FIGHTING FOR HAPPINESS

When you get into frame of mind
that makes life seem one tireSome
duty after another, with no pleasure
In 1t; when i'll health seems to take all
the Joy out of life and you worry over
things that are really not worth worry
ing about, then your nervous system
Is becoming exhausted and you are
approaching neurasthenia.
Your happiness is worth fighting for
and red blood is your best ally. 1t is
a hopeless task to try to restore your
health while your blood is deficient in
quantity or quality.

remedy that has been a household
word for a generation, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color In the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling.
The DIR. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, n. Y, has published a
free book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms are fully describ-
cd and the correct treatment given.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt Of price, 20
cents per box, six boxes for $40.

The Cork Convent"

A striking curiosity near Cintra, Por-
tugal, is an ancient convent built par
TALLY In the interior of an immense
rock. The convent is situated in a
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by a dense wood of cork
trees. The convent Is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or Cork con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1850 to 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order Of monks
known as the Capuchins, remark
able feature Of their discipline being
that, except on certain occasions, ST.
lence was obligatory. Since 1884, wheE
the monasteries and converts OF Por-
tugal were dissolved, the convent has
not been occupied. though It is open
to the public, caretaker residing there

SackvilLe Street. Dublin.

Dublin is one of the finest cities In
the British empire, and its public
buildings are second to none. Two
very different men have united in its
praise. Goodwin Smith said that Phoe-
nix park was the most beautiful of all
the parks he had seen, and Greville.

The liberal professions come in as
good second to the army and navy, the

been completed by the house for
eign affairs committee and will be
introduced Immediately after the
president concludes his address.
Secrecy About Message.
There is no immediate inten-
ton of sending an American ex-
petition to Europe. The belief of
government authorities is that the
entente allies now need money
and ammunition more than addi-
tional men.
These material things, together
with cooperation of the American
navy and the aggressive moral
support of this nation, are regard
ed as the first steps to be taken
while the country prepares a great
army for possible future use in
Europe.
The greatest possible secrecy
has surrounded preparation of the
presidents message.
Cut Into Short "Takes."
For days the president deliber-
ated on the question, drawing out
opinions from his advisers. He
then began making shorthand
notes on his own and other ideas
as they impress him.
Friday morning he completed a
shorthand draft of the message
and discussed his phases of 1t with
his cabinet. Saturday and Sum
day he extended his notes. -

writing on his own typewriter the
message as it was to go to the
printer.
He then studied the document
in its completed form and made
any necessary changes with his
pencil.
To further insure secrecy, the
message was cut into small sec
lions at the government printing
Office, to prevent any one man on
the typesetting machines from
gaining a comprehensive idea Of
the address.
The message is described by the
presidents advisers as powerful
indictment of the German impe-
rial government.
Goes For Golf Game.
It is expected to outline the long
and patient course pursued by the
United States to remain at peace
with Germany; efforts to settle by
amicable means all aggressions
until the good word of Germany,
treaties and promises we're shat
tered more and more by violations
of the laws of nations.
Secretary Tumulty, was called to
the White House early today and
the president read his message to
him. The secretary personally
took 1t to the public printers.
The president then went out on
the golf links for a game with DR.,

ing this session of congress.
The house elected him this aft
ernoon after listening to a war
prayer and q war speech by Repre-
sentative Schall, independent, who
swung his vote to Clark, holding
that patriotism demanded this be

The vote stood:

Blind Representative Schall of
Minnesota, who, it had been
thought, might vote for Mann as
speaker, stirred the house when
he nominated Clark.
In normal times, he said, he
would vote for Mann.
One Party Needed.
To-day" Schall said, 'there
should be just one party, and that
party the American party. There
is no better way of standing by the
president than by returning his
party's organization of the house. -
Schall declared
| 81 would be of little use on the
battlefield with my sightless eyes"
but added he would do his duty
in the organization with the light
that God gave me-"
This is no time for any man
to criticize the president of the

say that 1t would be better for the
country If the president were COM
PEELED to consult the republicans

ably will organize this house to-
