Appetite and Has Gained In
Weight.

F.. "After what Tanlac has done for
our daughter, Annie Ruth, can't
help but believe in the medicine, and
I'm right glad of the chance to rec
ommend it," said George W. Karr,
well-known farmer of Villa Rica,
Georgia.
Our daughter, who is just four
teen years old, suffered from asthma
for fully five or six years. Her throat
used to swell up and get very sore,
and in any kind of bad weather, or if
she. made the least extra exertion.
she would have a bad spell. Her
breathing would get difficult and she
would almost cough herself to pieces.
This coughing came on very bad at
nights and kept her awake for hours.

bad that we feared she would choke

days meeting.
Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader,
now in federal prison in Atlanta, was
Sunday officially nominated for the
fifth time for the presidency of the
United States at the socialist mass

in speaking posture, with flaming
red background was unveiled over the
speakers stand.

Montezuma's well, natural lake fed
by artesian flow at Camp Verde, Ariz.,
which has been offered for sale
to the federal government, Is one
Of the geological features OF that
neiRhborhood. Surrounded, as 1t Is,
by high natural walls, 1t seems from
q distance to be small mountain.
The outside Of these walls was pierced
in a prehistoric age by cliff jewellers.
The well is a great spring and has
been used for irrigation purposes for
many years. It's depth has never been
absolutely ascertained, but is known
to be In excess Of 800 feet. The wa
ter is highly charged with lime, and
moss removed from the inside walls
and exposed to the air soon petrines,

inhabitants Of the valley with water
for their fields and gardens is estab-
lished by the tracing Of a system OF
irrigation bitches. which, according to
biologists, must have been construct
ed more than a thousand years ago.
The water they carried deposited lime
along the entire system, and the forma-
ton, which may be seen now, is solid
mass Of stone, resembling concrete OF
this day. The walls of the bitches, in
places, measure more than three feet
thick. The builders performed an en-
cheering feat which could not be i'm

WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH

Her Effort.

In the East side Of New York as
In the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter of Paris or Judengasse OF Ber-
lin. thousands Of Jewish mothers and
grandmothers gathered the little
daughters Of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered, do you know what Ruth said
to NaomiT
yes" each little girl replied eager
". She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest, will go; and where thou lodg-
est, I will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my Cod"
And, beaming her pride, each moth.
er then said:
Good! Here is a cake for you"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered In. The broom was just as
much a part Of the ceremony as the
reward Of cake. With 1t one could

The Philadelphia Fourth Of July
celebration Of 1777 was public DEM
onstration, planned In advance. For
tunately we have short contemporary
account Of what took place. The
Pennsylvania Gazette, published week
ly by John Dunlap, tells in its issue
of July 9, 1777, Of this first Of long
line of Independence day celebrations.
Here is the full accounts
"Friday, the fourth instant, being
the anniversary Of the independence
of America, was celebrated in this
CITY with demonstrations Of JOY and
feStivity.
about noon, all the armed ships
! and galleys in the river were drawn
I'D before the city, dressed in the gay
est manner, with the colors OF the
United States and streamers displayed.
At l o'clock the yards being properly
manned, they began the celebration
Of the day by discharge of thirteen
cannon from each of the galleys In
honor of the thirteen United States
"In the afternoon an elegant dinner
was prepared for congress, to which
were invited the president and SUI
preme executive council and speaker
Of the assembly Of this state, the gen.
eral officers and colonies of the army
and the members Of the several con-
tinental boards who were In town.
1.-THE Hessian band Of music taken
in Trenton the twenty-sixth of De-
cember last attended and heightened
the festivity with some fine perform
ances suited to the joyous occasion,
while a corps Of British deserters
taken into the service of the Cont
nent by the State Of Georgia, being
drawn up before the door, filled up
the intervals with feux de Joie.
after dinner a number Of toasts
we're drunk, all breathing independ
ence and a genuine love Of liberty and
commemorating the memories OF those
brave and worthy patriots who gal
lantly exposed their lives and fell glori
ously In defense Of freedom and the
righteous cause Of their country.
Zach toast was followed by a dis
charge of artillery and small arms
and a suitable piece Of music by the
Hessian band. The glorious Fourth
Of July was reiterated three times
accompanied with triple discharges o.
cannon and small arms.
"Toward evening several troops Of
} horse and corps Of artillery and
brigade of North Carolina forces which
was In town on its way to join thu
J grand army were drawn up In Sec
ond street and reviewed by congress
and the general officers.

all ready to vote on 1t. June 10, con-
gress postponed final consideration for
8 weeks. June II, congress appointed
a committee Of five to draw up the
Declaration Of independence. Lee
would naturally have been made chair
man, but he had been called home by
the illness of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son Of Virginia was made chairman
and his colleagues were John Adams
Of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin
Of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman OF
Connecticut and Robert L. Livingston
of New York. The committee In
structed Jefferson to write out a draft
of the Declaration. Jefferson did so.
The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made a clean copy.
Congress reassembled July 1, and the
Lee resolution was passed July 2.
How this action was then regarded Is
shown by John Adams letter to his
wife, in which he said:
1.-THE second day of July, 1776, will
be the most memorable epoch in the
history Of America. I am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generation as the great ami
versary. festival. It ought to be COM
memorated as the day Of deliverence
by solemn acts Of devotion to God
Almighty. 1t ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, bells, bonfres, and IL
Elimination from one end Of this con-
tinent to the other, from this time
forward forevermore."
Jefferson then presented the report
of the Declaration committee, the docu-
ment now known as the Declaration
of Independence. It was adopted the
afternoon Of July 4. John Hancock,
as president Of the congress, affixed
his signature. Charles Thompson
countersigned as secretary. 1t was
then printed and sent off to the sew
eral colonies. July 10, the clerk was
instructed to prepare the document for
signatures. Properly engrossed, it was
signed by all who were present-6
members. Others signed In Septem'
Der and one member, Colonel Mexican
did not sign until 1871. Seven mem
bers, for one reason or another, never
did sign it.

to receive its Declaration Of hide

July 8, a general election day in Penn
