signals Of distress for a woman. She may
be growing from girlhood into womanhood

wrecks of women. At any or all of these
periods Of woman's life she should take
a tonic and neryine prescribed for Just
such cases by physician of vast expe-
Eienoe in the diseases of women.

The subjects of complaints pecul.

it is a plain duty to let these suffer-
erS know that most of the derange-
ments from which they suffer are due
principally to nervous debility.
1t is not uncommon to hear a
woman say: 'T am all run down, so
nervous and weak" She is suffer-
ing from the modern malady-nerv
business Many suffering women,
influenced by shrinking modesty
have borne this grievious condition
without complaint rather than make
a personal a peal.
Such women, and they are legion
in every community, suffer from
headaches, backacheS, loss Of appe
tite, and SleepleSSneSS. Their spirits
are not the normally happy ones OF
their more fortunate sisters Often,
too, there are spells of nausea, weak
ness even fainting that make them
feel insecure and to wonder when
they will be embarrassed or even in
danger, because of their condition

THE BLACKLIST AS A LESSON

Whatever may be thought about
the right of Great Britain and her
allies to blacklist certain American
firms and individuals by prohibiting
Britishers from doing business with
them, it is pretty clear that Britain
can enforce that sort Of rule If she
likes.
She can enforce it, because she
controls ocean shipping.
Il isn't the power of Britannia's
navy that rules the wave; not In
such cases as this. It is the power
Of Britain's merchant feet.
American goods couldn't possibly
be distributed to the markets of the
world if they were cut off from the
use Of ships sailing under the Union
Jack.
That is a fact that this country
needs recognize. Perhaps this black
listing proposal will serve sharply to
remind our people of their national
weakness in this regard. If it does,
it will serve one useful purpose.

AN ELECTION FORECAST

The other day there was pending
IN the House provision of the tariff
commission part of the new revenue
law. This provision was designed
to prevent ex-members Of Congress
being appointed to places on the
commission.
1t was just plain proposal to in
sure that the board should not be a
harbor for lame ducks.
Congressman Longworth moved to
strike it out; that is, to leave the
measure in such form that a Presi-
dent might appoint lame ducks if he
liked.
Almost the whole membership OF
the House, regardless Of politics,
supported the Longworth proposal.
Democrats and Republicans alike
rose to the opportunity to save five
possible berths for possible lame
ducks.
Maybe it doesn't very clearly in.
dictate which side expects to lose its
job after election; but there GER.
tainly was something about it sug.
costing that the preparedness doc.
trine has been taking hold firmly.

THE HOT WEATHER REGIMEN

In the first place, it's rather good
idea not to think much about the
heat. One way to avoid thinking
about it is not to talk about it; for,
despite much evidence to the con-
trary, there is some vague relation
ship between talking and thinking,
sometimes.
Then if you forget to drink hard
liquor, and remember to drink as
much water as possible, preferably
not too cold, it will help.
Treat the heavy meats as you do
the heavy drinks: don't. Salads,
fruits, toast, and stale bread, the
lighter meats in moderation; sea-
sonable vegetables, with preference
for the ones that don't contain much
starch.
Battle as often as you feel like;
if you do it as often as you ought
to, you will feel disposed to do it still
oftener; but there isn't much danger
of overriding it.
Dress to look cool; you can fool
yourself tremendously by doing this.
Maybe white shoes aren't cooler than
dark ones. but you'll get to imagine
they are.
Keep your living quarters looking
cool, too; that's more of the business
of fooling yourself in the right way.
Fluffy curtains that fiutter in the
breeze make the room seem cooler
than heavy hangings. So does sum-
mer furniture instead of upholstered
things; grass rugs, or none at all
will save the more expensive ones
and prove both economy and com.
fort.
Sleep out Of doors; somewhere;
anywhere; just SO it's out of doors
Even if it doesn't strike you that
you are any cooler, you will sleer
better. And people who keep theil
normal processes moving in a norma
way, and sleep enough, stand heal
maryelously, --..

VETO IT, MR.. PRESIDENT

The public building bill of this
year ought to be vetoed for an I'M
usual variety of reasons. It is a bad
piece of legislation, for one thing,
because it proposes to spend waste
full sums of money where none
should be spent; and for another
thing, because it looks to making in
adequate expenditures in some places
where there is need for larger sums.
Chicago gets $4,250,000 for Fed
eral building; which is about 80 per
capita Of the city's population. On
the other side Mt. Olive, N. c., gets
$4,000. The village has a popula-
ton Of 1.071; so that the per capita
for Mt. Olive is a trifle under $50.
Pikeville. KY, with 1880 souls, is
given $4,000, bringing it to just
about the same per capita as Mt.
Olive.
The whole measure carries about
$35, 900, 900; distributed to do the
most possible good for the "getters'
In their election contests. Maybe it's
worth a premium of $35, 1000, 900, in
the present condition of national
finances and revenues, to give the
present Congress that much boost to-
ward election; but it seems a big
price.

THE FATE OF TURKEY

Turkey had a national debt, before
the present war began, that mounted
near to billion dollars. Not a large
obligation for an empire Of its pop
ulation and natural resources; but
one that, shouldered by nation that
has been the prey of graft and the
spoil of officialdom until its ability
to sustain the load has been we'll
nigh exhausted, has long been a
concern to the financiers of Europe.
Nobody knows how much has been
added to this debt since Turkey was
so unfortunate as to permit herself
to be dragged into the conflict as the
ally Of Germany and Austria; and on
the whole it does not make much
difference, for that debt is pretty
certain never to be paid. Turkey has
borrowed all it could get from its
allies, and they will have to stand
the loss if Turkey is wiped off the
map Of Europe.
There would still remain, of
course, the outline of a great i'm
perial Turkish domain; but the loss
of Constantinople would be the be-
ginning of the end. Arabia has re.
volted and Egypt has been annexed
formally to the British empire
Practically all the Turkish lands in
Africa are gone, and with them most
of Arabia. The Mesopotamian plair
will likely become British, and Ar
menia will be Russian. There will
be left just enough to provide Eu
rope with a continuance of the prob
lem of dividing the Turks raiment.
