pruos Fail in Pneumonia.

Drug treatment is useless in cases
of pneumonia. The medical profession.
so far as medicines are concerned, can
be of no assistance in the fight against
this disease. The sooner the profession
will acknowledge this to the public ana
set to work to discover some specihc
to save pneumonia patients. the better
for all concerned
This startling statement by DR.. A: u
Bevan, who stands high in the profes-
sion stirred up members of the Chicaso
Medical Society at their meeting,
Several physicians spring 10 their
feet to protest against this arralgh-
ment. All had to admit. however, ina.
there is no definite remedy known, anu
they based their protests solely on tho
contention that they might influence
the patient favorably by giving some

The honest, earnest, straightfor-

and women are the only material used
in advertising Dodd's kidney Pills.
One such testimony is worth more
than a thousand unsupported claims.

WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
That la Why the American Govern
ment Is So Strong.

Some time ago committee of Brit
ish educators called the Mosely Com
mission. visited this country to investi-
gate its public school system. one of
these commissioners at banquet Civ
en- them in New York City was seated
next to Brander Matthews and re-
marked: Il am beginning to think you
educate the people very well here" Mr..
Matthews replied: Not at all, we are
the people and we educate ourselves.
After considerable reflection the Eng
lishman said. he thought that remark
gave him the key to the mystery be-
tween America and the rest of the
great nations of the world. Yes. that
is the mystery. which is no mystery
at all to Americans. In almost all
other countries rulers are born as such
under the old superstition of the di-
vine right of kings" while in the
United States all citizens are rulers by
the divine right of the people" and
this has proved so successful as tC
place this country in the very fore
front of the nations of the world in lit
tie more than century.
OF course. there are bitter political
fights here, which seem to foreigners
to threaten the stability OF the govern
ment. but they merely serve to purify
the political atmosphere. But no mat
ter how bitter the struggle and the con
sequent disappointment thereon. to the
defeated party, no man dreams of &
possible change of the American form
of government. That has long since
possed beyond the domain of discus
sion. 1t is settled forever. God save
the people. Santa Fe New Mexican
