Rheumatism Vanishes Leo. H. Fihe Has Secured the Agency for Rheuma and Guarantees it.

The hundreds of people Jn Richmond, Ind., who have suffered the terrible agony of Uheumatlsm will be delighted to learn that Leo H. Fihe has finally secured the agency for Rheuma, already the most famous prescription for the quick cure of Rheumatism the world has ever known. To promptly introduce the remedy to the sufferers of Richmond, Ind., Leo 1L Fihe has decided to return the purchase price if Rheuma does not produce satlHfactory results. The price of Rheuma is only 50c a bottle, and we are sure that hundreds will give it a trial after reading Leo H. Fihe's generous offer. Rheuma cures Rheumatism by acting directly on the kidneys. It disBolves the uric acid, drives the poison from the system, builds up and puts activity into the tissues of the kidneys and makes them strong enough to afterward cast off all Impurities without aid.

PUBLIC LANDS ft THEME FOB TAFT

IN HIS MESSAGE

(Continued From Page One.)

It sehs' W me" tfta? ft Is fEe" duty "of congress now, by a statute, to validate the withdrawals which have been made by the secretary of the Interior and the president and to autorize the secretary of the interior temporarily to withdraw lands pending submission to congress of recommendations as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they arise. Should Classify Lands. One of the most pressing needs in the matter of publio land reforms is that lands should be classified according to their principal value or use. This ought to be done by that department whose force is best adapted to that work. It should be done by the Interior department through the geological survey. Much of the oonfuslon, fraud and contention which has existed in the past has arisen from the lack of an official and determinative classification of the public lands and their contents. It is now proposed to dispose of agricultural lands as such and at the same Time to reserve for other disposition the treasure of coal, oil, asphaltum, natural gas and phosphate contained therein. This may be best accomplished by separating the right to mine from the title to the surface, giving the necessary use of much of the latter as may be required for the extraction of the deposits. The surface might be disposed of as agricultural land under the general agricultural statutes, while the coal or other mineral could be disposed of by lease on a royalty basis, with provisions requiring a certain amount of development each year, and In order to prevent the use and cession of such lands with others of similar character so as to constitute a monopoly forbidden by law, the lease should contain suitable provision subjecting to forfeiture the interest of persons participating in such monopoly. Such law should apply to Alaska as well as to the United States. With respect to the public land which lies along the streams offering opportunity to convert water power Into transmissible electricity, another important phase of the publio land question is presented. There are valuable water power sites through all the public land states. The opinion is held that the transfer of sovereignty from the federal government to the territorial governments as they become states included the water power in the rivers except so far as that owned by riparian proprietors. . I do not think It necessary to go Into a discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. Water Power Important. The development In electrical appliances for the conversion of the water power into electricity to be transmitted long distances has progressed so far that it Is no longer problematical, but it is a certain inference that in the future the power of the water falling In the streams to a large extent will take the place of natural fuels. In the disposition of the domain already granted many water power sites have come under absolute ownership and may drift Into one ownership, so that all the water power - under private ownership shall be a monopoly. If, however, the water power sites now owned by the government and there are enough of them shall be disposed of to private persons for the investment of their capital In such a way as to prevent tffelr union for purposes of monopoly with other water power sites and under conditions that shall limit the right of use to not exceeding fifty years with proper means for determining a reasonable graduated rental and with some equitable provision for fixing terms of renewal, it would seem entirely possible to prevent the absorption of these most useful lands by a power monopoly. As long as the government retains c ntrol and can prevent their improper union with other plants competition must be maintained and prices kept reasonable. Government Should Help Settlers. One of the difficulties which have arisen is that too many projects in view of the available funds have been set on foot. The funds available un1er the reclamation statute are Inadequate to complete these projects witnin a reasonable time, and yet the projects have been begcu.i Settlers have been Invited to take up and in many Instances have taken up the public land within the project?, relying upjn their prompt completion. The failure to complete the projects for their benefit Is, In effect, a breach of faith and leaves them in a most distressed condition. I urg that tlit nation ought to .afford the meAns tq HfLthemput of

the very deip?rn.Te comiriion in which they now are. This condition does not Indicate any excessive waste or any corruption on the part of the reclamation service. It only indicates an overzealDus desire to extend the benefit of reclamation to. as many acres and as many states as possfble. I recommend, therefore, ihat authority be given to issue not exceeding 30,000,C00 of bonds from time to time, as (he secretary of the interior shall find It necessary, the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the projects already begun and their proper extension and the bonds running ten years or more, to be taken up by the proceeds of returns to the reclamation fund, which returns as the years go on will increase rapidly in amount. There is no doubt at all that if these bonds were to be allowed to run ten years the proceeds from the public lands, together with the rentals for water furnished through the completed enterprises would quickly create a sinking fund large enough to retire the bonds within the time specified. I hope that, while the statute shall provide that these bonds are to be pM out of the reclamation fund, it will ue drawn in such a way as to secure interest at the lowest rate and that the credit of the United States will be pledged for their redemption.

I urge consideration of the recommendations of the secretary of the interior in bis annual report for amendments of the reclamation act, proposing other relief for settlers on these projects. Respecting the comparatively small timbered area of the public domain not included in national forests because of their isolation or their special value for agricultural or mineral purposes, it is apparent from the evils resulting by virtue of the imperfections of existing laws for the disposition of timber lands, that the act of June 3, 1878, should be repealed and a law enacted for the disposition of the timber at public sale, the lands after the removal of the timber to be subject to appropriation under the agricultural or mineral land laws. Must Maintain Forests. The forest reserves of the United States, some 190,000,000 acres in extent, are under the control of the department of agriculture, with authority adequate to preserve them and to ex tend their growth so far as that may be practicable. The Importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated. The possibility of a scientific treatment of forests so that they shall be made to yield a large return in timber without really reducing the supply has been demonstrated In other countries, and we should work toward the standard set by them as far as their methods are applicable to our conditions. It has been proposed, and a bill for the purpose passed the lower house in the last congress, that the national government appropriate a certain amount each year out of the receipts from the forestry business of the government to institute reforestation at the sources of certain navigable streams to be selected by the geological survey, with a view to determining the practicability of thus improving end protecting the streams for federal purposes. I think moderate expenditure for each year for this purpose for a period of five or ten years would bo of the utmost benefit in the development of our forestry system. Improving Inland Waterways. I come now to the improvement of the inland waterways. He would be blind indeed who did not realize that the people of the entire west, and especially those of the Mississippi valley, have been aroused to the need there is for the improvement of our Inland waterways. The Mississippi river, with the Missouri on the one hand and the Ohio on the other, would seem to offer a great natural means of interstate transportation and traffic. How far, If properly Improved, they would relieve the railroads or supplement them In respect to the balkier and cheaper commodities to a matter of conjecture. No enterprise ought to be undertaken the cost of which is not definitely ascertained and the benefit and advantage of which are not known and assured by competent engineers and other authority. When, however, a project of a definite character for the improvement of a waterway has been developed so that plans have been drawn, the cost definitely estimated and the traffic which will be accommodated is reasonably probable, I think jt ls.thejiutjr.of congress to uu-

PERFECT CONFIDENCE

Richmond People Have Good Reason For Complete Reliance. Do you know how To find quick relief from backache; To correct distressing urinary ills; To surely cure sick kidneys? Just one way your neighbors knowHave used Doan's Kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Here's Richmond testimony. David Hershey, 316 South Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I was troubled for some time by kidney complaint and the remedies I tried did not help me. Often I was hardly able to straighten on account of sharp, cutting pains across the small of my back and the least exertion or any cold I contracted caused the kidney secretions to pass too frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store, cured me and at that time I publicly recommended them. I now gladly confirm all I then said, as I still firmly "believe that Doan's Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy for kidney disorders." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.. Foster-Milburn Co..

deilaKo Tee "proje?C arid inaWe" provision therefore in the proper appropriation bill. One of the projects which answer the description I have givenMs that of introducing dams into the Ohio river from Pittsburg to Cairo, so as to maintain at all seasons of the year by slack water a depth of nine feet. Upward of seven of these dams have already been constructed and six are under construction, while the total required is fifty-four. The remaining cost is known to be 163.000,000. It seems to me that in the development of our inland waterways it would be wise to begin with this particular project and carry it through as rapidly as may be. I assume from reliable information that It can be constructed economically In ten years. I recommend, therefore, that the present congress, In the river and harbor bill, make provision for continuing contracts to complete this improvement, and I shall recommend in the future, If It be necessary, that bonds be Issued to carry it through. What has been said of the Ohio river Is true in a less complete way of the Improvement of the upper Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis to a constant depth of six feet and of the Missouri from Kansas City to St. Louis to a constant depth of six feet, and from St Louis to Cairo of a depth of eight feet. These projects have been pronounced practical by competent boards of army engineers, their cost has been estimated, and there is business which will follow the improvement. Traffic Is Increasing. As these improvements are betas made and the traffic encouraged by them shows itself of sufficient importance, the improvement of the Mississippi beyond Cairo down to the gulf, which is now going on with the maintenance of a depth of nine feet everywhere, may be changed to another and greater depth if the necessity for it shall appar to arise out of the traffic which can be delivered on the river at Cairo. I am Informed that the Investigation by the waterways commission in Europe shows that the existence of a waterway by no means assures traffic unless there is traffic adapted to water carriage at cheap rates at one end or the other of the stream. It also appears in Europe that the depth of the non-tidal streams Is rarely more than six feet and never more than ten. But It is certain that enormous quantities of merchandise are transported over the rivers and canals in Germany and France and England, and it is also certain that the existence of such methods of traffic materially affects the rates which the railroads charge, and it is the best regulator of those rates that we have, not even excepting the governmental regulation through the Interstate commerce commission. For this reason I hope that this congress will take such steps that it may b called the inaugurator of the new system of inland waterways. For reasons which It is not necessary here to state, congress has seen fit to order an Investigation into the interior department and the forest service of the agricultural department. The results of that Investigation are not needed to determine the value of and the necessity for the new legislation which I have recommended in respect to the public lands and In respect to reclamation. I earnestly urge that the measures recommended be taken up and disposed of promptly without awaiting the Investigation which has been determined upon. WILLIAM H. TAFT.

NUDITY IN ART

New York Press.) The slashing into ribbons of Kenyon Cox's painting called "The Girl With the Red Hair," a study of the nude owned by the Art Students League, was the work, it is supposed either of merely mischievous rogue or of a prude in art. In sculpture it is certainly true that the most beautiful and tbe most dignified work has always been in the nude. No combination of garments has ever been invented which could give the opportunity for beautiful modeling presented by the bare human body. Subtle differences of surface and line by which the sculptor gets his "color" can not be obtained from any other model so completely as from the nude human model. Of painting this is not true, but it is true that even in painting the nude is capable of great beauty and of a disnity which is much less easily attained In clothes, for the reason that then the lines are not so pure, the effect of form is not so essential, the general result is more decorative, and consequently less fundamental. The prudish, puritanical dislike of the nude fortunately Is on the decrease, not only as regards plastic art, but also in other ways. The new style of dancing Is showing people not only that nudity may be beautiful, but that it may be treated In a much more dignified and less suggestive way than many methods of wearing clothes. The dancing of Isadora Duncan and her school is not only beautiful, but it is far more dignified and chaste than much of the dancing which preceded it and which was "fully clothed." It is as lacking in immorality as a Greek frieze. In fact, it is beginning to be seen that the nude, instead of leading to immoral suggestion, has the opposite effect when treated with simplicity and dignity. In this respect our society is much more civilized that it was a few years ago. Our increased Interest in art, increased knowledge of beautiful art objects abroad, and our developing taste in general have tended to take away that prudishness in regard to the nude which has no more relation to morality than light has to darkness.

(American News Service) Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 14. After a 23-mile trip across country, the balloon "Los Angeles" piloted by J. C. Mars of Oakland, and carrying as passengers Mrs. Ida M. Gregory, Miss Mae Myers, Miss Bertha Freund and K. D. Bernard of the New York Aero club, landed safely in the upper end of the San Fernando valley and its passengers returned to this city today. The balloon ascended from Huntington park. At an altitude of 3,500 feet the big bag ran into a forty-five an hour gale of wind that carried it to the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains. A drop into lower altitudes saved the party from being swept over the range into the Santa Clara valley.
