NEW YORK, June 26.-In letter
to the Progressive National commit.
tee which was made public here to.
day Col. Theodore Roosevelt formally
declines the presidential nomination
rendered him by the Progressive Ma
uonal convention and makes fervent
plea to the Progressives of the nation
to support Charles E. Hughes. who,
he says, hsa shown in his career the
instinct of efficiency which will guar.
antee that, under him, the government
will once more work with vigor and
force.
Colonel Roosevelt makes It plain
that in thus acting he is not aband.
oning the principles Of the Progress
sive movement. On that point he de-
clares:
Sooner or later the national prin-
ciples championed by the Progress
slves Of 1912 must In their general
effect be embodied In the structure
OF our national existence. With
all my heart l shall continue to
work for these great ideals, shoul-
der to shoulder with the men and
women who in 1912 ,championed
them; and ! am sure that these
men and women will show a like
loyalty to the other, the fundamen.
tai, ideals which the events OF the
past two years have proven to be
vital to the permanency of our ma
tional existence. The method by
which We are to show our loyalty =
to these ideals must be determined
In each case by the actual event.
Our loyalty Is to the fact, to the
principle, to the ideal. and not mere
ly to the name. and least Of all to
the party name.
Taking up the matter uppermost in
his owa mind and the minds of the
voters who followed him in 1912 Col.
onel Roosevelt calls attention to the
fact that while the Progressive party
has done much for the Progressive
movement in this country "it has be.
come entirely evident that the people
under existing conditions are not pre-.
pared to accept new party" Contin.
uing he says: .
ut is impossible for US Progressives
to abandon our convictions. But We
are faced with the fact that as things
actually are the Progressive National
organization no longer offers the means
whereby we can make these convic-
tions effective in our national life. I'm.

attack Of the grip or tonsilitis, some
one OF these things is doubtless respon.
sible for the condition Of the child who
shows q decline in health now.
What are the symptoms? Pallor and
languor, q tickle appetite, dark rings
under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very
often the best efforts OF the family
physician fail in such cases and the
condition OF the child causes the most
intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, 80 often
prescribed, generally fails because the
weak stomach IL unable TO digest fats.
Try this treatment. Before break
fast each morning give the child the
Juice Of half an orange. After the noon
meal give one Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Keep this up for few days and
then give oue Of the pills after the
evening meal also. Weigh the child
before beginning the treatment and
again after two weeks. An increase in
weight Of from two TO five pounds will
show you that you are on the right
track at last. Care is necessary in the
diet Of the patient and it will be we'll

WHAT IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cub
ture and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no Thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, excelled in beautiful and SYM
metricai forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper exer-
else. Then, TOO, they were untram-
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea OF hard
Snued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
