Does Not Remove Stain.

From St. Louis Times. Republican
Gov. Hyde's review of the case
OF Mr.. Steinbeck of Union, man,
ed as Secretary Of the Tax
Commission, not only fails to re-
move the stain from the record
of Mr.. Steinbeck, but it casts a
reflection on thousands of A.
mericans of German birth OF de-
scent in Missouri who zealousIy
upheld their country's cause af-
ter war was declared. Only an
lnfinitesimal percentage was ar-
rested in Missouri. Consequent
ly the honoring of one who was
indicted, did not plead either
guilty or not guilty and accent
ed a judgment and paid a fine
OF $500 for violation of some
part of the espionage act with
out contention, is an insult rath-
er than an honor to the loyal
Americans of German birth or
ancestry, who threw all they
had into the struggle for the
victory of the American cause.
Why, if Gov. Hyde wished to
show appreciation of such mag
nificent patriotism, in spite of
the call of the blood, did not he
select some member of their
rank conspicuous in army or
civil life? Why take up an edi-
tor who paid a fine of 5000 and
left a stain on his record in
stead of insisting on a trial and,
II necessary. taking his case to
the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States? Any citizen who
would rest under such a cloud
without doing all he could to
remove it, is not the sort to
pick out for distinguished hon
or.
Or perhaps Gov. Hyde's elab-
crate explanation is intended

NERVOUS CHILDREN

There is much criticism OF modern
educational methods that require toe
much work of school children. allow,
ing them too little time for play and
preventing sufficient out-of-door exer
else. When the study of music or any
other accomplishment, with the neces'
sary practice, is added, the strain is
increased.
Under these conditions the blood be-
comes impoverished and fails to nour-
ish the nerves. The child becomes rest
less, and twitching of the muscles fol-
lows. Sometimes the child stumbles in
walking and drops what it tries to
hold. Pallor, listlessness, inattention,
restlessness and irritabiity are symp-
toms that early show that the blood
and nerves are failing to met the de-
mands made upon them.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, a safe tonic
for children, will build up the blood,
strengthen the nerves and help TO meet
the demands of the growing child. Suf-
fcient out of door exercise, nourishing
food and ten hours sleep each day,
with these tonic pills, will correct even
long standing cases of st. Vitus' dance
and will calm the nerves of the most
irritable child.
