This Is Certainly True.

A man is poor when he has lost
the confidence of friends, when
people nearest to him do not be.
lieve him, when his character is
honeycombed by deceit, punctured
by dishonesty; he is poor when he
makes money at the expense OF
his own character; when principle
does not stand out clear supreme
in his idea. When this is clouded
he is in danger of the worst kind
of poverty. To be in the poor
house isn't necessarily TO be poor.
If you have maintained your in
tegrity, if your character stands
square to the world, if you have
never bent the knee of principle to
avarice you are not poor, though
you may be compelled to beg for
bread. Springfield Herald.

Crops Not Affected By Moon.

Scientists are now convinced
that the moon has no more in
fuence on crops than it has upon
the temperature or the amount of
rain or the winds or any other
weather element. The growth of
plants depends upon the amount of
food in the soil and in the air that
is available for them and upon
temperature, light and moisture.
The moon obviously does not af-
feet the character of the soil in any
way, neither does it affect the
composition of the atmosphere.
The only remaining way in which
it could influence plant growth,
therefore, is by its light. Recent
experiments, however, show that
full daylight is about 60c, 900
times brighter than full moon
light. yet when plant gets 1-100th
part of normal daylight it thrives
little better than in absolute dark
ness. If 1-100th part of normal
daylight is thus too little to stimu-
late plant, it seems quite certain
that a 900, ,O0Oth part can have apy
effect at all. 1t is therefore a
mere waste of time to think about
the moon in connection with the
planting of crops. The moon,
say the scientists, has nothing
more to do with this than it has to
do with the building of fences, the
time for killing hogs, or any other
of the innumerable things over
which it was, once supposed to ex-
ert strong infiuence--News Let

BANKRUPT NERVES

Each of us has certain supply of
nervous energy. Every act, even
every thought, uses up some part of
this energy. During rest and sleep
the supply is increased by the blood
which gets the needed elements from
the air we breathe and the food we
eat.
Your nervous energy is like a bank
account. If you use 1t up faster than
you add to it you overdraw your ac-
count. Neurasthenia is the name
given to nervous bankruptcy. 1t means
that the power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up so that 1t
will increase the supply cf needed ele-
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the
blood the elements that the nerves
need. Many nervous disorders, some-
times chronic ones, have yielded to
this tonic treatment with Dr. Williams
Pink Pills when other methods failed
to give relief. They are certainly
worthy of a trial in every case of weak
nerves and thin blood.

Joseph Kalbfus of Harrisburg, secre-
tary of the State Game Commission
has started with Mrs. Kalbfus for the
P a n a m a P a ific Exposition.
He will be gone a month. He had
been attending the hunters and fish
ermen's convention at Conneaut Lake.
The sportsmen of Pennsylvania gave
DR.. Kalbfus a purse of $500 last week
in Harrisburg. He refused it at first,
but his friends insisted that he take it,
especially to finance his trip to San
Francisco, which he had been induced
to undergo only upon the solemn
promise by the Game Commission that
mot even a dicky bird should be al
lowed to be shot unlawfully'' during
his absence.
The sportsmen Of the State say that
Dr. Kalbfus is the man who brought
game back to Pennsylvania, for, while
the Game Commission has been gener-
ally composed of men who accepted
the office only for the good they could
do in the way of preserving game. Dr.
Kalbfus had the idea and it was his
recommendation for legislation to
protect game that the sportsmen con-
slider responsible for the return of the
deer, the wild turkey and the bear, the
increase of quail and ruffed grouse
and small game generally. AT the last
session of the legislature they could
have succeeded in putting through q
bill to give DIR. Kalbfus a salary OF
SIS, 900, payable from the hunters IL
cense fund, instead of $4,000, but Gov
ernor Martin G. Brumbaugh said he
would not approve of the bill, so the
salary still remains at the lower figure
Sportsmen were indignant and started
subscription to raise a secret FUND
for DR.. Kalbfus He was surprised
when the $500 was handed to him last
week.
DR.. Kalbfus was born in Pennsyl'
vania, but went West when he was 9
boy, and became a deputy sheriff at II
at Fort Collins. Col. He was a famous
rifle shot and was known as ANTELOPE

with the reception which the "old'
