WONDERFUL REMEDY IN
time TO SAVE WOMAN
Mrs. Williams Gets on Way to Health
After First Dose Of
Treatment.

Mrs. Peter Williams of 2749 Eight
eenth st., S. Minneapolis, was desper-
ately ill with stomach trouble. She
faced the probability of an operation.
After taking Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy, discovered for her by kind
friend, she found herself on the way
back to health. Mrs Williams wrote:
Il have taken Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy for the fourth time and l am
feeling like new woman. ! am en-
tirely out of pain. I had been sick
for eighteen months and four of our
best doctors could do nothing for me.
They all agreed that an operation
was the only thing. One day man
told my husband of your remedy and
that night he brought it home to me-"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it
on an absolute guarantee-if not salts
factory money will be returned.

MACHINE THAT TALKS
First State Bank Takes Long Step
Forward in Adding to Their
Office Equipment.

A piece of lifeless machinery that
thinks and thinks accurately, that
renders mistakes impossible, a ma
chine that seems to be possessed of a
sense of moral consciousness, so hon.
estly and conscientiously does it do its
work, has just been installed in the
First State Bank of Sank Centre
This machine not only has brains and
a conscience, but it has executive abil-
ity. 1t posts ledgers and makes out
customers statements.
There will be no more night work
or balancing pass books, for the bank
has done away with the old pass-book
system and adopted the statement
system which the big city banks are
using.
People who are not acquainted with
the inside workings of a bank will
not fully recognize the great advan-
tages of machine work over hand
work in posting to the ledger. The
big advantages of using the machine
is the saving in time and in the i'm
provement in the appearance ano
legibility of the ledger sheet. The
bank will save at least so per cent
in time by the machine method. Then
too, there is no possibility of an error
as the machine cannot make a mis-
take. The saving in the time means
something to the patrons of the bank
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-06-17

for this time can be devoted to the
improvement of service.
The bank is also using the machine
in connection with its recently adopt
ed system of sending out monthly
statements. The statements are writ
ten entirely on the machine, which
means absolute accuracy and printed
figures. The big new feature, of
course, is that the customer will no
longer have to wait for his pass-book
to be balanced.
| This system puts the bank on a par
with the best up-to-date big city
banks, enabling tito give the most
modern banking service to its patrons.
Instead of bringing in the pass-book
to be balanced once month each GUS
toner will get neatly printed state
ment of his account when he wants it.,
or regularly at times agreed upon be-
tween himself and the bank. The
statements being made on the ma
chine will, Of course, be absolutely
accurate.
The machine was purchased from
the Burroughs Adding Machine Com
pany of Detroit, and is known as the
Burrough adding-subtracting ma
chine. 1t prints dates, adds old bal
ances, and deposits, subtracts checks,
computes and prints balances, and au-
tomatically detects and marks over
drafts. All the operator has to do is
to put down the amounts. All further
mental effort in computing statements
is eliminated. In addition the machine
can be used just like an ordinary
Burroughs on al kinds of bank figure
work.
The machine has caused no little
excitement at the bank and has in
terested business men. Depositors
have marveled at this wonderful ma
chine with "steel brains" which has
cut out the drudgery formerly con-
nected with the regular routine of the
bank. The machine was invented by
William Seward Burroughs.

THE EPIsTOLORY CONFLICT.

The diplomatic contest, the letter
writing conflict between the United
States and Germany goes merrily or
apace. After a series of transgres-
sions, on the part of Germany
against the rules of humanity and the
laws of nations, ending with the de,
struction of the lives of over 1OC
lives of American citizens, the Pres.
ident indicted a note to the Imperial
government of Germany, couched In
terms of almost servile friendliness
calling attention to such violation and
politely requesting their dlcontlnu'
ance.
In due course of time-very due
the Imperial government makes re-
ply, expressing profound regret that
American lives were lost, but careful
ly refraining from expressing any for
the action causing such result and
containing not the slightest intlma-
tion that such action would be discon-
tinued.
After carefully digesting this COM
munication the President makes re-
ply.
President Wilson is master of die
ton. He can enwrap the strongest
statements with a sugar-coating of
pleasant phraseology so as not to
make it appear as severe or critical
as it is.
In this last note he disposes of ev-
every demand in way and manner
that is convincing but at which the
most captious cannot find any ground
for offense.
This note is masterpiece of di-
plomatic correspondence, yet through
it runs line of wavering indecision.
The President unequivocally states
that the Lusitania was not armed with
masked cannon, did not carry Cana
dian soldiers, but was vigorously ex-
amined by officials and its cargo COM
piled strictly with the navigation laws
of the United States. This was flat
contradiction of the German note and
beyond all doubt an accurate state
ment of fact. Yet the President null
ifies this statement by saying if this
is not true present your evidence of
its falsity.
The note lacks finality. 1t is an ul-
timatum that does not ultimate. The
situation is just where it was when the
correspondence begun. Germany has
not changed her methods of submar-
inc warfare in the slightest and there
is no promise or probability that she
will do so. All the correspondence
that has stirred up the nation and
ruptured the cabinet has brought no
results, -
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-06-17
THE LUsITANIA AND ITS CARGO

The note of the Imperial govern
ment of Germany makes three speci-
fic statements in regard to the Lusi-
tania and its cargo: that the ship car
ried Canadian troops; that it carried
concealed cannon and trained gunners
TO handle them; that is cargo con-
sisted largely of explosive ammuni-
ton, but it does not give any inkling
of how it obtained this information or
offer scintilla of evidence in sup
port of its contention.
The ordinary citizen does not re-
alize the extreme gravity of these
charges.
The laws of the United States
strictly declare that no troops of a
belligerent nation shall pass through
the territory of the United States or
embark from any of it's ports; that no
vessel flying a belligerent flag shall
leave its ports bearing ornaments,
and citizens of the United States are
prohibited from sailing as passengers
on ships carrying munitions of war.
Before the Lusitania sailed the off
Gals of the United States made an in
spection of the vessel and her clear
ance.
If Germany's contentious were true,
these officials were either grossly
negligent or criminally culpable and
should not only be punished by
prompt dismissal, but be made to suf-
fer long terms of Imprisonment. If
they are true, and Germany was in
possession of this knowledge, it was
her plain duty to cable this informa-
ton to the state department and make
official protest against her sailing.
If such protest had been made and
the charges found true, it would have
been the duty of this government to
have interned the vessel the same as
if had been a man of war. Simply be-
cause vessel carries passengers does
not make it merchantmen. The sim
pie fact that these charges were not
made until after the vessel was blown
up is prima facia evidence of their
fabrican.
1t Germany's contentious are true
the permitting of the vessel to sail
was not only a violation of the laws
of neutrality but was tantamount to
an act of war.
1t the contentious are not true, ac-
cording to the ethics of nations, the
making of them is a graver offense
than the act complained Of.

THE GRADUATES

more or less have temporarily shut up
more or les, have temporarily shut up
shop; amid a skirty whirl of gradual
ing gowns; a cackle of boiled shirt
bosoms; the indefinable odor of little
used dress suits preserved in moth
balls, worn by callow youths who are
puzzled to know what to do with thier
hands and feet; an avalanche OF
graduating essays elevating mundane
efforts to such a lofty, idealic plane OF
thought and action that we poor NOR
tails who have only lived so or 60
years will have no excuse for seeking
secluded spots and kick ourselves for
existing.
How we oldsters like to poke fun
at these fiedgling graduates, if they
are not our fiedgling graduates, then
it is different.
We delight to direct attention to
their freshness, for they are fresh;
point out their conceit, for they are
conceited; ridicule their egotism, for
they are egotistical, and smile at
their ambition, for they are ambitious.
We are somewhat resentful of their
thinly yelled presumption that they
are going to run the world, but we
might as well reconcile ourselves to
the fact that that is what they are
going to do, not yet, but soon.
They will make mistakes, commit
blunders, some will fall by the way
side, some will cowardly give up the
struggle and drift, but the great army
will go forward, ever forward, learn
ing by their mistakes, profting by
their blunders, strengthening them
selves by their falls, until they reach
the full measure of manhood and
womanhood and wrest the scepter of
affairs from our slipping grasp,
whether we will or no. We love to
think that the mental training and
self-subdugation resultant from such
training, their broadened vision from
communication with intelligence, their
lofty ideals and christian morality,
developed from association with the
high-minded, has so trained and fitted
them that the work of futurity will be
better performed than the work of the
past.
Thank God we have, here in Ameri-
ca, an un-numbered army of youthful
vitality, armed with be-ribboned diplo-
mas, instead of sabers, marching for
ward to conquer the hosts of error.
May we not hope that we can see the
beginning of the triumph foretold by
the prophets of old, of intelligence
over force? ...a
Go to it, kids! = :.
