of the
newspaper had Pearson called in. he
was asked to resign, requesting that
he be discharged instead. He was.
Arthur Sears Henning, Chicapo
Tribune correspondent. in an article
appearing in that newspaper, relates
the story Of Parsons discharge and
calls attention to the multitudinous
influences that are brought to bear
on correspondents to write what
pleases the white house and the pow
ers that be. Referring to social and
other means whereby the correspond
ents are kept in line, Henning says:
Those who are not amenable to such
influence may be subject to intimi-
dation. A correspondent whose re-
portlngs are displeasing to the adj
ministration Is given to understand
that his discharge will be produced
II he does not mend his ways" He
then relates that extraordinary DO
litical and social pressure is some
times used to get" too truthful a
correspondent.
It may sound fantastic in the him
terlands, those tales of washington

the political big-wigs, but concrete
evidence Of how dangerous it is to
offend make the matter no joke to
writers. And in tribute to theil
spirit, there are more iconoclastil

CURVES AND CUSHIONS FOR
SKINNY WINNIE WITH BEST
WISHES OF OLD DOC BRADY

I still like EN- plump, yet blush
ingly admit there are lot of Skinny
Winnies who are now able to stay on
their knees long enough to add And
God bless Old Doc Brady"
For years now I have been quietly
but judiciously distributing my mono
graph How to Gain Weight" free

it and inclose stamped envelope
correctly addressed. Every little while
I get a pretty darn CHEEKY testimonial
from some one who has acquired
needed flesh by following the instruc-
tons in the monograph. Still, in spite
of my best efforts, some of these
skinny ones have remained holy
rights until-they found an up-to-
date physician who will give them the
insulin treatment.
Oh. yes, suppose there are still a
few hopeless old fogy practitioners
who have never heard of using insulin
merely to give person some needed
flesh. For all know there may even
be quaint bird here and there who
opines such treatment is dangerous"

doctors are likely to give to almost
any modern therapeutic development;
they can't learn the new trick OF" mas
ter the new technic. so they fall back
ON the suggestion that it is danger
ous," which is enough to frighten their
gullible customers off.
Insulin plays an important role in
physiology. It makes you eat.
One patient gains 20. pounds in %
days of insulin treatment. Another
gains 10 pounds in IL days. The treat
ment is begun by administering 3
units of insulin every three hours.
The dose Of insulin is gradually in
creased until 10 units or even larger
doses are given every three hours.
Patients are directed to keep some
carbohydrate food always at hand,
and to indulge in it freely-sugar,
milk chocolate. candy, orange juice,
ice cream, cake, sandwich, bread or
cracker, milk, even sweetened tea.
Never mind about the diet otherwise.
Just clean up whatever good eats hap
pen to be within reach.
This treatment produces q remark
able increase in appetite. probably an
increase in stomach capacity, and
most significant Of all, q genuine
pleasure in eating.
Worry, anxiety, fear and other un-
pleasant emotions are notorious for
making victims wan and thin. Prob
ably these emotions produce the sad
effect by diminishing the natural in
ternal secretion of insulin.
So cheer up, you skinny folk. and
shop around for an up-to-date doctor
who will give you the insulin treat
ment even though there is no ques-
ton of diabetes.
If this suggestion seemed too novel
or visionary when I first published it
here good while ago, it is now a well
established principle Of modern thera-
peutics.

glance and a nod. Price gave no
sign of her presence.
For long time he looked down
on the bed. At last he called for
warm water, and with Ted's help
changed the bandages. Through it
all Bob lay in a state of half-con-
seriousness. Price darkened the
room, then again sat in troubled
silence watching the pale face. To
Ted and the girl he spoke no word
until they were on the porch out
side.
"Welll" Ted forced himself to
ask.
"Quien sabe? He may make it or
he may not. But he's lost too much
blood"

But the doctor had suddenly
changed his mind. Thanks" he
said. Tied and l have a few inn

Turning on his heel, he made his
way back to the house.

into a chair and chewed for a time
on his cigar while Ted sat silently
ON the top step looking across the
sands. Dimly he knew the thoughts
that were passing through the doc
tors mind. He knew too where
those thoughts at last must lead.
There was no stopping that. He had
taken a chance-and lost. The least
he could do now was to insure the
silence of this man. Tensely he sat
and waited. At last he felt the doc.

Prices face was worn, the eyes
troubled with this new. unwelcome
knowledge. At last he spoke.
"I've half expected this. More than

truth any sweeter." His voice came

Wind in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's political winds caused
a major turnover in the primary
election Tuesday but it remains to be
seen what will happen there before
the ides Of November roll around.
Outstanding, OF course, was the
downfall Of the LaFollette dynasty,
supreme in the state since "Old Bob"
reared to the farmers that they were
being made the slaves of the rail-
roads and big business, selling them
on the idea so thoroughly that his
influence extended to his sons after
his death. But the younger LaFol-
lettes seem to lack the ability of their
father, common thing in politics,
and so what was once great name
in Wisconsin suffers its first defeat
in more than 40 years.
The really significant thing, how
ever, was the enormous swing of in
terest to the Democratic ticket. Two
years ago a lone candidate for gov
ernor got 1900 votes in the primary
election. This year there were three
candidates battling for the office and
the number of votes cast probably
will exceed 10000. On this basis
there were some $4,000 who ignored
the tradition that to vote at a Demo-
cato primary in Wisconsin is to lose
your vote, since the Republican NOM
ination is equivalent to election.
There can be no question but that
the tremendous swing to the Demo-
Gratis aided in the defeat of young
Governor LaFollette and Senator
Blaine. One reason those people
went Democratic is because they were
dissa tisfied with conditions as they
are. People of this ilk have been the
backbone of the LaFollette strength
in the state. 1t seems a fair infer
ence, therefore, that the loss of these
votes to the Republicans meant more
to the son of "Old Bob than it did
to Mr.. Kohler, the gubernatorial
nominee.
Incidentally, there is some poetic
justice in the returns insofar as the
governorship is concerned. AS a
groundwork for his campaign against
Kohler two years ago, Philip LaFol-
lette, then states attorney of Dane
county. in which Madison is located.
brought numerous charges against
the governor and forced a trial. The
apparent object was to focus the
spotlight on the young attorney, since
there never was chance of convict
ing Kohler and the jury promptly re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
It was on the rather shoddy issues
thus raised that LaF'ollette CAM
pagined against the then governor
and defeated him for the nominal
ton. If he is elected in the fall,
therefore, Kohler will find it doubly
sweet to be again ensconced in the
governors mansion.
There is more than a possibility,
however, that Wisconsin may return
a Democratic governor and senator
in November. If the LaFollette forces
throw their influence to the Demo-
Gratis 1t will be a real race and one
which can be decided only by count
ing the votes.
