He was not on the platform. he said,
merely for the purpose of presenting a can

cord our great state which has unsuccess-
fully presented to you a candidate for
president. and is, I understand. the only
one of the states which presented a can
didate for president, now presenting TO you

ago, and which gives the residue of the

The value of the residue to which
Yale is entitled is about $450,000. The

money to the American college. He
paid only one short visit to the United
States in all his life and he had no
connections there.
Mr.. Rlount had lived for many years
at the Athenaeum. Club, but he left
there a year before he died and settled
himself in cheap lodgings. n circum-
stance which led his relatives to be-
lieve that he was not of fully sound
mind. and they threaten to contest the
will. Mr.. Blount died, however, in a
sanitarium attended by the best
specialists.

.BLOOD-MAKING
TONIC TREATMENT
A Cure for Anaemic Conditions That
Is Showing Remarkable Proofs
of Cures in Stubborn Cases.

When the body becomes run down,
either as result of over-work, worry
or a severe illness, an examination OF
tho blood would show it to be weak
and watery This condition is called
anacmic, which is the medical term for
"bloodless" The common symptoms
are paleness of the lips, gums and
cheeks. shortness of breath and palpi-
tatiOn of the heart after the slightest
exertion, duh eyes and loss of appe-
tite. Anaemia itself is a dangerous
disease and it may gradually pass into
consumption. 1t must be cured by
treating its cause, which is the poor
condition Of the blood. The vital fluid
must be made strong and healthy
thereby enabling it to carry the neces-
sary nourishment to every tissue of the
body.

occasional cough, and thus endangel
all the healthy cattle in the herd
"Tuberculin may, therefore. be con-
sidered a most beneficitl discovery for
the stock raiser. Strange to say. many
of these men have been incredulous
antagonistic. or prejudced against the
tuberculin test by misinterpreting pub
lshed statements, by incorrect, I'M
SubStantiated. or exaggerated reports
and by alleged injurious effects to
healthy cattle. Probably the
most popular objection to tuberculin is
that it is too searching, since it dis
covers cases in which the LESSONS are
small and obscure. While this fact is
admitted, it should also be borne in
mind that such a small lesion today
may break down and became widely
disseminated in a relatively short
period. Therefore any COW affected
with tuberculosis even to slight de-
gree must be considered as dangerous
not only to the other animals i'm the
herd but also to the consumer of her
products

Maine Sportsmen's Fish and Game
Association, returned recently from
