Tea Party. He brought out the beauty and
strength of the order and in closing admon-
lshed all not to let it take the place of the

CAN WALK 3 MILES
Annoying Troubles of Heart, Stomach
and Digestion All Removed.

To look at Mr.. David 7. Remington,
of Springfield, Mass, one would say,
she is as sound as nut."
And so he is, thanks to the new
combination of purifying and build
ing-up treatment embodied in Hood s
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills.
These two remedies working to-
gether are accomplishing wonders.
Mr.. Remington is well known, hav-
ING been q years in the State House
in Boston as Senate Doorkeeper and
Ser9eant-at-Arms.
He had annoying symptoms about
his heart. stomach and digestive or
cans. His old friend, Senator George
Z. Putnam, Of Lowell. urged him to
take course Of Hood s Sarsapamlla
and Peptiron Pills. which he did, and
says,-"I never felt better. [ can
walk from my house down town and
back, mile and half each way"
These medicines are sold by drug
oists. Why not begin this sensible
treatment yourself today?

In the dry campaign now in progress
in California the cry has been raised
that the raisin industry is threatened.
The argument, briefly stated, is that if
prohibition prevails the varieties of
grapes now grown for making wine will
be made into raisins of an inferior
q uality and that the lower price at which
hey must be sold would eventually
drive every raisin producer out of bust
ness. The Pacific Grove Review prints
statement to this effect from raisin
grower, not because it believes in it,
"but only to show the arguments that
must be met by the temperance forces,
fairly, squarely ard dispassionately." 1t
says further
The raisin industry, which is a most
worthy one, is to be used by the saloon
keepers and all their kind as trench in
which 10 protect their hides from what
is going to be handed to EN- this fall
or what the temperance folks propose to
try TO hand EN- whether the time is
ripe for such a tremendous move or not.
The raisin in this case is going to be "the
Innocent bystander."

members was composed of Justices of

But before the commission was organ

Berlin announcement But the ANNOUNCE
ment brought forth clearly the sentiment
among American statesmen that America
desires the end of the war, and wants II
as soon as possible.
Many men of affairs who refused to
discuss the Berlin statement for pub
lication, made II clear that they feared
a new German move in world politics.
that eventually would not make for peace.
Others were sceptical not as to the
good faith Of Germany. but as to the
likelihood of the entente allies accepting
an offer Of peace negotiations at this
time. They pointed out that Germany
held all the advantages in the strategic
struggle, SO far as conquered territory
was concerned, that the recent conquest
of Rumania had resulted in a far from
peaceful attitude among the entente pow
ers, and that Germany's enemies might
look upon her peace overtures as a sign
OF weakness presaging defeat.
Despite these fears national legislators
generally expressed qualification at the
first ray Of light that has penetrated the
European war-cloud. They declared that
even IL this effort proved abortive, It was
a step In the right direction, and a dis
tinct advance which might at least prove
the beginning Of the end Of the conflict.

ANALYSIS BY WOMEN

Every member Of Congress will receive
within the next few days a comprehen-

for President Wilson In the suffrage
States and showing that the voman's
vote was not responsible for his re-eIec-
ton. It was announced In an Official state
ment issued yesterday by the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage. The
statement follows in part:
President Wilson was not returned to
the White House through women's votes.

the enormous trend In the West toward

In every one Of the suffrage States the
men voters far outnumber the women
voters. In some OF the States by more
than two to one.
Statements have been made by many
Democratic leaders in the suffrage States

vote was the one great influence which
kept President Wilson's majority from
