Bryan-Wilson-Hughes.


Some years ago an ardent disciple
of William J. Bryan died in Connec-
sicut. He left modest estate and
bequeathed q sum Of money to his
idol. In addition he left q sealed
envelope containing directions TO pay
a handsome amount to Mr.. Bryan.
The widow and her advisers did not
recognize this document as an essen
tial part of the testator's will, and
the needs OF the widow were such
that she did not feel that she could
spare the money. Yet Bryan went
into the courts, fought that widow
and tried to wrest from her the
money which she needed and which
he could claim in only . shadowy
fashion. The courts turned him away
empty handed.
Six years ago Woodrow Wilson re-
signed the presidency Of Princeton
university in order to enter politics.
He was elected governor of New Jer-
sey and came into receipt of the
largest salary he had ever enjoyed.
BY reason of his political position DR..
Wilson's books took on an increased
sale and his royalties were largely

white Pine blister.

George P. Dorr. custodian and forester
of the new national park at Mt. Desert
island, calls attention to the presence OF
that destructive tree disease, white pine
blister, in Ellsworth and on Mt. Desert
island. and makes an appeal to owners OF
currant and gooseberry bushes to destroy
them in order to prevent the further spread
of the disease One Ellsworth woman
who has some fine currant bushes has al
ready destroyed them. Mr.. Dorr writes:
THE fatal pine blister rust, one Of the
most destructive and swift OF all tree
diseases, imported but q few years from
Germany, spreading with disastrous
rapidity from originally infected areas in
New York and Massachusetts,, has
both Ellsworth and Mt. Desert
island, and prompt action, alone, in COM
batting ii can save our pines, both young
and old.
"A federal inspector was here recently
and identified the fungus growing
upon currsnt and goose berry
leaves in Bar Harbor and other island
gardens. From these, the spores, in the
alternate generation, pass on to
the pines attack, destroying whole groves
with fatel swiftness. The only remedy is
to burn at once, before this has taken
place, the currant and gooseberry plants,
whose value Is negligible beside that Of
the trees, which give the disease its
opportunity to attack the pines.
"Wiu not the owners OF estates and
gardeners upon Mt. Desert island do the
same? A great and lasting injury may
be sverted by it, and no other means
exists.n

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
COMPOUND or SIMPLE LANA.
TIVE HERBS SAFE FOR BABY
AND MOTHER.

Constipation is condition that cf-
fccts the old, young and middle-aged,
and most people at one time or ano-
ther need help in regulating the ac-
ton OF the bowels. Harsh cathar-
tics and purgatives should not be en-
ployed to relieve constipation, as
their effect is only temporary, while
they shock the system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can be used with
perfect safety for the tiniest babe
and that is equally effective for the
strongest constitution is found in the
combination Of simple laxative herbs
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin and sold in drug stores every
where for fifty cents bottle. This
is an ideal household remedy and
should be III every family medicine

Washington, April 1S.-An army
reorganization bill that would pro
ducc regular army ard reserve mill
tary forces in the United States ag-
gregating a million men was passed
By the Senate tonight without a rec
ord vote.
On the eve Of a special Joint ses-
sion OF the Houses of Congress to
hear message from the President
on grave international issues, the
Senate FASTENED completion of the
Dill amid scenes of excitement, re-
peatedly rejecting all amendments
tending to reduce the Droposed
strength OF the army.
In the closing hours of debate the
Senate made provision for regular
standing army with a peace strength
Of 100000 men, as compared with
l4o,0o0 III the Hal bill, which pass
ed the House, retained after a c:ose
night the plan for a Federal volunteer
army reserve force calculated to ag-
sregate 261 700 men, and fedcralize
the National Guard forces Of the
States at an estimated strength Of
$50, 400.
In addition to this combined recu-
lar ana reserve force OF 100000 men,
an amendment by Senator Hardwick
was passed to create Il school and COL
lege youths reserve corps in time of
war or threatened war which would
recruit a force of trained young men,
