MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly
more subject to appendicitis than
women. Olympia people should know
that a few doses Of simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent
appendicitis. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. The INSTANT, easy action of
Adler-i-ka is surprising. F.. G. Nun

FOREIGN SITUATION
IS AGAIN SERIOUS
EVIDENCE TENDS TO INDICATE,
DISREGARD FOR L. :. BY
GERMANY.


Confronted with an accumulation
OF circumstantial evidence which
would seem to indicate that Germany
has engaged upon a campaign of sub
marine warfare which has no regard
for the rights Of American citizens
travelling on merchant ships Of bellig-
orent nationalities. President Wilson
and his cabinet consider the present
one Of the most serious situations
which has confronted the United
States since the beginning Of the war
In Europe.
Every agency open to the state de-
partment is being employed in an
effort to gather an unimpeachable
array Of facts regarding the explosion
which damaged the British channel
steamer Sussex, the sinking Of the
British ships Manchester Engineer,
Englishman. Eagle Point and the
Dutch steamer Tubantia. and the al
legged firing Of q torpedo at the
French passenger ship Patria. All Of
these ships carried American citizens,
and all apparently we're attacked in
violation Of Germany's recently re-
newed assurances to the United
States.
To Combine All Cases,
The next step of the United States

determined upon. Unless Germany.
In reply to the inquiries made by the
United States through Ambassador
Gerard. makes some statement to
cause the state department to change
its present intentions. it is understood

dents will be combined in one general

bring the entire subject to q clear-cut

tuberculosis had made heavy de-

come had entirely stopped for several
months. 1t was inevitable that they
should run into debt for grocery bills
as well az the rent. With such worry,
anxiety and depression it is not al
ways easy to find silver lining In
the clouds. The condition was recog-
nized, however. by the visiting nurse.
and the sick father was sent to hos

for the others. Relief was also Cd
tanned, and now both rent bills and
grocery bills are being gradually lessen

family has had nursing care for some

with opposition, but finally persuaded
the authorities. with the result that on
