Can you Blame Her.

Folks have said that sympathy
was cheap. Any old duck. they
said, could sympathize with another
in trouble, but it took a real hon
human being to
lend a helping hand.
All last week Violet Smith had
been sick. She had a pain every
where that il was possible to have
one.
Every day and also at night
George Small called on Violet and
told her he was sorry that she was
sick. BY and by this line of talk
got on violet's nerves and really
made her sicker.
So when he came around Tuesday
night Violet had a plan all fixed
She would get something else be-
sides sympathy.
When the poor fellow got up the
next morning he missed his watch,
his wallet and his handbook. He
was stunned.
When he came to he got a war
rant for Violet. Sick or no sick,
she was hauled in to the lookup.
She got we'll all of a sudden.
OF course we may think in our
own mind that the poor girl was
justified, but there is nothing on
the law book that allows such
tricks.
Besides getting plenty of sym
party. and Georges bankroI and
watch, Violet drew a sixty day visit
to Mr.. Whitaker at Occoauan.
4 Mysterious Thrashing,
Monday night five or six men
were sitting around a stove in the
parlor of Howard Browns house on
F street southwest.
After a little sQuirmiag around
they finally settled down for the
night At ten o'clock, John Carter,
one OF the bunch. suggested a crap
game.
This was promptly overruled, be-
cause John was the only man who
had money. The rest knew that he
was an expert and kept shy of him,
However. this suggestion aroused
the sleepy bunch to wakefulness.
They began to talk. First about
shooting crap and then about the
women.
Frank Lewis started by extoll-
ing the virtues of his new-found
love Then someone else picked up
where he left off and told about his
Sweetheart.
The talk dragged on for about
an hour or so. When eyerything
got quiet again, Francis Martin.
who had been sitting quietly in the
corner saying nothing, suddenly
sprung up and landed on Frank
Lewis's face with both feet.
In court Francis refused to ex-
plain. He was fined $40.

The Chicago branch of the Security
League held a meeting last night at
which resolutions were passed urging
the selection Of war leaders to adhere
10 the plan OF "waRing war as war
makers should" Several of the Con-
sressional leaders were asked to send
messages to be read at the affair. but
delayed telegraphic service prevented
some Of them from doing so.
One of the amazing things-yet its
very human after all-is the fact that
many very conscientious and intelli-
gent people have made trips to our
army camps and yet they disagree
most markedly over their reports as
to conditions. Poor Congress is asked
to do things favorable to each side.
But il cannot and it will not, saws

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight a German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not
be afraid. The influenza runs a very
brief course when the patient is care

condition and throw off the poisons
which tend to accumulate within our
bodies. we can escape the disease. Re-
member these three C's-a clean
mouth. clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off piosons from the system
and keep the bowels loose, daily doses
of a pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such a one is made of May-apple,
leaves of aloe, root of jalap. and called
DIR. Pierces Pleasant Pellets. Hot
lemonade should be used freely if at
tackled by a cold. and the patient
should be put to bed after hot mus
tard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis
or pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at
the drug store, and one given every
two hours. with lemonade The Anuric

away much of the poisons and the uric

1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resis-
lance. The fever is diminished by the
use of the Anuric tablets, but in addi-
ton, the forehead, arms and hands
