The world is filed with men who
are nothing but parasites, they are
nonenities. they give nothing and
nothing can be taken from them.
This sort of man is always waiting
for something to turn up; he Is a
veritable Micawber. He believes as
other people believe and does as he
is told; he lacks originality, courage
and manliness. Men Of action have
no time for him and women despise
him; he is but driftwood on the great
ocean of time-but the man of action.
of purpose and of energy is the cruis-
er whose clean prov cleaves the wa.
tiers Of opposition.
If a man has action, courage and
energy he has not much to fear When
confronted with the question of the
future; for the world is full of oppor-
tunities awaiting the energetic hand
and man is full of possibilities!
And with thoughts as these before
us, may we be stirred up with high
hopes of living, to be brave men, and
worthy citizens; dear to friends and a
credit to the commonwealth.

Do YOU FEEL DEPRESSED?

The form Of influenza commonly called
stthe grip" is no respector OF persons.
Rich and poor alike suffer from it.
The duration of the acute stage OF the
grip is short, few days at most. With
out complications it is never fatal. What
makes the grip so dreaded is the miser-
able condition in which it leaves its VIC
tins after the cold and fever have run
their course. Some medical writer's re-
fer to this latter effect of the grip as q
form of neurasthenia.
Depression OF spirits, headache, thin
blood, deranged digestion, over-sensitive
nerves-these are the usual after-efects
OF the grip, and they will continue even
for months and years until the blood is
built up and made rich and red.
After an attack of the grip all the vital
powers of the body are at low ebb.
Building up the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills is the surest way to restore the
weakened body. They have a special
action on the nerves and every sufferer
from the lingering effects OF the grip
should give them q trial. Your own
druggist sells them.

cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the

Mr.. Bryan's Great Service.

Chicago Tribune: 1t is Mr.. Bryan's
misfortune to cause us to forget oc-
'casionally the greatest service he did
his country. 1t is his good fortune
that Mr.. Champ Clark occasionally re-
calls it, Thus is fair and equitable
balance maintained. Whenever Mr..
Clark reminds the country that he
has not forgiven Mr.. Bryan for what
happened at Baltimore in 1912 he also
reminds it that he might have been
president of the United States.
The bitter enmity which Mr.. Cla1 k
holds constantly and cherishes toward
our amiably parochial secretary OF
state is evidence of the service done
in preventing the nomination, and
thereby most likely the election, of Z
gentleman who in the white house in
these days of wrath might have been
a national catastrophe.
Our fate, embodied in this instance
in Mr. Bryan, averted the disaster. and
every time Mr. Clark makes his abld-
ing resentment known he revives the
recollection of Mr.. Bryan's most
valuable and patriotic work.
