The liability to disease is greatly
1essened when the blood is in good con-
dition. and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter

otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the

Dropsy

bed to take possession of individual
property as soon as dawn broke.
After breakfast the gifts were dis
tributed by the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt with the customary morning
kiss and wishes for a very merry
Christmas and happy New Year.
The omission of tree from the
catalogue of White House festivities

New Stock.

"Strikes and the Rubber Trade, "
Discussed.

A special dispatch to the Democrat
from Columbus, says THE Diamond
Rubber company, Incorporated under
the laws of West Virginia, and engaged
in business in Akron, has been au-
thorized to do business in Ohio. The
company Is capitalized at $1,500,000
and paid fee of $1,550 to the Secre-
tary of State"
The Diamond Co. s increase of capital
stock was made under West Virginia
charter. The new stock is alreauy
printed and will be issued Jan. 1.
In an able article on Strikes and
the Rubber Industry" the India Rub
Der World says:
The largest rubber factories in the
country, as rule, each had small
beginning, often with the owner
working. side by side with his EN-
ployes at first, and as the factory
grew, there remained community
OF interest throughout the establish
ment which permitted any grievance,
real or fancied, to be discussed freely,
without the necessity of stopping
work and wages IN order to force a
settlement. 1t may further be noted
that rubber work calls for higher
standard of intelligence than some
other branches Of industry, one evi-
dence of which is found in a relative
ly high rate of wages, and this fact
doubtless has discouraged "A resort to
strikes in rubber factories as a means
of arriving at an understanding with
employers.

to take Il long breath. The only difli.
Guilty was the dust which arose from
the earth in choking clouds, There
was a new feature on the program
Someone LETT small baby in a bug
gy al the entrance of the tent and it

in about it aud Colonel Saphar an
nounced from the stage that small
youngster at the door would like to

came that the baby was still there.
Then the Colonel made another talk.
but everyone thought he was Joking,
Finally he had the baby brought mp
on the stage and demanded that it's
mother come and get it. The baby
was a handsome infant and blinked
coniidingly at the Colonel. But the
colonel was getting scared. He had
exhibited sort OF proprietorship
over the youngster and il began TO
look as if he had baby to add te
his collection OF pets,
This evidently belongs to some
woman" he shouted frantically bu
no one responded The baby was
cared for and of course when It's
mother appeared was quickly claimed
and taken in charge.
When he was making his last talk Il
man in the crowd suddenly Spoke up.
"Why that's my baby" He took it,,
His wife had gone shopping and he
had left the baby at the door while he
stepped inside to look around, and
forgot the cheruh, as one can easily
understand who has been inside the
tent.
