ReIief From Rooaevelt.

Charleston News and Courier.
 When the Republicans in Chicago re- moved the menace of four years more of Rooseveltism they accomplished Tor which all American citizens should he grateful and, moreover. their gratitude should also be stirred toward Theodore Roosevelt himself. whose word is not nomination that would have alarmed the sober and rational people or the United States and would have excited forebod- ings throughout the world. All of us may look forward to the retirement of MT. Roosevelt on the fourth day of next March with emotions of huge relief and wish that his retirement may be hap py, permanent, and complete.

DO NOT NEGLECT
 THIN BLOOD
It Means an Anamin Condition
 Which is Always Dangerous.
Taken in Time Aaaemfa is Readily Cur able But it fs . Disease Which Gradually Progresses Toward
 The IncmrahIe.

Anaernia, or poverty of the blood. is recognized by the characteristic symp-
 toms of languor. paleness of lips. checks
 and gums. dull eyes, loss of appetite,
 shortness of breath and paipitation of
 the heart upon the slightest exertion. If neglected the disease slowly and
 gradually progresses until hope of re-
 covery is readily curable. the specific
 being tonic medicine which increases the number of red blood -corpuscles thus
 enabling the blood to carry the life- giving oxygen to all the tissues of the body. Such a tonic is. pr. Williams
 Pink Pills. These pills have had un- bounded success in curing this stubborn disease because of this wonderful property. The cure of anaennia by pr. Williams Pink Pills Is as certain as anything in medical science.
 Mrs. Clair Kellsy, of 43 Colvin Street, Battle Creek, Mich. whose husband is an engineer on the Grand Trunk Rail. way. running fatween Battle Creek and Chicago. has rs3Ssy been cured of anaemia ans str of. her ease as fol- lows: Hl-- r.
 T am only too glad to tell what pr. Williams Pink Fills have done for me. for when I began to take them I was suffering with anaemia and had been told by the doctors that I was going into consumption. had no blood to speak of and my complexion was as white as chalk. I had no appetite and for . long time ate nothing but q cracker at'a meal There was great deal of gas on my stomach. causing distressed feeling. was short of breath, had paipitation of the heart and a duli. heavy headache. My feet were cold. there were sharp pains in my limbs and grew very weak, being confined to bed for a month.
 T was treated by a doctor for about g year, but grew no better. Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills were recommended to me by friend at Bay City and. as they had cured her of anaennis. decided to try them. A few boxes relieved me and took them until cured. now have a good appetite and my sickness has left me. I can recommend the pills knowing them to be as represented and hope my statement will be a help to other sufferers"
 A helpful booklet Diseases of the Blood" giving more information about anaemia will be sent free upon request If you are suffering from impoverished blood you cannot afford to wait an- other day before giving pr. Williams Pink Pulls thorough trial. They are for sale by all druggists. or will be sent. postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50 by the pr.

Count ins 1t in English tons the shipments above made for one year would be something more than five million pounds. and this. it must be remember. cd was to only one city. How much rabbit meat was sent to other places we have no means of knowing.
 The suggestion that here may be an opportunity to obviate the scarcity and high prices of meats in this country is not a wild one by any means Rab- bit meat may not be as good or as popular as some other kinds of animal flesh but might well be used as a sub- stitute. and when properly prepared it is both wholesome and nourishing More than once of late we have read accounts of rabbit drives" in some of the Western States, where the farmers and others get together and round up and slaughter the animals in immense numbers. just as they would rid the country of wolves or other trouble some pests. A very small portion of the meat is used for food but by far the greater part is left to rot where it lies. If the meat thus wasted could be canned or otherwise preserved we see no reason why there should not be a demand for it where other animal food is scarce or expensive.
 Aside from the wild animals, how ever, would not rabbit farms be profitable industry. provided there should be worked up a demand for the fiesh7 No member of the animal kingdom. so far as we are informed. breeds so rapidly or requires so little care and attention in the raising. and doubtless this kind of meat can be raised cheaper than any other flesh food in this country. Protection from dogs and plenty of vegetable. food. with little clean water to drink is about all they would require, and the crop would be practically a continuous one. There may not be .'millions in it." but we can see uo reason why 1t would not pay.

The Battle Ground.

New Orleans States.
 Representative Scott, of Kansas, in an interview the other day said: The fight this year will be in the States of Illinois. Ohio. Indiana. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebras- ka instead of the East, where former contests have been determined. The reason for the change of battle ground is that the Roosevelt program is ex- ceedingly popular in those States. The people there want the program car ried forward and they are so earnest that if they see that 1t is necessary to elect a Democratic administration to carry it out the ywill vote the Demo- cratic ticket in November"
 There seems to be considerable justl- fication for MT. Scott's opinion that there is much danger in the Mlddir Western situation" and If recent re. ports be true the danger has been greatly increased recently by the spec. tacle of all the trusts and Wall Street interests Hooking in a body to the sup port of the candidacy of the 4lon. Viii liam Howard Taft. However, much this reversal of the attitude of the ''malefactors of great wealth." may help MT. Taft in the East 1t has had the effect of creating a profound and very bad impression in those States of the Middle West which 1t is admitted will determine the result of the Presidential contest this year.

There Is no panic. There IS no reason to expect one. If such contingency were imminent. the best and surest way to avoid it would be to patronize the hanks instead of the broken teapots. holes in the wall. old stockings. or even safety deposit boxes.

LEARNED BY SAD EXPERIENCE.
Kafr Lad Found Out Just What q
Beating Meant.

Just as Kafir is slow in locating
rain which is being experienced in his
own body, SO is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering A grown
up Kafir related, says Mr.. Dudley
Kidd, in Savage Childhood" that
when he was child his father threat
ened him with beating if he did
something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort OF thing beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his imagination WIS
unable to work on the sight and re-
construct the experience of these 9TH
ers into terms Of his own senses.
When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea Of how a
beating really felt. It took very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries Of his knowl-
edge.
Swift retribution followed the un-
pardonable sin Of showing disrespect
to his father. AS the children go
about entirely bare, there was no de-
lay for preparation. The father took
stick and applied it vigorously, "ac.
cording to directions" and with entire
success.
When the tears and smarting were
over" said the Kafir in his old age, 81
sat down and thought It over. We'll,
! said to myself, now know what IA
Their. means by a beating. 1 don't know
what Is the reason of it, but anyhow I
know what sort of thing a beating
Is I often laugh when 1 think how
stupid I was before that."--Youth's
Companion.

REMEDIES FOR ALL DISEASES
But No Particular Cure-Ail for Every
Malady.

Every disease has it's remedy, and
In t. Sc" :'ch' for that remedy hun
dreds Of cults of medicine have sprung
up. One man pins his faith in minute
doses of powerful drugs; anothe:
walks be-. 2foot over wet grass; an
other eats raw fruit and grain; one is
confident that mud Laths induce
health. and still another urges us to
chew each mouthful of food at least
30 times before swallowing. No
doubt, every one of these cures" is
or benefit to some form of disease
The mistake Of followers of the treat.
ments Is In thinking their particular
remedy a cure-all for every malady.
Ihere are no universal remedies. In.
deed, every type of disease must re.
ceiVe special attention and be treated

study have taught the medical profess

tain ills respond quickly to drugs, the
virtues of which are sometimes won
derfully effective. Others need moth
ing but fresh air; still others change

need no drugs and no Journeys to the
mountains, but are best relieved by
simple dieting.-Leslie's Weekly.

PARsoN LOOKED, BUT IN VAIN.
His Heart Grieved Over Fashionable
Follles Of His Wife.

A typical parson Of long ago, the
sternly consistent man who sounded
consciences regardless OF conse
quences, figures in recent book Of
"reminiscences, "Old Schuylkill Tales"
by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott.
Parson NJ, one of the early minis
tiers OF Pottsville, Pa, was never more
earnestly eloquent than when preach
Ing against the love Of dress. His
wife, Mrs. NJ, who was handsome
woman, nevertheless wore very elabo.
rate gowns, and openly avowed her In
terest In such frlvolities. The parson
expostulated against this love of dress
In private, but although she was an
excellent wife, and obedient to his
wishes In other respects, she pursued
her own way, in silk and lace.
One Sunday morning the minister
preached a sermon on humility, and
bore down upon tho vanities Of dress
most powerfully. At the Nconclusion
he leaned over the high board OF the
pulpit. his face pale and determined.
You may think" he said to his
congregation, when 1 preach against
the love OF dfess and the sin OF II
that I ought to look at home. Iwant
to tell you, dear friends, that do look,
and look until my heart aches."--
