"TWO hundred years would seem time enough to
S make a great change in any people separated by
an ocean from their mother land, and scattered hither
and yon by fate and circumstance. But the Acadians
of Louisiana, French by descent, have remained French
in manners, speech and custom. They are today as they
were when forced by the English to leave their beloved
Acadia in Novia Scotia.
In South Louisiana, along Bayou Teche, from Ope-
lousas down through Breaux Bridge to St. Martinviile,
and through Lafayette to New Iberia, even as far as
Morgan City the Acadians live and thrive and make
merry as of yore.

"I don’t see why women will
drag around, in a half-hearted
way, never feeling well, barely
able to drag, when Cardui
might help put thein on their
feet, as it did me,” says Mrs.
Geo. S. Hunter, of Columbus,
Ga.
"I suffered with dreadful
pains in my sides. I had to
go to bed and stay sometimes
two weeks.
"I could not work, and just
dragged around the house.
"I got very thin. I went
from a hundred and twenty-
six pounds down to less than
a hundred.
"I sent to the store for Car-
dui, and before I had taken
the first bottle I began to im-
prove. My side hurt less, and
I began to mend in health.
"Cardui acted as a fine tonic.
I do not feel like the same
person. I am well now, and
still gaining.”

Republican funds totaled $1,655,000
and the Democrats used $9'00,000.
Woodrow Wilson’s'first campaign
in 1912 cost the Democrats $1,130,-
000. The Republican put $1,070,000
behind Taft in that struggle. In
1916 the Democrats raised and spent; dH
$1,958,000 for Wilson and the Repub-
licans $3,829,000 for Hughes. The
greatest campaign fund in American
history, $5,319,000, was used in be-
half of Harding in 1920. In that year
the Democrats backed Cox with $1,-
318,000. The echoes of he contribu-
tions made to the Harding fund have
not yet died away.
The Republican campaign fund
raised to elect Mr. Coolidge in 1924
amounted to $3,063,000. The Dem-
ocrats used $903,000 in support of
John W. Davis, and the thirc( party,
or La Follette group, spent $221,000.
The high cost of living has hit poli-
tics. All the expenses have risen.
The country has grown and is growing
Campaign methods are more and more
elaborate. Government is expensive,
and not the least of its expense is
that of selecting those who govern. I ““
All parties describe their campaigns
as “educational,” and it ccsts money
to “educate the voters.”

_ I (From Philadelphia Public- Ledger)
The belief is general that the use of
, money in politics is a new menace and
i that it is a growing danger to the Na-
' tion. The citizens sees, the machin-
i ery of a campaign in motion. He sees
tons of literature printed and mailed,
; hundreds of halls hired and numerous
political clubs organized. He knows
that speakers and emissaries are mov-
1 ing thither and yon. He sees head-
quarters filled wlih clerks.' He hears
that radio-broadcasting of political
i appeals costs from $15 to $20 per
minute.
His natural conclusion is that mon-
ey is the ruling factor in politics and
that offices are being “bought and
sold.” In a sense he is right, for often
1 the winning contender is backed by
the biggest bankroll. But not always
’ nor is the use of money in politics a
! new thing under the sun.
Election expenses are excessive and
much money is wasted in campaigns,
but when changed conditions are con-
sidered, it is clear that they have not
i greatly increased during the last half
century. In 1860 the Republicans
I spent $100,000 to elfect Abraham Lin-
' coin. This seems nothing when com-
' pared with the $3,063,000 spent in
I behalf of Calvin Coolidge in 1’924 un-
i til it is recalled that the population
, has increased from 31,000,000 to
I about 115,000,000 and that equal suf-
| frage has well nigh doubled the num-
g ber of potential voters in that popula-
tion.
Some of the long-past campaigns
rolled up great expenditures. In 1876
more than fifty years ago, Republi-
cans spent $950,000 for Hayes, and
the Democrats used $90'0,000 for Til-
den. Garfield’s campaign in 1880
cost $1,110,000 and that of Hancock,
$355-,000.
In 1884 the Democrats put $1,400,-
■ 000 behind Grover Cleveland, and the
I Republicans spent $1,300,00'0 for

The motorist traveling through the beautiful Evan-

and the strong oval countenances of French men and
hears spoken perchance the greetings of neighbors in
their mother tongue; and, incredible as it may seem,
many a negro plantation worker speaks only in French.
