have been lmiKisslble. The Influence
of home affairs has been a stumbling
block to many a man; not because of
wifely Impropriety, but because of a
timidity on her part, a shrinking from
public observation, a tremulou disin
clination to be In the front rnnk. Un
der such restraint the husband ha
been kept from the station which hi
merit deserved. Reeause he has a
wife who seconded hi efforts, who
appreciated his gifts and the touch of
whose hand meant push and not pull,
Mr. Fairbanks hns long been a much
envied mnn.
Cornelia Cole was the daughter of
Judge Philander Cole of Ohio, and
when young Fairbanks wa a student
at the Wesleynn Pntverslty she was
a co-editor with him of the college
paper. A mutual appreciation led to
a marriage, which hns been moat
happy. Step by step the young lawyer
went upward; year after year the wife
grew in womanly sweetness. The five
children four boys and a girl who
blessed the home In Indianapolis re
ceived their full share of maternal
affection and attention. Rut the am
bition of the wife, the yearning for
mental growth and the desire for lead
ership were not drowned In the cares j
of motherhood. She took part In club
life. She watched politics. She studied
parliamentary law, ami when she
finally came to the presidency of .1110
of the foremost societies of women In
the world the 1 laughters of the
American Revolution so splendid wai
her equipment that she was at once
hailed as a queen among women. For
several years she was at the head of
this organisation.
While Mr. Fairbanks will acknowl
edge the helpful Influence of his wife
upon his political fortunes, Mrs. Fair
banks will cheerfully accord to him
the credit of training her in parlia
mentary science.

ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on tho part of physicians, pharma-
ccutical societies and medical authorities. It i3 used by physicians with
results most gratifying. Tho extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of thrco faots: rint Tho indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Uoond That it not only allays stomach pains and quiet3 the nerves, but assimi
lates tho food: Third It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
over, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through 'greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to

THE LESSON OF 1812,
Need of Fleet l'owerful Enough
to
Prevent Coast Blockades.
In reading a criticism in to-day's
Times of "Historian Hoosevelt's" re
uiarks concerning the soldiers of 1812
it struck me that you might well have
taken exception also to his comments
on the naval situation in that war.
khj-8 a writer in the New York Times,
ills protest against our unfortunate
custom of teaching Inaccurate his
tory und his plea to have us both ac
knowledge past humiliations and draw
profitable lessons from them is most
commendable. In the same speech.
however, the I'resident is reported to
have said that "we won on ue sea"
in 1S12 because of our previous prepa
ration for naval war.
Is not that an example of exactly
what we are warned against? It is
true that In duels between light-armed
ships viz., frigates our navy cover
ed itself with glory, but these com
bats had little effect beyond showing
that our navy had no superior where
forces were equal. The really decisive
feature of the naval war was that
Kngland, by reason of the lack of
fighting units 1. e., "ships of the
line" In our navy, was able to block
ade our coast, to "bottle up" practical
ly all the ships of our small navy, to
bring our commerce to 11 standstill and
to direct ns she pleased raids along
our seacoast, such as that on Wash
ington. The only naval victories that had
decisive results were those on Lakes
Krio and Champialn, where the fleets
on each side were improvised. On the
sea, where the real naval strength was
tested, we were overwhelmed no less
than on the land, though the afore
said preparations did prevent the dis
graceful features of the land warfare,
which were due mainly to our lack ot
regular troops. The truly important
lesson to be drawn from the naval
war Is the necessity of a powerful fleet
of fighting ships, which can prevent
me command of our seacoast Dy an
enemy.
The speech of the President Is In re
freMhlng contrast to the spread-eagle
oratory habitual to our Congressmen
but he does not avoid the pitfalls
against which he wnrns us and fail
to draw from the war of iS12 what l
perhaps its most salutary lesson.

The disease that has done more
than any other to wreck, ruin and LH ClVl f
humiliate life, is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go
hand in hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated and fought
it as he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; no mat
ter how pure the blood may t;, when its virus enters, the entire circulation
becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usu
ally the first sign la a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance,
but the blood is being saturated with the deadly poison, and soon the nioutU
and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption
breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make theif
appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks
the nerves.,. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from
parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny
constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has
been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from using the toilet articles of
one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the
first begins to expel the poison and build up and strengthen the system.
