America and Rome.

With idleness and luxury went the
usual tendency to brutality and de-
moralization. TIE historical novel
was not invented. so that Roman
ladies and gentlemen could not sit by
the fire of an evening and read highly
spiced narratives of murder ami tor
ture. But, after all, the incidents of
the arena, though less varied, were
perhaps even more piquant than Mr.
Kipling or Mr.. Jack London. Social
morals, too, were of a quality which
seems only too apt to accompany the
highest civilization. Divorce was al
most as easily obtained as in some of
our western states, and nearly as com
mon. Cicero, for instance, was sepa-
rated from two wives; yet he was
universally regarded as of stainless
character, and that he was wise is
shown by his remarking, when urged
to marry third time, that 1T is
difficult for man to devote himself AT
once to wife and to philosophy -

The Man and the Hour.

Conditions in Russia are ripe today
for great man. And by the same
inscrutable law which has obtained al,
ways the great man is on the spot.
NJ De White takes up the mighty BUR-
den of Russia's woes as a giant might
take up a hurt child, bind up its
wounds and comfort it, The new hero
stands for humanity. All the moral
force in the world is with him. Men
may wonder that the most autocratic
ruler on earth should meekly submit
to a man of the people, and that an
oppressed, despairing nation should
look up at his coming with new hope
But it has been the law through all
the ages. Somehow, from somewhere,
the man of the hour comes ana

Analo-Japanese AItruists.

Washington Post.-It is said that
Secretary Root has consented to give
a hearing to the Corean emissary who
has come here to protest against the
seizure of the hermit kingdom" by
Japan. This may or may not be true.
At any rate, it is none of our business,
Japan has taken possession of Corea
all right enough, and, although she
went to war for the ostensible purpose
of preserving Corea's integrity from
the rapacious designs of Russia, it
now appears that her real object in
the whole affair was to do that very
trick herself. But all this is part of
the comedy and no one need be sur
prised. England was terribly wrought
up over base and treacherous plans
of Russia, so while the war was rag
ing in Manchuria she stepped in and
gobbled Thibet in order to protect it
from the universal spectator. The
outside world has watched the prog
ress of these Allied altruists and has
overlooked no step in the march of
their benevolent assimilation.

She Saw the Tragedy.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
tells of little girl whose statements
were always exaggerated until she
became known in school and Sunday
school as "a little liar" Her parents
were dreadfully worried about her,
and made strenuous efforts to correct
the bad habit. One afternoon her
mother overheard an argument with
her playmate, Willie Bangs, who
seemed to finish the discussion by
saying emphatically: "I'm, older than
you, cause my birthday comes first
in May, and yours. don't come until
September" l,-.e

world is a policeman. Every man

that his brother man watches him in

there was a suburban grocer who
took his clerk to a saloon one day
after closing time and purchased a
good many glasses of beer. then,
after he began to feel talkative and
trustful, the grocer said:-
Look here, John, owe $4,000
Yes, sir said the clerk, 4 know

stock is completely run down. I think

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom.
ach Trouble.
Q. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.

Q. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and pol
sons the entire system. Eventually the
results are death under the name of some
other disease. Note the deaths from
typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach
and bowel trouble at the present time.
c. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond t. the call of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. Ii causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney. lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t
is the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of
sleep and strength are its symptoms
piles, appendicitis and fistula are caused
by Constipation. Its consequences are
known to all hysicians, but few suffer
ers realize their condition until it is too
late. Women become confirmed inyalids
as a result of Constipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ''are you constipatedT" That
is the secret
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor
oil, injections, etc., every one of which
is Injurious. They weaken and increase
the malady. You know this by your own
experience.
Q. What then should be done to cure
it?
A. Get a bottle of Mulrs Grape Tonic
at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will posi-
lively cure Constipation and Stomach
Trouble in the shortest space of time. No
other remedy has before been known to
cure Constipation positively and perma-
nently.
@. What is Mull's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is Compound with 40 per cent
of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t ex-
erts a peculiar strengthening, healing in
fiuence upon the intestines, so that they
can do their work unaided The process
is gradual, but sure. 1t is not physic,
but it cures Constipation, Dysentery.
Stomach and Bowel Trouble. Having a
rich, fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to
take. As a tonic it is unequalled, insur-
ing the system against disease. 1t
strengthens and builds up waste tissue.
Q. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be
had?
A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the so
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.

used it because we know it will cure you
