newspaper work. which he loves in spite
of its many drawbacks.

the idea with this enthusiast. President
Roosevelt sent for him and offered him the
post of Governor Of the Danish West In
dies.
Mr. Riis is one of those who helped to
headquarters. where they first became ac-
Quainted and where the tenement-house
apostle was making his first reputation as
a police reporter, they became fast friends.

whipped a lot of them for speaking idly Of
his idol.

Mr.. Riis. I believe l can be of more serv-
ice in my accepted task
And back he came to New York last
night to make the landlords tremble and to
write new heart throbs regarding the
pitiful lives of those who are caught in
noisesome tenements.

Your Decision This Day Is ALL
Important.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Guarantees a Freedom from Dis.
ease and Sickness.
INDIFFERENCE AND CARE
LESSNESS LEAD TO PHYS
ICAL SHIPWRECK AND
THE GRAVE.

The weak, ailing. sick and diseased
have now more than ever before under
their control their physical condition.
Ihey are Tree agents, and almost wnolly
responsible for their future When the
brain Is not affected. and the mind can
discern between right and wrong,
duty to themselves. their friends and
country loudly demands a marked de-
cision-prompt and determined action
when health is impaired and life is in
danger.
1t Is the part of wisdom that true de-
ciSion be made to-day: tomorrow may
be too late. In thousands of cases the
checking and banishment of disease de-
pends upon instant action: an hour lost
frequently means the snuffing out of
some precious life.
Few people in our country are without
some knowledge of the wondrous, life
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound, 4 medicine that guarantees re-
lease from the diseases common to life.
What will your decision he to-day,
poor sufferer? VIII you give Paine's
Celery Compound the fair and honest
testing that others are giving it, with its
certain reward of health. strength. Wig
or. or happiness. or will ycu remain in
different and careless. content to pass
your few days or weeks in misery,
agony and wretchedness until the dark
grave claims you as its victim?
1t is almost needless to enumerate the
blessed results that flow from Paine's
Celery Compound when used promptly
in sprinStime. rs you and your friends
have a knowledge of them. OF this you
may be assured: the seeds of disease are
banished, the system is fortified. the
blood is made red and pure, the nerves
braced. digestion regulated. headaches,
sideaches and backaches forever dis
PEELED. and sweet. restful sleep takes the
place of insomnia.
