Severe Lung Trouble1

Somehow there exists a vast amount of scepticism as to the possibility of curing Consumption. We state none but tacts, and are sincere in what we assert. I If we were afflicted with Tuberculosis, we should do precisely what we ask others to do take Kckman's Alter- i ative promptly and faithfully. The reason we should do this and warrant we have for asking all Consumptives to take it. is that we have the reports of many recoveries, one of which follows: . i 1S19 Susquehanna Ave.. Phila..

Our family physician advised iinother climate, as to remain would probably be fatal. However. I remained. and in February of 1 00 2. 1 was tak- ' en with a severe attack of pneumonia. When I recovered sufficiently to walk about trie house I was left with a frightful hacking cough, which

no medicine I had taken could alleviate. It was at tills time. March 1902. that I learned of and started taking Kckman's Alterative. In a short time my rough was gone and I was pronounced well. Since that time I have had two slight attacks of pneumonia and I have resorted to no other medicine to effect a recovery. "I am at present in excellent health and feel that as long as I can obtain Kckman's Alterative. 1 have no fear of i 'nnsnniption. f cannot speak too highi for the good it has done."

If LOSS OF VOTERS

AT NOVEMBER

ELECTION

TITES' Bl'RKAlT AT THE STATE OAP1TAU Indianapolis, Ind., Spt. 13. It la estimated by the various state headquarters of the political parties that

up to this time probably 70 to 75 per cent of the voters of Indiana have registered and are therefore eligible to vote at the November f lection. This laves from twenty-five to thirty per cent yet to be registered, and it is regarded as doubtful whether many more of them will register. Which party will be the loser In this failure of such a large number to register is still a question that cannot be solved until after the polls have been taken by the various parties and the figures have been compiled. However, it Is said that in most places the loss up to this time Is about evenly divided.

j position of the farmer in regard to tha j political situation The bull moose j maintained a tent at the state fair I from which they distributed pamphlets j and other campaign literature. A num. : ber of bull moose were at work around

the tent and grounds. One of these men tackled the farmer in question, who was from Johnson county, and urged him to support Roosevolt and to vote against President Taft in order to bring about better conditions. "Now, look Jiere," said The farmer, in reply. "I have a big barn on my

farm and it Is full of hay, from the

bull moose. It is a fact that in this city the loss is about equal. In the heavy democratic wards, populated largely by voters of foreign birth, there is a large shortage In the democratic registration, while !n heavy republican wards, some of which are populated largely with negroes, the republican loss la large. It is believed, however, that a large per cent of the colored voters will register at the October registration date, and that the republicans will therefore not suffer as great a shortage as Is now indicated. On the other hand, there is a stubborn opposition among the foreign voters to registration, and this will mean a heavy loss to the democrats at the election unless

they are able to overcome It, which at this time seema to be Improbable. The taking of the poll over the state has developed some humorous Incidents. For Instance, the bull moose have been spreading the story that their poll of Crawford county, In the south end of the state, shows 900 republicans that are going to vote for Roosevelt. The fact Is that Craw-ford is a small county and that there have never b&en mi"re than 700 republican votes cast In the county. Just how the bull moose expect to get 900 of the 700 to vote their ticket is a serious problem that would require a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out. The disaffection mong the republican farmers also has been largely magnified and exaggerated, according to reports that are coming In. It i evident that the number of republican

Uoverldge, bull moose candidate for governor, started on Bis campaign trip over the state yesterday with a meeting at Winchester, Randolph county, has been touted as a hotbed of bull mooselsm, and yet Beverldge had only 300 to 400 people at his meeting. Reports say that the bull moosers were sorely disappointed at the small attendance. Monday night Poverldge spoke at Portland. The rest of his Itinerary for this week is as follows. Today Kokomo, night; Wednesday Winamac, afternoon; Knox, night; Thursday Plymouth, afternoon; Warsaw night; Friday Rochester, afternoon; Huntington, night; Saturday Tipton, afternoon; Logansport, night. Governor Johnson of California, the bull moose candidate for vice president, will spend three days in a speaking trip through Indiana. lie will hold his first meeting at Terre Haute on the night of Sept. 18. The next morning he will go from Terre Haute to Evansville, by special train, speaking at Slllvan, Vlncinnes and Princeton. He will speak at a noon meeting at Evansville. In the afternoon he will speak at Oakland Sity, Washington, Mitchell, Bedford. Bloomington and Martinsville, and at Indianapolis at night. The next day he will go to Noblesville, Tipton.
