WHAT NEURASTHEN|A IS

Neurasthenia is a condition of ex-
haustion of the nervous system The
causes are varied. Continuous work,
mental or physical, without proper va
cation periods, without proper atten-
ton to diet and exercise, also worry
over the struggle for success, are the
most common causes. Excesses of al
most any kind may produce it. Some
diseases, like the grip, will cause neu-
rasthenia. So also will severe shock,
intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitive-
ness irritability, disposition to worry
over trifles, headache, possibly nau-
sea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring nonalco-
holic tonic. AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed toward build
ing up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anaemia.. or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenia patients, is also cor
rected by these tonic pills. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Two useful books Diseases of the
Nervous System" and What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by

The War Taxes.

Why should the Democrats in Congress be uu'
willing to put tax upon checks and similar COM
mercial instruments as means OF raising revenue
now that the war has cut down the returns lroln
the tariff on imports? That tax has generally been
employed in the past when extraordinary revenue
had to be raised 1t is readily collected IL Is paiu
without protest 1t interferes little or not at all
with business The revenue from 1t is large. we
cannot think Of any better means of raising part
Of the money which the government needs In TINS
emergency.
The other suggested taxes follow along the
usual lines Increased rates on beer and spirtuous
LIQUORS are easily collected, since the machinery
for their collection already exists These beverages
are Injuries and are proper subjects for increased
taxation The tax comes out Of the consumer VINO
gets a little less for his money and is none the
worse for that. There is a similar argument for
raising the tax on tobacco and only the preponder
ance Of Southern influence in the Democratic ma
jority rejecting the sentiment of tobacco growing
states will prevent the increase of this tax Some
of the other taxes proposed like the tax upon auto
mobiles may be expensive to collect, and there
seems to be little reason why they should be pre-
ferred to a tax upon checks whose collection Is
easy and whose incidence is wide
More welcome than the imposition Of new taxes,
however would be economy on the part Of Con
gress 1t is scandalous for Congress to take money
out Of the pockets Of the people to put it into the
pork barrel People will understand this graft
better when they see their money go straight from
their hands to be used in taking care of fences
in the Congressmen's districts. This is no time
for buying reflections with the publics money.
The war tax need not be so large if the pork bar
rel bills are cut down $2J,O000OO.

have to be quick change of scene from EsinOre

Why Not an Export Duty7

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In spite Of the fact that We
have in this country the greatest crops
of wheat, corn and oats ever oeioIe
recorded. prices are soaring sky nign
daily, and honest poor people are mace
to suffer while gangs of high-hands9,
scoundrels are permitted to control
every bushel Of grain and fix prices 70
suit themselves without having ever
seen kernel of il.
What is the remedy?
Why should not Congress put an eA-
port duty on every bushel Of gram 50
that our own people might have the
benefit Of the products Of their own
soil and not the few greedy money
grabbers who in such times as thea
are permitted to take the very oreSo

The Entente Tres Cordiale.

Thomas Atkins and the Piou-piOus have been fight

according to such letters and reports drift

From his red trousers all the way into his Gallo
heart and soul the French soldier is about as DIFF
ferent from the English as he could he made
Yet apparently each respects the other fight
ing machine and is glad to be on the same line Of
fire.
As for any intimacy resulting from the entente
cordialc, that has always held its doubts When
the first r. Atkins disembarked Oh French soil

There should be now about 100000 troops avail
able for use in the positions from which the French
face the Germans, in addition to the garrison of
Paris, and a separate force west.northwest Of the
capital. The allied losses in the campaign so far
probably exceed 10000 Belgian losses excluded
But It is only reasonable to suppose that the Ger>
man losses have been fully as large. The allies
have fought we'll under discouragng circumstances
and there is abundant evidence that General
Johfrs is following an intelligent preconceiyed
plan Of campaign.
All that the allies can expect of France at this
juncture is a careful handling Of the French army
and the avoidance Of any signal disaster. The
signing on Saturday Of the agreement binding
France, Russia and Great Britain to act as a unit
to the end Of the struggle is but another indication
Of the determination Of all three nations to fight
at all costs to finish Time is on their side, and
any strategy will be adequate for the present
which holds of the German rush in the west aud
gives Great Britain and Russia the opportunity to
throw their vast latent resources into the scale.
