Gentlcmen-I deeply appreciate J our
letter, and l realize TO the full the
heavy responsibility it puts upon me,
expressing as it does the carefully con-
sidered convictions of the men elected
by popular vote to stand as the heads
of government in their several states.
81 absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference 10 the personal pre-
ferences or interests OF Say man. but
purely from the standpoint of the in
terests of the people as n whole. will
accept the nomination for president if
it is rendered to IN. and | will adhere
to this decision until the convention
has expressed it's preference. One of
the chief principles for which | have
stood and for which / now stand, and
for which / have always endsaYored
and always shall endeavor TO reduce to
action, is tho genuine rule of the
people; and therefore l hope that so
far as possible the people may be given
the chance, through direct primaries,
to express their preference as to who
shall be the nominee Of the Republican
presidential convention"
Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

MASS OF HUM0R

81 think thtt Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass. running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold hin, and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head of hair. think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund. Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10. 1910
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere. a sample
OF each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuu'
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

Appearing suddenly off the port, the
commander OF the Italian gunboat Vol

ties a peremptory demand for the sur
render OF the Turkish gunboats in the
harbor.
Before the provincial governor
could deliver his reply TO the Italian
commanders or ask for time to nego-
tiate the cruisers opened devasta-
ting fire.
In a short time the Turkish gun

in a sinking condition. The customs
house was greatly damaged and other
buildings also suffered severely.
A great number OF people who came
within the zone of fire while passing
along the streets were slaughtered.
A panic set in and the people fled
in droves towards the Lebanon hills.
None of the American institutions,
including the big Presbyterian college,
were harmed by the explosion of
shells. The professors, missionaries

a The advent of the automobile has
brought the good roads problem to the
front all over the world and its first
effect was to seem to make IL more
difficult. From Europe comes the wall
that even the wonderful roads OF Eng
land and France break down under
the heavy traffic. Abroad as well as
IN the United States, special bodies Of
experts have been at work to discov-
er the secret OF more resistant sur
faces, and on both sides of the Allan
tic the conclusion seems to be in favor
OF bituminous northumberland that
the most available country road from
all points of view is the bituminized
macadam- The elements entering into
what constitutes a good country road
include cost, length of life. quality OF
surface and freedom from dust The
bituminized road is not long lived un-
der heavy traffic. but the old water
bound nacadam is converted to dust
by the procession Of tearing touring
cars. and the dust is blown away. The
bituminized macadam may not be the
best thing in the road line ideally pos
sible, but it is the best attainable at
the present time.

To Widen Scope Of State Fair.

The state fair to be held in Detroit
beginning September 16 next will be
the first one in the country TO have
an industrial exhibit on large scale
where the various processes of manu-
facture in many varied lines will be
shown in a practical way, so that a
visitor to the fair will be able to get
a liberal education in how things like
cigars, automobiles. shoes, stoves,
cloth and other common articles Of
commerce are made by the most up
to-date methods. The idea was con-
ceived a year ago by Secretary and
Manager j. L. Harmon, of the Michi-
gan State Agricultural society, but it
was then too late to carry it out in
time for the state fair last fall.

Mlchlaan Death Rate Decreases.

According to the annual mortality
report compiled by Secretary of State
Martindale. 37056 deaths occurred in
Michigan last year. which is 1,S41 less
than in 1910. There were 6,S52
deaths OF infants under one year OF
age, or 1876 per cent of all deaths re-
turned to the department of state as
having occurred last year
Acute anterior pollimyelitis. or in
fantile paralysis, as it is commonly
known in medical circles, caused AS
deaths during the past year. No
comparison of previous years can be
made from the deaths caused by this
disease as the year 1911 is the first in
which the disease was segregated
from the other diseases of the spinal
cord.
Secretary Martindale says that it is
possible that some deaths from this
disease may have escaped recogni-
ton, owing to the forms Of return
which are not sufficiently specific. In
order that the chances of such omis-
sions in the future may be reduced
to a minimum, Secretary Martindale
urges that all physicians use the &C
copied designation acute anterior
polliomyelitis" when reporting this
disease upon the certificate of death.
AS usual, tuberculosis was a great
destroyer of life. 2,640 deaths result
ing from this disease. The other
principal causes of death were as
follows Typhoid fever, 532: diph-
iberia and Group. 437; scarlet fever,
1885, measles, 1876; whooping cough,
229: pneumonia 2670. diarrhea and
enteritis, 1,4S7; meningitis, ass in.
fluenza, 81; cancer, 2,035; smallpox,
5; violence, 1888.

Truth Alone Not Sufficient.

Just consider for moment how
ridiculous it would be for a lawyer
to attempt to win case on his clients
bare assertion as to the facts. The
facts as stated might be true. but
truth alone is not sufficient either in
law or in advertising-there must be
proof positive or at least evidence
(reasons) sufficiently good to convince
the jury or the Judge that the asser-
tions made are probably true.-John
