Says Drink Water If You
Wish to Grow Fat and Plump
THIN MEN AND WOMEN.
Do You Want to Get Fat and
Be Strong?


Be Strong?
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods, rub
bling on useless "fesh creams" or
following some foolish physical cul-
ture stunt, while the real cause of
thinness goes untouched. You can
not get fat until your digestive tract
properly assimilates the food you
eat. Drink a glass of cold water
four or five times day and take the
following preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere,
which seemingly embodies the miss
ing elements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This prepara-
ton is called Tonoline, and much re-
markable testimony is given as to
its successful use in flesh building.
TOnoline which comes in the form of
small non-injurious tablet, taken
at meals and mixed with the digest
ing food, tends to prepare fat, flesh
and muscle building elements so that
the blood can readily accept and car
ry them to the starved portion of the
body. You can readily picture the
transformation that additional and
previously lacking flesh making mate
rial should bring to your cheeks, fill
ing out hollOws about your neck,
shoulders and bust disappearing, and
your taking on from Is to 80 pounds
of solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is
harmless, inexpensive, efficient The
Dawson Drug Co., and Williams
Pharmacy, Shellman, have it and are
authorized to refund your money if
weight increase is not obtained as
per the guarantee found in each
large package.
Caution :-Tonoline is recommend
ed only as a flesh builder and while
excellent results in cases of nervous
indigestion, etc., have been reported,
car should be taken about using it
unless gain in weight is desired.

BLOOD As A NERVE TONIC

'If people would only attend to their
blood, instead OF worrying themselves
i'll" said an eminent nerve specialist,
1--WE doctors should not see our consult
ing rooms crowded with nervous wrecks
More people suffer from worry than
from anything else"
The sort of thing which the specialist
spoke of is the nervous rundown con-
dition caused by overwork and the
many anIieties OF today. Sufferers
find themselves tired, morose, low
spirited, unable to keep their mind on
anything. Any sudden noise hurts
like blow. They are full of ground
less fears and cannot sleep at night.
.Doetoring the nerves with poisonous
sedstives is a terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
of rich blood. Therefore the treatment
for neurssthenis, nervousness, and run
down health is the new rich blood which
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are able to
make. The revived appetite, improved
spirits and new strength which come
after few days use of the pills will
delight every sufferer.

TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS.
France Will Save Her Weakened Soldiers
After the War.

Paris. March l2.--France is already or
ganizing to combat the spread of tuber-
culosis after the war among men who
have been weakened by the hardships of
campaigning. There are at present l00,-
600 men in the army attacked by this
disease, of whom about 10000 have been
sent back to their homes. AT least an
other 100000 will come back from Ger
man prison camps with the same i'll, and
great chain OF national sanitoriums is
proposed to deal with the plague. Two
and half million francs have already
been subscribed, and a program of work
has been drawn up which will involve
the expenditure of many millions more.
In 1915 a yearly credit was opened by
the government which assures tubercu
lous soldiers certain amount of as
sistance during the war, and at present
the administration has in hand four mil
lion francs for this purpose There is
also an arrangement which allows a tu
berculous soldier to have three months
treatment in civil sanatorium at the
expense of the state before he is dis
charged from the army.
Before the war tuberculosis caused ten
per cent of the deaths in France, and was
the cause OF half the deaths of persons
who died between the ages of 20 and 40.

abroad are taxed to the utmost. There
is only one British steamship company
that has under its control more than 100
vessels, and among the big British lines
the average number of vessels under a
single management is about 20. Among
the tramps' there are few companies or
firms having more than IL vessels. With
this form of management, the shipowner
is kept in the closest possible touch with
each vessel on every voyage, and also
with the requirements of the shippers
and receivers of the cargo"
Touching on the subject of shipping
under neutral flags, the report says:
"The cardinal fact of the situation is
that after satisfying war demands, the
total shipping available in the world is
not sufficient to carry the cargoes de-
to be transported. 1t must be
realized that we are in great measure de-
pendent on the carrying power of vessels
under foreign flags. Under peace condi.
tions, the employment of foreign vessels
was business convenience, but with the
war demands, it is now an absolute ne
cessity. The following table shows the
extent to which our imports of food and
raw materials have been, and are now
being carried in vessels under our own
and other flags:

British Foreign

THE carrying power employed under
peace conditions is taken as 1901
"As the total shipping tonnage now
available is insufficient to carry all that
we are accustomed to import, the man
agement we must have is that which will
bring in the greatest volume of the sup
plies of which we are most in need. I'm
der normal conditions, the oversee food
supplies of the nation amounted to more
than 100000 tons year, while over
seas supplies of raw material amounted
to about 26,000,000 tons. To bring in
these supplies, British and foreign yes
sells made upwards of 10000 voyages in
the year Notwithstanding the disorgan
ization due to the war, the extent of
which il il almost impossible to exag-
gerate, our supplies of all essentials and
of many conveniences and even luxuries
have been maintained. The whole reduc-
tion in our foreign trade as regards i'm
ports may be shown by the following
tonnage figures for six months prior to
the war, as compared with the six cur
rent months: Total earnings, six months,
1914, 25,s00,000; total tonnage, six
months ending Jan. 81, 1917, 2l, 100000"
Discussing the states efforts to exer-
else some control over neutral shipping,
the report says
1.-THE association views with grave con-
Germ the action of the state in regard to
foreign shipping Under normal condi /
tions such shipping would be regarded as
our competitor, but now it is essential |
to our existence as a nation that we
should obtain the maximum of ocean
power under both the British |
and foreign flags. 1t must be recognized |
that while on the one hand the enemy by |
his submarine campaign is doing his ut
most to stop foreign ships carrying for
the United Kingdom, on the other hand.
neutrals all over the world are in most
urgent need of foreign tonnage, as they
have been deprived in very great meas
ure of the carrying power of the British
ships upon which they relied in time of
peace.
ut is inevitable that foreign tonnage
win accept the most advantageous EN-.
DIoyment offered therefore. TO meet the
additional war risks, the United King

PROTEST ALLIED BLOCKADE.

what is most painful" says the pro-
test, sis that the blockade is being CON
tinued even after the government has
accepted and executed the onerous con-
ditions of the last ultimatum of the pow
ers, who have formulated no new de-
mands whose acceptance could bring
about the lifting of the blockade.
"This last measure touches the harm
less population of men, old folks and
children whose lives are respected even in
time of war.
"Under the protection of the blockade
a revolutionary movement conducted by
a small number OF traitors is spread in
the Egean islands by brandishing the
spectre of hunger. The foodstuffs con-
signed to the commission charged with
supplying food to the country are seized
by the very powers maintaining the
blockade and turned over in violation of
all justice to those who have fomented
and directed the Saloniki movement.
This arrangement makes ii evident that
even when the blockade is raised, the
country will be menaced by famine. This
situation has greatly upset the CONNER
cial relations with all neutral countries
and especially with the United States.
All the unions and syndicates OF
working men, through the signstories of
those present address the liveliest pro-
test to all the neutral lands against this
violation of every human and divine
right, and particularly approach the gov
eminent of the United States in the
hope that it will be willing TO use its
voice to bring about a cessation of these
unheard of measures against a neutral |
state"

Finances Staggering, Which,
With Shortage Of Food,
May End the War
SAY ADVICES TO
PRESIDENT WILSON
Kiting Her Checks, It Is Re.
ported-Short Rations
Rule Everywhere

Washington, March l2.-tSermany's
financial system is staggering to the
breaking point This. coupled with a
growing shortage of food that pinches
more and more, is gradually squeezing
out the endurance of the German nation
and bringing the end of the war nearer.
These facts are revealed by information
in possession of this government to-day.
This information tending to verify the
meagre news of approaching starvation
coming out of Germany stresses, however,
refers TO the financial side more than the
food situation. As to the latter, there
are conflicting evidences, though all show
that starvation may come as only a mat
ter of months provided the war con-
tinues.
But on the financial side there is evil
dence that Germany ia practically Exit
ing" her checks. She is draining the gold
of the whole nation, and having no &C
cess to her ordinary outside credit agen
cies, she must virtually 'rob Peter to
paw Paul"-make one loan stand as pay
ment for another.
Information to the United Press Sat
urday indicated that state approach
ing national bankruptcy will result if
the war goes on much longer. Hence,
while the American armament of mer-
chantmen presages war or state of war,
peace probably is really just beyond the
horizon.
The food situation is pictured as ex-
tremely depressing. Short rations are
the portion everywhere. One of the |
striking evidences of how short OF food !
Germany really is lies in the complaint |
Of American Yarrowdale prisoners that
their fare was ecanty and poor. The |
real story is that they were put on ra

ITALY WILL REDEEM
ALL HER WAR BONDS
Country Is Far Richer Than Strangers
Give Her Credit For, According
to Minister of States
Luzzatti.

| Rome, March l2.--Italy will be abb,
to redeem her war bonds to the last lire
! through the earnings of the new indus
| trial enterprises developed by the war
| according to Minister of State LUG
Luzzatti, Italys best known financier
To correspondent of the Associated
Press he said:
Italy is far richer than strangers give
her credit for. 1t is a striking fact that
we have surprised ourselves during the
struggles of this war. In time of dam
ger we have discovered capacities which
have astonished us, particularly in our
industries. We have now operating more
than 1000 factories for war materials,
employing about half million workers.
Americans know how saving are the ltal-
ians who go to them Therefore it may
not astonish them to know that in war
times our savings banks are actually in
creasing their deposits, despite the heavy
popular subscriptions to our war loan.
Among all the nations, this ! wish
to declare: Italy in the past has al
ways been the best payer of her debts,
punctually; no one more than we have
stricter idea of the day of payment,
the keeping of which constitutes the
financial honor of people, an honor
which should be as unstained as that
of its military or political honor.
"All the foreign governments that ex
tended us talth ana credit when we were
Piedmont ana later wnen we were United
Italy, have been satisfied. We sold them
our loans lar below par, thereby giving
nigh rates OF interest and other profits;
afterwards, we were happny able 70 take
up our loans at face va4ue anu wnen
our bank bulls were equal OF gold money
values in every country, even that of the
American dollar. We had no difficulty
in converting the national bonds to the
value OF 81 900, 100000, or S,G00,000000
lire.
In July, 1914, Italian money was
quoted at par in New York. The sor-
rows and hazards OF the war came, and
to-day our money has deprecated there
by more than thirty per cent.
Already there are nations seeking to
occupy the place in Italy held before
he war by Germany. Among these are
aid to be the United States. We well
.ome commercial relations with the Unit
ID States. We are already large buy |
II of her goods. But if the United States |
wishes to trade with us, would it not be |
,etter TO show her interest substantial. |
"
Undoubtedly we are suffering from
he old time-worn system OF internati ton
j exchange which permits of fortunes
icing made through speculation. What
ve need and what the world needs is an
International chamber of compensation
which / have proposed many times, the
atest time being at Paris last year, the
peration of which would be a great
eaceful bond statement by honest, re.
iprocal interests.
Europe just now has much paper
noney while the United States has too
much gold. The United States not only
hould, but will have to restore the gold
0 the countries which suffer fom the
,ck of il, and the sooner she restores it
he sooner will she ameliorate the crisis
