GRIP AND NEURASTHEN|A
There is a form OF neurasthenia that

There is form OF neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call 1t post
grippal'' neurasthenia. One OF the
foremost medical authorities OF New
York city in lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim OF
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed.
ftful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, non-alco-
holc tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in.
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get a box
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you a free
pamphlet, Building Up the Blood, .
which contains chapter on the grip.

One Lincoln Delegate Lett.

ONLY one man is still living who as
national delegate helped nominate Abb
raham Lincoln for President in 1860.
He is Colonel E. B. Sawyer OF Hyoe
Park, VT, and do not know If any
other person still living participated IN
an earlier national convention of any
party.

onel Sawyer, who was So years old this
month, that not all the political cranks
were born the day before yesterday.
Some Of the delegates in that first Lin
coin convention insisted upon having
the Decalogue made plank Of the Re-
publican party.
But" said the Green Mountain pa
triarch, latter hearing George William
Curtis's stirring appeal they changed
their minds"
Horace Greeley, the famous editor
proved a poor prophet on that occasion
He telegraphed his Tribune the night
preceding the convention, that Seward
would be nominated over Lincoln on
the first ballot.
Colonel Sawyer was much impress

Tho One Way Out.

President Wilson recently took the
members Of the Washington Press
Club into his confidence and informed
them that there were many hardships
connected with the Presidency. He
went so far as to say that at times he
contemplated purchasing set of false
whiskers in order that he might dis
guise himself and escape from the
public gaze.
the way did not make public the
Presidents remarks. On the contrary.
they treated them as confidential. But
Mr.. Wilson was himself so pleased
with his utterance that he furnished
given out at the White House.
If the Presidents words are to be ac-
for, 1t is indeed cruelty for President
Wilson to force DR.. Woodrow Wilson
10 endure dIOlHeI lSIHl III Tie w Iillc
House, or even to attempt it. Fortu-
nately, however, there is one way out.
The Democratic national platform, on
which DR.. Wilson stood when he
asked the American people for their
support, contains a plank declaring
that the Democratic party favors a
single Presidential term and urging
the adoption Of an amendment to the
Constitution making any President in
eligible for reelection. This plank
points the way for President Woodrow
Wilson to save DR.. Woodrow Wilson
from further suffering and, assuming
that for once that would not be pain
full. for keeping his word. Mr.. Wilson
should once more put himself squarely
on the platform Of his party and de-
cline to incur the remote risk of again
suffering the pangs of the Presidency.

The Philippines Bill.

. Tho House Of Representatives fit
tingly observed the 18th anniversary of
Dewey's victory at Manila Bay by re-
jecting the bill to "scuttle'' from the
jects Of legislation dear to the Wilson,
ian heart. The President had made
strenuous efforts to commit his party
. to policy of withdrawal from the
Philippines at a fixed date, a policy, it
may be remarked, which, like many
other policies the President has es-
poused, is at variance with the pledges
Of the Baltimore platform. The great
bulk Of the Democrats heard their
masters voice from the White House
and voted for the shameful proposal.
! But 30 members Of the majority party
who have not the fear of Woodrow
Wilson before their eyes refused to
Join in the surrender of our rights and
our duties and the measure was re-
jected upon every parliamentary turn.
1t is a good omen. The men who OPP
posed the Philippines bill are the same,
for the most part, as those who are
opposed to the shipping bill and to
others OF the unnecessary and I'M
called for measures which the Presi-
dent has written down as the pro-
gram for this session of Congress- The
success of the rebels on the Philippines
Il bill will embolden others on other mat
tiers. The strangle-hold which the
White House has had for so long upon
Congress appears at last to have been
broken. May day. 1895, ushered in one
new era for the United States. Per-
haps May day, 1916. ushered in another
for the national legislature.

The COMING Conflict

James A. Emery, counsel for the Ma
tional Metal Trades Association. has
not allowed our present champagne
prosperity to bedim his foresighted-
ness. At the closing session Of the an.
nual convention Of that body, he
warned his hearers that peace in Eu-
rope would be the signal for a fierce
economic struggle between the COM
mercial and industrial forces Of the
Old World and the New. Said he:
How shall we meet armies
transformed into industrial organi-
cations, unskilled labor raised to
the zenith of capacity, women
workers trained in large numbers
to special dexterity and excellence,
and management trained under the
pressure Of war and backed by q
people drilled in self-sacrifice and
self denial to exercise in the con-
test of peace the virtues they have
acquired in the discipline OF war!
Are we to meet this with high
wage costs, short hours. and low
efficiency, while they attack us
with low wage costs, long hours
and high efficiency"
We don't know about the low eff
cheney. but the low wage costs ant
short hours of the foreigners will b
met with adequate protection to Amer
lean industries and labor if the Repub.
licans are in power when the wal
closes.

The Minister who Feels
Well on Monday

With many ministers, Monday is an
"off day." Not in the way of doing
nothing, but in the sense of not feel
ing we'll. After the hard work of Sat-
urday and Sunday, comes the nervous
and physical reaction of Monday, with
that "all-in' feeling. This is a con-
dition many ministers would be glad
to be freed from. They can avoid it
by giving proper attention to diet, and
taking Il. F." Atwoods Medicine to
keep the bowels in order, the stomach
toned, the liver regulated, and the
head clear. This old home remedy
is so good that many ministers are
glad to recommend it, feeling that
they are passing along kindness in
so doing. We will send free sample
to any minister, upon request.

or write to-day for free sample.

How love happens, need we care?
Sweet May haunts the sunkist air!
How love happens. need we tell?
Love leads on adown the dell,
All young life and hope to follow
Over hill and through the hollow!
How love happens? Oh. it came
Yesterday and years agone,
Silvery dew and sapphire flame,
Dancing in a league of dawn.
Whist the gossamer skirts were spun
OF the silver of the sun;
Velvet shoon of violets made
For fairy feet in yonder glade!
How love happens? Out with that!
Who would know, when love itself
Has stuck red rose in it's hat
And around a violet smiles, the elf!
Just the heart knows, but it beats
With the honey of such sweets;
How could it tell. if it would
Take love, then, for bad or good.

National Guard on Strike.

According to information made pub
lie by the War Department, the Presi-
dents call for the mobilization of the
National Guard of Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico has resulted in failure.
So many members of the Guard have
refused to serve that. the War De-
partment officials say, it will require
months to mobilize any considerable
force of militia. OF the Second Regi-
ment of Texas, alone, 116 men have
refused to join the colors for service
along the boundary. 1t is further dis
closed that the Adjutant Generals of
these three States had ten days notice
of the Presidents purpose to call on
the National Guard to assist in patrol
ing the Mexican border, but notwith
standing that fact they have made
comparatively little progress and there
is no prospect Of these States turning
out anywhere near the paper strength
of their National Guard organizations,
or even anywhere near as many as
equipment has in the past been pro-
vided for by the Government. In the
estimation Of the War Department,
this experience has shown the folly Of
srelying on the National Guard as a
part of the nations first line of de-

rotary Garrison, and rejected by the
