Nothing is more pitiable than to
see 4 man or woman, yet Young, APP
pear old and broken down. tXtrav-
agant modes Of living or improper
nourishmcnt are responsible for this,
natures last warning. Strain, over
work and careless habits leave their
marks on the mechanism that fur
nishcs health and yigor, with the
result that the blood gets no nour-
ishmcnt, the nerves no stimulus and
the bones no strength.
This is debility, the effects of
which can be mitigatcd in every
case and entirely overcome in some
instances by taking Toniko-Tea.
Toniko-Tea goes to the points
where the strain is, where the pain

thoroughly cleanses first, and then
furnishes just enough artificial as
sistance to restore every organ to
its normal perfect working condl-

lect a better man for the posi-
ton. AS a lawyer he ranks
with the best lawyers of North
east Missouri. He is an honor.
able, able, approachable man
and in his hands the affairs of
the county will be in safe, com.
petent hands. He is city attor-
ney of Hannibal and in that ca.
pacity has proven that he is a
good man for prosecuting attor-
ney. Mr.. Roy is always look
ing out for something which
will benefit his people. He was
influential in securing for Han
nibal the many manufactures.
To his energy and hustle is
largely due the sum which Han
nibal raised for the Feeble
Minded Colony. Because of his
works Mr.. Roy has the conf
dence and support of the best
business men OF Hannibal and
in his boyhood home, Round
Grove township, there you find
strong Roy supporters; in fact,
you find them wherever Sid j.
Roy is we'll known.

A QUESTION OF MIGHT.

Secretary of War Roots
startling declaration that the
time is near at hand when this
Government will have to fight
for the maintenance of the Mon
roe Doctrine seems to have
been justified to certain degree
by a growing German desire to
gain a territorial foothold in
the Western Hemisphere.
Both in Brazil and in the
matter of the contemplated sale
of the Danish West Indies to
Germany there is an indication
of this yearning on the part of
the Kaiser's Government. In
the one case there is the hope
of establishing German posses
sious capable of infinite expan-
sion on the South American
mainland. In the other there
is the likelihood of gaining a
most important naval post in
American waters. It is a small
wonder if the German Govern
ment is in reality working to Sc
cure both these advantages.
This activity is due, of course,
to the fact that the Monroe
Doctrine may not now legiti.
mately be invoked as forbidding
European acquisition of terri
tory in the Western Hemisphere.
The United States Government
may resent by force any Euro
pean effort in this direction,
but it's one-time unansWerable
claim of right under the Mon
roe Doctrine has been volunta-
rily surrendered. 1t was sur

imperialists announced to the
world that they proposed to
establish an American colony
in the Eastern Hemisphere by
whipping The Filipinos and
taking their country away from
them.
It is just as well to face these
plain facts. If imperialism is
to prevail as an American Doc.
trine the Monroe Doctrine must
be put aside. We must meet
Europe with armed hands now
if we forbid her interference in
the Western Hemisphere and
yet insist upon our right to es
tablish colonies in the Eastern.
For war is the only argument
left when a nation abaudons it's
duties.-Republic.
