From The London Mail
Since the war has broken out an excellent in

all classes of society is afforded by compiling
an anthology Of the songs which are in most
demand to-day
An exhaustive inquiry among the principal
music publishers shows that few songs are sell
ing Well which are not imbued with the martial
and patriotic spirit
We find it almost impossible" said the head
or a famous firm Of music publishers to a repre-
sentative OF The Daily Mail" TO sell songs
IN any quantity which are not both in words
ana music calculated TO fan the war fever. The
sentimental love song is nowhere unless the
hero is a soldier
we dispose OF a hundred military songs to

has been going 10 his music seller and investing
in war song or two. Probably no class Of the

DEVOTED WIFE SLAIN.
Tried 10 Prevent Her Husband From
Committing Suicide

Kutztown, Pa. March 17.-Mrs. Llewel-
lyn Grim, of New Smithville, who was
mortally wounded by her husband Wednes-
day night, died at noon yesterday after
making a statement exonerating her hus-
band from the terrible charge of murder.
According TO this statement, her husband
had frequently threatened TO kill himself
Last night he came home intoxicated ard
Informed his wife that he intended to COM
nit suicide. She pleaded with him not to
do so. but he got revolver and ran up
stairs. The wife followed and found him
standing before looking glass with his
finger pressing the trigger.
With shrek the woman flung herself
upon him and made frantic efforts to get
possession of the revolver. Realizing that
she was struggling for the life of him she
had married bJt three years before the
devoted wife at last grasped the weapon.
Then followed desperate struggle, with
the result that the charge was exploded
just as the woman was about to wrench
the revolver from her husbands grasp.
The cartridge entered the abdomen of
Mrs. Grim and she fell mortally wounded.
FrenZied by the belief that his attempt
TO kill himself would possibly result in
the death of his wife. Grim hurriedly sum-
lponed Drs. Edwin and Z. L. Hottensten
and then disappeared. Everything possible
was done to alleviate the woman's suffer
ing. but she grew rapidly worse and died
about noon.

1t is just about as hard to induce a
confirmed invalid, especially one suffer
ing with weakness of the lungs, to take
the first step to health. There is lack
of confidence, and perhaps a crushing
experience of a former failure which
depresses and discourages the sufferer.
In spite of doubts and fears YOU will
take the first step to health when you
take the first dose of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t never fails to
help. In ninety-eight cases ont of one
hundred it never fails to cure. Never
mind about the symptoms. Obstinate
cough, bleeding of the lungs, splitting of
blood, emaciation, night-sweats, condi-
tions which if neglected or unsllillfully
treated terminate in consumption, have
all been perfectly and permanently cured
by Golden Medical Discovery"
Sick persons are invited to consult DR..
r. V. Pierce by letter, absolutely without
fee or charge. Every letter is regarded
es sacredly confidential. Each answer is
mailed in plain envelope. Address DIR.
