It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardul, the woman's
tonic. She says further r "Before 1 began to use
Cardul. my back and heaA- would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardul, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well, as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardul when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble, it has been helping weak, ailing

With Theodore Roosevelt, former
president, looking on In Carnegie hall,
In New York, t'harlos B. Hughes, being
notified by Senator Harding, who was
chairman of the Republican national
convention, of his nomination to the
presidency by that convention, accept
ed the nomination in a speech that
flamed with indignant denunciations ol
President Wilson's foreign and domes
tic policies, especially the administra
tion's course in Mexico, and outlined
the Issues upon which he will conduct
ills campaign for office.
One of the most striking passages

Truth Tact Belong Together In the
Strongest and Finest Character
By LYMAN F. POWELL, President of Hobart College
II 0
TIIK most wo can pay of right character is that those who hare it d»
what is regarded as tho proper tiling wherever they may be. The
licet men have characters most sensitive. The worse, we all agree,
are hard.
THE REAL PROBLEM FOR ÜB, WHO HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER IN
SOCIETY, IS TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LOVE OF TRUTH AND TO
PRACTICE TACT IN ITS EXPRESSION.
No matter what character may signify, it must hunger for the truth.
It •must have the straightforwardness and directness which indicate the
presence of tho truth. It must have a highly visualized imagination to
seek for truth still undiscovered. It must hold what it thinks to be the
truth, no matter how the world around may differ.
tt X H
Many people of the noblest character confuse this truth tendency
with the crassncss which goes muddling through, wounding feelings
AM) NEVER MORE CERTAIN TO FIND TRUTH THAN THOSE
WE CALL MORE TACTFUL.
If you care more for the truth than for yourself you will follow ways
that lead to tho acceptance of t.he truth. There is a kind of selfishness
in insisting on acceptance of the truth because you say it is the truth.
Thero is always danger, even among tho best men, that conceit may get
confused with truth. Feojde cannot long bo fooled. They will shun the
man who tears tact awny from its connection with the truth. Truth and
tact belong together in tin strongest and tlw character.

Mr. Hughes assailed the administra
tion for the course It baa pursued
with reference to maintenance of
American rights during the European
war, preparedness and other great
question* of the day. He declared for
a new policy of "firmness and con
sistency" toward Mexico, for "the un
flinching maintenance of all American
rights on land and sea," and for "ade
quate national defense, adequate na
tional defense; adequate protection
on both our western and eastern
coasts." _____
"We denounce all plots and conspir*
acies In the Interest of any foreign
nation," Mr. Hughes said. "Utterly
Intolerable is the use of our soil for
alien intrigues. Every American must
unreservedly condemn them and sup
port every effort for their suppres
sion."
The nominee assailed the adminis
tration for its "direction of diplomatic
Intercourse" from the beginning, de
claring that where there should have
been conspicuous strength and expert
ness, there had been weakness and in
expertnesa.
He cited San Domingo as an In
stanoe' phere appointments had gone
to "deserving Democrats" and to the
failure to continue Ambassador Der

war bad started as "a lamentable
sacrifice of International repute."

ARREST FOUR IN
BIG EXPLOSION
Warrant Out For Head of the
Storage Concern.
THE LOSS IS $20,000,000
Country for Mile* Around Waa Shaken
as If by Earthquake—Hundreds ol
Tons of Exploslvee Let Go.
A fourth arrest waa ordered as s
result of the great explosion of Sunday
on Black Tom genlnsula, Jersey City,
and It was announced also that several
railway officials might be arrested.
The arrest ordered was that of Eld
mund L. McKenzle, president of the
National Storage company, whose
warehouses furnished the setting foi
the catastrophe. The county prose
cutor in Jersey City announced thai
a warrant for McKenzie had been Is
sued.
Albept M. Dick man, agent for the
Lehigh Valley railroad, and Alexan
der DariJson, superintendent of the
National Docks & Storage company,
were held In SSOOO ball each by Coun
ty Judge Mark A. Sullivan, in Jersey
City, charged with a high mlsde
meanor In connection with the explo
sion.
Theodore B. Johnson, president of
the Johnson Lighterage company, BUP
rendered later to Judge Tennant, and
he also was held In SSOOO.
The known dead number three, with
a dozen persons missing and scores
injured. Only one body—that of a man
BO badly njutllated that it may never
be identified —was found. When tht
debris has been sufficiently uncovered
charred human bones may be found,
for it is possible that some of the
Ylctlms who were not blown to pieces
were burned to death.
A revised estimate of the damage
places the loss at a little more than
$20,000,000.
The detonations, which were felt In
five states, began with a continuous
rapid fire of small shells, then the
blowing up of great quantities of dy
namite, trinitrotoluene and other high
explosives, followed by the bursting oi
thousands of shrapnel, which literally
showered the surrounding country and
waters for many miles around.
.Fire that started soon after the first
great crash, which spread death and
desolation in its wake, destroyed thir
teen of the huge warehouses of the
National Storage company, on Black
Tom Island, in which were stored mer
chandise valued at between $12,000,-
000 and $15,000,000. The flames,
shooting into the clouds, were reflect
ed against New York's "skyline" ol
towering'office buildings which only a
few moments before were shaken to
their foundations by an earthquake.
Miles of streets In Manhattan alone
were strewn with broken glass and
shattered signs. •
The cause of the disaster has not
been determined. Officials of the Na
tional Storage company and the Le
high VaUev railroad, which also suf
fered heavily through loss of property,
declared, however, that reports to
them showed a fire started shortly
after on a barge belonging to an Inde
pendent towing company that had
been moored alongside a dock used
by the railroad company to transfer
ammunition shipments from trains to
vessels In the harbor.
The barge, It was said, was -there
without authority of the railroad or
the storage company. The officials
refused to disclose the name of the
Independent towing company, saying
they were investigating, "to ascertain
whether the barge purposely had been
set lire as the result of a plot."
The tremors fallowing the first ex
plosion were of almost earthquake pro
portions, spreading for miles, smash
ing windows, setting big buildings
a-tremble and causing injury to per
sons who were blown from their beds
or burled from their feet. One' of the
■hocks was felt as far away as Phila
delphia.
The flames continued to rage for
hours, with shrapnel and powder con
stantly exploding. Meanwhile barges
laden with bullets were drifting about
the bay. Two grounded at the federal
Immigration station at Ellis Island,
and hospital patients and immigrants
were quickly transported to places of
safety. The island buildings had been
bombarded by missies cast from Black
Tom Island by the concussion.
But the shrapnel on the barge was
packed vertically and to this was at
tributed the fact Chat there was no
loss of life. The flames on these
barges and two others which drifted
past the island were extinguished by
municipal flreboats and men who play
ed streams from the shore.
In Manhattan, Brooklyn and In New
Jersey towns the streets were strewn
with glass. Many thousand windows
broke. The modern structures ap
parently suffered the least damage.
Police reserves were swarming
through the city, detailed to prevent
the looting of goods exposed In shat
tered windows, particularly in the
jewelry district in Maiden Lane.
Bedloe's Island, on which stands the
Btatue of Liberty, is nearest the Black
Tom peninsula and received the brunt
of the explosion. The statue and all
buHdlngs on the Island suffered dam
age. Every window In the pedestal of
the statue was broken, and the main
door, weighing nearly a ton, was blown
from Its hinges. Engineers will be
summoned to examine the pedestal
and barge of the statue to ascertain If
their stability is Impaired.
