except that from the waters Of the
harbor led to this peculiar den.
Lying quietly moored to the rocky
piers lay three submarine boats. Fur

out, stood a little building, sort OF

supplies and ammunition; in fact, ev-

he stood Del Mar saluted, and the

TWENTY-EIGHTH EPISODE
THE GAVE IN THE CLIFF.

II was not long after the almost
miraculous escape of Elaine and my
self from the blowing up Of the bridge
on the shore road that Del Mar re-
turned from his mysterious mission
which had, apparently, taken him
actually down to the bottom OF the
sea
The panel in the wall OF his library
opened and in the still dripping sub
marine suit, holding under his arm
the weird helmet, Del Mar entered.
No sooner had he begun to remove
his wet diving suit than the man who
had signaled with the heliograph that
we had found Del Mars message from
below" whatever that might mean,
entered the house and was announced
by the valet.

WHAT NEURASTHENIA is

Neurasthenia is a condition of exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without proper vacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggle for
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also will a
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensltlveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
trifes, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one ofnutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring non-alcoholic
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation of
the diet have proved Of the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

vous System" and "Whatto Eat and How

Senator Spooner and State

Senator John G. Spooner recently
delivered an address, in New York n
defense of Wisconsin University. FRS
he spoke of it's past and then when he
came to the present movement to
change the form of government of the
institution he was opposed to the plan
He would not abolish the board of re-
gents, he would not remove the presi-
dent from the board of regents, and ne
would not increase the tuition fee of
nonresident students. He said friends of
the university should stand together as
opposed to the plan to establish a cent
trail board of education consisting OF
three salaried members, and others in
terested in education because the
salaried feature would throw it into the
hands of politicians. To remove the
president from the controlling influence
would take away his experience and
guiding help. To raise the tuition fee
of nonresident students would bring
but an insignificant sum to the schoo
and believed it were better to maintain
an open door policy. The cosmopolitan
effect was beneficial and believed the

In Milwaukee Mrs. A. G. Clas, wife
of the architect, we'll known in Sank
County. is chairman of the committee in
charge of the Tony Kopfhammer fund.
Much money has been raised for the boy
aged II, who lost both hands while in
the Milwaukee railroad yards. The
company may be sued for SIS, 900 dam
ages. Whether there is ground
for claim against the railroad
or not not l do not know says Mrs.
Clas. "But in the meantime the boy
must be cared for. I believe that if he
does not get enough out of the railroad
to care for him, this fund started in his
behalf should be used to aid some other
deserving and needy case.
There is need for an institution to aid
crippled children, some place where
they can be taught to care for them
selves and to remedy, 80 far as possible,
the defects caused by their injuries. -
Those interested in the case will set
forth that the cars were in the middle
| of public highway at the time of the
accident and that there was no repre-
sentative of the road present to warn
the boy of the danger.

TIE Vet and Dry Issue

In the states where vote was taken
on the liquor license, gains are indicat-

cities voted for license with a gain yet
others went just as much the other
way. From the fact that 80 many
placessvote each year indicates there is
interest in the issue. Illinois and
Michigan have made great gains this
year and the traffic is in danger of be-
ing wiped out by the ballot. Lancaster
in Grant county voted dry last year for
the first time in forty years and this
year the increase in dry votes was
more than doubled. The majority last
year was rs and this year 154. On &C.

Europe is receiving more attention than
ever before and the subject is up fol-

Methods Of Paying Wa
Expenses to tie Test

The theory as to the best method of
raising money for war expenditures is
widely different in England from that
in Germany. In England there is a
tax on many commodities or some
phase of business, the money so de-
rived being used to carry on the war.
Ever since the days of Adam Smith it
has been believed in England that the
generation waging the war should pay
what it could in liquidating the bills.
Why Germany, unlike England, is not
resorting to heavy war taxes was ex-
planned in the Relchstag in Berlin re-
Gently. The speaker said that Ger
many would not increase taxes because
the added revenue would be 30 slight as
to be of little consequence and he ex-
pressed the opinion that the system in
England was following an old tradition.
The speaker in the Reichstag held to
the hope that Germany might be able
to present the bill to her enemies, as
was done at the close of the war with
France in 1871. At that time Germany
collected from the French government
billion dollars, a thing unparalleled.
At the close of the present war if Ger
many should fail to obtain a huge
indemnity there may result some finan-
cial disorders fnanceers assert. In
any event the two theories of raising
war revenues will be put to an historic
test.

Stanley T. Vaughn of Westfeld. During
the last winter these two students at
the University of Wisconsin have lived
in tent on the Univ ersity of Wiscon-

reduced the cost of board to a minimum.
Last year during the summer session
of the university there were number
of campers on the university grounds.
The two students utilized one of these
