Ineffective Ammunihop
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The total ammunition expended
so far by the Democratic campaigners
and the Democratic press consists OF
four shells, mono Of which has taken
effect;
1. Hughes threw OF the judicial err
mine" for the motley" Of politics.
The theory that man may degrade
himself by attaining the Presidency is
brand new, and copyrighted by the
Democrats. It Is put forward with
most insistency by those papers which
have been most inscriptions In attack
ing both tho Supreme Court and the
President when 1t happened to suit
their politics.)
2. Hughes would have been as weak
In the face Of critical problems as Will
son has been. "A purely fanciful hy-
pothesis, to support which it Is neces-
sary to damn Wilson,
8. Hughes is the German-American
candidate. This she'll. known as the
Norman Hapgood," exploded in the
face OF those who were firing IT,
4. Hughes would awe plunged the
country into war; vote for hughes
Ia vote for war. (Another unsup-
ported hypothesis, a fine flower OF the
IMAGINATION; to believe in this while
at the same time advancing arguments
No. 2 and No. Is feat that only a
Democratic newspaper can accomplish
Do not these arguments show more
plainly than anything else the poverty
- the Democrats in campaign ma
terial? Is there any doubt that II
any real flaws in Mr.. Hughes's career
could be found. the Democratic ad-
herents would hesitate to turn the
searchlight on them? ID W. t.

The Happiness Of the Fool
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos Of Pollyanna and the
glad feeling, We should read George
Borrow's "Lavengro," chapter XVIII,
page III; thus: Thou wouldst be joy
Gus, wouldst thou? then be a fool.
What great work was ever tho result
of joy. the puny one? Who have been
the wise ones. the mighty ones. the
conquering ones OF this earth? the
joyous? believe not. The fool is
happy, or comparatively so certainly
the least sorrowful, but he is still a
fool; and whose notes are sweetest,
those OF tho nightingale, or OF the
silly lark"

French Courage

A new and interesting little vol
ume of the war is handbook Of ad-
vice for the French infantryman,
"Conseils aux Fantassins pour la
Bataille," by Andre Laffargue, cap
tain in the 153d Regiment. Its frank
ness and friendly man-to-man talk
ere Of the essence Of the French army
If no other testimony were available
it would give a very adequate sug-
eestion of the ways Of that uncOn-
ventional and democratic body.
Most of the pamphlet is devoted
to the daily routine Of trench war
fare-fghting in the open is not
mentioned. How to fire instantly on
an ascertained point Of observa-
ton, when the enemy is likely to be
out of cover, the use Of hand gren-
AIDES, protection against asphyxiating
gas, what two sharpshooters did at
Ypres on November 7, 1914, 'Passaut,
la melee, la poursuite," are expound-
ed in simple language with a candid
discussion Of the dangers and advan-
tages as well as the temptations Of
specific situations. After taking a
first trench, for instance, as part of
a general assault, it is absolutely
forbidden TO enter the trench or con-
tinue the advance by way Of the COM
munication trenches. The line must
reform ten metres beyond In the
open.
The whole matter Of fear and cow
ardice is discussed with perfect can
dor. Most soldiers are brave; but
there are towards and "canaille."
What makes a man a coward? Not
simply being afraid, Captaine Laf
fargue explains:
Weaknesses beset the soldier
at every step on the battlefield.
He must know of them in order
TO resist them and TO bring back
to the right road any comrade
who might give way to the temp
tations of fear.
you are neither a weakling
nor coward simply because you
are afraid and depressed. Dan
ger always makes itself wildly
felt. Human nature cannot be-
come used TO balls and shells.
But the more you learn of dan
ger the calmcr you feel, for you
know when to be afraid and
when TO sleep peacefully.
AT times you will feel de-
pressed; you will suffer in body
and spirit. Commandments or
violent attacks will dishearten
you, you will be held in the mud,
amid rain and cold; the hours
pass slowly, war is long and you
think Of the unknown to-mor-
row. Evil ideas take form; you
have the blues. But just because
you have the blues you arc not
a coward. He becomes n coward
if he gives way to his feelings,
complains continually Of his lot
and seeks to evadc his duty. He
is n brave man who says: I'm
not feeling much just now, but
all that will pass; I'll wait, work
and sleep"
There is deliciously Gallo candor
in all this. After tho Marine and
Verdun. the right Of the French sol
der TO rank with the bravest cannot
be debated. Yet here is full and
frank discussion Of cowardicc, Of

Tune UP YOUR STOMACH

There is no tonic for the stomach that
is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. But the stomach depends,
as does every other organ, on the blood
for its energy.
There can be no perfect digestion with
out rich, red blood This is scientif-
ically true. The way then to tone up
the stomach is to enrich the blood.
II your digestion is off and your blood
is thin there can be no question about
it. You need DR.. Williams Pink Pills
to restore the condition OF your blood,
use care in the selection of your diet
and the stomach trouble will take care
of itself.
Stomach trouble is facilitating. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are tonic and
build up the weakened system generally.
Most stomach remedies try to digest
your food for you. How much better
it is to tone up the stomach so that it
will do it's own work as nature intend
ed. There is no pleasure in eating pre-
digested food. Tone up your stomach
and your appetite and digestion will
soon be normal.
A diet book will be sent free on re-
quest by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills
or box will be sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of fifty cents.

Get the Most Out of Your Food.

The digestive organs absolutely need the in
fiuence of pure blood for the proper perform
ance of their functions. Persons that sleep in
small i'll ventilated rooms complain of little
no appetite in the morning and of disagreeabe
dryness of the mouth and thro-t. Why? Be-
cause, as result of breathing air that is i'm
pure their blood is impure and fails to give
their digestive organs the stimulus they must
have for perfect work. 1t is necessary that
we should have pure blood if we want to get
all the good ut of what we eat that there is in
it and to get it comfortably. Hoods Sarsa
parila is distinguished for making pure. rich,
vitaized blood. perfecting the digestion and
building up the whole system. Get it today.
