pathize. Nothing is more injurious
from every standpoint than a law
which is merely sound and fury, mere

but l would far rather see only some
of it granted, but really granted, than
see pretense of granting all, in some
shape that really amounts to nothing.

of course, that il this power is grant
ed it is to be exercised with wisdom
and caution and self-restraint. The
interstate commerce commission or
other government official who failed to
protect "a railroad that was in the
right against any clamor, no matter
how violent, on the part Of the pub
lie, would be guilty Of as gross a
wrong as if he corruptly rendered an
improper service to the railroad at the
expense of the public. When | say a

actly as much square deal for the

he is not entitled, and less he shall not
have"

Success.

Success is not for him of folded hands.
Sitting with slothful limbs beside life's
gate,
Yielding his strength to pleasures silken
bands,
With ease and idleness for bride and
mate,
Nor yet is it for him who takes each
hour
And robs it OF such joy as it may
Then slumbers by the path that leads to
power.
Till age creeps on him thus. and finds
him old.
But rather is success for him who comes
Fell OF high purpose and with soul
elate.
Strong set To riddle out Iife's tangled
sums
And passed thus through works wide
open gate;
Putting aside the weakening foible-
ease;
Passing his slumbering brother on the
way;
Treading beneath his feet the lures that
please
To stand at last where night gives place

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
M. Metschnikof, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen,
These policemen which are called bhago-
cyfes look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood cell policemen, the bhagocykes,
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles.
IA new broom sweeps clean and in
order to put our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs-with-
out the use of alcohol, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, a specific for
making rich red blood-for eradicating the
poisons from the blood. In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number and strength-so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in
cipicnt consumption
"The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life says DR.. K. V. Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo, rthe health
and comfort of the average person pends
entirely on this blood supply--for the heart
must have pure blood or it will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine it is The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain of neuralgia, which is the
cry of the starved nerves for food. Head
aches, cold in the head, catarrh-and many
other things are due to stagnation of the
blood"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are mild
laxative. No other medicine equals them
for gentleness and thoroughness.

The Presidents Salute.

The presidents, salute consists of
twenty-one guns and why this particu.
lar number was hit upon has been the
cause of much speculation. One solu-
ton. more clever than probable, is
that when the revolution took place
the nation was considered able to shift
for itself, hence. twenty-one: Another
Is that figures OF the year Of the Dec
laration of Independence. 1776, when
added together make of total OF q.
The royal salute in England is also
.wenty-one guns, having been origin
lilly seven, which number fred three
lines for the three political divisions
makes the total.
