WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—President Roosevelt to-day received an invita- tion to visit Louisville, Ky. next spring and he gave a conditional ae- ceptance. The President told his vis- itors that unless tMere should be an extraordinary session of Congress next spring—a subject on which, he added, his own mind was not quite clear—he probably would go to San Antonio, Tex., to attend the annual reunion of his old regiment of Rough Riders. The | President said he expected to visit, on his way to San Antonio, Roswell, G which was the home of his mother. is. likely that other stops may be made on the trip to Texas. From San An- tonio the President may take a trip into the mountains of Colorado to get some hunting. The hunting expedi- tion may consume two or three weeks. ————— There's Only One Way to Get the Best of Whisky And that is to let it alome. If you try any other way it will get the best of you. If you can't.let it alone you need Dr. McKanna's treatment. Dr. McKan- na cures the liquor habit by destroying the desire for liquor and putting the system In its natural condition, where liquor is not needed to help the machin- ery of the body to do its work. Dr. McKanna effects a complete cure in three days without the use of dangerous hy- podermics, annoying confinement or bad after effects. Dr. McKanna's treatment is absolutely safe and cannot harm the most delicate coristitution.
