EVIL PROPHETS
Tells Automobile Engi-
neers Import Menace Pre-
dictions Are Nonsense.

Judge Gary and others who have
prophesied that tho end OF the Eu-
rouean war would see America flooded
with imports TO the crippling Of home
industry. unless tho tariff were re-
vised, were characterized AS "pessi-
mists" and "prophets Of evil' by Jo-
scphus Daniels. Secretary OF the Navy
at the annual dinner Of the Society
of Automobile Engineers at the Plaza
last night. c,
also explained that 1t was impossible

President, and spent quarter hour
iustlfying Mr Wilson's stand IN re-
iation TO the European war. In re

IN his discussion OF the oaval pro

rotary pointed out that the Merchant
marine had been so long neglected that
the construction of war craft was
necessarily limited by the small ca

criticised the "unwise policies which

that, unless the American people could

pathy.
But. ladies and gentlemen. our
thought cannot pause 40 the artificial
boundaries Of the fields Of science and
Of commerce. All boundaries that

Passion the Enemy Of Truth.
mo one who reflects upon the nrog-
ress Of science, or the spread OF the
arts OF peace. or the extension and
perfection Of any Of the practical arts
Of life, can ia 20 see that there IS only
one atmosphere that these things can
breathe, and that ~ an atmosphere Of
mutual confidence and of peace and Of
ord red political life among the ma
tons. Amidst war and revolution even
the voice of science must for the most
part be silent. and revolution tears up
the very roots OF everything that
makes life 60 steadily forward and the
light grow from generation % genera
tion. For nothing stirs passion like
political disturbance, and nassion Is the
euewy Of truth.
These things were realized with
peculiar vivid1ess and said with un-
usual eloquence in a recent conference
held In this city for the purpose Of CON
sidering the financial relations between
the two contestants Of America be
ceuse IL was perceived that inanciers

that you cannot make laws vary with

flow Of commercial Intercourse is i'm
possible. and that. therefore, a iinan-

BE PREPARED TO FIGHT

Nature is always fighting to keep us well, Under normal conditions the forces of health within our bodies keep the disease germs in subjection. They are not expelled entirely but they are kept harmless.
 Some indiscretion in diet and the di- gestion is upset; overwork or worry per- haps disturbs the nervous system, the blood gets thin and the ever-present dis ease germs assert themselves. The blood fights the body's battles. Whenever a wound is received, whenever there iscon- gestion or inflammation, to that point the blood quickly carries the elements needed for repair-if it has them. But when the blood is thin and watery 1t lacks these elementscitself.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are tonic that supplies the blood with the elements needed to build up the tissues, to repair waste, to revitalize nerves, to stimulate digestive action, to burn up the poisons in the blood: In this way, by building up the blood, they are useful in rheuma- tism, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, neu- rasthenia, nervousness, St. Vitus' dance, and in anemia in many forms.
 The free book, "Building Up the Blood' tells all about the treatment. Send fora copy today to the Dr. Williams Medicine O., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills,
