Asked to Contribute Fund to Honor
the Man Who Wrote the Declaration
of Independence Congress Will Not
Be Asked For Aid.
Washington. Feb. 2 The Thomas
Tefterson Memorial Association, organ
ized tor the (impose of erecting at
the national capital an appropriate and
truly national memorial to the "author
of the Declaration of Independence,"
through its president, Admiral George
Dewey, has Issued an appeal to the
American people tor funds to carry
out the Vject of the association. The
text of the- apiN-al Is as follows:
To th-.- American People The
I Thomas Jefferson Memorial Associa
tion has b.en organized to take up
the Imi i neglected duty of erecting a
I fittins menu rial to the memory 01 mu
I man who wrote the Declaration of Ic
dependence.
We have here beautiful and costly
tributes to the memory of American
soldiers, sailors, statesmen, physicians
Inventors and philanthropists, and thy
soldiers nnd sailors of Franco are
honorpd. but there Is not one tablet
to the memory of that great Ameri
can, Thomas Jefferson.
We ask the people to contribute ac
cording to their ability to this me
niorlal. Congress will not be asked
for money, as we rely solely upon the
people, the young and the old, th-?
children and their parents, tor thu
success of the movement.
The charac ter and cost of the pro
posed memorial canont be stated, but
it will be appropriate to the greatness
of the man and the importance of the
document from which his name is In
separable. Rigid economy will be ob
served. In the expenses of carrying oa
the work.
Every contributor will receive a cer
tificate acknowledging his subscrip
tions, and carrying with it member
ship in the association. In time to
come these certificates will bo
"badges of honor." I
Contributions, checks, money orders
or drafts should he made paynble to
the order of the treasurer of the as
sociation. Mr. Jesse B. Wilson, presi
dent of the Lincoln National Bank. i
The people will be kept Informed of
all important action of the associa
tion. Communications adressed to the
secretary. Mr. W. S. McLean, will re
ceive prompt nnd respectful attention.
OICORGE DEWEY.
Admiral of the Navy, President.
The association Is now complete In
Its list of officers, every state being
.ti.MnU4LJty .wtwRriQnt. and
In some cases by a member tf the
board of governors. No great move
ment of a similar character In thla
country. It is claimed, has as Its offi
cers more men of national character
and influence than this organization.
The association, it Is stated, is thor
oiishly ron-partisan, the design being
merely to raise a memorial to Mr.
Jefferson as the wtiter of the Declara
tion of Illdi'i i-ll'VlM'e.

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Cured Me.
The terrible after effects of LaGrippe are
most dangerous when ihey attack the heart,
the engine of hie. Weak hearts are as com
mon as weak' stomachs and when an attack 11
made upon the weak heart, that organ soon
becomes a diseased heart and the patient will
unless promptly treated, sutler long and
eventually die ! heart disease, the dread of
millions. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the heart's action, enriches the
blool and improves the circulation.
"Some years aco I had an attack of the
f rip, and it ld't me with a very weak heart,
alpitatum, shortness of hrcalli and smother
ing spells that made me sit up in bed to
breathe, robbing me of sl;ep, made me most
miserable. I would become fatigued and
exhausted hum the Icist exertion and was
in such a critical condition that I could not
attend to my business. My phisician seemed
unable to control mv case, and instead of
getting better I was gradually growing
weaker every day. Then 1 hep.m taking Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure and af er I had used two
bottles I was greatly unproved. I continued
with the remedy until I had taken in all six
bottles, when 1 was able to alteud to busi
ness without inconvenience. 1 was com
pletely alTd permanent! v cared of heart

Apple nail Soli KxliMiiKt Ion.
Apple trees are not as bard on soil,
as many have supposed, if we will
keep the soil in proper physical con
dition. A bulletin issued by Cornell
university shows that in a single yeai
a crop of apples will remove for the
fruit from a single acre, 13 pounds
of nitrogen, one pound of phosphoric
ncid and lit pounds of potash. The
leaves on the trees which produce
this crop of fruit will require l'.l
pounds 1 if nitrogen, 5.2 pounds of
phosphoric acid and Is. 4 pounds of
polash. The tree growth will require
9.4 pounds of nitrogen. 3.0 pounds of
phosphoric acid and R.s pounds of
potash. This looks to be a severe
strain on the soil, yet I believe that,
ill things considered, apples are
about half as hard on soil as corn.
