Why Consultation Injuries

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they be.
come obstructed by constipation part
of the poisonous matter which they
should carry off is absorbed into the
system, making you feel dull and stupid,
and interfering with the digestion and
assimilation Of food. This condition
is quickly relieved by Chamberlain s
Tablets. Obtainable everywhere.

WAR PERlLS COUNTRY,
THE PRESIDENT WARNS
Big Audience Hears Wilson Speak at
Chcago-United States Should
Make Arms.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Government manu-
facture of the instrumentalities of war
was appended by President Woodrow
Wilson to his program of military and
naval preparedness, the general fea-
lures Of which he dwelt upon in
speech in the Auditorium theater last
night Four other features on the
same general topic were given by the
president on his trip from Chicago to
Milwaukee during the day.
President Wilson solemnly warned
the audience in the Auditorium that
mo man can competently say Wheth-
er the United States will be drawn
into the war
The vast hall was as quiet as
death chamber when he made the
dramatic statement. The president
later stirred the assemblage to vigor-
Gus applause by declaring that this
war was brought on by rulers and not
by the people.
The applause lasted for several sec
onds. When it subsidized the president
continued vigorously:
and l thank God there is no man
in America who can bring war on
without the consent of the people"
This stirred the crowd again to Wig
orous applause.
mo man can confidently say wheth-
er the United States shall be drawn
into the struggle or not
Cruel misjudgment of this coun-
try's efforts to remain neutral is
prevalent in Europe" he declared.
1--WE have not held off from selfish
motives" he said.
Handspring and shouts greeted
the following
when l see some of my fellow citi-
zens spread finder where the sparks
are falling l wonder what their ideal
of American citizenship is
Thirty-seven hundred men and wom-
en-. including the public officials of the
state, county and city, greeted the
president as he stepped on the flag
draped and flower-bedecked platform
of the big playhouse soon after eight
o'clock

Industrial Promotion Company viii Be
Incorporated to Make Loans to
Manufacturers-L.C C. Schriber
Is Chairman.

Oshkosh.-Fifty repres entative bust
ness men of this city met at a banquet
to further promote the industrial fund
of 100000 to be used in loans to aid
infant industries of this city.
At previous meeting short time
ago called by R. G. Brown, who start
ed it, the movement met with so much
enthusiasm that the last meeting was
nearly trebled. The meeting will lead
to incorporation of the Oshkosh Indus
trial Promotion company, and will
make loans to home manufacturers
when legal restrictions bar banks from
making such loans.
Louis G. Schriber, banker, was elect
ed chairman of the finance committee
He said it was the sense of those pres
ent that this was the first proposition
of real merit that Oshkosh business
men ever had put before them and
that the proposition was in capable
hands to ultimate success; that al
ready $4,000 had been volunteered
before any one had known If the plan
would be gone any further with.
Another meeting will be held on
Feb. II, to further the association and
it's purpose.

his advanced years he actively filed
the office of chief of police up to a
few weeks ago.

Seventy per cent of all cases of

more susceptible during those months
by exposure, facilitating influences
and the presence of predisposing in
fections. The presence of other dis
eases is the great predisposing cause
of pneumonia The increased incl
dence of pneumonia at this time is
largely due to the epidemic Of grippe.
