sick. The trouble seemed to be the
stomach and liver. She suffered
great pain. Was unable to get any
thing to help her. She was growing
weaker and weaker. She became
tired of life.
Somebody suggested that she write
to the Peruna CO. She did SO.
Through their advice she began to
use Peruna. In letter from her at
this time she says: Through the
use of Peruna I have regained my
health. I took only a bottle and a
half when I was able to sleep and
eat again and my nervousness disap-
peared." No wonder Mrs. Mueller
keeps Peruna in the house. Under
similar circumstances Peruna would
be in every house in the land.

drunkenness Is a Disease

The logical argument against the
commitment Of intoxicated persons to
penal institutions, addressed by Judge
Murray to the Legislative Committee
on Social Welfare, contained this pa
thetic paragraph:
The cold and heartless world hesitates
TO employ man who has been sent to
prison. His children go to school with
heads cast down, to have some thought
less creature remind them that their
father is jailbird. Think of the endless
misery that is brought on the heads of
the innocent women and children on ac-
count of a condition that is sanctioned
by the law
And all for what?
Drunkenness is disease and should
be treated as such in hospitals estab-
lished for that particular purpose
Throwing the victim into the COM
pany of thieves and blacklegs is not
cure.--Boston Globe.
And does the Globe think Massachu-
sets should take the license funds she
receives for propagating the dis
ease, with which to build hospitals for
its cure? Sort of putting the cart
before the horse in the processes of
correction" of an evil, isn't it?

President Hyde on Fraternities.

The latest public expression of Pres
ident Hyde of Bowdoin, should carry
comfort to many hearts. He said
"The remedy for the evils of irrespon-
sibIe fraternities is more fraternities
and more responsibility. Have enough
fraternities or clubs like them TO in
clude practically the entire student
body; publish their relative rank and
stimulate q wholesome rivalry in
scholarship, in character. in contri-
button to the social, artistic, athletic
and dramatic and literary life of the
institution admit freshmen early for
better or worse, and hold upper class
men to account for their influence over
them; weed out upper -classmen who
fail to realize this responsibility for
lower classmen in their group, and
thus fraternities become a mighty in
fiuence for the intellectual, social and
moral uplift of their members. far
more potent than any force presidents
and deans and faculties can bring to
bear"

That's the Purpose of Regulation"

That the consumption of spurious liq-
Tors should largely increase in the face
II prohibition agitation is perhaps less
.efnarkable than the increased consump-
ion of beer; nevertheless il is a note
worthy fact. Reference TO the report of

Will show what that 1l4,693.57S gallons of
iistilled spirits were consumed in 1869 in
he United States, whereas 140, ,2S9 424 gal
ems were consumed in 1913, an increase of
over 10000 This covers a period of
I've years past during which the prohibi-
ion propaganda has been more active
han ever. The past year shows an in
crease of 100000 gallons over the year

Second District Amusement.

The news from the Maine Second
congressional district is amusing.
Consideration of what the Lewiston
Journal is likely to do about it is also
amusing. If Dingley does not decide
to claim the whole business as a Pro-
gressive coup or Ell Jay finesse, he
win probably side with Dan Mack and
consign Harold Sewall to the Helgo-
monian Heifercats. The Lewiston Sun
summarizes the situation as follows:
There are all sorts Of political ru-
mors in the air as to the ways and
means now being devised by the
friends Of Mayor Hines to administer
the count to Congressman McGilli-
cuddy, whom they hold largely respon-
sible for the defeat of Mr.. Hines in
the recent election. They say they
mean business and that d. j. will find

The Radium Trust.

1t seems practically certain now that
the radium conservation bill, about
which there was so much to-do a
month or SO past, has permanently
died, so that the so-called "radium
trust" will continue to monopolize that
product. Meanwhile, all the radium
produced in this country is going
abroad. The price Of radium is now
$4,000 per gram. Director Holmes
of the Bureau of Mines, says that his
experts have found a way by which
the Government could cut this cost
$4,000. The private corporations
which are producing radium ore have
contracts with Germany and other
countries for all the radium they can
produce for many years to come, and
the representative of one concern told
the Senate committee that they could
increase their price to s250,000 gram
and still find aready foreign market.
Sometimes we wonder If radium can
not one day be applied to the human
disease that blinds men to the needs of
their fellows, that eats the vitality out
Of human love, and develops the cells
Of greed and lust.

"Waitins" for Britain?

Washington correspondents are send
ing ont encouraging reports that the
Mexican problem may be partly solved
through British assistance. One writ
er says:
The story is circulated here that Sir
Lionel Garden has promised the Pres
ident to force Huerta out, his success
or to be satisfactory to the United
States and promptly recognized by
both governments. Though this cannot
be verified, the whole situation has
been changed by the stupid blunders
of Carranza and Villa and official cir
cles recognize that American public
opinion will tolerate no further favor
itism toward them. England tired of
Huerta long ago. but could make no
suggestion while washington depend
ed on the bandit chiefs. She alone
has power to influence Huerta, and
the story from several sources that
he will resign to take command Of
the army is given some credence here,
Felix Diaz understands the situation
and is urging himself for provisional
president, but is receiving no eneour-
agement. Some such outcome as the
above is made the more likely now 1t
is clear that the rebel cause is un-
worthy and that the only structure
Of Government exists in Mexico City.
Critics of the Administration declare
President Wilson's position humiliat-
ing, as they say Great Britain is saw
ing him from the inevitable results
of his policy. His supporters declare
his only demand has been that Huer-
Ia retire, and this accomplished, his
policy has been vindicated.
BE that as it may. the administra-
tion still waits watchfully for some
one to oust Huerta and save the Am
eriean Presidents face. To down an
arbitrary dictator to seat a bandit is
grand policy when it has been "re-
deemed" by some other power-for SER
vices rendered.
