r-5iijR. ?!: m it i t INAVGVRAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT : Short Speech Delivered by Chief Executive After Taking the Oath of Office Our Duties as a -. Nation to the Yi'orld and to Ourselves. After taking the oath of office dur ing the Inauguration ceremonies at (Washington March 4. President Roose Telt delivered the following speech: . . My .Fellow Citizens: No people on earth have more cause to he thankful than ours, and . . this is 5aid reverently, in no spirit '-. of boastfulness in our own strength, lint with gratitude to the Giver of Good, who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well- . being and of happiness. To us as a : people it has been granted to lay the "toundntions of our national life in a new continent. Wo are the heirs of -the ages, and yet we have had to .pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead ' land of a bygone civilization. We -. have not been obliged to fight for -' out existence against any alien race; .and yet our life has called for the Igor and effort without which the "manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had - in the past, the success which we con- . firfenUy believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vain- " glory, but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which lire has of fered us; a full acknowledgment of ' the responsibility which is ours: and a. fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty ." people can thrive best, alike as re gards the things of the body and the things of the soul. Much has been given to us. and much will rightfully be expected from .. us We have duties to others and duties to ourselves: and we can shirk neither. We have become a great na . ion. forced by the fact of its great , mrss into relations with the other na tions of the earth; and we must be 'have as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude tury and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face oth er perils the very existence of which it was impossible that, they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial developments of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and for midable an experiment as that of ad ministering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a democratic re public. The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well being, which have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance, and individual initiative, have also hi ought the care and anxiety insepar able from the accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends: not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. If we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and therefore our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is to day, and to the generations yet un born. There is no good reason why wo should fear the future, but there is everj- reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing tc approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright. Yet, after all, though the problems are new. though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and pre strved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertak- ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS TAKE OATH Thousands of Visitors Throng National Capital to Witness the Ceremony Procession the Greatest Seen in Washington Since the Close of the Civil War.

Under the shadow of the gray domed capitol. gazing into the placid marble features of Greenough's statue of the first president, the twenty-sixth president of the United States swore faithfully to execute the laws and to preserve, protect, and defend the con stitution. There were represented in the throngs that had journeyed to the cap ital to greet President Roosevelt men from the North. South. East and West, and from distant islands of the seas; from the Philippines, from Porto Rico, from Hawaii from every land where floats the emblem of the Re public. In the great parade there rode governors of states, both North and South. The president's old rancher friends, with iariat and chaparejos and wiry bronchos, made strange contrast to the stiff-backed, pouter chested young men from the national military schools. Rough Riders from San Jnan Rill, volunteers from Santiago, jackies from Manila bay shared the plaudits of the multitude with modest, every day soldiers,, for whom the title Reg ular is distinction quite enough. Political clubs from East and West, militiamen from North and South, blue-clad veterans of the sixties, heroes of the Spanish-American war, miners from Pennsylvania, the entire legislature of the state of Tennessee, the president's neighbors from Oyster Bay all contributed to the national character of the splendid pageant. There wero waiting for the presi dent when he emerged from the white house thirty picked men from the Rough Riders under Gov. Brodie. With the crack squadron A of the First Cavair;., U. S. Army, they formed his escort to the capitol. As they swung aiouiid the treasury building into Pennsylvania avenue a division of the G. A. R.. with Gen. O. O. Howard and staff in the lead, which had been standing at salute, wheeled into the column, while the cavalrymen checked their pace to accommodate the slower footsteps of the aged veterans. A mighty wave of chters swept along the avenue as the president's carriage came in sight. Throughout the whole route the president, with hat in hand, kept bowing in acknowledgment of the greetings. On his arrival at the capi tol he was conducted to the president's room, in the rear cf the senate cham ber, where he began at once the sign ing of belated bills. At noon he en tered the abode of the senate to wit ness the installation of Senator Fair hanks as vice president. This cere mony concluded, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of the capitol to receive the oath from Chief Justice Fuller and to deliver his inaugural ad dress. Immediately upon its conclu sion the president was escorted back to the white house, where, after lunch ing with the officials of the inaugural committee, he took his position on the ftand in front to review the formal inaugural parade. Inauguration Ceremonies. The broad plaza whose level surface stretches east from the national capi tol can accommodate an army. For hours Washington poured its own pop ulation and a vast increment cf vis itors into the front yard of the seat of government. Eight acres of humanity spread fan-shaped from the focus made by a little covered shelter, open At the sides, where the president was to stand. Over toward the imposing facade of the congressional library it extended, literally a "sea of faces." There may have been only nO.OflO; probably there were nearer 100,000 in sight of the president when he took the oath. The imposing form of Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan, who is almost heroic in stature, was the first to catch the eye of the vast crowd. Flanked by the marshal of the Su preme Court and the marshal of the District of Columbia, Justice Harlan led his colleagues, garbed in flowing robes of black, topped with satin skull caps, to their seats at the left of the tribune. After a brief pause. Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, mar shaled forth the ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries. Mrs. Rooreelt and Mrs. Fairbanks were next escorted to seats just out side the tribune. The prtsident's chil dien were with Mrs. Roosevelt, and Mr. Fairbanks' two sons, students at Yale, and his daughter, Mrs. Adelaide Timmohs, were with Mrs. Fairbanks. Mrs. Roosevelt was gowned in a se verely plain tailored suit of electric blue; the round skirt was trimmed in bands of lighter shade panne vel vet, and the short, modish jacket had a vest of the panne braided in silver. Mrs. Fairbanks wore a beautiful dress of brown velvet, trimmed with chiffon and white ermine. Her hat and gloves were also white. Vice President Fair banks, accompanied by the secretary of the senate and followed by the sen ators and ex-senatcrs, was next in tv. enty-one. fired in honor of the newly inaugurated chief executive. The tension was broken, and a roar of cheers resounded far and wide across the plaza. For many minutes the jangle of sounds continued before the president could ifind a chance to be gin his inaugural address. The conclusion of the address was the signal for another ovation, dur- J ing which Mr. Roosevelt shook hands with most of the notables who pressed about the tribune. Then he was es corted back to the rotunda of the Capitol and thence to the executive chamber, where he held a brief recep tion before leaving for the Whit House. Vice-President Sworn in. Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks, oi Indiana, became vice-president of the United States shortly after the marble-faced clocks of the senate chamber registered noon. At that hour Senator Frye, presi dent pro torn., hammered the marble desk, and announced in set formula that the senate of the Fifty-eighth congress was adjourned cine die; then ho immediately called the extra ordinary session of the senate of the Fifty-ninth congress to order. Mr. Fairbanks was forthwith ush ered into the chamber, the senate members of the Inaugural committee VICE-PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS. Riders and Squadron A. at a hrtsp clip proceeded up the Avenue to the White House, where the president, af ter his lunch, took position in the grand reviewing stand, surrounded by members of his cabinet, the diplomats and other rotables. Then, to the blare of bugles, the big procession started. The first brigade was headed by I ieut. Gen. Wade, in command of the entire military section. After him came the Fifth band, artillery corps, stationed at Fort Hamilton. New York. This was first of forty bands in the parade. Sustaining their repu tation of being the most perfcctlv drilled body of troops in the world, next followed the corps of cadets from the United States military academv. Naturally they divided honors with the future admirals from Annapolis, uho marched immediately behind, diessed in natty suits of navy blue, the jolly jack-tar snirit fairlv shin ing in their boyish faces. Then came the regulars, real enlisted men. five hundred of the Second batallion of engineers swinging along behind their own band. Then came the state troops. To the number of 14.000 they occupied nearly two hours in passing a given point. In order to prevent disputes as to pre cedence each state contingent came in alphabetical order, so that Ala bama, with a single company of her Third regiment, led the way. Indiana. Vice President Fairbanks' home state, had only a company to her credit, sixth in line, while the president's state, New York, with the largest quota, three full regiments and several separate bodies, totaling nearly 4,000 men. was tenth in order. Although soldiery was the chief fea ture, the civilian organizations form ing the second section of the parade showed up strong in numbers. March ing in the open order affected by po litical clubs, they spread all over the avenue. There were about 15,000 in line. They seemed to be passing an interminable time, mostly wearing top hats and twirling fragile walking sticks. FOR HEALTHY AND LONG LIFE Simple Rules, the Observance of Which WiiS Double Capacity for Work, and Pleasure Daily Exercise. Clerks, bookkeepers and thousands of other indoor workers suffer from the lack of pure air and muscular ex ercise. If an attempt Is made to be gin systematic exercise, or an hour or bo is spent in digging or chopping wood, undue soreness and fatigue are produced. This disagreeable result often stops the experiment. Instead of discouraging the trial, the 'very soreness should point out the great need of the body. If the work wero persisted in and gradually increased the stiffness would soon disappear, and leave in its place a general feeling of increased vigor. The nerves are strengthened and the bodily activities quickened. The ef fect is not alone on the muscles used, but upon each organ. The blood is purified and the digestion strength ened. The effects of a prolonged sedentary life are overcome only by working off the accumulated poisons and creating an appetite for new pure food. This is built up in the body, and thus the whole man is renewed. Exercise must be carefully increased and adapted to the individual muscu lar strength. The weakest muscles must bo brought up to the standard of the others. For feeble persons who are not able to do the desired work, massage. Swedish movements and mechanical exercises should be employed. For more robust persons, walking, horsebnek riding, rowing, bicycle rid ing and especially swimming are to be recommended. the man, "I wn a band master now." To live a natural life is the only safeguard against tuberculosis. - Ono climate may do as well as another if only you live out of doors, get plenty of cold, fresh air. bathe the body with cold water daily, eat simple, nutri tious food and take as much exerciso as possible without exhausting the tody. How to Have a Clear Head. The man who desires to have a clear head, a brain keenly a.ive to the subtle influences of the universe about him. alert to respond to every" call made upon It by the bodily organs un der its supervision ready to receive impressions from the infinite Source of universal thought, and cnpable of thinking the high thoughts of God after Him, must live simply, abstemi ously, naturally, and must avoid everv harmful and inferior food. He will Inaugurated March 4, 1905. order. Then came Speaker Cannon and the house ot representatives. The instant the tall form of the vice presi dent appeared a swellin- cheer burst irom the crowd. Mr. Fairbanks bowed repeatedly before taking his chair. Secretary lla and other members of the cabinet were ushered to their chairs, and at their heels came Ad miral Dewey and Lieut. Gen. Chaffee, l.iilows of cheers greeted Admiral Dewey, and the hero of Manila bay showed that he was pleased. The governors of states and terri tories and the other invited guests followed in indiscriminate fashion, and in a short time all was in readiness for the coming of the chief executive. President Roosevelt advanced from the door of the capitol, arm in arm with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly, from all parts of Uie eight acres of humanity, arose a prolonged, tumultu ous shout. Behind the president and his white-haired companion came James H. McKinney, clerk of the su preme court, bearing a ponderous Bible. When the demonstration ceased. Chief Justice Fuller, his snowy locks. falling to his shoulders, pronounced the oath. President Roosevelt's voice was easily audible at some distance when he repeated the formal declara tion prescribed in article II of the Constitution: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and w ill to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A second later he bowed and pressed his lips upon the open pages or Holy Writ. Again erect, he faced the people, and for an instant perfect silence held. A signal had been Hashed from the dome of the capi tol to the navy yard, whence came the boom of a ten-inch gun, first of acting as his escort. Ho proceeded to the rostrum, where Senator Frye administered the usual oath. The new vice-president's first official act was to call upon the senate's chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, to pray. Mr. Fairbanks then delivered his inaugural address, and, at its con clusion, he instructed the secretary to nail the president's proclamation convening the extraordinary session of the senate. Next the new sena tors were called to the secretary's desk and took the oath. President Roosevelt was then ercorted back to the executive cham ber, adjoining the marble room, pre paratory to going to the east portico, himself to take the oath of office. The other distinguished visitors filed out of the chamber in the order of official precedence, and went to the seats as signed them for the president's cere mony. The Great Parade. With standards waving, guidions whipping in the breeze, and regi n ental colors flaunting, infantry, cav alry, and artillery tramped, pranced, and rumbled through historic Penn sylvania avenue. Experienced observers declared that the procession beat all its pre decessors, even that of McKinley's second inauguration. Not since the review of the Federal army after the Civil war has the Avenue seen so many and such variety of soldiers. There were between thirty-three and thirty-five thousand men in line. For three hours the mobilization pro gressed along First street. Pennsyl vania avenue, and confluent streets about the Capitol. Ahead of the parade proper Presi dent Roosevelt and his escort, this time composed solely of the Rough Ohio, which usually manages to make her presence felt, kept up her reputation. She had in line the fa mous Rail-splitters of the Toledo Lin coln club, the Tippecanoe club of Cleveland, the famous singing organ izations of Columbus, the Buckeye and Republican glee clubs, the Knights cf Maccabees and the Fleischmann Re publican club of Cincinnati. The Spanish war veterans followed the G. A. R. veterans, there being about 2,000 ali told of these two so cieties. The Ball. Inaugural balls are the biggest so cial functions that occur in America. The evening's reception at the Pen sion building exceeded in grandeur its predecessors in the great edifice. There were in the neighborhood of 12.000 persons at the ball.

He will con serve for useful work every energy of mind and body. He will endeavor to live righteously in the largest sense of the word. Inherited Consumption. Some people think that because their parents died with consumption they are doomed by the same plague. This is not so. Cases of iniiHtii consumption are very rare. The real reason why so many in a family suf fer from tuberculosis is to be found elsewhere than in heredity. The afllicted member does not know the necessity for personal cleanliness, for religiously collecting and burning all matter spit up. The use of the ordinary pocket handkerchief ail tho washing of It in the family laundry is a constant source of danger. -Rico paper handkerchiefs or old linen should be used and then burned. The person himself is almost harm less. It is only the lack of care in scattering the genus that makes him a dangerous companion. These bad practices are usually due to ignorance. It is not necessary to isolate the pa tient for the protection of the family. Each person not affected should breathe fresh air, exercise out of doors, eat simple food, bathe daily and sleep eight hours each night. This will increase the body's vital Iower and resist the deadly genus which may be breathed in. The rest of the family being thus fortified, tho ratient should co-operate in the pro tection. Let him study to prevent the germs from being scattered broadcast through the house. Then let all co operate in the fresh air cure of tho patient, and he may live In peace and pleasure, gradually fighting his way back to health, and in no way dan gerous to his friends. When every consumptive intelli gently co-operates with the family and physician, the day of "inherited consumption" will be passed. "" Night Air and Consumption.

The lace trimming was of Brussels point d'applique, with a design of bow-knots and marguerites interwoven. The decorations of the ball-room outdid anything that ever before has been attempted. Walls, columns, win dows and every nook and corner were covered with greens and cut flowers, palms and ferns, flags, banners and bunting, so that the thousands of guests might look with interest upon something else of beauty than dazzling gowns and glittering jewels. The doors of the Pension building were thrown open at S o'clock, but the president and his party did not arrive until 3 o'clock. They went im mediately to rooms specially prepared, carpeted and decorated for their recep- night air. Open the bedroom to all the sun possible during tiie day. The room will then be dry, though cold. Damp ness is dangerous and more apt to oc cur in a closed than in a wide-open room. Keep at least one window in the bedroom open day and night, sum mer and winter. The door should shut the chamber off from the rest of the house. In the morning the patient should be taken quickly into a warm room for the cold sponge bath. Stomach. The majority of people never stop to think that the stomach is anything more than a receptacle for things that have been chewed. They got hold of something that tastes good and swal low it into the stomach to got it out of the way. so there will be room for something more. That might be all right if the stomach were a garbage box that could be carried off and emptied; but nature intends the stom ach for another purpose. We are constructed of what we eat.

Insidious Poisons. The poisonous effects resulting from the use of tea and coffee are very decidedly manifest to one who has given thought to this question, and has made careful observations in relation to it.

She is a club woman with a sense of humor, but'ihe other day when she decided to attend a federation session in another town she had some mis givings. She told her husband that she was possessed of a premonition of evil and cautioned him to be espe cially careful qf the children. He merely laughed and said that he guessed they would be all right, then remarked, jocosely: "if you get wor ried you might telegraph." In the evening of her second day away she did worry and sent this telegram to her husband: "How are the children." The messenger boy came with the dispatch just as the man was about tt .retire. He read it. smiled and then penned this answer: "They're all right. Why?" "I guess that will hold her for awhile." he said to himself, and then he went to bed. He felt so good over what he con sidered to be the shrewdness of his reply that he laughed to himself, for getting for the time being the old adage: "He laughs best who laughs last." It was 3 o'clock in the morning when he was aroused by the violent ringing of his door bell.
