MARCH 15 ROOM OF THK LIVI'OR TRAFFIC j ANYONE who can read tho signs of the times in legislative bills must be struck by the provisions of those which have been mak ing their appearance in the Pennsyl vania General Assembly. It would seem that men all over the State are anxious to take a whack at the liquor traffic. Not only has the Legislature before | it the AVlllianis local option bill, spon-1 sored by Governor Brumbaugh, and offering a fair and square way of ob taining the will of the people of a coun ty on the licensing of places for the sale of intoxicants, but it has a pro posed prohibition amendment, a bill for local prohibition, measures to pro hibit the shipment or carrying of liquor into "dry" territory, an anti treating bill with the burden put on the seller, bills to restrict amounts that may be sold; to make more stringen: provisions against supplying liquor to minors and to forbid what are known in other parts of the State as "wagon sales." In addition there may be mentioned the Evans bill, which makes 11 o'clock the closing hour. This is the lirst anti liquor bill to come out of committee end is now before the House on sec nnd reading. It illustrates better than anything else the changed conditions. AVhocvcr heard of an "early closing" bill getting out of a committee of the House. For years the temperance forces besought the committee In charge of law and order bills to per mit local option to i;ome out on the lloor and be given a fair test. Now the liquor people are asking that the san.e he done with local option, fearing the effect of the rising tide of public opin ion which is backing Governor Brum baugh's stand. Tilings have indeed changed in tho Pennsylvania Legislature. The peo ple arc making their wants known, and one of them is the passage of lo cal option. The men and women of the Keystone State have set their faces against the liquor traffic and its end is bound to come .before long in Penn sylvania. RESULTS OF THE WAR ALTHOUGH there is an increase of "peace talk" there is not much prospect that there will be a cessation of hostilities in Europe until after the forces in the field have demonstrated the compara tive value of the plans and prepara tions which have engaged the atten tion of the general staffs and board of strategy in London, Berlin, Petrograd and Vienna during the winter. In! spite of pressure at home to stop thei slaughter and the destruction of capi-j tal, the war lords of all the belllger- j en", nations will be anxious to have at least one more throw with the fatal •lice—ajid they may want many more. But even if the struggle could be brought to a stop before the Spring campaigns open anything approaching statu quo ante bellum is out of the question, and it already is apparent that no matter who wins or upon what terms peace is restored what might be! called the incidental effect will farl outweigh in Importance the direct cost. And this condition will be come more pronounced as the strug gle is prolonged. If the war lasts as long as Lord Kitcnener says i» will.it is quite possible that some of the par ticipants will be reduced to what amounts to a subordinate rank no matter how skillful the diplomatists prove to be in preserving the political equilibrium, in these days a healthy national balance sheet is of far more importance than any political fiction, however alluring it may be dressed. It may soothe the feelings of the ripps. "I do believe that State aid should be withdrawn from institutions found upon investigation to be inefficient or incompetently managed." —The Philadelphia Ledger says: Senator Vare is looked on by politi cians in this city as the key of the local option situation in the legislature. They point out that if Senator Vare gives the word to his delegation to vote for the bill. Governor .Brum baugh's statement, "Give us .0 men from Philadelphia and we can win," will come true. Since the beginning of the local option fight Vare has taken the position that Governor Brum baugh should have a square deal in his light and has resolutely opposed any suggestion allowing the liquor peo ple to force a vote on the measure for the purpose of cutting short the cam paign which is now waged throughout the Stato in favor of the passage of the bill." —The first big festivity of the ses sion will take place to-morrow night when the biennial dinner of the legis lative sons of St. Patrick will be held at the Board of Trade. Lieutenant- Governor Frank B. McC'lain and other prominent State offcials will attend. A pumber of legislators of former sessions have arranged to return for the function. —Thieves got into the home of Senator Sproul last night and stole money, a watch and clothing. —Rumors that Secretary Bryan would be invited to speak here this session did not appear to be well founded to-day. He is due in Phila delphia to-night. —A bill for appointment of a State Board of Child Guardians is being urged about the legislature. JIMMY'S HAIR CUT Jimmy's had a hair cut!

AN EVENING THOUGHT There was a man in our town invested all his health. With madly avaricious aim. To win the goal of wealth; And when the same he had at tained. With all his might and main. He vainly lavished ail his wealth To get his health again. —Amos It. Wells. HAVE YOU HAD the GRIP? The debility and depression follow ing an attack of the grip is not a fan cied disorder. "Post-grippal neuras thenia" is the medical name for this condition and its seriousness is recog nized by all medical writers. One authority says: "Broadly speaking, every victim of the grip will suffer from post-grippal neurasthenia also. Lowering of nervous tone, with increased irritability is the most striking effect of the disease, with lan guor of mind, and body, disturbed sleep and vague pains in the head and elsewhere." Every sufferer will recognize the symptoms. What is the remedy? " After the fever has passed and the influenza has subsided the diet should be more liberal but be limited to ar ticles easily digested: rest and'suffi cient sleep are essential and Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills are the only medicine required in most cases. This treat ment should be continued until the patient is completely restored to nor mal health and spirits. It is a spe cific treatment and rarely if ever fails.

ROUND ABOUT I PENNSYLVANIA i Wilkes-Barre has a new scheme to frighten away sparrows. The little gray birds flock in the trees at Public Square Park in that city and make it decidedly unpleastint for people who pass there under. Many plans have been tried to rid the place of the feathered pests, but thus far nothing has been effective. Now the City Commissioners have de cided to place stuffed owls among the trees. The Commissioners believe this deatHy enemy of the sparrow will serve to drive the birds to other haunts. Headache usually comes from a sluggish liver and bowels. If you feci bilious, dizzy or tongue is coated and stomach sour, just get a 10-cent box of Cascarets to start your liver and bowels and your headaches will end. ww*wmu*mwwvMww%w\ww>%»wvmvtwvwHw General Insurance and Real Estate Agents For Mutual Life Insurance Co., of N.
