The Campbell Campaigners sure-
ly have no room for complaint con-
cerning their treatment in Shaw-
nee. On the streets, in the homes,
they have been treated with splen-
did cordiality, and the great audi-
ences have testified as to the peo-
ple's appreciation of great sermons
and great music.
In spite of threatening weather,
the auditorium of the church was

by Mrs. Thompson who rendered

The secretary of the Oklahoma Committee for the Relief of Belgium
Saturday asked the -News-Herald to state that the Belgian relief com-
mittee figures show that there are 1,400,000 people in Belgium on the
verge of starvation, and dependent almost solely upon American charity.
To keep these people barely alive it is necessary that a ship load of
provisions be shipped, every second day. To make this possible a con-
siderable fleet of steamers has been put into service.
The committee is appealing to bankers and business men to organize
in their respective localities with a view to permanent, in order that
the shipments may go forward regularly and In order.

A JOKE ON NEW ZEALANDI
A remarkable feature of the recent elections in New Zealand was
a political comedy In which the native women, or brown-skinned *<a°rls-
In -North New Zealand, succeeded In sending Tau Tenare. a man o t let
race, to parliament, where he holds the balance of power. Tenare had
not originally been a candidate, but was unexpectedly put forward by a
self-appointed committee of women in defiance of the male politicians
and by virtue of the feminine vote he beat seven other candidates by -0U
plurality. The Maori woirten frankly admit it was largely because 1 cnare
was young and handsome that they thrust his greutness upon him.
The successful Maori is keeping both parties guessing as to
political complexion. If he sides with Premier Maesey, the head of the
Reform party now. In power, tho government will have 41 votes, but it
he supports Sir Joseph Ward, leader of the opposition—as it is said
he proposes to do-each party will have forty votes, in deadlock over
the election of a speaker for the house. Efforts have been made to
"smoke out" this Maori Adonis but they have been in vain.

THE HOME MERCHANT.
Joe B. Cobb Friday afternoon again
demonstrated the efficiency of his
patented switch point safety device
befor? the staff of the third district
of the Rock Island, near the Beard
street crossing. As in the previous
tests, an engine running at full
speed, drawing a car from which
projected a settl rail, passed the
switch, tlft? rail knocking over the
switch stand. The paten., held the
switch point firmly in place. In
fact, it could not be seen to move
at all from Its position.
!Mr. Cobb's invention has been en-
dorsed not only by the U. S. Inter-
state commerce commission, but also
by the recent meeting of the Road-
masters and Maintenance af Way
Association of America. The Katy
railroad has adopted the device and
Is ttow manufacturing them for in-
tallation on the entire system.

The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke,
aud carries your account until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied 'with what you have bought.
He is thd chap who stands behind his guaranty, and makes restora-
tion of all losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy-
He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and
lets you out with a message to Che "kids," and a real come-again
goodby.
He Is the chap who meets and greets you on the street every da>
in t'he year, and takes a neighborly interest in your family and your
affairs.
He Is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers and other employes
live in Shawnee and spend their money wit'h you and with other Shaw-
nee people.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help support Shawnee
schools, and 'build Shawnee streets, and maintain Shawnee'b fire depart-
ments and police departments, and parks, and lighting and water ser-
vice.
He is the dhap who helps support Shawnee's churches and hos-
pitals and charity organliatlons. and Shawnee'B lodges and commercial
clubB, and talkB for Shawnee and boosts for Shawnee every day In the
year.
He Is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to
your family when you die, and follo B your body out among the trees
and tombs, as far as human feet may travel wleh the dead.
He is the home merchant—your neighbor—your friend your helper
In times of need.

and 'his helker la th time of his need?
Don't yjfu know that «very dollar that you send out of Shawnee for

offices?
You don't save much, frequently nothing, when you send your money

the preacher was that every' mem

the sweeping assertion that if even

MOST OLD PEOPLE
AKE CONSTIPATED.
The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. With
advancing age people are dis-
posed to restricted activity and
exorcise, which is responsible
for the constipated condition
of most old folks. The di-
gestive organs are more sen-
sitive to the demands made
upon them and rebel more
quickly.
A mild, effective remedy for
constipation, and one th ! is
especially suited to the needs
of elderly people, women and
children, Is the combination of
simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug
stores under the name of Dr
Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin. A
