ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it now!

PLANT LONG HELD SACRED
CLOVER, of Which the Shamrock Is a
Species, Was Much Thought OF
f. by the Ancient Greeks.

It is difficult to say what was the
original shamrock, trefoil or Hero Trim
ity. The leaf now recognized as the
national emblem is that Of the white
clover, but the name shamrock is
generic and is applied also to the
purple clover, the speedwell, the PIN
pernel and to the. wood sorrel
The clover of two or four leaves
was held sacred, in the festivals Of the
Greeks. The one of four leaves, when
carried about, is, supposed to insure
success atrplay, and confer the power
Of detecting evil spirits. The lover
may put 1t under his pillow and he will
dream of his beloved, or the maiden
may slip 1t into her sweetheart's shoe
without his knowledge and it will in
sure HIS safe return from any journey.
1t may be employed to prevent the
wearer's being drawn into military
service, is said to be cure for lunacy,
and is still, among the Irish, regarded
as magical, even sacred. Snakes dis
like 1t exceedingly and will not remain
where 1t is growing.
+ Some say the four-leaf shamrock Is
the shamrock of luck. and others that
1t is the five-leaved one that holds the
magic touch. This latter Is rare and
priced and Is said to grow from de-
caying body, as the nettle is said to
spring from buried human remains. The
shamrock of luck must be found with
out searching, without seeking" When
thus discovered 1t should be cherished
and preserved as an invincible tails
man.

One of the recent news items from

His Life and Works.
From all that can be learned con-
corning the life and works of st. Pat
rick, he was good man, and spent his
life going about doing good for his feIs
lows.
As you know, a good man Is more
highly respected. more beloved and ex-
,erts'.a greater influence for good in
the community In which he is known
than even the wealthiest, the most
powerful or most favored. He may not
wear purple and fine linen. nor fare
sumptuously, but he is making the
world better and Is, therefore, truly.
and in the highest sense, a son of God.
There are numerous stories and leg
ends concerning st. Patrick, some Of
which may be true. But it matters
little whether he was Milesian born
In Spain, or a son Of poor swine
herd of the green isle.
The history of the world shows that
the mere circumstances of birth cuts
very small figure in the matter of real
greatness From earliest times the
men who have figured most promi-

In His Day.
We of the present day can hardly
conceive of the conditions existing in
the British islands in his day.
The native Celts were heather and
british, and had no higher ambitien
than to exist, unless it. was to rob
neighboring tribes of their cattle, hogs
and fair women. Physically they were
strong, vigorous and emotional, and
possessed of good nature, wit and So
cial feeling in a marked degree as COM
pared with the inhabitants of other
islands.
Noting this, st. Patrick must. have
concluded there was something here to
work on, something good and seeing
sist in the development of the social
disposition and good feelings of these
people.
He therefore became one of them,
lived with them, won their confidence
and commanded their respect. In or
he occasionally went abroad and
studied under the fathers of the church,
for religion is most powerful to con-
troll the feelings and change the aspi-
rations of men.
No matter what he may have been
hory, ha xroc q, fy-,,xa
A Real Man. "a
There are those who regard st. Pat
rick as a fakir more or less, because
of the miracles he Is said to have
wrought.
AS far as known st. Patrick did not
claim to have miraculous power, nor
to have driven the reptiles out of Ire
land. ..t. =.
1t has always been the'rule among
ignorant and superstitious people to
credit their religious teachers and
great leaders with having done some
marvellous or miraculous thing. With
out something of the sort other igno-
rant and superstitLous people would
not heed them.
There may never have been any rep
tiles ON this particular island, it hay-
Ing been one of the last to rise up out
of the salty sea.
1t Is not the fact, that man Is able
to do wonderful things, or to work mir
acles, that makes him great really, but
his ability to see and to comprehend
the great truths concerning life. and to
earnestly desire to spread these among
the people. This 1t Is that commands
the attention Of the livelier spirits,
and wins the respect and confidence of
those who desire better things in this
life.
Such was st. Patrick.
A Splendid Type.
1t is not the mere human creature
that accomplishes great things. but the
man within the machine. 1t was not
the figure seen by the people that COM
manded their admiration, for he was
not an Apollo, nor was 1t the familiar
form bearing shepherds crook that
brought these rough. untutored men to
their knees and inspired them with
worshipful feelings; nor was it the
venerable father that aroused the
spark of crude love In their hearts and
ripened 1t until 1t became a controlling
influence of their lives.

WILSON'S MESSAGE
TO RUSS SOv|ETS
EXPRESSES SYMPATHY OF OUR
PEOPLE WITH RUSSIA IN HER
FIGHT WITH GERMANY.
President Indicates Purpose of United
States to Disregard Hard Terms
Imposed by Huns and Stands
Ready to Help Russia.

Washington.-On the eve of the
gathering at Moscow of the Russian
congress of soviets, which is to pass
Judgment on the German-made peace
accepted by the Bolshevik at Brest-
Litovsk, President Wilson has sent
message of sympathy to the Russian
people through the congress, with
pledge that the United States will avail
itself of every opportunity to aid them
in driving out autocracy and restoring
Russia to her place in the world with
complete sovereignty and independ-
ence.
The United States now recognizes
no government in Russia, but the pres
ident cabled his message to the Amerl-
can consul at Moscow for delivery to
the congress, which is made up of sol
diers' and workmens representatives
and speaks for at least considerable
part of the Russian people. The mes
sage made public on March IL, by the
state department, was as follows:
"May 1 not take advantage of the
meeting of the congress of the soyiets
to express the sincere sympathy which
the people of the United States feel
for the Russian people at this moment
when the German power has been
thrust in to interrupt and turn Jack
the whole struggle for freedom and
substitute the wishes of Germany for
the purpose of the people of Russia.
Although the government of the
United States is, unhappily, not now
in a position to render the direct and
effective aid it would wish to render,
| beg to assure the people of Russia
through the congress that it will avail
itself of every opportunity to secure
for Russia once more complete sover-
eighty and independence in her own
affairs and full restoration to her great
role in the life of Europe and the mod
ern world. The whole heart of the
people of the United States is with the
people of Russia in the attempt to free
themselves forever from autocratic
government and become the masters of
their own life. 80

"WOODROW WILSON"
Thus in his first formal word to
Russia since that revolution-torn coun-
try under the leadership of the Boil
sheviki deserted the allied cause, the
president indicates the purpose of the
United States to disregard the hard
terms upon which the German and
Austrian war loads have promised
peace to the Russians and to demand
an accounting upon very different
basis when victory at last shall be
achieved by America and the allies.

(By Joe williams,

Connie Mack has come back. Not
90 much in the spercentage table as in
the hearts of the philadelphia. fans.
And there's a chance, too, that the
slim schemer will cowe back in the
games-won-and-los figures to a
greater extent than anyone figured at
the outset of the present campaign.
It's quite true that Mack's machine
has been hanging around the cellar
sinte'the race opened. but at no time
has he been very far from fifth place,
indicating that his club is at least as
strong as several others in the league.
It's at the ~turnstiles that Mack has
pulled. his real comeback. For the
first time since the fall OF 1914 the
fans are p%atronizing his park In
great numbers. This is due in part,
Of course, to the hostility the fans
hold for the National league clubs
management which authorized the
sale of Grover Alexander and Bill
Killifer to the Chicago Cubs. But the
main reason the Athletics are attract
ing attention this year is the improv-
ed form the team has been showing.
The case Of Mack and the Athletic
fans is without a parallel in baseball.
The iconoclAatic Mack or should we
say the shrewd business q n?-ltter-
ally destroyed the temple Of his own
popularity when he wrecked his ia
