A TIMELY VISIT
The visit of the Mexican editors to the United States
is one of the most encouraging steps toward a mutual
understanding between the two peoples. The intelligent
Mexican knew better, but German propaganda made, the
peons believe the Americans were afraid of them, and this
vas the reason the Americans would not fight them,
though so many provocations were given. The visiting
.editors will return home with not only a true conception
of America's feeling toward their country but with a deep
appreciation of the forbearance it has shown in refusing
to go to war with them. After seeing the tremendous
preparations this country is making for war, and realiz
" ing that while refusing the gage of battle tendered her by
Mexico, she unhesitating entered irto war accepting the
challenge of the most powerful fighting machine the
world has ever known. 1 hey realize now now easily
America could have crushed Mexico had it so desired, and
that it was sympathy for their bandit-ridden condition,
their local troubles, their struggle to get their own affairs
into livable shape that caused the United States to with
draw her troops from Mexican soil so soon as her object,
that of preventing lawless raids across the border was
accomplished. Our visitors know now that it was not fear
that caused this action but a profound respect for a
neighbor's rights and property. When they get home and
impress on their readers these things which they have
learned, our relations with our southern neighbors should
be greatly improved, and those of the Germans who have
stirred up most the troubles between the countries will be
correspondingly decreased. -
It is a timely visit and will bear good fruit.
' One reason the kaiser is slow about exchanging prison
ers with America or arranging to do so, is that the Amer-.
ican prisoners have been so treated that his highness doesj
rot care to have the Americans get the facts concerning
it lest it stir them to real war madness. Besides German
prisoners taken by the Americans f.re being fed up in a
wav that will make them regret the day the exchange is
made. Naturally the kaiser may hesitate about having
these prisoners tell the German soldiers oi the treatment
they received. This would have a tendency to make tnem
all want to be captured.
In the nassinn of "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, for 24
vears senator from South Carolina, one of the most
picturesque figures of modern American politics disap
pears. From his entrance into the senate to his last
service therein he was the especial advocate of the farm
ers, not only of his state but of the entire country. He
wa3 a born scrapper and some of the most fiery speeches
made in the senate fell from his lips. The farmers of the
entire union have lost a sincere friend and an able advo
cate in the passing of the South Carolina senator.
The motto of the American soldier seems to be "what
I get I keep." While our boys have not engaged in any
of the greater battles, in every one they have taken part
in the same story is repeated What they have under
taken they have achieved, and what they have acquired
they have held. This kept up will land them in Berlin
eventually.
It will be but a short time until the more than 500
acres of flax contracted by the governor will be ready
for pulling. As there are not men enough left in the
prison to finish the governor's wood contracts, the out
look for sufficient flax pullers is not encouraging. In the
meanwhile there are 80 tons of straw left from the crop
of 1916 that have not been retted.
The situation in Russia is a delicate one to handle, for
the reason that the Kussian people having been betrayed
by first their chosen leaders, and next by the Germans
with whom they made a peace only to see it violated, have
become suspicious of every one. "
The bolsheviki are on their last legs and would have
been down and out long ago had it not been for the back
ing of the German armies. However there is a ray of
hope coming from Siberia, where the two governments
have united and are determined to resist the further en
croachments of Germany. The Don Cossacks are in full
accord and sympathy with them, and it is possible that
by another year the new government will be able to put up
such resistance as will cause the kaiser much trouble. It
is undoubtedly true that if any showing of strength can
be made by the new Siberian government that will give
the peasants of Russia a reasonable hope of throwing off
the German yoke which is galling their shoulders so
severely just now, that they will join hands with their
Siberian brethren and put up a fight again. Ukraine has
had an entire sufficiency of a German-made peace, and
wm aiso join in against me uermans once they see a
chance of winning their liberty again. Apparently the
final result depends largely on whether there is in Russia
a man strong enough to control the situation, and who
can get in command.
This country wants to help Russia but is so far unable
to solve the puzzling question of how to do it. If the new
Siberian government would ask the United States to help
it, this difficulty would vanish. The Russian proletariat
has confidence in the United States, and it is because it
has that it is so difficult to deal with it. We do not want
to do anything that will destroy that confidence. Given a
government indorsed by the people the solutuion would
be easy, and the United States would help with both men
and mofiey. The allies would stand solidly behind us in
any thing we can do to solve the problem and assist in
putting Russia on her feet again. -The president in his
speech today, it is claimed, will outline America's
position not only as to Russia but as to all the nations of
the earth. It is hoped the president, usually so clear and
so correct in interpreting the heart beats of the world,
may be able to show Russia the way out of her
difficulties.

SUMMER WEATHER .
The days are growing hotter, although
they're hot enough, and as I ply my swatter
l m leeling pretty tough. The , solar rays
are pelting, from heat there's no surcease,
and I am slowly melting' and swimming in
my grease. I overhaul the verses I wrote
four months ago, and marvel at the curses
I handed sleet and snow. Oh, I was surely
nutty, when I such language tossed; his
head is stuffed with putty, who rails at
snow and frost. For winter's wholesome
J rigors are eood for man and beast:, there
jiMfmrj are no fues an(j chiggers 0n human limbs to
feast Men sit before their heaters, while
loud the blizzard rants, and there are no moskeeters. no
worms or bugs or ants. From germproof Athabasca the
wholesome breezes blow; from ocean washed Alaska
comes down the healthful snow. And yet when winter'
flinging its blessings all around, when we should all be
singingK we raise a doleful sound. Because some ears are
frosted, because a nose is peeled, the language is exhairt-
ed, so biteny we ve spieled. The days are growing hotte ,
and hotter still, my friends; as to my tasks I totter, the
mercury ascends. The flies, in countless legions, are roost
ing on my dome, and in the arctic regions I fain woi'd
build my home. '

CHAPTER CXXXXI.
More than ever, was I anxious to
please my husband to gain that poise
antl command of myself he considered
so necessary. My little affair with Mor
ton Gray had shown me, perhaps more
plairlv than, anything else possibly
could, tlat I loved my husband too well
to be happy v.tb. anyone else, or happy
if I were uitrily away from him. Yet
I knew -I never should be really content
and happy until he ceased finding fault
ith me, or, rather, until I had made
niyv.if over so that there would be
no room for eriticism.
I was not very well; that, too, made
it harder to bear his caustic remarks.
Realizing Julia 'Collins' talk on tho
piazTa of the Xarraganset hotel, I had
said nothing to George, but had gone to
a doctor vtljjut letting hiui know my
errand. A'liat he told me f lightened me.
I.woi to Ivfcumo a mother. I burst into
tears in his office, and he had all he
could'do to ouict nie.
"'Don't be fr.f.l. lined, you have some
mouths yet oaf ore anything will hap
pen,'' In told mc. and I blurted out:
"fm not t..yiitened for myself, and
I adore children. But my husband
won't" then I stoped. I had almost
mrtde the i hy&icinn my confident. Al
most let him sec that my fear of having
children was my fear that by doing
so I should lose my husband.
He 11 be ion a of them, all right,
when they are his own," the doctor
niltly answered. Then he patted mv
shoulder kindly. ' lou are ncrvou and
upset. I'll give you eomothing 'to steady
you. Don't worry, stay out doors as
much as possible, and try not to get
fmdiMh notions into that little head.'

I wondered if I should tell George
what the doctor had told me. I decided
I would not. I would kwp it to myself
us long as possible. Then, in, the mist
of uiy fear, came a thrill of joy at the
thought that I was to have a child of
mv own a thrill that remained with
me for hours. 1 should now make dain
ty, lovely things for my own baby as
well as for Evelyn's.
f would not tell even Evelyn. I would
kep my secret from everyone as long as
I could.
As it came time for George to como
home to dinner, the thought of what Ju
lia Collins had said again was uppermost
in my mind. George YYA8 fastidious to
an extreme. Ho was most particular as
to mv looks; he always had said he ad
mired by girlish slenderness and that
it was the reason my clothes looked so
well on me. All that it would mean to
have him feel ashamed of me, rushed
over mc and I threw myself on tho bed
in a perfect agony of dread, all my joy
gone in the thought that I should lose
my husband's love.

Then, too, came another thought
Gioorgo went out a great deal without
me now, went where other women wei-
women he had known and admired be
fore he know uie. Now he would go all
the more, probably; and he would als-i
have an excuse not to tako me cve
occasionally. I saw months of loneliness
before mc, months of neglect greater
than ever yet had been my portion.
I did not cry. George would be cross
if I did. But I sobed my misery in dry
tearless sobs that exhausted mc. Wb3d
I looked at myself in the glass i was
shocked. Hurriedly I bathed and dress
ed, making myself as attractive as pos
sible in, a gown George had chosen foi
me. Then I rouged my checks, and just
touched my hps with rod. 1 must keep
looking well as long as I could. Vet, in
spite of all mv preparations, I looked
haggard and almost ill and Celeste beg
ged me not to try to go down to din
ner. . '
' ' Madame, please rest. You wjll be
ill, sue said as l sank bacK in my cuan
with a sigh, after she had dressed my
hair.
"No. I shall dine with Mr. noward.'
"Madam,'? is worried. Bhe should not
bo; she is young beautiful has a love
ly home."
"I know, Celeste," I replied wearily
too tired to rebuke her.

Advertising Clubs
Want Blue Sky Laws
The Associated Advertising Clubs of
tho World are making a campaign for
the enactment of "blue sky" laws in
states which do not now have them as
a means of curbing oil promotion com
panies end other concerns which are
reported to be fleecing the public out
of thousands Of dollars.
A copy of a bulletin issued by tho
clubs has been received by Corpora
tion Commissioner Schulderman. It
points cvt that while a Hue sky law
is not a guarantee against fraudulent
stocks, it is a protection, and the com
panies which have worthless stocks to
sell aro doing their biggeBt business in
states which do not have such laws. Tho
state of Oklahoma and Colorado are
cited as illustration of tho urgent
need of blue sky laws.

'Apoplexy No. 2.
When conditions are favorable
the effused blood becomes clotted,
the opening In the ruptured vessel .
is sealed with a clot, and repair at
once begins the clot shrinking
and its pressure upon the brain di
minishing. As the result of this pressure,
nerve cells 5nd fibers are de
stroyed; they cannot be restored,
and the parts controlled by them
will be damaged permanently.
When there has been no destruc
tion of these Important structures,
improvement will begin as soon as
the pressure Is relieved.
Perhaps the clot will press upon
tho centers which co trol speech;
In that case, the faculty of speech
will be impaired, the condition be
ing known as "aphasia," the patient
knowing what he wants to say, but
not being able to say It, or to speak
distinctly.
, In most cases there Is paralysis
of the arm and leg on the side of
the body, opposite that on which
the hemorrhage occurred, the only
parts which can be moved volun
tarily being the fingers and toes.
One may also lose feeling or
sensation, and perhaps sight, hear
ing, taste or smell.
Difficulty In swallowing Is an Im
portant symptom due to paralysis
of tha muscles of the throat
The kidneys may be diseased, and
thk disease may be one of the
cau.fes leading to the apoplexy.
If conditions are favorable, tha
bad svmptoms will gradually clear
up the sense of feeling usually re
turning first, and, by degrees, the
powr of motion.
In the aged, complete power of
motion may never be regained; con
trol of speech may be obtained, but
somi words may permanently be
difficult of enunciation.
If the conditions are unfavorable,
the paralysis will continue, the pa
tient becoming bed-ridden, the ex
tremities swelling, the mind be
coming weak, and death coming
from exhaustion or some compli
cating disease, or from another
hemorrhage.
Apoplexy is common In certain
families, especially when there art.
bad arteries and bad kidneys.
This tendency is Increased by
over-exertion, straining, profound
emotion, coughing, injuries, or any
thing that increases blood pres
sure. People who have had diseased ar
teries and have had one apoplexy,
must lead a simple, temperate life,
sleep as much aa possible, avoid
excitement, Indigestion, and consti
pation, and they must do every
thing they can to keep down blood
pressure. j
Treatment by means of drugs and
by surgical measures Is more hope
ful than used to be the case, and
now-a-days those who have apo
plexy are frequently able to live
comfortably for years after their
first attack.
Pasteur did his most useful work
after a very severe apoplexy. It
Is desirable, therefore, that suf
ferers with this disease should al
ways look on the bright side of
life and hope for as large a degre
as possible of usefulness and comfort.
