WOMAN’S NERVES
MADESTRONG
By Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Winona, Minn.—“l suffered formore
than a year from nervousness, and was
. so bad I could not
rest at night—
[rifV would lie awake and
get so nervous I
v would have to get
up and walk around
and in the morning
would be all tired
1 ; : out. I read about
L Lydia E. Pinkham s
' Vegetable Com-
pound and thought
I would try it. My
nervousness soon
" left me. I sleep
well and feel fine in the morning and
able to do my work. I gladly recom
mend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to - make weak nerves
etrong.”—Mrs. Albert Sultze, 603
Olmstead St., Winona, Minn.
How often do we hear the expression
among women, “I am so nervous, I can
not sleep,” or “it seems as though I
should fly.” Such women should profit
by Mrs. Sultze’s experience and give
this famous root and herb remedy,
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, a trial.
For forty years it has been overcom
ing such serious conditions as displace
ments, inflammation, ulceration, irreg
ularities, periodic pains, backache, diz
ziness, and nervous prostration of
women, and is now considered the stan
dard remedy for such ailments.

DEMANDS A SHADE
111 PEACE MOVES
SENATE WANTS TO TAKE PART
IN ALL THE PRELIMINARY
ARRANGEMENTS.
REVIVING AN OLD DISPUTE
Strained Relations With the White
House May Result—Revenue Bill
Gives Senators Fine Constitutional
Question to Debate.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington.—There is a possibility
of strained relations between the
White House and the senate becoming
enhanced by the determination of
many senators not to have their body
left out of all the preliminary arrange
ments relating to the establishment
of peace. The senate claims a right
to take part in this discussion be
cause the Constitution says that “by
and with the advice and consent of
two-thirds of the senate” treaties with
foreign governments shall be ratified.
Advice and consent* is taken to mean
bj many senators very literally, and
the theory is advocated that the pres
ident ought to advise with senators
before he makes treaties.
This is an old-time contention and
one that has bobbed up frequently in
the past, particularly whenever the
senate undertakes to dip into foreign
relations. Some presidents have gone
so far as to characterize such actions
by the senate as “meddling” in affairs
which did not officially concern them.
Very recently strong newspaper sup
porters of the president criticized the
senate severely for attempting to say
anything in regard to peace negotia
tions, claiming that it was purely an
executive function and that the sen
ate was going outside its jurisdiction
either to approve or disapprove any
action the executive might take be
fore the treaty was actually submitted
to the senate.
Back in the days of the last admin
istration of Grover Cleveland, that
strong-minded president had a very
able paper prepared on the subject of
the rights of the executive in the mat
ter of the recognition of new coun
tries or the belligerency of countries
in war. No one has ever disputed that
paper. The president also had very
strong views as to his rights and also
strong objections to “meddling” on the
part of the senate. McKinley always
got along very well with the senate,
but he had the capacity to get along
with anybody. Roosevelt had his dis
agreements with the senate, not so
much in regard to foreign relations
as to legislative affairs. Along the
lines of prerogative President Taft
never had any disputes with the sen
ate. But several times during the
present administration there have
been differences between President
Wilson and members of the senate,
not only in regard to foreign affairs,
but also in regard to legislation.
The United States senate has a
sweet morsel which It can roil under
its tongue and discuss without limit.
The pending revenue bill contains a
provision to tax salaries and bonds of
states and municipalities. A consti
tutional question has been raised;
that is, the point has been made that
congress has no constitutional au
thority to levy taxes on the income
from state or municipal bonds or
on the salaries of state and municipal
officers. In this is Involved the whole
states rights policy; also the reserve
powers of the states, the grants of
powers to the federal government, and
everything else which has been in dis
pute from the formation of the gov
ernment. The lawyers of the senate
dearly like a constitutional question,
and they have already started off on
this question of the constitutional
right of the government to lay taxes.
As a general rule, in times of war It
may be assorted that almost any kind
of a tax will be considered constitu
tional by the Supreme court, which is
rather lenient in the matter of con
struing war taxation.
In spite of the power the president
exercises in shaping legislation, he
cannot always have his way in the
matter of speeding up legislation.
Congress wanted to adjourn last May
or June, but Secretary McAdoo said
there must be a revenue bill at once
and the president backed up his secre
tary. Consequently congress got
down to the tret dmill and tried to
grind out a revenue bill. But con
gress, particular! z the Democratic
leaders, did not want a revenue bill
passed before election. They had po
litical reasons, for a bill raising SB,-
000,000.000 of revenue might strike a
great part of the electorate rather un
favorably, an l so they pleaded for de
lay. Notwithstanding, the executive
department urged speedy action, but
here we are right up close to the
election and there is not a prospect of
the revenue bill becoming a law be
fore the first of January. Leaders of
congress promised to rush through a
revenue law immediately after elec
tion if they were allowed to adjourn.
They seemed rather determined to
have their way, and although they did
not get an adjournment they have se
cured by general consent a great deal
of vacation and recess.
During his long service in congress

affairs, military affairs and of other
committees which have had to do with
Western interests. At present he is
on the committee on appropriations,
which is national rather th. n local,
but Mondell continu s to be i ecognized
as an authority on all Western mat-!
ters.
That organization, the National Se
curity league, is getting under the skim
of some members of congress. Pam
phlets have been got out by the league
in nearly every congressional district,
showing in black and white the votes
of that district’s representative in
congress on war measures. Several
members who were defeated for re
nomination on the loyalty issue have
attributed their defeat to the National
Securitj- league and expressed a de
sire in speeches to see the league
wiped off the map. Congressman
Frear of Wisconsin introduced a res
olution for a congressioual investiga
tion of the league’s activities, but
there is not much likelihood of any
thing being done. Men cannot be pun
ished for getting out a booklet show
ing how congressmen have voted.
Two congressmen were so roiled
over letters they received from the
office of the provost marshal general
that they had the letters and their
own comments put into the Record.
First, Congressman Snyder of New
York entered his complaint and a few
days later Congressman Osborne of
California did likewise. Both con
gressmen had forwarded applications
from constituents for army commis
sions and were peeved to get replies
saying that applications “must be
without influence.” Snyder and Os
borne protested that they were not
trying to use influence, but congres
sional “pull” has been alked about so
much around Washington that people
always think when a congressman
asks for anything he has to be given
it because he is a member of con
gress.
It is altogether probable that
the German peace drive in this
country caused a discussion from one
end to the other of the land which
will have a wholesome effect, and in a
large measure offset the damage which
was done through the fear of a negoti
ated peace instead of an absolute sur
render. This discussion showed that
the American people were bitterly op
posed to any armistice or any cessa
tion of war upon the Hun until he
was soundly/ beaten and accepted un
conditional surrender. It is also likely
that hereafter none of the allied na
tions will enter into parleys or nego
tiations with the Gfcrmans for any kind
of a peace except that which is to be
dictated when there is no longer Ger
man resistance. It became evident in
the discussions throughout the coun
try, and particularly in the senate
where there was scarcely a dissent
ing voice, that our people did not even
want to talk of possible negotiations
for peace until Germany had received
what was coming to her for the atroci
ties of the past four years.
Here and there a voice has been
heard to the effect that we are not in
this war to wreak vengeance upon the
German people. But it should be re
membered that criminals are punished
not only as a matter of retribution, but
in order that they and others may not
again commit crimes.
Men have to go right up against the
fighting line and do the dangerous
work of war in order to receive the
highest commendation that the people
of a government can bestow upon
them. Naturally it Is the army that is
receiving so much attention now, while
little or nothing is said about the navy.
Probably this is what moved Congress
man Padgett of Tennessee, chai, man
of the committee on naval affairs, to
tell the house the story of what the
navy is actually doing in this war. He
did not point out that the navy has
had very few actual encounters and
has not lost thousands of men as in
the case of the army, but he did show
that without the navy it would have
been impossible to transport that army
to Europe. It is the navy that has pro
tected the transports which have car
ried to Europe nearly 2,000,000 men.
The navy has at all times been in dan
ger while performing this duty, al
though most of the actual fighting has
been on land rather than at sea. There
has been no complaint of the navy, but
there are certain friends of the navy
who fear the country may forget the
part that it has played in this great
war on account of the fact that th-e
navy has met with little actual fight
ing and few disasters.
The fact that the navy has re
mained almost unscathed while the
army has been suffering severe losses
in heavy fighting recalls an Incident of
the Spanish war. Admiral Sampson
had a large fleet encircling the harbor
of Santiago, but none of the vessels
went near enough to receive a shot
from the forts or to get in touch with
the little Spanish squadron that was
in the harbor. General Shafter’s army
had been fighting several days and met
with severe losses. In a conference
Sampson intimated that the army was
not doing all that it should do, and
Shafter retorted, “Why don’t you go
in and get somebody killed, so as to
show that you’re doing something?”
No Luck at AIL
“You will always find a croaker and
an optimist in every dugout,” writes
a Welsh sergeant from the front. “Our
croaker said the other day: ‘No leave
—no letters —uo blinking Blighty—no
luck at all?’ The Optimist— ‘Cheer
up, old chap. You’ll soon be dead.*
The Croaker —‘Yes; and if I was dead
now, and on my way to heaven, m
guarantee that I’d be brought down by
i unti-aircraft!’ ”

Allied Embassies Visited.
Celebrations of the victory over Aus
tria-llungary were continued all
through tlie night. In the morning the
jubilation was still in progress and
when the rejoicing crowds met the
workers going to tlie factories the two
elements joined forces. All tlie alllt'd
embassies were visited and the
achievements of the armies of the
various nations concerned in the nota
ble successes were loudly cheered.
The ovation was especially enthus
iastic outside the American embassy,
where Ambassador Page appeared on
the balcony and addressed the crowd.
He was heartily acclaimed by the as
sembled citizens.
Wilson Is Reassured.
A committee from the demonstrators
was received by the ambassador. They
asked him to convey to President Wil
son tlie gratitude of the people of
Rome and of Italy to America, and to
express their admiration for that coun
try’s part in the struggle. The com
mittee wished him to assure the pres
ident that he could count on the con
stant support of the Italian nation for
the triumph of his principles.
By a strnge coincidence the Ital
ians entered Trieste on the feast day
of San Juste, the patron saint of the
redeemed city, which all the popula
tion, including the Jews, formerly
celebrated under Austrian rule as a
patriotic demonstration of their Ital
ian nationality.

No Mystery
in Meat
Some things are so simple
that they have to be explained
again and again. When things
are obvious, people keep looking
for mysteries behind them.
So it is with the packing bus
iness. The mere size of Swift
& Company confuses many.
Because their imaginations are
not geared up to scale, they be
lieve there must be magic in it
somewhere —some weird power.
Swift & Company is just like any
other manufacturing business run by
human beings like yourself; it takes in
raw material on the one hand and turns
out a finished product on the other.
Swift & Company keeps down the
“spread,” or the expense absorbed be
tween raw and finished material, to as
lowa figure as possible. (If it didn't
it would be put out of business by
others who do.)
How much Swift & Company pays
for the raw material, and how much
it gets for the finished product, depends
upon conditions which Swift &
Company does not control.
It depends entirely upon how much
people want the finished product, and
how much raw material there is avail
able to make it from.
The profits of Swift & Company
cmount to less than one cer. t per pound
on dll meats and by-products—less than
one-fourth of a cent on beef.
