Madam, you are little run down. You need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air, and advise you to dress in the coolest, most comfortable clothes nothing stiff or formal. :"
 When the lady got home, this is how she rendered to her husband the advice given to her by the doctor:

LIN HALLOW ZEN.

Hallowe' len, which is generally II 1- derstood to have originally had some religious significance, continues to be faithfully if not religiously observed as an occasion for various kinds of recreation ranging from tine masquerad- ing house party, where games and jokes create amusement. down through the mischievous pranks of the youngsters who throw vegetables on peoples front stoops, and the more reprehensiDle capers of smart young men who, are satisfied with nothing less than mali cious mischief and damage to prop rty, to the debauchery of the foul minded rowdies who scrawl obscene aflusions in chalk on sidewalks and walls.
 Last Sunday morning there was re- vealed in various places about town, convincing evidence that the Hal lowe'en spooks, hob.goolins. witches and hoodlums had been out the night before. Wagons were found in un- usual places; rubbish of various kinds Uttered the porches and front lawns; store signs had strayed away from their original moorings, show windows were adorned with either mean CIT meaningless inscriptions in WAX.
 The most disgusting evidence of hoodlumism, however, indicating the bent of mind in certain brilliant ele- ment of Young America, was in the nasty, vile, obscene words and phrases chalked on the sidewalks in big letters which could not escape the vision of your wives and daughters on their way to the two missionary church services where they were to hear about the un- fortunate dwellers ill benighted lands, who are not blessed, as we are, with the refining influences of Christian civilization.

RAILROAD FACILITIES.

In his splendid speech at the Windsor Business Mems Association banquet, Thursday evening, President Howard Elliott made reference to railroad facilities that is significant at this time, when the unprecedented freight conges- tion owing to inadequate facilities is a subject of universal comment, aud in- dicative of the tremendous amount of business being done over the railroads. President Elliott said:
 ''As q result of various causes,
 some of which may be named un- der the head of unwise laws. excess
 sive taxation, miscalculation as to
 the growth of the country and con-
 sequent lack of preparedness by the
 owners of railroad property, there
 are not facilities enough today in
 certain parts of the country to carry
 on it's great business; and yet some
 idea of the growth of railroad opera
 tions ill the 10 years between 1905
 and 1914 is shown by the increase
 in the number of locomotives. In
 1905, there were AS, 357 and in 1914
 64, 760. In 1905 there were 1,731,-
 499 freight cars and in 1914 3, ,325,-
 647 freight cars, and the carrying
 capacity of these cars had increased

The Way Germany Feels.

The first story of the edifice erected by Edward VII is in ruins. The first rat has left the sinking ship. Theo- phile Delcasse, the vicious drawf, who was mainly instrumental in towering the world with that monstrous cabal known victim to the Allies campaign of lies.
 What about the next story? Already the English Liberal press is wringing its hands in despair and crying: For the devils sake, don't attack Grey What shall we do without this brave champion ,"
 But this pillar, too, is cracking and swaying ominously. In any event Sir Edward Grey would need very strongly tinted blue spectacles to recognize the war and the world havoc he and Del casse created between them. Delcasse disappeared. not like the twilight; he sets, not silently like a star; he shrinks away betimeS, out of the debacle that he himself caused.
 But the day os reckoning is at hand. Not France alone but also yonder island a cross the channel curses. Its people, all mothers, all women who lost their sons, husbands or children, all who have been robbed of their fathers, will find Grey and root him out of the min isterial lair.
 Germany, however, will remain firm and stern when the viper Grey shall have followed in the wake of the Basque imp who cost us so dear. She shall present heavy bill to England and France. Simultaneously she will press instant payment Nachrichten.

 At last she traced it to some pall;d flowers in the great green and dark red vase. whose unwholesome beauty was that of plants whose roots have never been in good. sound soil. They looked to her much like lilies, whose pads had fioated on some dark and opalescent pool vscid with odors of the night She was still staring at these and sniffing their scent through widened nostrls when Mrs. Darnel knocked on the door and entered slowly She had changed her street gown for d negligee, which instantly caught the girls ap- preciative eye.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy for the Disease
 Has Been Found.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood and all druggists, gives quicker and moro lasting relief than other remedies cost ing many times as much.
 Rheuma gets at once into the blood and pur;fles it, allowing 1t to feed freely into the veins and arteries and passes the deadly poisonous secre- tions into the bowels and kidneys. from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what q reputable physician says about Rheuma: "I have made a most careful investigation of the form ula employed in the manufacture of Rheu1na, and I heartily recommend 2t as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- usn, gout, and complications arising from neglect of these diseases in their early stages. On the basis of the formula used alone, I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods gener- ally employed in the treatment of rheumatism. and altogether different in composition from the remedies us- uaIly prescribed
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence in trying Rheuma. It is so inexpensive you cannot afford to do without it.

 Nobody but a crazy man eyer put whiskey in burgoo. The kind that has been drunk all over Ken lucky. Indiana and Ohio, is made of vegetables and meat alone. If you want to make, say, a gallon of bur goo, take a gallon of water and put in a whole chicken and 8 beef shank cut up into small pieces. Except this cooking until the meat is we'll done Then put in four ears Of green corn. cut off the cob half a dozen toIna toes a dozen potatoes and three onions. all cut up VeTy fine.
