_ \
SENATOR DIXON ISSUES DOCU
MENT FIXING CONVENTION.
10 ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO
Nominees for President and Vice
President Will Se Placed Before
the People August 5th.
New York.—A call to the people ot
the United States who are in sym
pathy with the "national progressive
movement" to send delegates to a na
tional convention to open in Chicago
August 5 was given out Sunday oy
United States Senator Diion of Mon
tana, the colonel's manager. The call
is signed by members of the commit
tee chosen at a meeting held in Chi
cago, and also bore signatures cl
i Roosevelt followers in forty states.
“The territories have no place in
a national convention and will not be
considered,’ declared Senator Cixcn
in commenting upon the signatures.
"As for the missing eight states,
the most of them probably will send
I delegates, although they have not tak
I en part in the call. Maine, for in
stance, postponed any definite action
because there is now a strong fight
i on in the primaries, with the sym
pathy running in favor of the pro
gressive movement. Delaware, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada prob
; ably will take part in the convention,
j Mississippi and South Carolina may
; possibly be unrepresented.
“The call lays no rules as to the
methods of choosing delegates, since
each state will be expected to select
1 its delegates by its own parapher
1 nalia. The representation will be cut
down to just one-half of the previous
i convention. This was deemed advis
; able since this convention is to be
i notably a deliberative body and will
I certainly be composed of a class of
: men altogether different from those
wno usually attend conventions.
“In all probability the convention
will adopt the name 'national pro
gressives' for the new party, but I
cannot say definitely what will be
done. Thus far no issues have been
■ authoritatively stated and of course
I the platform itself will have to be de
\ cided upon by the delegates."
The text of the call is: “To the peo
ple of the United States ■’ iihout re
gard to past differences, who. through
repeated betrayals realize that tcday
, the power of the crooked political
bosses and of the privileged classes
behind them Is so strong in the two
old party organizations that no help
ful movement in the real interest of
our country can come out of either.
“Who believe that the time has
come for a national progressive move
ment—a nation wide movement—on
non-sectional lines, so that the peo
ple may be served in sincerity and
truth by an organization, unfettered
by obligation to conflicting interests.
“Who believe in the right and ca
pacity of the people to rule them
selves and effectively to control all
the agencies of their government, and
who hold that only through social and
Industrial justice, thus secured, can
honest property find permanent pro
. tection.
“To all in accord with views here
set forth a call is hereby issued by
the provisional committee under the
resolution of the mass meeting held
in Chicago on June 22 last to each
state to send a number of delegates to
the convention at Chicago on the fifth
day of August, 1912, for the purpose
of nominating candidates to be sup
ported for the positions of president
and vice president of the United
States.”

MORE HOSPITALS ARE REEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis.
Only four states, Mississippi. Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
I ago when the National Association for
; the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
| losis was organized, there w ere 26
i states in which no hospital or sanito
| rium provision for consumptives exist
; ed, and the entire number of beds in
I the United States was only 10,000.
“While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu
; losis activity,” says Dr. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
| National ascociation, in commenting
on the subject, “there are still prac
tically ten indigent consumptives for
: every one of the 30,000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 250.000 to 300,000 con
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
1 If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
of infection must be provided."
SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK
Kingsley. Mich.—“Last May my
thirteen-momhs-old baby had a 6ore
come on her cheek. It started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours' time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim
ples and wherever that touched it caus
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
“Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after 1 washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint^
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. It
: was only a few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We
j thought that baby's face would surely
be scarred, but it is not.” (Signed)
Mrs. W. J. Cleland, Jani 5, 1912.

Blessed Sympathy.
Sympathy with animals blesses and
i humanizes men and women. To get
into real relations with an animal is a
liberal education. It is something to
be really interested even in a plant
and to observe the working of life to
‘ any sphere not our own. How much
more when that life is directing a
personality which consciously looks
up to us and will love us if we will
j let it!—Christian Register.

“How did monsieur ever catch such a
wonderful pictureT’
“O." replied the artist, with a far

Where He Drew the Line.
An English earl, lately deceased,
who had no family, was notorious for
his hatred of children, and on one
occasion he engaged as lodge keeper
an army pensioner named McMicken.
Some few months later McMicken's
wife presented him with a sou and
heir. On learning of the occurrence
his lordship rode down to the lodge in
a terrible rage.
"I hear,” said he to Mr. McMicken,
"that your wife has a son.”
"Yes. my lord," said the man proud
ly.
“Well, now, look here, McMicken;
when 1 put you here, it was to open
and shut a gate, but by the Lord Har
ry, not to propagate.”
