A Time FOR STRONG NERVES

Many people are worrying them.
selves sick over the high cost OfIiyine.
War time with its excitement and
hysteria is trial to the strongest
nerves. To those whose nervous sys-
TENS are run down by overwofk or
worry, to those who are on the verge
of neurasthenia, it is time of danger.
There is no tonic for the nerves that
is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. There is no form of debility
that does not rob the nerves of nour-
ishment. The remedy therefore for
nervous breakdown is tonic that will
build up the general health, revitalizc
the blood and enable it to carry to the
nerves the elements that they need
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an idesi
tonic for this condition because they
are non-alcoholic and neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimu-
lantS.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. y, has published a
little book on nervous disorders that
contains chapter on neurasthenia in
which the symptoms are fully describ-
ed and the correct treatment given.
The booklet is free on request.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on rcceiptof price, 50
cents per bcx, six boxes for 500.

The government proposes raising

This means the removal from en-

EGGING ON RIOTERS

Riots and bloodshed before the
White House and Capitol, with starv-
inc women and children crying to the
President and Congress for bread,
was the prediction made by Rev. D.
H. Martin, pastor of the Dumbarton
Nj. E. church, in sermon Sunday
night, in which he declared that the
extortion of food SPECTATORS would
iustifv extreme measures by the gen.
eral public to force the government
20 remedy the high cost OF living
Among other things he said:
eff Congress does not move the
freight cars, the people will start
them with dynamite. If Congress
does not put food on the markets, the
people with their own hands, viii
open the cold storage plants. Anc
they would be justified in taking
these extreme measures.
We fail to see how any minister OF
the gospel can aid or abet disorder
in anv way without disregarding his
high calling. Mr.. Martin should
know that disturbers of the peace
have keen ears and are ever ready 10
act upon the advice of those VINO
nose as leaders of the people, whether
politically or otherwise. 1t is not the
preachers place to counsel or APP
prove of disorder in any way, but do
as Paul told Timothy, pray for those
in authority. If his sympathcs are
with those who are disorderly and
fighting the authorities, he is not
carrying out the injunction.
Ministers should act as coadJutors
with officials in preserving the peace
and vieing in bringing about legis-
!ation which will be for the benefit
of all, which We believe, will soon fol-
low the present unsatisfactory con4l-
tons in the United States. IN tie
meantime no sympathy should be e.
pressed for outlawry. but all should
await a time with patience until the
situation shall have been relieved,
to which end the government is now
working.

which have occurred in the larger
cities of this country over the fo1d
supply. A trade journal received IN
Alexandria yesterday by one OF our:
merchants states that there are two
million bushels of potatoes in Maine, !,
mostly in the hands of farmers and
growers, and that the reason alleged
for their non-shipment to the market
lis that given by the railroad COM
|panies that they are suffering from
a shortage of coal.
We said yesterday that the riot.
ing in New, York and other places IS
being carried on by certain elememl
who are watching for opportunities
to bring on upheavals upon any ISSUE
and it would be safe to say that many
of those engaged in turmoils over
food and who cry for bread have the
staff of life in their homes at the
present time.
Tho circular referred to above
states what has not, so far, appeared
in the newspapers. Acid and coal OIL
were cast upon bread in some places
| in New York by men and women who
seemed to have been bent upon rios-
ing even if the market had been
overstocked with the necessaries OF
life.
! II has been shown that the sugar
scare was entirely unnecessary. IN
our own city there are potatoes
enough to. meet all ordinary demands
These alarms are startled and fan
ned bv some newspapers, the publish
ers of which are ready to print any
thing calculated to cause sensation
We live in country of free speech
and unbridled press, but we some
times think it would be we'll were
there censors over much we see IN
papers. In this connection it might
also be suggested that ministers OF
the gospel who give words OF en-
enlargement to disorder might have
their utterances revised.
