Good Advice.

SSS9 NaxfG&s
Good conduct cements endurina
friendship. Never press q favor when
It seems undesired. In conversation
never intrude ill-health, pains. losses
or misfortunes. Never talk or laugh
aloud in public places or in the street.
Never forget that vulgarity has its
origin In ignorance or selfishness.
Never urge another to do anything
against his desire unless you see
danger before him. Do not ask an
other to do what you would not be
willing to do yourself under similar
circumstances. Never omit to perform
q kind act when II can be done with
any reasonable amount OF exertion.
Never heedlessly wound the vanity OF
Others, or dilate unnecessarily upon
disagreable subjects. Do not use wit
ticism at the expense OF others which
you would not wish to have made
upon yourself. Remember, says the
New York Weekly. that good manners
are thoughts filed with kindness and
refinements. and then translated into
good behavior. See that your costume
is suited to the occasion. Be rude to
none; rudeness harms not so much
the humblest and poorest to whom It
is directed as 1t Injuries the exhibitors.
Never treat superiors with servility or
interiors with arrogance.

GAYS THAT MR.. TAFT's RELIC.
ious BELIEF IS HIS OWN
PRIVATE CONCERN.
NO CREED IN POLITICS
CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT,
CHRISTIAN AND JEW IN THE
PRESENT CABINET.

W1shington.-"Se Taft's re-
ligious faith is purely his own private
concern, and not matter for general
discussion and political discrimina-
tion," says President Roosevelt In a
letter just made public in which he an
swers numerous correspondents. The
President says he deferred the publica-
ton of the letter to avoid any agitation
likely to influence the election.
The President strongly condemns as
un-American and endangering liberty
and civilization. any attempt to preju-
dice citizens either for or against any
man on account OF his religious be-
liefs
The letter in part follows. being ad-
dressed to J. C. Martin, Dayton, Ohio:
My Dear Sir:-I have received your
letter running in part as follows:
While 1t is claimed almost Iniver-
sally that religion should not enter
into politics, yet there is no denying
ers that are not Catholics will, not sup
port man for any office, especially
for President of the United States who
who is Roman Catholic.
"Since Taft has been nominated for
President by the Republican party, it
is being circulated and Is constantly
urged as a reason for not voting for
Taft, that he is an infidel (Unitarian)
and his wife and brother Roman Cath
olics.
''If his feelings are In sympathy with
fba Roman Catholic rbrtrcb nv, ooca,,pf
of his wife and brother being Catholics
that would be Objectionable to suffi-
cient number Of voters to defeat him.
On the other hand II he is an infidel,
that would be sure to mean defeat. l
am writing this letter for the sole pur-
pose of giving Mr.. Taft an opportun-
ity to let the world know what his re-
ligious belief Is"
In his reply the President goes on
to say:
To discriminate against thorough
to some particular church, or because,
like Abraham Lincoln, he has not
avowed his allegiance to any church,
is an outrage against that liberty of
conscience which is one of the founda-
tions of American liberty. You are
entitled to know whether a man seek
ing your suffrages is a man of clean
and upright life, honorable in all his
dealings with his fellows. and fit by
qualification and purpose to do well in
the great office for which he is can
ldidate; but you are not entitled to
know matters which lie purely be-
tween himself and his Maker.
In my Cabinet at the present mo-
ment there sit side by side Catholic
and Protestant, Christian and Jew.
each man chosen because in my belief
he is particularly fit to exercise on
behalf OF all people the duties OF the
office to which have appointed him.
In no case does the mans religious be-
lief in any way influence his discharge
of his duties. save as it makes him
more eager to act justly and uprightly
In his relations to all men.

The Importanee of Health.

The value of health to the individual
say. for example, to the father of a
family who is the breadwinner for
wife and children-is recognized by
all, but 1t may not be SO generally
realized that the length of life of all
active members of the community
constitutes a national asset of great
pecuniary value. as It directly affects
the national earnings. says the New
York Weekly. Not only does the cost
of educating and training fresh gen.
Grafton of workers represent an i'm
mense loss of money, but many years
must elapse before the new recruits
can take their places in the industrial
army. 1t is. therefore. of the highest
Importance to the state that all It's
workers should continue to be efi-
cient as long as possible. II one Of
them becomes an invalid or dies. the
general stock of wealth produced will
be less and the burden of supporting
a family may be cast upon the public.
