THE PROMOTER OF PEACE.
President Entitled to Thanks of All
Europe.


Europe.
from the South Bend Qnd1 Tribune.l
Here is gentleman who knows
what he is talking about, and he Is
outspoken and emphatic in his lauda-
ton of PreSit 1T Roosevelt as pro-
moter of international peace. Baron
d'EstOurnelles of France was foremost
in the movement which led to the An
glo-French treaty, thus assuring
permanent good understanding between
two powers that had been for genera
tions more or less at odds. The baron
expected to attend the international
peace congress in Boston next month,
but now finds himself unable to do so,
owing to the approaching elections in
France. In writing to explain his in
ability to be present and expressing re
gret at his detention the baron says:
Il had hoped at Boston to recognize
publicly the grand and decisive serv-
ices rendered to the cause of interna-
tiOnal arbitration by the United States,
and particularly by President Roose-
velt. Better than any one l know that
the court of The Hague stood deserted.
abandoned and ridiculed until the day
when he had the courage, generosity
| and foresight to save it. This act alone
has entitled him to the thanks for his
pacific and liberal spirit of all Europe" "
This statement is rather confusing to
the Democrats, who are picturing the
president as breathing threatenings
and slaughter and inviting trouble in
every direction. And, what is more, il
is the truth, while the Democratic at
tacks are mere partisan misrepresenta

Triumphs of Modern Surgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back. Or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of deceased sections of
veins; antiseptlc dressings are ap-
piled to wounds, buses, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and When applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconven-
ience and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by Corner

One great secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys-
TEN and well-being. Every woman, young

this knowledge is to get good doctor
book, such, for instance, as the "People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser" by R. v.
Pierce, M. D., which can readily be pro-
cured by sending twenty one cents in one

thirty one cents for cloth bound copy, ad-

OIL, water and Long Life.

According to Californian, people
who would preserve undiminished spry-
ness and ut the same time attain
length of days have only to drink dis
titled water and rub olive oil on the
joints, besides taking proper exercise.
"Ordinary water" he says, contains
mineral substances and sediment which
find their way to the joints. Thus We
find men and women troubled with
rheumatism. Their joints prematurely
ossify. and old age comes on. The meth
cd which l have put into practice has

THE SUGAR BEET.

A government bulletin gives some in
teresting facts relative to the growing
of sugar beets in this country. The
average yield per acre for 1903 was
eight and one-half tons per acre. the
average price received by the grower
was S. per ton, the average cost to pro-
duce the crop was $50 per acre and the
average net profit per acre was $3.50.
AS opposed to this really discouraging
showing, possible crop. which was
produced in Colorado, was thirty three
tons per acre, costing $38 to produce
and selling for $158. giving a net profit
of $12O per acre. It is very evident
that sugar beet culture will find its
best show in the lands of perennial
sunshine and irrigation. The beet crop
cannot compete with the corn crop in

feel isolated and lonesome it is largely
their own fault. With the telephone to

easily available, a man is fool to do
without the telephone. take no good

were never SO cheap. or get along with

try, the sensible man will go intelli-
gently to work to see how he may i'm
