SILENT STRATEGY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Re

campaign has hurt Democratic

that ten-
ocracy’s leaders most deeply so
in the campaign is the studied
attempt to make the Davis can
didacy appear unimportant, even
inconseqUental . .
chief Republican emphasis is be
ing placed on the La Follette
candidacy. The psychology bacx
of this movement, of course is to
appear to place the Democratic
party in third position.
By doing this it is figured by
G 0. P. strategists, all good con
servative votes will be swept into
the Coolidge column, since the real
conservatives, whether Demo
cratic or Republican, are first and
foremost, anti-La Follette.
If the conservatives in both
parties can thus be rounded up
under the Coolidge banner, the
managers for “Canny Cal” fee’

double purpose
They will have elected their
candidate and simultaneouss’.y

September, however, will find the
Democrats in massed attack in an
effort to force some of the salients
in the Coolidge fortifications. One
of the first points of attack will be
the “Republican Campaign Text
Book.”

of more than 400 pages of fine

highly inflammable material.
Use Sheetrock, the fireproof wallboard.
Sheetrock is rock—pure gypsum cast in sheets
—not wood, pulp or paper. It can not burn,
ignite or transmit fire.
Won’t warp, either. Easily put up —it saws
and nails like lumber —you just nail the Sheet
rock to the joists or studding. Takes any deco
ration —wallpaper, paint, panels, or I extone.

Democrats, however, purpose to
make the Republican "Text Book”
the source lor Democratic texts
also. But the Democratic sermons
will dwell on what the book doei
not say, rather than on what it
does.
Nowhere in the book, for in
stance, is the name of Harry M.
Daugherty, late attorney general, to
be found. Yet the Demcrcats will
point out he was a big part of *he
administration for which effusive
credit is given Coolidge.
Neither is mention made of

A new Coolidge story has bobbed

Apropos of the president’s rather
sour visage, one of the younger and
less reverent members of the offici

“Coolidge was weaned on a pickle.”
By those who have had occasion
to test the rather acid quality of
the president’s sarcasm, this phrase
has been dubbed a stroke of genius.

Dr. Stanley Rinehart at last has
his revenge for being the husband of
a popular novelist. A life story,
prefacing a volume by him on “The
Common Sense of Health” says:
“He .began his medical practice
in Pittsburg, where in 1896 he
married a trained nurse, Mary
Roberts.”
In the bookshops, Mary Roberts
Rinehart heretofore has held the
spotlight, completely observing
friend husband. For this once, at
least, she is relegated to second
place, becoming simply “A Trained
Nurse, M<ary Roberts,” who be
came the wife of Dr. Stanley Rine
hart.

vres contained in the report that
the commissioners are asked to base
their annual health board appro
priation for next year.
Provision for financing t.re u<-
pertinent is contained in the tax
levy already decided upon by tne
commissioners, and to be formal :
ordered at their next meeting.
This work was undertaken last
January after the commissioners
had gone carefully into the subjec ,
and at the suggestion of the Rotary
club and other civic organizations.
In the beginning the activities of the
health department were directed
primarily toward the elimination of
malaria, and the extent to which
this has been accomplished already
is shown by letters from Dr. W. S.
Prather, Dr. Herschel A. Smith and
Dr. E. B. Anderson, accompanying
the report of the health board to
the commissioners.
Dr. Prather, in a letter address
ed to Dr. J. W. Chambliss, as a
member of the health board, as
serts that “Typhoid fever cases
are reduced to almost nothing;
malarial conditions have so improv
ed that I do not believe there is
twenty-five per cent of malaria .n
Americus, as there was five years
ago, and epidemic diseases have
been almost entirely controlled.”
Dr. Smith is equally emphatic in
his commendation of the work of
the health authorities saying “I
have treated fifty per cent less
■malaria cases this year than any
other since 1917. There isn’t any
question but that the City of Am
ericus is free of typhoid fever, due
to the fact that the people are tak
ing typhoid serum.” Dr. Anderson,
in his commendation of the work of
the department says that “it is my
opinion that malaria in Sumter
county has decreased at least fifty
per cent during the past year—dun
to the public health efforts.” In
addition to these statements, Dr.
Anderson calls attention to the
hearty endorsement given this work
by the Sumter County Medical So

the Australian Ballott system in the
