life is miserable. You have bad
taste in your mouth, a tenderness
at the pit Of your stomach, a feeling
of puffy fulness, headache, heart

give vigor and tone to the stomach

blood and also directly. Its bene-
fetal effects are felt at once. I'M
provement begins Immediately.

Two hundred and fifty men at the
University of Virginia have reported
the amounts earned by them for the
purpose of paying their way through
the University. The amount earned
by these men before entering the
University was $47,840.0O; after en-
tering, the amount was sal ,052 This
makes sthe surprising total of $88, 1902
or an average of $352.35 per man.
The striking fact is that the stu
dents who have so far reported have
earned for the purpose of education
nearly nine thousand dollars more
than the total State appropriation for
the maintenance of the University,
excluding the funds set aside for the
hospital.
These figures are taken from con-
siderable mass of statistics obtained
concerning self-help mt the University
Of Virginia, and now being digested
with view of future publication in

Owing TO an influx of visitors it was
late in the afternoon before the genial

of the great family daily. Hallway
down the social column his eyes lit on
the following cautious paragraph:
at is rumored that card party
was given last evening to number
of reputed ladies of the second ward.
Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the
hostess, and the festivities are re-
ported to have continued until ten
thirty IN the evening. 1t is alleged that
the affair was social function given
to the ladies of the Second Ward
Cinch club, and that, with the execp-
ton of Mrs. James Bilwigcr, who says
she comes from Leavitt's Junction,
members only were present. The
reputed hostess insists. that coffe and
waters alone were served as refresh

be the wife of John Smith, the So

IN DANGER FROM NO QUARTER.
Extract from address of Congress-
man Bailey. of popps,l,o;,


(Extract from address of Congress-
man Bailey, of Pennsylvania
Mr.. Chairman, of whom are we
afraid? Who is offering us any af-
front? Who is coveting our terri
tory? Who is threatening our insti-
tutions? do not forget, nor have
we forgotten, that the President of
the United States himself has declar-
ed that we are in danger from no
quarter Yet we are asked to pre-
pare and very adequately prepare.
For what? Against whom? On what
account? Who has answered or ev-
en- attempted to answer these very
pertinent questions? Who indeed.
There is no answer to them. To Mt
tempt to answer them is to render
absurd all the historical talk with
which the country has been delugcd
during recent months. We are to be
attacked and overwhelmed by some
unnamed power when the European
war is brought to an end. That is one
OF the answers. But every power in
Europe will be exhausted when the
war is over. All Europe even now is
on the verge of exhaustion. Both i'm
men and in resources the nations now
at death grips are nearing the point
of collapse. Yet we are asked to be-
lieve that when this tremendous strup-
gle is brought to II close through ex-
haustion-and it will scarcely close
short of that-one of the nations, or
perhaps u combination of them, will
turn ut once upon us to rccoup the
losses that the war has cntailed.
Could absurdity TO further? Could
rational minds DO more grossly in
suited than they are when talk of
this sort is addressed to them in sup
port of Il policy otherwise without
support? For there is no support for
the policy except this irrational and
fantastic conjuring with the possible.
or course it is possible for Ger
many and Russia to combine against
us when this war is over Equally
of course, it is possible for Britain
and Austria to do so. IL were even
possible for ull the nations now mt
war to forget their hatrcds and their
jealousies and their mutual scars and
to make common cause against the
United States. But we are not dealing
with possibilities in this world of
cause and effect. We are dealing,
rather, with probabilities, with rca-
sonable sequences and consequences
with logic rather with dreams, with
facts rather than with unbrllcd fam
cics. While it may be granted that
there arc many possible contingencies
growing out of or merely following
the great war, where is the human
probability that any exhausted nation
or any conceivable combination of
exhausted nations will thirst for more
blood and seek to Stake their thirst
at an American fountain?
