FINLEY MAY HAVE
 NEW RELATIVES
Little Boy and Girl on Probation
 at Shepard Estate

New York, June 13.-Of all John Does vast kith and kin John Doe 1O4, the five-year- lad who through adoption recently became heir to the has so far proved the most favored by fortune. But he may have to share his hopes of future position and wealth with Helen Doe and Louis Doe, who, it became known yesterday, are now at the Shepard estate at Irvington- -on-the-Hu Ion proba- tion," and who are likely to become Finley J. Shepard, jr.'s foster brother and sister If Finley J. Shepard, jr., likes Helen and Louis, and if MT. and Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, ST, like them equally we'll, they are likely to be- come Finley J. Shepard, jr.'s foster brother and sister.
 The secret of the possible adoption came out yesterday while a Sunday school class from Dobbs Ferry was scampering over the lawns of Lynd- hurst, the Shepard estate. The class teacher wander with Mrs Shepald into a little vine covered tea house, where were seated Finley J. Shepard, jr, Helen Gould and Dorothy Gould, children of Frank Gould, and two lit tie strangers. All were decorously slipping tea.

What To Do For
 Nervous Indigestion

When nerves go wrong they always seem to strike at your weakest spot
 when this spot happens to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetlte vanishes and gives way to ouli, dread, uneasiness and a hollow. gnaWlng feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on cage. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in down and out for one day at least so Tar as being really useful to your sell or anyone else is concerned.
 It's the height of folly to force the digestion of food with some pepsn Dill when the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes rom the nerves alone. Get the nerves right and all distress will vanish.
 Thanks to a remarkable chemical discovery, 1t is now possible to feed the nerve cells with the exact stimu- Jus they require when overworked and unstrung and a preparation called Margo Nerve Tablets is producing re- markable results in the treatment of Nervous Dyspepsia, and other nerve disorders. They make a remarkable change in many instances in ten min utes by the watch, strengthening the stomach and charging the nerve cells with strength, poiSe, power and tre- mendOus reserve energy and giving nerves of steel, a clear head and brain, courage, power, quick wit, and real vital vim. Margo Nerve Tablets can not harm anyone. They contain no dope or dangerous habit-forming drugs. Forty tablets come in a large package, and this is often enough to give lasting relief to even the most obstinate cases. Clark & Brainerd and other leading druggists every where are selling them with a posi- tive guarantee of satisfaction or

stopped before they started down the aisle, others let themselves get caught midway by jerky stop and spilled themselves all over the car. One stepped almost into the path of an au- tomobile because she didn't look be- fore she left the car. True, it was the drivers place to look out for her, but intelligent people are willing to do their share in such matters.
 There is a right and wrong, an in- telligent and an unintelligent, an ac- curate and a sloppy way to do every little thing.
 Education, even when it does not train for any specific work, makes the brain react more intelligently on all the business of daily life.
 Haven't you noticed that it is at the grade crossings in the poorer DOT tions of the city where the less we'll educated people live that the most ac- cidents occur?
 Intelligence and Education Are Not
 Synonymous.
 Of course intelligence and educa- tion are not always synonymous. One may have a good deal of such intelli- gence without education. But edu- cation is futile thing unless it forms and directs the daily intelligence
 Education may not give us more am- munition, but it teaches us to use what we have with a better aim. And not only when we turn our brains up-s on big problems, but even when we are dealing with the smaller relations and reactions of life.

President Wilson has again

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE
Hon. Dick T. Morgan, Republi-
can representative from Okla
homa, speaking to a group Of his
colleagues, points out how the
Wilson administration handed it
to the farmers, in the following
words: Now the 5000, GOO of
men who are employed in our
manufacturing establis h m n t 9
are vitality interested that their
products shall have a market
wherein they can be sold at
reasonable prices. The 6, 500, OOO
farmers are interested in having
a market wherein their products
will sell at good prices. Neither
those who produce manufactured
articles nor those who produce
farm products can be benefited
by surrendering part Of their
home market their best market
to foreign producers. But this
is what the Underwood bill COM
PEELED them to do. The Under
wood tariff law put cattle, hogs.
sheep, corn, broom corn, wheat,
rye, potatoes, milk, eggs, all
kinds of meat, wool. wheat
flour bread, and other products
of the farm on the free list. Be-
fore the European war began
large importations of the above
products were beginning to ar
rive, and when it ends there will
be a great flood Of importations
and the American farmer will be
brought into direct competition
with the markets Of the world"

A few years ago, when he was

instructing young men who
would go out into the world and
take leadership in business and
politics. Woodrow Wilson de-
nounced labor unions and said
that the usual standard of the
employee in our day is Ito give
as little as may be for his
wages. When he became a
candidate for office he changed
his line Of talk, whether he
changed his real views or not.

been retired to private life once

that he could not be recognized,

San Francisco, Sept. 2, 1916.
Mr.. Robert w. Cole,

Ny Dear Robert:
am here on a membership
campaign for the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce.
Our first days work of men,
bership committees resulted ir
1910 members, the largest num-
Der of additional memberships
ever obtained in a single day for
Q chamber of commerce. This
adds about $50, 900 new income
TO the $50, 600 income heretofore
from about 24OO old members.
In other words we gave them
in one day more than fifty per
cent gain both in membership
and in money income.
The second days's total was
l202 new memberships or a total
for two days Of 1852, which more
than doubled the membership.
The third days effort produced
10l%. and the fourth day pro-
duced 1908. or a total for the
four days of 48O8. This gives
this organization the largest
membership of any like organiza-
ton in the world.
There are two classes of men,
bership, Glass A at $50, and
Class B at $50. 1t is estimated
that more than fifty per cent OF
the new memberships are for
Class A.
Yours very truly,
