Suggests Location For a Swimming Pool.

Editor Republican: Why would not a location near the porwter planit, back of one of the sdhool houses, be the best place for the swimming pool ? Unless properly built and managed a pool would be only a menace to'health, and a shower ibath Should be insisted upon 'before a bather enters tihe pool. Space might be found in the school building for showers and dressing rooms, etc. These buildings lie idle all summer. They could bo opened and used in connection with tihe pool. .Located near the plant, the .pool would be constantly under the eye of the superintendent, who could see that it was properly filled. This location is central, shaded and ideal in every way.—For tihe Pool.

ASSAILS U. S. TIMIDTY IN NOTE SERIES

Hughes Declares Alien Intriques On American Soil Must Be Stamped Out—Urges Preparedness.

New York, July 31. —Charles E. Hughes tonight outlined in his speech of acceptance the issues upon which he will conduct his campaign for the presidency. Mt. Hughes assailed the administration for the course it has pursued with reference to Mexico, maintenance of American rights during the European war, preparedness and other ,great question® of the day. He declared for a new policy of “firmness and consistency” toward Mexico, for “the unflinching maintenance of all American rights on land and sea,” and for “adequate national defense; adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts.” “We denounce all plots and conspiracies in the interest of any foreign nation,” Mr. Hughes said. “Utterly intolerable is the use of our soil for alien intrigues. Every American must undeservedly condemn them end support every effoilt for their suppression.” The nominee assailed the administration for its “direction of diplomatic intercourse” from the beginning, declaring that where there should have been conspicuous strength and expertness, there has been weakness, inexpertness and “leisurely discussion.” He cited San Domingo as an example where appointments had gone to “deserving democrats,” and to the failure to continue Ambassador Henick at his post in Paris after the war had jstaiited as a “lamentable sacrifice of international repute.”

Funeral of J. H. Perkins Was Largely Attended.

Couldn’t Get Along Without the Paper.

The Ropblioan, Dear Sir: Enclosed find check for my paper. We could not got along without the home paper, as we will always have a warm spot for dear old Rensselaer.. We are both enjoying good health. It’s very hot Here at present. We just experienced a big hail storm a few days ago, the hail being as ibig as a turkey egg, and broke our west window out and killed lots of chickens. It also destroyed most all of the gardens and small grain out here. On tihe dry land there is not much grain raised, 'but down around Newell everything is very promising. With best regards to all our Jasper county friend's, I am, as ever,

President.

WEATHER Fair tonight and Wednesday; cooler tonight in southwest portion.

It’s too much to try to work every day against a constant, dull backache, or sudden darting pains in the small of the 'back. Be rid of it. Try Doan’s Kidney Pills. Your neighbors recommend them. iMirs. C. Morlan, Harrison & Jefferson Sits., Rensselaer, says: “I had a heavy, nagging adhe in my back 'both day and night. I would get only snatches of sleep and could find no position where I would be free from that pain. I got up feeling so tired and worn-out that my work was almost impossible. Every time I leaned over or sat down or 'got up from a chair, a sharp pain shot through my back, so that I nearly cried out. I felt nervous and unstrung. My head ached and I was often so dizzy that I came near falling. Spots of color seemed to come before my eyes and my kidneys acted too often. The kidney secretions caused annoyance. I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they gave me wonderful relief from all these symptoms.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get (Doan/’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Morlan had. Foster-Milium Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

BERMUDA HIGH IS ABOUT DONE FOR

Canadian Air Invasion Brings Relief to Northern States—Worst Heat Wave In Fifteen Years. Washington, July 31.—A Canadian high pressure area, bringing down cool dry air from the Canadian northwest, swept along the whole of northern United States today and afforded some lelief from the hedt wave, which has been the worst in fifteen years. Roughly, the new high pressure area brought a drop in temperature everywhere north of a line due west from New York. Below this line its effects were felt in some districts with a change of a few degrees. The “Bermuda high,” which for the past ten days has been sweeping up currents of hot, water-laden air from the tropics over the whole of continental United States, showed signs today of having pretty well spent itself.' •
