ache, spine-ache and headaches, followed
by Irregularities and as result diseases
of the womanly organs are more common
than any one but physician in active
practice could suppose.
After long experience in the treatment
Of women's diseases, Dr. Pierce evolved a
vegetable tonic and corrective which he
called DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
This is a purely vegetable preparation,
without particle Of alcohol contained
in it.
When woman complains Of backache,
dlzzlnessor pain-when everything looks
black before her eyes-a dragging feeling,
or bearing-down, with nervousness, she
should turn to this Temperance" herbal
tonic. 1t can be obtained in almost every
drug store in the land and the ingredients
are printed in plain English on the
wrapper. Put up in tablets or liquid.
DR.. Pierce, Of lnvalids' Hotel, Buffalo,

tablets for ten cents.

Give 1t Up, Mr.. Knox

n URING the final weeks of the war, when
- the allies were pounding merciessly at
the German lines, the general staff Of the Ger
man army sent in hurry call for General
Won Boehm, a master Of strategic retreat.
He was summoned to organize the backward
movement, to conduct the rearward operations
of the gigantic force. He is what one might
call the retreat specialist" or the expert
back-tracker."
When Senators Knox and Lodge found the
other day that they could not hope to pass
the Knox resolution divorcng the league of
nations covenant from the peace treaty, they
put in an emergency call for former Senator
Elihu Root the retreat artist of the Repub-
lican party. He was asked to rush down to
Washington to consult with the defeated gen.
erals OF the Senate majority on how to ex-
trcate their army from precarious position;
how TO save their faces and make the country
understand that defeat was not necessarily
disaster.
The parallel between the two situations is
interesting. But Germany failed to save itself
from being overwhelmed 1t was forced to
surrender Notwithstanding the Won Boehms
and all the other military masters. 1t now
is swallowing a sickening peace and will
spend many generations ruling the day when
1t set out on unholy campaign for the
conquest of the world.
Senator knoxs resolution is facing exactly
dorse the measure, party. His Republican
associates are breaking away from him one and
two at time. The majority vote he had
reason TO expect at the outset Is now mani
fest impossibility. A week ago he lost hope
of that, but still assumed that there would
be far more than third Of the Senators who
would stand with him. But there is now no
certainty even of this.
1t is this circumstance which brought about
the inner party conferences with Senator
Root, Chairman Will II. Hays and other ex-
pert strategists. The Senate Republicans do
not know how to save themselves the NORTH
cation not only of defeat, but of utter rout
They do not know how to get out of the hole
into which they have lowered themselves
The graceful thing for Senator Knox to do
is TO withdraw his resolution. 1t Is not
enough that it should bs indefinitely laid
aside, as has been agreed to. That would
keep it nominally on the Senate calendar as
an issue and provide preteXt for certain
incendiary Senators like Reed and Sherman
10 keep on laundering away every time
fresh thought entered their minds To lay
the measure aside with the understanding that
no vote on 1t would be called for is a childish
way OF accepting defeat. The manly way to
act is 10 demand a vote and see the resolution
cast out OF the legislative program or to
Withdraw it, thereby saving all the unwilling
followers OF the able Pennsylvania the
chagrin which they would experience by being
voted down.
Senator Knox is not gutter by nature
or by inclination, and the chances are that
he Will either demand a record vote at some
future time, or ask the privilege of withdraw
ing his Inflated resolution
