OLD LINE DEMOCRATS BOLT.
Predicted that Maryland Will Give Tafi
30,000 Majority.
Dr. James E. Sullivan, a prominent cot
tager at Xarragansett Pier and a presi
dential elector on the Parker ticket foi
Rhode Island four years ago, upon learning
of the nomination of \Y. J. Bryan as the
Democratic presidential candidate, ge.ee
out a statement declaring his intention to
vote for William U. Taft in November.
Eugene W. Leake, Democratic member of
Congress fir the ninth district of New
Jersey, has written to Win. II. Taft an
nouncing that he will vote fur Mr. Taft and
offering his services to the Republican
nominee during the campaign. In his letter
Mr. Leake makes this statement: “The
conservative citizens of this country, who
are neither reactionary nor the representa
tives of predatory wealth or special inter
ests, hut who desire a rigid enforcement of
the law with equal handed justice, must,
loot: to on for protection against the wave
of radical Sm and class prejudice which
will follow ’.lie Denver convention.”
Democratic financiers and bankers of
Baltimore are coming out for Taft and
Mu-noun. Michael Jenkins, president of
the Safe Dmv>i: Trust Company, and
fermei p; eMdent of the Merchants *\r
Aimers’ Transportation Company, a promi
21 •-*’ 11 Democrat, said that he would not vote
“It is my opinion,” said Mr.
Jenkin>, “that Bryan will lose Maryland
by no,00" majority, lie has never won :n
Maiyland, and I see no reason why lie
should carry it this year. His election
would be a >erious blow to the country. 1
trust that Taft will be conservative in his
letter of acceptance ol tin* Republican nom
ination, e>pecially on the anti-injunction
plank." Alexander Brown, of the banking
house of Brown A: Sons, also advocates the
election of Taft. “Although a firm believer
in the policies >f the Democratic party as
upheld by Cleveland,” said Mr. Brown, “it
is my firm conviction that the interests of
the country would be safer in the hands of
Tuft than* in the hands of Bryan, and I
shall accordingly vote the Republican tick
et." Several Democratic presidents of
banks take the same position. Members of
the Baltimore Stock Exchange, almost to a
man, are for Taft.
IS SUMMER TRYING UPON YOUR
HEALTH?
You Need a Tonic to Keep I p Your Strength
Not a Laxative to Further Weaken the Body
Not all tonics are suitable for use during
the. hot months. Many tonic preparations
are also purgatives and tend to aggravate a
condition prevalent in summer.
If you are weak and run-down, pale and
without energy and ambition, take a sug
ge.-tioi. fi iini the hot countries of South and
Central America where the tonic remedy
almost exclusively used is Dr. Williams’
pink Piils. The reason for the popularity
of these piiis in regions where it is always
>ummer m that they have no laxative action,
thev build up tlm blood without purging and
weakening. They give strength and do not
take it away. An excellent example of the
Ionic a**thdi of this remedy is the case of
_M,v, bmt R. Searles or Hanover street,
Mar.Mmh, Mich.
“I was taken sick a few years ago,” she
v. “ n; whole system being run down
ai d debilitated. 1 had no strength nor am
bition, \<"l fearfully in flesh and my com
plexion was weak and digestion poor. I
had a coimtant craving for food, although
tn. stomach pained me all of the time. There
was also a great deal of pain in my back,
li ins and sides and I had hard headaches.
My blood was thin and impoverished and I
was rapidly going into a decline. I could
nut work and life didn’t seem worth living.
“i tried doctors and several medicines for
ever a year with but little benefit. My sis
ter, who was visiting me, urged me to try
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. 1 bought some
at once and after taking a few boxes was
restored to health, gained about 30 pounds
in weight and have been the picture of
health ever since.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on re
ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes
§2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Com
pany. Schenectady, X. 1.
SAWDUST FOR PRACTICAL USE.
Sawdust is one of the puzzling wastes
in lumbering operations. The waste is
«priniiR too. for the kerf—the part cut
out by the saw in the mill and trans
formed into sawdust always beais a
rather high ratio to the boards obtain
ed. In cutting tbin stuff, one-fourth of
the log. or even more, may be kerf.
Efforts to turn sawdust into pulp for
the paper mill have usually been un
successful on account of mechanical
difficulties in handling. In several Eu
ropean countries, however, a new way
has been found of turning sawdust to
account. The sawdust, chiefly pine and
lir, is ground with millstones, exactly
as’old-time mills made corn meal, or
wheat or rye flour. Expensive ma
chinery is not required, but it is neces
sary to take special precaution against
Sires which might start from sparks be
tween the millstones.
The sawdust flour is sold to the dyna
mite factories to be mixed with nitro
glycerine and forms the body or ab
sorbent for that high explosive. It is
also in demand for the manufacture of
cheap blotting papers. The mills in the
Ilarz mountains in Germany, an im
portant manufacturing center, are kept
busy meeting this demand.
The price of the “flour” in Germany
ranges from $7.50 to $12.50 a ton. It is
shipped in bags, like meal, or in bales
of about 40 cubic feet, made by means
of high pressure.
It Can’t Be Beat.
The best of all teachers is experience.
C. M. Harding of Silver City, North Caro
lina. says: “I'find Electric Bitters does all
that’s claimed for it. For Stomach, Liver,
and Kidney troubles it can t be beat. I
have tried it and find it a most excellent
medicine.” Mr. Harden is right; it s the
best of all medicines also for weakness,
lame back, and all run down conditions.
Best too for chills and malaria, bold under
guarantee at R. H. Moody’s drug store.

A UKVKI.ATION'.
It is a revelation to people, the .severe
cases of lung trouble that have been cured
by Foley’s Honey and Tar. It not only
stops the cough hut heals am! strengthens
the lungs. L. M. Buggies, Reasnor, Iowa, j
writes: “The doctors saiO J had consump
tion, and I got no better until 1 took Foley’s
Honey and Tar. It stopped the hemor
rhages and pain in my lungs and they are
now as sound as a bullet."—K. H. Moody.
A FARM WHOSE CROP IS TIMBER,
Washington, D. C., July 27. In
every State of the Union there are
many tracts of so-called agricultural
land, which, owing to their hilly char
acter, poor soil, or numerous boulders,
are not suitable for farming. The own
ers of such tracts are often at a loss to
know what to do with them. Without
question, the best use to which land of
this kind can be put is to plant it with
trees. One of the fundamental prin
ciples of forest economics is, tiiat soil
which is not good enough to make the j
growing of cereal crops profitable should
he devoted to the production of wood 1
crops. This does not mean that trees |
grow better on poor soil than on fertile !
soil. They will, of course, grow better '
I on fertile soil. But, in proportion to I
the money invested, better returns are j
secured from trees planted on the less
valuable land.
Most of the cone-bearing trees, and
many hardwoods as well, will thrive in
soil of medium fertility. All trees,
MO\»cVcl, uu nut in 11 v c uu ijuui. oiuiuj
ridges, or on hillsides where the soil is
thin, llinek walnut, hardy catalpa, and
white oak, for their best development,
require a deep, fertile soil, well watered
and well drained, and it is not advisable
to plant them where these requirements
are not met.
An Ohio farmer is solving the prob
lem of what to do with the worn-out
farm, lie owns an old homestead of
sixty acres, which he is desirous of
keeping in the family. He does not
live on the place, however, and farming
lias been a losing proposition. He lias,
therefore, decided to plant the entire
tract with trees. He lias already plant
ed 35,000 Norway spruce, set three and
one-half feet apart each way, on an area
of about gleven acres. These trees will
be cut, as they become large enough,
for Christmas trees. Chestnut seedlings
will be planted in the spaces left by the
removal of the spruce, and it is expect
ed that they will begin to come in bear
ing when the last spruce is out. In
addition to the spruce, hardy catalpa,
black locust, elm, boxelder, and syca
more have been planted. It is planned
to put the entire sixty acres in forest
within live or six years. The owner is
wise in planting several kinds of trees
instead of confining himself to one
species. Ills forest will be producing
six or seven kinds of lumber, chestnuts
and Christmas trees, at the same time.

He Knew They’d Fit.
The Southern colonel had a colored
valet hv the name of George. George
received nearly all of the colonel’s cast
off clothing. He had his eyes on a cer
tain pair of light trousers which were
not wearing out fast enough to suit him.
so he thought he would hasten matters
somewhat by rubbing grease on one
knee. When the colonel saw the spot,
he called George and asked if lie had
noticed it. George said, “Yes, sah, Colo
nel, I noticed dat spot and tried mighty
hard to get it out, but I couldn’t.’’
“Have you tried gasoline?” the colo
nel asked.
“Yes, sah, Colonel, but it didn t do
! no good.”
I “Have you tried brown paper and a
t hot iron?”
“Yes, sah, Colonel, I’se done tried
’mos’ everytliiiig I know of, but dat spot
wouldn’t come out.”
“Well, George, have you tried am
monia?” the colonel asked as a last re
sort.
“No, sah, Colonel, I ain’t tried em
on yet, but I knows (ley’ll fit.”.—Every
body’s Magazine.
A Wonderful Mother.
Bringing up nine children on an in
come of $4 a week is the task of a
couple named Copp, whose home is in
the Devonshire village of Higher IIux
ham, six miles from Exeter, England.
The couple have had nineteen children
in all, six of whom are dead. Of the
thirteen surviving, the eldest son, aged
19, is a sailor in the Royal Navy, and
three daughters are out at service.
Five of the children attend school at
Poltimore, two miles away.
The couple were married twenty-four
years ago, and the husband, who is now
44, is employed as a roadman by the
Rural District Council.
Asked how she contrived to bring up
such a large family on the 16 shillings
a week which her husband earned, Mrs.
Copp remarked that it would be a very
difficult thing even for her to explain.
All she could say was that it had been
a very hard struggle. They had to pay
$35 a’year for their cottage and garden.
They helped matters out a bit by grow
ing their own vegetables and keeping
pigs, and she “economized as much as
possible by making and mending the
the children’s garments.”

“It is astonishing,” remarked a well
known authority on diseases of the skin,
“how such a large number of people, espec
ially ladies, are by attractively written ad
vertisements, induced to purchase some one
of the many so called Beauty Creams now
on the market, not knowing of course that
they mostly contain oily or greasy sub
stances that clog the pores of the skin and
are for that reason the very worst thing
that they could possibly use. My treatment
of Pimples, Blackheads, Blotches and all
eruptions of the skin, are as follows and
has invariably proved very successful.
Wash the face carefully every night before
retiring with warm water and a little oat
meal tied up in a small cloth bag, then after
di ving well, use the following inexpensive
and perfectly harmless prescription which
can be filled at any drug store. Uearoia $
oz. Ether 1 oz. Aloes 7 ozs. Lse this mix
ture on the face as often as possible during
the day, but use night and morning any way,
allowing it to remain on the face at least ten
minutes, then the powdery film may be wip
ed off. Do not wash the face for some little
time after using. By following this simple
treatment, you will soon have a clear and
Brilliant Complexion.”_
