HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS

Headache is never disease. 1t is
always symptom. Applications, pow
ders and tablets that drug the headache
into quietude are treating the symptoms,
not the disease, always useless proceed
ing and often harmful.
When headache is associated with some
dizziness it ia usually the result of ner-
yous exhaustion and will continue as long
as the person who is overworked allows
the debility to continue. 1t rapidly dis
appears when rest and the proper tonic
is taken.
Nervous exhaustion, the cause of such
headaches and dizziness, results from a
strain on the nerves with which the re-
building work of the blood is unable to
keep pace. The best tonic for such a
condition is DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
These pills build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves With this treat
ment, unless the overwork, worry, or
whatever has caused the nervous break
down, is persisted in, the headaches, diz-
ziness, nervousness and irritability that
characterize neurasthenia rapidly dis
appear.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y, will send fGe on re-
quest helpful little book on the home
treatment of nervous disorders. Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills are obtainable at any
drug store.

This prescription for the removal of

physician and is usually so successful in
removing freckles and giving a clear,
beautiful complexion that it is sold by
druggists under the guarantee to refund
the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under veil;
get an ounee'of othine and remove them.
Even the first few applications should
show wonderful improvement, some
of the lighter freckles vanishing en-
tirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee

WAR PRAYERS.

Comment is made upon the conflict
inf nature of "war prayers" German
and Austrian, English and French,
Russian and Serb are severaily pray
ing for victory over their enemies.
How, says an unbeliever, can man be-
lieve in an impartial God and pray to
Him thus? A humble but beautiful
illustration in answer to this can be
seen wherever quarreling children
gather about a tender mothers knee.
Each child contending has a different
need, a different point of view, and yet
the mother, who loves them, one and
all, says Eyes" to this one, and mo"
to that, maybe" to another, and
brings back peace and quiet again,
though no single one may have had
his wishes exactly gratifed.
How much more then is the all
seeing, all-knowing God able to adjust
the conflicting claims of His erring
children, giving to each what he needs
with love, with impartiality, with
wisdom?

AS TO CASTING BREAD.

Allusion has been made previously
to certain firms of national reputation,
that by going into the buy-a-bale move
ment, have sought to receive publicity,
through press notices, many times the
value of the small sum expended in
cotton. Now large firm in Virginia
is sending out night letters to the
Southern press, announcing it's large
donation to the cotton loan fund. The
company requests that all Southern
daily newspapers and farm-papers shall
copy the notice. Thus modern COM
mercial enterprise seeks to improve
upon the Scriptural admonition: Cast
thy bread upon the waters, for thou
shalt receive it after many days" In
eagerness to shorten the period of re-
turns, such givers take all the beauty
of charity from their benefactions,
making them merely matters of barter,
with instant demand for their guild
pro quo.

SEVEN YEARS HENCE.

Louisiana democrats can hardly be
divided, except perhaps among his
immediate supporters in the Third
District, in the contemptuous opinion
they hold concerning Congressman
Robert Broussard's inaction during the
late campaign. Though, as a rule, it
should not be expected that congress
men should leave their posts of
duty at Washington, there is, no doubt,
that this was an exceptional instance,
and none understood it better than
the congressman himself-hence his
selfish course. General reprobation is
rightly his, and it is to be hoped that
the proVerbial short memory of voters
will not protect him from retribution
when next he presents himself as a
candidate. But his six-year term as
senator does not begin till March 4,
1915, therefore there is long period
intervening before the democracy can
exercise a just revenge upon him:
nearly seven years in which to forget,
or in which some lucky chance may
serve to reinstate him as a popular
idol and conceal his feet of clay.
Such being the case, and irksome as
the chances and the waiting are, the
means suggested by the New Orleans
States, for more immediate vengeance,
will not appeal to the innately just.
Processing to speak for some most
excellent lawyers and politicians, the
States says that there is a way to
reach Mr.. Broussard before the fateful
year, 1921; that the recall can be ex-
erCised against him after he has held
the senatorship one year. 1t is posi-
bic that the letter of the newly-adopted
amendment to the state constitution
may seem to cover the case, but the
recall can certainly not be made retro
active, applying to what a man has
done before he goes into Office. The
heated brain of an exasperated party
might think it could, but not a court
sworn to administer justice according
to law.
The recall could only be exercised
against Senator Broussard concerning
something he does after 1915. If
crimes against party can be punished
under the recall amendment, then Mr..
Broussard-if his future be anything
like his past, in voting with his party
will surely give many new causes
for action
But the recall is meant for greater
derelictions of duty, and so it is likely
that Mr., Broussard must be left to the
lenient, because forgetful, voters of
seven years hence.

HONOR IGNORES DEFEAT.

1t braces ones belief in the native
honor of mankind to learn of the
recent noble act of a bankrupt In
1895, Col. B. w. Marston, on account
of losses from overflow and slumps in
cotton, made bankrupt settlement of
so cents on the dollar, his liabilities
being 100000. Col Marston insisted
on giving his notes for the remainder,
with the stipulation that they were
without legal value, but were evidence
of his intention some time to pay in
full.
In the eyes of the law Col. Marston
left that meeting owing nothing to any
man in the world He was free to
start again, and no creditor could claim
one penny of an old debt. No old debt
existed, except the moral debt which
Col. Marston did not believe man-made
laws could cancel. He went into poll
tics and served several terms in the
state legislature. Once he was candi-
date for governor, but was beaten.
Through it all he retained his planta-
tons.
Recently oil was discovered on his
land. Col. Marston is now paying his
old creditors the amounts due them,
aggregating $4,000, with or without
interest as demanded. Such instances
of honor and honesty are a glorious
inspiration to others. Col. Marston's
heirs may be the poorer by fifty thou
sand dollars, but the world is the
richer by the example of man whose
word was as good as anothers bond,
and whom neither need nor greed
could divert from a determination,
nursed through twenty years, to owe
no man anything.
