NATION TO FIGHT ILLS.
Chicago and Other Epidemics Start
Movement for New Cabinet Portfolio
Disease in Windy City Is Less.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. J,-As Il result
of the siege of disease in Chicago, and
in other parts of the country, President
q. W. Webster of the state board of
health is urging that there should be es-
tabiShed a national health bureau the
head Of which should be Il member of
the presidents cabinet.
Il believe that one of the prime
causes of this epidemic asserted DR..
Webster. is common lack of the ele-
mentary principles of citizenship. shared
in by the farmer who produces the milk,
the shipper. and the man in whose home
the scarlet fever develops Each of them
believes that he can take Il chance and
not be caught.
'"rhcre is no method of meeting such
conditions except by national board of
health"

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure
Nest Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
it's victims. Worst of all, the ordin-
airy, treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 80 Union
Street Auburn, Me-. says: For
years | suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that | would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. | tried medicines but got no re-
lief. l had no appetite and when
the headache passed away l felt as if
l had been sick for a month Ny
blood was thin and | was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them, | first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and l
commenced to gain in weight and
color, My headaches stopped and
have not returned and I have never
felt so well as | do now"

Some Drinkers Logic.

Russell Sage was much opposed to
drinking He would often rail with
homely and humorous wisdom against
drink.
MEN drink" he said one day to a
broker. because they are happy, be-
cause they are sad, because they are too
warm, because they are too cold. Is
there any logic in that?
when | see men drinking | think of
a little boy at tie seashore.
This little boy. at play with his buck
ct and shovel in the sand, suddenly ran
to the edge Of an advancing wave. and.
scoopng up a handful of salt water and
foam drank it greedily.
'''Oh don't drink that. said his nurse.

MEMORIES PLAY TRICKS.
How the Oriental Priests Drill Their
Students

Most persons have retentive memories
for faces and far less for the names that
designate the faces. Probably this is
due to the artihcality of names; their
total lack of relation to the face; their
mere unrelated arbtrariness No two
Smiths look alike, and there are millions
of Smiths. We readily remember and
identify Smiths features, but his name
has slipped off the memory. Anyhow,
whatever the psychologist cause, the fact
remains, often to the annoyance, some
times to the modification, of the forget
full one and the Chagrin of the forgotten
one. 1t Is very embarrassing to nave
forgotten a name at moment when an
introduction is essential to good man
ners and there is n sense of humiliation
in being obliged to ask the name and
apologize for forgetting it.
While some fortunate persons are en-
dowed with Il memory that retains faces
the other any memory can be trained by
a simple process into rctentiYenesS ana
identification. 1t involves nothing more
than an application of the method by
which Oriental priests drill their pupils
in momorizing those parts of their rltu-
ais which are not committed to writing.
The first word Of a sentence is re
peated four times by the class: then the
second in connection with the first four
times. the third with the first and second
four times, and so on through the sen
tence. One with that defect of memory
thrust suddenly into political work, NOR
tilted by his inability to recall names,
sensible of the detriment in his work
caused by it, bethought himself Of the
Buddhistic method, and, when intro
duced, mentally repeated several timcsi
