WHAT YOUR NERVES NEED

Whatever medication, whatever re-
newed strength and vigor can be i'm
parted to the nerves must reach them
through the blood. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are nervine tonic but they act
on the nerves through the blood, en-
abling the blood to carry to the nerves
the elements needed TO build them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache and
a number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and are often entirely cor
rected in this way.
Ii you are nervous you can help your
self by refusing to worry, by taking
proper rest, sleep and vacations, by
avoiding excuses and by taking out-of-
door exercise. For medicine take DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the non-alcoholic
tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders who
have been taking treatment without

LEAPS FROM 10TH STORY.
Paul Smith of Chalmers Co. Was in State
of Nervous Collapse.

! New York, July l7.--Paul Smith, 80
vice president and general sales manager
of the Chalmers Motor company of De
troit, Mich, leaped from the window OF
his room on the 10th floor Of the Hote
Biltmore Saturday and was crushed tc
death in the street below. His physician
wife and friends attributed his act to a
complete nervous and mental collapse
following the successful completion of a
business deal in New York City said to
have involved S6000,000
Mr.. Smith came to New York Monday.
He complained to friends that he was i'll,
asserting that he did not think he ever
could recover. He sent telegram Fri
day to his wife urging her to join him
here. She arrived Saturday morning and
when she had turned her back for mo-
ment to arrange breakfast, which had
been served in their rooms, Mr.. Smith
disappeared through the window.
Mr. Smith was born in Vermont. He
was graduated from the University of
Illinois and practiced medicine a short
time. He once was a cowboy and worked
later in the stock yards at Kansas City.
He started in the automobile industry
as a factory hand in Detroit. He was
connected with the Studebaker. LozieT
Goodyear and Metzger companies before
going with the Chalmers concern two
years ago. He is said to have disposed
of 500. 100000 worth of automobiles in
one auction sale.

War Fever in South America.

War fever has broken out in South
America. Land is as usual, the bone of
contention. Peru and Venezuela are re-
ported to be in a secret alliance against
Colombia and Ecuador to seize the de-
bated territory.
Between a patch of bright light and
a patch of deep darkness is shadowy
region known as the penumbra. The
boundaries of South American states
include much territory which is penum-
bra, and it is this which causes the trou,
BILE, and which always has caused such
international quarrels as the South
American republic have had since they
wrested their independence from Spain.
When they have fought they have gen.
orally fought over uncertain line fences,
and, to do them justice, these fights have
been creditably infrequent in comparison
with those of more civilized" European
states.
A study of the histories OF Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay
and the other South American countries
shows that internal revolution has been
the rule and that international strife
has been the exception. Two notable
exceptions were the war between Argen.
tina and Brazil over Uruguay in lssa
and the clash of Chile with Peru and
Bolivia in 1879.
OF late, the South American revolu-
tions have revolved less giddily. due 10
doubt, in large part to the governmental
liability required by investors OF foreign
,apital.
Boundary disputes Of all causes ara
The ones which nations should take %
curt. They are peculiarly OF q nature
which calls for arbitration. And an add
ional reason now appears Tor our not 4
having taken hasty measures against ,
Mexico. thus making an enemy also Of .

propose mediation for Others must let

Cake Making.

All modern recipes call for level meas
urements. The rounding measure for dry
ingredients is too uncertain to use with
the uniform liquid measure. Use the
same size cup and spoon in measuring all
| ingredients.
The laborious way of Dreaming the
lard shortening and sugar is not neees-
sary. If the shortening is melted slowly
and mixed with the sugar it produces the
same results.
When using pure leaf lard for shorten
ing use one-third less than of ordinary
lard. When butterine is used the result
will be the same as with butter if little
less is used than is called for in butter.
Too much sugar makes the crust and
crumb sticky.
Too much shortening makes greasy
crust and crumb.
Too much egg makes crumb wet and
soggy.
Dry, crumbly crust is caused by too
much baking powder
Crust of good cake is light golden
brown ne-eighth to one-fourth thick
and tender.
Proper mixing insures uniform tex
ture.

As the jury trying Orpet retired tC

jury room instructions from the court
which attorneys for the defense believed
precuded any verdict other than acquit-
tai.
Nothing short of proof so clear and
convincing as to exclude any reasonable
hypothesis of innocence will satisfy a
lconviction. and without such proof the
! jury must find him not guilty Judge
Donnelly declared. "A mere possibility
/ is not sufficient
The court. however. added that the

whole, and that ii they firmly believed,
despite contradictory evidence, that Or
pet gave Marian Lambert cyanide OF po-
tassium. whether he on she brought il to

But ii YOU believe that the evidence
has shown Marian had the same oppor-

Orpet had OF giving it to her, your YER

At p. M. came word that verdict
had been reached Probably 80 persons
were still waiting for it. Orpet was
sent for in his cell and Judge Donnelly
was still at the courthouse. Three bal

But National House Gives
Up Struggle Because of
Heat
SURPRISE AT
HAY NOMINATION
Representative is w ell
Equipped for Claims
Bench

Washington, July l7.-Activity in Off.
cial circles here has been aimed chiefly at
trying to keep cool. With the summer
season at its very height and the heat
the most oppressive Of the season, gov
eminent men here have accomplished
very little. As usual il was almost dies
non at the White House Offices Saturday.
The president, however. gave Congress a
little surprise in sending TO the olpitol
the nomination OF Representative James
Hay to be judge OF the court OF claims.
| This is another instance where the presi-
dent shows his consideration for members
of the national House by naming one TO
desirable judicial position. Mr. Hay Is
an old timer in the House. where he has
served for several years as chairman OF
the important military affairs committee,
His long experience in the public service
equips him well for this iudgeship, which
is concerned largely with examining and
passing upon claims against the federal
government.
The House remained in session only an

but the Senate brlvcd the heat with a
long session over the naval appropria
tons bill some provisions of which he
attacks rs extravagant and unbusiness-
like. Several days will probably be re-
quired yet TO complete the bill 4 lively
debate is expected over the new construc-
ton program.
The subcommittee Of the finance com
mittee are jogging along with their as
signments on the revenue bill but il is
felt there is no particular hurry, as the
Senate needs time in which to dispose of
pending appropriation bills.
The state department is addressing it
self to adjusting the Mexican difficulties.
Assurances abound on every side that
speedy arrangement will be made, but |
the department none the less appears to
be making slow progress.
