PAGE SIX 0.0. P. EXPECTS MM BUT IDT PIPTY VICTORY Just Why Coolidge Is Running Ahead cf Party, They Can’t Explain BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Wriler WASHINGTON, Oct, 15.—With the campaign entering the home stretch, administration leaders pro fess to be more than ever confident Cal Coolidge will come under tin? wire an easy winner. But while they claim Cal is safe ly out in front of La Follette and Davis, where he isn’t even troubled by their dust, the going for Repub lican congressional, senatorial ar. 1 state entries is admittedly no' so good. Just why it is, they admit they do not know, but they confess Coolidge is running away ahead of his party. In confidence, they forecast a Cool idge rather than a Republican vic tory. For the election of a presi dent, but the loss..of both houses of Congress, can hardly be heralded as a great party victory,' It woui 1 be a personal victory for Cooldidge not a~tsiumpb for the G. O. P. Yet that is exactly what even the most optismistie Republican leader dxpect. Just what the elements of pops lation are in Coolidge’s makeup that have brought about this situa tion the old-time politicians cai-'t figure out. All the old bag of- ticks has gone into the discard. Th y don’t fit Cal at all. These old-timers are loath to ad mit that perhaps it is Coolidge'.- very indifference that gives hin. his strength, yet a lot of them are be ginning to get that “hunch” and to ponder it very Seriously. It isn't for them, a particularly appealing matter for meditation, but they ad mit it appeals an inescapable fi.ct. ♦ * * Anyway,^.something appears to them to be wrong When a seemingly negligible personality catches the public fancy and in the most passive sort of campaign has all the old party regulars for Congress and Se nate hanging onto his coat tails. There’-is-'-not-a single* state from which the reports show the local tickets adding strength to. the Cooli dge cause. Instead, state after stair reports Coolidge far out in front, and voices the hope that his majori ty may ,he. sufficient to pull across state and congressional candidates HARE THE COUCH OR COLD . ‘THAT HANGS ON Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them -now with Creonuilsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. n Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes I and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. OF all known drugs, creosote is rec ognteed by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and othec-forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and stop the irritation and in- i flammation, while the creosote -goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat el the trouble and/destroys the germs that lead to 1 consumption. CtWmulsion is guaranteed satisfac- ■ tory.jn the treatment of chronic coughs | and colds, bronchial asthma, I catarrhal I bronchitis and other forms of throat ! and lung diseases, and is excellent for i building up the system after colds or the flu Money refunded if any cough or c4sd, no matter of how lons stand ing, as not relieved after t king a< ■ ord mg to directions.

With the solid south for a takeoff, Al Smith doing his stuff for Davis in New York and La Follette under cuttting the Republican strent.'h in i the middle west, Democrats decline | to accent the dictum that they wiil ; not be able to roll up the necessary I 2GG electoral votes. They eve i d.- eline to consider suggestions that their real hope lie:' in a deadlocked election, although that appe irs their r.a’.vation to most unbiased observ ers. t. And the La Follette—well, with “Fighting Bob” just taking the stump himself, on a’tour that wiil' carry him to the Pacific coats, they insist that all-dope- to.date is ptmna-: Tire, that the real Progressive drfv lo bring Bob under the wire a win ner is just beginning. “Not •>. deadlock, but a vic'oiy" ,s the La Follette cry, Phi one tiling on which agreement s genital, however, is that bloc control will continue in the Sixty ninth Congress. Ti'.is probability is giving the Coo lidge leaders most concern. For without a decisive majority in either ■house it will be impossible for the president, if re-elected, to put into effect administra! rat ive policies re quiring .congr 'ssional election. On the other hand, such a situa tion will make doubly effective the administration veto, enabling Coo lidge to p/event any legislative ac complishment by the bloc system, until 1927 at the earliest.

PEKING, Oct. 13.—1 n the nar row, crooked street that borders Lung Fe Ssu, the curio bazaar lived one Chuang Erh, dealer in dogs. His friend and partner was Hsu Ta stealtr of dogs, Hsu would hupt the alley for stray Pek’hese pups he would take to Chuang’s stall to be sold. The t’-'.’o divided the proceeds. One bright autumn morning luck smiled on H u and h<' found a beau tiful Pekinese poodle that easily brought $6 in Chuang’s establish ment. But when Hsu demanded his share Chuang refused to pay . a cent. Hsu, agrieved, 'determined to avenge the wrong. What could he do? How could lie make Chuang suffer? He would commit suicide! His blood would stain Chuang’s door step, and his spirit forever woulJ haunt Chuang’s dwelling. Hsu obtained a pair of scissors, went to Chuang’s home and drove the sharp point into his abdomen. Just then Chuang Erb appeared. He was much frightened. Who wants an evil spirit always in his fcotsfhps? He promised amends. He picked up Hsu and ran to rhe White man’s hospital. At least Hsu would not die on the Chuang front step. But Hsu will live, $3 has changed hands, and the two are friends again. Living Is always worth twice what it costs. Frei? Ti; ’ C.f. ci .

Pinkston The New York Journal of Com merce in a recent edition lays stress on the fact that the manufactures cf women’s wearing apparel, and shoes,and even men’s garments tire . undergoing a great deal of trouble in estimating their output of certain designs and styles. , It is stated that the fastidiousness of women (and in the past ye ir a certain per centage of the men are becoming just as fastidious) make it impossible for any one style or | design to predominate for any l length of time. A pair of shoes or I a dress worn by a celebrity on the . streets of Paris or at- fashtnonable Douville will throw a lot of dresses, into the discard to be sold at ;v sac rifice. The manufacturers are not the | only ones who suffer by these sud den changes. The clothier on Broadway and the clothier in the smaller towns all feel these thinks because they often overestimate their wants and a change in ‘-tyle will find them overstocked with shoes and dresses that three months previous wer<? the rage with the feminie sex. In a talk with J. A. Pinkston, manager of the Pinkston’s store’ we find that he is one of the many retail merchants who are having their hands full trying to guess what the woman will wear. As an example of how the styles are jhnr.g ing we quote Mr. Pinkston. “Six months ago the predominat ing styles in women’s shoes were colored shoes with many strips, with perforattions on the toes. Black satins were no doubt the big gest sellers a year ago. The shoes shown this fall are brown calf, black suede, patten leathers bo;’i -n straps and pump designs. The father or husband come - in also for his share of the worry nd expense for it means that daughter and mother must be wpll shod in the latest style. “If the styles keep changing as f - ~~ ~'Z. —-4-.2? ■ k ' ■ v-; ■? / r , -> . / l!fF / j/ *t // / ’ Z/ V/2J ' /ff /// - 1 Running away with it!

So great has become the menace to crops that there has been suppli cation to the rain gods, ussed only in the greatest emergency, and re sorted to only twice in the last 70 years. This is the “opening of the ■acred well” in the precincts of the famous Oira shrine, near Osaka. Seven men are chosen by lot from among the people of the village in which the shrine is located. These offer prayers for a week, living apart in the shrine precincts, and I purifying themselves by daily rites lot absolution. Then a fenc -of i dry grass is built around the sacred well and the opening begins. The well is buried deep in the earth. Before its stone cover can be reached three boxes, each contain ing a prayer in ancinent Sanskrit, relics of the early days of Buddh ism in Japan, have to be unearthed. When the stone cover of the well is removed, according to ‘he belief, an inexhaustible flood of cold water gushes over the brim, the sky be comes overcast and rain falls heavily How efficacious the nrayers have been in this instance is not yet known. Only twice within th.e memory of V x it ■ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15. f 924 man has this ceremony been carried out, in 1884 and again in 1011, On the latter occasion, the farmers say, heavy rain began to fall while pray ers were still being offered up.

The women’s total is 108,000 as against 83,000 in 1922. The net loss to the coun try bye excess of emigration -over immigration ws 208,695. EVERY STREET , ,IN AMERICUS Has Its Share of the Proof That Kidney Sufferers Seek Backache? Kidneys weak? Distressed with urinary ills? Want a reliable kidney remedy? Don’t have to look far. Use what Americus people recommend. Ev ery street in Americus has its casss. Here's one Americus man’s expe rience. l et J. E. Oliver, prop, auto paint shop, 303 Cotton Ave., tell it. He says: “The turpentine fumes weak ened my kidneys and caused lame back. If I stooped, severe pains caught me in the small of my back and I could hardly move. The kid ney secretions passed often and I had dizzy spells. I bought Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Carswell Drug Co., and they relieved me of the complaint.” Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Oliver had. Fost.er-Mil ' I burn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
