TAKE CARE OF
YOURLIVER
And 1t VIII Take Care Of
Your Constipation.

The liver Is supposed to furnish the
proper amount of bile for the intes-
tines. This bile has two purposes-to
help digest in the intestines that part
of your food which the stomach is not
meant TO digest and to act as nature's
laxative and prevent constipation.
It Is plain to be seen that oils and
the ordinary laxatives which do not
act on the liver give only temporary
relief. If you want to get real and
lasting results you've got to take the
, remedy that acts on the liver and
causes 1t to furnish the bile which in
turn acts on the bowels. The name of
I this simple but sure homo treatment
is Natures Remedy-popularly known
as Mr. Tablets.
An Mr. Tablet at night before re-
firing will tone up the stomach. nut
your liver to work and in the morning
act thoroughly, but without gripping
on the bowels. Natures Remedy also
relieves rheumatism, acts benefctally
on the kidneys and purifies the blood
No household should be without its
box of Mr. Tablets-taken in time
they will break up colds and prevent
much sickness arising from disordered
stomach or bowels.
Get ESQ box Of Mr. Tablets and
take one tonight-you'n feel better in
the morning.

"POISON PEN" WRITERS
BUSY IN COLLINGSWOOD

widely known in politics in Ceilings
wood. N. J., are suspected OF being the
authors Of a series OF poison pen let
ters" which have been mailed to Mrs.
W. H. Hay, wife Of W. H. Hay. president
OF the Taxpayers League OF Ceilings
wood, which is waging a fight against
certain candidates for councils. One OF
the letters has threatened to burn the
Hay home unless the league and its mem
bers cease their campaign against can
didates who have the support of the Re
publican machine OF Collingswood.
The letters, through which the identity
of the suspected persons was established,
were turned over to James c. Cortelyou,
chief postal inspector, of Philadelphia,
today, and an investigation was ordered.
Arrests OF the writer's OF the letters, it
was reported today, are likely to be made
shortly.
Besides making threats to burn the

81, 900 900 armor plant featured a meet
ing OF the Hebrew Perpetual Association
yesterday afternoon.
Messrs. Dfnofsky and Lesser, support
ing the affirmative, cited the advantages
of proximity to other government mill
tary establishments here and to the naval
proving ground at Indian Head, and the
possibility Of Harvesting the power OF
Great Falls to run the armor plant, as
the chief arguments in favor Of its being
located here; while Messrs Kornfeld and

PASTOR MAKES APPEAL
FOR ARMENIAN RELIEF
Rev. John Van Schaick. Jr.. Tells Con-
gregation of Dire Suffering.

An appeal for relief for the suffering
Armenians and Syrians in the war zone
was made yesterday morning in the
Church Of Our Father. by the pastor,
Rev. John Van schaick, Jr.. president OF
the Board Of Education. His text was
Acts 16:9-"And a vision appeared to Paul
in the night: there stood a man Of Mace
donIa, and prayed him, saying, Como
over into Macedonia and help u.s."
IAN have heard OF a Macedonian cry
for help" said DR.. Van Schaick. Here
Is where the expression originates. When
we say a Macedonian cry. we mean an
urgent cry.
I'VE meet today in obedience TO the
proclamation OF the President issued in
response to a resolution of the Congress
calling US to think of the great need OF
our brethren across the seas
To-day we are asked to think not only
OF Europe, but of Asia Our thought goes
to the country we call the Holy Land,
the country OF Bethlehem and Nazareth
and Jerusalem, the race which produced
Peter and James and John, and the
Syrian Christ. We are asked to think of
the Armenians. a branch of the white
race, representatives of the Oldest estab-
lished Christianity in the world. All of
the authorities agree that the Armenians
are one Of the finest Of races, physically.
and one OF the most progressive and
capable mentally and morally.
What happened to the Armenlans
does not seem possible in this twentieth
century.
Orders were issued to remove three or
four millions OF Armenians from their
homes. I won't try to tell you how II
was done. or what has happened, except
to say that the survivors are starving to
death. 1t seems incredible. but 1t is true,
that 81 will keep one person alive a month
or longer, and that SIS will enable an
Armenian family to be established in
comparative comfort"

MRS. CAMPER MAKES
PHENOMENAL GAIN
BY TAKING DRECO
Well-Known Virginia Lady
Says She Has Gained
Ten Pounds.

1T may sound strange, but have
actually gained ten pounds since I be-
gan taking Dreco, and I have only
taken three bottles" writes Mrs. E. c.
Camper, of Baileys, Va.
81 had stomach trouble and rheu-
matism for two years. and was all
nervous and run down. My appetite
fell off to nearly nothing, and what
little I did eat didn't seem to agree
with me. Sometimes I would just
feel like never would want an
other bite to eat.
Il suffered with rheumatism nearly
all the time, too, and this trouble, to-
gether with the stomach trouble l
had, pulled me down. I was so ner-
vous and upset I couldn't sleep hardly
any, and I would get so blue and dis
felt sometimes like never would
get well.
That's just the condition I was in
when 1 began taking Dreco, but just
look at me now-honestly, I have got
ten so fat and have changed so peo-
pie hardly know me. Everybody is
surprised at the way Dreco has help
ed me, and all of my friends and
neighbors say 1 look like I have never
had a sick day in my life. But that's
not all. Dreco has relieved me of all

for a little touch of rheumatism occa-
sionally, and my work don't bother

there is another medicine on earth

Tuskegee Appeals for Christmas Gifts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The late DR.. Booker L. Washington,
founder of the Tuskegee Institute, year by
year appealed TO generous friends for Christ
mas membranes of one kind and another
to be distributed through him to the colored
children of the South, who without such
Christmas membranes would have moth
ing to remind them Of the Christmas season.
Floods, the boil weevil and Industrial cond-
tons generally among the negro farming
classes have brought about rather depress-
ing state of affairs. Many people are in
actual distress and want, while in hundreds
and thousands OF homes there will be little
TO indicate that Christmas is time of joy
and blessing. Anything whatsoever, no mat
ter how inexpensive, will brighten a situation
otherwise largely unrelieved by any cheering
ray.
| shall be glad to serve as did Or. Washing
ton; that Is, TO act as the intermediary
through whom the public may transmit their
gifts 10 these children, and TO take pains TO
see that they reach those who are worthy,
distributing them over as wide section of
the South as possible, through Tuskegee off,
shoot schools, graduates, former students,
Jeanes Fund workers, etc.

LIQUID FUNDS"
The Federal Reserve Boards Solicitude Is
Directed Toward Investment Securities

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The admonition, or warning, or In
struction, whichever you may call 1t, that
the Federal Reserve Board gave to the mem
Der banks of the Federal Reserve system
was centred on the words Liquid funds"
1t seems rather strange that the guardians
of our national banks, the Federal Reserve
Board, should show such intense solicitude
for the individual banks when the British and
French government Treasury bills are about
to be offered, but remain silent as they have
been doing for over two years on the invest
ments of the banks, running up TO the hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars.
On October 81, 1914, there were held by the
national banks "bonds and other securities"
amounting to the value of S905,277 .164, but
since that date the holdings Of such securities
have increased very largely. These are not
liquid funds" II Il is the duty Of our banks
to keep their funds liquid, available for
short credit facilities to our merchants, man
ufacturers and farmers" using the language
of the Federal Reserve Board, why does the
Federal Reserve Board keep silent on the
locking up of over thousand million dollars
in securities? 1t raises the suspicion that
some influence in the Federal Reserve Board
had hypnotized the members of the board and
those members of the advisory council of
the board, and that the influence Is Of German
extraction. J. II. B.
