“Innocent Bystanders”
’Much has been said of the brave
and hardy people in the days when
one's home was literally his castle,
when his life depended on the quick
ness and surety with which he could
use weapons; of the days when the
great, great grandmothers of some of
us kept the home and dreaded the
call of the Indian. A brave and hardy
people, indeed.
But what of this generation? of the
record of fifteen thousand people
killed by reason of automobiles in
this country alone last year? of mail
messengers falling from the sky in
their burning airplanes? of men.
women and children blown to bits
while walking the streets of our big
gest city?
In the old days precautions were
taken, the hand and the eye were
trained, the senses were educated so
as to be on the alert; men and women
were taught to depend on themselves
on their quickness of eye and sure
ness of hands, on their knowledge of
the spoor, of the bent twig or the
faint imprint on the leaf which might
betray the presence of danger. Mere
wealth of money would not afford
this protection; it was up to the in
dividual to lookout for himself. As
result of this necessity a mighty self
reliant race was produced. They
weren't bystanders, they were par
ticipants.
Innocent" bystanders were the
victims of that terrible outrage in
Wall street, an outrage, whether the
result of carelessness or of maniacal
fiendishness. ‘Bystanders?” Is it
too much to say that in a sense, at
first seemingly remote perhaps, they
one and atl were participants? How
many of them lived as though de
pendent on their own selves for safe
ty; had seen that regulations for
bidding the shipping of explosives
under those conditions were being
< ntorced? had felt individual respon
sibility for incompetents and crooks
in office, for crooks and cranks at
large? Would it he possible for nu
merous instances of men plotting de
struction of society if every by
stander felt that it was his or
her individual duty to assist in ap
prehending them, of making sacri
fices if necessary, to have this done?
Would innocent bystanders be run
down by drunken, degenerate or in
competent drivers of automobiles if
all the bystanders made it their duty
to have proper regulations and to
have them enforced?
Moreover if each and all became
watchful for their own good and safe
ty, they each and all would answer
in some degree as least, that old,
old Question; “Am I my brother’s
keeper?"
Serums, Etcetera
Evidently we are in need, both of
the method of becoming sufficiently
strong to resist the germ and of the
serum to counteract it once it has us
in its grip. If, however, you had
asthma whenever you slept on a
feather pillow it might not occur to j
you that a serum of feathers would
effect a cure. Fortunately it did oc
cur to a medical mind and experi- ,
ments were made with favorable re- I
suits. In one of the great hospitals
serums have been made not only of |
feathers but of cat fur, of cabbages,
of mustard, of milk, of onions, in
short of the proteins that have been
found to be responsible for asthma.
It wasn't in Mexico, but in Chicago,
that ope man was killed, four others
and two women ‘‘slugged”, four men
kidnapped and attempt made to
steal the ballot box. Yet some have
dared to hope Chicago would event
ually be civilized.
It wasn't in Darkest Africa but in !
Wall street, where they arc so wise,
so exclusive, go protected and so
powerful that fiends exploded a bomb,
littering the street with dead. It is
comforting to think of Darkest Africa
as a possible refuge for civilization, j

member
Now come* the report that the ,
French government wil 1 be enabled
to pejr a part of the big loan from j
thin country when it comes due next j
month out of the profits it is making
from the supplies which it bought of
Unde 8am after the fighting. There
were huge supplies stored in France.
Our government commandeered at
home what it needed, or thought it
might need. There were more than a
hundred million dollars worth of
wool and cotton goods over there;
and though ur ships were returning
In many Instances empty they left
foods in France worth $259,000,000.
Meanwhile the people in this ciin
try were paying exorbitant prices for
food. The housewives remember all
this.
This huge stock of goods sold to
France at what is considered a very
low figure included great variety,
clothing, food, hardware, automo
biles, and much of it the French gov
eminent really, sold at a profit at
home. Some of it, clothing, and
canned goods not meeting the de
mands of the French market, is to be
shipped back and sold in this coun
try, which, it is believed, may be done
with a handsome profit to tho French.

Hard Words

Exasperated—stumble over each.

Some men, perhaps, say it with ease.
But when arms, rounded, soft and

Liraw you quite close—say what you

Its mighty hard to say—"Good

For when the pretty lips have clung
And you have held her rather tight—
There's something gripping at the
tongue.
Which makes it hard to say—"Good
night!”
They re simple words—a chap can see
The strain In saying should be light;
But queer as it may seem to be

Did The Children
Get As Much From
Their Vacation As
They Should Have?
Sometime* the re-opening of school

weight, with less strength than they
should have, and really unable to
stand the strain imposed by study.
This is the time when Father
John's Medicine will prove most ef
fective for them. The actual food
elements which it contains are ex
actly what nature has provided to
rebuild health and strength. This
rebuilding food is so skillfully pre
pared by the scientific process of
compounding the prescription for
Father John's Medicine that it is
quickly and easily taken up by a
weakened system and the results are
promptly evident in the increased
weight and steadily gaining strength
which the child shows under the
treatment which Father John's Med
icine affords.

turn." remarked Charles A. Ham
mond. of Mobile. Ala. “As a .matter
of fact, though the canal has here
tofore shown an annual deficit, it has
finally begun to pay. During the
last fiscal year the canal earned a
surplus over expenses of more than
$2,000,000, with a total income of more
than $8,000,000 on the handling of
nearly 2500 commercial vessels, be
sides numerous naval units which
passed from ocean to ocean.
"These figures constitute new rec
ords for the great waterway. The
number of vessels utilizing the canal
was the largest since its opening,
the income was larger in its gross
total and the net earning was *
wholly new thing. The accumulated
deficit in operating costs will rcqu/re
several years to wipe out. as iff is
now about $4,000,000, but with in

SOUGHT RELIEF
Six Years in Vain Says
| Miss Mary Turcotte
Manchester Woman Declares Tan
lac Is the Only Medicine That Ever
| Did Her Any Good
“Tanlac is the only medicine that
ever helped me, and that is saying
a good deal, for X sought relief from
my troubles in every direction for
six years,” said Miss Mary Turcotte,
of 107 Pearl St, Manchester, N H,
a few days ago.
“My stomach was in such a con
dition that even light foods, like
bread and milk, would sour and form
gas, and I had sharp pains in the
pit of my stomach, with a burning'
sensation like fire, and often I was
so nauseated I couldn't retain a
thing. At times I had a hurting in
my right side which bothered me for
a day or two at a time. I could nev
er walk the least bit fast without be
ing out of breath, and just a short
walk would so completely exhaust
me that I had to sit down and rest.
“I suffered from constipation, had
severe pains in my back and such
spells of dizziness I was afraid I was
going to fall over.' I suffered so at
night from the gas on my stomach
that I would have to walk the floor
by the hour. I was very nervous
and it was often three or four o'clock
in the morning before I could get to
sleep and I always woke up with a
nervous headache.
“I got so weak and worn out ev
ery now and then I was forced to
quit everything and just go off for
two or three days and rest. I tried
various medicines and treatments,
but nothing did me any real good
until I got Tanlac.
"But I can say that Tanlac has
already made a wonderful change in
my condition, and I am still taking
it and still improving. My appetite
now is good and I can eat steak,
breakfast bacon, or most anything
else I want, and my stomach gives
me so little trouble I hardly notice
it. I no longer suffer from constipa
tion. headaches or backaches. I
sleep much better than I did. and
feel so much stronger and better in
every way that I have no hesitation
in advising ail who suffer as I did
to take Tanlac."

Coughlin and the leading druggist in

hold it takes upon one as a fascinat
