The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con-
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti-
tuition so weakened that a Simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.

Governor Plngree issued call for another
special session of the legislature Wednes-
day afternoon. This, probably the last
which the governor can convene, is called
for Wednesday, December 10, and will be
expected to enact an equal taxation measure.
This will be practically the reenactme Mt of
the Atkinson bill which had been passed
once and pronounced unconstitutional, but
which has now chance of living, IL drought
to light again, owing to the passing of the
constitutional amendment at the recent cleo
ton. By this amendment 1t now becomes
constitutional to tax railway companies and
other corporations on their cash value as
the property Of individuals Is taxed instead
of taxing them On their earnings as they
have been In the past. The passage of the
bill at this time however seems to be consid-
erably imperilled by the supreme contempt
which the action of Governor Pingree In
pardoniDg Generals White and Marsh has
aroused for the chief executive of the state.

Free Delivery Extension.

In commenting on the growth of the
postal service as an index to the increasing
business activity OF the country which has
been developed so fast during the last year,
President, Mckinley makes some very
interesting statements concerning free rural
delivery. The farmers of the country
should note the fact that the president has
the subject of their rights and needs and
opportunities for helping make their life
more enjoyable, as much in mind i'm
mediately after the national election as he
has ever had.
The democratic party did not care enough
about the farmer to even try the expe riment
when congress had made an appropriation
for the same. Under the republican
administration which the people of this
country have wisely voted to continue, the
free rural delivery of mail will 60 on until
an assured success is reached. The
language of the president is as follows:
1.-THE continued and rapid growth of the
postal service Is sure index of the great
and increasing business activity of the
country. Its most striking new develop
ment is the extension of rural free delivery.
This has come almost wholly within the
last year. At the beginning of the fiscal
year 1899-1900 the number of routes 10
operation was only 391, and most of these
had been running less than twelve mouths.
On the 18th of November, 1900, the numb or
had increased to 2,614, reaching into forty
four states and territories, and serving q
population of 1,801,5 The number of
applications now pending and awaiting
action nearly equal all those granted up to
the present time, and by the close of the
current fiscal year about 1000 routes
will have been established, providing for
the daily delivery of mails at the scattered
homes of about three and half millions of
rural population, This service ameliorates
the isolation OF farm life, conduces to good
roads, and quickens and extends the dis
semlnation of general information. EX-
perence thus far has tended to allay the
apprehension that 1t would be so expensive
as to forbid its general adoption or make it
serious burden. Its actual application
has shown that it increases postal receipts,
and can be accompanied by reductions in
other branches of the service, so that the
augmented revenues and the accomplished
savings together materially reduce the net
cost. The evidences which point to these
conclusions are presented In detail In the
annual report of the Postmaster General,
which with its recommendations Is recon-
mended to the consideration of the Congress.
The full development of this special service,
however, requires such large outlay of
money that 1t should he undertaken only
after careful study aud thorough under
standing of all that 1t involves"

The Detroit Journal.
Prosecuting Attorney Frazer, in hand
ing out the days work to his assistants
this morning threw bunch of papers
on Henry Mandell's desk with the re-
quest that he draw up requisition papers
on the governor of Indiana for the
person of Charles b. Holmes, alias S. G.
Welch, alias A. b Cross, who is now in
Jail in indianapolis and who is wanted
here on the charge of conspiracy to
cheat and rob. This is the man, it is
alleged, who married Hattie Norton
Holmes in Windsor and after the cere-
mony drugged and robbed her of 500.
Clare Bingham, who it is further
alleged assisted him in the robbery and
shared in the spoils, will be tried on the
same charge. The requisition papers
will be prepared for the governors
signature this afternoon and one of the
local detectives will go to the Indiana
city for Holmes. Prosecuting Attorney
Frazer believes that he has cinch case
against both and he will push it with his
characteristic energy.
