FORTY Years. SUCCESS

For a business to be successful !or
forty years means great desl. Among
other things, it means remarkable ex-
ce]lence in the products it sells. No
inferior article can be sold on large
scale for so many years; and it must
not only be good at the outset, but so
good that the progress of forty years
shall not develop any better article to
supercede it.
So women can, with confidence, de.
pend upon that old, tried and tested
remed yfor woman's ailments, Lydia

stfn as popular as ever, though 1t vas
placed on the market before the CEN

HEALTH HINTS.

Night ar as rule is purer than
day air. For one reason there is less
traffic at night to stir up germ,laden
dust.
Time was when It was believed that
night air was injurious. Happily this
old idea no longer exists. The belief
that a person had to manifest symp.
toms of tuberculosis before being put
to sleep outdoors has also disappeared.
Indoor workers especially are bene.
fitted by sleeping out Of doors. Many
Of US cannot control ventilation dur.
ing the day but almost everyone can
manage his own air supply at night.
1t will usually be found that a porch
is the most convenient way Of al.
lowing one to take advantage of the
night air. The best location for a
sleeping porch is on the south or
east side Of the second story Of G
house, although a permanent veranda
on any floor may be used.
Canvas curtains or bamboo screens
will furnish the needed privacy and
protection.
Health habits that bring the most
good generally are those that are more
or less automatic. Such a habit is
pumping fresh air through the lungs
while enjoying quiet, refreshing slum,
Der at the same time.
Night air is a great life.saver, so
make free use of it.

ANCIENT JAPANESE
 TOMBS ARE ROBBED

Tokio. April 7.-Desecration and despoilment of imperial tombs near Nara for purposes of robbery has led to the discovery that other ancient tombs scattered through different parts of Yamashiro province have been broken open and contents of value re- moved.
 The treasures disinterred from the tombs of members of the Imperial family who reigned both before and after Christ include objects of rare and non-appraisab1e value. Some of the jewels and ancient mirrors are said to date back as far as 2,000 years. Among articles stolen were several an- cient necklaces and a number of old metal mirrors containing 50 per cent gold with exquisite antique designs on the back. Another curious relic, was a stone pillow used in the earliest ep- och of Japanese history.
 The hieroglyphics on the back of the mirrors are entirely new to aech- aeologists though they are presumed to be of Chinese origin. The percious stones are valued at many thousands of yen and are supposed to have come from China.
 Traditions have lorg been current as to the value of relics buried in the imperial and other ancient tombs in Zluding the tradition that one tomb contains a wonderful golden coronet of fabulous value.
 The relics and jewels which have been recovered since the arrest and sentencing of the robbers will be turn ed over to the imperial household de- partment.

 DUTY CARDINAL GIBBONS ASSERTS

Baltimore, April 7.-Declaring that the primary duty of every citizen is loyalty to country and that every Am erican should do his full duty in acts rather than words, Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, issued among strong patriotic statement at Washington for an expression of Opin- ion from him on the present crisis.
 "In the present emergency it be- hooves every American citizen to do his duty and to uphold the solemn ob- legations that confront us,' said the Cardinal. .'The primary duty of citi- zen is loyalty, to country. Thsi loyalty is manifested more by acts than by words, by solemn service rather than by empty Reclamation. It is exhibited by an absolute and unreserved obedi- ence to his country's call.
 "Both houses of Congress, with the Executive, are charged and sworn to frame those laws that are demanded by the present crisis. Whatever, there7 fore, Congress may decide should be unequivocally complied with by every patriotic citizen. The members of both houses of Congress are the in struments of God in guiding us in our civic duties. It behooves all of us, therefore, to pray that the Lord of Hosts may inspire our national legis- lature on Executive frame such laws in the present crisis as will rebound to the glory of our country, to righteous ness of conduct and to the future per- manent peace of the nations of the WOrld.''

COURT TO CONSIDER DRINK IN CONNECTION
 WITH COMPENSATION

The superior court has been asked to determine the question of intoxica- ton in it's relation to compensation awards. A test case is to be made of the award of Commissioner George B.. Chandler of Hartford in the case of Ernest w. Swan of Stratford vs Al bert e. Kaiser of Hartford. Tn the compensation court Mrs. Swan, the de- pendent, was awarded $8 per week by the commissioner. The Travellers Insurance Co.,, correspondent in the case has appealed the, decision upon the ground that the evidence may show intoxication within the meaning of the act.
 Swan was killed in Stratford, Sep- tember 28, 1916 when he pitched from the seat of wagon he was driving. It was shown that he had during the day drank two glasses of whiskey and three glasses of beer. The case is like 1y to produce much expert testimony as to the effect of liquor upon the hu- man system.

HATRED
 OF US FOSTERED / GERARD ASSERTS

Harrisburg, April That Germany systematically fosters hatred of Ameri- ca, Americans and American institu- tions was the charge made here by James W. J. Gerard, recalled United States Ambassador to Germany, in an address at a great mass meeting, fol- lowing a preparedness parade and demonstration. MT. Gerard said that the work of those who are spreading the antiAmerican propaganda is care- fully concealed from the outside world especially the United States.
 MT. Gerard spoke of the tragic scenes he had witnessed in Belgium and France and said that not since the days of Babylon had such cruelty been practiced in war as that heing perpetrated by the Prussians today.
 We are embarked on war for democracy, for liberty and the lasting peace of the world, he said "There never was a war with a purer purpose back of it.
 ''In Germany they do not under stand us at all. Foreyears we have been abused because we are a demo- cracy. Americans are known through out Germany as only dollar chasers. America is the land of trusts dollars and corruption over there. They think we lack nerve and bravery.
 T was told over there that America would never dare do anything to Ger many because there were 5OO,0OO trained 1reservists in the United States l told him there were 5OO,OOO lamp posts in the United States and that the reservists would all be hanged in the morning if they ever tried to do any thing.
 ''They have been encouraged in Ger many since this great war started to hate the United States, and the Ameri- can people have been kept in ignor- ance of this encouragement"
