FARMER’S WIFE
TOO ILLTO WORK
A Weak, Nervous Sufferer
Restored to Health by Ly-
dia E. Pinkh&m’s Veg-
etable Compound.
KmoU, Minn. — "I am glad to say
that Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound haa don#
more for me than
anything elae, and I
had the beat physl-
| cian here. I was ao
weak and nervous
that I could not do
I my work and suf-
fered with pains low
down in my right
side for a year or
more. I took Lydia
E. Pinkham’a Vege-
table Compound, and now I feel like a
different person. I believe there ia
nothing like Lydia EL Pinkham’a Vege-
table Compound for weak women and
young girls, and I would be glad if I
could influence anyone to try the medi-
cine, for I know it will do all and much
more than it is claimed to do.” —Mrs.
Clara Pranks, R. F. D. No. 1, Maple-
crest Farm, Kasota, Minn.

"What is your idea of neutrality?’
"Neutrality,” answered the diplo
mat, "is a state of mind so disinterest
ed and accurate as to permit no ques
tlon that the side of the controversy
represented by me is entitled to the
fullest support.”

talk—and then expect them to keer
still.

Backache Is aWarning

TORPEDOED.

POPULARITY OF
BASE BALL
At Beginning of Submarine Campaign
Bryan Warned Berlin That
American Flag Must
Be Respected.
London.—The American oil tank
■teamer Gulflight, which sailed from
Fort Arthur, Texas, April 10 for Rouen,
France, was torpedoed by a German
submarine off the Scilly islands.
The captain of the GulTlight, accord*
lng to the same advices, died of heart
failure as a result of the shock. The
t
seamen jumped overboard and were
drowned.
The other members of the crew were
taken off by a patrol boat and landed.
,The vessel was towed into Crow sound
and beached.
Will Be Called To Account.
Washington.—Press reports of the
torpedoing of the American steamer
Gulflight and the loss of her captain
and some members of the crew created
created a stir in official circles here,
where the seriousness of the occur-
rence was everywhere admitted.
In the absence of President Wilson,
officials made no comment as to the
probable action of the United Staten
government, beyond saying that a thor-
ough Inquiry as to the manner of the
torpedoing and the responsibility for
it would be required before a decision
could be reached as to the kind of rep-
resentations to be made.
If first reports are born out, the at-
tack on the Gulflight constitutes the
first case of an American ship struck
by a torpedo with consequent loss of
life. Two American vessels have been
struck by mined, the responsibility
of which has never been fixed and one
American, Leon C. Thrasher, was
drowned when the British ship Falaba
was torpedoed.
The United States government has
just completed its investigation of the
Thrasher case, but in view of the di-
rect attack on an American vessel now
reported, it is probable that both inci-
dents will be dealt with in whatever
diplomatic action is taken.
It generally was recalled that in the
note sent by the United States to Ger-
many in answer to Germany’s proc-
lamation of a sea war zgrne the Wash-
ington government stated that it
would hold the German government
"to a strict accountability” for the loss
of any American lives or vessels, the
phraseology being so drawn as to cov-
er attacks on belligerent vessels on
which Americans were traveling. Of-
ficials said at the time that the pur-
pose of the document was to insist on
the right of Americans to voyage on
the high seas even on belligerent mer-
chantmen and upon observance of pre-
vious rules of international law which
provided for the transfer to places of
safety of noft-combatants abroad un-
armed merchantmen.
The course of the United States in
the case of the Gulflight Is not likely
to be determined for several days, as
some time probably will be required
to get the tacts.
Rase ball has grown to gigantic propor-
tion* within the last decade and the scien-
tific work of the teams haa been the delight
of millions of spectators. There are ao
many things to admire in the game that it
is impossible to describe them. Outdoor
exercise is one of Nature’s best aids in pro-
moting health and strength and keeping the
blood rich and pure; but, perhaps you are
one of the many who are denied that privi-
lege. You lead a sedentary life which al-
ways has a tendency to make the liver laxy,
the bowels clogged and digestion poor.
Oftentimes you are nervous, sleepless, have
no appetite and feel run down.
Under these conditions you will greatly
appreciate the assistance to be derived from
a trial of Hoatetter’a Stomach Bitters. It
helps Nature by toning and strengthening
the Stomach, Liver ana Bowels, and with
these organs in a normal condition your
system is well fortified against an attack of
Sick Headache, Heartburn, Indigestion,
Cramps, Constipation, Biliousness or Ma-
laria, Fever or Ague.
Always take good care of your health
and you will be well repaid, while care-
lessness only brings suffering and distress.
Let Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters help you
to maintain your health.
What a Revival la.
The word “revival” is pften given
a meaning which primarily does not
belong to it. Many emphasize the
conversion of sinners as the essential
element In revival work; but that ia
the secondary meaning of the word.
Essentially, “revival” means the
quickening of God's people. You
cannot revive a dead man. The un-
regenerate sinner is spiritually dead.
He must be born again. Now, you
j may revive a partially drowned body,
or a partially frozen body. The re-
generate soul's life often weakens
and wanes, until the flame almost
flickers out. But if there be the least
spark of life left, it can be fanned
into a flame; and like the apparently
dead cinder in the smithy’s forge,
that spark will touch others and
kindle a flame that will enthuse a
church, a city or even a nation. A
revival of religion, then, must logic-
ally begin with the church. Such is
the divine order.—Christian Herald.
We Work Here.
Bill—According to an English pa-
per, 60,000 women in London were
thrown out of work by the war.
Jill—And over sixty thousand wom-
en began knitting in this country when
tbe war began.
When a man talks about a bargain
he means real estate. When a woman

DREW THE LINE AT WIDOWS
School Superintendent of Purityville
Explained Situation to Young and
Pretty Woman.
“Well, now that I have Been Purity-
ville, I can see how anybody would
take almost any kind of a chance to
get away.”
She's an Indianapolis grass widow,
clever.
The grass widow went to Purityville
and asked the school superintendent
for a job. He pried into her past like
a detective, and finally drew from her
that she was a divorcee. The superin-
tendent threw up his hands.
"My dear young woman," he said, “I
am sorry that I cannot employ you.
We are opposed here to the employ-
ment of widows of both classes. Our
school board has a sort of unwritten
law against it”
Tbe grass widow sighed and looked
out of the window.
“But I am a widow through no fault
of mine,” the young woman Insisted.
“It was the husband who erred. And,
besides, Blngle women also have been
known to kidnap married men from
their families.”
“Yes, yes, I know,” the superinten-
dent chirped; "but the single ones are
not so bright and attractive.”
She felt the need of employment,
and had heard that Purityville was In
the market for school teachers. Now.
Purityville is a nice, live city not far
from Indianapolis, but it has a repu-
tation for following fad reform waves,
local gossip and flutter of municipal
dissension.
No, she didn't get the job.—Indian-
opolis News.
Free Will.
It was the day of the picnic, but
Jean had got a bad cold.
“IH get you the prettiest doll I can
find, if you will stay at home,” said
Jean's mother. “Now, which had you
rather do?” A burst of tears was tbe
only reply.
‘‘Dear, dear, I did not know that you
wanted to go as badly as aM that,”
said the mother soothingly.
“I’m not crying because I can’t go,”
sobbed Jean. ’T'm crying because I've
got to decide.”
A Failure.
“Ma, is marriage a failure?"
“I guess so, my dear. I married your
father to reform him.”
The rule among surgeons is that no
person who submits to an operation
shall be permitted to take his vermi-
form appendix away with him.

Somewhat Mixed.
A Sunday school teacher tells th«
following story:
”1 had just finished reading to tb«
class about Isaac. Jacob and Esau
‘Now, Johnnie,’ I asked, ‘who was Ja
cob?’
“ ‘Jacob was the younger son 01
Isaac and Rebecca and the favorite ol
his mother.’
“ ‘Correct. Now, Bennie,’ 1 said to
a boy on the back seat, who had not
been paying the slightest attention to
me, ‘who was Esau?’
“After thinking a moment Bennie re
plied:
” ‘Why, he was the man who wroto
■ Aesop’s Fables," and sold his copy
right for a‘bottle of potash.’ ’’
The Clock Wat All Right.
A man went into a clock store as a
handed out the pendulum of a clock,
which he wished to leave for repairs.
The clockman asked him why he
didn’t bring the whole clock.
"The clock is all right," was the re-
ply. “It's the pendulum that won’t go.
As soon as I pulled that out, the rest
went like the very dickens.”—Judge.
After all, it isn’t necessary for a
woman to get married five times in
order to look well groomed.
Nothing so disappoints a woman as
the discovery that her husband has
been telling her the truth.
