Not only is the blood the greal

removing the waste of oxodized tis
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys
When, however, the kidneys becotm
weak and unable to perform theii
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys thr

Into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like

their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell

INSECTS SPREAD TYPHOID FEVER
Mosquitoes and Not Poor Water and
Bad Milk the Most Potent
Spreader of Disease.
Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 17.—-If satis
factory results are obtained from an
investigation now being made by the
Kansas City, Kan., health commission,
the health authorities will change
their methods of fighting the annual
typhoid fever epidemic next summer.
From tests made, and the deductions
drat 1, Dr. Farqubard Campbell,
health commissioner, and Dr. F. W.
Shaw, an array surgeon, who Is assist
ing him, believe that the mosquito,
who has always been blamed with
carrying around malaria epidemics in
hie stinger, is the most potent spread
er of typhoid germs. They believe
that the city water and milk are not
nearly the sources of typhoid that
they have been credited with, and
from the statistics and arguments giv
en by them it appears that these two
commodities of everyday life have
been much maligned. i

THE GOVERNOR UPHOLDS COL.
ROOSEVELT'S DENUNCIA
TION OF COURTS.
FOR EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW
The Federation of Labor Told That En
vironment Influenced Decisions—We
Have Just and Unjust Judges—
Greatest Enthusiasm Aroused.
St. Louis, Nov. IV.—Theodore Roose
velt's denunciation of the courts was
upheld by Gov. Hadley of Missouri In
the most sensational talk that ever oc
curred before an American Federation
of Labor convention. He said that
Roosevelt was right. "I believe and
every honest man believes'1 Baid he,
"that there should be Just criticism
of any public official whether a judge
or any other official.'1
This sentiment aroused the greatest
enthusiasm in the convention. Every
body applauded ‘‘Roosevelt was right
when he denounced the courts, be
cause they are governed by their en
vironment," said Gov. Hadley. The
governor’s speech seemed to catch
every member of the federation be
cause they kept applauding him at
every denunciation of the courts. ‘‘The
great trouble with the judges is that
they live within their own environ
ment and their decisions are made ac
cordingly'1 said Gov. Hadley. ‘‘It might
be a narrow environment; It might be
a large environment and us lawyers
know why they make a decision.
“I belive in an employers liability
law that does not take Into considera
tion the fellow servant or the assump
lion oi risa. 1 am preparieu u»
point a commission of labor, lawyers
and citizens to draw up a coinpenea
tlon act and I will do all I can to have
the legislature pass it. That will
mean not a proposition involving de
lay but something which will hasten
relief for those who suffer injury. 1
do not see why the Judiciary should
not have the correctness of this rea
rming subject to criticism. Th\
should be done for the protection of
Jii t judges as again t unjust judges
whose decisions are not based upon
good reasoning or g od faith with
public morals. YVe lave been too
tender, too solicitous in our criticism
of the Judiciary, but the judges should
not be criticized while a case is under
advisement.
"Legislature and court made law
both are only the expression of the
people of the time and a decision
w-hlch may be just at one time may be
quite impossible at a later date."
Then Gov. Hadley referred to his
fight, with the Standard Oil company.
"When I attacked the. Standard Oil
company four years ago it was pro
tected by a rule of law that it could
not be required to produce books and
papers that might result in the con
viction and fining of the company and
that a corporation had the same rights
as an individual.”

Oklahoma City, Nov. 17.—Governor
Haskell will not return to Guthrie as

in an emphatic statement Just read.
“The light has Just begun,’’ he said,
in speaking of the capital matter, "and
it will continue until the people’s voice

THE WISHED
PRESIDENT TAFT IS INFORMED OF
PROGRESS OF PANAMA
WORK.
CANAL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE TIMl
Will Be Built Within Original Estimat*
of $75,030,000— Will Be Opened fo>
Business in January, 1914—The Con
trol of Canal a Disputed Question.
Panama, Nov. 17.—President Taft
was informed that there is a great
probability of the canal being finished
by December 1913 one year ahead o!
the scheduled time. It all depends on
the contractors for the lock gates,
which were promised for June 1911. In
the event that no hitch comes, the
first of January 1911 will find ships
steaming through the locks, although
the formal opening will not be until
January 1, 1915.
In this connection Goethels answer
ing rumors that Taft's visit proposed
the planning of an extra $100,000,004
for the canal, declared it would be
finished by January 1, 1915 at the
original estimate of $75,000,000 and
not a penny more.
It is known that Goethals wants a
full year after the work is finished to
try out the works before declaring tc
the world that it is formally com
pleted.
That there is a growing need for a
strong stand at Washington as to
whether the canal shall be left to
civilian or military control and man
agement is problem in which is
embraced, not only the question of
fortification but virtually the success
of the whole project. The demand is
growing on the part of the canal com
mission that a naval official or some
other man be made administrator
with absolute responsibility. Report
ing to the president and that the gov
ernment assume charge of coal depots
and all supplies to prevent monopoly
and to regulate prices and attract the
commerce of the world.
Tne plan looks to the establishment
of great dry docks, the maintenance
of the present machine shops big sup
ply depots, so that not only the united
States navy bat the commerce of the
world can dock, repair, coal victual,
etc.., at the government plant.
Important officials say this is the
only means of making the canal pay
ing and successful. If tolls are high
and supplies are cornered ships will
surely go elsewhere. The president
is considering this and will discuss it

PRESIDENT TAFT SAYS NO AN
NEXATION BY THE UNITED
STATES.
INDEPENDENCE OF PANAMA SAFE
Given a Banquet at Colon Tell*
Guest* His Ideas—"Choose Youf
Own Officials and Maintain a Re
sponsible Government."
Colon, Nov. 18—The United States
will not annex Panama but will guar
antee the independence of the CentiaJ
American republic through which runs
the great inter-ocean canal.
President Taft made that clear dur
ing his speech here at the banquet
given in his honor by President Arose
rnena at the Hotel Central in Panama
City. This formal and official defini
tion of the attitude of the United
States toward the Central American
states falling from the lips of Presi
dent Taft with such positive repudia
tion of the annexation talk was re
ceived with enthusiasm.
President Taft said in effect:
“Go ahead and select your own offi
cials according to your law and so
long as you maintain responsible gov
ernment the United States will not in
terfer."
Significance was attached to the
view of the president and some won
dered if this was a formal outline of
our attitude toward Nicaragua The
president’s words were received with
tumultous applause.
There was some little recentment
among the politicians over the frank
ness of the statement of our responsi
bility. It was pointed out that this :
remilreri States to closely I
observe the course of conduct of the
government officially after being care
fully selected and to establish a prac
tical protectorate over Panama. Our
officials are positive that it will go
no further, that this statement is suffi
cient for American purpose.
Practically everybody in official life
here attended.
President Arosemena was attended
by his cabinet and the brilliant as
semblage included congressmen,
judges and diplomats. Music was fur
nished by the National band. Presi
dent Taft left Culebra at 6:30 o’clock
for the American legation. Almost
Immediately President Arosemena
called and later his visit was returned
by President Taft. Big crowds filled
the streets and cheered with a great
display of friendliness for the visiting
Americans. As a special honor Presi
dent Arosemena is tendering a break
fast on Thursday morning to the visit
ing American Journalists with Presi
dent Taft.
President Taft is greatly concerned
about the canal and regards its con
struction as the greatest thing facing
the Nation to-day. The engineering
problems are ended and now comes
the question of devising methods of
maintenance.
First, the fortification and the mat
ter of the Guantanamo base. Then
must be settled the question of tolls
which is considered a very pressing
problem. Possibly there will be some
interesting rate cutting with Suez,
which is making money on the $1.60
ton basis. Canal officials here believe
that $1.00 would be sufficient charge
for our canal and that it can be profit
ably operated at even less If the Suez
rate is cut.
It Is evident that a big battle is
ahead for the control of the commerce
of the world. Tins is given as the rea
son why our government should exer
cise control of all supplies, docks and
warves and why it is essential that
congress should fix the maximum and
minimum tolls, or leave It to the
president, speedy settlement of these '
questions is considered Imperative as
it is almost certain that ships will bo
passing through by 1913.

Many a mother has learned of a wax
of avoiding sickness in her family, es
pecially among the children, by the
use of a free sample bottle of the fa
mous laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctor’s to
send a free sample bottle has been re- '■
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
This Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is a
truly wonderful laxative and especially
adapted to the needs of babies and
children because It Is pleasant to taste
and no child will refuse It. Then, it Is
mild and never gripes. It Is all that
a child's remedy should be, though It is
a good laxative for the whole family
because it Is effective at all ages. It
Is simply not dynamic like salts, pills
and powerful cathartics, which should
not be given to children anyway.
Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you don't know exactly
what Is the matter with It. It needs a
laxative—Its bowles are constipated.
Syrup Pepsin will correct the trouble,
tone up the child and soon It will be
well again—over night wonderful re
sults have been secured with Syrup
Pepsin.
You can buy It of any druggist at
fifty cents or a dollar a bottle, the lat
ter being the family slxe, but you are j

doctor's expense. Send him your ad- '
dress today and he will send you a free
sample bottle direct to your home.
Then when satisfied buy it of your fav
orite druggist.
Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obll
fration. He has specialized In stomach,
lver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free
of charge. All are welcome to write
him. Whether for the medical advice
