I took It for several months, found my hemth waa re stored and have felt splendidly ever since. I now tako It when I con tract a cold, and It soon rids the sys tem of any catarrhal tendencies.'' She Did Her "Bit." There arc ninny wuys Kir one to do Mh bit, hut a young woman, riding on the hurricane deck of u Fifth uvt'iiue bin, discovered a new way, relates the Now York Times. The bus was just Jilt to no under the elevated struc ture, which Is only a few feet above the heads of those seated on Its top when a young man in khaki Jumped to his feet to join a woman friend In u seat that had Just been vacated. The conductor sprang forward to grusrn the soldier, but a young woman. seated near by was quicker. "Sit down," she commanded sharply, at the same time jerklnj; the arm of Sammy. The khaki clad young man lost bis balance and the next moment be was seated In tho young woman's lap. The girl bluuhed u bright pink, and the soldier apolo gized, and everybody smiled. "I don't care," said the young woman to her friend. "I feel that I have done my bit in saving that soldier's bead from being battered by the low bridge." Same Old Prices. The volcd of an anxious woman called the city clerk's olllce on the tele phone the other day, relates the Inill unnpolis News. "Is this the marriage parlor?" she nsked. When told there were no mar riage pallors eonnecled with the of- lice, she said she was anxious to get some Information about the "price of laarriage." "I heard some talk about the price of mari'lage going up ami I wanted to know If they bad a standard price dur ing the war," she explained. She gnve u sigli of relief when in formed that the price of marriage licenses had not been increased, and that most Justices of the peace and ministers still relied on the generosity of the bridegroom for their compensa tion for performing the ceremony. kTTTHEfj ORIGINAL If CHEMICAl Moor Uosot 30,000 soio-rtrrH tear More Comfortable, Healthful, Convenient Kllmloatfia tho out-hoot, onoa vault and craa pool, ulcb aro briHiUlns placca fur carina.

I M . n Mm CARTERS 8 WAR MESSAGE OF WILSON DISTORTED German People Not Permitted to Read Full Text of Presi dent's Address. EFFECT ON PUBLIC FEARED Copy Issued by Committee on Public Information Shows Important Passages That Were Suppressed. The German government did not dare to communicate tc tbe Ger man people the full text o! Presi dent Wilson's war message of April 2, 1917. It feared the Influ- ence which the unabridged text of this message might have upon the opinion of the people. There fore the official message of the president of the United States was presented to Germany In an abridged and distorted form. The committee on public Infor mation of the United States gov ernment has prepared a copy of this message showing the pas sages which were suppressed in the report of the Wolff Telegraph bureau when the message of the president was published to the whole world. These passages are shown in bold-faced type In 'the following copy of the message. , Tbe Wolff Telegraph bureau Is not only under censorship control of the German government, but has been consistently employed by the government for the promulgation of official opinions. Gentlemen of tho ConRrcss: I linve called the conKri'fs Into cxtrn ordlnnry session hecntidu tlioro nro e rlous, very serious, choices of policy to bo made, nnd ntndo Immediately, which It Is neither rlftht nor constltiitlonnlly permissible thnt I should mistime, tho re sponsibility of ninlcliiK. On the 3d of Kehnmry Inst I otllclully lftld before you tho cxtrnnrdlniiry an nouncement of the Imperial German provernment that on nnd nfter the 1st day of February It was Its purpose to put nsldo nil restraints of law or of hu manity and use Its submarines to sink every vessel thnt souirht to nppronch either tho ports of flrent Hrltnln and Irelnnd or tho western coasts of Europe or nny of tho ports controlled by the enemies of Oermnny within tho Medi terranean. That hnd seemed to bo tho object of tho German submnrlno war fare enrllor In the war, but slnco April of Inst year the Imperial Rovornmcnt hnd somewhnt restrained the commnn dcrs of Its undersea cfnft, In conform ity with its promise, tlirn Klvcn to tin, thnt pnnirtmrrr boatn hIic ulil not tir link, nml Unit due wnrnlnir would lie Rlvrn tn nil other mneln vtlitc!)

The new policy hns swept every re striction aside. Vessels of every kind, vbntever their flnir, their elinrnclrr their cnrKO, thrlr ilrMtlnntlnn, their errand, linve been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without wnrnlnpf nnd with out thought of help or mercy for thoso on board, tho vcssols of friendly neu trals nlotiR- with thoso of belligerents.

I vrnn for n little while tinnble to believe thnt such tlilntcs Mould In fnet be done by nny Kovernmrtit that hnd hitherto subscribed tn the humnne lirnellern nf elvlllaed nnlliins.

When I nddressed tho congress on tho Jfith of Februnry Inst I thought It would milllce to assert our noutrnl rights with nrms. our right to use the nenn iignlnxt unlawful Interference, our right tn keep our people nufe ngnlnnt unlaw ful lolriicc.

It Is common pru dence In such circumstances, grim nec essity Indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own Intention. They must be denlt with up on night, If denlt with nt nil. The Germnn government denies the right of neutrals to use arms nt all within the nreas of tho sen which it hns proscribed even In tho defense of rights which no modern publicist hns ever before oucstloncd their right to defend. The Intlmntlon Is conveyed thnt tho nrmril guards which wo have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond tho p.ilo of law and subject to bo denlt with ns pirates would be. Armed neutrality In Ineffec tual enough nt hrstl In such elrenm ntnneen mid In Hip fnce of such preten sions It Is worse (linn InelTeetuiill II Is likely v"l t produce what It wnn mennt (o prevent) It In practically .cer tain tn drnvv us Into wnr without either the rights or the effectiveness of the bel llgcrents.

With n profound nrune of (be solemn nnd even frii'dciil ehnriieler of tbe nlep I mil (uklng nnd of the grave reiponsl blllllen which It Involves, hut In un hesitating obedience tn what I deem my constitutional tlutv I advise that tho congress declare the recent course of tho Iinpert'tl Germnn government to bo In fnet nothing less Minn wnr ngalnst the government and people nf tho I'nltod Kiiites; thnt It formally tie eept the sfitus of belligerent which hns thus been thrust upon It; and thnt It tako Immediate steps tint only to put tho country In a more thorough state of defense, hut also to exert oil Its power and employ all Its resources to bring the government of the German empire to terms and end the wnr. What this will Involve Is clear. It will Involve tho utmost practicable co operation In counsel and action with the governments now nt wnr with Oer mnny. and ns Incident tn thnt, tho ex tension to those governments of the most llher.il tinnnclnl credits. In order thnt our n sources inuy so far ns pos sible .be ndilrd to theirs, It will Involve tho orgnnlrntlon nnd mobilization of all tho material re sources of the country to supply tho mnterlals of war and serve thn Inci dental needs of tho nation In the most nbundant and yet tho most economical nnd olllelent wny possible. It will Involve! thn Immediate, full equipment of the navy In all respects, but particularly In supplying it with the best means of dealing with the ene my's submarines. It will Involve tho Immediate addi tion to the armed forces of the United Stales, already provided for by law In en ho of wnr of at least fiOO.OOO men. who should In my opinion, be chosen upon the prlnclplo of universal liabil ity to service and nlsn the authoriza tion of subsequent additional Incre ments of equal force so soon ns they may bo needed nnd ran be hnndled In training.

We have no quarrel with tho German people. Wo have no fooling tnwnrd them but ono of sympathy and friend ship. It ww not upon their Impulse that their government acted In enter ing the war.

It was n war determined upon ns wars used to bo determined upon In tho old unhappy dnys. when peoples wero no where consulted by their rulers and wnrs wore provoked nnd waged In the Interest of dynasties or of llttli) groups of ambitious mon who were nccuHtomed to use their follow men ns pawns and tools. SMf-governed nntlonn do not fill their neighbor stales with splrs or net the course of Intrigue to bring about nnme rrltleal posture of affairs which will give them au opportunity In strike and make conquest.

University Functions. Whnt Is tho matter with our univer sities is thnt nil the students are schoolboys, wherens It Is of the very essence of university education thnt they should be men, writes George Hernard Slmw. The function of n uni versity Is not to teach things thnt can now bo taught ns well or better by university extension lecturers or by prlvnto tutors or modern correspond ence classes with gramophones. Wo go to them to bo socialized ; to acquire tlio hull mark of communal training; to become citizens of tho world In stead of Inmates of the enlarged rab bit hutches wo cull homes; to learn mnnners and become unchallengeable ladles nnd gentlemen, Tho social pres sure which effects these changes should bo thnt of persons who hnvo faced the full responsibilities of adults as working members of the general community, not that of bnrbarous rab ble of half emiuiclptited schoolboys nnd uncinniiclputablc pedants. Growing a Character. Character Is whet you are. Repu tation Is what folks think you nre. Sometimes they nro so well balanced thnt you can't tell one from the oth er, snys Grit. Uut nioro often tho ono Is n libel on tho other. Folks exnlt virtues that do not exist and condemn follies that are purely subjective nnd poftifliuil. .Much depends on who re ports you. Friends nro nlwnys chnrl tuhlo nnd Interpret our lives to best ad vantage. ICnemies enn see no good In us nml report as they see. So repu tation may Hatter or condemn. Not so with character. Tills Is something beyond external observation. It is tho life Itself ns lived tntnidst Its motives nml obstacles. Few people can know Its real vnluo, for even you do not al ways know Just whnt you are capable of being until tho emergency demands display your worth. What you uro In the face of severe testing Is character. Just Missed It.

Tho policeman, Imagining they wero enger sightseers, said, "Well, I'm afraid, sir, It is ull over; but they may return In alf an 'our." Rapid depart uro of tho "sightseers."
