Oil for Country Roads.

William Rockefe.ier, who owns a
half dozen large automobiles and tour
ing cars, is showing great interest in
the improvement of the highways in
the towns along the Hudson. His lat
est proposition to the local authorities
is to sprinkle the Albany post road
and other thoroughfaros near his,
home at Tarrytown with crude oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller believes the oil wf1s
lay the dust during the summer and
harden the roads until they will re-
semble macadam. Ii the highway au-
thorities adopt the suggestion. Mr-
Rockefeller will supply oil free OF
charge to the towns, from the cars OF
the Standard Oil Company. The au-
thorities will take up the proposition
and probably give it a trial this
spring.

the churches in Kansas to-day special
services were held in honor OF the

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anamia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are impera
fectly nourished and pain is the way irE
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect tho
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures Mt best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
Of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills all unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr
Williams Pink Pills did me great dead
of good. I had headache nearly all the
time. After had taken three boxes OF
these pills becam7 entirely we'll"

COFFEE HEARC
Very Plain in Some People,.

A great many people go on suffer
ing from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
II became satisfied some months
ago that l owed the palpitation Of The
heart, from which l suffered almost
daily, to the use OF coffee q had been.
q coffee drinker for 80 years.. but
found it very hard to give up the bev--
.erage.
II realized that l must give up tho
harmful indulgence in coffee but i
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking. 4
was at loss for awhile what to do
"One day ran across a very SEN
sible and Straightforward presentz--
tion OF the claims of Postum Food
Coffee. and was SO impressed thereby
that l concluded to give 1t a trial. ny,
experience with 1t was unsatisfactory
till learned how it ought to be pre-
pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After
learned that lesson there was mo-
trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
to be a most palatable and satisfsc~
tory hot beverage. and I have used II
ever since.
1.-The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palptation from which
/ used to suffer SO much. particularly
after breakfast. and never have re-
turn OF 1t except when dine or lunth
away from home and am compelicd
to drink the old kind OF coffee because
Postum is not served. l find that Pos
tum Food Coffee cheers and invigor-
ates while 1t produces no harmful
stimulation" Name given by Postum

which / am so very proud should have
been enacted during my administra-
ton, the law by which the nation un-
dertook to do its share in the great
work OF reclamation of the arid lands
OF the West: when We got through that
law there were certain short-sighted
people representing, as they believed,
the interests of the non-arid eastern
lands, who objected to the passage OF
the law on the ground that 1t would
help build up their rivals; whereas,
they ought to have seen that whatever
built up the inter-mountain states
would add to the prosperity OF all the
United States. (Applause).
There is just one safe motto for
Americans to act on: that is the motto
of all men up and not some men down.
(Applause).
In q very small way am trying to
help buIld up an industry for the bene-
fit Of the whole country; but we are
starting it here in Colorado. Through
Secretary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture in connection with your
agricultural college. l think we are
starting the development Of a breed of
American horses which you might call
the general utility horse. l want to
say that II have any influence with
this administration l am going to get
them 10 continue that work.
ALSO, incidentally, want to say II
any OF you have come from Texas you
will appreciate this: l want to try to
take and Develop the old breed of Nor
gan horse which is an AL horse, be-
cause we nave in the Morgan horse
type which is not, in my belief. sur
passed in any country for the purpose
to be served by the breed Of horse most
important for us to develop. l do not
think that the perpetuation Of that
fine old stock should be left to private
breeders. / think the government
should take part in 1t. The reason We
have started this horse breeding by
the government here in Colorado is
that we find, for reasons that am not
wholly able to explain. that the stout
est forelegs in horses are developed
here in Colorado, and SO I hope the
senators from Colorado will help me
in Colorado.
A Governmental Policy.
Gentlemen. want to say word as
to a governmental policy In which
feel that this whole country ought to
take a great interest. and which is It.
self but part OF general policy into
which think our government must
go. l speak of the policy Of extending
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and OF giving them par
ticularly the power to fix rates and to
have the rates that they fix go into ef-
feet practically at once. AS say, that
represents in my mind part Of what
should be the general policy of this
country, the policy of giving not to
the state, but to the national govern.
ment, an increased supervisory and
regulatory power over corporations.
! (Applause).
"The first step, and to my mind the
most important step. Is this connected
with giving such power over the great
transportation corporations Of this
country. The necessity as regards that
Is peculiarly evident. l was going to
say when the first pioneers came to
Colorado. but that would hardly be So

Not Cure All Evils.
Now fix clearly in your minds two
facts at the outset As with every
thing else mundane when you get that
supervisory and regulatory power on
behalf of the nation you will not have
cured all the evils that existed, and
you will not equal the expectations of
the amiable but ill-regulated enthusi-
asst who thinks that you will have
cured all those evils. A measure of
good will come. some good will be
done. some injustice will have been
prevented. but we shall be long way
from the millennium. Get that fact
clear in your minds or you will be lay
ing up for yourselves a store of meal
culable disappointment in the future.
That is the first thing.
Now the second and even the more
important: when you give a nation
that power remember that harm and
not good will come from the giving 1t
unless you give it with the firm deter
mination not only to get justice for
yourselves but to do justice to others;
that you will be as jealous to do jus
tice to the railroads as to exact JUS
tice from them. CHEERS and ap-
plause.)
I'VE cannot afford in any shape or
way in this country to encourage a
feeling which would do injustice to a
man OF property any more than we
would submit to injustice from a man
OF property. Whether the man owns
the biggest railroad or the greatest
outside corporation in the land, or
whether he makes each days bread by
the sweat of that days toll. he is en-
titled to justice and fair dealing. to no
more and to no less (Cheers and ap-
plause.) A spirit OF envy on the part
of those less well of against the better
off is as bad and no worse than n
spirit OF arrogant disregard for tAe
rights of the man of small means on the
part of the man of large means. The
arrogance and the envy are not two diff
ferent qualities. they are the same
quality shown by men under different
circumstances.
Would Bring Harm.
I'VE must make up our minds that
nothing but harm will come from any
scheme to exercise such supervision as
that i advocate over corporations, and
especially the common carriers, un-

to administer a law OF such increased

Mayor Speer's Speech.

The introduction OF Senator Patter-
son by Toastmaster Gabbert was some
what longer than that of the others.
He spoke in playful manner of some
of the senator's hobbies. particularly
regarding the manner in which Sis
newspapers are to be considered He
introduced the speaker with the re-
mark that nobody could more grace
fully or eloquently speak to the toast,
The President" than the junior sena-
tor. Senator Patterson said:
Mr.. Toastmaster-Thc few OF us
who voted for smother candidate at the
last election, II not ready to take on
sackcloth and ashes, are at least will
ing to sdmit that probably the great
majority were wiser than the small mi
nority in selecting the man they did
for President.
The spirit that moved the people to
seat our honored guest in the White
House was not inaptly illustrated by
the campaign button adopted by the
stockmen and cowboys. 1t bore the
likeness of the President and beneath 1t

LETTER TO MIR. J. A. HAIR
 JAN, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much; neck, so much; all the way between.
 Just so with paint. Devoe lead-and-zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck; the be- tween, some say, is good enough for them.
 But Devoe costs less, not more than between. Lead-and-oil is between; it is the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens white lead. De- voc lead-and-zinc is the paint that wears twice as long as lead and-oil.
 Mir. John N. Deitel, Fair Ha- ven, N. Y., writes:
 "Mr. Charles Hallenbeck of this place painted his house three years ago with Devoe lead-and- zinc; his father painted at the same time with lead-and-oil. To- day the sons house looks as well as the day it was painted, while the fathers house has all chalked off and needs painting very badly. The father says he will paint with Devoe next time"

TO THE ASSURING PUBLIC.

For many years this agency has written unquestioned and un- questionable fire insurance in companies that, with two or three exceptions, have been compelled to withdraw from the state on account of the. antitrust law. However, we now represent IA old line stock companies, with paid-up cash capital and with in- identifying bonds, (not Fidelity bonds, note the difference), and are prepared to issue you insur- ance just as reliable as any we have heretofore written, to the limit of the carrying capacity of the companies.
 We propose, as we have always done, to see that your losses are promptly and fairly adjusted and can certainly render you better service than can strangers or outsiders.
 We write farm property and risks in adjacent towns, and will give prompt attention to all ap- plications.

The Magnetic North.

The belief in the constancy of the magnetic compass to the north pole has not the least foundation in fact. At ev~ cry different place on the globe 1t points in . different direction, and only one or two of them are due north. In London. for instance, 1t points to place aboas II degrees west of north. Seventy-sax years ago 1t was still further away, be- ing then 24A degrees, or a quarter of the way around to the west. In the year 1880 1t pointed II degrees east. Then il began to move north till 1859. when it pointed due north. But 1t remained thus only for a moment, passing around to Its greatest collection in 1e0 yeara Again 1t turned in 1s5o, Ind is still nov ing nearer the north.
