A BROKEN WATCH
Is seldom beyond repair by a skilful
watchmaker. We have repaired
some watches that looked as if it
would be a waste of time to at
tempt it Today they are running
as well as ever they did.
Bring us Your Watch
and let us put in proper shape. No
matter what's the trouble we can
fix it.And we repair jewelry too. So
skillfully that you wouldn't know it
from new. People who know us

! Here's a Good Rule !
How much w have learned from our
Oriental friends will be indicated by the
disposition of the Arm Mwllral Kin
before Congress, which might be de
scribed as measure to make the United
State Army fit to fight In time of war.
If the Japanese triumph taught th mili
tary world anything, it was th impor
tance of keeping soldiers hsalthy. That
a sound man will fight better than a sick
man, that an army In good physical con
dition will beat an, army depleted by dis
sase, eem truisms. Yst, until th little
yellow men achieved thir unbrokn
record of victorie no military authority
had ever given du weight to th hygienic
problem. Our army is now officered for
a strength of on hundred thousand men,
except th medical department which 1
officered for a strength of less than
fifty thousand men.
This bill seeks to increase the
medical faculty to a strength sufficient to
car for the health of th fighting men.
In our late war with Spain th medical
department lacked numbers, equipment
and authority. Th result was fourteen
soldiers dead from disease (mostly pre
ventable) to on from wounds. In th
recent war in the Far East the Japanese
lost one soldier from sickness to four from
shell, bullet and bayonet Their medical
department was sufficient, and, in its own
province, paramount Only five per cent
of our forces escaped the hospital. In an
equal length of time, and under more try
ing conditions, so reckon Dr. 1. L. Sea
man, in his recent book, but fifteen per
cent of th Japanese Army reported sick.
Fighting strength depends not' mora upon
th number of soldiers on the roster than
upon th proportion able to bear arms,
when the time of action comes. Painful
though it be to our national pride, the
inference is inevitable, that with equal
forces tnlisted, a Japanesa army with a
hospital record of only fifteen per cent
would defeat an American army with a
hospital record of ninety-five per cent
An adequate medical fore is as essential
to an army as a skilful trainer to a pu
gilistCollier's Weekly.

In this issue appears the official vote of
the primary election by precincts, i
careful analysis will reveal much informs
tion. Under this new law, the question of
location of the various nominees is largely
lost sight of, for example it will be noticed
that had Elgin cast less than sixty more
votes for those candidates who resided
there, Elgin would have had the repre
aantative, county judge, sheriff and county
commissioner. Out of a total registration
of 67?, considerably less than half of this
number of votes were cast in the two
Elgin precincts, so it will be seen how
a little effort would have secured the few
votes necessary to have completely
changed the greater portion of the ticket

(Ml JUDGE ONE THING BY ANOTHER
"I have tried Osteopathy but it did not
do m any good" is a remark one fro
quently hears from misguided persons
who upon close questioning, admit that
what they actually tried was not Osteo
pathy at all but massage, Th freest
volunteers among lay paople who attempt
to set limitations upon Osteopathy's
powers to heal ordinarily prove to be of
this class. It is not sufficient to try other
things in order to ascertain what Osteo
pathy can accomplish. The only real
way to learn if Osteopathy will cure is
to give it a fair trial under the car and
advice of an accredited osteopathic phy
sician. Still, a generalideaof this system
may be gleaned from talking with patients
who are under treatment only, make
sure that you are not talking to those who
are trying "something different".
