Vigorous Men and

If your ambition has left you, your happiness has gone forever unless you take advantage of J. D. Eartigan and Hindle Pharmacy's magnificent offer to refund your money on the first box purchased if Wendell's Ambition Pills do not put your entire system in fine condition and give you the energy and vigor you have lost.
 Be ambitious, be strong, be vigor- ous. Bring the ruddy glow of health to your cheeks and the right sparkle that denotes perfect manhood and wOmanhood to your eyes.
 WendeH's Ambition Pills, the great nerve tonic, are splendid for that tired feeling, nervous troubles, poor blood, headaches. neuralgia, restlessness, trembling. nervous -prostration, men tai depression, loss of appetite and kidney or liver complaints.
 You take them with this under standing that: In two days you will feel better. In a week you will feel fine, and after taking one box you will have your old-time confidence and ambition or the druggist will refund the price of the box.
 Be sure and get a 50 cent box to- day and get out of the rut. Remem- Der J. D. Hartigan and Hindle Phar- macy and dealers everywhere are au- thorized to guarantee them.-Adv.

FIRST NATION WIDE POLL ON
 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

DO you favor the proposed Lea que of Nations?" is the question The Literary Digest asked the editor of every daily newspaper in the United States. The replies from 1877 of them are quoted, classified, and tab ulated in this weeks issue of The Digest, with the comment that run ming through the great mass of re- plies, you have the sensation of touching something hot" Many of the replies show strong feeling one way or the other. On the face of the returns the poll shows a large num- erical preponderance of affirmative replies, but The Literary Digest points with emphasis to the fact that it regards the poll as only a straw vote. It proves nothing in a final way" Editors often qualify their re- plies with such phrases as, Believe the community puzzled" '"Too early to judge; opinion has not yet crystal ized." But the report of this sensa- tional press-polI makes decidedly in teresting reading for both advocates and opponents of the proposed Lea que of Nations.''

INCREASED NUMBER
 IN AGRICULTURE.

Washington, April 1.-The report of the first 1915 cases of disabled soldiers approved for retraining by the Federal Board of Vocational Ed 1cation shows that 245 selected agri- cultural training in sOme of its var ious branches and specializations. These compare almost identically with the selection in commerce, in- dustries trades and professions, and indicate a growing Interest on the part of disabled men.
 While the number of those elect ing agricultural education and re- taining have not approached the per centage of those electing agricultur- al education in other nations, it is predicted hy an officer of the United States Department of Agriculture that there will be a very great in- crease within the next thirty to sixty days of those selecting agriculture. the event Of spring averting q psy- cholog.cal effect upon the men.
 The great advance in the inven- ton and manufacture of agriculture machinery has placed agriculture as an industry on q par with all others; 1t is tho leading industry and Is re- presented today by 51 per cent com pared to 49 per cent representing all other industries combined. The inn portance os agriculturel machinery has placed farm mechanics among the most prominent features of agri- culture. and at the same time gives an opening in q new profession of great importance to disabled soldiers who have had experience with the tank, the truck, the automobile, and other lines of machinery. Such ex- perience, coupled with vocational training In a short intensive course as offered by the Federal Board. will prepare the rehabilitated soldier to efficiently meet the demands created by modern development in farm machinery. The call for specialized trained men Is constantly increasing.

THE 'UNVVRITTEN LAW"

The first murder trifl of national interest in which the 'unwritten law" figured as a defense was com menced in New York sixty years ago today The defendant was Daniel Ed gar Sickles, who was charged with having shot and killed Philip Barton Key. It was alleged that Key had been intimate with the wife of Sick les. The "unwritten law" which was alleged to justify a man in staying the despoiler Of his home was ap- pealed to by the counsel for the ac- Cused man. The trial lasted twenty days and resulted in a, verdict of ac- uuittal Sickles later became a gen. eral in the Civil War and lost leg at Gettysburg. In 1870 Daniel Me Farland was acquitted of murder by a New York jury on similar grounds, hut of later years the "unwritten law" has fallen into disrepute in most of the states.
