Nurse DOwd Says:
 Blessing for the Aged
During many years experience s' has always found this great medicine wonderfully efficient.

She writes; q am a nurse and wish
 to tell you what Duffy's Pure Malt
 Whiskey has done for some of my older
 patients. The lady l am caring for at present is in her 9sth year, and we owe it all to Duffy's Pure Malt Whis- key. When she was S7 years old she had a very hard spell of sickness, and but for this medicine she would have
 died. I nursed another lady, 94 years old, where the medicine did her so much good she would not do without 1t. One old lady 36 years old said she
 attributed her good health to Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, and she is never
 without a bottle of it.
 For my practice l prefer Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey to any other and l want people to know what a blessing it is, especially to the aged.-Kate Dowd, Clinton. Conn.

Colonel Roosevelt's position is that
there should be Government COM

and directly under control of the
President, with full power to regu-
late these great trusts and combina-
tons not by suit in court that will
take five or ten years to try, and then
when the suit is over, result in giving
them a clean bill of health, but in
stead an executive department that
will supervise them every minute

take nothing for granted. they al
ways know what they are doing.
The peculiar attitude which Cover
nor Wilson has taken since the Bal
timore Convention with reference TO
his platform and the changing tone
from day TO day OF his speeches in
different parts OF the country would
indicate that somebody or some set
OF influences are having a constant
effect upon his mind and his utter
ances.
II will be remembered that Cover
nor Wilson declared some time ago
that the party platform was not "a
program" for his administration. and
that he would outline his own pro-
gram. Since that time, what has oc-
CURED? Governor Wilson has de-
clared squarely in favor OF scarcer
money and dearer money. His first
declaration was rather mild, but was
to the effect that the prices OF prod
ucts were too high and that the dol
lar was too cheap A dollar to-day
will buy only about nine pounds OF
cotton. We all can remember when
one dollar would buy twenty-five
pounds of cotton.
That time was under the Grover
Cleveland administration, and that
administration was one of low prices
hard times, starvation, bankruptcy
and soup houses.
In short, Governor Wilson has de.
clared squarely in favor of the Cleve
land financial policy. We all remem
| Der what that was, and there is nc
sane man who works for an honest
living who wants to see it returned
In this connection, it should be re
membered that Governor Wilson wai
one of the greatest admirers tina
President Cleveland ever had in thi!
country, that Governor Wilson prais
ed him in numerous speeches and ar
ticles, and continued to eulogize hin
not only while he lived but since hi
death, and that the Cleveland eulo
gise have only stopped since he be
came a candidate for President.
Besides, it should be remembered
that Governor Wilson is in favor o
exactly the same tariff bill tina
President Cleveland favored w
had a Wilson tariff bill under tn
Cleveland administration, which
closed down the factories and pu
thousands Of laborers to trampin
the streets. We are promised anoth
