JOHN BULL AS BRUTAL
AS GERMANY DARE BE

Mr.. Watterson in the Courier
Journal says:
The murderous precipitancy by
which the deluded Irish rebels were
rushed against a wall in the Tower
of London and shot to death seems
the browning act of imbecility of a
Ministry which has fallen short of
every attribute of wisdom, efficiency
and strength from the very begin
ming of the present war. That these
men were technically guilty of trea-
son will not be denied. But they
were entitled to the plea of being
half-crazed zealots whose ill-judged
and ill-starred movement had been
completely crushed and who as in
surrectionary leaders were no Ion
ger of public menace. Their eXecu-
ton was unnecessary, ungenerous
and cruel. 1t was not required as a
warning 1t could not encourage the
men in the field. Il only shows US
that John Bull can be as brutal as
any other savage when his blood is
stirred, and that there is no more
Christian Spirit in Downing Street
than in the Wilhelmstrasse. To He'll
with barbarism in London equally
with barbarism in Berlin.

ATTEMPTS TO WALK ON -~.......-..

Chicago, May tS.-'I will walk
on the waters" Dan Pakovich, a re-
ligious fanatic, announced here,

Lake, Indiana, near Robertsdale.
Two boys from Whiting saw him
walk deliberately into the water,
brandishing a stick and singing. He
plunged steadily ahead, the water
reaching his knees and then to his
shoulders.
Wolfe Lake is little over a mile
wide. The water in it is very shall
low, however, and Pakovich, still
chanting a hymn, had gone more
than a mile and was Within $50
feet of the farther bank when he
threw up his arms and sank into a

TOX|CAT|ON IS
SELF POISONING
Few Realize Causes OF This Form
of AiIment.

Few realize what a great number
of people, among those who live in
such cities as this, suffer from auto
intoxication. This condition, which
has caused so much discussion, is
nothing more nor less than a slow
self-poisoning of vital organs. 1t is
the very foundation of many all
ments.
When the organs become weaken
ed from any cause they are unable
to throw off the accumulations of
waste matters. The putrefactive
germs soon begin to get in their
deadly work and the sufferer finally
is a direct victim of poisons generat-
ed right in his own system.
Among the common results of
this auto-intoxication are jaundice,
hard cold, constipation, Indigestion
and fermenting of food, biliousness,
sick headaches, backaches, diar-
rhoea, dizziness, pains in the kidney
region and nervousness.
Tanlac is designated especially to
combat this condition of congestion
brought about by administration.
It's properties as a tonic and invig-
GRANT tend to throw off the poisons
and to spur the organs back to need
ed efforts-in short, to clean them
and make them normal again.
To an automobilist it might be
said that Tanlac acts as spark
plug in the human mechanism. 1t
starts the vital engines and then
keeps them going at properly reg
ulated speed.
Tanlac is now obtainable in Hart
ford at the Ohio County Drug Co.,
where it is being daily explained
during the constantly increasing de-
mand.
