RIIEW OF PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT'S RECORD

Theodore Roosevelt, now President
of the United States, began public
life in 1881, when he was elected IA
member of the General Assembly of
New York from the Murray Hill dis
trict of New York city.
He served for three terms and won
for himself the name of being a fear
less champion of the rights of the peo-
pie.
During these years he secured the
abolition of fees in the office of the
county clerk, the setting aside of the
joint power of the Board of Aldermen
of especial benefit to New York city,
He was foremost in securing the pass
age of the civil service reform law in
1884 and in bringing about an inves

Tho country is becoming agitated over
the statement that religion is losing

BUTTER MILK.
1t Is Strongly Commended to Temperance
Advocates.

Buttermilk drinking, says the Chica-
go Chronicle. cannot properly be called
n "craZe," which signifies n fashion
transitory and irrational. Milk is the
natural diet of mammals. After the
digestive powers attain maturity sweet
milk, while always wholesome, en-
forces a slower process of assimila-
ton than in infancy. Before it is COM
pietely ready to give human blood nu-
triton it must undergo changes which
may be wrought in the laboratory of
the stomach or can be performed in
the churn. 1t is more economical to let
the churn do the preliminary work.
In hot weather especially buttermilk Is
grateful on account of its cooling acid.
But II ought not to be drank too cold
