WHY DR. WILEY IS FOR WILSON He Says Taft and T. R. Are Sol diers of Fraud. ENEMIES OF PURE FOOD LAW Famous Chemist Believe* th? Health of. the Nation Demands Election of the D?mocratie Ticket. ( By HARVEY W. WILEY. .(Former Chief Chemist of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture.) My appeal 1B chiefly to those who, Uk? iuysolf, have been lifelong Repub licans. I believe that no kind of an administration ls going to ruin the country. I have a high personal re gard for each one of the candidates for president and vico-presldeeut on all the tickets. All the political platforms ?re mainly sound and all promise ef fort In behalf of tho whole people. My cholee is not based on a platform. It wa? determined by my Impressions of the real attitude of the candidates re specting the public welfare. We are creatures of heredity and environ ment. In our attitude towards great ibllo Questions we are almost alto k thor creatures of environment. What two men are by environment l?\pt likely to be swayed by special lutfcx-f?ta and mest likely to be guided by devotion to public welfare? Two Of the candidatos hove already been tried In the presidential ohalr and we know by experience what may be ea pected If either of them resume bbl former seat on March 4, 1913. Mr. Roosevelt by reason of bis attltudo to wards the food and drug act aban doned the consumers of the country to the rapacity of a few mercenary manufacturers. Under authority Of conara BS I had carried on extensive) experimenta with my so-called poison squad and found that certain sub stances, via., beniolc compounds, oul , pharous compounds and sulphate of copper (blue stone), were Injurious to health. The law conferred upon me, aa chief of th? bureau of chemistry, the duty of acting as a grand Jury and deter mining whether foods and drugs were adulterated or misbranded. Instead of appealing from my decisions to the t oui tn an the law requires, tho users of these poisons appealed to President Roosevelt. He not uni? livened tv thom, out lie pbrotfnted the plato pro? Yisl< ns of tho law, appointed a board not contemplated by the law, and di rected that these predatory interests might continuo their attacks on tho health of tho people until this board, unknown to the law, should decido j otherwise. Can we safely trust tho campaign for public health to Mr. Roosevelt? I cannot bollevo that to be the proper course. Mr. Taft Inherited this ex ceedingly bad condition of affairs from his predecessor and has not only continued this Illegal board un der whoso patronage adulterators aro still poisoning tho people, but ho did worse. In tho matter of tho adultera tion of distilled boverngns In which Roosevelt upheld tho logally consti tuted authorities, Mr. Taft rovorsed that policy and threw the mighty .weight of the executive office to the support of the worst lot of adultera tors that ever disgraced a country. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by their strenuous efforts in behalf of the food laws of their respective states, have given a positive promise to end such a threatening state of affairs. They will support to tho utmost the officials under the law who are trying to protect tho public health and will make short shrift of thoso who have brought about these present unbeara ble conditions. Wilson and Marshall by their educa tion and environment are free from blas In favor of predatory interests and are Inspired by true pntrlotic zeal In behalf of public welfare. I support tho Democratic nominees In full knowledge that many of the prominent Democrats In congress havo been In full sympathy with tho paraly sis of tho food law In behalf of the unholy dollar. But when tho Demo cratic prosldent and vice-president lend tho aid of their powerful sympa thy In behalf of the public health those of their own party not in sym pathy with them will he robbed of tholr power for evil. If Roosovelt or Taft be chosen tho soldiers of fraud and adulteration will bo Impregnably entrenched for another four years and benzoates, sulphites and adulterated alcoholic bovorldgos will have a new lease of lifo. I believe also that President Wilson will renovate 'ho department of agri culture, reek! ns lt has boen for the psst twelve years, with scandals and favoritism. Ho will see to lt that the bureau of animal Industry will protect tho public health Instead of the efforts of the packers to sell dis eased meats under tho decoptlve phrase "U. S. Inspected and Passed." Under President Wilson no moro Pin ch?te will bo kicked out of the servloo, no more unspeakable McCabeo will ex ercise dictatorial powers. Thero will be no moro cotton leaks and Jungle atrocities, no more Everglade swin dlofl. Buccaneering, boasting and buncombe will give place to sane ef forts for tho promotion of real agri culture and tho public health. Under Wilson the department of agriculture will be restonffi tt speak lng terms with the State Agricultural j Colleges and Experiment Stations, and tho State officials will no longer bo regarded as Inferior bolngs, living only on the lnrgoss of a Washington cabal. I ask all who want honesty and faith ful sorvice in tho Department of Agri culture, the promotion of public health, and executives who havo grown to mnnbood and lived in an en vironment favorable to that which makes for tho public welfare, to vote < for Wilson and Marshall. TAXING POOR MAN'S COAT OFF HIS BACK Conorete Illustration of What a Re publican Tariff Really Means Causes Workers to Think. Concreto examples of how a pro tective tariff operates aro causing tho working man, tho "poor man," to do a lot of thinking nowadays. He ls be ginning to understand whether lt IB not about time to call a halt on the Republlcnn practice of taxing tho coat off his back and threatening him with tho loss of bis shirt and hts socks If he does not submit. All through the present tariff law, passed by a Republican congress and endorsed by a Republican President as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER PASSED, are to be found discrimina tlons, the higher duty on tho obeaper article, the lowor on the shoulders of those least able to bear lt the great er burden of tho protective system; Here are some Illustrations: The ohoapeat wool blankets bear a duty of 165.42 per cent; tho dearest, 104.66 per cent.

Al > Their Effect on Ute Digestivo > Organs Responsible for Many > of tho Season's ills. Summer should bo the period of perfect health, but impure water and milk, unripe fruit, and the tendency to indulge in acid foods and iced drinks, produces a contrary condi tion in many people. The effect of the average summer diet is to constipate even normally regular bowels, and this results ill disarranging tho entire digestive sys tem. When the bowels art. choked with the stomach's refuse, indigestion is almost sure to follow and the waste matter that should pass out through the bowels, not finding pas sage, ferments in tho stomach and the poisons ure forced into.the blood, causing much distress and often seri ous illness. To keep tho bowels free, there h no more effectivo remedy than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This ls a pleasant-tasting bowel stimulant and laxative tonic, that is very gentle in its action, bringing relief In an easy, natural manner, and without discom fort.
