eye became terribly
inflamed and was so
swollen thatforquite
a while I could not

said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type and after ex
hausting their efforts
without doing me
any good they gave
boneless When in
formed that my father had died from
the same disease they said I must die
as hereditary Cancer was incurable
At this crisis I was advised to try
SSS and in a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months then it began to
heal I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en
tirely This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease

Tho principal business of the congress
aside from tho passage of tho appropria

PRESIDENTIAL STUFF
Thom JVho Unvo Attained This Honor
Havo All llnon Motv of Force
It is a remarkablo fact that every
president of tho United States has been
a lawyer with tho exception of five
who havo como into ofilco on tho tido
of popular sympathy nnd admiration
for tboir services as great war gonerals
Lawyers are seldom created by for
tuitous circumstances or by tho influ
ence of their early surroundings and
tho significance of this romark will bo
Mado plainer when it is pointed out
that nearly every president has oyi
donced at an early ago a very decided
inclination toward tho profession of
law and this tendency among somo of
them could not be diverted by tho dic
tates of oxtremo poverty and tho total
lack of facilities for education
Many of them wero brilliant men
whoso education permitted them to
grasp a wido variety of technical sub
jects and who felt the pulse of tho sci
entific world in a general though not
decided way but dominating and col
oring nil their acts and thoughts was
tho ono great hereditary mainspring of
their lives how to know and under
stand nnd appreciate tho relation of
man to man government to govern
ment and finally to control and sway
thom through tho influence of their le
gal logic
There aro hosts of lawyers who daz
zle tho public mind by tho power and
vigor of their word picturing men who
enrry juries off their feet by wonderful
bursts of silver tongued eloquence and
yet they aro unfitted for the presiden
tial chiir simply because they do not
cd coi iict tLic ibir the beautiful rule
ill vcc is prklen
Our presidents without exception
martial and legal alike havo been not
ed for knowing when to keep thoir
mouths shut men who wero not inva
riably diplomatic in their uso of Eng
lish and -Dine who could flavor it up to
the q Kins tato when thoroughly
aroused but withal inclined to commit
themselves but little even in tho sanc
tity of tliir family circle without duo
deliberation and tho weighing of their

His house was burned last November
