For Bilious Attacks.

When you have a severe head
ache, accompanied by a coated
tongue, loathing of food, con-
stipation, torpid liver, vomiting
of partly digested food and then
bile, you may know that you
have a severe bilious attack.
While you may be quite sick
there is much consolation in
in knowing that relief may be
had by taking three of Chamber
lain's tablets. They are promt
and effectual. Ootainable every
where.

The Best Recommendation.

The strongest recommendation

orable word from the user. 1t
is the recommendation Of those
who have used it that makes
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy so
popular. Mrs. Amanda Gierhart,
Waynesfeld. Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has been used in my family off
and on for twenty years and it
has never failed to cure a cough
or cold." Obtainable everywhere.

How 1t Happened.

There are at least
Short intervals
Of time
When a publishers life
Is worth while.
Only the other evening
When we were
Locking the office
To go home for the night,
A subscriber came in
And paid S6 on
Back subscription
And two years in advance.
And
While we were fixing
Up his receipt
The telephone rang
And a business man said
He wanted a whole page
Of space
In every issue
From now until Christmas.
Then a little girl
Gave us $40
And said
Her pa sent it up and
For us to just
Give him credit on
His paper.
For about two hours
They kept coming
And we took in
More money
In those two hours
Than we took in
In two weeks
Before.
And just when we reached
Home the telephone
Rang. It was our
Banker and he said
A relative of ours
Had died
| And left us
Four million dollars.
It made us feel
So good
That we just had to hug
Our wife,
And she said:
Henry, stop that;
It's six o'clock
And
Time to get up. "-Ex.

Resolution.

Resolved, That, whereas, our
all wise and loving Father has
called to her reward our beloved
friend and former matron, Miss
Amanda Atkins, we the super
intendant, faculty and students
of the Institution for the Blind,
extend to her sorrowing relatives
our deepest sympathy.
For eighteen years this brave,
warm hearted woman gave un-
stintingly of her service and
love to those entrusted to her
care in this school. No duty
was too wearisom or hard for
her to perform if by doing so it
would bring some joy or COM
fort to her children, as she was
won't to call them. She was
faithful to every duty, her in
terest was centered in each child
in this school. She was loyal
and true to those for whom she
worked. Never did she spare
herself, when duty called she
was ready and glad to answer
the call. The appeal of the suf-
fering and afflicted fell not in
vain upon her ear. Never a big
ger, warmer heart beat in hui
man breast than in Miss Mandy,
as she was called so tenderly by
her sightless children.
Even in the closing days of
her long and faithful service to
this school, when sickness had
laid it's wasting hand upon her,
when almost too feeble for her
daily work, she stood steadfast
to her post of duty unwilling
that other kind hands should as
sist her in the work she loved so
we'll. Hers was a life spent in
the service for others and more
than one life has been made
worth while through her gener-
osity. She has gone to the re-
ward she so richly deserved and
we are the sadder for her leav-
ing. In the early dawn of this
winter morn before the Angel of
light entered her chamber and
bade her. come up higher. am
sure she heard those tender low
ing words whispered to her
tired weary spirit Well Done
Thou Good And Faithful Servant
Enter Thou Into The Joy Of Thy
Lord.
Be It Further Resolved, that
a copy of these resolutions be
spread on the minutes Of the
school a copy to the bereaved
family and a copy to the Brand
on News with request that they
publish.

Head of Princeton University Gives Out
Statement Defining His Position

PRINCETON, N. j., April 4.-Dr. John
Grier Hibben, president OF Princeton Uni
versity, gave out the following statement
last night:
IL Is great relief TO every loyal
American that the time of doubt, of dis
cussion and hesitation is over and that
at last. we as a people are in n post
tion where we can clearly recognize both
our friends and our enemies. do not
feel we are beginning war so much
against the German people themselves as
against that tyrannical power which has
enthralled the German people and is now
seeking to enthrall the world. United
with our natural allies in a common
cause, a common foe and with a resolute
purpose to strike fairly but to strike
hard, let us stand in readiness to endure
any sacrifice in order to attain victory
that will assure the permanent peace of
the world.
