THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

There is no question but hat the
message Of the president asking for
an employers liability act. an act pro
tecting employees of the government
and a general strengthening of the in.
terstate commerce and antitrust laws
will pass into history as the strongest
document that ever emanated from the
White house. Every sentence strikes
from the shoulder. Loyalty to home,
fidelity to the nation and honesty be,
tween man and man are the cardinal
principles enunciated. 1t will not suit
the successfully dishonest" but it
will appeal to every man who has pure
motives and the courage to do right,
President R%oosevelt's contention
that the government should be first to
set the example of taking are of EN-,
ployes injured in the service will ap'
peal to the sense of justice and fair
play so characteristic Of the American
people. There is no more reason why
such people should not be cared fol
than there would be to permit those
injured in wal to go without assist,
ance Both are in the service of their
government and are entitled to its pro.
lection when injured in such employ
men
If the men who AVE become ire.
~mendously rich through dishonest prac,
tees can find any consolation in the
message they are certainly entitled to
it. He does not spare any of them
from the Millionaire Standard Oil man
to the land thief of the west.
1t is a message that should be fran.
ed and hung at the American fresides
for constant reference. 1t will do more
toward checking wr~ong-doing han an
act of congress or the enforcement OF
penal statutes.

toI perform, either In the way Of house,
hdld cares\or in social duties and func'
tidls Whish\seriously lax their strength,
as weH nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's

Bear in mind, please hat DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription Is not q secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because Of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TON, a full list of all Its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination OF this list Of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it IL
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refined glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
In its makeup. In this connection II
may not be out Of place to state that the
uFavorite Prescription" Of DR.. Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure Of
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients OF which have the un-
animous endorsement Of all the leading

To Our Business Men,

Don't advertise if you believe you

put him out of business. Fix his clock

laugh at him when you see him squan-
dering his money for printers ink.
Once there was a boy named John
i think his last name was Wanna
maker-anyhow his name was John
with some sort of a maker attached
to his name. He owned 500 yards of
calico, three rolls of jeans and a half
dozen pairs of boots. He called this
a dry goods store through a Philadel-
phia paper, and offered to sell a pair
of socks for 81 cents. They don't-be,
lievein advertising merchants laughed.
Young John spent s65 with the Phila-
deiphia Ledger to advertise Just one
time and had less than 800 worth of
goods.
He was cautioned by those who
knew it didn't payi' 1t was through
sympathy that they offered him advice.
But John didn't listen to them, and
went and blew his money in foolishly
and today poor John e his misdo-
ings-he has SO many large dry goods
stores that he can hardly find time to
study his Sunday-school lesson-En.
