IS CLAIMED GOOD
FOR THE BLOOD
Good Home Made Mixture Said to
Make Kidneys Filter Out
impurities.

All medical authorities are agreed
that the blood is the great source of
disease or Of health in the human sys-
tenn. If the blood Is pure, the indi-
vidual is strong and healthy, If the
blood is impure or diseased then there
is sickness or decay in the whole sys-
TEN.
Rheumatism is strictly n blood dis
ease. 1t is caused by excessive uric
acid. Sores, pimples, etc, mean bad
blood. Catarrhal affections must be
treated through the blood to get per-
manent results. To get we'll. to feel
strong, hearty and vigorous n must
have good clean blood and lots of 1t.
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged. inactive
kidneys and liver which causes, too.
such symptoms as hackache. nervous
ness. bladder and urinary difficulties
and other sympathetic troubles.
Here Is a simple home remedy and
the recipe for making it up IS as fol-
lows:
Fluid Extract DandeIion one-half
ounce, Compound KarGon one ounce.
Compound Syrup. Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
axe in nteaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gradients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy at small
cost.
Here the readers of this paper have
a simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms of blood. kidney
and bladder diseases which SHOULD re
lIevc rheumatism and catar, bal anec-
tons ana replace that weak, worn
out, Indifferent feeling with strength,
\ Niger and health.

and has existed for years, yet It
does not assume to make this ques.
ton one Of politics, but rather a
matter of civics to be treated in the
wisest manner possible and as the
popular will would have it.
on the question of a primary elec-
ton law he says the nomination OF
candidates and their election to Of
fee should be fair and free from
fraud. What better could they be
than that?
Mr.. Swlsher declares himself in
favor of the rights and protection OF
labor and pledges himself to look
after their welfare. In this he
stands with his party in State and
nation as every laboring man knows,
Better schools and more pay for
teachers are advocated by him the
same as it is by the Republican
party, the founder of the education
al system in this State and its tru-
est and best friend.
There Is no misunderstanding Of
his attitude toward the interests OF
the farmer and he pledges that i'm
portant interest his best service.
He also promises to see that the
good roads question receives more
attention than it has IN the past
None will object to this. but, to the
contrary will take up the idea and
push it along as never before.
With the Virginia debt question
in the courts he handles this subject
with proper diplomacy, but at the
same time lets it he distinctly I'M.
derstood hat he does not he
lieve we owe a dollar of it.
And, in concluding his announce
ment, Mr.. Swisher gives evidence OF
his unquestioned loyalty II the Re-
publican party and it's principles
and pledges himself to abide by the
action of the rank and file and t.
carry out their will faithfully.
Adverse criticism of the platform
is shown to be unfair and prelude.
ed, not to "a designing, when the
same is carefully read me analysed
1t is due Mr.. Swisher to give his
platform just what it deserves, and
not fair or right to purposely mis-,
.construe 1t, as his past record
shows he has laways stood and
fought faithfully and well for thu
success of the Republican party and
the PRONUNCIATION of its principles.

The Grafton Sentinel hands Sena-

Another former West Virginia
newspaper man. Hon. Stuart r.
Reed, of ~Clarksburg. is a candidate
for a state office. Mr.. Reed was for
many years editor of the Clarksburg
Telegram and was while in the edi-
torial harness counted among the
states ablest and brightest newspa-
per writer's. He is now a candidate
for Secretary of State. No better
nomination for the Office could he
made by the Republican party in
its coming convention for the selec-
ton of a State ticket. Reed is able
and brainy."

Swishcr's Platform

Charles w. Swisher's platform
frankly sets forth his position on
the important questions OF the day
in reference to West Virginia gov
eminent n conforms to what his
party advocates.
The policies of the Republican par
ty during the administration Of
Governor Atkinson, White and Daw-
son are uuequivocally endorsed by
him. He pledges himself not only %
carry out these progressive policies
but also to make progress in such
new problems as will naturally come
up in the advanced strides this State
is making. at all times studying the
welfare and interest of the people
and earnestly advocating such prin-
ciples and legislation as will pro-
mote this welfare n interest. None
can deny that his course n pledge
in this are the same as that of his
party, which las not only endorsed
The previous Republican administra-
tions and platforms but goes for
ward just rs Mr.. Swisher pledges
himself to do.
Again, the new tax system as in
stituted by the Republican party
and administered by the state ad-
min%istration. to use his own Ian
guage is "un~regervedly and %unequiv-
ocally" endorsed by him. Instead
of saying he would take a step back
ward. he says he will go forward
and perfect the system. That is
exactly what Governor Dawson has
said time and again, and. which all
Republican newspapers, which advo-
cate this system, have all the time
endorsed. He says he believes these
laws should be executed by those
who believe in them and not by
their enemies. We all believe the
same way On his point.
The great majority of the party
and doubtless ali of 1t believes there
should be a railroad commission in
West Virginia. The Telegram and
many other Republican papers have
long bee advocating the creation OF
sue commission. Mr.. Swisher be-
lieves there should. be such a COM
mission and promises fair and just
legislation along his line to all.
Does the party want any other than
just and fair legislation? II 50,
it has not said so.
On the liquor question the great
majority of people believe local ~
lion shout prevail like ii does IN
other States. While the Republi-
can party is largely responsible for
the temperance legislation in ma
ton and State. which now exists

NO GAMES
OF Football Here or At Orator..
But Interesting Games at
Other Places.

No football games are being play
ed in the city today, This is the
first Saturday for some time that
as passed without some kind of a
football argument being pulled off
IN local grounds.
The Fairmont Freddy Macks" re-
fused to bring the Tigers to that
city as per arrangement and con
sequently the Tigers are without a
game as notice hat the game would
not be played was not given until
late yesterday afternoon. The IT.
gers are very much disappointed
over the action OF the Fairmont
team.
The Tigers have arranged for q
T anksgiving game with the Man
nington team which will be played
in this city and the contest should
be a good one byond a doubt.
The local high school team was
to have played Grafton. at Grafton,
today. but Wednesday the Grafton
manager wired that the team was
in such a had condition that they
would be unable to play. Clarks-
burg gets credited with a victory
although they will not have to play
the game. This leaves Clarksburg
with only one more gameto playa
postponed game with Fairmont. The
date as not been settled upon yet
but it is likely the game will be
40 ,ro5 - TTnfr~,~at NT.1-,,,t1-
80.
The Indians, of Carlisle Court
journeyed to Fairmont today for
their first game away from home.
They will play the Fairmont high
school second team and as the In
dams have not been beaten this year
it is safe to predict that they will
give a good account of themselves.
The Varsity Alumni game at
Morgantown yesterday was a good
article of football. The game was
played in the place of the game with
the State College which was can
celled. The object was to give the
Varsity a good practice for the
coming w. & J. game Thanksgiving
Day at Little Washington, and it
proved to be all the Varsity was
looking for from start to finish as
they had to play hard ball TO win.
Several old men returned to help
out in the game and for the first
thirty minutes of play the Varsity
was outplayed in every branch of
the game. Toward the last part of
the second half the old stars weak
ened and the Varsity succeeded in
crossing the goal line twice, win
ming by the score of IL to o.
The old stars only chance TO
score was in the first half when Carr
tried for a drop kick but failed.
Once an old star player got loose
for a clear field but was tackled
from behind by one of the West
Virginia speedy backs.

Quotations

Mower County transcript., 1907-06-12

"Just a little longer, knowing that
she cares for me. I'VE never been free
to have the love of woman the way
you will some day, though I've hum
gered and sickened for it-for Wom-
an who would understand and be
close. But this girl has been the soul
of it some way. See here, Follett, lot
her stay this summer, or until I'm
dead. That cans be long time. I've
felt the end coming for year now.
Let her stay, believing in me. Let me
know to the last that I'm the only man
who has been in her heart, who has
won her confidence and her love. Oh,
l mean fair. You stay with us your
self and watch. Come-but look there,
look, mani"
"Well.-what?"
"That candle is going out,-we'H be
in the dark"-he grasped the others
arm-''in the dark, and now I'm afraid
again. Don't leave me here! It would
be an awful death to die. Here's that
thing now on the bed behind me. It's
trying to get around in front where
I'll have to see it-get another candle.
No-don't leave me,-this one will go
out while you're gone" All his
strength went into the grip on Fol-
let's arm. The candle was sputtering
in it's pool of greAse.
There, it's gone-now don't, don't
leave me. It's trying to crawl over
mel smell the blood"
"Well-lie down there-it serves
you right. There-stop it'll stay
with you"
Until dawn Follett sat by the bunk,
submitting his arm to the others fren-
Aied grip. From time to time he some
what awkwardly uttered little words
that were meant to be soothing, as he
would have done to a frightened child.
When morning brought the gray
light into the little room, the haunted
man fell into a doze, and Follett, gent.
ly unclasping the hands from his arm,
arose and went softly out. He was
cramped from sitting still SO long, and
chilled, and his arm hurt where the
other had gripped it. He pulled back
the blue woollen sleeve and saw above
his wrist livid marks where the nails
had sunk into his flesh.
Then out of the room back of him
came a sharp cry, as from one who
had awakened from dream of terror,
He stepped to the door again and
looked in.
"There now-don't be scared any
more. The daylight has come; it's all
right-all right-go to sleep now
He stood listening until the man he
had come to kill was again quiet. Then
he went outside and over to the creek
back of the willows to bathe in the
fresh running water.

Ruei Follett's Way of Business.
BY the time the women were stirring
that morning, Follett galloped up on
his horse Prudence saw him from
the doorway as he turned in from the
main road, sitting his saddle with ap-
parent carelessness, his arms loose
from the shoulders, shifting lightly
with the horses motion, as one who
had made the center of gravity his
slave. It was a style of riding that
would have made scandal in any
riding school,; but it seemed to be we'll
calculated for the quick halts, sudden
swerves, and acute angles affected by
the yearling steer in his moments OF
excitement. J"-.
He dismounted, glowing from his
bath in the icy water of the creek and
from the headlong gallop up from Bell
Wardle's corral. ...
Good morning, Miss Prudence"
Good morning, Mr.. Follett. Will
you take breakfast with us directly? p
Eyes, and it can't be. too directly
for me. I'm wolfish. Miss Prudence,
your pa and me had some talk last
night, and I'm going to bunk in with
you all for awhile, till get some bust
ness fixed up" &'~ h4..% .s
She smiled with unaffected gladness,
and he noticed that her fresh morning
color was like that Of the little wild
roses he had lately brushed the dew
from along the creek.
''We shall be glad to have YOU,
It's right kind Of you: I'm proud to
hear you say so." He had taken of
the saddle with it's gay colored Nav
ajo blanket, and the bride Of plated
rawhide with its conchos and it's silver
bit. Now he rubbed the back of his
horse where the saddle had been, end
ing with a slap that sent the beast OF
with head down and glad heels in the
air.
He carried the saddle and bride into
the house, and she followed him.
Whatever the nature Of Mr.. Follett's
business, his confidence IN the sound.
ness Of his attitude toward 1t was per
feet, He showed no sign Of abstrac.
ton or anxiety; no sign of aught but
a desire to live agreeably in the pres
ent,--a present that included Pru.
dence. When the early breakfast was
over they went out about the place,
through the peach orchard and the
. vineyard still deWy, lingering in the
shade Of q plum tree, finding all mat
ters to be Of interest. For time they
watched and laughed at the two calves
through the bars Of the corral, cavortt-
ing feebly on stiffened legs while the
bereayed mothers cast languishing
glances at them from outside, con
scious that their milk was being base:
" diverted from the rightful heirs.
