SWEDEN LEADING
IN TEMPERANCE
Great Progress Toward sobriety,

Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. g. -. The
progress OF the temperance movement in
Sweden of late years has been most
surprising. Teetotalism is spreading
rapidly and has obtained firm hold
among the lower classes. Not more
than a dozen years ago it was quite the
rule among the workingmen in the un.
skilled trades to drink to excess. The
consumption OF strong drink was the
one thing that prevented the ameliora-
ton of the industrial classes. MANY of
the labor leaders recognized this fact
and not only deplored it, but began an
active propaganda to overcome it. All
OF which is only one more evidence
that the labor movement in Sweden has
been blessed with prudent and intel.
igent leaders. Temperance has been
preached IN season and out Of season to
the workingnien. The change that has
been worked, I am. told by labor leaders
and other close observers of social con
an dother close observers of social con
dltlons, has been little less than mirac,
ulous. 49, - : -
Now the feeling in regard to drink is
very different. A workman who fire.
quently gets drunk is discredited, not
merely with his employers, but with his
his reputation to be known as a tippler
The organized form of this sentiment
is the Good Templar order, which is very
strong in Sweden and rapidly growing

THE DAY IN DETAIL
The President Has Thrown Himself
r. into the Breach.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 24.-The
personality Of President Roosevelt
looms larger and larger In the crisis.
He stands between the warning coun-
tries, insisting that the peace confer
ence shall not fail. Had not he stepped
into the breach the conference would
already haye gone to pieces.
President Roosevelt, until Tuesday,
had confined himself to communicating
with Mr.. Witte and Baron Kaneko.
His role was unofficial. He had not
put himself in direct communication
with st. Petersburg and Toxic. Now
he has made an official appeal, per-
sonally, as the head of one state to the
head Of another. IF it has failed, there
still remains recourse to the emperor
Of Japan.

Good Authority

Neither Liniments nor 0intments Will Reach Reconsideration
 MT. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching joints, or painful muscles people who shuttle about with the aid of cane or a crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar, are constantly asking, What is the best thing for rheumatism :"
 To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex- ternal applications is foolish waste of time. The seat of tho disease is in the blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing lotions and grease oil the skin the poison in the circulation is increasing.
 Delays in adopting sensible treatment are dangerous because rheumatism may at any moment reach the heart and prove fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic sufferers is to get tho best possible blood Remedy at once.
 MT. Stepheason's experience with this obstinate and distressing attliction is that of hundreds. He says:
 About q year ago I was attacked by severe rheumatic pains in my left shoulder. The pains were worse in wet weather, and at these periods caused me tho greatest suffering. ] tried q number of treatments and ointments, but they failed to alleviate the pains"
 Then he realized that the cause must be deeper and the pain only surface in- dication. He adds:
 [" I had heard Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People recommended as a cure for rheumatism, and when I found that I Twas gcttingno relief from applications, 1 made up my mind that l would try them. Before the first box was gone l noticed that the paius Were becoming less frequent, and that they Were not so severe as before. After the second box had been used mp l was entirely free from discomfort, and have had no traces of rheumatism siisce. ;"
 The change in treatment proved by almost immediate results that Mir Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. .115 Greenwood street, Springfield. Mass. had found the true means for the purif- ,atlon and enrichment of his blood.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are without loubt the best of all blood remedies They effect genuine and lasting cures in rheumatism, They do not merely deaden the ache, but they expel the poison from the blood. These pills are sold by all druggists.
