GOOD BLOOD.

Given good, clean, healthy blood,
Nature will do the rest with any case
of catarrh, inf1ammatory rheumatism,
scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils,
pimples or skin disease of any kind.
Good blood invariably means vigor-
GUS appetite, good digestion and
strength.
Thus it stands to reason that an
effective "alterative" or blood puri-
fer, while it will not cure all diseases,
will help in fighting any disease and
will cure those mentioned above, all
of which come from bad blood.
Forty years ago DR.. A. B. Simpson
of Richmond, was known as one of
the most successful physicians in
three states. His success was found
ed almost exclusively on one pre-
scription, the most powerful blood
purifier ever known. After his death
this prescription was regularly put UP
as DR.. A. B. Simpsons Vegetable Com
pound.

over the country, and in forty years
has never failed, even in that most
dreadful of all blood diseases, syph-
ills in it's worst stage. And when an

with other troubles. Simpson S

PROVINCIAL FASTENERS
Some of Whom Still Think that Bears Chase Each Other
Through the Streets in Indiana and that Bever-
idge Won't Be Governor.

Returning to the complacent ignor-
ance of many denizens of New York,
the writer was amused over a CONVEX
sation she had with the representative
of a theatrical company who was in
town a week or SO since.
This man stated his origin as New
Orleans.
But his long forced residence New
York
He casually said that he supposed
everything in Indiana was for Wilson.
When the writer denied the allega-
ton he seemed vastly surprised
Didn't suppose he would find a
Roosevelt man in the state.
AS for Beveridge he had been told
in New York that he hadn't the ghost
of a chance.
That he had been defeated when
running for Office"
When interrogated as to just what
he meant by this, has was vague, and
upon close questioning seemed to be
/ in benighted state with regard to the
political situation anywhere.
Specially in Indiana.
Seemed completely flabbergasted
when told that whatever happened to
Roosevelt or Wilson or Taft or Chaplin
or anybody else in this Hoosier en-
viron, it was a safe bet that Beveridge
would be the next Governor of Indiana
That he was easily the most popular
man in the state.
That if it had been left to the direct
vote of the people he would still be
serving in the senate.
That far from his record in that
more or less honorable body being, as
the man indicated, shifting, it had
been notoriously consistent
That when Beveridge spoke he com
manded audiences of thousands
That he was the originator of the

The veil lifts slowly.

he VSll Illus Slowly.
In other words dense ignorance of
life as it is lived in Indiana, seems
to prevail in certain sections of the
more or less effete east.
Illustrated, for one, by a telegram
sent from New York to the convention
of the American Humane Association
which recently was held in Indianapo-
lis
This message was a request to the
effect that the New York public regis
tered a strong protest against dog and
badger fighting in Indiana.
And asked the Association to take
the matter up.
Since it's sessions in the frontier
town of indianapolis made the time
opportune to spring the matter.
This caused great laughter from the
middle and extreme Westerners atten-
ding the convention.
The President of the indianapolis
Humane Society stated from the floor
that this was intended as a joke
The President of the National soci-
ETY., presiding, seemed a little mysti-
fed over the whole thing and passed
it up after the explanation from the
Indianapolis man.
But the truth is that the telegram
was sent with serious intent.
This is merely a sign which points
the way.
1t is amusing, the attitude the New
Englanders and others resident on the
coast sustain toward the rest of the
country.
They know good deal more about
Europe than they do of the West.
And, of themselves, are crassly pro.
vincial-as has been animadverted up,
on here and otherwhere many times.
The truth is that the farther you GO
to the West, the more cosmopolitan
does the average citizen become.
You will find more genuine culture
to the square inch in Oregon, say
than Inlet us say-New Jersey.
And this notwithstanding the latter
is the home of Mr.. Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson, for one thing, is severa
laps behind on the woman question
no matter what the public prints are
trying to make out.
And the Democrats in this state
can't pose as the friend of woman'i
suffrage.
For no longer ago than last spring
the suffragists were given a cold, icy
| wintry hand-out when they appeared
before the Democratic Central Com
mittee to ask for recognition in the
platform of the convention about t
be pulled off.
For years the women have Emporium
ed both the Democrats and Republi
cans but without effect.
After the Progressive state platform
declared for woman's suffrage, the Re
publicans made faint statement il
their party declaration. But they nev
er would have done it had their con
vention not been. held after that of th1
! Progressives.
Now, as everybody knows, all th'
parties are bidding for the favor o
the women in all the states.
| But the Progressives began it.
The others only followed suit be
cause they had to.
Let the women remember that.

"GETS-IT' Will Get
Any Corn, Sure!
You'll Quit Everything Else for
GETSITo

Any corn just loves to be cut and
gouged, but it's mighty rough on you.
Plasters and salves usually take away
some of the toe with them, and leave
the corn to flourish.
The new corn cure "GETS-IT" is
perfectly harmless to the healthy
flesh, but it does go for a corn, bun
ion, callous or wart right off the reel.
The corn shrivels away from the
healthy flesh and drops off.
You can apply "GETS-IT" in two
seconds and it begins it's work right
off. Pretty soon you'll forget you ever
had cornS or bunions.

Fredericksburg, Thgh1ia, her birthplace,
Is one of tie most historic towns in
America. Founded long before the
Revolution, upon the Raepahannock
Riper it has been for generations the
centre of social life in that rich region
knoDn as the northern neck of Thginid,
where pere born and bred so many of
the great Fathers of American Liberty.
Within a radius of thirty miles pere
born John MarshqH George Wasiing-

James Madison. James Monroe, MattheD

II T WAS also in this little town of
4 Fredericksburg that convention
~ of delegates of twelve compan-
les of horse assembled and pro-
claimed their purpose to defend the
colony of Virginia or any other colony
against the king of England, and
marched under the command Of Pat
rick Henry against Lord Dunmore.
This occurred twenty-one days before
the famous Declaration of Mecklen-
burg and was therefore the first and
most emphatic declaration of our in
dependence.
1t is also worthy of note that in
1882, when that independence had
been accomplished, it was citizen of
Fredericksburg who introduced into
the legislature, which had then been
replaced by the house of burgesses,
the first resolution for the emancipa-
ton Of the negroes and for the prohi-
bition of the slave trade ever offered
in America. Gen. John Minor of
Fredericksburg, was the author and
advocate Of the measure, and here in
this same town was born, lived and
died Mary Ball. the mother Of Wash
