Mark Day

The rev rays Of golden light the
sun was able to force through the
gloomy, heavy skies of Easter Sun
day, shone for about hve minutes.
late In the afternoon. but failed to
encourage folk TO venture out In
Easter fnery. Those who had been
brave, or reckless enough to don
their Easter toggery In the morning
will probably spend the rest Of the
spring repairing the damage to
clothes and pocketbook occasioned
by the drizzling rain.
There were few signs of the bril-
liant fashion parade which usually
obtains on Woodward-ave. on Easter
Sunday. For the most part, folk
were sensible and went to church
In the most presentable clothes left
in the winter wardrobe. Here and
there were men and women, youths
and girls who could not refrain from
appearing In new rags" and these
stood out with particular emphasis
in the general picture OF sombre-
ness.
Inside the churches there were
flowers, music and brilliant lights.
Everywhere were the evidences OF
the spirit OF exaltation the Christian
world endeavors to express at Eas-
terrible In the Resurrection. The
stately Ascension and Gala lilies
were the favor.te flowers, with
spring blossoms OF all kinds finding
their place on chancel and on pull
pit platform.
The musical services were elabo-
rate, with quartet choirs frequent
ly augmented by choruses and or
gan supplemented with solos, in
struments or orchestra.
Almost every church in the city
OF every denomination had its doors
wide open from dawn TO late ut
night. for. when services were not
being held, there was q general in
vitation to all who passed that way
to enter and seek respite from the
strife. Of the world in a few mo-
ments prayer and quiet meditation.
II is estimated by pastors that,
despite the unbavorable weather
conditions the church attendance for
Easter, 1916. was the largest in the
history OF Detroit. All of the cen
trally located churches were unable
to accommodate the crowds that
would have entered. while the
churches in the residential districts
all had overflow congregations.

NEURlLGIA'S ONE SYMPTOM

+: Neuralgia Is q disease which has
but one symptom-pain.
The pain OF neuralgia IL sharp and
shooting with intervals of freedom.
An attack of neuralgia does not
give immunity but occurrences are
the rule. The same nerve 10 gen.
orally affected. which means that
this particular nerve has lost Its re-
sistance and that there will be re-
curing attacks until the strength Of
the nerve Is built up.
How can the strength of q nerve
be restored? The nerves are nour.
bhed entirely by the blood and weak
qerves are toned up by supplying to
The blood the elements that the
nerves lack. As the general health
and strength OF the patient are built
up the nerves resume their normal
functions. Inflammation caused by
back OF nutrition disappears and the
Aeuralgic attacks cease.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills arc q
tonic exceptionally well suited for
the treatment OF neuralgia because
they contain no alcohol. stimulating
or habit.forming drugs. The tonic
treatment with these pills ID well
worth trial by any sufferer from
neuralgia.

Skin foods and face creams and

that--it depends on health. In most
cases the basis OF health and the
cause OF sickness can be traced to
the action of the bowels.
The headache. the lassitude. the
sallow skin, and the lusterless eyes
are usually caused by constipation.

of the New York World that the
German.American organizations OF
the United States are perfecting a
plan to control the government In
favor OF the German cause by elect
ing a president who will be amena-
BILE to their wishes met with partial
confirmation from leading Germans
here today.
Victor Ridder, brother of Bernard
Ridder, editor OF the New Yorker
Staatz Zeitung, is quoted as saying
that the German Americans had de-
termined to unite behind some pres
idential candidate who will express
himself as in sympathy with a pro-
German program, and 10 see that
no congressman or senators are re-
turned who are In favor OF the vii.
son foreign policies.
Mr.. Ridder is said to have de-
clared that he believed such action
was entirely justified by the "un-
fair" attacks OF the president on
hyphenatec Americanism.
Henry Weissman. president OF the
German-American alliance, admitted
that he knew Of the existence of
such a plan. bu. would have moth

OF Texas, who is accused by the
World for pleading for German sup

statement denying any improper &C.
