MONDAY, DECEMBER 4
Since the collapse of the Franklin
syndicate, a number of concerns that
were organized on similar lines have
considered, it expedient to go out of
business. This is one blessing for
which a great many people have rea
son to be thankful.
An UNUSUAiiiiY large proportion
of the members of Ohio's new Gen
eral Assembly will be lawyers. "With
such an array of talent in control of
the law-making function,there ought
lo be no unconstitutional legislation
this time.
If zt's notlese majesty, theDEMO
Cbat suggests that a new depart
ment be added to the public service.
Xet the government send out bulle
tins announcing the daily changes in
the official titles of Colonel Dick.
On and after tomorrow don't forget
that it -will be Major General Dick.
Just to be in fashion, Cuyahoga
county's Republican delegation to
the Legislature is hopelessly divided
because of Senator Hanna's attempt
to dictate how the delegation shall
organize. Cuyahoga county will cut
about as much figure in the Legisla
lature as it does in political conven
tions. The Jackson Day Banquet that
is being planned by the Akron Dem
ocratic Club for the evening of Jan
uary 8, will be well worth attending.
Local Democrats should attend the
meeting at City Hall next "Wednes
day night, when the preliminary ar
Tangements for the banquet will bg
reported.
Editor Eaynolds of the Sunday
"World weeps with Adjutant General
Axline because ho did not get the
nomination for Major General of the
Ohio National Guard, and at the
same time rejoices with Col. Dick
because ha got it at Axline's ex
pense. Here is non-partisanism with
a double head.
It is announced that Ex-Marshal
Haskill of Ashtabula thinks he has
such a cinch upon the appointment
as U. S. District Marshal thathehas
already chosen his deputies, W. E.
Cook of Ashtabula and Robert Hi
lands of Cuyahoga county. As there
is no record of Mr. Haskill's having
sent anything to Col. Dick, not even
a pony, his friends are wondering
upon what particular pull he hangs
his confidence.
v The Democrat is informed that
Capt. Aaron "Wagoner of Akron will
be the new chairman of the Board of
"Control, Ohio Penitentiary. Ths is
one' of the most influential and
responsible positions of public trust
whichit is the privilege of Governor
elect Nash 'to confer upon his friends.
The appointment of Capt. Aaron
Wagoner wouid be a guaranty to the
-people of Ohio that the chairman
ship is incompetent and trustworthy
hands.
If Judge NAsh and the National
Administration continue the great
and good work of promising jobs to
Summit county's deserving Repub
licans, the Democrats ought to have
things pretty much their own way,
especially after the promises are all
redeemed and the three hundred or
more favored ones go away to take
their offices. And in the trip-hammer
language of the Beacon, who
but "a small, narrow-minded and
jaundiced individual" would even
BUggest that all of the promises will
not "be redeemed?

FOR WELL PEOPLE.
An Easy Way io Keep Well.
It is easy to keep well if we would
only observe each day a few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow a
set rule or bill of fare. Such pamper
ing simply makes a capricious appe
tite and a feeling that certain favor
ite articles of food must be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject, he says: "I
am OS years old and have never had
a serious illness, and at the same
time my life has been largely an in
door one, but I early discovered that
the way to keep healthy was to keep
a healthy stomach, not by eating
Dran crackers or dieting of any sort;
on the contrary I always eat what my
appetite craves, but for the past
eight years I have made it a daily
practice to take one or two of Stu
arfs Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal andl attribute my robust health
for a man of my age to the regular
daily use of Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to
use them because he said they were
perfectly harmless and were not a
secret patent medicine,but contained
only the natural digestives, peptones
and diastase, and after using them a
few weeks I have never ceased to
thank him for his advice.
I honestly believe the habit of
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals is the real health habit,
because their use brings health to the
sick and ailing and preserves health
to the well and strong.
Men and women past fifty years of
age need a safe digestive after meals
to insure a perfect digestion and to
ward off disease, and the Bafest. best
known and most widely used is Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are lound in every well regu
lated household from Maine to Cali
fornia and in Great Britain and Aus
tralia are rapidly pushing their way
into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, full sized pkcrs. at 50c
and for a weak stomach a fifty cent
package will often do fifty dollars
worth of good.

Some of the similes used by oriental
advertisers are as remarkable for hu
mor and naivete as even those of the
immortal Sam Weller. Here are one

the rival steamship companies."
"Silks and satins smooth as a lady's
