Dangers of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most dan
gerous, and the result is Neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles, or perhaps
an attack of Rheumatism. In such
cases apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t slim
ulates circulation to the sore and pain
full part. The blood flows freely and in
a short time the stiffness and pain
leaves. Those suffering from Neural
gia or Neuralgia Headache will find one
or two applications of Sloan's Lini-
ment will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price Csc at your

Boat Campaign Against NeutraIs.
Action of President Has Purpose of
Uniting Neutral Nations of Earth
as to the Rights of Humanity When
World Is Battle Torn.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.. - President
Wilson went before congress on the
German submarine issue at p. M The
note which the President intended to
send to Germany was held up. The
Presidents action clearly indicated
the very serious nature of the note,
which is virtually an ultimatum, and
the news that the President would
address congress came Unexpectedly
and with dramatic suddenness.
1t had been announced that the
President would confer with congress
sional leaders before putting the note
on the cable but after the cabinet
meeting it was decided that the far
reaching consequences of a possible
refusal by Germany to accede to the
Presidents demands fully justified
his addressing congress on the sub
ject.
Don't Need Congressional Sanction.
The President asks no action On the
part of congress. His executive pre-
rogative does not demand that he OBJ
tain congressional sanction for a sew
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany or action which may lead To
this.
But the President realizes that sew
erance of diplomatic relations may
even lead to the necessity for more
drastic action and consequently feels
that the legislative branch of the gov
eminent should be consulted. Besides
the President had practically pledged
himself to consult congress before
taking any definite action on the
German situation.
Obtains Congress- Consent.
Having informed congress of his in
tention and after obtainig the tacil
consent of congress to go ahead, the
President addressed his final warning
to Germany on the submarine issue.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, conferred with Secretary
Lansing at the state department but
said he had no news from his govern
ment which changes the situation.
It was understood that the ambassa-
dor had no instructions to consider
anv specific case now in controversy
between the two governments, but to
take up the subject broadly and to
seek the viewpoint of the American
government in the present situation
Refuse to Abandon U-Boats.
Count Won Bernstorff told Mr.. Lam
sing that Germany could under no
circumstances give up submarine
warfare which, he reiterated, was in
retaliation for the British food block
ade of Germany, but that his govern
ment was attempting to conduct it IN
accord with international law and the
assurances given to the United States.
For any unauthorized violations Of
those assurances, he reiterated, Ger
many was ready to make amends
Secretary Tumulty went to the cap
itol after the cabinet meeting and took
up the question of joint session with
Majority Leader Kitchin of the house,
Majority Leader Kern of the senate
and Senator Stone, chairman OF the
foreign relations committee. They i'm
mediately went into conference with
Speaker Clark.
Arrangements were made at the
capitol for passing a resolution imme.
diately providing for a joint session
of both houses to receive the Presi-
dents message.

held his hearers enthralled for al
most thirty minutes. Secrets OF the
Printer" was the theme from which
he spoke, but when he had completed
his address he hadn't disclosed many
of them.
DR. Freeman declared that all print
ing ablishments should be union
unionsm from top to bottom. He told
the printers that they should give
their union their presence and coun-
sel--not alone when the delegates to
a convention are chosen or when the
little "plums" are awarded, but in
the transa ction of all business.
You should give the union the
same loyal faith you give your wife
or your church. remembering that to
some men you are mirror of organ
ized labor, and that labor will be
judged by you" declared the speaker.
The man who has no faith in a broth

tentially a traitor"
