Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. II
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however. pre-.
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich.

AMERICAN FLAG NO TOY.
Patriotic Decision of Customs Board
Against Japanese Importers.

Under no circumstances is the Amer
lean flag to be regarded as a toy, ac-
cording to the board of United States
general appraisers. The board decided
on Jan. 81 last that Takito & Co. OF
Chicago and other Japanese importers
cannot bring in the stars and stripes
under the toy schedule Of the Dingley
tariff.
The flags in the test case were made
of silk and were not over an inch and
One-half in length. The collector Of
customs at Chicago exacted duty on
the flags at the rate of 80 per cent ad
valorem under the provision In the tar
III for manufactures of silk" The
importers asserted that the flags should
be admitted at 35 per cent as toys.
In his decision General Appraiser
Sharretts says, I'VE do not think that
the American flag. however diminutive,
Is commercially, commonly or nation
ally regarded as a plaything for chill
dren and we find that the flags In dis
pute are not toys"

A MEMORABLE FOURTH.
The Surrender of vcksbure as Seen by
General Frederick D. Grant.

My greatest celebration of Independ-
ence day occurred when a boy of
thirteen at the surrender of Vicksburg.

afternoon of July held a conference
with General Pemberton within few
hundred feet Of the rebel lines, and
was deeply impressed with the solem-
nifty of 1t all But the spectacle of the
surrender on the following day was
a scene that cannot be adequately de-
scribed.
During the siege there had been &
good deal of friendly sparring between
the soldiers of the two armies on pick
ct and where the lines were close to-
gether. All rebels were dubbed "John-
MES" all Union troops called "Yanks."
Often Johnny" would call, well,

I'VE propose to celebrate the Fourth
Of July there" Sometimes It would

with kindness and do not want to hurt
them" or Eve are holding you as pris-
Oners Of war while you are feeding

ceived regularly through the courtesy
OF the rebel pickets, said prior to the
Fourth. in speaking Of the Yankee"
boast that they would take dinner In

recipe for cooking a rabbit was First

printed on the plain side Of wall paper

According to agreement, white flags

the appointed hour the garrison Of

regiments of his division was the first
to float over the courthouse. Our SOL
diers were no sooner inside the lines
than the two armies began to frater-
nize. Our men had had full rations
from the time the siege began to the
close. The enemy had been suffering
toward the last, and l saw our men

In the midst of the uncertainty of the

the national ode.

Mrs. George Livingston Baker of New
~.
in the history of the flag
Some surprise has been expressed at
| different times that the flag Is not now
and has not always been in the pos
session of the national government
Mrs. Baker explained this by saying
that the flag was presented to Colonel
Armistead by the government after
the fight. Mrs. Hunter says that the
flag was the private property of Colo
mel Armistead, having been presented
to him by Il committee of fifty Balti-
more citizens few days before the
conflict When he saw the British
fleet approaching. he threw 1t to the
breeze.
Colonel Armistead was a brilliant
| officer" Mrs. Hunter said ale was
graduated at West Point as a second
lieutenant In 1899, became a captain in
1906, major in 1913, brevet lieutenant
colonel in 1914. After his defense Of
the fort on Sept. -. 1914, he was made
colonel.
"My mother was born In the fort
some time before the death of the
colonel, which occurred on April %
| 1918. She was named for him GeOrgi-
ana.
II remember playing under the flag
as girl. Its history since the fight is
| one mainly of the occasions when it
was exhibited. The last of these was
at the sesquicentennlal celebration of
the city of Baltimore in 1880.
1T was also exhibited at the Cen
tennial exposition at Philadelphia in
1876 and | think at some celebration
connected with the Old South church
in about 1879 under the auspices of
Commodore Preble. But / forget the
raising of the flag at Fort McHenry

Lafayette
The disposition of the flag at my
brothers death is problematical. He
may leave it to the Peabody institute

nor her sister Is connected with any

Of bedrooms, all opening upon a pri-

privacy and a sense of family unity to
each set of rooms. Warming and re-
