Thin Blood and Dyspepsia

Thin blooded people generally have
stomach trouble. They seldom rec
ognize the fact that thin blood is the
cause of the indigestion, but it is.
Thin blood is one of the most COM
mon CAUSES of stomach trouble. 1t af-
fects the digestion at once. The glands
that furnish the digestive fluids are
diminished in their activity. the stom-
ach muscles are weakened and there
is a loss of nerve force. In this con-
dition nothing will more quickly re-
store appetite, digestion and normal
nutrition than good, rich. red blood
DIR. Williams Pink Pills act directly
on the blood, making it rich and red,
and the enriched blood strengthens
weak nerves. stimulates the tired
muscles and awakens to normal ac-
tivity the glands that supply the di-
gestive fluids The first sign of re-
turning health is an improved appe"
tite and soon the effect of these tonic
pills is evident throughout the system.
You find that what you eat does not
distress you and that you are strong
and vigorous instead of irritable and
listless You are now on the road to
health and care in the diet is all that
you need.

A FIRE INSURANCE WARNING
UNITED States Review

Omitted States Review
In view of the present abnormal
financial situation in this country in
cident upon the war in Europe, special
effort is being made by fire underwrit-
ers to arouse the public to the I'M
portance of exceptional care for the
prevention of fires. All reasonable
safeguarding in that direction is in
order, of course, even under normal
conditions, but at this particular time
1t is of the greatest public concern.
No man can foretell when the next
great conf1agration is to come and add
one more to the lurid catastrophes of
the past, but every underwater and
thoughtful observer we'll knows that 1t
may occur at any time.
If it should happen to come while
present conditions prevail, with the
stock exchanges closed and the money
market abnormally tight, the result to
the fire insurance companies would In
evitabIy be most serious, because in
order to pay their losses they would
be compelled to sell large amounts
of their securities at lamentable sac
rifices. which in all cases would add
heavily, and in some cases. perhaps
disastrously, to their aggregate money
losses.

BRUMBAUGH AND THE FARMERS

Doctor Brumbaugh tells the farm
ers that what we need is vocational
training" in our country schools.
Breaking that long word into small
bits, the doctor means that the coun-
try school shall teach the country
boy and girl the very things which
they should know to keep them on the
farm and to help them make the
farm both joy and a profit.
The doctor never made cleaner
bulls eye than that We can talk
back to the land" until we are blue
in the face. but nobody will go back
except under two conditions. to wit:
That the farm be made more
agreeable socially, and that it pro-
duce more cash. Boys and girls who
live in the country must be taught
how to raise an entirely new crop OF
joy and a bigger crop of dollars.
That knowledge will keep them or
the land and nothing else will do it.

No other State has more good home
markets for its farmers than Pennsyl-
Vanta. That means a short haul and
big price for produce.
Philadelphia reaches over the heads
of dozens of smaller towns tc a dis
tance of 275 miles for some of the
milk it drinks. 1t reaches still farther
for eggs and butter, and apples and
for a part of its bread.
With all its fine fields, it seems
ridiculous that anyone in Pennsyl-
vania should ever have to cross the
Atlantic to buy potatoes in ireland
They won't when the rural school has
made it's curriculum in agriculture as
good as its course in arithmetic, and
when boys are taught as much about
soil as they are now taught about the
rules of grammar.
Hence when Doctor Brumbaugh, ex.
cellent school man that he is, tells
men and women farmers that he
stands for system of schooling which
puts money into the pockets of every
farmer, he has come down to the sort
of brass tacks which country people
like to see driven home with sharI
blow.-"Girard" in Philadelphia Led,

THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS

reTS thrift taught in the schools :?
1t ought to he, but how?" This
4 is the response made to Presi-
dent S. w. Straus, who recon-
mends in a bulletin of the American
Society for Thrift that thrift he en-
phasized in the public schools in the
systematic activity and training of the
pupils.
With the opening of schools the
awakened public feeling in regard to
the imperative need for thrift teach
ing is expected to make the year of
1914-5 a decided improvement over
the past.
c. p. Briggs, principal of the high
school, answers at the request of
Mayor W. w. Bennett for the city of
Rockford. ILL.,. and at the same time
meets the argument that public
schools of to-day are undoing rather
than preparing their graduates for
their life work.
Three hundred pupils of his school
got out and hustled" during the past
summer vacation did all kinds of
clerking-and the aggregate of their
earnings was about S1O.50O.
One of the boys, who had three
years experience in the manual
training department at the high
school, earned $3.50 day. He started
work the day school was dismissed
and missed only one half day during
the summer. Several worked as chauf-
feurs and made about $40 and S12 a
week. One worked on a farm and re-
turned to school on the opening day
with $3.50. Many preferred to work
in the open, on advice of their foot
ball coach. Some, therefore, went
into partnership in truck gardening
and one was the proud possessor ot
$14s. earned in ten weeks.
Many of the girls also were busy

A PERFERVID APPEAL

HAT beacon of righteousness and
truth, Boss Mccormick Patriot,
n exudes counsel and inspiration
for the first voters in an appeal
to them to turn to the Democratic
party as the ark of safety, the sane
tuary of every good thing, including
an 'invincible" candidate for Gov
ernor.
The esteemed Patriot tells the
young men who will cast their first
votes in November. who want to start
right and to align themselves with
the forces that make for the better
ment of humanity" etc. etc. that the
Democratic party offers inducements
they can find nowhere else" Note
the kampaign kitty of $4,000 for in
stance. 1T is the party of accom-
plishment. the party that does things
for all the people" continues the or
gan Of the Invincible One. But the
word for" in this sentence should
read to- in the interest of accuracy
and exact truth. because what the
Democratic party under the present
dynasty has done To all the people is
quite some.
Further. we are assured in this same
editorial paroXysm that the Demo-
cratic party is now under the leader
ship Of men who have no superiors in
the world to-day" Shades of Jeffer-
son and Tilden and Cleveland and
Randall look down upon the leaders
of this day as they pass in review
Wilson. Bryan, Daniels. Redfield. Pal
mer. Accumulation upon them and
hang your diminished heads
Hear the esteemed Patriot further
declare in its own shrinking, modest
way
In the State its leaders are men
against whom the breath of scan
dal is impotent because they are
clean. They are the kind of men
who cannot help but appeal to
those who in the freshness of youth
seek leaders who are clean and
capable.
There you are-capable. invincible,
Napoleonic, and Waterloo just a few
weeks off.

NO PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES

palgn speeches this talL IN
questionably, as j says, his
place is in Washington during the
critical period through which the
country is at present passing.
The President is doubtless glad of
so good an excuse to remain off the
stump. In the light of his intention
to run for a second term, any cam
paigning he might do this Fall could
be nothing but disastrous. The DEM
ocratic party is headed toward defeat
stump in defense of its candidates he
would have to accept the decision of
the voters in November as a personal
rebuke.
The President very likely sees the
handwriting on the wall. Doubtless
he is beginning to understand that the
legislation he has been forcing through
is not so popular as he thought it was
and that the Underwood tariff is to
play a big part in the campaign. The
proposal to apologize TO Colombia and
pay her s25,0OO,000 has not set well
with the American people generally.
The breaking of platform pledges to
reward Democratic henchmen for po-
litical work is another thing that has
set the people back home thinking.
All this has caused heavy dis
affection in the Democratic ranks
Coupled with this, is the terrific Bull
Moose slump the country over. There
has not been primary, a bye-elec-
ton, or a registration that has not
shown that the Bull Moose party has
which gave the head of the Progress
sive party ticket 22s.S27 votes two
years ago. gave Garfield, the Progress
sive candidate for governor, only S.167
in the primaries the other day. This
| is less than one twenty-siXth of the
vote cast two years ago.
Democrats know that the Progress
sives are going back to the Republican
party They also know dsgruntled
Democrats are going to vote where
their votes will have the greatest
force. That means they will vote the
Republican ticket. So it is these facts
that have thrown such a scare into the
Democrats. It is "a condition, not a
theory" that confronts them.
Voters at large know by the feel of
things that there is trouble ahead for
the Democratic party. Democratic
ICongressmen themselves have this
"hunch,' but what makes it worse is
that they are now hearing from their
constituents who are writing letters
in no uncertain terms. To make il
still worse, the Democrats in Congress
have been doing little figuring on
what actually happened two years
ago. They know many Democrats
were elected to Congress wholly
through Republicans who voted with
the Bull Moose and also that many
other Democrats were elected by dis.
straight Democratic ticket 20 make
their protest more effective. But thi.
year the shoe is on the other foot.
Hence it is not to he wondered al
that President Wilson is well content tc
remain at his post and let the Demo
Gratis of the country get along withou
the personal aid he might have
been able to give them. Evidentl,
he wants to be as far removed as pos
sible from responsibility for the defea
that is in store for the party thi

NO PARADE TO-DAY

~ HERE was no Labor Day parade
in New York to-day. For the
i first time in years the ranks of
labor did not throng the streets
of the metropolis. Labor stayed at
home and devoted its parade money
to the relief of unemployed men and
their families.
In times past, in New York city.
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
tember. The parades have been spec
tacular. No money was spared in
making them a success. The horses
in the parade were union-shod and
the men union-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
were union-made uniforms and union
refreshments. So that the expense to
the union men for their Labor Day
parade. in one way or another, led to
an expenditure of a large sum of
money.
To-day the money must be saved
that starving ones may have bread.
How does this condition comport
with President Wilson'S assertion that
hard times are merely psychological" ?"
