WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

aThe nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin.
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfu1
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Enul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

evolved. my idea throughout" said
Mr.. Colcord, twas to apply outright
Christianity to the world situation-not
what is preached in churches, but Christ's
own outright idealism, SO far as we can
get it from His words. It's plain enough,
after all, for Christ's idealism was every

The Journal of Oct. 21st contained an
appreciative review of Lincoln Colcord's
poem, ''Vision of War;" from the Bos-
ton Transcript, and we have since re-
ceived copy of the book from The
Macmillan Company, Sc Fifth Avenue,
New York, N. Y, the publishers. We
can, Of course, add nothing to the Trans
cript's review, but the opening lines, in
which the author depicts his home town
and surroundings at night, will be appre-
ciated by many of our readers:
l went out into the night of quiet stars;
looked up at the wheeling heavens, at the
mysterious armament;
] thought of the awful dist noes out the g, of
the incredible magnitude of space and
silence and eternity,
thought of man, his life, his love, his dream;
I thought of his body, how it is born and
grows. and of his spirit that cannot b.
explained.
All about me slept the land in peace, and ma
ture slept in deep serenity;
An off shore wind had died at sunset, the bay
was calm and golden as twilight fell;
Not cloud broke the clear and tender blue of
the evening sky.
Then the quiet stars out, the air grew
cool with the breath of night;
A land breeze Hurried, waiting the odor of
damp woods and late hay fields;
A gentle breeze, that scarcely turned the
seeping leaves.

lights go out in houses as men and
women prepared for bed;
Safe and secure, the homes of my neighboIs

long time;
passed on into the country, crickets were
singing in the fields. freflies were glim-
mering in the pastures among low
growths of spruce and pine;

majestic apd silent heavens;
On the eastern horizon great bright star arose,

ness.
From this scene of peace and quiet
ness the poet turns to his theme "Vision
of War;"
Hour of the war
Now, now-and here-on this same earth, and
under the same sky!
Now!-Now!-The war!-The war!-The war!
The Bangor Commercial has published
an interview with Mr.. Colcord in which
he tells how the poem came to be writ
ten. and how, from what he intended
only as short poem, it grew as the
idea grew, until the Vision of War as il
stands today was the result. In its first
completed state the poem was double
its present length. Mr.. Colcord realized
that it was too long, and, aided by his
sister, began the work of cutting it down.
Much was rewritten, much was elimi
mated; gradually the finished WORK

The New York Tribune has been depicting
interpreted in terms of present-day currency
in politics. The first cartoon represented
George Washington refusing command of the
Continental army because he was "too proud
to fight" and other subjects are: Patrick
Henry delivering his famous speech: "Give
me liberty or give me strict accountability u;
Benjamin Franklin informing George III that
the Declaration of Independence was for
home consumption only; General Grant writ
ing his memorable dispatch: 81 intend to talk
it out on this line if it takes all summer"
Secretary Redfeld regards himself as having
partially squared his account with Mayor
Thompson of Chicago. During the investiga-
ton into the Eastland catastrophe Mayor
Thompson of Chicago asked President Wilson
to recall Secretary Redield. Since that time
inspectors of the department of commerce
have discovered that the city of Chicago was
operating makeshift motor boat in violation
of the navigation laws and ordered fine of
5000 for the offence. The city, at the Mayors
and the Secretary, with much glee, refused
the request. This is pretty small business for
a Cabinet officer But Redfield is pretty small
potatoes, anyway.
There never was an off year" in Indiana
like this one. The Republican State Committee
has been holding series of meetings in various
portions of the State and the attendance has
been such as to clog tabulating machine.
From ten to twenty thousand men have turned
out at Rushville, Noblesville, West Baden. In
dianapolis, East Chicago, Terre Haute and
other communities, and the enthusiasm dis
played has not been equalled since 1888. when
Benjamin Harrison first headed the Republican
ticket. In addition, series of dollar BAN
quets' has been held and at each there has
been an attendance which crowded the tables
and taxed the kitchens. Republican leaders
are more than pleased with these results, be-
cause, they say, the large crowds indicate the
intense interest that the people of the State
are taking in political matters even thus far
ahead OF the 1916 election. They contend that
it is sure indication that the Republicans are
alive and awake and ready for the coming
battle. In addition to the great crowds they
turn out for the meetings, another feature of
the situation that the leaders point out as an
of Republican optimism is the large
number of candidates for State nominations.
If there were no chance to win. there would be
no candidates, but there is contest on for
every Republican State nomination. There
are no contests for Democratic State nominal
tions.

The Railway Dining Cars.


Cost of Maintenance and Their Supplies.
To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: In look
ing over some figures that have been given
regarding the dining cars used upon the rail-
roads, it occurred to me it might be of interest
to the readers of The Journal to give them a
little idea of what the railroads are doing to
feed the great number of people who are now
pstronizing the various lines in this country,
and am enclosing you little story regarding
it.
You may already have some idea regarding
dining cars ard their cost of maintenance
but it is subject that has not been given
much publicity and will no doubt interest
many people who have not had the opportun-
ity of eating upon them.
Yours truly,

For the past week the defeat of the
Serbians has been predicted, as it was
regarded as impossible for the Allies to
come to their aid in time. Monday it
was announced that Bulgarian artillery
was Smelling the forts surrounding Nish,
which is the objective of the Austro-
German and Bulgarian drive in northern
Servia, and its possession would give the
Germans complete possession of the rail-
way through northeastern Servia from
Belgrade to Constantinople. Tuesday it
was reported that Austro- German forces
and the Bulgarians have all but crushed
Servian resistance in the northern half
of king Peters ravaged kingdom, but
the victories cost Field Marshal Won
for reinforcements. Russia is reported
to be preparing for an invasion Of Bull
garia, and the Bulgarians IRE hard
beset by the French forces in the south.
Increasing rumors that Roumania will
enter the war on the side of the Allies.
Heavy fighting in the west and between
the Austrians and Italians, the latter
repulsing all attacks with heavy losses
to the enemy. The Russians are making
strong offensive moves.
In an article on "Vanished Pleasures, I"
in the Piscataquis Observer, Mr.. Liston
T. Evans speaks of throwing potato balls
from properly pointed and properly
timber stick" and of beechnutting, as
among the pleasures of childhood, and of
the disappearance of the potato balls,
and says he hasn't seen any children
beachnuttlng for years. He then recalls
another vanished pleasure-rolling truck
fully described in his article printed on
another page. AS one of the ''old boys"
we were familiar with potato ball throw
ing and beechnutting, but never heard of
trolling truck, which must have been
local sport. The only real game in boy
hood days the writer recalls is round ball.
Swimming, cunning and fishing were
practically the only other sports, the ac-
t1vities of the boys of those days taking
generally more practical turn, such as
gardening, poultry keeping, learning the
use of wood working tools, and construct
ing martin houses, skiffs, etc. The
writer made failure of the hen bust
ness, when he undertook it on a large
scale for those days-100 hers-but had
been successful with a flock of a dozen.
In gardening during which file of the
Maine Farmer from the first issue was
carefully read, year by year-and in
learning the use of tools, experience was
gained of more value in later years
than much of the education derived from
books, and we have since been an advo-
cate of a practical education and have
fully appreciated the good work the Uni
versity of Maine has done and is doing
for the boys and girls of the Pine Tree
State.
