Why? Because health is the main

OF an things most dreaded, illness
lof body or mind stands first; and of
all things most sought after, the
means of preserving or restoring
health are paramount.
These modern times have witnessed
marvellous achievements. Perhaps in
scientific discovery and invention, the
development of motion pictures, wire
less telegraphy and flying machines is
the greatest feat of the last decade.
But in higher sphere something
finer has been accomplished, viz, the
discovery of the true remedy for all
ills.
When in every phere of life this rem
edy is properly applied the Golden
Age will be upon us, and no longer
will people on meeting ask "Howdy-

well.
What, then, is this remedy? Oh, it
is very simple-like electricity, nature
provides it, and it has been with us
all the while, so very present and so
very simple that we have not reeog-
nized its value and have until recent
ly made but little effort to apply it.

All the Ills we are heir to are due

The evils of crime cannot exist in

criminals of the underworld cannot
live in the light. Victor Hugo said:
These men, when we catch glimpse
of them upon a deserted boulevard at
midnight, are frightful; they do not
seem to be men, but forms of living
fog: we might say that they are
habitually a portion of the darkness,
that they are not distinct that they
have no other soul but shadow, and
that they have become detached from
the night momentarily and in order
to live a monstrous life for few min
utes. What is required to make these
plantoms vanish? Light, floods of

The evil of social, civic and CONNER

BILLION DOLLARS
AGAIN THE Level.
Democrats Maintain There is
Decrease in Expenditures,
While Republicans
Deny 1t.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Congress closed
another billion dollar session today, but
the exact total of:the nations cost of living
varies as it is seen through Republican
and Democratic eyes.
The total appropriations for the fis-
cal year 1913, which began July l, 1912,
amount to 81 ,Ol9 ,636 ,143, ,GG, as given to The
senate and house today by Senator War
rem and Representative Fitzgerald, re-
spcctively chairmen of the two appropria-
tiOn committees.
1t is conceded by both of these leaders
that this is $7,046,OOO less than the nations
budget of 1912, but it remained for former
Speaker Cannon, in behalf of the Rcpubli-
can forces of tho house to produce figures
to show that the present Democratic con-
gress actually had appropriated more for
general purposes than did the preceding
Republican congress.
Representative Cannon declared that
out of the general total should be taken all
expenditures made for the Panama canal.
With such deductions, he said, the total
appropriations for 1913 would be $500, ,656,-
143, as compared with Il total of 1881, ,122, :
SS1 appropriated for general purposes last
year.
