DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills relieve pain-not
only once, but as many
times as it is necessary to
take them. Many persons
who suffer from chronic
ailments find in them a
source of great relief from
the suffering which they
would otherwise be COM
PEELED to endure. Their
soothing Influence upon
the nerves strengthen
rather than weaken them.
For this reason they sell
dom lose their effective
ness.
II am 62 years old and have suffered
for AZ years from nervous troubles,
rheumatism and neuralgia, palpitation
Of the heart, shortness OF breath,
sleeplessness, and pain around the
heart. The DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
have been blessing to me. l don't
know what l should do without them,
and they are the only remedy | have
ever used that either did not wear
out In less time than / have been us
ing them, or else the injurious results
we're such that l would be obliged to
cease their USE"

IDENTIFYING HIMSELF.

From the New York Press.
well, I got that registered letter."
said the man who had returned from the
postoffice, land without having to hunt
up somebody who happened to know me
and the registry clerk, too, and by new
means of identification. I could tell the
clerk who it was from and even what was
in it, but that wasn't sufficient for him.
Then [ produced three or four letters ad
dressed to me-
F" Nope, that won't do; that doesn't
prove you are the same man the letters
are addressed to-, he said
Next, I showed my bank book. But
the clerk was from Missouri. That didn't
satisfy him, either. His scrupulous eau
ton was getting on my nerves and I was
beginning to get peevish.
:" Now, see here you have intimated
that I might be carrying around another
mans letters and another mans bank
book, but it is hardly likely that I would
be wearing another mans hat, is tt?' So
I took off my hat and showed him my
name and address written on the inside
of the swaziland That convinced him,
and I hope others may profit by my dis
covery of certain way to prove your
identity to a postoffice registry clerk"

In a Class to Itself.

"A stranger just stepping into Birming-
ham would come to the conclusion that
this city was in a class to itself, and that
it had escaped the effects of last years
panic" said Joseph L. Mason Of Cleve-
land 'I have visited many cities during
the last six months, including three or
four In the south, and have not seen SO
much evidence of prosperity as l find
here On nearly every prominent corner
in the business district not already oc-
cupied by a. skyscraper or other substan-
tial building, [ find excavators at work
on contracts for big structures; and I am
told that greater number Of handsome
residences are in course of construction
than ever before in any one year.
Birmingham is one of the best adver-
t;sed cities in the United States, but it
is safe to say that the outside world does
not realize what a striding place it is.
There is certainly no visible sign Of
hard times here. With Birmingham's
solid development in a year following a
panic the Imagination can scarcely grasp
its enormous possibilities five years from
now"

japan and the United States

The exchange of notes" between
Secretary of State Root and Ambas-
sador Takahira cannot be called more
than declaration of the policies of
the two countries at the present mo-
ment. Mr.. Roots note defines the
policy no doubt OF the Roosevelt-Taft
administrations, which may extend I'M
til March 4, 1917. The Root declaration
is not declaration of Congress or of
the administration that follows Mr..
Tafts. 1t is not law of the land ex-
cept so far as an administration de-
cides to be governed by it.
1t is In no sense a treaty, and vet
the fifth article is leading to a good
deal of discussion and many differ
ences of opinion. 1t reads as follows:
5. Should any event occur threatening
status quo as above described, or the
principle of equal opportunity as above
N0iiVN' IL remains lOF the Two govern
ments to communicate with each other in
order to arrive at an understanding as to
what measures they may consider it use
full to take.
The meaning of this clause really de-
ponds upon the nature of the emer.
gency it is applied to. Some may con-
slider 1t compulsory and some may nor
and no one can decide until an emer-
gency arrives when it will REMAIN"
for the two governments to consult
together. This would be pretty close
TO an entangling alliance if it were an
article Of treaty. AS an article in a
mere declaration, touching policies
that this country has upheld and ex.
poets to uphold, it cannot in all com.
mon sense be regarded as a violation
of Washington farewell address. II
calls for the maintenance of an omen
door in all China as that country
stands today. The fifth article Il
sound and correct even if the Senate
be ignored. The entire declaration re-
moves all distrust and friction between
Japan and the United States, and that
is reason enough.
