Y mm mm C mm BY BOTH PARTIES 7 - Close Check Shows Advocates of Light Wines and Beer Cannot Win Endorsement of Politicians. By ARTHUR SFARS HENUNG. Chiracs Trlbuiie-Onmlia lire 1awil Wire. Washington, May 7. "Wet" hopes to obtain a plank in the demo cratic and republican national plat forms favoring light wines and beers have gone glimmering, according to information percolating from the hradquartets of loth parties today. There has been a checking up of the prospective "wet" strength in the conventions by the republican and democratic leaders within the last week, it transpires, with the re , suit that the foes of prohibition have been advised i the hopelessness of their cause, so far as the presidential contest is concerned. i , Officials or the democratic national committee made an unusually care ful canvass of the situation, for the reason that both Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio have been figuring as presi dential possibilities favoraUe to 4he resurrection of beer, arid it was the democratic - convention which was looked to chiefly by the "wets" as likely to adopt a wine and beer plank ,froni political consideration, if not from conviction. Drys in Majority; ' . The democratic :heck-up showed that only 16 of the 56 members ol the resolutions -committee at San Francisco wouRl,. be in favor of a prevailing sentiment of thh states electing the delegates who will name the members of the committee. tM is understood that as a result of "This canvass, Chairman Cummings of the democratic national committee, who will be the temporary chairman of the democratic convention, will re frain from striking any keynote favorable to the "wets." Demo cratic leaders have also urged the antNprohibitoinists to "lay off," warning them that if they continue to press for a "wet" plank they surely will spur the prohibitionists to force through a strong "dry" plank. , i The democratic chieftains "here hope that by putting the snuffers on the "wets'SWilliam Jennings Bryan can be persuaded to abandon his. in tention to fight for a plank strongly endorsing the eighteenth amendment and enforcement thereof. Silejtce on the liquor issue is ardently desired by the democratic leaders. No Prospect at Chicago. The ca;ivass by republican leaders showed that the "wets" would be even weaker at Chicago than at San Francisco. The prospect, therefore, .s fhat the advocates of light wines and beer will transfer their endeavors to the congressional campaign, seeking to elect a congress which will modify the definition of intoxicating liquor. It. would take a "wet" landslide to win the house and with only one third of the senators to be elected1 the "wets" could scarcely hope for a frendly senate in the next congress.

'as served in restaurants in that coun try, did not favorably impress tnc duchess of Clennont-Tonnerre, who wsited the United States last au tumn and has written a book on her trip. The only American foods that appear to have made an appeal to the duchess were red bananas, Cali fornia apples and oranges and "hams of Virginia." "One must admit," she says in her book, "that food in America is not good. To a Frenchman, the word 'meal' cannot be applied to the bolting down of a club sandwich in five or six bites. The necessity of eating seems to have become for Americans a sort of monotonous and obligatory annoyance and they are bending all endeavors 'tovnard simplifying the performance." The duchess says she "is unable to comprehend why an Aiflericatt should require less time for his whole luncheon than one of her KEEP IT SWEET Keep your stomach sweet .today and ward off the indigestion of -tomorrow try Rl'HOIDS the new aid to diges tion as pleasant and as' safe to take as candy.

No pains, no griping, no injury to the ?ums or danger from acid foods--yet they stimulate the liver and bowels. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and "heavy."
