CURED before an American Federation
of Labor convention. He said that
Roosevelt was right. II believe and
every honest man believes said he,
that there should be just criticism
of any public official whether judge
or any other official"
This sentiment aroused the greatest
enthusiasm in the convention. Every
body applauded Roosevelt was right
when he denounced the courts, be-
cause they are governed by their en-
yironment." said Gov. Hadley. The
governors speech seemed to catch
every member of the federation be-
cause they kept applauding him at
every denunciation of the courts. "The
great trouble with the judges Is that
they live within their own environ
ment and their decisions are made ac-
cordingly' said Gov. Hadley. ut might

troll Of Canal a Disputed Question.

Panama. Nov. 17.-President Taft
was informed that there is a great
probability of the canal being finished
by December 1913 one year ahead OF
the scheduled time. 1t all depends on
the contractors for the lock gates,
which were promised for June 1911. In
the event that no hitch comes, the
first of January 1914 will find ships
steaming through the locks, although
the formal opening will not be until
January l. 1915.
In this connection Goethels answer
ing rumors that Taft's visit proposed
the planning of an extra s100.0O0,00t
for the canal, declared 1t would be
finished by January l, 1915 at the
original estimate of s75,000,O0O and
not penny more.

RHEUMATISM
WEAK kidneys aTHIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion Of nourishing elements
Of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches Of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and Inflammation of the flesh.
