GOING BACK TO NATURE.
DY DIR. W. LUCAS

People get sick because they 90 away
rom Nature, and the only way TO get
yell is to 20 back. Something grows out
# the ground in the .1rm of vegetation
cure almost every i'll Some Of these
vegetable growths are understood by
nan, and some are not Animals, it
would seem, know what to 10 when
hey are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
lick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
iood and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which, when
,ound and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals DO this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, y. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
'ided by Nature to overcome constipa-
ion, and he had these vegetables col.
ected and made up OF Mayapple, leaves
If Aloe, root of Jalap, into little white
ugar coated pills, that he called Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your lntestines
Ire stopped Up, poisons aud decayed
natter are imprisoned in your system,
md these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does
1our head ache, you get dizzy, you
,an't sleep, your skin may break out,
1our appetite declines, you get tired
md respondent. As a matter OF fact,
}ou may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is
All that is often needed is a few OF
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he
las placed in all drug stores for your
convenience and health, Try them by
Ill means. They are probably the very
hing you need right now.

Charge That Traffic Had Been
Slowed Up Is PrepoSterouSii
Promotion for Railroad En-

Washington, FEB. 19.--Cognizance
o. charges by railroad employees that
the managements have attempted to
discredit government operation, was
taken today by officials continuing
their submission of information to the
railroad wage commission.
e. T. Whittier, of Pittsburg. assist
ant general manager of the Pennsyl-
vania lines, west in effect, denied the
allegations.
at was charged that we put an
inefficient yardmaster in charge at
Alliance, Ohio, resulting in serious
delays Mr.. Whittier said. There
have been a number of changes. in
yardmasters there and 1 do not know
which one was referred to, but If the
commission desires further informa-
ton we will aid them in obtaining it,
Commissioner Covington said he
did not think the commission could
take the time to sift an isolated case.
'As to slowing up traffic, which
also is charged the witness contin-
ued that would not be possible
without issuing order to train de-
spatchers and / believe the commits
SION has had sufficient evidence from
the despatchers themselves to con-
vince you that was not done"
Mr.. Whittier was one of six officials
who today presented statistics as to
wage increases and working eondi-
tons ON their individual systems.
The others were:
J. T. Latimer. Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy; F. G.. Nicholson, Chica-
go and Eastern Illinois; c. II, Me
meyer, Pennsylvania Lines, East: F.
l.. King, Southern Pacific, and E. C.
Wills, Missouri Pacific. Scarcity OF
La Dor was reported by several Off
Gals
All of the officials denied charges
that promotion for railroad employees
is slow, SO that mans chance to OBJ
tain better pay by advancing in grade
Is small. Most Of the mspoke of their
own experiences, all having started
in minor positions.
Wage increases We're declared to
have been as frequent as the roads
resources permitted.

Fate Of Alleged Slayer Of
Thomas Lyons Is Expected
to Be Placed in Jury's
Hands by Thursday Night,

fsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREl
Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 19.-Both the
state and the defense closed their
cases late today in the trial of Felix
Jones for the murder of Thomas
Lyons and the case is expected to be
given to the Jury not later than
Thursday night.
Contrary to general belief, Jones
did not take the stand in his own de-
fense and the last day of taking test
imony was the most uninteresting of
the trial, the attorneys for the state
and defense introducing witnesses in
an effort to break down the oppos-
ing sides claims by means Of rebut-
tai.
Little new was developed today.
The charge to the jury will be given
tomorrow morning by Judge Walter
p. Howe after which arguments viii
be begun. These are expected to oc-
cupy all of two days.

Must GiUe Up Sugar
Card When Applying
FOrDeath Certificate
ASSOCIATED Pres. Correspondence

London, Jan, FL Before you can
be buried in England your sugar card
must be produced. The registrar of
vital statistics before he issues cer-
tificate of DEATH is required to make
certain whether the dead person was
registered under the sugar distribu-
ton scheme. This is done, 1t is said,
to prevent fraud, as unscrupu1ous per-
sons might continue to use a dead
mans sugar card for a long time un-
less some means were taken of can
ceiling it.
The registrar not only cancels a
sugar card in case of death, but also
issues this important document To
anybody who registers a birth.

Central Body Needed.
"Any one who examines closely the
events of 1916 and 1877" said the
premier, would find plenty of argu-
ment for some change in the machin-
cry In order to effect greater concen-

achieved. In that direction the al
lied governments had decided that it
was necessary to set up some control
body to coordinate the strategy Of
the allies. AT the last conference at
Versailles 1t was decided to extend
the powers of that body.
The premier explained that he was
hampered in discussing the action
taken at Versailles by a resolution
passed at that conference by the mill

give any information regarding the
general plan arrived at
