BLOOD WAS thin
AFTER AN AT TACK
OF The GRIP.
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before the
Health Can Be Fully
Restored.

A single attack of the grip may mean
a lifetime of misery if proper precau-
tions are not taken to restore the blood
and drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the SO called after effects of the
disease.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired d.
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
Mrs. John Jorissen, of North st. Paul,
Mimi, advises sufferers from the after
effects of the grip to build up their blood
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In her
case the pills gave her lasting benefit.
! She says:
"Some years ago | had a hard attack

And yet when / am sick, few
Come unto me as friends true blue
To cheer me in distress;
With love they come upon my bed,
And not one word is ever said
OF money or success.

Not as it might affect their wealth,

From every selfish motive free.

States Rights and the Now Slavery.

Congressman Richardson of Ala bama has interposed the doctrine of states rights as a bar to federal leg islation for the suppression of the white slave" traffic It has been pOpularly supposed that that matter was settled nearly half century ago, when it was held that states rights would have to give way when it was shielding great human wrong. State rights could not protect African slavery. and it is quite improbable that in this instance white slavery can rest securely behind that shield
 That states have rights which must ment is to be conceded, but they have never been exactly defined But one thing was settled. and that was that no state could exercise a right to the harm of the nation as a whole.
 The same confusion as to the exact rights of states exists as to the exact definition of the rights of in dividuals. Hence the frequent ap- peals to the constitution which ap- pears to have conferred rights which the federal and state laws take away. It is universally held, though, that no man can hold a right con- trary to the interests of his con- munity. All such rights are indis- criminately swept away by that later necessary institution known as police power"
 It is perhaps irrelevant to hark back to the time when that section of the country which insists upon the inviolability of states rights was not an advocate of that doctrine, when the fugitive slave law recognized no state barriers and when in the execu- ton of that law all state as well as individual rights were brushed aside

Willie K. Vanderbilt Set the Pace for the lumtummers the Other Day.

Our sartorial note of the day deals with w. K. Vanderbilt MT. Wander bilt possesses as many clothes as our old college chum, Edward of England. used to own when he cared about such things.
 MT. Vanderbilt was last seen bv Sartor Resartus when he occuried the stage at the New theater. dur ing the exercises Inaugurating that institution. MT. Nanderbilt's clothes on that occasion were not only ad- mirably. nay poetically, fitting. but they did what Strauss has done ir. music; what Whistler did in painting: what Algernon Swinburne did in pc- etry-they struck a new. an original or perhaps a forgotten note

A Plea for the Lazy.

The Saturday Evening Post, in it's current issue. depIores any kind of prosperity to which the poverty of laborers is necessary contributor. At first thought. no one would think of holding a contrary view. But on second thought one would inquire how poverty might be made contribu- tory to prosperity.
 That is explained by the Post. which takes for it's text the sending of the Chinese coolies out of South Africa. the lessened output of gold there. and the expressed hope by mine owners that the next will be a better year for gold production.
 Originally the mines of South Af- rica were worked by Kaffir labor. which was found not to be depend- able. The Kaffir. like many Ameri- cans. Englishmen and people of all nationalities. could not be counted upon to labor when he had accumu- lated enough money to pay for the crudest necessities of life.
 This disposition of the Kaffir to avoid labor resulted in the importa- tion of the coolies. most of whom have been deported within the last two years, so that the mine owners have been thrown back upon Kaffir labor. or rather upon the Kaffir ne- cessity of earning enough to enable him to live.
 At the beginning of the last year the Kaffirs were generally prosperous for Kaffirs. So many of them did not have to work that a natural con- sequence was the reduced gold fig ures.
 The mine owners are hopefully looking forward to the time when the kaffir substance will be consumed. 50 that he will have to work. and then will ensue the kind of prosperity deplored by the Saturday Evening Post-prosperity dependent upon the needs of the laborer.
 The Posts view seems to be ultra humanitarian It is well in this world that men should work To most peo- ple of the civilized nations, there are numerous incentives to labor-the de- sire of gain, the wish for the com forts and even the luxuries of life. the necessity of clothing and edu- eating their children-in short, the wish to better the conditions of them selves and their families. It is nec- essary to prosperity that the work should be done. If idleness is to be prevented only by starvation and nakedness. those distressing conditions may properly intervene for the pro- motion of prosperity.
 The Posts tears are wasted on the Kaffirs of South Africa as we'll as upon the Kaffirs of America who must be driven to labor by dire me- cessity.
