That the President is actively inter
ested in all that concerns the welfare
and prosperity of the American people
will hardly be questioned. He is now
turning his attention to the problem of
bringing about better social, sanitary
and economic conditions on American
farms, and has asked five experts to
make an investigation into the whole
matter and report to him with recon-
mendations for improvements. OF
course President Roosevelt recognizes,
as do all intelligent observers, that
there has already been great improve
ment in these conditions, due to the in
creased facilities for communication
with business centres, the introduction
of the telephone, the establishment OF
rural free delivery, the advent OF the
Grange with its social and educational
features, and the steady advance OF the
good roads movement. 1t will be IN
teresting to discover whether President
Roosevelt's commission to study con-
ditions of farm life will be able to de-
wise any practical plans to quicken and
extend the movement which already is
progressing with constantly increasing
force to render the lot of the farmer
more comfortable and attractive.

The Baltimore Sun, the leading
Democratic daily of Maryland, and per
haps the most influential paper in the
State, will shine for Taft. This is a
pretty sure indication that Maryland
will be found in the Republican column
in November next. In fact, the State
has gone Republican in the last three
Presidential elections. In 1896 by 49,
900, in 1900 by II, 900, and in 1904 by only
81. This year the Republican majority
promises to be substantial one.

The Democratic attempt to drag the
Grange into politics by nominating
former State Master for Governor is
evidently destined to end in failure, and
their attacks upon the Republican
candidate, who is held in high esteem
by thousands of patrons OF husbandry,
can only prove detrimental to their
cause. In practical sense the Grange
is undoubtedly the leading organization
in Maine today, and socially as we'll as
in other directions it is doing good
work. Its membership includes men,
and women, who may differ widely on
political issues, as well as in religious
preferences, but who are loyal men,
bers of the grange and loyal citizens.

thew are to stand up and be counted

Medicine Free I'm Every Case Where
They Fail To Cure Catarrh
Neglect or pessimism we believe is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically
every case of consumption might have
been cured Ii hope had been main
tained and proper treatment had been
resorted to at the first symptom of
the disease. Untilthe advanced stage
10 reached, consumption Is durable
Catarrh Is responsible, we believe, for
every case of consumption. 1t is
about catarrh we want To talk to you
today incidentally consumption, since
the two are so closely allied.
We have medicine made from the
prescription of one of the most sue
cessfui catarrh specialists known
This medicine has record of 9S per
cent OF cures and we believe it is posi-
lively without an equal. We are SO
satisfied that we are right, that we
will supply the medicine free in every
instan> where 1t is used according to
directions for a reasonable length of
time and fails to cure and give salts
faction In every particular We
want everyone in Bedding to try this
medicine at our risk. There are no
conditions or formality attached to
our offer. We put the user under no
obligation to Us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try Is
Rcxall Mucu-Tone. 1t Is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
OF trouble. 1t Is carried by the blood
to every part of the system. 1t seeks
out and destroys the germs or para
sites which cause catarrh. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, tones up the
muco-cells, soothes and heals the it's
sues that were ravaged by the ca
tarrhal parasite. and brings about a
condition of health and strength that
prevents the germs of consumption
from ever getting start. Besides
this, Rexall Mucu-Tone Is wonderful
appetizer, digestive aid and flesh
builder. It's good effects are felt from
the very 6rst dose. 1t is one of the
largest and most satisfactory selling
medicines that we have ever had
anything to do with. We know so
much of the great good that it has
done that we personally back it up
with our reputation and money, which
fact should be ample guarantee to
satisfy anybody.
