Symptoms Mean What ?

(From Health Record }


A general failure Of the vital or
Kidneys. heart, etc., to perform
to the full extent their normal
duties is responsible for many
symptoms, often classed as dis
eases" by the unlearned. How
ever, such symptoms, are, not to
be regarded lightly, for they are
the forerunners of diseases and
premature decline. These symp-
toms are in the nature of warn
ings of the approach of low vi
and all the more or less dreaded
ailments to which mankind is
heir.
The faithful use of the pre-
scription given below will so es-
tablish the normal natural func-
tions of the various organs of the
body as to cause to disappear all
of the following symptoms: De-
spondency, fatigue, dull, sunken
eyes, cold eXtremities, pains in
sand small Of back; pains In back Of
weakness in spine, twitching and
trembling, impaired memory, loss
of appetite, wasting to thinness
Cor overfat), shrunken, flabby
flesh. premature wrinkles, dull
Irregularities, irritability and
general breakdown of ambitious
spirit and manliness.

three ounces syrup sarsaparilla

and one ounce tincture cadomene
compound (not cardomom). Mix
all in six or eight ounce bottle,
shake we'll and take one tea
spoonful after each meal and
one when retiring, followed by a
drink of water.
By mixing it at home no man
need be the wiser as to another's
shortcomings, and expensive fees
are avoided.
Lack of poise and equilibrium

vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
of the United States from payment of
tolls and to urge upon you the justice,
the wisdom and the large policy of
such repeal with the utmost earnest
ness of which l am capable.
Mistaken Economic Policy
I'm my own Judgment. very fully
considered and maturely formed, that
exemption constitutes mistaken eco
nomic policy from every point of
view, and is, moreover, in plain con-
travention of the treaty with Great
Britain concerning the canal conclud-
ed on November Is, 1901. But have
not come to you to urge my personal
views. I have come to state to you a
fact and situation. Whatever may
be our own differences of opinion con-
corning this much debated measure.
its meaning Is not debated outside the
United States. Everywhere else the
language of the treaty Is given but one
Interpretation, and that Interpretation
precludes the exemption / am asking
you to repeal. We consented to the
treaty; its language we accepted, If we
Gid not originate 1t: and we are too
big and too powerful, too self-respect-
ing a nation to interpret with too
strained or refined a reading of words
of our own promises just because we
have power enough to give us leave
to read them as we please. The large
thing to do is the only thing we can
afford to do, a voluntary withdrawal
from a position everywhere questioned
and misunderstood. We ought to re-
verse our action without raising the
question whether we were right or
wrong, and so once more deserve our
reputation for generosity and the re-
demption of every obligation without
bubble of hesitation.
Il ask this of you in support Of
the foreign policy OF the administra.

to carry their cotton until there was
active trading again they would not
be compelled to make an early sacri-
flee.
1t happened that Germany was
landing cotton in her own markets,
that American spinners were buying
supplies for the present and the fu-
ture, and that the New York Cotton
Exchange, and with it all the other
exchanges, began to do business nor
mally and cheerfully before the cot
ton pool fund was subscribed.
The reason for the pool, therefore,
has in a measure ceased to exist;
but it was of great value in putting
heart into the planters when they
were on the verge of despair, and it
still may be of use to those that do
not wish to sell their cotton now.

SHOP EARLY.

Once a year at least it happens
that to each of US comes the oppor-
tunity to do kindness to our fellow
beings.
The Christmas shopping season is
filled with so much joy of anticipa-
ton for the most of us that we
forget that for others it may, be-
cause of our thoughtlessness, be a
period of unusual hardship and
WEAKNESS.
Many a tired body and aching head
results from the rush and stress of
demands made during the last few
days preceding Christmas. And there
is nothing gained. There is less to
choose from, there is nothing to be
gained in price by putting off buy
ing until the last crowded moment.
"Shop early" is a slogan that
means comfort and economy for both
buyer and seller, and above all it
means that we are giving thought,
which costs nothing, to those who
all the year through seek with serv-
ice and attention to merit our con-
sideration.
Shop early! 1t means much to
you, it means more to the hard work
ing employees of our merchants.

Austria's wounded soldiers need, but
that Austria has not for them.
There is no cotton in the country.
Tens of thousands of wounded men
are suffering, not a few dying, for
the want of so simple and COM
monplace a necessary of the hospl-
tai.
Meanwhile America has so much
cotton that the very plethora Of it
causes a business crisis in a great
section of the land. A parcel post
stamp will carry to "The Red Cross,
Vienna, Austria" an amount Of cot
ton that may mean comfort, per-
haps life, to a wounded soldier; even
to several of them. While we are
commencing the program of "Buy
a BALE" and then wondering what
on earth to do with the bale, why
not send it along to the people who
are suffering because they have no
cotton?
Queer world, this, especially in
war times! America suffers from
too much cotton; Austria, from
none! Common sense and the parcel
post ought to take bit Of the queer
ness out of it.

SENATOR NEWLANDS.

Quite without any partisan con-
sideration, the country and the city
Of Washington are entitled to con-
graduation on the announcement
that Senator Newlands of Nevada
has been reelected. The most re-
cent report indicates that he has a
plurality Of thirty-one votes, in a
race in which a Democrat, Repub-
hcan, and a Socialist almost equally
divided the total poll.
Senator Newlands has made the
very least State important in Con-
gress for good many years: He has
been, as no other man has been, the
prophet and seer of the Senate. His
visions Of a decade or two ago are
the laws or the legislative programs
of today. He is a real constructive
radical; a progressive unafraid of
progress. To the causes of national
reclamation, Of transportation con-
troll, Of financial reorganization, and
of many others, he has been a very
leading contributor Of useful, effec-
tive measures. He has been dis
tinctly a national legislator, seeing
the whole nation rather than the
local interests Of his community or
section; and it would have been a
real misfortune if he had been re-
tired.

MYRON T. HERRICK.

The whole State of Ohio, under the
leadership of the town of Cleve-
land, is preparing great reception
for Myron T. Herrick on HIS return
from France early in December. Mr..
and Mrs. Herrick have engaged pas
sage for their return, following his
REIMBURSEMENT of the duties of
American ambassador to France.
Mr.. Herrick has performed in the
last four months a task for Ameri-
cans in Europe, and another for war
ring states whose interests had been
committed to his hands in Paris, that
must entitle him to the enthusiastic
gratitude of his countrymen. He has
given the whole world a demonstra-
tion of the capacity of Amer
lean diplomats to do practical,
useful business in a business-like
way. The American diplomats
in Europe all confronted tre-
mendously difficult situations when
the war broke; but it belittles no 9TH
er mans work to say that the task
which fell to Ambassador Herrick's
part was the greatest of all, in both
sheer size and also in complexity.
During the period when the German
armies were advancing upon Paris
and when many people confidently
believed the city must fall, Mr.. Her
rick was the most important figure
in the capital, aside only from the
men who made up the French gov
eminent. He worked night and day,
employed his private resources in
many cases to aid unfortunates, or
ganized and managed a great ma
chine to care for an army of tourists.
He managed his great work so we'll
that he gave complete satisfaction to
all interests concerned, and he comes
home deserving all the recognition
that he can possibly be given. His
achievement entitled him to place
along with the great diplomatic rep
resentatives that served their nation
so well in the early years of the
country's struggle for existence.

Explains Feminist Movement.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
After reading NJ o. T.'s letter In your
paper. one can hardly fail to come to
the conclusion that the gentleman does
not understand the feminist movement.
Il seems almost impossible, and yet it
is a fact that there are some people who
have not yet learned that the doors OF
the professions are not open to women
on the same terms as to men, In every
occupation where women have tried 10
gain foothold, they have been met Dy
vigorous opposition, and even today. In
those industries where women are en-,
ployed, their wages are from rs per cent
to 80 per cent lower than that OF the
mon. In politics, the stronger sex still
refuses to allow them to participate in
the affairs Of government. In social NE.

THE CONSERVATIVE REF.
ERENDUM.

The Times referred recently to the
defeat, in Missouri, of a piece of
radical legislation, passed by the
State legislature, and thereafter SUBJ
mitted to the people under the ref
erendum. The people proved more
conservative than the legislature. -.
In that case the measure was full
crew law applicable to the railroads.
Like laws had been passed by the
legislatures of several other States,
and are still in effect; the other
States had no referendum statutes,
and could not therefore give the
people a chance to reverse the leg
islature.
One amusing consequence Of this
Missouri experience was that a large
number of highly conservative news
papers, which have for many years
been denouncing the initiative and
referendum as the last extreme of
radicalism, have suddenly "flopped."
They have come to realize that the
people are at bottom, and in mass,
conservative, not radical. Sections
of the people will be found radical
on particular subjects; the labor peo-
pie on labor subjects; the financial
interests on financial subjects; the
railroad owners and managers on
railroad and transportation topics;
and so on. But all the people will
not be found dangerously radical on
any subject.
Further illustration of this fact is
afforded by additional reports of the
referendum results in Western
States which have tho recourse to
popular verdict on legislation. The
California Outlook gives this sum-
mary of results of some of the ref
erendum votes:
The people are conservative. They
may vote for radical candidates and
they will. under leadership, approve Of
ercncc, without the support Of organ
lied government, the people vote with
cautious conservatism. And they re-
fuse to pass class legislation of any
sort. Witness the overwhelming de-
feat of the universal eight-hOur law in
California and everywhere II was pre-
Sented. In oregon, of twenty Eight
propositions. only five carried. This
is, to be sure. nothing aga nst direct
legislation. Most bills introduced in
State legislatures. or in Congress-, are
defeated. too. Arizona defeated an anti
blacklist law, and a law requiring 80
per cent of mine workers to be Amer
leans. Both were labor-class meas
ures, defeated by the vote Of all the
people. This is not to say that the
people may not have been mistaken, or
overcautious, as to one or the other
of these laws. The point is that If they
made a mistake. they made it on the
conservative side The referendum Is
the weapon Of conservatism. The ini-
tiative ,s the appeal of radicalism, but
the appeal Is usually vain. And the
best thing to do with radical propO-
stion is to give it Il fair chance. 1t Is
pretty sure to be defeated by the con-
servatism OF the people. and that sort
of a defeat leaves even the radicals
satisfied. For the deals believe i'm
government by the people, even when it
decides against them.
1t would be difficult to state the
whole case better than the California
paper sets it down. There are sor-
rows among some of the radicals in
Western States, over the defeat o1

their pet measures; but they can't
well protest very violently: they got
the decision which they wanted: the
decision of the people.
The people are not fools. They
know pretty well what they want.
All Of them know what all of them
want. They may not know what is
good for them at given time; they
may make mistakes. But when all
the people make a mistake, it is
surely their own affair. They will be
willing enough to rectify the mis-
take when assured of it. Meanwhile,
