him to have some candy which had
been saturated with croton oil.
Shortly after he had eaten the sweet,
Mr.. Snead said today. he fc't burn
ing sensation In the stomach and
became violently i'll, vomiting and
suffering almost unbearable agony
Physicians were summoned and
announced that had he taken a
smaller quantity OF the OIL it woI
have surely killed him, 81. the dose
he was given by the young practical
jokers caused him to throw the poi
son from his system before 1t had
an opportunity to get In its deadly
work
Since that time Mr.. Snead has
never recovered, but to ailay the
burning in his stomach no has been
compelled to drink vast quantities
of water, but which he has been un-
able to retain. AZ nights when he
would go to bed il would be with
a bucket OF cool water ama an emp
ty bucket In which to deposit the
fluid he could not retain. That prac-
tical joke of the youths has up to
the present time disabled Mr.. Sneai
to such al extent that ne has been
almost an invalid. His stomach was
literally burned away
However, though the burning con-
tinues to small extent, Mr.. Snead
says that Or. McKanna tonic is
the only thing which has ever given
him any relief and he is confident,
as Is DR.. McKanna, that in the
course OF a short time he will be al
most fully recovered.
Mr.. Snead is under DR.. McKanna's
care and the latter wishes to i'm
press upon the public that Mr.. Snead
is not taking the liquor cure, but
merely a wonderful toni. to stop
his almost chronic suffering. Or.
McKanna Is highly pleased with the
success OF his tonic I'm the case Of
this unfortunate man.

It Is Character That Cou nts.

For the very reason that in
material well.being We have thus
abounded, we owe it to the AL.
mighty to show equal progress
in moral and spiritual things.
With q nation, as with indvldu-
ais who make up a nation, mate.
rial well being is an indispensable
foundation. But the foundation
ayails nothing by itself That
life is wasted, and worse than
wasted, which is spent in piling,
heap upon heap those things
which minister merely to the
pleasure OF the body and to the
power that rests only on wealth.
Upon material well-being as q
foundation must be raised the
structure Of the lofty light of the
spirit, if this nation is properly
to fulfill it's great mission and to
accomplish all that we 80 ardent
ly hope and desire. The things
Of the body are good: the things
Of the intellect better; but the
best Of all are the things OF the
soul; for, in the nation as in the
individual, in the long run it is
character that counts. Let US
therefore as a people set our TO-
ces resolutely against evil, and
with broad charity, with kind
illness and good will toward all
men, but with unainching deter
mination to smite down t h e
wrong strive with all the strength
that is given us for righteous
ness in public and private life.-
