1t is true that "Blood Vine is wonder
full medicine. Wonderful, because Of its
great breadth Of cures. "Blood Wine," soon
to be Americas most widely known and
popular medicine, kills the germs of disease

their origin in the blood or that are spread
by germs, come under the curative powers
of this great French discovery. "Blood

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA-
TION.

In his Thanksgiving proclamation,
fixing the day of national observ-
ance, on Thursday, November 81,
President Roosevelt notes that the
year has been one of peace and over
flowing plenty; though decade by
decade there has been a struggle on
ward and upward we now enjoy abund-
antly material we'll being, and under
the favor of the Most High we are
striving most earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting; rarely
has any people enjoyed greater pros
perity than we are now enjoying. He
continues: For this we render heart
felt thanks to the Giver of good; and
we seek to praise him not by words
only but by deeds, by the way in
which we do our duty to ourselves
and to our fellow men.

The Colombian government is not
at loss to find pretext for holding
open the matter of making the final
agreement with this country regarding

million dollars offered by the United
States and does not want to wait six
teen years, as proposed in the State
department treaty, before receiving
the first installment.

claim to holding the worlds suicide

Another Democratic campaign gun
is spiked by the announcement that
clear title will be guaranteed to the
United States in the case of the Pana-

ragua canal instead of the Panama,
on the ground of poor title to the
latter, may as well be hushed now
that Attorney General Knox has re-
ported that the title is good. These
mystic yarns of demoralized Demo
cracy help to keep that party in the
minority, and will tend to class it
among the "dead ones" in 1904.
