YOUR kind OF HEADACHE

The headache which in addition to the
pain, gives the impression OF atight band
about the head, is caused by nervous ex-
haustion./ 1t is blessing in disguise be-
cause it gives warning that you are over
drawing your supply OF nervous energy;
Unless you stop the mental fatigue and
build up your nerves you will be fortu-
nate if you escape nervous breakdown,
some form of paralysis or other severe
nervous disorder.
Rest is, of course, desirable but not
always possible and liable to be deferred.
With sufficient rest the nerves will build
themselves UP. Failing in this, you need
something that will build them up and
sustain them while they are kept moder-
ately at work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are probably unequalled forthis purpose.
They build up the nerves in the only
possible way, by enriching the blood with
the elements thenerves need. The treat
ment is one of nutrition of the nerve
cells, requiring non-alcoholc tonic and
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have proved
useful in so many severe cases that every
sufferer is justified in giving them trial
for any form of nervous debility. They
contain no opiate or harmful drug.
A little book on Nervous Disorders will
be sent free on request by the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

WHAT TWO HENS EARN IN A
LIFETIME.

In the Poultry Raising Department of
the current issue Of Farm and Fireside,
B. F. W. Thorpe, associate editor of that
publication, writes a little article in
which he tells as follows what two hens
earn in the course of lifetime and what
they were worth when killed:
''The dual-purpose hen gives good
account of herself when she comes to
the block. Two Barred Rock hens re-

lively, when sold direct to the consumer
for "a cents pound.
Zone of these hens was two and one
third years old, and the other five and
one third years old when killed. The
younger hen laid 81 so worth of eggs Q8
dozen reckoned at Is centssa dozen) from
November 1912 to November 1918. The
older hen, during her last two years of
laying, produced 1881 worth of eggs
(33 Ia dozen at rs cents per dozen).
''The younger hen, after thorough
careful roasting, was said to be tender
and toothsome with flavor to match.
''1n addition to the returns obtained
above mentioned from these two hens
was fully pint of oil, in value equal tc

THE CHANCE OF OUR LIVES.

Farm and Fireside, the national farm
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
points out in its current issue exactly
how American business men can find
tremendous opportunity as a result of
the present war The facts are develop
ed in the course Of a conversation be-
tween Judson C. Weliver, Washington
correspondent of Farm and Firesde, and
Edwin F. Sweet, Assistant Secretary of
CONNER at Washington. In the follow
ing extract taken from this conversation
Mr.. Sweet points out in part the oppor-
tunities that are now ready to be seized
by American business men:
''In this discussion about Selling the
markets in South America, the Orient,
and other parts of the world now supplied
by Germany, they seem to lose sight of
the greatly increased home market we
have to fill before we can send things
away. The finest stroke American
business could perpetrate would be to
seize this home market, and seize it so
firmly that we could keep it in all the
future.
''For instance, take dyes, cotton, and
cotton cloths. 1t always seemed ridicu
lous to me that we raise most of the
worlds cotton and then ship to other
counties big bulk of what we raise, to
be manufactured. Even the part we
ourselves manufacture has to be finished
with foreign materials: the. Germans
provide US with nearly all the dyestuffs
we use.
$50 it appears that we raise the raw
cotton, send most Of it away to be
manufactured, and keep the remainder
to make up at home; and when it's woven
into cloth we finish it with Germany
dyes!
"There will be no German dyes for US
after a month or so; supplies on hand
will be exhausted. What are we to do
then?
"Why not make our own?
"No reason at all. There's no mys-
terry about them. We could make them;
only, like so many other things that We
ought to do, we've never bothered to do
it. Now we've got to, and we will. l
learn that interests are already organic
ing to take up the manufacture on big
scale.
THAT means capturing big home
market. 1t means that in future we
will make our own dyes, our cloth
industries will be more Independent be-
cause we make them, and we will have
this big businesSin our own hands instead
of having it make US tributary to Ger

THE DEMOCRATIC FAILURE.
Some Pertinent Comments Upon Chairman
Fitzgerald's "Horrible Mess"

Fitzgerald's Horrible Mess"
From the New York SUM-
The classic text of the Republicans ir
Congress in their sermons on the failure
OF the Democrats to keep their platform
vows of economy is Hon. J. j. Fitz
gerald's confession in April:
''In few months l shall be called upon,
in the discharge of my official duties, to
review the record that this Democratic
House shall have made in it's discharge
of the expenditures of the public money.
Whenever think of the horrible mess
shall be called upon to present to the
country in behalf of the Democratic
party am tempted to quit my place."
1t is no fault of Mr.. Fitzgerald that
he is now in this horrible mess. He
has tried to restrain the fury of his
party to spend instead of saving. AS a
result of that fury the appropria, ions
for 1915, leaving out the river and har-
Dor bill, which was storn of it's prepos-
ferrous extiavagances only by the tenac-
ity of Republican senator, are hun
dred millions in excess of those of 1918,
the last year of Republican extrava-
gance." AS for the ''abolition of use
less Offices" hear Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah:
when the administration came into
power there We're 1888 employed in the
Treasury Department at Washington.
Instead of reducing the number, this
Administration increased it to 3541. This
Administration found a field force under
the Secretary of the Treasury of 14O7
persons, mostly civil service employees.
A Democratic Congress removed these
positions from the classified service, de-
stroyed the merit system in the field
force to make place for Democratic
spoiIsmen and increased that field force
to 2085 persons. Instead of a reduction,
as promised. we find that in single year
there is an increase of 1896 officers and
agents iii single department of the
Government. Democratic economy in
this instance alone cost the taxpayers
81, ESQ, 900 annually.
"You absolutely failed to reduce the
number of officials, but, on the contrary,
you increased them all along the line. !"
What but certain defeat could the
Democratic party look for from the
voters this fall after such a cynical
breaking of its promise? Then the Eu-
ropean war famed up. New disasters
and new duties arose. A new perspec-
tive of the popular imagination was
created. The sense of partisanship was
dulled for time. Mr.. Wilson proved
himself nobly equal in most respects to a
most difficult situation. The representa-
tives of the United States abroad almost
redeemed the long ineptitude of the
State Department. If the Democratic
party is saved or respited on the Tues
day after the first Monday in November
it will owe its safety to the assassina-
ton of the heir to the Austrian throne.
Providence protects children. fools
and the Democratic party. lis that low
the proverb should read?

THE OLD MAN or THE MOUNTAINS.

Oh face against the sky
So strong, SO fine. SO high.
Symbolic of power unseen,
Mysterious. majestic and serene
Full many a saddened human face
Upturned to thine hath found new grace;
Full many a soul cast down by loss.
Found strength to lift again its cross.
Unmoved through centuries on high,
Oh steadfast face against the sky.
Thou hast withstood the tempest's shock.
The beating storms upon thy rock
The lightnings shaft thou has gazed on
And the scorching eye of the noontide sun,
Calm and inscrutable, even SO
Thou gazest down upon joy and woe.
And we who see the perfect grace
OF a soul revealed in a human face,
Shall we still doubt when we gaze on high
At that steadface face against the sky
That he who placed the emblem there
Hath that human soul in his tender care?
Nay. Through clouds and darkness and
tempests shock
He guards the soul as he guards the rock.

We always counted on the support OF
American opinion in the war THAT mas
been forced upon Us, says the Lono0n
Times. We counted upon 1t 80 sscufeiy
that we at first neglected means wnicn.
perhaps in prudence, we snouio nave
taken to secure it, but we have got II.
We counted Alright, and daily, as the war
develops the methods of Prusso- Herman
militarism, it rallies in growing strengtn
and volume to our side,
We are grateful. We prize ABOVE the
approval Of all other neutral nations tnat
of our klnsnen who share our ideals ana
speak our tongue. 1t was upon that
basis of common ideals and OF common
feelings that we built our trust. We
have not built our trust IN vain.
We knew that men bred under laws
and institutions which they have inherit
ed from their fathers and from ours. or
which they have evolved and modified
according to the principles that JOINT In
herltance consecrates and sanctlons,
could not differ from us in their Judg-
ment of the main issues now at stake.
They are plain questions of right and
wrong, good faith and perfidy, OF defense
of the weak and innocent against ty-
rannous aggressor, of liberty, democracy.
and elementary public right against the
narrow and arrogant creed OF an exclu-
slve and feudal militarism.
We felt assured that for people nur-
tured in the traditions of British thought
and British law there could be but one
answer to questions of the kind. They
had but to know the facts and we were
certain of the verdict.
American opinion has also gone straight
to the deeper issues Of the war. 1t sees,
with DIR. Elliot, that German militarism,
and all which it implies, are the root
causes of the conflict. 1t sees that the
flngerprint of the militarist IS stamped
upon Zabern. 1t sees that this militarist
code is direct negation of all civilization,
all progress, and all morality as the
world has hitherto understood them, and
it sees that only by their exterminatlon
can the ideals and principles which the
democracy of the United States, like the
democracy of England, reverence with
their whole strength, be preserved to
them and to mankind.
By awakening the American people to
that truth and to their own immense
moral interests in the result, the war has
aroused them for the first time in their
history to the consciousness that they
and ought not to feel Indifferent
TO the outcome of great European con-
Test. That, in the long run, may be not
the least important consequence OF the
struggle.
