That as school days are here every Boy

are the best shoes made for Boys and
Girls. The critics of the World said

We need leg. islation. enabling the members of the foreign service to be systematically brought in direct contact with the in- dustriaI, manufacturing and exporting interests of this country fD order that American business men may enter the foreign field with clear perception of the exact conditions to be dealt with and the officers themselves may prose- cute their work with a clear idea of what American industrial and manu- featuring interests'require&
 Conclusion.
 Congress should fully realize the conditions which obtain in the world as we find ourselves at the threshold of our middle age as a nation. We have emerged full grown as peer in the great concourse of nations. We have passed through various formative pe- riods. We have been self centered in the struggle to develop our domestic resources and deal with our domestic questions. The nation is now too ma ture to continue in its foreign relations those temporary, expedients natural to a people to whom domestic affairs are the sole concern.
 In the past our diplomacy has often consisted, in normal times. in a meuw assertion of the right to international existence. We are now in a larger rels- ton with broader rights of our own and obligations toy others than our selves. A number, of great guiding principles were laid down early in the history of this government. The recent task of our diplomacy Nhas been to ad- just those principles to the conditions of today. to develop their eerollaries, ts find practical applications$of the old principles expanded to meet new sit uations Thus}are being evolved bases upon which can'restthe, superstructure of policies which must grow with the destined progress of this. nation The successful conduct of our foreign rela- lions demand a broad and a modern view.

 Effort In Retention and Expansion of Our Foreign Trade.
 It is not possible to make to the con- gress a communication upon the pres ent foreign relations of the United States so detailed as to convey an adequate impression of the enormous increase in the importance and activi- ties of those relations. If this govern ment is really to preserve to the Amer ican people that free opportunity lE foreign markets which will soon be indispensable to our prosperity. even greater efforts must be. made. Other wise the American merchant. manu- facturer and exporter will find many a field in which American trade should logically predominate pre-empted through the more energetic efforts of other governments and other coni- mercial nations.
 There are many waysin which through hearty cooperation the legislative aud executive branches of this govern ment can do much. The absolute es- sential is the spirit of united effort and singleness of purpose.

The Quickest, Simplest
 Cough Cure Easily md Chenply Made at Home. Saves You S2.

This recipe makes pint of cough syrup-enough to last a family a long time. You couldn't buy as much or as good cough syrup for $2.50.
 Simple as it is, it gives almost instant relief and usually stops the most obsti- nate cough in 24 hours. This is partly due to the fact that it is slightly laxa- tive, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to take-children like it. An excellent rem edy, too, for whooping cough croup, sore lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 1a pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 25a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worthl in pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take 8 teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all the other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this formula.
 The prompt results from this recipe have endeared it to thousands of house. wives in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been initiated often, but never successfully.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not, send to The Pinex Co.,, Tt. Wayne, Ind.

FALSE ALARMS

The boys down at the central fire sta- ton are oftentimes caused a great deal of unnecessary trouble by false alarms. A call will come in, the bell clang and auto wagon, chemical and the big en- zine will roll away, to return in few minutes, the fire merely being a store box that could have been extinguished with a wet sponge. The boys seldom kick at such calls, for there is always dan ger of fire spreading, no matter how small the start. However, the ignorance or negligence of someone was the cause of an absolutely false alarm last even ing.
 Come down to Ninth avenue ana Twenty-second street right away came the call in over the telephone, and away they went. There was no sign oe blaze the explanation being that the party wanted q policeman. Some of the boys did feel like kicking for once-but kick ing is a mighty scarce thing around the fire department.

bly, of the Roumanian parliament today asked the legislators to give the country the necessary support for the fulfillment of the hope of the nation in the forth coming changes brought by the Balkan struggle.
 At the same time he significantly re- marked that the countrys confidence in the army of Roumania was fully iusti- fled, and the troops would be ready to fulfill their mission. Roumanias policy, the king declared. was moderate, and peace within the limits compatible with the higher interests of the country.
 Remarking that Roumania had pre- served strict neutrality during the Balkan hostilities, King Charles proceeded:
 We have the right to hope that this attitude will win favorable results from our relations with the Balkan states in their new constitution. Roumania is an important factor in the concert of Europe and in the definite settlement of the ques- tions raised during the Balkan crisis Roumania's word will be listened to-"
 It was announced the Roumanian par lament would be invited to vote increased appropriations for military purposes

assurances. the public and the bourse re- fuse to be comforted There is feeling, not unjustified, that the Balkan revolu- tion is bound sooner or later profoundly to affect the internal structure of the monarchy and that, even if war is avoid ed. a period of stress and change in home affairs may be in sight
 The argument that a victorious war would be good preparation for internal reconstruction can be heard in political quarters, where common sense ought to prevail, but in Austria Hungary common sense has lately been almost as depre- cated as speculative investments"

No Change in Russian Attitude

St. Petersburg, December 9.-Russla s attitude with respect to the Balkan sit uation has not been changed by the ap- parently serious military preparations of Austria, the imperial German chancel- lor's pointed speech in the Reichstag and the renewal of the triple alliance. In diplomatic circles here these various in cidents are interpreted as tactical devel- opments of Austria's natural desire to safeguard her interests and prestige from the growing influence of Siavdom her immediate object being to compel Russia to disavow Seryia in the matter of an Adriatic port.
 It is pointed out that while making due allowance for legitimate measures of self defense on the part of the cabinet at Vienna, Russia is bound also to safe guard her own interests and prestige. It IS further urged that Russia cannot dis ayow what she never claimed and that she had already done her utmost to re- strain the Servians
 In St. Petersburg the opinion is held that no irreconcilable difference remains between the minimum that the Servians demand and the maximum which Austria is prepared to concede, and that a great power like Russia cannot give such pledges as Austrian diplomacy expects. Nor is it for a moment believed in off cial quarters here that Austria will re- sort to war to enforce such pretensions.
