sent as a most able substitute,
Emerson Collins, Deputy Attorney
General,' from Willlamsport, a
rugged Republican who seldom

energy and loyalty of a Roosevelt,

marks.
Ashton D. Peace presided, and
after a short talk by Deputy Attor
ney General William M. Hargcst,
the Lycoming county veteran pro
ceeded to tell his inmost thoughts.
He handled President Wilson in a
peculiarly telling fashion, advising
the Republicans to keep on voting
to send Democratic men to Con
gress. with the obvious result that
the party would suffer. He described
Wilson as adjourning politics dur
ing the war for the object of get
ting some new policy, which at
present he still lacks. He gave an
eloquent tribute to the Republican
party for its conduct during the war.

the Democrats themselves.
The applause after this talk last

coming county veteran gave direct
tribute to Governor Sproul and to
the Senatorial candidate. Mr. Smith,
a "man of business caliber," there
was another cataclysm of enthusi
asm.
Charles E. Pass, prothonotary,
distinguished himself with an able
speech, in which he gave greatest
heed to the late Theodore Roosevelt,
whom he opposed In other days. As
for Wilson, he said: "He knows no
more than we do about his inten
tions," and Mr. Pass brought out a
burst of yells when he demanded
that America be informed of the
correct cost of the war; that she im
mediately get a settlement and that
she uses part of it to establish pen
sions for the men who fought and
won it. "Give us the money that's
coming to us." he demanded, "and
wait to tie us up in a League of
Nations."

Mothers!
An Appeal For Your Children
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother insisted on castor
oil, salts or cathartics.
How you hated them. How you fought them. Howj
you dreaded their after-effects.
That was all wrong, but then nobody knew better.
With our children it's different.
The day of harsh physics is over.
We don't force the bowels now; we coax them. >
We have no dreaded after-effects.
And the dose is a candy tablet.
Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simplyj
don't know what they do.
The children's revolt is well-founded.
Their tender bowels are harmed by them.
The modern way is to give a gentle laxative more
frequently. To keep the bowels always active.
The best method is Cascarets.
Cascarets are candy tablets.
Children love their pleasant taste.
They cost only 10 cents a lx>x, with full directions
for children's dosage at all ages. Babies too!
Give Cascarets, then don't worry—they never disappoint. 1
