PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from page 6.) Magellan to visit the Pacific coast. Sixteen battleships are going under the command of Rear Admiral Evans, while eight armored cruisers and two other battleships will meet him in San Francisco, whither certain torpedo destroyers are also going. No fleet of such size has ever made such a voyage, and It will be of very great educational use to all engaged In it The only way by which to teach officers and men how to handle the fleet so as to meet every possible strain and emergency in time of war is to have them practice under similar conditions in time of peace. The president recommends the increased pay for both officers and enlisted men and advises promotion by selection above the grade of lieutenant commander. Foreign Affairs. In foreign affairs, the president says, this country’s steady policy is to behave toward other nations as a strong and self respecting man should behave toward the other men with whom he Is brought into contact in other words, our aim is disinterestedly to help other nations where such help can be wisely : given without the appearance of meddllng with what does not concern us, to be careful to act as a good neighbor and at the same time in good natured fashion to make it evident that we do I not intend to be imposed upon. The president refers at length to The Hague peace conference. He believes it accomplished much good work. Postal Savings Banks. The president says on postal affairs: I commend to the favorable consideration of the congress a postal savings bank system as recommended by the postmaster general. Timid depositors have withdrawn their savings for the time being from national banks, trust companies and savings banks, individuals have hoarded their cash and the workingmen their earnings, all of which money has been withheld and kept in hiding or in the safe deposit box to the detriment of prosperity. Through the agency of the postal savings banks such money would be restored to the channels of trade, to the mutual benefit of capital and labor. I further commend to the congress the consideration of the postmaster general’s recommendation for an extension of the parcel post, especially on the rural routes. It would be a most desirable thing to put the fourth class postmasters in the classified service. Other recommendations are: Deepening of the inland waterways, especially of the Mississippi river system, to make them great national highways. The repeal of the tariff on forest products, especially the duty on wood pulp. The amendment of the public land laws to make them more effective

Passed Examination Successfully. James Donahue, New Britain, Conn., writes: "I tried several kidney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve until I took Foley’s Kidney Cure.

I have since passed a rigid examination for life insurance.” Foley's Kidney Cure cures backache and ail forms of kidney and bladder trouble. i THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

Weeds Worth Millions. Zealand flax is one of a numwild weeds that yield their gatherers great wealth. The flax, the strongest known, grows wild in marshes. When it is cultivated it dwindles and its fibers become brittle and valueless. Indian hemp grows wild, and out of It hasheesh, or keef, is made. Keef looks like flakes of chopped straw. It is smoked in a pipe; it is eaten on liver; it is drunk in water; it produces an intense, a delirious happiness, and among orientals it takes the place of beer and whisky. The most valuable weed of all the wild growths is the seaweed. The nitrate beds of South America, which yield something like $65,000,000 a year, are nothing but beds of seaweed decomposed.—Columbus Dispatch. One Kind of Fame. Authorities who have in charge some of England’s ancient treasures try to discourage the habit of carving initials on these relics. A fine of sls was recently Imposed on a man who had chipped bis name in letters six inches high on one of the stones in the “Druids’ Circle” near Keswick. Close to the giant stone globe at Swanage a special slab is provided for the harmless reception of the names of all who are addicted to this self advertisement On popular Alpine summits Jt I is customary for names to be left on cards in emptied wine bottles.—Chicago News. , A Story of Beau Nash. Beau Nash was not entirely a butterfly, as is proved by the following anecdote: His father was a partner in a glass business at Swansea. This was little known, and the Duchess of MarlI borough once twitted him with the ob--1 scurity of his birth. “Madam,” replied Nash, “I seldom mention my father in company, not because I have any reason to be ashamed of him, but because he has some reason to be ashamed of me.”

Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N Y . had a very remarkable experience, he says: “Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart trouble; two called it kidney troub’e; the f ° urth ’ blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to perfect health. One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescribed.” Guaranteed for blood poison, weakness and all stomaca, iver and kidney complaints by Page Blackburn druggist, 50c. _ When the Stomach, Heart or Kidney nerves get weak, then these organs always fail. Don’t drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That is simply a makeshift. Get a prescription known to Druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The Restorative is prepared expressly for these weak inside nerves. Strengthen these nerves, build ttf-m up with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, tablets or liquid. and see how quickly help will come.
