Matter of Judgment The Telegraph on Saturday night distributed pictures of the Republican nominees for president and vice- president, Since then requests have been received by mail from five Democrats who tint b.ck the Republican pictures and asked the Telegraph to furnish the Democratic candidates picturei instead. Much as the Telegraph would like to accommodate them, it cannot. In reply the Telegraph will say that the Rcpubli- can National committee arranged for the Hoover-Curtis pictures Saturday night.

The National committee made no such arrangements for any pictures. Instead the Democratic national committee used a page advertisement Monday night. upporten should have been lurmsneo, fcommittee advertising bureau. It seems to have been difference of judgment, the Republican committee re- Oying on picturei, the Democratic committee on a page fadvertisemcat.

THE WITH HIS PAY "THEY Aft Health and Diet Advh BY DR PRANK McCOY Author of The Fast Way to Health tncT A STRONG The back bone Is considered by many anatomlsls as the most Important structural part of the body. To the thirty-three bones of the spinal column are attached the skull, the ribs, the pelvis and, Indirectly, the tones of the legs and arms. The spine also forms a safe bony canal for the protection of the delicate spinal cord and between each two vertebrae of the spine there em mate two seta of spinal nerves.

Because of the normal curves of the spine, anl because of the cartilage separating each section tt the bone, the Jars of walking, running and jumplnj are largely absorbed and prevented from reaching the brain. From this brief description you wffi understand what an important relation a strong spine has to htaltw. The powerful muscles attached to the spine must be strong slastic and evenly balanced, one side with the other. The old expression, "plenty of backbone" Implied in a crude way the value of a strong spinal column. People with strong spines and necks are usually independent in spirit, self reliant and courageous.

Ir A. The Bureau of Standards says pounds or A Mere Word In these days of political campaigning a word eagerly, with frenzy, seized upon by -note excitement is the word hectic.

One would be- ilieve who was reading a sentence that the word hectic Swould refer to excitement, or thrill, or hard fighting. Just why the word hectic should be seized upon is not clear unless it is because the word hw a connection with a particular kind of fever. A hectic campaign, or hectic meeting, or a hectic speech sesms to be common Yet, the meaning'of the word hectic is quite apart from the meaning given. Dictionarily speaking it refers to a particular kind of a wasting fever, found tubercu i losis, in which there is no pep in the patient, just eit haustion. Even The Associated Press, known for it exactness of use of language, has numerous correspon i dents who see in the word hectic meanings which do not exist, and they get away with it.

Before you use the word hectic again look up its meaning in your best "authority on words and discover there that its use carries a meaning far from what you may intend. How Are the Mighty Fallen There is one pitiful figure in the present national campaign, and that is Frank O. Lowden. Disappointed he could not win the Republican nomination, he must sulk in his tents. Gone, after this election, will be his political prestige, for a time to come.

No matter who is elected president, the view of Lowden may would that you were either hot or cold." Ex- Governor Lowden is contenting himself by extending his best wishes politically to but one candidate on the Republican ticket and none on the Democratic. A few years back his backing would have been deemed estimable value. Today all candidates are managing to worry along without any help from him. In the Kansa City convention he failed to show the good sportsman 1 ship he should have expected from another who, had been successful in his ambitions, would have sought and expected to find good sportsmanship in those he had defeated, The Women's Vote The Associated Press yesterday was estimating the total registration of voters in the United States for the election a week from today at 43,000,000. That is a gain of 14,000,000 over the vote of four years ago when John W.

Davis failed to stir the country following the disastrous Madison Square Garden concention. Of the total vote it is estimated that per cent will be women, and 6J per cent will be men. The women with their vote are not to be an exclusive asset to cither Smith or Hoover. The Republicans are counting on getting the majority of the women for Hoover because many si man has found his wife inclined to take politi- views opposing his. It is certain that the women art getting ready vote this time as they have never done before.

Efforts to interest them in the past have quite as strenuous, but have not brought the bringing this year.

"What will Coolidge do about Harding policies, Hard- ng cabinet office holders?" That was the first rush of peculation about him. He said very little, even to the tandful of cabinet members gathered to greet him when IB arrived. He told them merely that he expected to close up the ranks and march ahead. That was all he did.

For the remainder of the Harding term, Harding policies were kept Intact. It was only on whllly new questions that Coolidge policy began taking shape. After his own overwhelming victory In 1024 and when he took office In his own right and title, there was a distinct change.

Yet hardly had the actual Coolidge administration got settled than clamor arose as to whether it was his purpose to seek another nomination in 1828.

It meant a great deal to many other party aspirants for the nomination. And nobody who attended White House press conferences could have much doubt that Coolidge was amused the situation. There was a twinkle in his eye every time he ignored a question as to his plans. In two years he popped out the famous "I do not choose" statement. It just served to set speculation as to what he meant at fever heat.

It kept that temperature right up to the Vare-Mellon pronouncement for Hoover at Kansas City this summer. Now Coolidge is still shadowed by a huge question mark.
