my Judgment is distinct from a progress
sive development Of that which has been
performed by President Roosevelt. The
chief function OF the next administra
ton Is to complete and perfect the ma
ehinerv BY which these standards may
be maintained, by which the lawbreak-
ers may Be promptly restrained and
punished, but which shall operate with
sufficient accuracy and dispatch TO inter-
fere with legitimate business as little
a. possible
The atmosphere Of the Roosevelt adj
ministration, then, was one Of moral
impulse; that Of Taft is one Of legal
definition. And both are necessary.
Roosevelt left a Jungle OF new growths
which must be pruned and cultivated

A CURE FOR
NEURALGIA
Remarkable Recovery at Lisbon
Proves Its Power in This
Painful Disease.

Neuralgia Is inflammation Of nerve
This Inflammation ia sometimes caused
BY exposure to cold, sometimes by the
nerve irritation arising from decayed
tooth. OF all causes, however. a general
debility Of the system Is by far the most
frequent. The most eminent nerve
specialists and the greatest medical
writers agree on this point.
Lack Of blood is almost always hssooi-
ated with neuralgia. Build up the blood,
the impoverished nerves are fed and the
neuralgic pains disappear. Absolute
rest is the best aid to proper medical
treatment
The cure Of Mrs. r. o. Carter, Of No.
8 High street, Lisbon, N. H., by the use
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills should Lead
other sufferers from neuralgia TO try this
remedy. Mrs. Carter says:
Following some trouble with my
teeth / was afflicted with neuralgia in
the head. The pains were terrible and
sometimes caused me to faint. ! also had
dreadful headaches. ! was confined 10
bed as often as two or three days q
week. For two years had no relief
from my suffering and lost 80 much in
weight that my friends thought would
never get well.
"The doctor treated me for neuralgia
and said my blood would have TO be
built up. After getting no help for two
years / began using DIR. Williams Pink
pills and took them regularly. felt

Burlington. July 6.-The long and
elaborate celebration ia which the states
of Vermont and New York and the Do
minion OF Canada viii unite during the

centenary of the discovery Of Lake
Champlain was formally begun In this
state Sunday with special religious OBJ
servances Of unusual impressiveness IN
tile churches oil all denominations
throughout Vermont. President Taft
and Governor Hughes will speak at

For the opening day Of the celebration
the weather could hardly lave been more
desirable. and this city was given a
picturesque and lively appearance with
the brilliant holiday garh and broad
canvas on which was depicted historical
scenes with which Champlain Is associ-
Ated. Thousands Of visitors poured into
the city on every train.
Cardinal Gibbons, who spoke at the
open.air pontifcial mass at the Catholic
summer school at Cliff Haven, said:
eve are assembled to pay honor to
the memory Of the illustrious Samuel
Champlain, who, three centuries ago,
discovered the lake which bears his
nae. Champlain was filed with an apos-
folie spirit and was burning with zeal
for the conversion Of the aboriginal tribes

his spirit BY the sentiment asefibed to
him. that the conversion Of one soul was
Of more Importance than the finding of
an empire

Grafters Kidnap ! reform Editor.


In an article in the July Mcclure's on
San Francisco's graft prosecutions, AIRS.
Fremont Older tells how her husband, 3
reform newspaper editor, was kidnapped.
She says that hirelings Of the grafters
decoyed him from his Office, and con-
tinues:
'In Van Ness avenue the editor OBJ
served an automobile filed with evil
looking men. The motor-car drew up to
him: one of its occupants stepped out.
The stranger said he had warrant for
Mr. Older's arrest on the charge of Grim
inal libel III Los Angeles. Calhoun's at
torney had trumped up q charge; an
obliging Judge issued the warrant in
secret.
II demand ball. said Mr.. Older.
fAli right, replied the stranger III
take you to Judge Cook.
sMr. Older was seated between two
men. one Of whom held a pistol against
his side, When Mr. Older realized that
the machine was approaching the park,
he knew he was not gong to the judges
residence; he was being carried away by
force in defiance Of the law, The auto
mobile was going at the rate OF forty
miles an hour when he started to rise.
III you make any eort to escape I'll
have 10 shoot you, the man with the
postol warned.
When the editor heard these words,
and felt the mouth Of the weapon against
his side, he knew he had been brought
away By his eaptors in the hope that
he would make an cutlery. Mr.. Older
could obtain no information as to his
destination The motor-car followed

Cancer, in Principle, Not an Incurable
Disease.

OAoN@oNs
In experiments with mice, conducted
by DIR. Gaylord at the GratwielS labora-
tory, Buffalo, It was discovered that the
law Of immunity applies to cancer. II
was found that about 20 per cent. Of
the generous mice recover without
treatment. Burton J. Hendricks, in tell
ing Of these experiments in the July
McClme's, says
"What did this mean Simply this;
that cancer was a durable disease; the
destructive cells did not necessarily
mean death. Clearly nature herself
knew how 10 rid The animal body of
this malignant growth The presence
Of the cancer cell started into life GER
tain forces Chat arose in all their might
and threw of the incubus. These simple
experiments for all time took human
cancer out OF the class Of incurable dis
eases. Precisely how nature accom-
| plished this work IS not known now,
may indeed never be known; the method
may be too complex for the human
lrnind to grasp; but, in principle, the dis
ease can be mastered
.And now investigators began to re-
call certain incidents that had for years
systematically figured in medical litera-
/ tine. but which had never received ser-
lious consideration These were the
stories OF so-called spontaneous eres
Of cancer in human beings.
"Ask Dr. James Ewing, Of Cornell
Professor Enrich, Dr. 4. II. Bashiordt
or ans Of the leading cancer experts
this question: DO human beings ever
spontaneously recover from cancer I
and the answer is always quiet Yes.
DR.. Gaylord has ransacked medical lit.
erature Tor specific instances; and, amid
4 a mass of more or less uncertain matter
i has wound fourteen cases concerning
which there cannot be the slightest
scientific doubt. Unqpestionably thers
4 are thousands that are not recorded, and
many more Of which the medical profess
sion, and even the patients themselves
know nothing"

Forest Service tells How to Prevent
Them From Decay.

AheW from hcLays
Every farmer is familiar with the
rotting Of his fence posts at the sur
face Of the ground. The labor Of re.
placing them and how to secure new and
durable posts are sources Of constant
annoyance and expense. Even the more
durable woods, such as chestnue, white
oak and cedar, decay in eight or ten
years. 1t Is true that there are a few
kinds Of wood in the United States,
such az locust and osage-orange, which
give much longer service, but their sup
ply, never very large, is rapidly be-
coming exhausted, and the farmer must
now look to some other source for his
posts. Perhaps directly on his farm
there may be a patch Of woods which
includes such trees as black oak, beech,
maple or pine, and cottonwoods and
willows may grow along the banks Of
his streams. These are trees which
heretofore have been thought Of little
or no use for posts, because Of the
rapidity with which they are attacked
BY decay In their natural condition,
they will rot in two or three years
too soon 70 pay for the labor OF setting
them. The Forest Service in its study
of prolonging the life Of fence posts has
found cheap and simple methods Of pre-
serving them in q sound condition for
an indefinite time, even though they
are the poorest and naturally least
durable woods.
Decay Is not a simple process ike the
crumbling of stone or the rusting Of
iron. II IS caused BY low forms Of plant
life which thoroughly permeate the
wood, discolor it and cause it to become
disconnected and rotten To preserve
the timber in a thoroughly cound con-
dition, IL is only necessary 20 render
the wood nfia for the growth Of these
organisms This Is done by injecting
into it substances poisonous to plant
life.
One Of the most widely used preserva.
tives Is creosote, one Of the By products
of coal tar. When It is injected int
the wood, decay viii be retarded indefi
nitely and an old-ield pine or cotton
wood fence post when properly treated
will easily give life Of twenty year.
on longer. Such preventative treat
ment costs about ten cents per post
The creosote can BE- applied BY paint
ing the wood with a brush or dipping i
into the liquid, but much better result.
will be obtained If il is actually injected
into the wood instead of merely coat
ing the outside. If the brush method
or painting, IS used, the creosote should
IS applied at temperature Of about
$50 degrees +. Two coats should b
given al least twenty-four hours apart
II the posts are dipped directly int
the preser@tivc, the creosote should b,
heated 10 about the same temperature
The best results Of al can be obtained
hy first heatina the posts in bath o
hot ereos0te and then either transfer
ring them quickly to bath Of ereasotl
at a lower temperature, or else shut
ting oil the heat and allowing the post
to remain ia the oil as it oools. b
