Ohio Now .MOther of Presidents"
By the induction into Office today
tinction of being known as pre-emi-
nently the mother of presidents has
been taken from Virginia, The old
dominion may still lay claim to hay-
ing had in the presidential chair as
many of her favorite sons as any
state, but the record is maintained
through the elevation of Vice Presi-
dent Tyler to the presidency. Four
Virginians - Washington, Jefferson.
Madison and Monroe, have been elect
ed president and Tyler served out the
unexpired term of William Henry Har-
rison. Five Ohioans have been elect
ed president-William Henry Harri-
son, Hayes. Garfield. Mckinley and
Taft. No vice president from that
state has attained the higher Office.
New York also has furnished five pres
|idents-Van Buren,, Fillmore, Arthur,
Cleveland and Roosevelt, but as Fill
more and Arthur attained the presi-
dency only by virtue of completing
uneXpired terms vacated through
death. the record of the Empire state
also falls short of that of Ohio

CALL FOR THREE PRESIDENTS
Petition of Civic Federation Of Huron,
S. D.-Wanted "With Vices.n

Representative William Sulzer of
New York presented to the house the
other day a petition from the Civic
federation of Huron, 8. D., urging an
amendment of the federal constitution.
The petition sets out that there ought
TO be three presidents-one from the
east, one from the west and one from
the central part of the United States.
The adoption of this scheme would
keep the judiciary out Of politics.
would prevent the concentration of
power and would serve TO diminish the
centering of popular dislike or one
man.
Apparently the petitioners desire that
there shall be three vice presidents
also, although their language is a bit
vague on this point. The petition ia
vors "three presidents with vices"

the Colorado pitchblende. He found
that this blende contained an element
possessing many of the qualities of
radium and that when this element
was applied to the backs Of patients
suffering from locomotor ataxia and
similar diseases it effected quick cures.
He said he was not alone in his ex-

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unheal-
thy some part of this impure matter
is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms-pain
in the back, headache. nervousness.
hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt, grav-
ell, disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But If you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

crossed over range of hills in order

trip was made through Schuylervllle,

home by way of Hoosick Falls. They
covered 125 miles increasing the dis
lance they should have gone by going
around on wrong roads. The road
from Saratoga to Schuylerville cannot
be surpassed but from Scnuylerville
TO Cambridge they are abominable.
The best way to go to Saratoga is to

absolutely no trouble during the trip.
