Approximately 5000 men are involv'

and the secretary of the navy and
state Adjutant General Moore, on one
side, and himself on the other, had
prompted him to take the step. The
differences, he said, resulted in seri.

Wilson Sticks to "Watchful Waiting"
President Wilson went to Indianap-
oils, where he made a notable speech,
in which he defended his administra-
ton and the policies that have been
followed by the administration and
the Democratic congress.
He praised the federal reserve law;
urged the enactme tnof the conserva-
tion bills; favored legislation to
create a federal employment bureau;
denounced what he designated as the
antiquated procedure of the federal
courts and urged a revision Of court
procedure.
The president came to Indianapolis
on the invitation of the Indiana Dem
ocratic club, and has speech was on
Jackson day.
There had been nationwide interest
in what the president might say in
his speech, for it had been thought
that he would discuss subjects Of ma
tion-wide, If not worldwide import
ance.
The president defended vigorously
his policy of watchful waiting In Mex
leo, and the crowd applauded him
more vigorously for his utterances
than on any other subject, except
when he made the remark:
"The time may come when the
American people will be called on to
Judge whether know what | am talk

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott Emulsion after meals. Thee cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott Emulsion is the
most tstrengtheningfo gfood-medicine known.
1t is totally free from alcohol or any
supplying drug. Avoid substitutes.

with pain.
