YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble little
of this and little of that. but they
do not care for 1t.
Lunch has lost all of its charms.
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong, Of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out OF sorts.
That is all.
1t Is in this kind of condition
that Peruna acts very beneficially.
After using Peruna. interest in food
is revived. Beginning with tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands of people can testify TO
this. Liberated from a slavery that Is
almost unbearable. The slavery OF
having no interest in life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why, Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields Will
look green once more and life will
be pleasant. You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
is good place to live in. Peruna
will do it, Not as an artificial slim
ulant. Simply tonic that stimulates
appetite In q natural way.
Those who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets

Loss of Appetite.

Is the first signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite
is often caused by functional dis
turbances in the stomach. The
stomach fails to do the work requir-
ed, the appetite is gone, and the
body suffers from lack of nourish-
ment. Such a stomach needs to be
cleaned and sweetened. Meritol
Tonic Digestive is made especially
to assist the stomach to digest food,
and promote a healthy appetite
This remedy is sold on our positive
guarantee, and We ask you to give
it trial. 1t is a genuine tonic

be opportunity for education, for
intellectual and spiritual uplift.
Matter being mastered, and the ma
chinery of life organized, all this
was possible. Here was the chance.
God given, and the capitalist class
failed. 1t was blind and greedy.
1t prattled sweet ideals and dear
moralities, rubbed its eyes not once,
nor ceased one whit in its greedi-
ness, and smashed down in failure
as tremendous only as was the OPP
portunity 1t had ignored.
INDIvIDUALISM.
Then who is, and are responsible
for so much dire distress, and the
real conditions as we find them the
entire world over? Where should
we place the blame? The answer is
made in few words you and I, as
individuals are responsible; for in
looking into our own souls we find
these words; Thou Art The Mani"
Therefore. we find the individual to
be the answer The individual can
not any longer evade his RESPONSE
bility for the world. There is not,
there ought not to be, an individual
escape. No man can wash his hands
clean of the universal social wick.
edness. No man can withdraw from
participation in the industrial dis
ease and disorder. No man can say
that he no longer stands on the
backs of his brothers. Let him pre-
tend as much as he may; let him inn
agine that his evasions of brothers
and of being are simplifcation of
his life; let him howl at his fellows
from the desert if he will; his pseudo
renunciations will avail neither
his soul nor the world. Society, as
it is now constituted, denies the in
vidual the right to do right. And,
then, there is sense in which the
individual has no right to do right,
until he achieves that right in behalf
of and in company with his brothers.
For all humanity are or should
be broth FRS and sisters and the time
has gone by when any one claiming
to be intelligent can be ignorant of
this most vital point.

THE CAPITALISM,

1t is useless to say, to those who
have kept up with the trend of the
times, and know anything-know
that capitalism, or the capitalist
class, is and, are a failure, when it
comes to being of real benefit to the
world! And why? Because, the
capitalist class has been managing
society for many years, and it's man
agement has failed. And not only
has it tailed in its management. but
it has failed deplorably, ignobly.
horribly. The capitalist class had
an opportunity such as was vouch-
safed no previous ruling class in the
history of the world. It broke away
from the rule of the old feudal aris-
tocracy and made modern society.
1t mastered matter, organized the
machinery of life, and made possible
wonderful era of mankind, wherein
no creature should cry aloud be-
cause it had not enough to eat; and
wherein for every child there would
