Asks for Specific Program.

Il am not so sure said Senator
Rorah, but that the time has come
when the American people should have
presented to them more definitely ana
specifically the terms and conditions
upon which we are fighting the war,
and the terms and conditions upon
which we would cease to fight 1t. l be-
lieve that there ought to be laid be1ore
our people a more specific program as
to what we propose to attain, as to
what we propose to accomplish, and
as to the terms and conditions upon
which the war, so far as America is
concerned. can end l think we ought
to say in as clear terms S possible just
what America demands as a pre-
requisite of peace.
'T say this, not. sir, with the view OF
dealing with Germany or with the e4-
us at this time any proposal which we
might submit. but I say 1t in behalf OF
our own people and of permitting them
to know definitely and specifically the
things for which they are expected TO
fight and the things which shall con-
stitute the end of their task. We can
not carry on this war. in my judgment.
without a thoroughly aroused and sus-
tanned public opinion in favor of the
war. which does not at this time exist;
and one of the reasons, in my opinion
why it does not exist is because OF the
nebulous and uncertain terms and con-
ditions upon which we are supposed to
be in the war. and the utter want OF
knowledge as to what conditions Will
take us out of the war. No one seems
to know what will constitute the end.
America ought to hold the reins Of
peace every hour and at all times.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described AS Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oil
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen He was
SO sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn UP
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
| sent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught. made him take big dose,
and when it began TO act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford's Black-Draught."

to keep fit, ready for the days work.

How to Preserve Meat When Hunting
La Told hN a Hunter

We cut plenty of meat from bSth the
sheep and were busy most of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat. The sheep and bear skins
had to be scraped, the fat carefully
removed the skin stretched out to dry.
Fortunately the weather was clear and
the sun hot, so that the drying was
quickly and well done. We cut great
deal of both sheep and bear meat into
strips and hung it on a rack that we
rugged near the fire, where it would
catch the sun and also receive artificial
heat as. well. Meat dried In this way
will last indefinitely, and, though the
flavor is not much to boast Of, the
meat is nourishing and goes we'll in
"mulligans' and similar connections.
For my people at home l also dried a
few pounds of both sheep and bear
meat according to DR.. Hornaday's rec
ipe-that is, first rubbed ON the raw
meat mixture Of black pepper, all
spice and salt, after which dried the
strips in the sun.-Paul L. Haworth in
Scribner's Magazine.

Why Careful Driving Means Less Elk
pense and Fewer BloWouts.
The automobile owner should realize
that vast proportion of tire break
downs may be avoided by careful driv-
ing. Frequently a stone bruise in the
tire could have been avoided If the
driver had taken the trouble to swing
his wheel little to avoid contact with
the obstruction. Cuts from glass or
metal objects may be largely avoided
If the driver pays strict attention to
what he is doing The man who takes
a railway track head-on and at speed
runs the risk of shooting his front
wheels up in the air and bringing the
tires down with thud on the far rails,
thus causing a bruise that may result
in blowout later on.
The first thing necessary to be i'm
pressed on the average driver is that
he himself is the final court I'm decid-
ing just what mileage he is to get from
his castings. If he will only drive care
fully most of his troubles will be cured
before they occur, Whenever a casing
comes In violent contact with a sharp
object of any sort whether it is stone
or a railway track, a small break will
probably be made in one Of the layers
of fabric. The friction engendered in
service widens this small opening as
strand after strand gives way under
the strain. Finally the inner tube
forces it's way into the break, and
sooner or later the opening closes down
on the tube, pinching 1T and causing
a blowout of the inner retainer. The
air, at pressure Of between eighty or
ninety pounds, bursts its way through
the injured place, tearing the small
rupture wide open in a gaping blow
out. And all because the driver failed
to twist the wheel little TO avoid a
chance flung stone In the road or re-
fused to pull up a little to take a rail-
way crossing diagonally and easily.

In every home occasion arises when
a heavy trunk or chest is to be moved

Why Your Nerve Cells Get Frazzled b,

NightfaIl.
We hear much about nerves these
days. One is nervous. another's nerves
are ION edge" aud a third ones nerves
are worn to a frdZZle' Examined
mtcroscopically, nerves, when we'll nour-
ished, have tiny food granules in their
cells, From these little food granuIes
the nerves derive their strength. When
through eXertion the granules are used
up the nerves appear shrunken and ir-
regular in outline. They need food
oxygen and rest to fill them up again.
The nerve cells of bees were tested
as an experiment. In the morning, be-
fore they began their daily work of
gathering honey, they were large and
full with many little food granules. In
the afternoon, after busy morning.
they were smaller, irregular of out
line, and here and there We're tiny holes
where food granules had been used up.
