The True Secret Of Living.

There is saying that We spend
half our lives in living and the other
half in thinking about it. The
worst Of it is, however, that in the
rush and hurry Of the present age
We cannot always find time to think
how We can live the most oomforta-
bly,, and before we realize it dis
sease has got into our systems.
The best way IS always to be pre-
pared for such emergencies, and We
know OF no safer plan than TO use
st. Jacobs Oil. It will drive pain
away, expel all tendency to rhenma-
tism and neuralgia. and will make
you feel 30 happy that you will
spend all your time in enjoying life
without going around moping about

fifty cents each from the soldiers, but these con-
tributions are not only thrown away, but they
do harm. All men who claim to te assisting IN
procuring legislation are frauds. More, their
presence here is a detriment to the work. for
they are disgusting dead beats, and discourage
and hinder those in Congress whs are the true
friends of the soldiers.
There is a common channel open 60 all TO in-
fluence legislation. This is in whiting direct to
the Senators and Representatives. 1t costs
nothing. They will do for their constituents q
thousand times quicker and more mthusiastical-
~ than for the bores who lay around here and
prey upon the soldiers. Very frequently the
legislators, becoming disguised With tbese al
legged Representatives Of the soldiers, Us vote
against measures for the sole purpose of rebuk.
ing the system of paying them money.
Il is said that two or three Of these "agents."
or Representatives" have collected many thou
sand dollars a year from soldiers. on the pretext
that they are working for Legislation before Con-
gress. All money sent to these persons is
money worse than wasted.
