THOUSANDS DRINK

a Sample Will Help

Have you visited the Vitalitas display
now in progress in this city? Have you
tested Nitalitas by having a drink OF
it in diluted form? If not don't let this
week close without doing it, Thousands
are testing it and are better off for even
one drink of it. 1t is no refreshment by
any means; it is medicine and a most
wonderful one, yet 1t is not unpleasant
to take.
Some of the famous health waters
of the world have, in mild form, a por-
tion of the virtues of Nitalitas. The
Carlsbad waters of Europe, the Hot
Springs of America for instance. have
been famous for ages for their cura-
tive properties. Yet they have in only
a small degree the potency and medical
efficiency of Nitalitas. one teaspoonfull
of Nitalitas in a half glass of water
makes a draught that is unequalled by
the mineral waters of any land Nitali-
tas is pure, free of adulteration and
just as nature produced it 1t is today
the greatest known natural tonic and
system cleanser. 1t assists in sweeping
away some of the most troublesome dis =

sa tlrieally introduced to an audience as
"the general manager of the United
States that appellation lived through
the administrations OF Mckinley, Roose-
welt and Taft
Probably the greatest parlamentarian
that ever served in the Senate, Mr.. AID
rich had no difficulty in maintaining lead
ership of his party. Although known
among the veterans as a COMMITTEE"
senator he was quite a much at home
on the floor and naturally was more in
evidence in the larger arena. While he
gave special attention to the tariff and
financial legislation in committee, on the
Senate floor his ear was open for all
that was said on any subject of general
Importance. He seldom failed to par
ticipate in the discussion of any measure
affecting governmental policies.
Naturally Mr.. Aldrich's long-continued
supremacy in the counsels of his party
and in directing legislation caused him
to become the subject of much adverse
criticism. He was charged with bossism
and with being the tool of the Inter
ests.' Whether or not this was true in
the main, it can be said in fairness that
some of these assertions gained and held
currency because it was his policy never
to defend himself against published at
tacks. He rarely permitted himself to
ne quoleu ny lHe press.
Friendly to Rockefeller
The fact that his daughter was mar
ried to a son of John ID. Rockefeller
served to strengthen the popular impress
sion that Senator Aldrich was in some
way peculiarly friendly to the oil mag
nate, and considerate of the so-called
Rockefeller interests" Yet, when /
friend Of the senator once asked him for
letter to Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Aldrich
replied:
''As 1 have met Mr. Rockefeller only
twice in my life ! fear the letter would
be OF but little if any assistance to you.
In legislation he was charged with be =
ing sectional This is hardly borne out
by the facts, and more than once he
gained his points by utilizing the conflict
OF interests between west and south and
east.
A temporary opponent within his own
party when suddenly deprived of the floor
during a debate OIL proposed currency re-
forms eXpostulated in vain. As he took
his seat he said: 1.-The Senate no longer
