JEFFERSON Memorial.

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial as
sociation. organized for the purpose
of erecting at the national capital
an appropriate and truly national
memorial to the Author of the Decla-
ration of independence" through its
president, Admiral George Dewey, has
issued an appeal to the American peo-
pie for funds to carry out the object
of the association.
The text of'the appeal is as follows:
TO the American People: The Thorn
as jefferson Memorial association has
been organized to take up the long
neglected duty of erecting Il fitting
memorial to the memory of the man
who wrote the Declaration of indie
pendence.
We have here beautiful and costly
tributes to the memory of American
soldiers, sailors, statesmen, physici-
ans. inventors and philanthropists.
and the soldiers and sailors of France
are honored, but there is not one tab
let TO the memory of that great
American, Thomas jefferson. We ask
the people to contribute according
to their ability to this memorial.
Congress will not be asked for mon
ey. as we rely solely upon the peo-
pie, the young and the old. the chill
dren and their parents, for the sue
cess of this movement.
The character and cost of the pro-
posed memorial cannot now be stated,
but it will be appropriate to the great
ness of the man and the Importance
of the document from which his name
is inseparabl bic. Rigid economy will be
observed in the expense of carrying
on the work.
Every contributor will receive a GER
tificate acknowledging his subscrip-
ton and carrying with it member
ship in the association. In time to
come these certificates will be badges
of honor.
Contributions, checks. money orders
or drafts should be made payable to
the order of the treasurer of the as
ISOLATION, Jesse Is. Wilson. president
of the Lincoln National bank. The
people will be kept informed of all inn
portant actions of the association.
Communications addressed to the
secretary, w. S. Mexican, will receive
prompt and respectful attention.
GEORGE DEWEY,
Admiral of the Navy, President.
The association is now complete in
it's list of officers, every state being
represented by a vice president and
in some cases by a representative on
the board of governors, the controll-
ing body. No great movement of a
similar character in this country, it
is claimed, has had as its officers more
men of national character and infiu-
ence than this organization. Promi-
nent men from all sections of the
country have become interested in
the movement, and have written to
the officers of the association eX-
pressions of approval. The associa-
ton. it is stated, is thoroughly non
partisan.
Among the list of vice presidents
are Illinois, Hon. Adlai Z. Stevenson;
Iowa, Hon. a. Il. Cummins, governor;
Nebraska, Hon. w. J. Bryan.

wakefuI Children.

For a long time the 2-year-old child
of p l.. Mcpherson. 50 North Tenth
street, Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep
but two or three hours in the early
part of the night, which made it very
hard for her parents. Her mother
concluded that the child had stomach
trouble, and gave her half of one of
Chamberlain Stomach and Liver
Tablets, which quieted her stomach
and she slept the whole night
through. Two boxes of these tablets
have effected a permanent cure and
she is now well and strong. For sale
by all druggists.
If it's a bilious attack. take Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets

Greed for gold is conspicuous evil
of our time and country. We want
money 10 burn; wealth to squander.
1t appears as if some men, and wo-
men as well. vie with each other in
thinking out original and striking
ways in which to make their wealth
conspicuous. They imagine that they
thus aggrandize themselves. 1t is
something to be grateful for that
there is a growing sentiment in favor
of saner living. There is strong in
huence at work for greater simplicity
and more genuine lives. There is
gain in respect for the palmer living
and higher thinking" manner of life.
BY the truest standards parade of
wealth is deemed vulgar. To dress. to
act, to order our households and our
lives by how it looks, by the opinions
of othcrs and to make an impression,
betrays a shallow mind and a weak
character.
