THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
In a book entitled 'The Strenuous Life"
in which are gathered together his vari-
GUS addresses and magazine articles, Col
Roosevelt throws down the gauntlet 10
his critics as follows:
''In speaking TO you men OF the great
est city of the West. men OF the state
which gave 10 the country Lincoln and
Grant. men who distinctly embody all
that is most American in the American
character. ! wish 10 preach not the doc
trine OF ignoble ease. but the doctrine OF
the strenuous life, the life of toll and eff
fort, of labor and strife; 20 preach mat
highest form OF succesg whi~E.~ comes not
10 the man who desires mere easy peace,
but TO the man who does not shrink from
danger. from hardship. or from bitter
toll. ard who. out OF these, wins the
splendid ultimate triumph.
still more illustrative is the following
passage.

In the years Roosevelt put In on his
Western ranch he learned 10 know and
admire the cow punchers and ranchfnen
OF the plans. the pioneers OF civilization,
and there he saw the whole story of the
winning OF the West unfolded before him.
The knowledge he gained in those years
he put into his books. "rhe Making OF

Treatment.
The gri p has surprised the doctors
and health AUTHORITIES this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody it
Is proving especially dangerous to mid
dle-aged and elderly persons. In many
cases either fatal onset of pnPumonis,
or a complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack Of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
By wearing Be,esOn's Porous Plus
ter on the chest and hack you protect
the lungs from cold and chill and (wilh

For those who are already suffering

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
