FRIENDS ONE COULD SPARE
Most of Us Have at Some Time Suffer ed at the Hands of Unthinkinq
 Persons.

The fellow who buttonholes you, or picks hairs off your coat, and maybe winks a roguish sort of wink, isn't In 1t with the shoulder hitter and crazy bone crusher. He doesn't appear to be afraid of your breaking away, but wants to be confidential and intimate.
 Then there is the fellow who per sists in trying to keep in front of you He necessarily crowds you to the edge of the sidewalk or to the wall.
 His understudy Is the chap who tries to keep step with you without being able to get your step. Taking about three steps to your two he is forever losing the step and forever trying to catch 1t. When you try to accommo- date your step to his you are apt to find him trying to accommodate his step to yours, so that you only muss up bad mess.
 Don't kill 'em. Heaven is just and they get what's coming to them; may be not as hot as you would serve 1t, but they'll get 1t all right
 There are those who persist in talk ing when we don't want to talk, nor to be talked to. And there are others, notably those who persist in talking when we want to talk ourselves. It is difficult to say which of these Is the worse bore.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
 FOR TIE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. ekilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine
 It is a physicians prescription.
 Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and 1t should help you. No other kidney medi- cine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. hilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

Red-blooded men of courage are on the firing line-and there are many anemic, weak, discouraged men and women left at home.
 At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired. worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes ''pimply'' or pale skin.
 Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo~ pie, those with pale cheeks and lips, who have poor appetite and feel that tired, worn or feverish condition in the springtime of the year, should try the refreshing tonic powers of a good al- terative and blood purifier. Such one is extracted from Blood root, Golden Seal and Stone root, Queens root and Oregon Grape root, made up with chemically pure glycerine and without the use of alcohol. This can be ob- tained in ready-to-uSe tablet form in sixty-cent vials, as druggists have sold it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a standard remedy that can be obtained In tablet or liquid form.
 A good purge should be taken once a week even by persons who have movement daily, in order to eliminate matter which may remain and cause a condition of standardization, poison ing the whole system. To clean the system at least once week is to prac- tice health measures. There is nothing so good for this purpose as tiny pills made up of the May-apple, leaves of aloe and jalap, and sold by almost all druggists in this country as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated. aocv to tolyo

Every person ana every organiZa- ton, in fact, the whole people, judg- ing from what has been said and written on the subject, are in favor of having congress make provision for utilizing the immense water power in this country which is now going to waste. By petitions, memorials, votes of organizations and other ac- tivities, congress is besieged to make provision for harnessing the millions in water power that now run wild"
 For many years propositions have been pending in congress to carry out this very idea, the utilization of the water power of the country for manu- facturing, making electric light, and using 1t for whatever is necessary. sometimes the senate passes a bill 1 and sometimes the house passes a bill for utilizing water power. The two bills are never alike; in fact. the differences between the senate and house on this subject have been so pro- nounced that 1t has been impossible to enact legislation of any kind.
 Recently the administration has taken hold of the subject and a bill has been prepared by three different de- partments interested. the war depart ment, the interior department and the agricultural department. The house has gone to the extent of creating a water power committee, made up of men from three different committees of the house, who are supposed to be in control of various phases of water

Make Your Money Help.

Now put it to yourself straight. If the thing was a little nearer to you so that you really saw your neigh bor's son actually without food be- cause you had declined to give it to him, you would not hesitate for a mo- ment what to do. The difficulty Is here, that the thing is on so large scale that you do not realize that your failure to lend your money to-the gov ernment is going to result very prob- ably in depriving that particular boy of things he needs. You can say, If you like, there are so many millions of them that it will be some other fel- lows son that will go without. I hope you won't get much comfort out of that, because 1t is the same old thing. You would not hurt him either if you saw him and knew he was in want; but because you don't see him, because he is somewhere in France, you for get about him and don't stop to think that he wants a thing you would not hesitate to give him if you knew him.
 Why hesitate, then, to lend your dol lars to the government? They are the only thing that can really do this busi- ness. They are the only thing that can put tools into the boys hands over there to kill the Germans with. Don't hesitate any longer now; get it straight, and go down and buy bond and feel better about 1t for the rest of your life.

After a man has been in the senate for term or two, he generally mas developed into an incurable opytmist or an incurable cynic-or often a mixture of the two. There is no place like the senate chamber for breeding sarcasm, and not a day goes by with out some ironlc references having been made. Senator Gore of Oklahoma re- marked recently that an appropriation of $100,000 for the eradication of a certain potato disease, which had been included in former agricultural bills was not a part of the 191S-19 bill as the disease had finally been stamped out.
 "Ahw interjected Senator Gallinger. '"That is one of the most remarkable things that has ever been brought to my attention-that an appropriation disappeared from the bill the succeed ing year."

power legislation. This committee for several months has had an opportu nifty to consider the administration bill, but so far has not been able to report a measure.
 The same old question of differences still exists. The senate. and particu- larly the men from the Western states, have their own ideas as to water-pow- CT legislation, and they are very loath to consent to measures which are sup ported by the house which have gen. erally had the backing of national ad- ministrations. That Is the reason why there Is no water-power legislation en- acted.

In times such as these there are bound to be explosions. Several weeks ago everything was running along smoothly, and then there was the Chamberlain explosion, which result ed h several days of ardent debate of a more or less partisan nature. Then the country settled down and Wash ington seemed to be very quiet, when all at once the senate blew up with a bang. Senator Lodge lifted the lid and ottror--,crrst1ors rufIoWeu m severe criticism of the failure to properly put the army in fighting trim and fur nish 1t with all the implements that 1t needed.
 No doubt the last explosion was due to the nervous condition of senators who were just then feeling very ap- prehensive on account of the great German drive. Probably there will be similar explosions as the war pro gresses, for it Is not in the order of things for everybody to be satisfied with the conduct of the war.

ATTORNEY GENERAL INFORMED PEOPLE ARE READY TO RE-
 WYE LYNCH LAW.
ARE TIRED OF DISLoYALTY
"ExpIosions" in Senate Probably Are Due to Nervous Condition of Sena- tors, as We'll as to Politics, and More May Be Expected.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington. Attorney General Gregory has been advised by his fel-. low cabinet officers to enforce the eS- pionage law with 2, great deal of vigor, and to leave nothing undone to stop German propaganda, to secure Ger man spies, and to squelch disloyalty wherever found. He has been told that unless the government takes viz orous action to prosecute It's enemies within It's borders, there will be d reign of lynch law, and that German sympathizers will be found adorning lamp posts or suspended from the limbs of trees.
 Men who circulate among the peo- pie, and particularly large number of officials who come in contact with people from all over the country and have sources of information from all sections, say that the people of this country are very much disturbed on account Of the signs of disloyalty which are constantly cropping out in different places. More particularly was this brought out on account of the success which the Germans achieved in the great offensive on the western front, True Americans were sincerely depressed at that time, and 1t made them boil with anger to see or hear expressions of exultation on the part of people who have been sheltered under the Stars and Stripes for many years, whether they be American citizens or aliens.
 It Is believed that the department of justice has instructed it's agents in all parts of the country te use the utmost vigilance in suppressing dis loyalty to this country.
