ETHER OR FRiLLS?

Most of the economies to which people urged sound vague to ultimate purpose. But writes to met ropolitan newspaper in this wise:
 Don't keep the s2 the 25 cents saved cutting out oysters candy in entertaining and blow in on some thing else Each time you cut out something from your table lay aside and don't be ashamed to offer it to the Twenty-Five cents buys enough ether to give pain operation; Is buys roll of absorbent cotton Wouldn't you rather give blessed unconsciousness to soldier during his amputation than to serve marrons glaces to guests who won't eat them anyway? Wouldn't you rather loss of blood than take walnut sundae?
 Every one who has suffered pain knows what this means. No who has ever passed from torture into the relief anasthesia be indifferent to this appeal
 Whatever your pet fril is. it And send your quarters where they will buy ether for the boys in pain

Lots of people act peacemakers because of the op portunity to butt in.

LIVING ON YOUR NERVE

Everybody has store of nervous en-.
ergy. When work or worry without
sufficient rest exhausts this store acon-
dition results that medical men call
neurasthenia.
1t is commonly met with in those
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, bus
iness men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to vacations. Women
who are too active socially, anyone who
has too much excitement and too little
rest may show the symptoms.
The complexion becomes pale, you
imagine unpleasant things, your brain
insists on working when you want to
go to sleep. Sometimes you are mel
ancholy. Things that used to please
you no longer do so. Constipation is
usually present. You worry about
yourself and your work and cannot for
get your anXieties.
No doctor can cure neurasthenia.
You have to do it yourself. The first
thing is to write to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for
the booklet on the home treatment of
nervous disorders. If you want to
start the treatment before the book
comes get a fifty-cent box of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills from the nearest drug
store and follow the directions carefully.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
TRAINMEN TO
FIGHT REPEALER
Will Line Up in Effort to Pre-
vent Passage of Amend
mentS

A Members of the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen are lining up for
a hard fight against the repeal of the
full crew bill. 1t is understood that
each lodge will appoint a special COM
mittee to assist the legislative COM
mittee in using every effort to pre-
vent the passage of the repeater
At an enthusiastic meeting yester-
day of Lodge No. 3S3, the members
discussed the proposed amendments to
the full creY measure. Reference was
made TO tRS necessity for guarding
railroad property and equipment, ana
an argument put forth was that the
more men on crew the better protec-
tion is given a train. Local trainmen
are of the opinion that at present it
would be a good thing to increase the
number of men to a train. One train
man said recently:
"A full crew is needed. Many times
it is impossible to give a train COM
plete inspection because of the lack
of men. Sometimes with a train of
10 cars, two trainmen have all they
can do to look over so cars before it
is time to start on the run. The pub
lie is not acquainted with the duties of
trainmen. They must inspect brasses.
brakes, air, coupling and doors, watch
for axle and wheel troubles and at
tend to their regular duties. With
more men to a train every car can
be given a thorough inspection. 1t is
a question of safety first, and the old
saying is: a stitch in time saves nine ;
All the trainmen now in service are
needed, and a full crew is necessary
on all trains"

Philadelphia office holders will be

little else doing. Many new bills are
expected to be presntd, but Just why,

Opponents of the woman suffrage
amendment say that the action of Miss
Rankin, member of Congress from
Montana. in voting against the war
resolution has damaged the prospects
of the measure and the anti-suffragists
are busy as nailers. The resolution
will be on a special order tomorrow
morning.
The capital punishment bill is to
be made special order for to-mor-
row and men who oppose it are re-
ferring to the Eddystone disaster as
a reason why there should be capital

good for the persons responsible for
that outrage.

bills on third reading and 62 on

INDIVIDUALISM
Is MUCH NEEDED
DR.. Dixon Points Out That to
Take Care of Oneself Is an
Important Matter Now

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon. State Commits
sioner of Health, to-day called upon
people to take care of themselves and
prepare for the war by preparing them
selves. The Commissioner suggested
that the best way to help was to de-
velop individualism.
DR.. Dixon said:
When we talk about a representative
form of government and the health
of or people, we rarely stop to think
of our individual part in the respon-
sibility and efficiency of our govern
ment and its every act
We are all highly critical of the
way in which our municipalities and
our State and federal departments are
conducted, without a blush at our own
want of individual responsibility in
governmental affairs when it is time to
direct them as they should CO.
The large majority of us, from the
time we get up~in the morning and
start to look after our domestic af-
fairs and those concerning our bust
ness or profession, until the DAYS end.
consider no efforts too great for efIi-
cheney, let them be what they may.
The large majority of our voters, how
ever, never stop to weigh earnestly the
s~NNS
add up, so that when it comes time for
nominating officials, we may have q
record of the men entrusted to take
care of our affairs. 1t is rarely YOU
meet men at the polls who can intelli.
gently analyze the character of those
who are to be voted for to take care
of our lives. our health, our persona
and real property. and to make use
of our money, paid over to them in
the form of taxes, for the upkeep ot
tnose things necessary in higher civ.
ilized life.
We should be as careful in voting
Tor public officials as we are in select.
ing banks in which we propose to de.
post our earnings.
The manner in which our govern.
ment is being conducted should oc.
cupy some part of each day of oul
lives. that we may keep in touch will
pubic life as we do with our EVERYDAY
afalrs, both at home and in business
II we neglect to play our part in oul
government, it soon becomes empiri
cal, or run by a few, und those wht
sometimes take but selfish interes
in our affairs.
This same individual indifference
toward our duties as members of 8
representative form of government
can be compared with our neglect o.
our individual health. We rise in th,
morning and formulate our dali,
work. looking after the social, business,
or professional duties; but we give
little or no attention to the sanitar,
condition of our homes and the.pro
ef treatment of our physical and men
