What Makes a Woman?

One hundred and twenty pounds,
more or less, of bone and muscle

foundation. Put into it's health
and strength and she may rule a
kingdom. But that's just what E.

sands bless them for overcoming
fainting and dizzy spells and for
dispelling weakness, nervousness,
backache and tired, listless, worn
out feeling. "Electric Bitters have
done me world of good" writes
Eliza Pool, Depew, Okla "snd /
thank you, with all my heart, for
making such a good medicine. +"

One Man Rule as Exemplitied IN Fred

Frederick was ain intensively active,

reliant commander. He concentrated
all power in his own hands. reducing
his ministers to clerical work and his
generals to the duties Of personal lieu
tenants. Below him the Prussian adj
ministration was thing Of stiR and
mechanical obedience, lacking IN ini-

Several OF yredericz's military losses

generals such minute orders and was

gfructions that they did not dare to
use their own Judgment when unfOr-
seen conditions presented themselves.
He personally foresaw and provided
for everything, and be inspected fire.
Quently and thoroughly His discipline
was severe. his organization good, his
calculation accurate and limited to-
what was possible. His movements,
which were skillfully disguised, were
rapid.
So superior was Frederick to his op-
ponents In strategy that they were
obliged for safety to keep their troops
IN so concentrated form that there
was not SUFFICIENT space for effective
maneuvers. He was more capable In
marching and maneuver than in bait
tle, more capable. In battle than In
siege.
His great defect as an administrators
lay In the fact that he dwarfed the
growth OF those below him and SO edu-
Gated no talented corps to bear the

state when he should be obliged to
lay them down. He apparently could

 But while the court will work in sec tions, all cases involving the constitution ality of statutes or questions submitted to the court of appeals, or cases where the death penalty has been imposed will be considered en banc.r
 Under the new rules, each section will take up its rehearings docket once in each month.
