GRADUAL DECLINE.
This is the fate of sufferers from Kidney trouble, as the disease is so insiduous that often people nave serious Kidney trouble without Icnowing the real cause of their illness, M diseased kidneys allow the impurities to stay in the system and attack the other organs. This accounts for the many different symptoms of Kidney Disease.
You begin to feel better at once when taking FOLEY'S KIDNE.Y CURE as it ttimulates the heart, increases the circulation and invigorates the whole system. It strength¬ ens the urinary organs and gives you new life and vigor. ^.^^ gj^e, ^ ^ents and si.oo.

10. "And Ruth said." After Orpah h,id returne<l Naoini oKnin init tho test upon Ruth. Xaonii would have her know and realize fully the importance of her decision, ftnd urge upoa her to decide it for God. This also would help her lo contrast the difference lietween a heathen woman and an Israelite, The ijucstinn would then he settled Illlon the side of religion. It was homelana with its comfort* and fiimiliari- tics and idols, or it was a strani^e land, aniong strangers, in the Service of Israel's (iod. It was ft se|iaratii,n from all her for¬ mer life tn go with Naomi, "intreat me not to leave thee." Here came the answer from the heart. ..\t this great crisM in her life Knth kept close compnny*ivith one who serveil the tiod whom she now chose. She plead for the personal help and fellow¬ ship of Naomi. She desired that she would not refer to her idols, relatives and home, while she was in such a trying position. At once she decided on her associates,^n5 broke awav from every opposing influence, "Whither thou gocst I will go." Thns Huth ends the debate. Nothing; could he more decisive or brave than this; ehe seems to have had another spirit and another speech, now her sister was gone, and it is nn in¬ stance of the grace of (lod inclining the soul to the resolute choice of the better Iiart. Though to a couniry nnknown to tier nnd one of which she luul been trained In have a low o|iininn she would travel there with Naomi. "Where thou lodgest, 1 will lodge." Ity her Iirm resolutions ^shc declared her purpose tn he one with N'no- mi's people. Though N.iniiii was under af¬ fliction, Allll returning tn her nwn country in humilitv, Ruth was tirin in her purpose tn share in her lot. "Thy is-oplc shnll be my people." Thus she would renounce all her connections and pri,s[,e(.t8 in the land of Moab, and live according to all Ihc rules of Naomi's ]ieople in Canaan, ".\nd thv Cod mv <iod." I will adore the (iod of Isr.iel, the only living and true (ind, trust in ILm alone, serve llnn, and in every¬ thing iK^ruhd bv llim.
17. "Will I llie." liuth made Ihis her lifetime choice. "There will 1 be buried." N'ot desiring to have so much as her dead body carried l«(k to thc couniry of Moab, in token of auv remaining kindness for it. She w.iulil, bv this ohoice, desire to forget all relaii,in»liip with her own peni.le nr their religion. She was ready to make the change with all it meant, "The Lord do her sincerity in th'
Washington, D. C. — President Roos*- i vclt'e message, w hab was read before the Senale and Honse of Representatives, is, in jisrl, as follows:
¦fo the .'senate and House of Representa¬ tives; We Btlll continue in a jieriod of unbound¬ ed prosperity. This prosperity is not the creature of law, but undoubtedly thc laws under which we work have been inslru- mental in creating the conditions which made it possible, and by unwise legiulatioq il would be easy enough lu deslroy it. There w-ill undoubted,y be periods nf de¬ pression. The wave will recede, but thc tide will advance. This nation is scaled on a continent flanked by two great oceans. Il is composed of men the descendants of pioneers, or, in a sense, pioneers them¬ selves; of men w-innowed out from among thc nations of the Old World by the en¬ ergy, boldness and love of adventure found in their own eager hearls. Such a nation, so placed, will surely w-rest success fruni forlune.
But our people, the sons of the men of the Civil War, the sons nf the men who had iron in their blood, rejoice in tho pres¬ ent and face the future high of heart and resolute of will. Ours is not the creed nf the weakling and the yoward; ours is the gospel of hope and of Inumphant endeavor. We do not shrink from tne sU^gglo be¬ fore us. There are many problems for ns lo face al the outset of the twentieth cen¬ tury — grave problems abroad and still graver at home, but we know that we ran solve them and solve Ihcm well provided only that we bring to thc solution the ipialilles of head and heart which were shown by the' men who, in the days of W'ashinglon, founded this (iovernnient, and, in the davs of Lincoln, presorved it.
President Koosevelt then cnlls allention to thc groat fortunes of the couniry, which, he says, have been won not by doing evjl, but as an incident to aclion whii-li has benefited the cninmunily as a whole In dwelling upon the evils whioh have .iiisen in the course of our industrial development he says that the evds are roal and some of them are menacing, but Ihey arc the outgrowth not of misery or deca¬ dence but of our prosperilv. 'lhis Indus, trial dcvcloi^nient must mil he ohcckoil, but side by side with it should go such progressive regulation as will dini'iiisb tbe evils.

18. "Then she left »i)eaking." There eonld be no room to doubt her sincerity and true motive. Her vow was convincing. Since Ruth's inirpnses roafhed hoyntid a mere impulse and family alTeolinn, Naomi was safe in allowing her lo faoe all the con- Bi.iiuenccs w-lth her.

The journey could be made with joy, evon though they keeiilv fclt their lots and bereavement in their wi.lowhond. "The oily w,is moved." It appears that. Naomi was not onlv w-ell known but highly respected nlso at' lli.tli- lehein: a proof that Klimeleoh was of high consideration in tlinl place, "Is this Nm¬ mi?" Her frien.ls had romembere.l her as Ihov last »aw hor. What tlicir sorrow ivas »t having In go into a hi'nthon counlrv ive do nnt reail, hut they eagerly mel her.

est degree by a change in the tariff, save as suoh change interfered with the general prosperitv of the couniry. The only rela¬ tion of the tariff to big corporations as a who,e IS that the taiiff ju.ikes iiSlmntnc tures profitable, and the tariff rcmsa\- proposed wnuld be in effecl simiilv tb make manufactures unproHlable. To »• move the tariff as a punitive mensure di¬ rected agniiuit Irusts would inevitably re¬ sult in ruin lo the weaker comiietitora who are struggling againsl them, tlur aim should lie not by unw-i.^c tariff changes to give foreign producu the advanlage over domestic products, but by projier regu¬ lation to give domestic competition a fair chance, and this end can not be reached by any tariff changes whioh ivould nlfect unfavorably all domestic competilors good and bad alike. The question of regulalion of the trusts stands apart from the iiues¬ lion of lariff revision.
I'lesident Roosevelt then stales that one way in which the readjiistmonl sought i-an lie reached is by reciprooitv treatii's. He believes that such treaties ian be used to widen our markets nnd also lo secure in practical shape the lowering of duties when they are no longer needed for proliciion amung our own people, nr when the mini¬ mum ol damage done mny be disregnriled for the sake ot tae mammuin of good ac- comjilishod.
Wherever the tariff conditions are suoh that a needed change caa not with advan- tag.' be mado by Ihe apphoalion of the re¬ ciprocity idoa, then it oan be made outright by a lowering of duties on a givon |irodiict. If possible surh oMnge should be made oaly after the fullest oonsidoration by prartlral experts, who should apnronrh the subject hom a business standpoint, having in view- both the particular inter¬ ests affcoted and the conimercial well- being of the people as a whnle. Thc ma¬ chinery for (iroviding such careful investi¬ gation can readily be supplied. The execu¬ tive doparlment bna already nl ita disposal methods of collecting facts and hgures, and li the (^ongress desires additional con- sidrralion to that which will be given the subject by 'Is own cnminillees, then a commission of business exporls can be ap¬ pointed, whose duly it should be to recom¬ mend action by thc Cnngress after a delih- erate and scientific examinatinn of the va- rinus schedules ns they are nffeoled by the changed and changing conditions. The unhurried and unliia.<cd report of this commission would show whnt oliangos should Ih' ma.le in the various solicduh's, and how,far these changes could go with¬ out also changing tbe great prosperity which this country is now enjoying, or up¬ eetting its fixed economic poluv.

Aa busi ness men work through oorpnralions so it is often neoessnry for lalinring men lo wnrk in fedcralinns. and these have be¬ rome important factors nf modern indus¬ trial life. Opposition to eaoh kind nf nr- gani/alion should lake the form of nppo. sition lo whatever ia bad in the conduct nf uny given cor|iorfttion or union, but each must rofrain Irom arbitrary or tyrannous interference with the rights of oihers.

On .Tilly 4 last, on the IMih anniversftrj of the declaration of onr independenoo lioaoo nnd amnestv were promulgated in th.- Philippine Islands. .Some trouble has since from lime to time threalened with the Mohanimodan Moros, but ivilli the lale insurrectionary I-flipinos the war has entirely ceased. Civil govornmcnt has nnw been introdilocd. Nol onlv does each Filipino enjov such rights lo lije, liborlv and thc pursuit of hapiiiness as he bas nover befnre known during thc rocordcl history of the islands, bul the people laken as a whole nnw enjny a measure of self- government pronlcr than that granted lo any other Orientals by any foreign power, nn.l greater than that enjoyed by any olher Orientals undor thoir own govcrii- monls. save the .Ianii"».so alone.
The Presidont maintains thtt no policy ever entered into by tlw ..\niorioan people has so vindicaled ilself. The triumph of our arms, laws and principles has oome sooner than wo had any right to expect.

The .'Vrmy has been reduced to the min¬ imum alloived by law. It is very sniall fnr Ihe sire of the nation, and most certainly should be kepi at the highest point of etli- oiency. .\ system of inaiieuvering our Army in bodies of some little size has been begun nnd should be steadily oonlinued.
