Ihe Man Who Beat Mangus Johnson Curly-Headed Daughter of i Four, Will Lead Him When He Taices His Seat. MINNEAPOLIS,, Nov. 17. _ Thomas D. Schall’s four-year old daughter, Betty, will guide him ■ down the senate isle when he takes the oath of office in Washington. next March. , For the man who defeated Mag | nus Johnson, “dirt farmer” Pro gressive, for one of Minnesota’s seats in the upper house, is blind. | He has been blind 17 years. An , explosion of a cigar lighter cost I him his sight in 1907, three years I after he had hung out his law shin ! gle here. ■ But his misfortune did not cause | him to desert his law practice, nor i did it keep him from going to con gress once he decided he would. Sees With Heart Ever since his accident, his wife has been his “eyes.” But when the greatest honor of his career is con ferred upon him, Schall is going to let Betty share it with him. Often during his campaign speech has he told the story of her climbnig into his lap, rubbing her noso against his and saying: “Daddy, can’t you see me?” “No, little curly head, I can’t.” Then after a moment of silence, so he relates, she said: “Well, your heart sees me, doesn’t it, daddy?” And he assured her it did. One could almost hear a pin fall i whenever he told this story to the | voters. I Schall really is an orator. And ho I knows it. “I have exceptional ability of nublie speech,” he says. “I have a high dome in my mouth which acts as a sounding board and my jaw is hung on loosely so that it waggles easily. “But no erdeit is due me per- “But no credit is due me per sonally.

And he will see and hear and feel j things that are den.ed mere sight.” j Dressed for Audience Schall, with the help, of his wife' whom he calls his “better 99 per cent,” always knows how to make a hit with the different classes he has been called up s on to address. When speaking to a group of working men during his campaign, he would shed his coat, exhibiting a. pair of wide suspenders more I common even than Magnus John son always sports. If it was a lumberjack audience, he appeared in a fiery red shirt. He chewed tobacco when he thought the occasion demanded. His wife, after leading him onto the platform, would place a cuspidor where it would be handy for him, then touch, his cane to it, so he would knew just where to find it! CO!OS M DEVE! 0? INTO MMM Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsioji, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it south, and heals the inflamed membranes ;.nd kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by the medical fr. i. rniiy a the greateA healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds ami other forms yl throat and lung troubl -s. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, oilier healing elements ohieh soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes ami stop the irritation and in flammation, while tho creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and d stroys the germs that lead to consumption. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- ' tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung di- -a.-e-s, and is excellent for building up the s> i,m after colds or the flu.

When Schall first, lost his sight, his wife- said: “Well, Tom. we won’t have to sell lead pencils, t/e’re going to keep on practicing- law. “You can try a lawsuit without your eyes as well as with them, i People will trust a blind man if he I has the ability just as quickly as a n.an with sight.” And so Schall stuck to his prac tice. His wife would do his read ing and writing, and he would do the pleading. So, too, has it been with him during- the terms he served in con gress. Schall started out as a Democrat. ; In 1912, he became a Bull Mooser. In 1914, he ran for congress as a Progressive, and was elected over the candidates' of the old parties. Campaigned in Flivver Again'in 1916 he was successful as an Independent. In 1918, he ob tained the Republican nomination, but showed his independence by voting for Champ Clark as speaker of the House, when his vote the other way would have named a Re publican. In his last campaign, Schall rode around in his old flivver, with his wife at the wheel. It is the same old bus that used to carry him down to his office in Washington, when the family lived on the outskirts. The congressman and Mrs. Schall and their two boys, Tom, Jr., now 13, and Richard, 10, all wore overalls then. Frequently visitors' to his office would find his wife, attired in jump ers, dusting off his books. Purifies the Blood and makes the Cheeks Rosy O.&W Tonic 60c. • When the Cub} Isn’t Covering } ■ W.
