THE SPRING DRIVE

Our boys are going "Over the top"
and into mo mans land" this spring.
No one has any doubt Of their ability
to get there. There will also be q
spring drive on this side of the ocean.
because March is the years "blue Mon
day." It is the most fatal month Of the
year. March and April is time when
resistance usually is at lowest ebb. It
is q trying season for the rundown"
man. But medical science steps in, and
says, ut need not be-! We should cul.
tivate q love Of health, q sense OF re-
sponsibility for the care Of our bodies.
Do not allow the machinery Of the body
to clog. Put the stomach and liver in
proper condition. Take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, to be had at
most drug stores in tablet or liquid
form, tablets sixty-cents a vial, COM
posed of native herbs. This puts the
stomach and liver in proper condition.
You may be pl0dding along, no spring,
no elasticity, no vim. but as soon as you
have put the body into its normal physi-
cal cOndition-oiled the machinery, as
1t were-you will find new vim, vigOr
and vitality within you. A little pep"
and we laugh and live. Try it now.
Send DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, N. T., 1Oc. for
trial package. A little energy will save
the day. The prime necessity Of life Is
health. With spirit and energy you
have the power to force yourself into
action. The Golden Medical Discovery
Is the spring tonic which you need.

Beautiful Surgeons.

''The girls Of India make the finest
surgeons in the world" according to
DR.. Mary Riggs Noble of Colorado, re-
Gently returned from India, where she
has been professor Of surgery in the
wOman's medical college of Ludhiana.
Doctor Noble is giving course of
lectures in Kansas City on patriotism
and the Woman" particularly the
young woman.
1.-THE tremendous need for doctors in
India" said Doctor Noble, "has helped
to produce them, for the yelled women
Of the East will not have man. physi-
clans to attend them, and many have
died rather than be treated by man.
During the awful plague that ragged
in one Of their cities few years ago
ten thousand women lost their lives
because Of the lack of woman physi-
clans and nurses to attend them.

Rapid Penmen's Records.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended In
writing letter. A rapid penman can
write 30 words in minute. To do this
he must Araw his pen through the
space of 1914 feet. In 40 minutes his
pen travels furlOng, and in five hours
a third Of mile. In writing an average
word the penman makes in the neigh.
borhood Of 16 curves of the pen. Thus
in writing 80 words to the minute his
pen would make 4S0 curves, 2S.8OI
curves in an hour. and S6.4OOOOO in a
year Of 300 days of ten hours each.
The man who succeeded in making l..
100000 marks with pen In a month
was not at all remarkable. Many men
make 100000 while writing.

AFTER EFFECTS
OF MEASLES
Mother, Who Lives in Tennessee
Mountains Where Black Draught
Is Relied On in Many Troubles,
Says It Made Her Boy,
Sound and Well.

Coal Creek, Tenn.-Up in the noun
tains, quite some distance from town,
lives Mrs. q. s. Fritts, who relates
her experience with Thedford's Black
Draught as follows:
my little boy, james, took sick
with diarrhea. about five years ago,
and was badly swollen. He had the
measles and this was, no doubt. an
after-effect. I made him we'll by CIV
ing him Thedford's Black-Draught l
gave 1t to him three times a day for
a month. I firmly believe 1t saved
his life.
We always keep Black-Draught in
our house. It is our doctor. Always
easy to get and prompt in giving re-
lief.
A small pinch Of Black-Draught
after each meal and at bed time for
headache, stomach and liver trouble,
and we are well the next morning.
It certainly works wonders some
times and saves no end Of trouble, re-
lieves pain. and there is no need for
another doctor.
I have recommended Black-Draught
to all my neighbors and will continue
to recommend it."
Thedford's Black-Draught Is pure,
vegetable herb liver medicine, acting
gently, yet promptly, on liver and bow
els.
Thousands Of people, everywhere,
have found 1t to relieve constipation,
Indigestion, biliousness and many
similar disorders.
Try Black-Draught. Your druggist
sells it.-Adv.

fOWRONG THOUGHT
Is Due Responsibility for Human
Sorrow and Suffering.
Story Of Young Man Hidden Under
Smoking Ledge Points a Moral for
All of Us, Especially In These
Troubled Times.

Have you read the story? A trapper
amid the snow-hushed hills OF western
Massachusetts spied smoke issuing
from a ledge Of rocks in the depths OF
a dense forest. He did not know what
to make of it. All sorts of fearsOme
notions beset him as he ventured on
attempts to solve the mystery. But
when he had summoned help and they
went in at the opening detected, bear
ing lanterns and all hands armed to
meet whatever might be encountered,
they discovered lone man bending
over q small fire in the act OF roasting
bit of meat. And they learned from
him that he was living there to escape
the service men are summoned to rem
der In war time!
The mystery Of the smoking ledge
would serve somebody we'll to point
a moral or adorn tale. For most Of
life's experiences that puzzle and trou-
BILE us mOrtals are much like this OF
tha smoking ledge. We conjure up no
end Of dire thoughts about them
about diseases. disasters and especial
ly such distresses as are now come on
the world, when the whole Of civilized
life Is like smoking ledge. We think
OF nature as malign, Of fatcful evil
powers as lying in ambush against us.
even Of God himself as causing things
which cOnfound us as we 60 the rounds
of common life. But by and by we dis
cover, in one instance after another,
that precisely what alarm and puzzle
and trouble us nre really due to some
human alteration from right doing. We
are wrong in thinking that fate or ma
ture or God are responsible for the
mysteries of suffering and sorrow. The
truth is that some human being who
has gone wrong is down under most Of
the smoking lodges that mystify us.
To get this clear in ones mind is OF the
greatest importance, especially in times
like these.
This young man hid under the srnok-
ing ledge told story wildly signifi-
cant. He was there to escape the duty
of all when all that we cherish Is i'm
periled. He confessed that he had
crept out at night to buy food in a
town miles away--he couldn't subsist
without drawing on the common pro-
visions for welfare which are now in
jeopardy. He acknowledged having
been obliged by illness In his cave to
60 and secretly spend a week in no
tells comfOrt-he would have died like
q wild animal but for such shelter In
the established order he was refusing
to help maintain. He had even tramp
ed far through the snow on a winter
night to peer through a window at his
sisters family. happy around their
homes bright f1replace-his mans
heart. craven as 1t was, longed for
glimpse Of those sanctities which
sOund-headed men are now going forth
to safeguard. Food. shelter. the realm
Of love! These are the primary human
imperatives. as even the man under
the smoking ledge bears witness. And
these. with many other blessings, are
now put in peril by ruthless foes, over
seas and here at home as truly. Could
anything show the folly and wrong Of
failing to defend them more strikingly
than the story Of this man under the
smoking ledge Boston Herald.
