NEVER FAILS TO CUREl
Astonishing Record Of the Great Paine's Celery
Compound.

Astonishing Record Of the Great Paine's Celery
Compound.
Paines celery compound has never vet
failed to cure.
Where all other medical treatment has
failed to relieve, Paine's celery compound
has succeeded time and time again.
John W. Boyd of Mishawaka, Ind,
saws OF his own case:
Last winter Twas taken down with a
very severe attack of nervous and
muscular rheumatism, so bad that |
could not lie down, sit up or stand, with
out the most excruciating pain. | was
all the time under the care of two of the
best physicians ofthe place, but did not
improve. | took different rheumatic
cures and used an electric battery half
hour each day for 10 days, without any
relief.
FINALLY | concluded to try Paine's
celery compound, and to my surprise
after using one half of bottle was able
to get out and vote on election day, and
before used the whole bottle | went to
work, and have worked every day since.
have gained 20 pounds in weight and
am feeling first rate.
My wife has also been taking it for
nervousness, and thinks that there is
nothing like it. We both recommend it
to all OF our acquaintance, and you are
at liberty to use this letter as you see ft
for it truly worked wonders in my case"
And Paine's celery compound is work
ing just such wonders in every state,
county, city and village OF the country
today.
The reader must know some one who
has tried it. Ask that person if he or she
was not at once benefited!
Don't let dealer palm off anything
else on you, however; for there is as
much difference between Paine's celery
compound and all the ordinary
sarsaparilas, tones, nervnes and COM
pounds as there is between an electric
motor and boys windmill.
There is power to cure in Paine's celery
compound.

Major Handy's Recomme meadation Ee-
garding the Paris EXPOSITION.

Washington Dec. S.-The president
has submitted to congress the report of
Major Moses 7. Handy of Chicago. spec
ial commissioner to the Paris Interna-
tiOnal Exposition, giving the details Of
his mission. In his letter of transmit
tai, the president says the report gives
a clear and comprehensive presentation
Of the situation. The commissioner
recommends that an appropriation of
1913 500 be granted so that a creditable
display on behalf Of the United States
may be made.
The president in transmitting the re-
port says: Besides securing a much
larger amount of space than had been
gratifying assurance that the United
States will be placed on a footing with
the most favored nations and that in
the installation of every important de-
partment, the United States will have
a location commensurate with the dig
nifty and importance of the country and
adjoining in every case, countries Of
the first rank. In view of the magni-
tude and importance of the approach
ing exposition and of our standing
among the nations, that will there be
represented and in view also of our in
creased population and acknowledged
progress in arts. sciences and manufac-
lures. I earnestly commend the report
Of Major Handy to your consideration
and trust that a liberal appropriation
may be made. Moreover the magnifl-
cent exhibit of the French republic at
lars were expended should be a strong
incentive to reciprocal liberality on the
part of the government of the United
States

THE CYCLE CONTEST.
Miller the First Man to Complete the
1000 Miles

New York, Dec. S-When the third
day of the six days bicycle race opened
in Madison Square Garden, just half
the number of original starters were
contesting the honOrs.
The rivalry between the French and
the German riders is one of the curious
features of the contest. Schinner Mil
Ter and Waller, when on the track to-
gether, always encourage each other
and make combined efforts to get the
better of Rivierre and Stephane, while
the Frenchnen stick close together and
coach each other in their mother tognue.
Hale, who probably receives more ap-
plause than any of the contestants,
plOds along with terrific energy but
seems unable to make any Fperceptib bic
gain upon the leaders.
The coIOred man Gray would have
quit during the night had it not been
for his trainers. A feature of the race
was when early this morning Gray's
trainers followed their man around the
track with a stick urging him to get a
move on" Gray pIodded sullenly on.
At $3.50 O'Clock, Miller completed his
thouSandth mile. His score at 10:15
was 1910 miles-95 miles better than the
record at the same stage in any similar
contest.
The score at 11:15 a. m, was as fol-
lows: Miller, 1923 miles; Rice 971;
Schinner 971; B. Rivierre go: Moore
92S; Stephane 917; Pierce Oil; Hale $50;
Waller S84; Golden S44; EIkes S42; En-
terman S15; Cannon 743; King 738; JUL
ius $50; Gray $50; Beacon 574; johnson
566
The best previous record for SO hours
was 915 miles made by Schock at Wash
ingtOn in 1896.
The score at 2:15 was as follows:
Miller 1047, Revierre 1925. Rice 1913

tiOn to restore the Widow" to con-

solution declaring it to be the sense of
the senate that congress should with all
due convenient speed, acknowledge by
appropriate act, the political independ-
ence of Cuba He followed it with q
speech declaring that the commercial
spirit OF the United States was pre-
venting action.
Mr. Allen said that he had long urged
the United States to recognize the in
dependence of the Cuban insurgents.
He would not be content with the rec
OgnitiOn of belligerency. but would in
sist upon the Acknowledgement of alb

ministration Inasmuch as the Cubans
for more than two years on many bat

and love for liberty, he felt that they
had earned a recognition of their poll
tical liberty, and that it ought to be
accorded to them without further tenn
pOrarizing- If necessary this recOgni-
tion should be backed by fleet of
American vessels in Cuban waters. He
expressed a belief that through the own
