The Cause Of Colds and q Safe Cure.

A common cause Of many colds is
the sudden checking of the unconscious
|perspiration by exposure to change of
temperature. Colds, whether taking the
form of coryza with sneezing, running
[nose, and perhaps sore throat, or with
chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
stages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
It is well to get early to bed, to get
the body well warmed, and most i'm,
oortant to have the bowels move freely
There is no safer or better remedy to
ise at the beginning Of cold than
IL F." Atwood's medicine. Two to
four teaspoonfuls will quickly relieve
songested conditions, drive out impuri
les from the system and ward off fur
her trouble. Always keep a bottle il
he house. Any dealer will supply yor
Tor thirty-fve cents. If ycl have
never used them, write today for fret
sample to the L. E. Medicine Co.. Port
end. Maine.

Will Hold Meeting at Chicago, satur.
day, Feb. 10.

Chicago, Jan 31.-"We are going
right ahead with our movement and
the people are with u.s." said Alexan-
der Revell, president of the Roosevelt
National committee here, today, after
a visit to Theodore Roosevelt in New
York.
A call was issued for a meeting of
the committee here, Feb. 10, for the
discussion of further plans.
Il will not enter the lists" continued
Mr. Reyell "of those who know ex-
actly what Col. Roosevelt intends to
do concerning the mention of his
name for President.
Il visited him to determine for my
self that he was the same man now
that we have always known him TO be
and that the attitude that he is
forced to take at the present time is
as honest, sincere and frank as were
his actions of other days.
II am convinced that the exigencies
of the country appeal to the patriotism
of Col. Roosevelt with such force that
all other considerations ultimately will
be swept aside.
Another thing: The fact that the
movement to nominate him originated
among the people themselves would,
/ think, naturally appeal to Col.
Roosevelt's sense of duty, as it must
appeal to every man.
Instead of trying to defeat the will
of the people by forcing himself on
them with a third term) he is, am
convinced, regretful that the proposal
of his nomination is coming up as an
imperative demand of the people--a

was a member of the Champ Clark dele
cation from his ward.
In letter to Herman w. Fay, chair-
man of the committee, Lon Sanderson,
campaign manager for Folk, declared a
primary held under such conditions would
be a political farce. The primary will be
held, Feb. H. to select PIG delegates to
the Democratic state convention to be
held in Joplin, Feb. 20.
The Joplin convention will determine
whether Folk or Clark shall have the

TAFT IN OHIO.

Akron. Ohio, Jan 3l.-President
Taft brought his three-days trip
through northern and central Ohio to
an end here, tonight, with a reception
and dinner given by the Akron Cham
Der Of Commerce, in his honor. The
President spoke on the Tariff Board
at the dinner and gave his reasons
for wishing it's continued existence.
This existence. he said, was threat
ened by Democratic House of Rep
resentatives for the firm time in the
memory of members of his party.
In leading up to a discussion of the
Tariff Board, the President spoke Of
the relations of the federal govern
ment to business. He made it clear
that his administration intends to en-
force the antitrust law but said he
favored the enactment of federal in
corporation act TO enable great corpo-
rations to operate under the shield of
national charter.
But" said the President, whether
we have national Incorporation law
or not, we have an antitrust law on
the statute books. That law isn't go
ing to be repealed"
The President said his hearers had
doubtless heard % lecturers with %
different laws to replace the sherman
act-"all different from and none bet
ter than that law. Probably the best
thing to do said Mr.. Taft, lis to
take this law that has stood the test
more than 20 years and do our best
with it."
The President concluded with an in
dorsement of the plan for currency re-
form proposed by the National None
tary Commission and with 81 plea for
the arbitration treaties.
Before he was half through he found
an overcoat too heavy and apologize
ing TO his hearers. took 1t off.
Mr.. Taft did not appear in evening
dress at the banquet and there was not
a man at the guest table dressed in any
thing but business suit. except Mai.
A. w. Butt, who wore his fatigue uni
form. The arrangements committee
pressed for time, said they would rather
entertain the President than give him Y
minutes to dress. They said they would
leave their evening clothes at home, too
and there were few "swallow-talls
among the 500 or more diners.
The banquet was held in dancing
academy and shortly after it began the
President donned his overcoat. His cold
| was better, but his physician did MOI
wish him to take any chances. He dinet
