he reported himself cured of the
kidney trouble, which had bothered
him for years.
How did ElectrO-Vigor do this9
Simply by removing the cause and
giving nature the power to cure.
The rheumatism was caused by
the kidney trouble, and the reason
for the kidney trouble was a lack
of strength and vitality in those
organs.
Electricity, which is vitality, was
all that was needed. With that
force restored, the life and activity
of the kidneys was renewed, en-
abling them to cleanse the blood of
all impurities and the cause of
rheumatism.
When the cause of disease is re-
moved, nature makes a quick cure.
Electro-Vigor is the only success.
full device for infusing electricity
into the body. Its touch is gentle,
soothing, without sting or burn, yet
SO powerful and invigorating that
you can feel the improvement after
one application. Electro Vigor cures,
and l can prove it to you.

LAST MESSAGE
OF PRESIDENT
Theodore Roosevelt Sends
His Annual Recommended
lions To Congress Noon.
ILLUSTRATIONS WITH 1T

Washington, Dec. S.-Following the
usual procedure in such cases, the two
houses Of congress adjourned today
after listening to the reading Of the
message from the president
The reading was followed with in
terest by most of the senators and rep
resentatives, there being general
feeling that this mark of attention was
due to the last annual message sent to
congress by President Roosevelt The
salient points were closely followed
Interest in the short session of con-
gress is centered in the changes In the
senate committees due to the death of
Senator Allison, who was chairman of
the committee on appropriations, the
most important on the list with the
possible exception of the finance com
mittee. There will be few changes of
Importance in the house of represent
atives.
Senator Hale of Maine is the ranking
member of the senate appropriations
committee. During the short session,
however, Mr.. Hale may retain his
place as chairman of the naval COM
mittee and at the same time be acting
chairman of the appropriation com
mittee. This would make him easily
one of the two most influential men IL
the senate. the other being Senator
Aldrich Of Rhode Island, chairman of
the committee on finance.
The two floor leaders, Serene e.
Payne Of New York, Republican, and
Champ Clark of Missouri, Democrat,
were early in their seats, and each
was accorded hearty greeting.
Congress was given an object les
son in the message. The President
was the pedagog and the subject
deforestation. In connection with
his remarks on the conservation Of
the forests, the message had half
tone reproductions of photograph phs
showing the shocking results of the
tim Der waste in Northern China and
Eastern Asia, all taken by special
agent of the agricultural depart
ment.
This is the second time an Illus
trated Presidents message has been
sent to congress. The former occa-
sion was after the Presidents nota-
BILE trip to Panama.

EXCITEMENT IN
CHIMNEY FIRE
Four Companies Answer
Alarm but There Is Little
Need for Their Services.
DEKALB AVENUE SCENE

A slight blaze in a chimney, that
caused practically no damage but
lots of excitement, occurred about 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The fiue of a chimney ON a two
and-a-half-story frame house, at the
northwest corner of Mechanic street
and DeKalb avenue, was ablaze and
an alarm from box No. AZ was
sounded by youth who saw the
flames issuing from the top of the
chimney
The Protection Hook & Ladder
truck, Lincolns, McClellans and
Washingtons were hurriedly on the
scene, but 1t only required a small
stream of water to subdue the fre.
The chimney was of the old-fash-
ioned crooked sort, and 1t somewhat
inconvenienced the firemen in prop
erly fighting the blaze. Neverthe-
less, small stream was turned into
the chimney and the blaze was out
In a short time. The building,
though of frame construction, was
not in danger of being ignited, but
frightened in the excitement and
started to pack their belongings, so
as to have them ready for a hurried
removal, should conditions necessi-
tate such action.
Patrolman Tonneson was on the
scene and attempted to discover who
turned in the alarm, but his search
was made in vain, for the lad failed
to appear after the alarm had been
sounded.

STRIKE OF |. v.
CARREPAIRERS
Seventy-five Men Refuse to
Go to Work Today May
Close Department.
WANTED PIECE WORK PAY

About seventy-five men who have
been employed as car repairers in
the Lehigh Valley car shops went on
strike this morning.
According to an official of the
company, the men made no dem ands
on their employers today, but SIM
ply did not start work. AS a result,
the men will now remain out of en-
ployment, perhaps, for the company
has decided not to dicker further
with them, and will take the work to
other points of this division. The
men will be paid off this afternoon
and discharged from the company's s
employ.
The men were working on piece
work and did not make as much
money as formerly. Several months
ago the company acceded to their
demands and placed them on hours
pay. Since then some of the men
claim they could not make as much
as before.
According to officials, the depart
ent in which these men were en-
ployed may be closed.
