SULLIVAN CABLES WHY U. S. ATHLETES ARE VICTORS

-
it for every American citizen.
Stockholm, July 12.-Ameri-
cans excel the world because they
are the worlds best.
The blood of the world pours
into America.
On the American team are men
whose daring, manly fathers left
their homes in Sweden, in Ger
many, in England, in France
years ago for America, where
they could find room to live free
ly and raise good families.
Such men were bound to have
fine, strong sons.
America has many such. What's
more, when Americans do any
thing, they do it we'll.
We Americans secured the
land thoroughly for the best. We
found Richards, champion high
jumper, in a little town in Utah.
We found Drew, speed marvel,
in an out-of-the-way New Eng
land high school, Many other re-
mote athletes were so uncovered.
We spared no expense. 1t cost
us more than any other nation.
We took more athletes to Sweden
than we seemed to need, in order
to have surplus.
Thoroughness, enthusiasm and
national pride tell the story.

Curing COnsnmptiOn.

Can consumption be cured? Thousands
of persons are still asking this and it is
largely because Of ignorance upon this
subject that there are so many deaths
from tuberculosis.
The consumptive can be cured if he
takes treatment soon enough and keeps
it up long enough. No doctor can cure
typhoid fever, pneumonia or appendicitis
if the disease has progressed too far. The
same thing is true oftuberculosis. There
fore, If you are losing weight, and have
no appetite; if you are suffering from
night sweats, a persistent cough and
general run down condition, see doctor
at once.
Ifhe tells you to go to a ssnitorium, by
all means go and go at once. IF you are
obliged to take the cure at home, follow
all of your doctors directions minutely.
Live in the open air as much as possible.
Take plenty of milk and eggs. Sleep
outside. Rest all you can. When you
feel better, don't think you are cured. 1t
takes years to make cure permanent.
Above all things remember that there
is no medicine that will cure tn berculosis.
Avoid patent medicines your doctor will
prescribe the simple tonlcs you may
need. The only way to recover is TO
build up the health of your whole body
and the best medicine for this is sunshine,
fresh air, nourishing food, regular living
and rest.-Pennsylvanis Society for the

"Jim" Kightlinger Dead.

The following account of a man we'll
known in this county is from recent
issue of the Mesdvilly Tribune:
Archie Henry received letter Wednes-
day from Erie, announcing the death of
James Kigbtlinger, better known here as
"Jim the Fiddler" which occurred re-
Gently in the Soldiers and Sailors Home.
Mr.. Kightlinger was born in East Fair
field township, this county, March 80,
1888, and was a son of George Kightlinger
pioneer, soldier of the war of 1912, and
one of the largest and strongest men who
ever lived in this section ofthe State. The
son inherited a rugged constitution, and
early developed into strong and fearless
man. When the civil war broke out in
1861 he was in the prime of life. 1t is not
unnatural that he should have desire to
go forth to be defender of his country,
and he enlisted in the State of Illinois and
served faithfully as a soldier.
After the war, Mr.. Kightlinger drifted
to Michigan and was lumberman sew
eral years, during which he had many
thrilling adventures and came out victor
in many severe engagements with the
lumbermen of that State. He returned to
Crawford county in 1872, and most of the
past 40 years of his life was spent here
abouts. He was for several years an in
mate of the Soldiers Home at Quincy
Ill.,, but transferred his bership to the
home at Erie, and died there. "Jim"
Kightlinger had oheckered career, ald
a history of his many adventures would
make an interesting story. He was
violinist and furnished music for many
country dances. He might have been sup
posed by many to have been a man of bad
habits and a vicious nature, but such was
not the case. Beneath a somewhat brusque
character was hidden kind and
honest heart. Mr.. Kightinger is sur
vived by one son, Charles A, of Chicago.
His nearest relative living in Meadvile
is William Kightlinger, nephew. Many
relatives reside east of Meadville in the
vicinity of Kiser hill. The body of "Fid-
dler Jim" was inferred in the cemetery
connected with the Soldiers home at
Erie,

We think ofthe war scenes as o. yesterday,
Have we slept like Rip Van Wrinkle forty
years away.
Don't let such dreams haunt us, oh we
are boys as before,
But the dream left its impress, brows
wrinkled, heads hoar.
But we'll laugh at times traces, laughter
lies close to tears,
And we will think ourselves boys again
after long years,
Which have changed us with joy mingled
with pain,
How often we wish for our dear childhood
again.
There's but few OF us here, where's the
rest of our band,
Beyond mountains and rivers, scattered
over the land
We cannot count them at present, so sun
dered apart,
But they are with us in memory, they are
here in each heart.
They fought in a combat fiercer far than
they dreamed,
Where hosts met in conflict and bayonets
cleaned,
They said here when our nation arose In
its might,
For love of the old flag they strove for the
right,
To be heroes in war was not the boon
of all.
Some died as unmarked as brown leaves
in the fall,
Shall the leaf live again after winter and
frost?
Yes, Philosophy tells us that nothing is
For thirty years past we have met as
Post,
oh, my comrades long ago, We were a
small host,
Our record is closing, life's tale is most
told,
We were young and were gay. but now
we are old.
There are few to say here, to the roll call
to-day,
Many answered deaths angel that called
them away,
We too soon shall hear, when our earthly
cares are done,
And we take longing look at scenes be-
meath the sun.
Let us enjoy life's harvest now let us
gather the sheaves,
Where blossoms were springing In among
the fading leaves,
The stream runs but slowly that was
swift in the spring,
May we all be ready to hail our Father
and King.
And a. our time grows shorter, and swift
ly fits away
May we grow more joyful with each pass.
ing day,
And now in closing may truly quote,
That verse on the life of man that great
Homer wrote.
Like leaves on trees the life of man is
found
Now green in youth now scattered on the
ground,
Another race the following spring supplies
They fall successive, and successive rise. "

POrkey.

The extreme cold weather of the past
few days made us squirm and twist with
rapidity to keep from freezing, but we
have succeeded in preserving our pen
from getting out Of commission, so we are
able to show that Porkey is still on the

Saturday morning to call on friends, and
while here informed us that they are

A Great Work For the Sick.

A preliminary report of the work done
at Bon Air Sanatorlum for the year 1911
shows that Ill patients were treated. rs
discharged, 1906 hospital days furnished,
an average of III days to the patient.
During the month of January will be
offered the regular annual report showing
the scientific results on the rs patien is
that were discharged and the cost of
maintainance. This is a phenomenal
work and when one considers the small
amount of money at hand with which to
carry on such work, 1t is wonderful.
There is hardly town in the surround
ing country but what has its cure from
Bon Air, a living example of what can be
done al this institution. What it needs
most of all is the hearty cooperation of
all, financial assistance from those who
can afford to give, and memberships at S.
year from everybody. Its existence in
sures the individual of place to 20 and
it ought to be worth S. year for that in
surance. Many men throughout the
country could give 500 to Bon Air with
out missing it, and when the debt is
eliminated even more work will be done.
Here is an institution that makes good
before 1t asks for support and it is well
worth the serious thought of every man
who has the interest of the people at
heart

In The Last Ditch.

The political discontents of the country
are dwindling in numbers and are now
fighting in the last ditch. They have
called themselves in turn IN surgents,
progressives and reformers but they have
avoided their real name, place hunters.
Theis purpose from start to finish has
been to defeat Taft for reelection. They
might have been able to accom- plish that
had not every last one of them been
guided by the same purpose and that
purpose was to force themselves into the
White House.
Senator Cummins was the first to take
try 1t being the Presidential candidate.
His ambition lead him into the political
swsmps. Then Senator La Toilette at
tempted wild dash into the arena but he
also made dismal failure. Now the
whole crowd has turned to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, not to save him, but to help
them defeat President Taft.
Col. Roosevelt is not disposed to help
along with the discontents. Time and
again he has declarei that under no cir
cumstances would he get into the contest
against the President. Mr.. Taft only last
week gave notice that he would not con-
test for denomination against his friend
Roosevelt so that so far as may be seen
with the naked eye Mr.. Taft will not
only be renominated but reelected.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania will
holdtheir State con invention at Harrisburg
on May next, when the delegates to the
coming Presidential convention will be
topped off and it is now accepted that
solid Taft delegation will be sent from
this State

THE confession of the Rev. G. T. V
Richeson to the murder of his former
sweetheart, Avis Linnel, while not sur
prising, came as shock to some who had
hoped he might be able to prove his inno-
cence of the revolving crime. The neces-

and the fallen minister will be sentenced
to death, but it is believed he will be
saved from the electric chair by the inter-
