NA/ subject OF an address by
Wv President Roosevelt to-day,
In which he paid notable
tribute to motherhood before a large
gathering OF Methodists at the Ameri-
can University, in course OF construc-

assemblage was composed principally
ference of the Methodist Episcopal.
Church, now in session in Baltimore.
What was to have been a feature OF
the occasion--a reception OF the dele
gates by the President and MRS. Roose-
welt in the College of History-was
abandoned. owing to an engagement
which the President previously had
made.
Pleased With Singing.
Perhaps no feature OF the exercises
occasioned the President more real de-
light than the singing by the German
members OF the general conference of
Elm Feste Burg 1st Unser Gott" "a
mighty fortress Is our God), a hymn
sung by the adherents Of Martin Luz
ther during the period of reformation.
That's fine exclaimed President
Roosevelt when the singing OF this
old hymn began. He added that 1t was
his favorite song. The President then
repeated a portion OF the first verse
OF the song in German-to the evident
delight of the assemblage.
An incident which perhaps created
the greatest enthusiasm was the de-
claration OF Bishop Earl Cranston. res

Bishop Cranston declared that he was

lifted politics 20 the plane of states

into the open: that he had taken the
people into his confidence because he
had nothing to conceal: that he was
fearless in rebuking iniquity. and that
he believed in a Judgment day for evil
doers.
The President followed. but before

Many Will Be Helped BY II.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take a teaspoOnful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and tortuous disease, but
dangerous to life, this simple recipe
will no doubt be greatly valued by
many sufferers here at home, who
should at once prepare the mixture to
get this relief.
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly dose
or two daily or even a few times
week, would never have serious kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserveit. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve, are scarce, indeed, and
you need it, you want it badly.
