statement of H. $. Warner of 444 Fairview avenue: "I have a brand new ambition since I took your W1lderbs. When I start for work in the morning I feel like digging in and believe am worth twice as much to the firm. Why, at one time here I had rheuma- tism so bad and was so run down l didn't even feel like talking to any, body. ached all over, malaria SUD- pose and hadano ambition. was los ing weight right along. I bet l was the most skeptical man in Bridgeport about medicines. I have tried so many that did not help me, but I read so much good about your Wilderbs that I was finally won over to your methods and bought a. bottle. Well, sir, it gave me the greatest relief ever right from the start too. I haven't an ache or pain now, and I have gained fifteen pounds in weight since began it. I sleep we'll too: I am glad to recommend this. Wilderbs because I think it is a wonderful medicine and want everyone to know how much good it has done me. Take it from me, fellow citizens if you don't feel just right get bottle of this medi- cine and you will never regret it.'

l should lead by way of conspicuous r

should lead by way of conspicuous example.
 "I wish that all problems of gov ernment were displayed in as clear lines of duty as this problem of gov ernment with regard to how the farmer ought to ne treated is dis played. I wish, for example, that for eign affairs were as simple as agricul- ture The great satisfaction about what you have to discuss is that when once our duty is determined, we have got great force of intelligence to go forward in the line. of duty.
 ''I did not intend when I came here to say as much as I have, or to dis course in the least about agriculture, but I did want to congratulate you upon the opportunity now to study upon a scale as wide as the world the great business in whic you are engaged, and to express my very pro- found interest in the more recent de- velopments of agriculture in the Unit ed States which have been converting g it from an occupation into a syste- matic business which have been introducing the things which make Q free country-counsel and co-opera- ton.
 ''The thing that makes a free coun- try vital is the large number of people who get together to do important things without asking the leave of the government to do them. The strik- ing thing about a great country like the United States is that if the gov ernment neglected everything, the peoDl0 wO111d do if. that VOL do not beckon to the people of the United States. They command you to go on and things that are neglected they have got plenty of brains to get to- gether and do for themselves.
 '.A1l these organizations of busi- ness men and manufacturers and ad- vertising men and farmers, and ev- erybody else that has the same occu- patton. are just great combination of brains to keep alive the whole vital intelligence of the nation. They do not wait on anybody's invitation to do things unpremeditated for them. They illustrate at every turn of what they do the extraordinary vitality of this nation. The farmers have got together long enough, and it is only recently that the country has appre- ciated just how much it has left to the farmer to do what the government ought to have done for him. I am very proud to have lived in a time and be affiliated with the government at time when these things were be- coming manifest, and the duty of the government toward the farmer was partially performed"

BELGIAN POLICY OF BERLIN BRINGS WARNING FROM U. s.
 THAT II VIOLATES PLEDGES

of the Allies toward Germany and their desire for peace through a crushing victory. Foreign Minister lBeyens and Cardinal Mercier of Bel gium have issued public appeals to ton of the deportations. Great Brit ain also is deeply concerned.
 ' Reports as to the execution of the deportations vary in detail but not in principle. Those who goito Ger many voluntarily are made to sigh a general free-will contract under which they are assur good food, a salary, guarantee of care for their families and freedom of correspondence with them. Those refusing to sign are to be coerced, where possible, through imprisonment If this is successful in securing signature, the labor is compulsory at 30 pfennigs (about z cents)' a day, without provision for families or permission to corres- pond.
 The deportatons assumed their most systematic form when on Oct. 10 the German governor general was reported to have requested the presi- dents of the Comites Nationals de Se- cours, under penalty of imprison- ment, to furnish lists of all Belgians receiving aid. Many of the presidents refused and were at once put in jail. On the basis of the lists that were obtained. however, drafts were begun at once.o
 No accurate information has been received either as to how many have been deported or where The work to which they have been sent. is des- ignated as industrial"

Physical Bankruptcy" Is Fate Of Men And Women Whose Diges-
 tion Is Weak.

"Ae your means paying dividends in the shape of healthy stay there flesh, put blood and strong nerves? or are they plunging you into physical bank ruptcy?" These are the direct ques- tions that were flung at half a dozen spectators at Hindle's Main and State street store the other day by T. $. Jackson, health expert and lecturer for Dr. Pierce of Buffalo. Then he continued:
 Every meal that you eat should give you more than mere hunger sat isfaction, more than the mere perfor nance of habit. It should increase your supply of blood, bone and mus cle. It should give you more vim, vigor, vitality and strength to enable you to pleasantly and profitably en- joy life. Food that gives only tempor- ary satisfaction is of no value what ever to the system. You have noticed how some people never get plump. No matter, how big an appetite they have they always stay scrawny and thin. They are weak. anaemic, easily tired out and always complaining about feeling all in,' which is no joke but often the start of some severe sick ness. Such folks are usually unhappy. They have the blues and are full of gloom most of the time. They are always weary, nervous anu lIIlldUIe. They are not apt to sleep sound. Their stomach, liver and bowels are a con- stant~ source of trouble to them. Belching and bloating of gas, bilious ness, headaches, dizzines, indiges- ton, constipation, dyspepsia, back ache and other ailments keep them in constant misery. There is something radically wrong with skinny people who are wretched most of the time and it is nearly always traceahle to the digestive tract. The food Ns not. properly dissolved and distributed. It is like money thrown in to the ocean. It becomes mere waste matter which is not turned into nutriment. The success of the Wilderb treatment as a reconstructor, appetizer, rev1tallzer and invigorant is. due to it's ability to mix with food and aid the digestion of it, besides assisting in the assimila- tion so that what you eat really bene- fits you. When the stomach, liver and bowels are in good working order, the foundation of health has been laid. Wilderbs Gull extract) was especially

Washington, Nov. 15.-Deportation of Belgian civilians into Germany for forced labor has reached such serious proportions that American Charge Grew at Berlin has been directed by the State Department to take the mat ter up personally with Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg.
 The Charge was requested to say that such deportations could not but have a most unfortunate effect on neutral opinion, particularly in the United States, which has the welfare of the Belgian civilian population very much at heart.
 Zimmerman Admits Plan.
 The instructions, it was learned yes- terday, followed a. long report from Charge Grew, in which he stated that he had discussed the situation infor- mally and unofficially with Herr Zim- mermann, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The latter admitted that a definite policy had been adopted to enforce the labor of Belgians in eases where they would not work volunta- rily, on the ground that so many re- fused to work as to make the strain on public charity intolerable.
 The deportations are viewed here not only as a violation of interna- tiona1 law. but in a degree as a viola ton of Germany's assurances to Am bassaGor Gerard, last June, which, though relating to the 10000 French women and girls deported from Iille, Roubaix and Tourcoing, are felt to be applicable to the. Belgian situation.
 At that time. when MT. Gerard had gone to general headquarters in France to discuss the attack on the Sussex with Emperor William, all the American relief workers in Northern France were Called into conference and assurances given by the Germans that no further deportations woAld be made. The case of the Belgians is considered identical in principle.
 Reports from Rome that the United States has joined or, will join the Vatican, Spain or tbs Netherlands in joint protest are declared untrue. In this question, as in the many others that have arisen during the war, the United States will act independently.
 Would Increase Bitterness.
 The deportations are regarded by some officials here as an attempt to release German workers for the firing line by replacing them with Belgians. More than any other one thing, this is expected to increase the bitterness

 NOV A LAXATIVE.

Do not confuse the Wildcrb treatment with Laxative medicines that simply move the bowels and no more. Persistent use of such medi- cines will eventually ''paralyze" the bowels. Wilderbs assists Nature to restore health without moving the bowels any oftener than is the resu- lar daily habit.
