In Nebraska,sat least. they can't push Bryan
around with impunity. They may roll up .
majority against him in the cities, but the
cities are few and when returns from the back
districts come in it is another story. Bryan's
apparent ,xictory over Senator Hitchcock for
delegate to the national convention does not
mean that Nebraskans favor ratification Of the
treaty with reServations. 1t does not neces-
sarily imply that they are for prohibition.
Neither is it a serious reelection upon the loser.
They're still for Bryan because he helps to
keep the state on the map and because 80 many
have come in personal contact with him and
felt the persuasive power Of his logic and his
magnetism: Bryan US the issue. and nothing
else,

not seen her for about eight years.
Please tell me how l can make
him enjoy my company without

Will it be all right for us to
leave as soon as We are married?
YANKEE BLUES.
The young man may have mel
anchoiy nature. in which case it
will always be difficult for YOU to
keep him cheerful. Advise him to

ries. He is probably homesick,
which is the cause OF the blues.
Both of you are so young that the
marriage should not be hurried.
1t will be all right for you to go
away as soon as you are married.

An adult who had suffered for
years with an annoyance attributed
to irritability of the bladder-an
abnormal frequency whiclf at times
became a handicap-discovered at
last what was the matter. The pa
tient had consulted numerous ply
sicians and urelogists, none OF
whom was able to determine the
cause or nature of the trouble.
Finally the patients family physi-
clan happened to mention the un-
toward or by-effects Of the physic
habit, which remark prompted the
patient to speak Of a habit of TAX
ing every night an herb" physic,
a habit which had been followed
for just about the duration of the
bladder trouble. The herb" tab
let's contain a good dash of aloes,
together with the other horse medi-
cines which make up practically all
"liyer pills" and herb" teas and
such junk-jalap, colocynth, a
sprinkle of everything cheap. These
drugs. unfortunately, are not spe-
cific in effect; that is. they do not
merely produce congestion and ir-
Yitation of the bowel-and conse-
Iquent evacuation of cramp-but
also> they cause irritation Of the
kidneys and bladder and of the
ether pelvic organs in both sexes
In this particular instance the with
drawal Of the daily dose of herb
physic promptly and permanently
relieved the bladder trouble with
which the misguided patient had
suffered several years.
l. sometimes wonder how many
thousands Of drug-taking victims
of constipation suffer in other ways
from their drug habit? The crude
stuff dispensed in ''liver" pills
vegetable" tablets and herb" teas
undoubtedly produces many symp-
toms which prove obstinate and
discouraging, and the ridiculous
part Of it all is that the poor vic
tim Of the physic habit is quite
likely to TRY" this and that nos
trum which purports to be good fo'
what he or she imagines may be
wrong-mostly she.
A powerful factor in the wide
spread physic habit is the fool no.

Patricia.
1t can truthfully be stated, with
out fear of punning. that Patricia
is a patrician name. 1t signifies
noble" and comes from the Latin
pater, father" which was the
source Of ''patria," the father
land
The patriot was the privileged
class of old Rome since its mem
bers were descended from the ORR
ginal 80 fathers. or patres. Patri-
Gus, meaning the noble, was the
title given to the young Roman
British Calpurnius, who was stolen
by Irish pirates in his youth and
when ransomed returned as an
apostle to the land of his captors,
bringing the name Of Patrick.
which is 80 popular and so revered
in Ireland, in memory Of the pa
iron saint.

THE APRIL RAIN.

The rain is ruler Of the land today;
It's empire is the moist and muddy ground;
It drove the children homeward from their play;
No pleasure out Of doors today Is found.
Yet there 10 music in the April rain,
Melodious the sound of falling showers;
They sing to me Of summers golden grain,
OF friendly grass and sweet delight OF flowers.
When in my life the sorrow time shall be.
when Disappointment DER my days shall
reign,
When binding tears obscure the sun for me.
And all is loss that promised to be gain:
I'll strive to bear that grief all patiently
Since fruitful summer follows April rain.
