SWEPT STATEFROM
 BORDER ID BORDER
Texas Is Rejuvenated and Made Younger by Won derful Earth Fluid,
 Vitalitas

In the last IF months. new life, en- ergy and health has been injected into the whole state of Texas by the new earth fluid Vitalitas. This wonderful liquid was discovered in Texas and on home grounds it has accomplished such remarkable things that the attention of the whole world has been attracted
 Texas is today healthier. happier and more energetic than before Vitalitas came to relieve its sick and suffering. There are more people Tn Texas today praising Vitalitas than any other medi- cine on the market. There are more Ni- talitas bottles in Texas homes than bot ties of any other character. It has swept the state from border to border. People in all walks of life have recog nized it's wonderful merits
 There is a way that news of real merit travels quicker than by print CTS ink This way is what one neigh bor tells another. Mere printers ink can't accomplish what Vitalitas has in its sweep over Texas. It is now mak ing its advent into many other states and it will quickly become household word as 1t is in the great state of Tex as See the interesting display and sam- pie Vitalitas today at Averty's drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street, or write there for booklet

SAYS BAD WAR NEWS
 SHOULD BE GIVEN OUT

London, November 25.-do:57 p. m) Sir Stanley Buckmaster, director of the official press bureau of the war office. told the House of Commons tonight that he had no sympathy with the view that bad news should be prohibited. It was possible. though. he said, that there might be circumstances in which full disclosure of events might not be de- sirabe and even might prove disastrous.
 Sir Stanley said the censorship should have no concern with politics and in no circumstances should be used for color ing opinion in favor of the government. If that were done, he said, the govern ment would abuse the confidence of the nation and be guilty of base action.
 The government accepted amendments to the defense of the realm bill, defining the powers of the government with re- gard to action that could be taken in matters relating to the publication of news.
