An imitation of natures method of
restoring waste of tissue and impover.
ishment of the blood and nerve force
Is when you take an alternative extract
OF herbs and roots made with pure
glycerine, without the use of alcohol,
like Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
IN the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Pure blood is essential to good
health. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery not only cleanses the blood
of impurities, but it increases the
activity of the blood-making glands,
and enriches the body with an
abundant supply of pure, rich blood.
1t thus cures scrofula, eczema, erysip-
elias, boils, pimples and other eruptions
that mar and scar the skin.
Doctor Pierce's Iooo-page illustrated
book, "The Common Sense Medical
Adviser" in cloth covers, is sent free
on receipt of 3 dives { or stamps } to
pay cost of mailing only. Treats of
Physiology, Sex Problems, Hygiene,
Disease. Address DIR. Pierce's Inva1ids,
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y.
DR.. Perce's Pleasant Pellets are the
original little Liver Pills. These tiny,
sugar coated, anti-bilious granules-the
smallest and the easiest to take. One
little Pellet for a laxative - three for
a cathartic. Sick Headache, Bilious
Headache, Constipation, Indigestion,
Bilious Attacks, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels are
relieved and prevented

The Supply OF High Explosives.

The basis of certain high explosives
now in great military favor is two by
products OF coke - toluol and benzol.
They are produced only in the large by
product manufacturing plants; they
are not produced IN the ordinary beehive
coke oven. When the Germans seized
Belgium and northern France, important
coke-manufactu-ing establishments fell
into their hands. and they have therefore
been able largely to increase their output
of high explosives. France, on the con-
trary, was cut off from what Lad been iTs
chief source of supply. II has now only
two, or at most three, toluol and benzol-
producing plants. Russia has only one
Italy has none. England is well provided
with by-product coke e-manufacturing es-
adjustments; but labor troubles have kept
il from rendering as good service as il
might have done, and it has, in fact. not
been able to furnish sufficient high explo-
sives for its own troops. 1t is to America
that the allies have turned for the muni-
tions that they most need.
In the United States there are eighteen
big coke = manufacturing establishments
that yield as by-products toluol and ben
zol. Other plants will soon be set going;
but to build and equip by-product coke
plant takes virtually year, and mean
while the superiority of the Germans in
the matter of high explosives is pro-
nounced. The purchasing methods OF the
allies in this country, which have hitherto
been poorly organized and relatively in
effective, are now being reformed and
it is reasonable to expect that within the
next three months the allied armies will
be far better equipped than they have
ever been.

The House | Live In.

The house live in has grown old:
Some parts OF il are in decay;
The thatCh upon the roof. once brown,
Is now all turned TO very gray,
Light through The window-panes is dim,
So that cannot clearly see
The new ones have now outside

The grinders from the kitchen gone.

Some others that once put in
Are OF no service anyway.
The unseen noiseless engines beat
That has not ceased for eighty years,
Is still at work. but slower now
Its action TO my sense appears;
And the warm liquid that il sends
Through the old house 10 heat IFS walls
Grows cold as round about the place
Black winters whitening snowflake falls.
Though have had the house repaired,
Sometimes outside, and oft within,
Yet as the silent years roll on,
feel the walls are growing thin.
Twill grieve me much TO leave the place;
Each nook and corner revere;
Sweet. joyous days I've spent therein
Through many bright, glad, golden year.
To me IFS walls are sacred too;
Within them have suffered long:
But God has been my strength and stay :"
In weakness He has made me strong.
And He has come and ''supped with me,
And soothed my sorrow, eased my pain,
And made the place, like "Bethany's home,
Bright with restored life again.
Soon this old house shall be dissolved:
Not lost, but only laid away;
And shall then be taken home
In Fathers inner rooms to stay
Till the whole family shall meet
From every land beneath the sky,
And this irail house be built anew,
For me once more to occupy;
A tenant in changeleSs home
No windows dim, and no decay,
No sorrow. sickness, and no death,
For former things have passed away"

Mr.. Estabrook said a standing army
Of S150, 900, which would be a "skele-

in conjunction with a big navy. He
declared large standing army was
frequently menace to nation, but
that this was not the case with a

He urged that the seamen's Act
