ONLY A DAD.

Only dad, with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing the little of gold or fame
TO show how well he has played the game,
But glad in his heart that his rejoice
To see him come and hear his voice.
Only dad with brood of four
One of ten million men more,
Flooding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life
With never whimper of pain or hate
For the sake of those who at home await
Only dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely of the surging crowd,
Toing, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love Of them.
Only a dad but he gave his all
To smooth the way for his children small
Doing, with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him,
This is the line that for him pen,
Only dad, but the best of men.

The hor- rible headaches and nervousness are gone and 1 am reeling so much better in every way" Mrs. Martin, who was the next to testify, said:
 T have suffered a great deal from hard, driving pains in my head and had stomach trouble. l hardly ever have a pain now, the catarrh no longer troubles me and my appetite is much better.
 Mrs. Fink said:
 T was sick all last summer and I now feel better and stronger than in months. l no longer suffer from the headaches l had so much.
 Mrs. Wallis seemed to be especially delicate and had a very weak constitution and weak stomach. Mrs. Wallis said:
 Tn only one week after talk ing your medicine I bfgan to feel greatly improved. Ifeel very much strongef, enjoy my meals more and seem to rest better at mighty LeSpect to con- tinue taking lTanMc.'' \
 In referring to the above state ments, Mir. G. F. Willis, who is now personally directing the introduction of Tanlac through out the South, said:
 T consider the statements of these old ladies the most re- markable that have ever come under my observation. I do not hesitate to say that 1 believe these inducements to be the strongest that have ever been received by proprietary medi- cine of any character. 7
 Quoting from one of Mir. Coop er's lectures, Mr.. Willis said:
 When people grow to ripe old age their digestive organs lack vitality, and begin to act more slowly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation becomes poor, the blood gets thin. the appetite fails and the digestion is weak.
 ''Tanlac, the powerful recon structive tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks, because it greatest a good healthy appetite, strengthens digestion, enriches the blood and in this natural manner builds up, strengthens and invigorates feeble, rundown, nervous people, and is an un- failing source of comfort to the aged and infrm."
 Tanlac is sold in Brinkley ex- clusiyely by M. B. Converse; in Clarendon by w. E. Everett; in Holly Grove by the Holly Grove Drug Co.,; in Hunter by Hunter Drug & Mercantile Co.,; and in Zent by P. R. Anderson.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLA

Dr1de fingered tor a last farewell.
Inc suduen turn OF their fortunes
was scarcely discussed by the Mel
nix family. Mrs. Melnlk knowing
the temper OF her husband, des-
patched a brief reply, IN which sne
asked no questions, made no re-
proaches, but stated that she would
need only tour tickets since Sara
had married, the twins had died, and
Mary and Bluma could both go on
one ticket. She would be ready to
leave as soon as she received the
money and the tickets.
The four weeks following the des
patching Of that letter were weeks
OF intense excitement. The Melniks
were now looked upon with mingled
feelings by the neighbors. Some
pitied Mrs. Melnik tor going to
strange land to an uncertain and
unstable husband others, unthinA
ingly envied her good fortune.
Bluma wondered about the people
in America. Somehow they seemed
to her wonderful beings. Her mag
ination leaped to the wonders Of
New York as depicted in a stray
Russian magazine. 1t must be like
a magic city with its great sky
scrapers, interminable bridges, and
lofty stations. She had shown this
treasure to Ysrael and had chal-
lenged him to prove that the Tower
of Babel was bigger than some of
those of New York. 1t seemed to
her that they might push the stars
out of their path. She pitied Ysrael
for not being able to come along.
But she was sure to send for him
soon, because in America people
made piles of money. Even children
they say make more there than
grown people here. And when he
would come, she would take him to
an American doctor who would
straighten his crooked back. You
couldn't expect anything from these
here, but the American doctors, they
can do wonders. Poor Bluma! She
had recokned without consulting
the immigration authorities. With
the blessed illusions of youth, she
pictured America as a Land of Per-
petual Happiness.
Past Philipova, across the Russo
German border, into Rotterdam,
Bremen, Hamburg all were be-

ing to come and bring them to
America, where he had a fine bust
ness and could fix her nice home.
1t was peremptory letter demand
ing an immediate reply The in
laws were appraised of the news and
were sufficiently impressed. It
spread like lightning through Male
Ratzek.
"Did you hear of it? Schmuel Mel
mix has sent for his wife. Gods
wonders will never cease. But then,
you never could tell what Shmuel
Melnik was going to do next"
So it was twice blessed occasion
for the Melniks. The evening drew
nigh and the guests began to gather.
In came the mothers in their ancient
fnery, with the children tagging at
their skirts; in came the fiddlers
with Batchen (the official master of
ceremonies, tear drawer, frown Grad
icator, at the wedding feast) with
the yellow pipe in his mouth, wide
spreading beard and double chin
adjoining broad, jolly face; in came
the Shamos with the velvet topped
canopy; in came crowd of urchins
shouting and hallooing; in came all
who could possibly come, filling
every nook and Granny of the Melnik
mansion.
The fddlers struck up tune and
the crowd pressed itself against the
walls of the bare room. The BRIDE
groom tipped the head fiddler and
started off on the polka with
the blushing bride. Only those who
paid three kopeks to the fddlers
were allowed on the floor. Bluma
stood aloof from the motley crowd
a striking little figure with an TN
common air of distinction about her.
Her brown hair hung in curls about
her finely chiseled, delicately flushed
face with unusually large, starry
gray eyes that looked almost black

lights.
look at her! One would think
she was princess from the way she
holds herself. Such a child She
made that dress all herselfw were
the comments that passed all around
the room.
Bluma was not long in standing
there by herself; for she came to be
in great demand by dancers young
and old. Though she pretended in
difference, she was nevertheless
thrilled at finding herself queen
even among paupers. Like butter

BOW to
RGCbarGe
Your Battery

Did 1t ever occur to you that rest Is
ar, antidote for more things than every
day physical weariness2 1t is one OF
the weapons with which n man or wo-
man may fight emotionar strains of any
kind. And the reason is an extremely
simple one. Let us resort TO the faith
full old device OF diagram.
In the center of the chart suppose
we put the word energy" That is the
thing that we have to work with in
this life. Now on one side let's write
q list of our expenditures-all the
things which call for an outlay of en-
ergy. In this list Is brain work, physi-
cal or manual work, emotion and di-
version. These are the things that we
spend our store of energy for. Every
day we spend ourselves either physical
ly, or mentally, or emotionally, or in
some manner which may be combi-
nation of any of them and which con
stitutes our diversions.
So much for the expense account
What shall we put in list on the 9th
er side of the column that we might
call income? How, in other words, do
we accumulate energy?
Here are some of the ways: Food
Of course, and then rest" good air
and some of the other lesser ways
which are productive OF renewed
sense of energy, such as good groom
ing and inspiring associations.
And 1t is pretty true that you may
add to your bank account and thus off
set any sort of an expenditure witt
any sort of an income. That is, II We
are working hard and playing hard WI
need a little more fuel In the way o1
food to keep the supply of energy VI
to the standard. And so, too, littlt
added rest will Offset not only a physi
cal, but an emotional strain.
Sometimes sleep is a better antidot'
for suffering than diversion, because
diversion, after all, calls for an expend
iture of energy, while suffering or al
emotional strain of any sort has al
ready taken a pretty full toll of tn
supply on hand.
Study the chart, then, and learn no
only to spend wisely of the things tina
represent our outlay, but learn, too. t
collect generously from those commo
sources of supply which are open {
every one-fOod, fresh air and rest.

On Thursday evening the U. S. l.,

appreciative house. Lovers of fun
paid another high tribute to the lead
ership of Miss Cole and her very apt
associates in merry-making.
Mr.. Chubb and the eighth grade
quartet and orchestra furnished the
first part of the program each even
ing and delighted parents and friends.
The sum of more than 5000 was Sc
cured from these entertainments and

club of that ward, part to Mr.. Chubt

ENGLAND LASHED BY
IRISH oRAToRY

New York, March 4-The Anti-Eng-
land wing of the Irish race in Ameri-
ca is represented at national conven-
tion which opened here today, wherein
the various orators will give full vent
to their feelings in oratory, denunciat-
ing and predictions of day of reck-
oning when England's misdeeds will
bring about the downfall of her empire.
In the convention will be some of
the most prominent Irishmen in Amer
| ica, who are firm in the belief that the
| true sentiment of native Ireland is en-
tirely against England in the present
situation and is looking hopefully to-
ward the breakdown of British mis-
rule. The names of the big Irish-Ameri
can societies have been brought into
the project of denunciation, for the
convention call is signed by officers
of these societies.
Whether the representation vii
come up to expectations of those who
called the meeting seems doubtful
A "strafing" convention is not to the
taste of large portion of Irish-Ameri
cans, who, it is said, want Ireland

matter of justice and not as make

are endangered mutually

TO ISSUE TICKETS
For The Lecture To Be Given BY Or
William r. Peirce

Because of the wide spread interest
that has been aroused by the an
nouncement of the lecture by Presi-
dent Peirce of Kenyon College on ''If
Washington Were President" and be-
cause of the comparatively limited
seating capacity of the library, it has
been thought best to issue tickets for
the event.
Tickets will be reserved for the of
ficers of the City government and the
teachers of the city and parochial
schools, and those remaining will be
given out at the library some day next
week, probably on Friday. There will
be no charge for these tickets, but il
is hoped only those who feel certain
of being able to attend will ask fol
them, and not deprive others OF the
opportunity to listen to what promises
to be one of the most brilliant and in
teresting lectures given in Mount Yer
