and I had terrible heart burn, with
pains in my chest and arms. My

kidneys was irregular, the secretions
scanty and scalding.

This is the time when Father
Johns Medicine will prove most eff

rebuilding food is so skillfully pre-
pared by the scientific process OF
compromising the prescription for
Father Johns Medicine that it is
quickly and easily taken up by a
weakened system and the results are
promptly evident in the increased
weight and steadily gaining strength

Innocent Bystanders"

Much has been said OF the brave
and hardy people in the days when
ones home was literally his castle.
when his life depended on the quick
ness and surety with which he could
use weapons; of the days when the
great, great grandmothers of some OF
us kept the home and dreaded the
call Of the Indian. A brave and hardy
people. indeed.
But what Of this generation? Of the
record of fifteen thousand people
killed by reason of automobiles in
this country alone last year? of mail
messengers falling from the sky in
their burning airplanes? of men,
women and children blown to bits
-. while walking the streets of our big
, gest city?
In the old days precautions were
taken. the hand and the eye were
trained. the senses we're educated SO
as to be on the alert; men and women
were taught to depend on themselves
on their quicfness of eye and sure
ness of hands. on their knowledge Of
the spoor of the bent twig or the
faint imprint on the leaf which might
betray the presence of danger. Mere
wealth of money would not afford
this protection; it was up to the in
dividual to lookout for himself AS
result of this necessity a mighty self
reliant race was produced. They
weren't bystanders. they were par

victims of that terrible outrage in
Wall street, an outrage. whether the
result of carelessness or of maniacal
tlendishness. "Bystanders Is it
too much to say that in a sense. at
first seemingly remote perhaps, they
one and all were participants? How
many OF them lived as though de-
pendent on their own selves for safe

bidding the shipping Of explosives
under those conditions were being
enforced? had felt individual respon-
sibility for incompetents and crooks
