clear warning of the disaster that
overwhelmed the party in the congress
sional election of 1910 and which all
but destroyed it in the presidential
election of 1912.
According to a story that was told
of Taft, curious stranger asked a
gatekeeper at the Union Station in
Washington where he would stand the
the few spare hours that he had be-
tween trains. Right where you are"
was the reply Hes always either
taking a train or getting off of one"
Taft was the first president to draw
the present salary of $4,000, as Grant
had been the first to receive $4,000
after the increase from the original
compensation of $4,000 Congress
had also adopted, two years before he
came in, the custom of allowing $685.
600 yearly for the travelling expenses
of the president, and he became the
great presidential traveller, making a
record of 100000 miles in four years,
as he went about the country appeal
inig for reversal of the verdict
against his administration. In vain
he strove to turn back the tide, which
only sported with him.
After having elected him by 1900
600 plurality, the people parted with
Taft more in sorrow than in anger
and most of them still are sor-
ry. They did not question that he
was a good president but that is a
secondary consideration. A president
must be first of all a politician and a
leader.

POWER PLANT AT
VICTORIA FALL S

The project to erect a power plant
at Victoria Falls. on the Zambesi rir-
er. in South Africa, has been revived
and it is exceedingly likely that a
$50, 900 horsepower plant will soon be
under way at that place. 1t has been
under discussion for many years. but
the one thing which stood in the way
was the proximity of cheap coal, but
this fuel is now at such price that
there is demand for hydro-eiectrfc
power. Current will probably be con-
veyed to the Rand mines, 900 miles
away. see 7'fsss, ttS' 4t1Esf

WOMEN OF EGYPT ARE ACTIVE

Draws Comment From High
Commissioner.

London.-Egyptian women are at
last beginning to take an interest In
public affairs, particularly In the
schools. Niscount Miner in his re-
port as high commissioner of Egypt.
says that no change in that country in
the Inst few years is more striking
than the awakening interest Of women
In affairs outside of the home.
The commissioner added that a few
years ago 1t was rare to find moth
or showing a direct personal interest
in the welfare of her daughter ut
school. All this was left to the fa-
thcr, who often had to overcome the
mothers opposition to the education
Of her daughter.
During the last few years these
conditions have changed In the larger
towns where mothers now visit the
schools and discuss their daughters

This change is attributed by the
high commissioner largely to cduca-

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensivcly advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kiImcrs Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
