Marjorie and Frances were hurrying
to get to the lane before little Jim
caught up with them; his legs were
much shorter than theirs. and he was
quite a distance behind.

we're all right" said Marjorie. "Jim's
three years younger than l am, and
he's the most awful tagger you ever

to tell you when we're way In the

nobody can hear. It's about a party
I'm going to have next week."

New Headache Cure.-To those VINO
suffer with violent headaches, and es"
peciaIly so during extremely hot days
in the summer, relief may be found In
the following prescription: Take a
small quantity of black pepper, and
put 1t in piece of fine linen, then fold
over SO the grains will not fall out and
wet the whole bandage with camphor'
Place 1t across the head and lie down
on the back. The pain will cease in
very short time and the patient will
fall asleep. When the camphor dries
out of the linen, If not relieved, satu-
rate it again.
Pulmonary Complaints.-Ichthyol has
frequently been employed in the treat
ment Of pulmonary tuberculosis with
gratifying results. Administer it d.
luted with an equal quantity of water
in doses of five to twenty drops thrice
daily in wine or black coffee as We
hicle after meals. Ichthyol is perfectly
non-toxic and is not injurious to the
digestive organs. The appetite will
likely improve under the use Of this
remedy. Annoying night-sweats are
relieved, the cough quieted and fever
reduced. Ichthyol may be recommend
ed as an efficient substitute for creo
sote and its derivatives in the treat
ment of pulmonary tuberculosis.

TENET OF AMERICAN EAITH.
Monroe Doctrine-How Long Lire of
Presidents Asserted it-Grant's
Reassertion.

What we call ''the Monroe doctrine
is not, properly speaking, doctrine
at al. Rather is it a declaration OF
executive policy, for as originally made
by President James Monroe on De
cember 2, 1928, it did no more than de,
fine the attitude of his administration
toward the question, then pending, of
the occupation and colonization of ter
Iitory on this hemisphere by non
American powers. That declaration
reiterated by Monroe on December z,
1924, was made with England's knowl
edge and consent. and bound this ma
ton no further than the end of the
Monroe administration.
1t would have lapsed with its au.
thor's exit from Office had ii not struck
the chord of public sentiment, and had
not Mr. Monroe's successors recog-
nized the wisdom of giving adherence
to the policy defined by him This they
did, and we find that the policy OF
Monroe was reasserted:
BY Tyler on December 80, 1912.
By Polk on December 2, 1S45.
BY Polk on December 7,lS47.
BY Polk on April 90 1913
BY Buchanan on December 1853
BY Buchanan on December 3, 1850.
BY Grant on May 81, 1870
BY Grant on December 5, 1870.
BY Grant on April s. 1871.
BY Cleveland on December 2, 1895
BY Cleveland on December II, 1895
By Mckinley and Roosevelt on nu
merous occasions in the last six years
Grant in reasserting the doctrine
declared it should be extended, and
on May 81. 1870, in message to con
gress, said that thereafter territory Oh
this hemisphere should not be sub
ject of transfer (by treaty or other
wise} to any European power
AS the original declaration of this
policy was made in a message to con
gress. so has been each reassertion oil
