Keep the Balance Up

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful TO keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite or to get tired easily the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness or debility The system
needs a tonic, Graves il and should not
be denied it, and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparlla What this med

pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-

Naive Optimists.

six months ago there was another
outburst of optimism as naive as
though the world we're still living in the
sentimental era of glass exhibitions.
Since then there has opened another
era of political earthquakes and con-
fagrations, and the area of disturb
ance continues to extend. Before the
Tripoli problem has been safely liquid
ated or the peace Of the Balkans is as
sured, we have the outburst in China
of an instruction which may change
the face of the far east and give an
~incalculable increase of force to all
the impulses set moving by the tri-
umph of Japan. All we can be certain
of in the region of world politics is
that nothing is certain. Do we need
further lessons to convince us that
the peace of civilization is founded
upon the crust of a %volcano?" asks
