Medical authorities are agreed that
the blood is the great source of dis

tenn. If the blood is pure, the indi-
vidual is strong and healthy, IL the
blood is impure or diseased then
there is sickness or decay in the
whole system.
Rheumatism is strictly a 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 one mus,
have good clean blood and lots OF Il.
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 backache. nervous
ness bladder and urinary difficulties
and other sympathetic troubles.
Here is a simple home remedy and
the recipe for making 1t up is as fol-
lows:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in, teaspoonful 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 disease which should re-
lieve rheumatism and catarrhal az
fections and replace that weak, worn

Mhy Not Taft2 !.

The voice of Iowa Republicans is
for Taft, says the Sioux City (Ia)
journal. Shall the will of the peo-
pie govern? William H. Taft has
made good in the public stations to
which he has been called. And it
is we'll to emphasize the fact that he
has been called. He retired from
judicial office to accely the response
bility of the governorship of the
Philippine Islands. He has put be-
hind him opportunity to go upon the
supreme bench of the United States
because 1t was made to appear that
his service elsewhere could not we'll
be spared. He is the trusted ad-
wiser and friend of Theodore Roose-
welt, in whom the people of Iowa
have large confidence. 1t is known
in this state, as it is known else
where. that the President would be
delighted to have the Republican ma
tional convention name Taft as the
standard bearer of the party in the
campaign of 1908.
Why not Taft?
The influence of the state admin
istration has been steadily directed
against the Ohio man. 1t was con-
tended that the President himself
must" accept another term, The
contention was made in the name of
superior loyalty to the Roosevelt
policies and in the name of superior
leadership of the present chief exec
utive. The President has made plain
that he is not to be considered for a
third term.
Why not Taft?
Unable to go on with the name of
Roosevelt, ythe state administration
is not yet willing to offer proof of
faith in Roosevelt by saying the next
friend of the President shall have the
states support Instead it is said
the Taft suggestion has gathered no
strength. Instead it has been said
the support of Roosevelt should be
Withdrawn and the state placed in the
guardianship of the state administra-
TONS candidate for the Allison sue
cession in the senate of the United
States.
Why not Taft?.
The adviser and friend of the
President has made good in every
station to which he has beeh called.
He is man of large ability and cor
respondending modesty. He has ad-
hered to the policy of falthfulness.
He is a man of sincerity. He is a
splendid type of the citizen in public
trust
Why not Taft?
Iowa Republicans can we'll sup
port the secretary of war and pre-
serve consistency in all they have
professed in recent years. They
can well give strength to his stand
ard to the incidental end of reunit-
ing themselves in the bonds of har-
mony. This they can do in all good
conscience.

Oh" she said, vexed, II had no idea
you were vindictive."
There was silence. He bent for
ward trifle, gravely scrutinizing a

might not have astonished him to
learn that somebody's foot had held
the brush. Somewhere In the vicinity
Grace Ferrall had discovered a woman
who supported dozens OF relatives by
painting that sort Of thing for the
summer residents at Vermilion Point,
down the coast. So, being charitable,
she left an order and, being thrifty.
insisted on using the cards spite Of
her husbands gibes.
People were now inspecting them
with more or less curiosity. Siward
found his hand painting" SO unat-
tractive that he had just tipped 1t over
to avoid seeing 1t, when burst of
laughter from Lord Alderdene made
everybody turn. Mrs. Vendenning was

for awhile. Rena Bonnesdel possessed
herself Of the drawing and held it up,
amid shout of laughter, and, to his
excessive annoyance, Siward saw that
unconsciously he had caricatured
Quarter, Ferrall's malicious request
for Vandyke beard making the carl
cature dreadfully apparent.
Quarter had at first flushed up: then
he forced smile, but his symmetrical
features were never cordial when he
smiled.

Sylvia Lands apprehensively. "Mr.
Quarter dislikes that sort Of thing,

asked Siward, biting his lip.
"Yes-so Blinky says-in the Caro-
lfnas last season. It's Blinky; that's
his notion of humor. Did you ever
hear such a laugh? No wonder Mr..
Quarter is annoyed"
The gay uproar had partly subsidized,
renewed here and there as the sketch
was passed along and. finally making
the circle, returned like a bad penny,
to Quarter. He smiled again symmet-
really as he received it, nodding his
compliments to Alderdene.

in the world has been illustrated by so many
famous artists. 1t is easy to see some of the
reasons which have made it a favorite subject.
First, there is the religious interest which
centers in the entrance of the Divine Saviour
into the world. Such an event, for all who be-
lieve in the Christian religion, must have a
profound significance. 1t is the sunrise of
faith. the beginning of a new spiritual world,
the laying of the cornerstone of the kingdom
of heaven on earth. Even if the artist himself
were not sure of this, did not altogether be-
lieve it. he would know that other people be-
lieved it; and by the imagination he could see
what a supreme importance was given by the
faith of Christendom to the brief and simple
story of the birth at Bethlehem.
Second, there is the human interest which
clings to the ever beautiful relation of mother
hood and childhood. The tenderest ind most
unselfish love is that with which a true moth
er looks upon her little child; the most perfect
innocence and ~trustful joy are revealed in the
deep eyes of the baby who smiles into the face
of his mother bending over him. The paint
ings of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary
have drawn into themselves the best thoughts
of men concerning the gracious secret of ma
ternity and the unstained bliss of infancy.
Fantastic Legends.
Third, there is the poetic and pictorial inter-
est which grows out of the incidents of the
SIO1N. lLS ollohSS III oS6 NHS
ly significance of the birth of Christ and it's
outward circumstances, the blending of light
AMI shade, joy and sorrow, hope and fear, an
selic songs and earthly prosecutions. All these
varied clements, centering about a single figure,
afford a field of illumination and illustration
such as art loves.
Nv first advice, then, to those who wish
thoroughly to appreciate and enjoy these pic
lures would be to read and re-read the gospel
of St. Matthew from the eighteenth verse of
the first chapter to the end of the second chap
fer and the first two chapters of st. Luke's
gospel. Then it would be wise to read some
of the later legends which were woven in the
apocrvphal books. and in the medieval poems
and narratives about the birth and childhood
of Christ. Many of these legends are curious
and fantastic, evidently categorical and symbol
cal They have none of the simple directness
and quiet restraint of the Biblical history.
They are, in effect, clear Illustrations of that
native trait of the human mind-familiar to
everv one who has tried to tell a true story
70 a cbiId-the craving for picturesque detail.
How did it happen? Where did it happen?
Who was there? How did they look? What
did they do afterwards" These are the ques-
tions that children ask when they hear a story;
and these are the questions to which men have
given fanciful answers in the. apocryphal and
mediaeral legends, such as the protevangelium
of 81. James. the gospel of st. Thomas, the
oosneI of the pseudo-M Matthew. The history of
the nativity of Mary, the golden legend OF Jaco-

make us feel the innocence and lovely grace of
Mary's life; if he has shown us the quiet work
with which she is busy; the sweet order of her
room which images the tranquility of her soul;
this also is we'll. But the great thing is that
he should perceive and show, as simply as pos
sible, the charm of that perfect figure OF maiden
hood, no rude peasant girl, but one with royal
blood in her veins and heavenly thoughts in
her heart.
The Nativity.
2. The pictures of the Nativity have a great
err variety of incidents and of modes of presen-
tation. The simplest are those which show
Mary and Joseph in the stable with the child;
then come those in which the angels appear,
or the shepherds came to pay their alteration;
another conception represents the mother
alone with her babe adoring him or nursing
him. Pictures of the presentation in the tenn
pie, and perhaps some of the Madonna and
Child belong to the general theme of the Ma
tivity because their central idea is the advent
of Christ as a little babe.
Here the painters have found a wide
field for Imagination, and have used large
liberty in expressing the feelings with which
different persons drew near 10 the holy child.
Mary is almost always shown as wondrously
happy; sometimes, as in Murillos Alteration
of the Shepherds" lifting the cloth that COW
ers the child and displaying him with gentle
pride.
8. With the Alteration of the Magi, a new ele-
ment comes into the scene. These wise men
from the east, whether they were kings or
not, were the representatives of the outside
world.
There are pictures which show the Magi on
their journey led by a star, sometimes
shining in the form of a babe in the sky; and
others which show them at the court OF
Herod asking their way; and others which
show them being warned by an angel in a
dream not to go back to Jerusalem; and 9TH
ers which show them returning by sea to their
own country. But the great majority of paint
ers have chosen the moment at which the
gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh were
presented to the child. Here there is room for
splendid color and dramatic contrast.
4. The Flight into Egypt is the contrasting
companion-piece to the Alteration of the Magi.
The one brings the great world into the dwell
ing of the Child Jesus; the other carries the
Child Jesus out into the great world.
Story of the Flight.
The pictures of this subject fall into two

the painters and embodied in their pictures.
Suppose you have a picture of the Annuncia-
ton which represents Mary as passing through
a garden when the angel came to her; that is
in accordance with the Protevangelium, which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins of Nazareth to spin the royal
purple of the Temple veil; one day, as
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher of water, the angel met her and said:
Hail, thou who art full of grace!" and when
she went back to her spinning he came again
to her to complete his message. If the picture
represents Mary in the house, working at the
veil, the artist has chosen to show us the Sec
ond appearance of the angel. The emblems
which the artists put into their pictures are
significant. The pot of lilies at Mary's side,
the lily-branch in the angels hand symbolic
purity. The olive-bough borne by the dove
means peace.
Or here is a picture of the nativity which
shows the Child and his mother and Joseph in
a cave. This is according to the account of
Justin Martyr land quite in harmony with
the customs of Palestine), that the stable of
the inn where Christ was born was a grotto
in the rocks. Here perhaps you see the OK
and the ass bowling their heads before the
child. This is told by the gospel of the pseudo
Matthew in fulillment of the prophecy of
Isaiah: 1.-THE OK knoweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib" Here, again, is a daz-
zling supernatural light radiating from the
child, so that shepherds who have just entered
must shade their eyes. This detail is given
in many legends.
How the Story Develops.
The five chief points around which the paint
ings Of the birth and childhood of Christ nat
urally group themselves are % The Annun-
citation; ~ The Nativity; CD The Alteration
of the Magi; () The Flight Into Egypt; 60
The Home at Nazareth
L. The Annunciation comes from the first
chapter of st. Luke, and with it are associated
two minor incidents, the visit of Mary to her
cousin Elizabeth, and the birth Of John the
Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. The painters
have delighted to show us the virginia. beauty
and meekness of Mary; the joy with which the
angel brought his message, and the awe and
wonder with which she received the new con-
ception of her son as the Son of the Highest,
the Saviour of his people. No picture of the
Annunciation is good in which this wonder and
this joy are not expressed. If in addition the
painter has chosen to put in many details to
