Especial Washington letter.
"VVYHONI the Lord loveth he

w must love Democrats very

; CldSleuelll. Hele lOlC uC
w must love Democrats very
much, for he has chastened
them severely. Shakespeare says:
Sweet are the uses of adversely,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous
Wears yet precious jewel in his head.
Most assuredly we have endured the
adversely Let us hope that we are
about to discover the Jewell of success
the Jewell opportunity to lop off the
governmental fungi which under Re-
publican misrule have fastened them
selves on the body polite and to re-
store the republic to the simplicity, the
economy and the purity Of the fathers.
Indeed the signs of the times indicate
great Democratic revival, which will
elect a Democratic house of represent
atives this year and both Democratic
house and Democratic president in
1908.
In November, 1904, to casual observ-
ers it appeared on the face of the re-
turns that the Democratic party was
not only hors de combat, but that at
last it had received its coup de grace.
The more the figures are analysed,
however, the more it is seen that Roose-
velts phenomenal majority was caused
not SO much by Democrats who voted
for him as by Democrats who stayed
at home.
The stay at home Democrats of 1904
are not dead; not even sleeping. With
a candidate and a platform to suit
them they will endeavor to make up
for lost time by being first at the polls
in 1908.
If we would win the wishes of the
Democratic masses who care far more
for principle than for Office must be
complied with. They know what they
want and they intend to have it.
The way to win is to make plat,
form Democratic in every plank and
part, placing thereon q candidate Dem.
ocratic from skin to core, whose opin.
ions on public questions are known OF
all men and whose Democracy needs
no af1davits for it's establishment.

A SCARLET FEVER CURE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by DR.. Luhan.

A new treatment for scarlet fever
which, he says, has had long series
of victories and no failures in its strug-
giles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as free scien-
tific contribution to the medical profes-
sion by DR.. j. +. c. Luhan, of East
Seventy-second street, n. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from the disease
were the result Of paralysis of the
heart, he devised a treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre-
vents anaemiar-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles-and also prevents
kidney complications.
The physician in speaking Of his
treatment, said:
"As to my treatment. The germs Of
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscles. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis Of the heart follows. My
treatment Is curative and eliminative.
In the first four days Of the disease,
prescription No. / increases the iron
in the red blood without impairing
the function Of the kidneys. The
ingredients of No. /, and also another
substance, acts on the kidneys in such
a way as to cause the red corpuscles
which have been destroyed by the dis
ease germs to be eliminated from the
blood. Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion in the interior mech
anism of the kidneys, which turns into
Bright's disease. The extra oxygen in
the blood prevents paralysis of the
heart, which is due to the presence In
the blood Of carbon monoxide.

placed in lightest and best ventilated
room of its home. The medicine must
be purchased only Of reliable druggists
as 1t must be perfectly pure and con-
tain no chemical likely to depress the
heart action. 1t must be kept in an
amber colored bottle, as 1t is affected
by the light. While there are no pois-
ons used in the preparations, the med
icine should be thrown away after the
patient is we'll and renewed when
needed again."

men Of that splendid city nothing i'm
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements OF
some Of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York In
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity Of the whole region rather
than TO that OF an individual or OF a
single community. The story Is well
worth telling, because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head Of
natural resources, such as climate,
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but II must find the genius to use
them IN the best way before II can be
great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia. which is con-
sequently proud Of the enterprising

THE CARPENTERS SQUARE.
History Of Its Invention and Manu-.
facture.

History Of Its Invention and manu-.
facture.
Carpenters who use the common
steel square, a very necessary ad-
junct to their trade. perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions of squares manu-.
factured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth cen.
tury was born there was not one In ex-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South SALISBURY, was called upon by
q peddler of tinware to shoe horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house, buying everything in the way Of
barter. This one had a number Of
worn out steel saws that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shoeing the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws In pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, ut right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then In use. After
a few attempts he succeeded in making
square, marked It of into inches and
fractions Of inches and found that II
answered every purpose that he In
tended it for.
| In the course OF q few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number oi
these squares, which he sent out by
peddlers. who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had or
ders coming In faster than he could
supply the demand. One of his stee
squares would sell for IS. or Sc
which was five times as much as i
/ cost him.
He applied for and obtained a paten'
on his invention so that no one els'
could deprive him Of the profit 1t gav'
him. It was just after the war OF 1872
and money was scarce and difficult T.
get. But he worked early and late

iron, and hired men to help him. II
a few years he was able to erect

WHISTLES TOO NOISY.
WOMAN PHILANTHROPIST WOULD
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DIS.
TURBANCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac 4. Rice, a Wealthy New
Yorker, States that Half Of the
Vast nubbub Raised BY Boat
Whistles Is Useless.

Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice Is one of the
few rich and influential women OF
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort of those
less fortunate in the awarding Of
the worlds goods than herself.
Mrs. Rice is philanthropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to the want and suffering
around her and has recently been
making strong effort to have at
least one nuisance abated--a nuisance
In one sense and a menace to many
lives.
This is the constant and, as Mrs.
Rice declares, the unnecessary blow,
ing Of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens can
be heard for a distance Of thirteen
and half miles over the city and
through careful investigation Mrs
Rice has found that hundreds of in
valids In hospitals and nervous wo-
men in homes are driven almost to
distraction.
From her palatial home in New
York's most exclusive resident section
Riverside Drive-Mrs. Rice has
gone forth to investigate this and
see IL there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ana
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au.
thorities in New York who told her
any remedial measures were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Washington.
Leaving her handsome home In
New York Mrs. Rice went to Washing
ton and laid the matter before the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials OF the depart
ment of the $4,000 sick people in
New York whose suffering was made
two fold by this unnecessary noise;
she told how nervous men and women
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, piercing shrieks OF the
river boats and she told them, too,
how river men themselves had said
that so many unnecessary signals in
duced collisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was not against
the lawful signals but against the IN.
Vulnerable blasts that were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
and their crews. Scows coming up
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never cease until they
reached their wharves. This was a
warning to their crews to make ready
to get out.
