why that kingdom should restrain it's forces until a more propitious time It has been strengthening it's fences and in that has received much hnan- cial assistance from the allies. That Bulgaria has been able to float large loan among the German and Austrian bankers denotes the feeling that is manifested between those countries and the activities of one Balkan state can be expected to offset the ether as long as they do not agree in their at titude upon the war.
 Between the large forces assembled in Hungary by the dual alliance and the possible preparations of Bulgaria at this time, Runania. being between the two fires may consider, and wisely SC, that the immediate present is not an suspicious time for jumping into the confagration.

THE LIBERTY BELL

The Liberty bell is too closely con nected with the early history of this country and in too fraiI a. state to be carried about from city to city wherever an exposition IS being held. If the bill was in perfect condition no better use could be made of it as 8 patriotic object lesson than to send it about the country to be viewed by thousands who might never be able to see it in any other way. Never has it made a trip however without being returned the worse for the experience. Cracked so badly that 1t cannot be repaired the preservation of this val uap1e relic is to be secured through proper protection.
 Whether the Philadelphia council will be moved by the petitions which have been sent from the coast and teeI that that section of the country is en- titled to have it on exhibition as much as any other remains to be seen. It can be fully understood that the peo- pie of the Pacific coast have q. keen interest in the possibility of favor able action and 1t must he agreed that the argument that where the mass of should go to the people carries much "S4544tr b4( IL ID iLIp+6 4L1pOILdl1L IliaL the bell should be kept in it's present state than to run the great risk of it's coming back q mass of junk
 The Journeys of the bell have been many, but each suggestion that there be another brings up such visions of disaster that the time is coming be- fore long when official action will put q, stop thereto. When that time does arrive 1t will end s lot of worry Cjr the part Of the city fathers of Phila- delphiaz but it should come before the bell makes that one trip too many.

genuine Berliner never sleeps. How
 ever this may be, there are always
 places for him to go in this city where
 theaters, concert halls, cabarets, dance
 halls, cafes and similar places are of
 luxurious growth
 Berlin is the heart of Europe. It
 is the great central metropolis of the
 mother continent, to which all roads lead In peace times, it is the core
 of all the city nerve -ganglia in Europe.
 When trade or tourist took the road
 between Paris and PetrogTad be-
 tween Hamburg and Rome, between
 Paris and Constantinople, between
 Antwerp and Vienna, between Stock
 holm and Paris, the way always led
 through Berlin. All day long and all
 puffed out of it's various stations at
 the rate of several every minute, speeding from the mighty heart of Eu-
 rope toward every compass point
 From the FTiederichstrasse station,
 alone, more than 700 trains were dis
 patched each day.
 Seat of the Imperial Court and Parliament, focal point of German
 science, art and general culture, home of German military art, financial cen ter of the Umpire, rich in manufac-
 lures, and one of Europe's greatest
 nrarts for international exchange,
 Berlin is place of international signi- ficance ranking with London
 Tn this city there is pleasure on every hand, and all ill-chance is elirn- mated by the government. A man l may not be robbed by cab drivers, hctels, shopheepers. or by his ser wants. He may not walk over rail- way tracks, and it is illegal for him to block the path of street traffic to his and it's detriment, in other words he is without the law when successfully ex- posing himself to the dangers of vehi- cular collision. 4 jealous system of laws and of police regulations are met at every turn for his protection. 'BerHn has a. Luna Park brought to the capital on the Spree by an .Alneri- can. The same lavish use of bright paints and brighter lights are found in it as characterize our original Luna Parks, but the shoot the shoots, l the scenic railways and So on have been modified by the police until not even a thrill remains, much less an 1 element of danger.
 "Unter den Linder CUnder the Lin l dens) Is the heart of Berlin. It is one ot the most impressive avenues in the world; and. only about 5-3 of a mile i'll length, it is one of the very widest streets to be found in any city (198 Geetl, and on it's sides are massed 1 two double lines of massive architec- ture. It IS a thoroughly CoSmopoIitan street, upon which every tongue is spoken, and where each human varia- ton may be seen.
 Berlin lies upon the languid little Sprec--a dull stream in the midst of q flat, melancholy sand waste. Though 1 very new In both it's Imperial and metropolitan dignities. the city is vet q place of wonderful libraries, muse
 uuls, art collections, and statuary. Its streets. squares, granite buildings and i parks are fllad with some of the sCulptor's and nOdeler's noDIest work. tor the most part these plastic works breath martial spirit

CIVIL SERVICE ELL

By the report upon the civil service bill 1t is made evident by the judiciary committee that 1t was not disposed to take the radical view which would wipe out the civil service law, but that it Ls desirous of removing the impractical features of the existing law and of do- ing so as the result of the experiences Of the past. It has been guided by q reasonable view Of the situation and demands.
 There has been little reason to be lieve that the report would recom- mend any sweeping changes such as would put the merit system on the shelf and that belief has been sus- tained. Among the improvements sug- gested there are several points on which the entire committee is .n ac- cord, including the increase Of the commission to five members, as re- vealed by the majority and minority reports.
 Heads of departments are given greater latitude in the making of ap- pointments or dismissaIs upon filing reasons with the commission and power similar to this is given also to the governor. who can act upon ap- pLcations made to him for exemptions from the provisions of the act.
 The majority report $ in accordance With what might be expected as the result of the operations of the exist ing law The aim is to correct the injustices and the handicaps which have been disclosed by experience and such it is believed will be carried cut through the adoption of the recom- mended changes which will. it is safe to assume, meet the approval of the legislature and governor

CARE OF THE INSANE.

There is no question but what the legislature in it's deliberations must give due consideration to it's duty to the insane. It has already provided two excellent institutions for their care and treatment and it has there by made 1t possible for many who were formerly placed in alnashouses without treatment to be admitted to institutions where everything possible can be done for their betterment, but # has not reached the stage where it can afford to slight this great work,
 4 large part of the requirements in the past several years has resulted from negligence in the distant past. Provisions did not keep pace with the increase in insanity and today there is no more room in the insane hospi- tals than can be utilized and pro- visions must be anticipated for the two years ahead. The necessity of treating such patients while there IS q possi bflity of a cure is the fact which cannot be lost sight of by the state and that cannot I5e done unless provision is made to give them hos pitaI accommodations. Mental illness deserves as much consideration as physical illness and in view of the steady increase therein the greater resistance that is made to it now the quicker will there be brought about an effective check.
 It cannot be overlooked that the state faces the policy of economy but it cannot be blinded to the dangers of failing to look after the necessary interests of the state. There are measures which can wait without harm, but there are other matters which cannot, and the proper pro vision fer the insane is one of them.

NO WONDER HE WORRIED

more he thought of Brac5zra.ke the more dangerous he Ioomed. Stupid of him not to have considered, this pos sibility. It just showed how egotistic q, man in love can be--to think mo- body stands 2 show but hfTnselfi
 What 1.-the good looking young man slumPd into a chair and stared un- seeingIy al the bookcase, his face sud denly haggard- What if Celia did like Brackralxo better than himself? What would he do then, how should he readjust his life? BracIIaks had money and looks and was q. jolly sorI of chap. What right had he, anyhow, to assume so jauntiIy that she was go- ing to say yes, when he asked her? F'eVerishly he jumped up and began hunting out gloves and hat He wanted to see Celia with his own eyes and reassure himself. Fool that he was not to have asked her long ago, and so done away with the Braczral1e danger!
 A paniclzy haste drove him on, out of his room and out Of the front door. He did not wait for a street car, as he was too nervous. He could not stand the strain and somehow he fell that if he were in motion he would reach Celia'S house more quickly. At a corner drug store he hesitated, won derlng if he had not better telephone her that he was coming. Then he redoubled his pace to make up for
 
 decision. It would be better perhaps just to drop in as usual and then act when propitious moment in the con Versation arrived. Certainly it would look solemn if he did such an unusual thing as to phone he was coming. She would wonder what it was all about and that would make the conversation strained, and he was nervous enough as 1t was! His hands were quite old.
 It was idiotic, he told himself as he tramped along. Nearly every evening for weeks he had been dropping in at Celia's and there was no reason for his acting as though this call was ex- traordinary. As for proposing to her well, she knew that he was going to- so what was the use of all this stage fright? Probably it would all come about very easily and be over before he knew it. Here was the house,
 The good looking young man walked straight by half q block before he could check his momentum. He came back more slowly, for he could not pitch into a parlor as precIpitately as that, of course. He walked by again just to get rid of the beating lump in his throat He could not ialnas zine why his heart thumped so A queer clarnr1ly sensation was overspreading him In 9 daze he walked stiffly up the steps and rang the bell His eyes glared at the pretty parlor maid in a curious and glassy way.
 Miss Celia isn't in," she told him in quite an ordinary tone of oice. She went to the theater with her brother % The good looking young man had walked five blocks before he came to. Ele paused and mopped his brow. Good Lord'" he uoaned nliSerabIy, I've got all this performance to go through with again! !''-Chicago News.

While all drug remedies for which there is q wide demand, most Of them are just pepsin pills which aids digestion Of the food tune. They have no curative or strengthening effect on the stomach at all and or course do uot reach or cure the cause. So the same people keep on coming here and buying and using them until they are real chronic dys peptics. w hen any one really asks my advice, swear by and recommeId or diEary blSuTat ed u2SueSia, W2lch doesn't digest the rood at all but acts as an antacId and sW eetenS the sour, 6ermenting contents of the stomach. rising, wind, bl0atinS, fuuneSS, etc, in just few minutes, and the stomach digeSts it's food without help or trOu- blc, which is .ue proper way

slDETRAcKrNe IMPORTANT BILLS

At the present time, with the ad- rninistration, more emphasis is being placed upon the passage of the ship purchase bill between now and the fourth of March than is being put upon the much more important appro- or1atioG7 bills that have to do with the running of the government.
 The irs3stence upon this uneconomic piece Of IeEisIstion has already short ened the time for a reasonable con- .sidsratjon of bills which should be first understood and then passed at this session Of congress, and is each day increasing the probability of an extra session, something which no one wants.
 Advanced as 2, political measure, without the prospect of being able to give any greater relief to the ship ping situation than Is already being done by private capital. it proposes to devote government funds to a. venture which ioristles with international com ohcations, which promises tc be a financial failure and which endeaTors 10 make the government do in the operation of ships what eZperienced ship owners know cannot be done uu- der our present laws namely, com . f'CNO VI -A-4 GAllAlSo ny L4Lo 1O4GLS-lL lIce5O and operating under foreign laws
 The abandonment Of the supply pills, even at a time when a deficit of good size is being faced, for the purpose Of forcing government owner ship upon the country is an indica- tion of the desperation of the party in power To them it is apparent the bill must go through this session if at all and as q result regular business must stand sidetrack q and wait, even though 1t becomes necessary to rush 1t through or even turn it over for another congress to do.

The Connecticut legislature has a. bill before it providing for the inflic- ton of q penalty for stealing physi- clans prescriptions for the purchase of drugs. This has been done and as a result people have been able to ob- tain drugs because druggists have been imposed upon by the fake pre- scriptions.

It should be possible, however, when an emergency arises. for a man to know where he can be sure of getting the necessary remedies or sick room sup plies at any hour of the night If the pharmacists of the city by mu- tual agreement will arrange to have say one drug store on each side of the Pequonnociz river remain open all night every night, they will meet a public need that is very widely felt and will do much to relieve unneces- sary suffering if not actually to save iUes-Bridgepo Standard.

The good looking young man with the broad shoulders found himself staring intently at himself in the mirror with unseeing eyes. His fingers which were supposedly engaged in the disposition of his necktie, were quite paraIyzed.
 He broke into a violent whistle to hide from himself the fact that he realized his own perturbation and hast fly finished the tie. AS he was fierce " brushing his hair his gaze fell upon the neckscarf. Vast disgust over spread his face
