ICAL HEADACHES

This trouble commonly called sick
headache, "is said TO be due to the reten-
ton Of urea IN the system. Often 10 ts
stated that Q poor condition ofthe blood

iS a nervous condition; and In certain
cases. no doubt this 10 true.
Where treatment IS demanded, 10 is
more for the pain than anything else,
and DR.. A. +. Schellschmidt of Louis
Vile, has found anti-kamnia tablets TO
give prompt and satisfactory relief.
Rest should be insisted upon" he says,
and the patient should 60 to bed, darken
the room, and all the attendants and
family should be as quiet as possible.
An emetic will some times shorten the
attack The bowels should be kept open
and hot bath and thorough rundown
with coarse towel, often give grateful
relief. Two antt-kamnia tablets when the
nrst signs appear, will usually prevent
the attack During an attack, one tablet
every hour or two will shorten the
attack and relieve the usual nausea and
vomiting" These tablets may be OBJ
tanned at all druggists. Ask for AK
Tablets. Also unexcelled for nervous
hesdsehes, neuralgia and al pains.

new STAMPED ENVELOPE
Made Of Better Paper and Have
Hiaher Backs.

New stamped envelopes with higher
backs and finer quality paper went on
sale at the windows of the city post
office today. These envelopes cost 43
cents a thousand more than those
heretofore in use. The individual con-
sumner will be able still to purchase
them at the former price Of 2 for 8
cents.
The new type OF envelope is the
first OF a series of more modern en-
velopes to be distributed by the Post
office Department.
It is made of a heavier, part rag
stock" paper, and will stand more
wear. The high back is intended to
give more space for the glued flap
to meet the envelope and thus keep
bullying Enclosures from breaks.

Jaundice, which is indicated by a
yellow hue of the skin, that may be
as deep as bronze or as light as ca

this becomes damned up in the gall

blood.

There are many possible origins Of

striking exceptions to this old adage

incorporation of three Shakespeare
societies-an international, a nation

The objects for which both the

to encourage the study of the Shakes

One valuable work now being car
ried on is the compilation of a stand
ard edition of the Shakespeare plays
under the ausoic.J of the national
organization with all Objectionable
or Questionable passages removed,
and with the original Shakespeare
text printed in standard type, and
doubtful passages in smaller type. Any
dfversities OF opinion concerning the
authorship OF the latter will be de-
cided by majority vote OF the sew
eral Shakespeare scholars participat-
ing in the work. Hamlet, Julius Gaze
sar, Loves Labor Lost, and Cymbe-
line, are the first of the plays to
be thus critically analysed.
To Erect Memorial Here.
The National Shakespeare Memorial
Association was incorporated Tues
day of this week for the purpose of
erecting in this city a building in
honor Of William Shakespeare, the
memorial to he national in scope and
character; in conjunction with
this, to maintain a national theater
for the production OF Shakespearean
plays and for the proper training of
ShskespOarean actors.
In addition to this, the Memorial
Association contemplates the estab-
lishment Of an academy of fine arts,
primarily for students Of expression,
literature, music, painting, or sculp-
ture. The establishment of Shakes
peare chairs in American universities
and colleges is also included in the
plans of the association, which hopes
to provide also an adequate course
of training 20 fit teachers and pro-
fessors of English literature to fill
these chairs
This comprehensive program is the
outgrowth of ideas suggested by E.
H. Sothern, honorary president of the.
national organization.

not have been unexpected. If the rea-

semble men fresh from home into can

a most serious mistake. Sanitation and
comfort must be considered. There
must be no repetition of 1898, whose
death lists still remain as monuments
to incapacity and neglect.
However, the government is a pre-
ferred buyer on the market It may

possible.
But have the camps ready for the
men before the men are brought TO the
cantonments. Unwise haste is waste.

those men who pledged their lives and
fortunes and sacred honor to democ-
racy on a continent, solemn because it
not only concentrates the declara,
ton but because it pledges this coun-
try to the extension Of democracy to
other lands and asserts everywhere the
self evident truth that all men are
created equal and endowed with the
inalienable rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
How shall we celebrate it? With
noises and tumult?
Rather let us celebrate the Fourth of
July this year quietly as a sacrament
taken at the beginning of a great task.
If cities have a celebration fund to
spend let them divert it to the Red
Cross. If individuals have looked for
ward to special expenditure on that
day let them do the same thing-give
it TO the Red Cross.
In ancient times men shrived them
selves on the eve Of battle that they
might go into conflict clean of soul
and free from sin. Let US, with this
nation entering mighty war, celebrate
the natal day Of the Great Republic
in such manner that It will prepare
our souls to endure that which we
shall endure and for which we shall
need strength to sustain without fall

That high prices for food in this city
are largely arbitrary has been con-
clusvely illustrated by Mr.. Gompers
at Washington. Bread which in Detroit
sells at 10 cents loaf is sold in Wind
sor across the river. for cents.
Windsor is practically suburb Of
Detroit Economically the two cities
are subject to the same conditions. Ex-
cept as they may be manipulated,
wheat and flour costs no more in one
than in the other. There is little diff
ference in the wage scale or in the
price Of such real estate as bakers
usually occupy or in the methods and
expenses Of distribution.
But Windsor is in the province of
Ontario, Canada, and Canada has q
food control law, whereas Detroit is in
the United States. where no such legis-
lation has yet been enacted. The ex-
cess Of 4 cents loaf charged In De-
troit amounts to levy Of millions OF
dollars a year upon the people OF an
important city, and indicates how
colossal must be the impositions prac-
ticed upon the country at large.
Congress has hesitated to meet this
:ssma courageously. on the pretense
that it was dangerous to confer upon
the United States government the pow
emit. No doubt the Detroit bakers are
more keenly alive to these perils than
the consumers who pay their inexcus-
able prices. For whom does congress
profess to speak New York World.
