CONSTANT HEADACHES

Z People with thin blood are much more
subject to headaches than full-blooded
persons and the form OF anemia that al
flcts growing girls is almost always ac-
companied by headache together with
digestive disturbances and constipation.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curing headaches and pallor OF the
face they show that the blood is thin and
your efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood. A treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills will do
this effectively and the rich, red blood
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to health are
caused by thin blood than you have any
idea off, When the blood is impover-
ished the nerves suffer from lack OF
nourishment and you may have in
somnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica.
Muscles subject to strain are under
nourished and you may have muscular
rheumatism orlumbago. II your blood
is thin and you begin to show symp-
toms of these disorders try building up
the blood with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and see il the symptoms do not disap-
pear as the blood is restored to normal.
Get DR.. Williams Pink Pills at the
nearest drug store or send fifty cents to
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, n. Y. The booklet Building
Up the Blood" is free on request.

Even that bitter and burning issue,
the tax question, that stuck to several

during the present session. Patriots

The Herald is dreaming again, The
Banner said nothing of the kind. What
The Banner did say on the subject
was that the legislature should not
think it has done its full duty by
merely voting money. Power to en-
list by force, if necessary, and to
equip through right of seizure if need
be, are just as essential as to have
money to pay the bills. Money with.
out the power to use it wisely is about
as effective as SNOWFALL ina fur

why are We Entering The Great
War?

t is too late to argue against wars of con-
quest because the United States have set
precedents to the contrary.
In spite of all the subterfuges that were
resorted to, the Mexican War of 1913 was a
war of conquest, and so was the Spanish war
Of 1898
The Mexican conquest hurried, if it did
not directly cause, the War between the
States; and the Spanish war left us differ
ent nation from what we were before.
All wars, but particularly those Of conquest,
change the internal status of the countries en-
gagged.
We are on the eve of stupendous conflict.
We have drifted into it, almost imperceptibly.
We have already prepared . bond issue of
sercn billion dollars, and lightly announce
that the entire outlay for the War will be
Thirty billions.
That's nearly four times as much as the
entire gold coinage Of the whole world.
Yet, nobody at the head of affairs is stag
gered by this colossal output of long-term,
interest bearing bonds
Even at per cent interest, the war debt
contemplated will add six hundred million
dollars to your annual taxes
Under our system Of Tariff taxes and In
