We derire from the blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the | doctor* have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and generally all the abilities we possets depend on that source of life. It is therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has given us a thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reaaon by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sicn that the blood is not in its normal state, out ia filled with noxious substances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove them then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown, and the human body would become stronger and healthier. Attention therefore should be paid to thoM warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Koenis's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

It was the celebration of the club's fortieth annl versary. Mr. Roosevelt devoted a considerable portion of bis speech to the praise of the late President McKlnley, dwelling on the wisdom of his policy throughout the war with Spain, and in the subsequent events which required surpassing statesmanship. He said. In part: # "President McKinley faced the problems of the Spanish War and those that followed It exactly as he had faced the problems of our economic and financial needs. As a sequel to the war with Spain we found ourselves In possession of the Philippines under circumstances which rendered It necessary to subdue a formidable insurrection which made It impossible for us with honor or with regard to the welfare of the Islands to withdraw therefrom. "The occasion was selxed by the opponents of the President for trying to raise a new Issue on which they hoped they might be more successful than on the old. The clamor raised against him was joined in. not only by many honest men who were led K?* a ml?UlpAfi rlotxr Af ImnPP. tioiia/ uj a uiioiuavu ? ??* w* feet knowledge of the facts, hut by nil who feared effect, who shrank from the rough work of endeavor.

The prophets of disaster have Feen their predictions so completely falsified by the event that it is even difficult to arouse even a passing interest in their failure. "They played their brief part of obstruction and clamor: they said their say, and the current of our life went over them and they sank under It as did their predecessors who. thirty-six years before, had declared that another and greater war was a failure, that another and greater struggle for true liberty was only a contest for subjugation in which the United States could never succeed. "The Insurrection among the Fill- | plnos has been absolutely quelled. The war hns been brought to an end sooner than even the most sanzulne of us dared to hope. The world has not In recent years seeu any military task done with more soldierly energy and ability, and done, moreover In a spirit of great humanity.

I President Roosevelt delivered three speeches in Philadelphia, took luncheon with his former Postmaster-General, Charles Emory Smith, and shook !

Cndir Direction of Agrlcalloral D?p?rt> moat They Dine oa Hal ycllle Add. Formaldehyde and Benzoic Acid. Washington, D.C.?Scientific and official Washington is greatly Interested In the food experiments that hare been begun here nnder the auspices of the Agricultural Department. Twelve young men, who arc In the Government employ, have discontinued the regular method of eating and drinking, and are now fed by Uncle Sam scientifically. They live in a , Government hoarding house and eat only the things that Professor Wiley places before them. Congress was prevailed upon to start this official Inquiry for the purpose of proving or disproving the assertions of foreign experts and officials of continental Europe who have made war on American food products on the ground that they arc dangerous because of being chemically treated. Germany has been making objections to the preservatives used In American meats. "The experiments." said Professor Wiley, "will be conducted by the Government to demonstrate what effects borax, salyclllc acid, formaldehyde, benzoic add, benzoate of soda, sulphurous add and other chemicals used for preserving food stuffs have on the health of the consumers of such foods. "We have built In the basement of the Department of Chemistry an up to-date kltohcn. which will be presided over by a first-class cook appointed under the Civil Service. The best food obtainable will be given to the boy*. The fare will not be lavish, but will be above that of the average boarding house, and will Include all the vegetables and meats of the season. The yoang men who will submit to the experiment have taken oaths to abstain from all food not prepared by us. and I have confidence In them. Of course It would not do for me to give their names." Six of the young men will be fed on absolutely pure foods. Six others will bo fed on food that has been treated with preservatives as it is for commercial purposes. This arrangement will continue two weeks, when the young men will be changed about. Every ? -m .? mi -..iff care win ne tatceu 01 tueni. xuey win i watched and every symptom will bo | noted. Tlie young men have been told of the serious nature of the experiment and tbe deprivations they will hnvc to endure, but as all are students In science tlicy enter upon the year's work with enthusiasm. They will not even be permitted to drink water while at work. Every morsel of solid or liquid food which passes their lips from the time they begin the test must be eaten in the Government eating house. Before each meal for a year each of these young men will be weighed and his physical condition noted. Each minute action of their Jlfe during this time will be under the direct supervision of Professor Wiley. Professor Wiley Is of tbe opinion that l>orax Is not any more Injurious than common table salt, but he admits that he only believes It: he does not know It to be .1 scientific fact, and he is open to conviction.
