Mr.. Wilson'S career is a remarkable
one. Born in Blantyre Scotland, in
lS62, he came to this country with his
parents in 1870. His father settled in
the coal mining regions, but was often
i'll and weak, so at nine years old
young Wilson went into the mines to
load on to wagons the coal the elder
Wilson had dug. For long time the
family was dependent upon the
amount shoveled by those little arms.

And keep the briny tears unshCd

A Nation Of CrippIes
Rheumatism Be-
yond Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Suffer
ers is Uric.0 Treatment

If rheumatism continues to spread
as it has in the past few years, 1t
would before long become n nation of
cripples, The terrible destructiyenesa
of this disease is apparent on every
side of us. Almost nine out OF ten OF
the cripples one meets had their allie
ton brought on by Rheumatism. How
many thousands more there are that
are hopelessly bed.ridden and whom
we never see. rheumatism, from the
very nature of the disease, can never
cure itself and if neglected is bound to
grow worse rather than better. If
you ever have twingS OF rheumatism
go to your druggist and get a bottle OF
Uric-O, the wonderful new Rheumatic
Specific 1t will cure you and 1t Is
the only treatment in the world that
viii cure YOU permanently and thor
oughly. Uric-O cures by its direct ac-
ton on the muscles, blood and kidneys.
1t seeks out the poisonous uric ard
rheumatic acid and drives it from the
system and IL Is only treatment oil
such nature that will ever cure rheu-
matism. liniments and plasters only
serve to drive 1t from one spot to am
other. They never cure Rheumatism
because it Is primarily a blood disease
and until the blood Is cleared from the
poison a cure cannot take place.
There never was case of Rheuma-
tism that Iric-O could not cure and
you should not put off taking ii. You
can test Uric-O free of charge II you
wish. Just cut out this advertisement
and send 1t to the Smith Drug Com
pany, Syracuse, N. Y, together with
your name and the name of your drug
gist and state that you have never
used Uric-O and would like to try 1t.
They will give you free, through Your
druggist, rs cent bottle, which you
can test and try to your own satisfac-
ton.

ENDORSES MESSAGE
William JENNINGS Bryan Gives Roose-
welt Credit.

PITTsBURG, Dec. ). r. William ].
Bryan. en- route to his home in Lincoln,
Neb.. arrived here from Washington.
BY appointment Mr.. Bryan met his
wife and daughter at the Fort Pitt
hotel The latter are bound for New
York, whence they will sail for Europe
on Saturday.
Mr.. Bryan will not accompany them,
he said as he has lecture engagements
which will keep him occupied fV some
time.
Mr.. Bryan was reluctant to discuss
President Rooscvelts message to con-
gress, saying he had not had sufficient
time TO read it through. He, however,
commented freely on several of the
most important issues and gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt credit for introducing
an original proposition In suggesting
the appropriation of campaign funds
by the government.
Il hope" he said, that II will be
enacted into law"
On important questions Mr.. Bryan's
ideas coincide with the text of the
message. He Is strictly in accord with
the president concerning postal saw
ings banks and guaranteed banks. He
said:
THE plan Of the guaranteed bank is
simply this: Statistics show the aver
age loss to depositors to be very small,
taking all the banks together But the
depositors are afraid because they do
not know much about the affairs Of
any particular bank. The postmaster
general in recommending the postal
savings bank called attention to the
fact that large sum of money Is sent
back to the government banks OF Eu-
the private banks here, and Mr.. Wanna
maker has been quoted as saying that
large sum is kept in boarding and
hiding places in this country.
IF this sum can be drawn into the
banks and thus be put into channels
of trade. it will relieve the stringency
more effectively than anything else.
The postal bank will do this 10 limit
ed extent. but not completely, for in
the plan proposed the depositors will
be limited as to each person, and there
will he no checking account allowed.
''The system of the guaranteed banks
contemplates the absolute guarantee by
the government of such banks rs may
| voluntarily enter into the system. In
entering the system they agree TO re-
imburse the government In proportion
TO their deposits for any losses incur
| red 10y the government in payment Of
! depositors in failed banks. During the
last forty years the average loss among
national banks has been less than one
tenth Of per cent of deposits. and, as
we have passed through two panics in
that time, 1t is not likely that the aver
age loss will be greater during the
next forty years.
"To sum up the situation, the depos-
itors need security, and this must Ell
ther be given by the postal savings
bank. which will grow until it has alb
sorbed the deposit banking of the coun-
try or II must be furnished through
the guarantee of existing banks"
