REGARDS HISCURE
AS A MIRACLE
This Illinois Man Had Stomach
Trouble and Was Becoming
Paralyzed.

Mr.. J. r. Remington, OF Dallas City,
H., regards his cure 10y DIR. Williams
Pink Pills "a a miracle. He is well
known both at Stronghurst, H., where
he formerly resided aud at Ia Harpe.
For years he has been recommending
the pills that cured him. He says:
"My stomach trouble, which afflicted
me for about two years, began with a
general weakness. i didn't have
strength enough TO hold up my head
and could eat nothing but lactated food
for over six months, while il was more
than q year before could eat any solid
food. / had palpitation OF the heart
and nv breath was short. My left leg
and hand gradually became numb and
l could not use either for a long time.
At first my hand felt full OF needles
when closed il; afterwards there was
no feeling in IL at all. L had many
sleepless nights and suffered intensely.
81 doctored at Stronghurst and La
Harpe and had two specialists from
Chicago, but there wasn't one among
the doctors who could tell what my
trouble was and their treatments did
not help me. My brothers moved me
to La Harpe from Stronghurst during
my sickness but had no hopes OF ever
getting well. took electric treatment
without any help and many medicines
with no better result. My home doctor
came to see me one morning after he
had been treating me for three months
and told me that he couldn't do any
more for me and that ought TO go to
the Springs. But as couldn't sit up
or walk kept on trying different doc
tors for eighteen months. When one
10 sick some one always suggests q rem
edy and in my case an old lady friend
recommended DIR. Williams Pink Pills
and / decided TO try them. l took
them for two weeks, carefully following
the directions and at the end OF that
time began TO crave good meal. My
hand and leg got 50 that / could use
them again. gradually regained my
health and weight and have worked as
ever from that time / haven't missed
work on account of sickness but two or
three days in the last nine or ten years
Ny cure was certainly q miracle as all
my friends and relatives expected 70
hear of my death.

woodland. That was twenty years
ago, and up to the time OF his death
in 1908, he added each season 10 the
treasures OF his gardens. The jap

body created out OF a bit OF swamp
near the brook, and in converting 1t

Chokes Mad Doq 10 Death.

ChOkes Mad Dog 10 Death.
For his bravery, Daniel Bond, aged
"a kars, of Atlantic Oity, N. j., may
lose his life. he attacked bare hand
ed and choked to death dog suffering
with hydrophobia, just as the mad
dened animal was making toward
group of school children.
The animal was a large mongrel'
and before Bond succeeded in killing
it, he was badly bitten on the arms
and wrists. When Bond saw the dog
rushing toward the group of children
he pursued it and caught the animal
just as it reached the little ones. For
several minutes he wrestled with the
enraged brute, and, finally, grasping
it by the neck with a vice-like grip,
crushed out its life:
Bond was taken into the observa-
tion ward of local hospital. Virus
was injected in the hope OF fighting
off hydrophobia.

The Association of Lex
ingtOn County Pubic
School Trustees.

To the Editor of The Dispatch.
1t was my privilege to attend the
last meeting of this body held in Lex
ington Court house the first Monday
in October. Not very large number
were present, but those present showed
devotion to the cause of the common
schools written large upon them. A
band of men so impressed with the
Importance of tho work they have
been appointed to superintend, so i'm
pressed with their duty to the coming
citizenship Of our county, that they
left their homes and their farms at
the very busiest season Of the year
and drove, many Of them, over al
most impossible roads, that they
might meet together and talk COM
mon plans for the betterment of our
common schools-the real trainers Of
the citizenship Of our land.
know of NO movement of recent
years that is bigger with opportuni.
ty than the organization of the school
trustees of our country for the better
ment of the common schools. I long
to see the day when every school trus'
tee will be member of such orgaLi-
zations. We people who live in the
rural districts can see plainly that our
! educational system is getting top
heavy. Our higher Institutions are
being pushed forward out of all pro-
portion to our common schools. Every
year the representatives of our higher
institutions are before our legislature
with the needs of their institutions.
They are kept 80 persistently before
our lawmakers that nothing of their
needs esca. Q the public notice. 1t
has not been so with our common
schools. Those in charge of their in
terests have been backward in letting
their needs be known. Let the trus-
tees of each county Of the State organ.
tze and, like the managers of our high
er institutions, carry the imperative
needs of our common schools before
our lawmakers that they may look at
the whole matter together and give to
our common schools the consideration
which their interests and the common
public veal demands.
If it is a States duty to educate her
citizens, .,n out of all question she
should give her greatest considera-
ton, her best energies, and her most
bountiful and hearty support to the
common schools, where she meets, it
she meets at all, those who are to be
her guiders and defenders in the years
to come.
Let the trustees of our common
schools organize and memorialize the
state of this, her greatest duty, in
matters educational. School trustees,
| in the face Of these things, let every
man do his duty. E. J. Sox.

Hot Wave Thoughts.

Bridgeport Post.
The presence OF the most severe
heat wave that the eastern section of
the country has known in some years
ought to be reminder to everybody
to govern themselves accordingly.
The first essential is moderate eat
ing and drinking. In the eating line
light and easily digested foods, and
thoroughly ripe fruits, are the best
for this sort of weather The less
meat one eats when the thermometer
Is lowering around ninety, the more
comfortable one will be. There is
nothing better than the thoroughly
ripe fruits of the season, we'll cooked
vegetables and light soups If meat
is desired then a small allowance of
mutton or lamb is preferred.
All these suggestions are within the
limits of the smallest incomes. Vegs-
tables, as a rule are now at their
cheapest and best, and in the greatest
variety. Reasonable dieting in this
direction will not overhead the blood.
always an important consideration for
those who are forced to exert them
selves with hard manual labor
Then as to drinking. Here, too,
with the wiser course of procedure for
tropic temperatures. There is moth
ing worse than ice cold water, unless
it is alcoholic stimulants. Both
should be placed on the retired list
when the silver streak is threatening
to touch the century mark. The one
great principle to bear in mind when
these hot waves arrive is moderation.
and then again, moderation If one
follows such a course you will not
only be more comfortable, but you
will be in a position to avoid these
dangers which are attendant upon the
extremes of temperature in July and
August, and sometimes even in Sep
tember.
There is one other notable help for
making existence more tolerable I'm
hot weather. and that is the early
morning dip" or sponge bath I'm cold
water. This. too. is a thing that the
poorest of us can enjoy, and In many
respects II is the most helpful of any
Of the suggestions in making life
bearable when the mercury readings

MIR. TAFT AND PEACE.
MOST orators on the Fourth of July talk abot
4 the greatness and glory of our country an

nj OST orators on the Fourth of July talk about
Il the greatness and glory of our country and
rightly so. They make the eagle scream" and
the observance of the day Of national DAYS is as
sociated with ideas of war and the victories of
arms.
Mr. Taft has been travelling through the middle
west, and in his addresses he varied considerably
the usual talk. Not only did he praise the vic
tories of the fathers, but he spoke about peace
and discussed whether our wars could have been
avoided in the past
Certain it is that two of them could not have
been, the revolutionary war and the rebellion But
in the light of history it is more than probable
that the second war with England and the Mexi-
can war could have been avoided as the President
seems to think, though the Spanish war, even in
this day of light and supposed learning shows that
we are as apt to be plunged into war under GER
tain circumstances as ever we were
But Mr.. Tafts distinctly man of peace, and
il is hard to conceive Of the United States engag-
ing in real war while he is President His ad-
minstration will probably be remembered for the
victories Of peace rather than those of war His
great impetus to the arbitration movement and
his desire to do away with fighting as a means of
Settling disputes between nations, are the things
for which his administration will be most remem-
bered
Mr. Tafts legal training makes him uphold the
view that lawyer is likely TO take of war. Disputes
between men long ago settled by physical force
and the right of might have given way to settle
ment by legal procedure, by the court. Arbitra-
tion is merely an extension of that principle
There are powerful forces working for arbitra
ton, chief Of which are some Of the European
political parties, the Socialists, for example They
show that the burdens of war are really carried by
the laborng classes and this is true in the final
analysis.
