C J Budlong Waablogton recalls personal illness from hereditary kidney trouble and credits four bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy with his cure. He urges others not to neglect their health before it is too late, offering the testimonial as a cautionary note.
The piece critiques modern life and the press, arguing the mechanical age erodes leisure and thought. It claims newspapers shape public opinion, suppress opposing views, and reflect capitalist interests, harming labor, education, religion, and social consciousness.
O. M. Ben reports Foley’s Kidney Remedy shows admirable results in children by stopping bed wetting and is also advised after massage and scarlet fever. These claims reflect survey notes and recommendations in the period’s medical advertising.
Boulton Hall son of the late Rev. Dr. John Hall issues an open letter to the Presbyterian general assembly criticizing the church for focusing on a boxing match while neglecting social ills. He denounces anti prizefight protests as self serving and calls for action against broader moral issues.
A Minnesota committee studied compensations for personal injuries from industrial accidents. Court records in Hennepin County show yearly court costs from personal damage cases exceed the verdicts.

European papers portray Roosevelt as European in spirit rather than American. London Post calls him un-American for lacking practical business sense, French outlets compare him to a grand French gentleman, and Italian, German, and Austrian papers note traits resembling European leaders or generals, framing his persona as foreign to American ideals.
In a critical stance the Star argues Roosevelt seeks European prestige, taunting Taft by claiming Roosevelt’s influence helped his election and calling Roosevelt’s posts abroad a misstep while urging patience for Taft's reforms.
A subscriber criticizes a new federal post office building for a hidden stairway with eight lookouts to spy on workers. The writer warns it promotes distrust and erodes manhood, arguing such espionage invites wrongdoing rather than preventing it, and questions its ethics and practicality.
Last Wednesday and Thursday evenings Halley's comet appeared brighter than any other night yet proved less spectacular than expected.
