Dedicated to the memory of Mrs
Jane Lemily, who died at North Ad.
ans, Mass, Jan. 90, 1914 at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. George w. Otis.
She was a former resident of Ben
nington where she has many friends.
Dearest Jane. so sweetly resting
On thy couch with flowers o'erspsead,
Thine the rest in quiet sleeping,
Ours the weeping DER the dead
Long the years, we've spent together,
Fierce the conflict we have passed.
But the journey now is over
And the end is reached at last
Not farewell word was spoken,
Not a falling tear was shed,
But like one who falls in Battle,
Thou vast numbered with the dead.
But we sorrow not as others,
We shall greet thee soon again.
In that Land of fadeless beauty,
Free from sorrow, sin and pain.

BRYAN NO TOURIST AGENT
Department Finds Some Passport
Applicants Unreasonable.

Washington. Jan. 2S-"The De
partment of State has troubles
enough already and cannot undertake
to act as tourist agency"
This formal declaration was con
tanned in an official statement issued
at the Department of State late this
afternoon in explanation of Secre-
tary Bryans recent order putting a
ban on the making of personal appli-
cations 70 the department for pass
ports
The statement was not issued over
Secretary Bryan's signature, but was
given out unofflcially. 1t is intended
to explain why Mr. Bryan issued his
passport modification order. The
statement says in part:
"The work of the Bureau OF Citizen
ship has been quadrupled since the
outbreak of the war; and, although
the clerical force has been considerab-
ly increased it has been necessary to
work night and day in order to at
tend to the great number OF cases
presented The work has been great
ly retarded by the necessity of TAX
ing passport applications and answer,
ing innumerable questions which
might be submitted more concisely i'll
writing
Frequently visitors at the bureau
ask many useless questions and make
demands which are unreasonable and
harassing Recently a lady came
from distant city to have her pass
port amended because of the fact
that it stated her age in years, but
did not state the extra months. She
spent two days in and about the bur
eau worrying over this matter and
wasting the time of some. of the
clerks
Yesterday a gentleman came from
Western city to apply for pass
port. and, when asked what countries
he expected to visit, so that his pass
port could be made out to conform
with the regulations he was unable
to say where he was going, although
he expected to start Immediately. He
said at first that he would like to 80
to India by way of England and
France, but. when informed that he
would probably experience difficulty
in entering india without Obtaining
special permission. he decided, after
considering the advantages of going
to China, Russia and other countries,
that he would limit his trip to Ber-
muda, the West Indies, and certain
Latin-American countries.

How To Be

stunt. while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get
fat until your digestive tract assimi-
lates the food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tihc discovery. it is now possible TO
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich. fat.laden blood This master
stroke of modern science is called
Tonoline and has been termed the
greatest OF fesh-builders. Tonoline
aims through it's regenerative, recon
structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements OF your food and
pass them into the blood. where they
are carried 10, every cell and tissue Of
your body. 9 You. can readily picture
the result when this amazing trans
formation has taken place and YOU
notice how your cheeks fill out, hoi
lows about your neck, shoulders and
bust disappear and you take on from
10 to 80 pounds of solid. healthy
flesh. Tonoline is absolutely harm

their consistency. Ninety days ago
they proclaimed opposition to con-
stitutional convention because the
ward bosses favored it; because the
New Orleans delegation was hand
picked by the ward bosses; and be-
cause ward boss aspired to be its
president. Now. they are shouting
for a candidate for governor bearing
the kosher mark Of the ward bosses,
with the prospect of accepting ward
boss candidates all the way down the
state ticket.
What politician said ninety days
ago was only words, as usual, but
what a newspaper said ninety days
ago is in the record. If they approve
the selection of the ward bosses now,
they confess that their outcry against
the powerful seventeen three months
ago was a sham, mere subterfuge,
a pretext to defeat the convention
for some hidden reason.
One hopes they enjoy their predic-
ament as much as the on1ookers do.

this expresses the depth Of the anti

Of vigorous action and stirr-
