A Million Dollar Discovery

For half a century doctors and drug
gists have said: The man that can
take the grippe and nausea out of Po-
Dophyllin or May-Apple Root will

PoDoLax is a May-Apple Root for
mula. May-Apple grows wild and our
ancestors discovered that the root
would release bile that had become
clogged or damned up in the liver.
Encyclopedia Britannica says: "Po-
dophyllin-a popular remedy much
used by those averse to calomel and
mercurial preparations. Is sometimes
called Vegetable Mercury Is from
May-Apple Root"
1t is agreed that the Liver is a

FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 7. 1914.
THE DEATH OF MRS. WILSON.
LANES SMITH. JR.
FOUNDED MARCH /. 1882.

II was with profound emotion that the nation re-
ceived the news of the death of the esmable wife of
President Wilson after an illness that had been
watched with painful solicitude by the men and
women of the land Absorbing in interest is the
great war situation in Europe which vitality affects
American welfare the thought of the nation turned
TO the White House. where the first lady of the land
Was believed to be dying and many silent prayers
were offered up that she might be spared Her death,
SO sadly i'll timed so crushing in its sorrow to the
White House family and to the stricken President,
evokes nations sympathetic grief
Mrs Wilson was of the characters that
sweeten as well as ennoble American social life She
was of the type of American womanhood that is every
where held in honor and is the pride of this nation
From the refined quiet of her Princeton home she was
translated participation in the highest digntes at
Washington as supreme socially es the consort OF
monarch But she remained the same Mrs Wilson
of Princeton. New Jersey, the same whole-souled'
sympathetic and humane woman.
Mrs Wilson in the White House not dazzled
BY the glamour of her position. While maintaining
1t with the dignity inherent in her character she
turned her attention to the human conditions and
needs as they existed at the capital She personally
visited the Sums she there poverty, misery and
souaor and her heart went out to the slum popula-
ton 1t was through her influence that the bill to
eradicate these conditions introduced in Congress
And it is pathetic that her dying wish was for this
legislation and the immediate incentive to Con-
gress to enact the bill into law That act of Con
Eress will ever be a monument to the gentle woman
whose pure spirit passed away in the White House
yesterday.
In the retirement and quiet of Princeton Mrs
wilson's qualities known only to her friends and
relatives At the White House she became the cyno-
sure Of all eyes and her character was unfoded to the
nation Perhaps Mrs. Wilson was never conscious OF
the homage that she commanded from the men and
women of her country any more than she gave
thought to the sorrow nation when she should die

Both the United States and Mexico
are signatory powers to the "conven-
ton with respect to the laws and
customs of war on land" adopted at
The Hague in 1899, and therefore are
bound by its humane proclamations.
This convention promulgated a for
midable series of rules. The most i'm
portant restrictions which it imposes
upon those engaged in war are to
prohibit absolutely the following acts;
To employ poison or poisoned arms.
To kill or wound treacherously In
dividuals belonging to the hostile
nations or army.

having laid down arms. or having no
longer means of defense, has surren-
dered at discretion.

seizure be imperatively demanded by

A GREAT OCEAN COMMERCE. VANISHED.

Where are the argosies of commerce that letely
filed the seas entered and departed from every
seaport? Where is the great English commerce and
where the great German commerce, the pride and
glory of the two rival commercial nations? Where
the French? Where all the hundreds of English
and German and French ships that have been carry
ing American goods to Europe and European goods
to the United States?
When the European trumpets sounded this
vast commerce disappeared from the ocean. Sailing
ships hurried the shelter of ports and ships in
ports stayed there A few swft-sailing steamers still
seek the routes and take their chances. But
virtually the ocean commerce of the three great
maritime nations has vanished from the ocean.
And yet commerce must be carried on, if only to
supply Europe with food, and food must be got.
United States enterprise will take over many Eng
fish, German and French vessels, but Europe must
also provide ships and take the risks Great Britain
must insure her merchant steamers that carry food
and other necessaries, she is more dependent on
foreign supplies than the continental powers. The
ocean commerce must reappear to some extent
But what startling contrast within fortnight

Lord Lyndhurst, who died some
thing over thirty years ago, was a
Boston boy, whose father Copley, the
artist, took him to England when he
was two years old. Benjamin Thomp-
son, better known to the scientific
world as Count Rumford, was a ma
tive of Massachusetts, and taught
school for several years at Rumford,
near Concord, N. H. He was of such
service to the elector of Bavaria that
that ruler rewarded him with wealth
and title. In recent times there is
the case of Maxim, who received a
title at the hands of the British gov
eminent.
One American "ennoblement" pos
sessed distinctly romantic features.
Richard NJ. Jackson was the son of a
farmer near Steubenville, Ohio. At
one time this son was the vice-consul
Of the United States at Stuttgart. He
later became privy councillor to the
King of Wurttemberg The story of
his advancement reads almost like a
tale from the Arabian Nights
Young jackson, having a passion for
music, left an Ohio college for the
Conservatory of Music at Stuttgart.
He became an excellent pianist and a
good German scholar, but constant
practise upon the piano SO paralyzed
the nerves of his hands that he was
obliged to reIinquish the idea of a
musical career He secured employ
ment as clerk In the United States
consulate at Stuttgart, and SO eff
cient did he prove that, in time, he
was promoted to the position of vice
consul.

street Jackson would meet the King
Of Wurttemberg. He would raise his

1t is said that Joseph Pulitzer once
sent a present of two hundred fine
cigars to a steamship captain. In ex-
preston of his gratitude to the cap
tain for a soundless salute OF his
Yacht in passing-that Is, passing
without blowing his whistle This is
a striking example of the nervous,
almost insane horror which Pulitzer
had for noise. The majority regarded
pulitzer as a crank" nervous on the
verge of insanity, but 1t Is very prob
able that IL most persons had his
keen sense of the folly of abusing
sound society would be better off.
Where there LIS no hearing we have

sound. Hearing is necessary, as Is
sound, but oh, the burden of the mod
ern abuse of sound. Human beings
are the noisiest creatures on earth

the worst. The racket begins at day

ATTENTION DIVERTED FROM CONGRESS-

What Congress does or does not do commands
little popular attention and gets small mention

Importance to the American people, and they should
not be lost sight of. 1t is at time like this when

From the Bench and Bar:
There is perhaps no class of cases
in which the laws delay works more
hardship than in what may be termed
commercial cases." by which is
meant actions upon commercial paper
or for goods sold and delivered. In
either class of cases the security Is
apt to depreciate rapidly, and II the
obljgor is OF doubtful solvency, con-
siderable delay in obtaining Judgment
is very likely to have the result lhhe
the judgment, when obtained, Is al
most, If not quite, worthless.
with respect to commercial paper
The necessity that there should be a
speedy remedy in case of default Is
rendered even more pressing than 1t
formerly was by the provisions OF the
Federal reserve act under which COM
mercial paper may, be made the basis
of the issue of bank notes, for any
considerable delay in the COLLECTION
Of such paper destroys its value as a
basis of such issue, with consequent
detrimental effects upon the banking

1t is. therefore, apparent that II
there should be some forum where
there might be a speedy determine
fion of disputes arising IN connection
with the collection of negotiable IN
struments or accounts or invoices Tor
goods sold on credit, the effect upon

why Japan Is Proud.

Prof. J. Ingram Bryan, In Leslie's.
Nor is Japan at all ashamed of
being classed among Mongolians, a
race that has as great a history as
any nation of the west. Napoleon was
not greater soldier than Genghis
Khan, nor did he exercise rule over
greater empire. The Monaghan race
was using the mariners compass
when western nations were picking
their way along the coast by the
stars. They had printed books when
Europe was stepped in primeval ig-
norance and were wearing silks and
drinking tea from porcelain cups
naked or clad in skins, and for house.
hold utensils had but the crudest OF
vessels.
Japan is in no way ashamed of a
Monaghan ancestry. Whether she is
of such ancestry, however, is another
question. In any case discrimination
on the basis of race without consider
alton of individual merit is an in
justice unworthy of any civilized
nation. And so Japan asks only fol-
the same rights and privileges as
America already comedies to negroes
/ Turks, Red Indians and other races
of her population. Are not all the
rbest Americans at this moment rather
ashamed that highly civilized nation
like the Japanese should be put tc
the humiliation of having to make
formal request for the common rights
already conceded other aliens? The
dragging in of Mexico as a red her.

somewhat unfortunate, as the infer.
