How Miserable This Woman Was
Until She Took Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound
_
Toomsboro, Ga.—“I suffered terribly
with backache and headache all the ti me,
was so weak and ner
vous I didn’t know
whattodo, and could
not do my work. My
trouble was deficient
and irregular peri
ods. I read in the
papers what Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound had
done for others and
decided to give it a
trial. I got good
results from; its use
so that I am now able to do my work.
I recommend your Vegetable Compound
to my friends who have troubles similar
to mine and you may use these facts
as a testimonial.”—Mrs. C.F. Phillips,
Toomsboro, Ga.
Weak, nervous women make unhappy
homes, their condition irritates both
husband and children. It has been
said that nine-tenths of the nervous
prostration, nervous desnondency, “the
blues, ” irritability and backache arise
from some displacement or derange
ment of a woman’s system. Mrs. Phil
lips’ letter clearly snows that no other
remedy is so successful in overcoming
this condition as Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.

Germany, ap^rently, will yield to the
demands of the allies and undertake
to pay 532,000.000 000 in gold. Financiers
seem to think she is able to pay, or
that she will in some way escape the
payment, for the value of German cur
rency goes up on this news. Wdr is
expensive. If the Germans must pay
$32,000,000,000 for having enjoyed five
years of war, how expensive would such
a war be to the United States? We
barely got into the war. and we spent
about $50,000,000,0000 just simply get
ting ready.
A mother. In Monday’s news, was ill

A judge has said that he would not
allow anybody to become a citizen if
lacking in average knowledge. One test
question was: “What is the difference
between a king and a president?” Of
course, the candidate is not expected to
give the real answer, which is, “a king
Is a man in Europe who imagines that
he rules the country and does not. The
president Is the head of a people that
thinks it rules itself but does not.”
You know ttie story of Frankenstein.
Mrs. Shelley wrote it., A man created
his Frankenstein monster, powerful and
cold. Then the monster chased him all
over creation. That’s how the allies
feel about Poland. They created that
fine country; now it has a standing
army of 600,000 men, and the allies are
wondering what they are going to do
about that Frankenstein.
Freeing the Cables.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
As an outgrowth of the controversy of
the Wilson administration with the
Western Union Telegraph Co., over the
landing of a cable at Miami, Fla., to
connect at Barbadoes with a British
cable running to Brazilian ports, Con
gress is considering legislation to define
the powers of the government beyond
question in the future.
President Wilson forbade the landing
of the Miami connection primarily be
cause of dissatisfaction with the British
cable monopoly in Brazilian ports,
which runs until 1933. During a period
of 60 years, with one exception, the ex
ecutive has assumed to license and con
trol such landings as a part of the Im
plied powers of the president. The ex
ception was in Cleveland’s administra
tion, when Secretary Olney held firmly
go home and wash the supper dishes.
Legal procedure as It is observed in a
world where plaintiff, defendant, urors,
witnesses and attorneys have no affairs
of importance to attend to is too slow
for the movies. Here is the way a wit
ness is examined In a real court:
State to the jury, if you please, where
you live. I live at 3812 Blank street.
That is your home? Yes, sir. You live
there' do you? Yes, sir. How long have
you lived there? About 12 years. About
12 years? Yes, sir. Now you have staled
I believe, that you are in the grocery
business? Yes, sir. Where Is your place
of business? My store it at J08 West
Blank street. You run a grocery store
there, do you? Yes, sir. Now you
stated than on the afternoon of Feb
' ruary 18 you had gone to attend a
funeral. Yes, sir. Your brother's fun
eral, I believe you stated. My brother
inlaw. Oh, your brotherinlaw. Yes,
sir. Your brotherinlaw was dead was
he? Yes, sir. Then you were not at
your grocery store on the afternoon in
question? No, sir.
It is obvious that this xate of pro
gress will not serve for the movies.
Canned Books for Sale.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
About everything from tinned beef
and toothpicks to motor trucks, ocean
transports and cities has been offered
at public sale by the army or navy in
the course of liquidating surplus stocks
accumulated for war. Now the secre
tary of the navy is preparing to dispose
of 40,000 books. Who wants to buy
40.000 books?
It is announced that the books will
be disposed of at nominal cost. If the
right kind of organization can be
formed for distribution an excellent op
portunity Is offered to lovers of books.
However, it is suggested that the gov
ernment itself should undertake to dis
tribute these volumes. Government
sales through the postoffice of certain
kinds of foods was successful. The
same method, it Is argued w’ould work
equally well in the sale of the navy *
40.000 superfluous books.

When Capita! Goes Hungry.
From the New York World.
“Capital never goes cold and hungry,"
say's Vice President Eastty of the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight-Handlers and Station
Employes. “Capital is never out of a
job unless It wants to be.’’ The state
ment Is good rhetoric but not so much
can be said of its economic soundness.
Capital Is sometimes out of a job in
voluntarily when a mill shuts down or
a mine peters out. It may even go cojd
and hungry when an industrial company
passes its dividends or a street railroad
goes into a receiver’s hands.
Capital of course, is less likely than
labor to feel the immediate pinch of a
sudden reversal. It usually has mure
fat to subsist on. But in a general
sense both are subject to the same econ
omical conditions. When labor is at
work capital is at work, and when
either suspends operations the other
suffers and it becomes a question of
endurance as between the strike fund
of the one and the bank account of
the other. The stockholder whose divi
dends are cut off is in the seine boat
with the employe whose pay envelope
Is empty. How long either tan keep
from going cold and hungry depends
o nthe size of the rainy day fund.
The bulk of capital is not in tho form
of swollen private fortunes but in small
Individual Investments the income from
which Is as necessary to the support of
the investor as his wages are to the
workman. .Their interests are identical;
It is essential to the support of both
that the mills should be kept going
and the trains running.

Jethro—Original Efficiency
Expert.
Scriptural Suggestion Some Executives Have Overlooked, j
Frank W. Taylor, jr., in Circulation.
The Book of Exodus is the story of the Israelites on their
journey through the wilderness under the guidance of Moses.
Jethro was the fatherinlaw of that competent man.
History sets forth how well and to what purpose Moses dis
charged the obligation of leadership, but obscured in the narrative
of that undertaking—one of the vital features of the .story, if you
please—is the splendid philosophy of Jethro as expounded to his
soninlaw and turned to practical account by him to serve as a per
ennial guide-post for men who travel the road to progress.
Jethro remained in Egypt when the children of Israel departed
on their experiment in self-determination. In the course of time,
however, he too traversed the wilderness and arrived in the camp
of the wanderers.
There is, in the course of human events, tha psychological
moment, That was the moment Jethro arrived 1
Wearied with the weight of people’s woes, cast down with the
perpetual problems of their days and nights, law-givers frequently
go to pieces, and, as the gentle Jethro perceived his kinsman en
gaged in the daily task of judging the multitude of their trans
gressions, he discovered that an enterprise undertaken in faith and
hope was about to become an object of charity.
Then what happened? Read it, beginning with the 13th verse
of the 18th chapter of Exodus:
And it came to pass on the morrow that Moses^sat to judge the people;
and the people stood by Moses from morning unto the evening.
And when Moses’ fatherinlaw saw all that he did to the people, he said,
"What is this thing that thous doest to the people? Why sit test thsu thy
self alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?"
And Moses said unto his fatherinlaw, "Because the people come unto
me to enquire of God.
"When they have a matter they come unto me; and Judge between
one and another, and I do make tUem know the statutes of God and His
laws."
And Moses’ fatherinlaw said unto him, “The thing that thou doest is not
good.
“Thou wilt surely wear away, both thous and this people that is with
thee; for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it
thyself alone.
"Hearken now unto my voice. 1 will give thee counsel and God shall
be with thee.
"Thou shalt provide, out of all the people, able men to be rulers of
thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and rulers of tens.
"And let them judge the people at all seasons; and it shall be that every
great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small^matter they shall
judge; so shall it be easier for thyself and they shall bear the burden with
thee.
“If thou shalt do this thing, then thou shalt be able to endure and all
this people shall also go to their place in peace.”
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his fatherinlaw and did all that lie
had said.
And Moses chose able men out of all Isreal, and made them heads over
rhe people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and rulers
of tens.
And they judged (he people at all seasons; the HARD causes they
brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.”
The modern Moses, engulfed in the problems of his own par
ticular organization, leads his workers through the maze of the
day's affairs. He carries the load to the breaking point. He be
lieves tlmt the only way properly to get things done is to do most of
them himself. He does not entrust the multitude of minor problems
to competent assistants, thereby denying to them the right to de
velop and progress.
He knows that that day whose low descending sun sees not the
major portion of the work by his own performance done is wasted.
Someone had better begin playing Jethro to his Moses!
Supreme Court Rulings.
From tlie New York World.
In dealing with the Volstead prohibi
tion enforC' ment law the supreme court
of the United Ctates read the word
“concurrent” out of the constitution. In
dealing with a recent question of free
speech it upheld the authority of con
gross to empower the postmaster gen
eral to exclude permanently and arbi
trarily from the second-class privileges
any publication whore political and eco
nomic doctrines he regarded as inimical
to the present order of government. In
dealing with the issue of money in poli
tics and the systematic debauching of a
senatorial primary the court finds that
congress exceeded its constitutional
power when it undertook to limit a
candidate's expenditures.

“I’m glad I broke off my engagement

“Well, I sent him hack his presents,”
answered Merry. “I sent them all hack,
except the di&mopd ring and a few oth
er things which 1 thought I was really
entitled to, considering the hours of my
time 1 gave him, and I asked him to
return mine.”
“Well,” asked Cherry, “did ha re
fuse?”
“He did not. He not only sent ma
back a box of cigars, :unopened, and
a necktie, which the brute had never
worn, but he also sent five boxes of
face powder, saying that he estimated
that to be about the quantity he had
taken away on his coat during the time
that we were engaged.”

Spnrtrman Given Authority for Re
markable Story That Appears in

The London "zoo” lishing cat w It let

the fishing dog, says London Answers.
A sportsman was on the west const
of 'Madagascar, when lie observed u
dog come out of I lie thick bush in
front of him and trot briskly down to
tbe edge of the sen. When It had got
a little way Into the water it stopped
and remained perfectly still, as a
heron might when fishing at home. Its
glance was never once tuken off the
water.
Suddenly it thrust its head Into an
oncoming wave, and reappeared with a
large lisli in Its mouth. Quickly tak
ing its capture ashore It squatted
down and made a hearty meal. After
a while the lishing operation was re
prated, and it was evident to the wit
ness of the incident that tlie dog made
a regular practice of It.
