I'VE All. Like Sheep
Francis Hackett, in the New Repub

Francis Hackett, in the New Republic.
Were man boiled and served with
caper sauce I do not believe you could
tell him from mutton. In his own md
man always fears to be a wolf. The
much greater probability, Of course, is
his approximation to a sheep. If there
were more deep self knowledge in the
prayer book human beings would not
exclaim against their turbulent desires.
They would beg God for courage enough
to keep from giving the hatboy a dime.
They would ask the good Lord to de-
liver them from the terror Of wearing
q Panama after September Is. 1t is very
gratifying to pretend to h Lord that
we restrain ourselves with great diff
Guilty from murder. The horrible truth,
as we we'll know. is our mute submits
sion to every form Of grand and petty
tyranny. Why are we straphangers?
| Why dc we wear black evening clothes?
Why do we go to funerals? Why do we
eat bakers white bread? Why do we
sign our letters, yours sincerely? Why
do we let Horlick and Hershey and Bur-
rowes and Carter and all the other in
famous vulgarians scrawl their ugly
names across tho fair face Of America 4?
Not because we are such surging icono-
clasts that we need the Lord to feep us

AUSTRIAN SLAYER
DECLARED MADMAN
Assassin of Premier Mentally
Unbalanced BY War, Is Be-
lief of Austro-G Ger
man Public.

Berlin. Oct. 2s. (via London. Oct.
2D-All accounts in the morning pa
pers agree in calling the assassination
Of Premier Stuergkh, Of Austria, the
deed OF an irrepressible political ia
matte. II not q n~eurasthenic. whose
mind has given way under h strain
Of the war.
DR.. Frederick Adler, the assassin, Is
described by acquaintance as q man
Of q naturally fanatical temperament
In whose family insanity runs-his
sister has been In an insane asylum for
years. These acQuaintances say Adler
has given the impression for months
Of one whose nerves were stretched to
the breaking point and that his wild
demeanor had caused much agitation
in the socialist central COMMITTEES, or
which he was secretary. Young Adler
led q small but vehement opposition to
the policy Of the party under his faith
er's leadership.
Vienna, Oct. 20, (via London, Oct.
23).-Goyernment circles here regard
the killing of Premier Stuergkh as an
act of a political crank, which can in
no wise influence the political situation
or the course Of the war. This state
ment vas made to the correspondent
of the Associated Press in highly re-
%sponsible quarters.
1t is pointed out that the time which
has elapsed since the murder has
shown that Adler, the assassin, stands
alone. His act is disavowed by the So
cialist party and press and condemned
by his father, Victor Adler, socialist
member of the lower chamber Of the
reichsrath. Adler stated to the police
that he shot Stuergkh because the
premier opposed the converting Of par
lament. 1t Is stated officially that
Stuerekh had at no time done this and
that he could not do 1t because the
converting Of parliament was a matter
In the hands Of the political parties.
The Austro- Hungarian press brands
Adler as q vile, irresponsible criminal,
and without exception deplores the fact
that the act Of a crazy man should dis
turb the peace Of the people. The city
is quiet.

Next to the fight for progressive sup

Bacon, former ambassador to France,

away from either ear
Therefore, II you know someone who

formula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means OF saving some

one tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
dullness,. cloudy thinking, etc, while
the hearing rapidly returns as the sys-
tenn is invigorated by the tonic action

mucus dropping in the back of the

GENERAL MILLS OF
MILITIA BUREAU
ANSWERS TO TAPS
Well Known and Brave
Army Officer Dies After
Short Illness of Dread
Pneumonia

Washington, September 1S-Major Gen.
erat Mills, chief of the bureau of militia
affairs, holder of the army medal for
West Point and former president Of the
army war college, died here today after
Is hours illness from pneumonia.
No funeral arrangements had been made
tonight.
In a statement issued tonight express
ing the sentiment of the war department,
Secretary Baker declared General Mills
devotion to his work took strength with
which he might otherwise have been able
to resist the sudden illness. The state
ment follows:
Il have deep sense of personal loss
in the death of Gen. Albert L. Mills.
From the time of my coming to Wash
ington he has been more than jealous in
his self distinguishing devotion to the
militia bureau, of which he was the
head, and his patience, wisdom and kind
ness have greatly simplified both my
task in becoming familiar with the war
department and the difficult undertaking
which fell to the department upon the
call of the militia to the Texas border.
Plainly the devotion of General Mills
to his work took strength with which he
might otherwise have been able to resist
the sudden Illness.
Few officers in the service have a
more honorable career In military OPP
erations he was severely wounded, but
recovered his health and became the
builder of the new West Point, which is
ur doubtedly the greatest military school In
the world. His last years were spent in
recognizing the militia and bringing
about a higher degree of sympathy and
cooperation between it and the regular
army. His death marks the passing of
a brave soldier, cultured educator, a
fine administrative officer and an up
right gentleman"

My wife began suffering and going
down hill 10 years ago and her condition
Kept getting more serious until she
started on Tanlae," said J. s. Collins a

ment few days ago

my Wife has only been taking Tanlac
ABOUT two weeks and many of her friends
nave already spoken about how much
brighter and better she looks. she mad
stomach trouble so bad she couldn't eat
thing without awful distress afterward.
Her kidneys caused her a great deal OF
worry and she was so nervous and rest
less she couldn't sleep hardly at ali. She
would have hot feverish spells followed
with cold sweats and she had that ALL
gone, tired-out feeling all the time. Final
~ she got in such bad shape she couldn t
turn herself in bed without suffering ter
rible pains in her back and sides. Her
condition had become alarming and 1t had
begun to look like there was nothing
that would help her.
"A good friend of ours advised my wife
to take Tanlac and it certainly was the
right thing for her. She began showing
Improvement almost as soon as she
started taking 1t and / can see she is
getting better every day. She now eats
hearty and enjoys everything she eats.
She's not nervous like she was and her
sleep is sound and restful. She has been
relieved of the pains in her back and
sides and her kidneys don't trouble her
like they did She is just now on her
second bottle and if she continues to i'm
prove like she has in the past few days,
1t will only be a short time until she'll
be as well and stout as she ever was.
We all feel good at my house over getting
something to relieve her of those 10 years
of dreadful suffering and we'll always
have good word for Tanlac''
