Your liver acts as a watchdog and helps to keep
your system free from poisons, and from the diseases
due to self poisoning.
Your health may depend upon keeping your
liver active.
A purifying medicine is frequently needed, to
stir up your liver into the proper activity, induce the
bowels to act freely and purge the system from del
ctcrious matter.
Thedfordts Black Draught has been doing this
successfully for many years, and is today one of the
favorite liver medicines in the South, where liver
medicines are SO much used.

WAR ARTICLES

Beginning this week The Citizen
will print series Of articles by
Professor Robertson on the war into
which We have entered. with special
reference to our own connection
with il.
These articles will be written in
cooperation with the National
Board Of Historical Service, at
Washington. This Board was re-
Gently organized for the purpose OF
bringing into active service OF the
country students Of history and pub
lie affairs. They desire 10 bring out
an expression Of the sentiment OF
different localities regarding the
war. They seek TO find out what
the people wish to know and need TO
know in regard TO the causes and
issues Of the war. And they desire
10 provide information Of a reliable
nature. The plan will be operated
through the press; by lectures, oral
and canned and by leaflets. A
system Of exchanges will render the
material brought out in one place
available for another.

THE UNITED STATES AT WAR

Our country has declared war
against Germany, and has gone far
along the way toward making that
declaration effective. Surely IL be-
comes us as a people 10 have ideas
as clear as possible OF the motives
that have led To our action and OF
the issues at stake.
The population OF the mountain
counties have been quick in their
response to every demand made
upon them thus far. They have sent
many OF their strong young men 10
the army and the navy. They have
eagerly listened TO those who have
been urging an increased produc-
ton OF food products and have
planted their seed.
The people OF the mountains are
not likely to become lost in net
work Of subtle distractions in re-
gard to the cause Of any movement.
Almost by instinct they have sensed
the real motive. II was in the de-
tense OF Liberty that the mountain
people fought in the American Rev.
olution, the War OF 1912, and the
Civil War. No people in America
have been quicker to realize that
the war upon which we have enter
cd is a war OF Liberty, on a scale
more gigantic than the world has
ever seen.
Mountain sections are the preser-
vers of Liberty, throughout the
world. IL is part of their every
day life. II is their contribution to
the life Of the nation. No one can
give TO America better Keynote
for the present crisis than the
mountaineer. On the seal OF West
Virginia. designed by an Alsatian
artist, is the motto: "Montani Sem
