Remembering It, Man Was Quite Will.
Ing to Agree That Good Things
May Be Overdone.
Speaking at a political gathering,
Representative C. Cantrill of Kentucky
referred to the danger of overdoing
things, and happily recalled the follow-
ing story:
Recently a serious-minded man was
conversing with a friend who looked
rather lightly on the subject in hand.
“Don’t you know, my dear man,”
said the serious one, “that sometimes
a virtue can be exaggerated until it
becomes a vice?”
“I certainly do,” readily admitted the
other. “Aces, for instance.”
“Aces!” responded the serious one.
“I don’t quite understand.”
“It’s just this way,” smilingly ex-
plained the second. “Four of them are
a blessing greatly to be admired, while
five of them create all kinds of dissen-
sion.”—Philadelphia Evening Tele
graph.
Had a Grievance.
During vacation Charlie was invited
to a birthday party by Lucy, one of his
little mates. Forgetting the date, he
went the day after. His mother dressed
him up in his best clothes and started
him off. When he rang the bell, Lucy’s
mother came to the door, and
she said: “Why, Charlie, why didn’t
you come to Lucy’s party yesterday?”
“I forgot it and thought it was to-
day.”
Going into the dining room, she came
out with an orange and some candy,
and said: “You must go home now. I
am expecting company.”
When he got home he looked so dis-
consolate his mother said: “Why did
you come home so soon? Are you
sick ?”.
“No. Lucy’s mother didn’t treat me
with expect.”

People Requested to Pledge
by June
28 to Invest in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, or Other Government
Securities.
Washington, D. C.—To save mate-
rials and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans “to buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency,” and to volun-
teer on or before June 28, National
Thrift day, to invest systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
“This war is one of nations—not of
armies,” said the president, “and all
of our 100,000,000 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
“The problem before us is not pri-
marily a financial problem, but rather
a problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
“The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
tion of young and old in a national
thrift movement. I therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor, only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ
ual health and efficiency.
“Buy More U. S. Securities."
“The securities issued by the treas-
ury department are,.so many of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us.
“I appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like-
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov-
ernment.
Philadelphia, Pa.—‘‘I was very weak,
always tired, my back ached, and I felt
sickly most of the
time. I went to a
doctor and he said
I had nervous indi-
gestion, which ad-
ded to my weak
condition kept me
worrying most of
the time— and he
said if I could not
stop that, I could
not get well. I
heard so muchabout

„Vegetable Com-
pound my husband wanted me to try it
I took it fora week and felt a little bet-
ter. I kept it up for three months, and
I feel fine and can eat anything now
without distress or nervousness. ‘‘—Mrs.
Je Worthline, 2842 North Taylor St,
Philadelphia Pa.
The majority of mothers nowadays
overdo, there are so many demands
upon their time and strength; the result
is invariably a weakened, run-down,
nervous condition with headaches, back-
ache, irritability and depression—and
soon more serious ailments develop.
It is at such periods in life that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will
restore a normal healthy condition, as
it did to Mrs. Worthline.
Capt. Norman Thwaites of the Brit-
ish intelligence department said in
New York the other day:
“The sugar shortage is felt keenly
over the water. It’s odd how you miss
your sugar over there. You long for
it as you’d long for tobacco.
“A Bayswater special constable hur-
ried home from his beat at the Marble
Arch the other evening to be present
at a very interesting occasion, and, as
he sat in his library in the small hours,
the nurse came to him and said:
“ ‘It’s all right, sir,’
“The Bayswater man swallowed; he
moistened his dry lips; then he asked;
“ ‘Is it a boy?’
The nurse smiled soothingly.
“ ‘One of ’em’s a boy, sir,’ she said.
“And the Bayswater man, instead of
turning pale or smothering an oath, as
he’d probably done in peace time, ut-
tered a glad cry of joy.
“‘Thank heavens!’ he exclaimed.
‘That gives us two extra sugar ra-
tions.’ ”

Calomel Users! Listen To Me!
I Guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone
Your druggist gives back your money if it doesn’t
liven your liver and bowels and straighten
you up without making you sick.
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s
horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous
drug tonight and tomorrow you may
lose a day’s work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug-
gish and “all knocked out,” if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coat-
ed tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour, just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale
of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
it cannot salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn’t
gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

SAMARITAN RACE NEAR END
War May Wipe Out Remnant of An.
cient Tribe in the
Holy Land.
Pittsburgh, Pa.—The last remnant of
the ancient Samaritan race may be
wiped out of existence, according to
E. K. Warren, president of the Inter-
national Sunday School association.
Mr. Warren, in his Sunday school la-
bors in the Holy Land, found the lit-
tle band of people whose ancestors
made up the great northern division of
the kingdom of the Jews. There were
162 persons in the group, and he has
not heard a word from them in 18
months. Mr. Warren said the race
dwindled down because it would not
intermarry. Two-thirds of the group
were men and of these 24 were draft-
ed by the Turkish government for mil.
itary service.
GIRLS DO OWN GARDENING

College.
South Hadley, Mass.—Mount Holy-
oke college, one of the large girl’s
colleges of the East, will be self-sup-

is concerned, if plans of the student
farmers succeed. The needs of the
student body for the year is estimated
at 2,000 bushels of potatoes and 5,000
cans each of corn, beans and tomatoes.
The girl farmers are planting gardens
to .cover this demand.
UNCLE SAM HARD ON TRAMPS

Albany, N. Y.—Uncle Sam is severe

Mothers, Don’t Wail.
Mothers, write more cheerful letters
to your sons in uniform! They need
messages of encouragement, not dole-

ers of the awfulness of the “great dis-
aster to humanity.”
This is the pleading message sent out
—not by government officials but by
the boys themselves—boys that are
over there!
“Don’t help the kaiser by hang
weights on the spirits of your boys who
are fighting;”'writes Joseph Teter of

regiment, United States Ma-
rine corps, now in France. “The boys
are all ready to go through with this
thing, taking things as they come, but
it is the folks back home who seem
to be quitters. All of us are getting
letters of this sort from our mothers
—and I tell you, it’s mighty dishearten-
ing.”

plea, mothers; don’t wail!

RelieveYour
Rheumatism
For 25c.
NR does it by improving
digestion, assimilation
and elimination-
the logical way.
NR Today—Relief or No Pay
There are' three vital processes of
human existence,—the digestion of
food, the extraction of nourishment
from it and the elimination of the
waste.
Let anything interfere with these
processes,—let them be interrupted or
improperly carried on, and sickness
of some kind follows.
Poor digestion and assimila- %
tion means failure to derive '
full nourishment from food and A
that in turn often means im- w
poverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination e
means an accumulation of waste
matter which poisons the body, lowers
vitality, decreases the power of re-
sistance to disease and leads to the
development of many serious ills.
Rheumatism,—due to some Interfer-
ence with the process of elimination,
failure to get rid of certain body
poisons,—cannot be expected to yield
to any medicine that falls to correct
the condition responsible for it. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself of rheumatic pain as long as
rheumatic poison Is allowed to re-
main in the body.
Think of this. It explains the Suc-
cess of Nature's Remedy (NR Tab-
lets) in so many cases where other
medicines have failed. Thousands are
using NR Tablets every day and get-
ting relief. Why pay five or ten
