An invalid for about 15 years, so stricken with paralysis that it is bare- ly possible for him to move, Lieuten- ant Ambrose I. Moriarty insisted on Tuesday that he be allowed to exercise his right of franchise ana he was tak- en to the municipal building, his in- valid chair being placed in a light au- tomobile truck for the trip. Friends gladly assisted in carrying the chair in which he lay into_the polling place, where he directed the marking of his ballot, which, so far s presidential candidates is concerned, is understood to have been for Hugnes and a pro- test against President Wilson's foreign policy. Lieutenant Moriarty was formerly of the Ninth United States infantry. He was graduated from West Point in the class of 1887 and gave promise of having a brilliant career. While in the service he contracted rheumatism by sleeping on the ground and pa- ralysis developed. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Pupils Instructed —Systematic Pupils Vote. Practical Politics Stury of Spelling— A short time ago arrangments were made for the presentation of the plat- forms of the four political parties. Four seniors were selected and the speechies were given in order named: Miss Child the Socialist party; Percy Richardson, the Prohibition; Byron ‘Wilcox, Republican, and Miss Hazel Perry, the Democrat. They were given before the school at the morning exercises. The pur- pose of lheir talks was to prepare the pupils for the ballot which was taken {proved a puzzler for some voters in | Tuesda i’s election, as it seems prob- able will always be the case. A small percentage of the voters, as usual, succeeded .in disenfranchising them- selves. o POLICE DOG ESCAPES Shipped From Milwaukee to H. I. Baer, Animal Gets Away from Ex- press Office. Tearing his way out of a wooden crate in which he had been shipped here from Milwaukee, clamping his powerful teeth into the sash of a win- dow and raising it and finally push- ing out a screen, a police dog escaped from the Adams Express office here. The dog, valued at $200, had not been located up to Tuesday night. The dog made his escape while the office was locked and unattended. Not much more than two-thirds grown, the animal had been shipped from the west to Henri 1. Baer of the Palisade kennels at East Killingly, but had not been delivered. The window that the dog forced up is a Dbig one, but is weighted so that it slides quite easily. It is significant that the dog did not attempt to break out the glass but gave an exhibition of the remarkable intelligence of the German shepherd breed by resorting to the devices of man in opening the window. All effort to trace the dog has failed, though every effort to find out what became of it has been made by Mr. Baer. REPUBLICANS MADE CLEAN SWEEP IN KILLINGLY. Substantial Pluralities, Though Not as $65 WAUREGAN BLOCK Great as Four Years Ago. The republicaris of Killingly made a clean sweep of all places on the ticket in Tuesday's election, winning, how- ever, by a somewhat reduced plurality over figures for past years. Hughes received 706 votes against 564 for Wil- son. The republican party here gave Governor Holcomb a boost for re- election, registering 726 against 546 for Beardsley. For United States senator, McLean was given 719 against 649 for Cummings. Freeman for congress got 722 votes against 547 for Dunn of Williman- tic. For state senator, 28th district, Killingly piled up the banner majority | for Archibald Macdonald, 718 against 48 for John O. Fox. The mxgflnw ere of 170 for Macdonald pra Y insured his election. For judge of probate, Sabin 8, Rus- gell was re-elected and led the repub- ican ticket with 732 against 53% for ohn W. Gallup. The republicans elected Harry E. Back, 704, and Wil- liam P.

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 7.— The first two_years of the .European ‘war cost the Duteh T 17 - 000, according to fl‘umms‘t s'wm by the Ministry ce. amount includes thie sum of $8,200,000 already raised by special war taxation. Deficits on the normal budgets con: stituted a further charge of $21,800,- 000. If things continue as at present the nationa Idebt will have increased by $280,000,000 by the end of 1917, or by about half the entire flgure at which it stood before the war. The two war loans so far issued amounted together to $160,000,000, the whole of which sum has long since disappeared. Another loan is already under discus- sion, but the tax on war profits and special defense taxes or war levies will also in due course be a source of muci strength, being estimated to bring in at least $60,000,000 and probably cal- culated to yield much more. To put the figures in another way, the war crisis, with the retentiom of an army of over a quarter ofsa million on a war footing, has so far cost Holland nearly $8,000,000 a month. An expert economist estimates fhat the further far-reaching measures which the gov- ernment proposes to take to ensure an adequate food supply for the peo- ple at moderate prices will raise the present food expenditure to $40,000,000 a year. If that proves to be the case, and assuming that the mobilized army is kept up to its present strength, war crisis expenditure in coming months will rise to $10,000,000 monthly.

Keeps Her Children ; In Perfect Health Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin the Family Laxative for Many Years Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, IIl, recently wrote to Dr. Caldwell, at Monticello, Tll, that she has used Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin in her home for a number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in per- fect health. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend- able laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste and children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults. . 2 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a_bottle. To avoid imitations and ineffective substitutes’ be sure you get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See S Lage \ . that a facsimile of Dr. Caldweil’s sig- nature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge. can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 466 Washington St., | Monticello, Illinois.
