BaiLey's Plea for Peace

Congressman Bailey. Of Pennsyl-
vania, makes the following appeal in
his paper, the Johnstown Democrat:
1T seems to me the high and sol
emn duty Of every American citizen
to speak soberly and without passion
at this critical juncture. What little
influence | may have is being eXerted
in behalf of keeping the peace. l do
not want war The President does
not want It, He is hoping as l am
hoping aud as the country is hoping.
that Germany may not pursue a
course which shall bring on a con-
hict.
ut is to be regretted that the jim
goes are appealing to the mob spirit,
and are branding as traitors all
Americans who are not joining in
their clamoT for war. If we must
have war, let us have one Of our very
own, not one that was begun by some
other nation for its own purposes,
and in which we have no concern eX-
cept as involuntary and incidental
sufferers along with other non-com-
batants Every injury of which we
have complained has been incidental
and not deliberate and intentional.
No country now at war is our enemy.

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS
by Beatrice Fairfax

Circumstantial evidence has too
many faithful adherents. Too many
people judge on the appearance of
facts without investigating for the
foundation of real truth.
In spite of the fact that appear
ances are little against a man who
comes half an hour late for an i'm
portant appointment and talks about
"a blockade in the subway"-there
may really have been a blockade in
the subway on the particular day
when that outworn excuse makes us
laugh at Mimi
1t is easy. to jump to conclusions
When one knows half a story and
looks at set of circumstances from
ones own angle of vision, it is very
easy to form conclusion that has
very little to do with the facts in the
case.
Two and two do make four, but
there is always possibility that
three has been added to the first two
and one subtracted from the second,
which changes the sum materially.
Suspicion and cynicism and doubt
are great forces in modern life. Peo-
pie doubt and question each other
and impugn each others motives
How many a love affair has ended
disastrously because man who had
promised to be somewhere at eight
O'Clock neither appeared nor sent an
excuse for his non-appearance!
The girl in the case jumped to a
conclusion-she was being neglected,
abused and otherwise unfairly treat
ed. At cnce she must protect her
dignity. And off goes an ill-temper-
ed, hysterical, accusing letter which
shows an utter lack of faith and un-
derstanding to man who has been
, called out of town to the deathbed
of a dear friend and who is either
furiously angry or sadly grieved
when he finds himself tried and con-
demned unheard.
Judge not, that ye be not judged, u
is wisdom as we'll as religion. When
all the evidence is in and looks de-
cidedly black for the accused, human
love and human charity ought still
make allowances.
But when the evidence has not
been returned in full, when there are
only few indications against friend
or beloved, why torture oneself with
suspicion, why fail friendship with
doubt?
The lack of faith you show in
some one else gives evidence against
yourself. If you suspect other peo-
pie of underhanded and unworthy
dealings, you suggest at once that
you are capable of them. The mo-
tive you attribute to some one else
is possible for you.

TANLAC BENEFITS HIM

TANLAC BENEFITS HIM
Those who knew Elmer Beard as he
was only a few short weeks ago are
astonished at the marvellous change
that has come over him.
From a worn out, miserable, physi-
cal wreck he has changed almost over
night into the picture of health, and
the story of his recovery is well nigh
unbelievable.
For Is years" said Mr.. Beard
when seen at his home, 235 Lehman
street, Lebanon, Pa, II suffered inde-
scribable torments from Indigestion
and stomach trouble. l was run down
and tired all the time and l couldn't
eat enough to keep up my strength
for no matter how simple the food my
stomach could not digest 1t and
would be filled with gas, causing me to
suffer severe pain and almost unendur-
able misery.
II tried every medicine ever heard
of without being able to get any re-
lief and my trouble got so bad of late
years that ] was often confined to my
bed under the doctors care, Sut l only
got worse instead of better.
FINALLY, after reading so much
about Tanlac, / began taking 1t and
from that day my recovery has been
rapid until to-day, to look at me- you
would not think | had ever had sick
day in my life.
II am stronger and more energetic; ;
7 am sleeping fine and / have a splen-
did appetite and can eat heartily of
anything on the table.
'I heartily recommend Tanlac and
my many friends here in Lebanon will
vouch for the great good that 1t has
done me-"
Tanlae, the famous reconstructive
tonic is now being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
