We study and admire the machinery invented by man, and too often overlook and neglect that most marvellous machine--the human body. To understand and take care of the heart, lungs and liver ; the arteries and veins, the skin, the teeth, the eyeg, and all the intricate machinery of the body, is no small task. But, unlike "any other machine, the body replaces its own wear and waste, and, consequently, the most attention required is that which has to do with the orgafcs of digestion and excretion. So long as proper food is supplied for nourishment and the liver, kidneys and bowels are regular in their work of eliminating poisonous waste matter from the system, the great majority of human ills are avoided. . ' In this connection Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are appreciated on account of their promptness and efficiency efficiency in arousing the action of these filtering an excretory organs, and thereby removing such dis- orders as liver complaint, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, kidney disease and backache. With these organs in healthful action there is no such thing as Bright's disease, hardening of the arteries and rheumatism. rheumatism.

Nevertheless, headache is not very uncommon uncommon in children, and it does not always always receive the attention from parents parents or physicians that it deserves. In children under three years of age it is difficult to recognize headache, for they cannot describe their symptoms, and can only cry violently or else lie very still and resent any attempt to move them. Habitual or frequent headache in a child is generally an indication of some Nature's Way Is Best Nature's laxative is bile. If your liver is sending the bile on its way as it should, you'll never be constipated. Keep the liver tuned right up to its work. Take one pill regularly (more only if necessary) until your bowels act regularly» regularly» freely, naturally.

Another common cause of habitual headache in children of school age is i eyestrain; that comes on toward even- I ing, and is absent during vacations 1 and' on Saturdays and Sundays. Chronic nasal catarrh is also a cause of headache. That form differs from the eye headache in being constant constant or else in coming on irregularly --in the morning as often as in the evening. , Another cause of headache, less frequent frequent in children than in adults, is autointoxication, due to intestinal torpor, torpor, an inactive liver, or worms. In searching for the possible cause of obscure obscure headaches, the teeth also, which sometimes begin to decay very early, must not be forgotten. The onset of acute disease, such as one of the contagious fevers of childhood, childhood, is almost always announced by severe headache, in the forehead. The place of the headache is sometimes, sometimes, although not as a rulç^ an indication indication of its cause.

SUBMARINES AND NEUTRALS By Chas. M. Bice, Denver, C9I0. The recent announcement by the Kaiser of his insane intention to blockade the ports of the allies, and to starve Great Britain b? destroying indiscriminately the commerce of the world, is only what might have been expected/from a man dead to all sense of human feeling and responsibility. It is in keeping with German methods, though hitherto disguised under false colors. The mask of pretence and fraud has been removed at last, and the world now sees the real cussedness cussedness and innate depravity that all along have marked every move ^of the Hohenzollerns since the war be- S The duplicity and deceit inherent in the real German character is not different different now in this last drastic move than formerly, only the disgifise has been removed, and all attempts to cover, up have been abandoned. But it is only, the flickering of the expiring flash of national extinction hat is sure to come, indeed is already almost here. Germany dreads the ■ ? ate that awaits her soldiery when ingland's two millions of braves cross over and are gathered upon French soil for the -grand final assault. assault. It was expected that she would do something drastic, for necessity knows no law, especially with Germany. Germany. She began by an outrageous act of perfidy when she invaded the neutral soil of Belgium, which she had sworn to protect; and she has kept up the pace ever since with increasing increasing acceleration until the fina climax of submarine warfare upon the commerce of the whole world. She has now transferred the issue _ of the great world war from the land i to the seas, and purposes an indiscriminate indiscriminate assault upon all commerce, not excepting even hospital ships or neutral vessels. International law has always provided provided for and permitted the blockade of an enemy's ports, search and seizure, seizure, for the safety of passengers and noncombatants, but this was before the submarine was thought of. Manifestly this cannot be done by submarine boats as they have no means to take a captured vessel into the nearest port or to save the passengers. passengers. They can only destroy a vessel and repeat the murderous operation, regardless of human- life, though non- combatant. . The submarine has to be a fugitive on the ocean and cannot give succor to friend or foe, so that internationally internationally it is an outlaw and on the same footing as the Vikings of Norse days. For a long time, under protest from a powerful party in the empire, Germany Germany held in leash the submarine for fear of offending the U.S. To-day she has thrown off the mask, and comes out in her true colors, defiant not only of her enemies but of the civil ized world. . The desperateness and extremity of her situation can be imagined from this, the latest move to defy every - . ; human sentiment, feeling and dictate ing and will take up virulent poisons, 1 of mora i law, characteristic of civil- A ized man. which should have been ejected, and return them to circulate their deadly influence throughout the system, dulling dulling the power of thought and action. --- •> Lightning Hits Chestnuts. Lightning shows a marked preference preference for chestnut trees, according to the U S. Department of Forestry by its foresters. Of a total of about 2 000 trees struck by lightning on the State Forests in the past four years, 655 were chestnut. Pitch pine comes next with 327 trees struck, and then follow in order rock oak, white pine, hemlock, red oak, white oak, black oak, locust, and sugar maple. Black birch-is at the foot of the list with only one tree struck in four years. Poplar and walnut come next, only two of each being struck. ! 4 WHY WOMEN CANNOT SLEEP." Warning to the Constipated.

In her recent move she has violated every pledge given to this country after the sinking of the Lusitania, but that is a small matter with a nation "Notorious for violating her treaties. The rights of neutrals must give way when the war lord sees, or thinks he sees, the hand ot a relentless necessity. I think we can be safely assured that the final struggle has come at last; for the situation of a nation must be grave, indeed, when she is willing to resort to such measures m defiance of the whole world, and thus publish herself as a debased outlaw among mankind.
