Do You Need Building Up?

There are conditions of i'll health in
which no one particular organ appears
to be at fault, yet the patient is mis-
cradle and unable to pursue the ac-
tiVities of daily life with vigor and en-
joyment. Sometimes the cause is at
tributed to the imagination but the
patient knows that the debility is real.
The remedy evidently is medicine
that will benefit the whole system
rather than a part. The blood reach
es everywhere and an Improvement in
it's quality is quickly followed by an
Improvement in the whole organism.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
visible Improvement in the condition
of the blood. The microscope will
verify this improvement but the pa
tient can see it in the mirror as shown
by increased color in cheeks and lips
and added brightness of the eyes.
There will also be a new elasticity in
the step. These things record an i'm
proved tone in the body and if this
tonic treatment is persisted in for
reasonable length of time, depending
upon the degree of debility, the condi-
ton of i'll health will be removed.

LaCrippe
THE DEADLY WEAkENER.

La Grippe in itself is seldom fatal.
But the weakness, lassitude and loss of
appetite induced by it leaves the sys-
tenn easy prey to the ravages of other
ills.
IL. F." Atwood's Medicine is an
unfailng remedy for these dangerous
after effects. 1t tones up the entire
system, builds up the appetite and re-
stores strength.
Mrs. Coxford's letter tells the whole
story:
Carmel, Maine:
Il was very poorly after an attack
of La Grippe. A friend recommended
Il. F." Atwoods Medicine and l got
a bottle. 1t has done me lots of good.

What About the Dogs?

The latest thing in the way of apart
rnent houses to be planned in New
York is one where the tenants can
have as many children as they wish
but there must be no nurse maids to
look after them. Children instead
will be received in the model nursery
and kindergarten on the roof, and they
viii be taught and fed and cared for
by experts at a cost of so cents a day,
Including food. A day nursery and a
nj. . t nursery are included in the plans
for the youngest elements of apart
ment house jewellers, They will be in
charge of a trained nurse and assis-
tant-one TO every five tots. Play
time will be spent in a kindergarten
room and an open pergola whose spe-
cially made windows can be shut in
raw weather. Sand piles, swings, see
saws and gymnastic apparatus will be
there to delight the older children.
There will be kindergarten teacher
for every ten and a primary grade in
sttuctor for every twenty.

Vivid Picture of One Side of "War.

If you are in love with war or are
in favor of Starting something" in
Mexico or elsewhere, you might do
worse than read the following as an
| aid to revising your mental grasp of
things. sensational picture of what
it really means to be private soldier
in the American army during a cam
paign in the tropics-whether at
Tampa or at Vera Cruz-is given by
Will Lexington Comfort in his new
novel, "Midstream." AS a youngster,
Mr.. Comfort served an enlistment as a
private, and he thus pictures the life,
in pages which have been called the
best possible argument for immediate
peace with Mexico" Says Mr. Com
fort in "Midstream":
Army life in the main is hideously
slow-slow thoughts, slow actions
stupid words, everywhere the affront-
ing of decency, and the lording it of
pin head non-coms. / recall as from
another life, KS first sergeant dull
ruffian named O., and the little
officerman c., who held himself
a god compared with us, according to
his training.
THE days blackened with flies in
July; earth in the sinks was deep with
maggots: horses screamed at the
pickets the Sibley tents at night were
an inch deep with flies inside, cling
ing, crawling more tightly together.
The slap of the hand would loose a
thousand, but the mass eased over to
fill space. The morning sun dried the
reek of them on the canvas
1.-The cook house was in a cloud; men
tortured to madness fought with one
another in the mess-line. You could
not carry your meat from the bench to
the picketline without living flakes,
thick upon 1t; you could not fight them
from the morsel that you lifted to your
lips. Flies were there to rush into the
mouth with it; they were at your eyes
and nostril Innings. We sat down at
the heels of our mounts to eat, as
close as we could to the orbit of the
tortured beasts tail And the breed
ing sunlight came down like curse
Il have never heard. nor read, nor
seen since, anything like those days;
yet l relate but the shadow of the
memory. Shadow, that recalls the vul-
lures, forever circling above, their
shadows moving like ghosts across the
road"

Echoes and Icebergs.
Manchester union.l

tudHCISSltI u NUM-
An echo and prompt appreciation Of
it's significance by the master of
steamship saved a collision with an
iceberg off the banks of Newfound-
land last Tuesday. The British
freighter Isle of Null arrived at New
York from Lisbon last Sunday, and
Captain Weeks told at quarantine of
his adventure The captain said the
echo was clear and resonant and
sounded as if it came from an ice cliff
reaching away up in the black and
foggy atmosphere. The impression
of the skipper, after he had heard the
first prolonged blast, was that an
other steamship was heading in his di-
rection. He slowed down until he had
merely steerage way, and sounded a
blast of his whistle again. This time
the invisible wall sent the sound back
sooner than before. Captain Weeks
brought his ship to full stop, and, to
make sure that there was no steam
ship signaling him, whistled a sort of
drum beat tattoo. Echoes are proven
bially honest, and as this one repeated
the whistle faithfully, the captain
headed his vessel in an opposite di-
rection while the responses from the
berg grew softer and fainter and final
ly faded away entirely. Captain
Weeks says he is sure that he was
within few ship lengths of the ice
berg that sent him the echo which he
made prompt use of as a warning. A
less vigilant officer would quite likely
have sunk his ship.

Moral Obligation of the Movies.

The most popular form of amuse-
snent is readily understood by the peo-
pie of a city like Augusta. There is
no question anywhere of the su-
premacy of the movies, when num-
hers of those interested are consid-
cred. Millions daily patronize NOV

thinks the shocking features of the'
moving pictures are like throwing more
fuel upon fire already hard to con-
troll" and that some managers ought
to be brought to task bluntly for their
sins on this score" He objects to the
representation of train hold-ups. bank
burglares acts of pocket-picking,
counterfeiting, black hand tactics,
highway robberies and the white slave
traffic.
That such pictures have a bad eff
feet upon the young cannot be denied.
The imagination of today feeds will
ingly upon the suggestive and immoral.
If the moving picture is not con-
trolled by the conscience of the city,
and determined by good taste and re-
spectacle standards, its future is un
certain The world is full of beauty,
truth and inspiration, everyday life Is
not wanting in poetry and charm. Life
is crowded with human interest. The
moving picture may inspire. or degrade.
Indelible impressions are made upon
the waxlike minds of children. There
is a moral obligation to make these
impressions good, not bad.
The words of Detective Pinkerton
should have great weight with COM
munities, if not with moving picture
managers. Cities should see to it
that "rogues and rascals are not ex-
plotted as heroes and policemen de-
nicted as fools and crooks" says the

Outside of cities our whole country

That the immense fire waste is
largely preventable every one knows
A single roof, for example, may be so

hand over this banner to man who
