he may arrive at the truth when he
is surrounded by the conflict OF inter
ests which come 70 him with the fair
words of the special pleader.
In many senses, though the most
sought after, he is the loneliest man
in the United States. Elected direct
" by the people, their representative
head. from them, in the sober Thought
OF the majority, he viii get his best
counsel. They. as whole. view pub
lie affairs unselfishly. Though indiffer-
ence or preoccupation with private af-
fairs NAV keep them from attending
primaries OF scanning closely either
candidate or measures. they can cen
for on the President as their instru-
ment the expression of their. wishes.
He should be always near the people
in thought. and as near them In per-
son as his position will admit. In COM
mon with the people, he is human
and he must ask their charity for his
mistakes. When they have ceased
to believe in his sincerity and upright
ness of purpose, his is a cherries
task.
Once convicted that he has OWNED
and Is carrying out their real wish,
neither elated by any ephemeral out
burst Of applause nor diverted by any
outburst OF censure, he must proceed
unwaveringly, always by lawful meth
DDS, to the accomplishment Of the

T. easter since we had Lincoln than
1t was before to be a good president.
He set a standard.
1t remained for Roosevelt to prove
how the people will respond TO a
strong and true leadership when the
hour has come for great reforms.
The policies which he inaugurated
must be continued and developed.
They are right and they are the poll
cies of the people. For that reason
his successor may well disregard any
charge OF lack OF originality IL he
does not make an entirely new pro-
gramme of his own.
A President at this time has work
before him clearly defined. The en-
forcement Of the law. equally against
high and low. the powerful and the
weak, should be his first thought.
The danger to our country from
laxity or favoritism in this is the
greatest one we have to face. The
conservatism OF our natural resources
and their development for the use
of all along the lines of equal oppor-
tunity, too. must command his i'm

Health Hints.

The observance of a few SIM
ple rules will add much to the
much to the health and comfort
af those living in a warm climate
like ours during the summer.
Avoid the use of meat as rrpch
as possible, especially old
meat. Besides being a he
ducer and hard to digest,lt is
calcareous matter and is su.
bring on premature old age, Fl
matism and general decrepit
1t lays the foundation for mat
diseases that might otherwis
never have gained foot-hold IL
the human system. Nature never
intended the stomach to be used
as a cemetery.
Eat plenty of sound, ripe fruit
and vegetables and home butter,
and drink good, fresh buttermilk.
It's strange to US that there are
so few good cows in this land
of Goshen, and so few that know
how, or are willing, to take care
of one. A good COW is worth
$3.50 to any family outside the
health considerations.
Frequent bathing is great for
hot and cold weather. | don't
mean like an alligator takes it.
A good sponge bath that can be
taken in a few minutes is better
than to roll around in the river
an hour or two hours. All YOU
want is to keep the skin clean and
the pores open. A good basin
of water on the washstand and
an empty tub to stand in Is a
very good outfit. Wiring the towel
and scrub with it to finish.
Make it your business to drink
plenty of arteslan water fresh
from the spout. 1t is just the
right temperature for health as
as nature furnishes it. You do
not need to put ice in 1t.
