islature in a manner frequently bitter
ly resented. Personally, I have no de
sire for a public career; but 1 am

sound system of rural credits. I favor
a system of either state or national
backing, and the sale of bonds on irri
gation projects under districtg properly
organized, and where the federal recla
mation engineers, together with the
state engineers, have approved the proj
ects from both an engineering and an
agricultural standpoint. I believe in
a community property law, or in other
words, a law that will give an equal
division of property to married women
on all property accumulated subse
quent to marriage. I believe in the
gradual extension of state highway
work. I am heartily In favor of a
minimum wage law for women workers
and reasonable restrictions as o the
hours of employment.
"I am most vigorously opposed not
withstanding popular opinion to the
contrary to any attempt to repeal the
existing compensation law In this state
and restore conditions similar to those
that existed prior to the passage of this
law.

New Treatment
With Paraf fine
For Constipation
The new treatment for constipa
tion by means of lubrication is a re
markable one in many respects.
While the paraffine or petroleum is
taken inwafdly, it is not a laxative.
Ameroil acts only as a lubricant,
causing a gentle, natural movement,
and It does not gripe nor weaken.
Ameroil is a colorless, odorless and
tasteless mineral oil, which is not
absorbed or assimilated by the' sys
tem. It simply softens the hardened,
congested charges and assists Nature
to perform her duty in her own
natural way.
Ameroil is the Ideal treatment for
constipation and Is being prescribed
by the medical profession in the
most aggravated cases. It is sold at
50c per pint bottle at all Owl Drug
Stores. Advertisement.
