Tooth Talk Truthfully Told Scores of people innumerable, neglect what are confessed ,to be a vital necessity to health, happiness and long life, viz., their teeth. Poor teeth as well as a lack of teeth cannot masticate food properly, hence poor health which frequently results from this cause. Your immediate action makes provision for both teeth and health. One assurance that my operations cause continuous satisfaction —patients enjoy to recall and tell their neighbors about the easy time in the dentist's chair at my office. It will please me to meet you at once. DR. J. W. HORTON

It is reported by those from here in attendance at Fountain Park Friday that Gov. Hanly made a labored republican address—labored in the fact that he nad a tough subject to deal with considering the policies of his party’s machine and the policies which he claims to stand for. He plead for the county unit local option, but it is said never mentioned Watson’s name during his entire talk. In view of the fact that Hanly wrote personal letters to temperance delegates to the republican state convention and urged them by all means to vote against Watson for governor because all the saloon-keepers and brewery influence in Marion county was doing everything in its power to secure Watson’s nomination, J. Frank could not very w f ell have much to say in Watson’s favor at this time.

WHAT A PROHIBITION VOTER THINKS.

McCoysburg, Ind., Aug. 24. Editor Jasper County Democrot: Dear Sir: While I am not a democrat I wish to express my hearty appreciation of the fair treatment you have accorded the Prohibitionists in the editorial policy of The Democrat since I have been a subscriber. 1 wish also to express my appreciation of the frankness of your candidate for governor, Mr. Marshall, in stating so clearly his position. and the position of the democratic party relative to the liquor question that is now agitating the state and nation. While we differ politically, there is much satisfaction ' in that strange joy that warriors teel in foemen worthy of their steel. ’ ’ Mr. Marshall says: “If there is a member of my party who believes that the liquor business snould be abolished entirely he should not vote for me, he can conscientiously do nothing but support the prohibition ticket, the only party which is committed to such a policy.” Now that is a frank and manly statement that brings the issue squarely and fairly before the people. Everybody now knows just where each party stands in relation to the issue, and each may take his choice. As I am one of those who believe that the liquor business should be entirely abolished I “can do nothing but support the Prohibition ticket." as Mr. Marshall advises. This is exactly the point we have been contending for all this time.

Now if this is true of democrats it is equally true of republicans, notwithstanding all this nonsense about a temperance man who votes an old party ticket being “Just as good a Prohibitionist as we are.” Now that the lines have been drawn fairly between the democrats and the Prohibitionists, I dare the republicans to be as frank as the democrats have been and say: “If there is any member of the Republican party in Indiana who believes that the liquor business should be abolished entirely he should not vote the Republican ticket; he can conscientiously do nothing but support the Prohibition ticket, the only party which is committed to such a policy.” The democrats did not make a bid for Prohibition votes when Mr. Marshall made that statement and they surely did not expect their support, but on the other hand I want to promise The Democrat that the republican party will not receive a single Prohibition vote this fall, for two reasons: Ist. I do not believe that any man who has had the judgment, conscience and backbone to stand by the Prohibition party in former campaigns can be fooled by any such preposterous claims as the republicans are putting up on this question. 2nd. I claim that, should any such event happen, the man who is thus fooled has severel his ties with the Prohibition party, and has become a republican and must share the responsibility of all the evils that befall this state and nation as a result of their rule.

One other {joint: I notice that you have had much to say about the Anti Saloon League entering the political field and taking sides with the republicans. Yes, we Prohibitionists have noticed that peculiarity for years—that whenever they entered politics it was most generally to endorse a republican, but sometimes a democrat and practically never a Prohibitionist. E. S. Shumaker, the State superintendent of the Anti Saloon League, told the writer some time ago that he was a voting Prohibitionist. Now, for fear he has made that statement elsewhere and that it will lead some honest but misguided temperance advocate into supporting the policy be advocates, I would like to relieve the Prohibition party of the stigma thus thrown upon them by c»»nly declaring that he has not the support of a single prohibitionist in the course he has taken. We all count it a political scheme to lapd the votes for the republicans. Again thanking you for your frankness and asking that, despite our differences in political views, we may at least be honest with each other aB to these principles, I am Yours for better government,

We are enjoying a fine business. We get it on the square. Its no dodge. We treat the people rightHome Grocery. An arm load of old papers for a nickel at the Democrat office.

LOVER OF LIVE STOCK

He Can Find the “Real Thing” at the Kankakee District Fair. The “butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker” can all find entertainment at the Kankakee District Fair, but the solid enjoyment i 3 to the lover of fine stock, because by attending the fair he sees the best breeds to be found anywhere and gets ideas for the improvement of his own herds that as the months and years go by reward him by the sound of dollars jingling in his pockets. Especially is this true of one who takes pride in raising fine cattle, for the cattle exhibit of herds and individuals at the Kankakee District Fair is excelled by no other department. Last year people who attended the Kankakee District Fair and later attended the Illinois State Fair at Springfield stated that while the State Fair had perhaps a few more exhibits in this department than the Kankakee District Fair, the advantage was merely in quantity and not in quality. Already the entries are pouring in at the office of Secretary Len Small, and with increased premiums it is likely that the cattle exhibit of 1908 will excel even that of 1907. ( The dates of the Kankakee District Fair are Sept. 7 to 11 inclusive. five days and four evenings of solid and unremitting entertainment.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS

THOSE MADE ON KANKAKEE DISTRICT FAIR GROUNDS—ROOM FOR ALL EXHIBITS. Wonderful improvements havp been made on the grounds of the Kankakee District Fair. Among them are five new exhibition stock each one 120x34 feet. Also a number of new sheep and hog barns and enclosures. This will relieve the crowded condition that prevailed last year because of the great rush of exhibits attracted by the immense premiums offered at the fair and will be ample to accommodate all exhibits that will come this year no matter how numerous they may be. Another improvement is the extension of water mains to every section of the ground. This will be appreciated by those who exhibit stock at the Kankakee District Fair. Another improvement is the building of a new amphitheater from which the exhibition stock can be viewed. The fine race track of the Kankakee District Fair has als© been improved this year, making it one of the best in the country and it is anticipated that even faster time than has prevailed heretofore on this very fast track will be made.

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Gold A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Ind., writes: “Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfaced with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor’s prescription did not reach my case, and 1 took several medicines which seemed .only to aggravate It Fortunately I Insisted upon having Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same success." A. F. LONG.
