Nature makes the cures after all. " Now and then she gets into a tight place and needs helping out. Things get started in the wrong direction. Something is needed to check disease and start the system in the right direction toward health. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with hypo- phosphites can do just this. It strengthens the nerves, feeds famished tis- sues, and makes rich blood.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Peari St., New York 100 Best Novels Compiled. : Warrensburg, Mo., Feb.—The Warrensburg library has just put out a handsome little booklet entitled “‘A List of 100 of the Best Novels,”’ post- paid, 15 cents. Heretofore there was no list in ex- istence for the guidance of the un- initiated through the labyrinth of fic- tion to the story worth while, except the work of some one individual. It readily will be seen that such a list, to be broad, trustworthy and au- thoritative, should represent the com- bined effort of the best minds for the purpose of different countries. The compilation required months of time, as numberless letters were written, public libraries visited, and suggested books read. Among the most noted authors: who very generously gave sugges- tions and aid to the work were: Win- ston Churchill, William Dean How- ells, Mark Twain, William Allen White, Ralph Connor, Rudyard Kip- ling and James Lane Allen. Deering Claims Full Pay. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb.—State Auditor Gordon received.the monthly salary account of Evangelist Ben Deering, Assistant Factory Inspector of St. Louis, for the month of Janu- ary. It calls for $116.65, or a full month’s pay as Assistant Factory In- spector, and nothing is deducted for the time he spent in the Sixth Con- gressional District as a special cor- respondent for The Globe-Democrat and as a campaign orator for Phil Griffith, defeated Republican candi- date for Congress. Asked if the full amount would be allowed, State Auditor Gordon said: ‘I suppose so. There is no expense account attached to it. Mr. Deering was hit so hard as a result of the elec- tion that it would be cruel to chop a slice off his monthly salary as Assist- ant Factory Inspector of St. Louis.’’ J. L.

Bomar, who says he lives in Bates county, was arrested at Schell City Saturday even- ing and is now in the Vernon county jail. Bomar presenteda check to Judge R. T.

Washington, Feb.—The Washing- | ton Post in an editorial gave this view | of the Sixth Missouri District elec-| |tion, wuich it may be said is about | jthe conclusion reached here in polit- jical circles of both parties and all| factions. The editorial says: | “Although the signs of panic fol-| | lowed immediately upon the result of | | the election in the DeArmond district, | |it does not argue that the Republican \leadership took alarm at the news| |from Missouri alone. Mutterings of | ja gathering storm over a wide area | |had been coming to the ears of the! | party chiefs on Capitol Hill, but they | | were slow to believe that the reports | | were well founded, or, -rather, that} ‘the disaffection was deep seated. | | That the hostility toward the Payne | | tariff would disappear once the law "got into full operation was the confi- ident belief, and as to the agitation | over high prices, that naturally would /soon run its course and peter out. {Nothing afforded a real test of the | drift of public opinion until it was an- |nounced that the tariff pogo the lissue in the campaign to cloose a | successor to Judge DeArmond. The {Republican gladly accepted the chal- \lenge, and speakers of national re- | putation on both sides canvassed the district. Republicans felt hopeful of jovercoming the majority DeArmond |had in 1908, which they contend was largely due to his personal popular- ity. “Not in twenty years has the result ina single congressional district had | such an electrifying effect on old line | Republicans as the news of the over- jwhelming defeat of the Republican candidate. Ordinarily the convic- tions of voters in such a remote sec- | Washington, but the fact was recog- | nized that the people who had been listening toa DeArmond for a score of years were qualified to weigh and pass upon questions of national scope andimportance. Hence the perturba- tion that found expression in Senator Lodge’s resolution, framed to probe the high prices mystery, with the view to demonstrating that the tariff is not to blame. A drastic resolution introduced by Senator Elkins had been in committee an unusual length of time without being acted upon, but when Senator Lodge sounded the alarm prompt recognition was given |his proposition. Word also went other investigating committees to lay more stress on the tariff phase of the question. | “As the Post pointed out some days ago in commenting on the dely in re- porting the Elkins resolution back to \the Senate, the Republican party is courting disaster by adopting a shilly- |shally attitude. Perhaps it is not too late, in response to the mandate from Missouri to ‘show me,”’ to bring all the agencies of the national adminis- tration and the state organizations to bear on the situation and roll back the darkening clouds.” Took All His Money.

Constantinople---A City of Illu- sion. I suppose there is no more beauti- ful city from the outside and no more disheartening city from the inside than Constantinople. From the out- side it is all fairyland and enchant- ment. From the inside it is all grime and wretchedness. Viewed from the entrance of the Bosporus, through the haze of morning, it is a vision. Viewed from a_ carriage driven’ through the streets it becomes a nightmare. If one-only might see it as we did—at sunrise, with the} minarets and domes rising from the! foilage, all aglow with the magic of | morning—and could be willing then to sail away from that dream spec-| tacle, his hunger unsatisfied, he} would hold at least one supreme illu- | sion in his heart. | For that is what it is—just an illu- sion—the most superb fantasy in the world. Itisa perpetual show, but | hardly a pleasing one. It is besmirch. | ed and raucous, it is wretched. Hawkers, guides, beggars, porters | weave in and out and mingle vocifer- | sailed from every side. Across the street is a row of coffee houses where unholy music and singing keep up most of the time. Also, there are dogs, scores of them—a wolfish breed —and they are seldom silent. This is the reverse of the picture. As the outside is fairyland, so this is inferno. ‘morning from St. Louis. for following days forwarding.
