building and builders" He talked Of
the Worlds Great architects, artists,
authors, painters, sculptors, etc. He
said that every one, no matter how
low his station in life, who left the
world better than he found it, was
builder, that he who digged n
ditch well built for the words bet
terment. He might truthfully add
ed that he who discovers great
remedy like Rydale's Tonic, works
for the worlds betterment. Rydale's
Tonic is a human system builder.

stores weak nervous systems and in
creases the strength and weight. All

nounces it a great system tonic and
builder.

by the fact that he was speaking
upon a non-political occasion, and
was consequently going under apull'
he made it clear that the fight
would be between himself and Mr..
Roosevelt, that Taft was only the
means by which the President hoped
to crush him, and that he did not
propose to be dictated to by any
one. Here is sample OF Mr.. For
aker's attitude from his own lips.
"While conceding the right OF the
President and of everybody else to
differ from me, | deny the right OF

Therefore it is that ! propose to
