The Message is in favor of in

Mexico to lead in a religious

it might result in the turning

way. Burch works for all the

yet in December 1854, when Napoleon
III offered to send re-enforcements OF
10000 men to the Crimea, II We would
convey them, the government was on
the point Of declining, on the ground
that no transports were available for
such work. 1t was eventually decided
to ask some of the great steamship
companies for assistance, and at the
next cabinet Sir James Graham an
nounced that this had been done. mr..
Cunard," he added, "can provide inn

leaving the question Of payment to be
settled subsequently by arbitration.

Secretary Garrison exhibits peevishness
at the criticisms by former President Taft
of the policy pursued by the administra-
ton in the Philippines. The war secretary
hints somewhat broadly at malicious par
tisanship," as if the exprcsident were par
ticipating in an INSCRIPTIONS conspiracy to
GUST the Democrats from power. If Mr..
Garrison had stopped to think, instead of
being carried away by his irritated feel
ings, he would have known that Mr.. Taft
has been sincere and honest supporter of
the present administration at every point
where he could find anything to praise
He has been a fair and lberalminded
critic and the American people know that
the former president, in pointing out the
mistakes of management in the Philip
pines, IS speaking from deep conviction
based on the evidence which has come to
him from many sources. Mr.. Taft knows
great deal about the Philippines He
was the first governor general of the is
lands, and he displayed genuine patriotism
in going there to take up a difficult con
structive work, at a time when his ambi-
/ ton was along other lines. When il
comes to an argument on Philippine mat
tiers between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Garrison
the latter is heavily handicapped.

The announcement of the Presidents
purpose to consult with Republicans re
sarding his plan for national defense indi-
Gates change in his attitude almost as
great as that shown 10y his shift on the
question Of military preparedness. 1t IS
only 10 months ago that Mr.. Wilson went
to indianapolis and made his jackson day
speech His utterances then demonstrated
his opinion that the Republican party mer-
tied no consideration whatever in national
affairs He declared the party to be a
covert and a refuge for those who are
afraid Is that why he Is now turning to
! the Republican party? Is he afraid that
his belated conversion to preparedness can
not be imposed upon his party in congress
and is he therefore turning to the Repub-
hcan party as "a covert and a refuge?

Brattleboro isn't much of Gretna Green
after all, and as a tier of nuptial knots
Justice Hopkins is asked to go way back
and sit down. Down at Bristol, Tenn,
Rev Alfred H Burroughs, who is called
Tennessees marrying parson, has already
married 4 ,991 couples in the last % years
He hopes to rally in nine more this month
to make it an even 5000. There is one ex-
PLANTATION needed, however. 1t is this ::
Should Tennessee raise the age limit it
would be disastrous to the parsons lucra-
tive business. Whereas should Virginia
modify its law under which a person under
21 cannot be married except with the con
sent of the parent guardian, it would be
likewise ruinous to the marrying business.
Practically all Of the 1901 couples that
the parson has married have been clippers
from Virginia, attracted to Bristol on ac-
count of the states liberal marriage law,
permitting the marriage of girls Is or over,
regardless OF parental consent.

The bicycle is a tWo-egged remInis-
eence which started out as a common
carrier, but is now almost as rare as
the chicken in chicken sandwich.
The time was when bicycles were as
thick as wheels of fortune at a street
carnival, but nowadays they are
bigger curiosity than fresh egg.
The bicycle was put on the market
about thirty years ago, and the first
model was not intended to be used by
anybody except reckless individuals
who were at least three-fourths pure
para rubber. This model consisted of
a front wheel seven feet high followed
by small wheel with a step on it.
This step was responsible for more
broken shinbones than all the spit
balls ever thrown, as ii had to lie To-
Gated with one wildly waving leg,
which usually ran into it in the wrong
degree of longitude. This bicycle was
also highly productive of the unpre-
meditated header, which ruined thous-
ands Of new Derby hats and filled the
hospitals with people who had to he
treated for Il conclusion instead OF a
vacuum.
There were so many accidents and
dislocatcd ears as a result of trying
to subdue this dangerous machine that
the safety bicycle was invented. This
had enc big advantage over the high
protected by The Ada

DRINK Water TO
AVOID SICKNESS
SAYS AUTHORITY
Glass of hot water before breakfast
daily keeps the doc
tor away

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity The
latest application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
1t Is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system o.
the human body as it is to the drains
Of the house
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffv from cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can instead, feel as fresh as
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
brea kfast, drink glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins: thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentarv canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
| waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
| phosphated hot water is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside or
gans.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow skins
blood disorders and sickly complexions
are urged to get a quarter pound OF
limestone phosphate from the drug
store. This will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of in
| ternal sanitation.

wheel machine. as it could be mounted
without climbing out of the second
story window. 1t consisted of So
worth of mechanism and $113 worth of
patent rights, and did net weigh much
more than prize steer When the
owner of one of these early models had
pushed the machine down to the pest
office and back, without having to stop
for lunch and Swedish massage, he
felt able to propel player plane
through . four-rccl overture without
buckling at the knees.
The bicycle is ridden in these days
mostly by messenger boys who are not
in hurry to reach any particular spot
and by elderly citizens who have
grown tired of acting as chambermaid
for the family driving horse. A man
with long, 1.-THE legs can learn TO ride
bicycle in short time, as he can
prop himself up at a moment s notice
with one leg pointing rigidly toward
the setting sun. 1t is harder work for
short man, who usually has to spoil a
few picket fences before becoming
proficient.
Owing to the rising cost of gasoline
and differential gears, the bicycle is be-
coming more popular than heretofore
with people who object to being towe !
into town after dark by some kind
Samaritan whose time is worth 1913
an hour.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 3.-When Mrs.
Gait returns here at the end of the
week she will practically have her
trousseau complete. The date for the
wedding still is secret, but the work
of addressing the envelopes which are
to carry the announcements after the
ceremony is being diligently pursued

of great magnitude. There will be
thousands of the missives and accord

"Mrs. William FL. Boiling announces
the marriage of her daughter. Edith
Boiling Gait, to Mr.. Woodrow Viii
SON. -
There is another authority who
claims that the announcements sent to
the crowned heads Of Europe and the
diplomats will read that 1.-the Presi-
dent Of the United States announces
his marriage" The simpler form was
used in announcing the marriage of
the President s daughter to the seere-
tary Of the treasury.

Newspapers throughout the country
lately have been agitating the question OF
changing the day of the week for which
Thanksgiving day is set. It is argued that
the observance of the holiday on Thursday
breaks into the week badly and causes an
noyance to employers and employees alike,
There Is much to be said in favor OF
changing the holiday to Monday, and very
little to be said against it, Such change
would result in the same kind of double
holiday as resulted this year through the
coming of Memorial day and Fourth OF
July on Saturday.
