CAN HARDLY GET
ENOUGH TO EAT
Since TAKING II

Travelling Salesman Now Feels Bet
ter. Eats Better, and Sleeps Bet
ter, Since Taking Dreco.
The best evidence of medicines
merits is what people who have ac-
tually taken it say about 1t, and
this is especially true when such
statements are made by people OF
high character right here IN the
city where they are published
where every fact can be investigated
and verified. That proves the non
estv of the manufacturer also.
Recently the following signed
statement was made by Mr. D.. u.
Boyd, of 1909 Hamlin street north
east, Washington, who for years
has been the representative for the
Aunt Jemima Mills Co. He says:
81 had heard so much about the
wonderful merits of Dreco in cases
of stomach trouble, gastritis, constl-
patton, headaches, billiousness, loss
of appetite and general rundown
conditions, | decided to try it. You
NAV think this is strange, but it's
positively true, that the first dose
helped me, for it seemed to soothe
my stomach and relieve that bloated
telling. Now, I had suffered good
many years and spent lots of money
trying to get relieved of this stom-
ach trouble, so you can imagine
how happy l was to know at last |
had found just the medicine | need
ed. I have improved right along,
day by day, and now am as we'll as
/ ever was in my life. No more con-
stipation, headaches or biliousness;
my appetite is so good | can hardly
get enough to eat, but the best OF
all is that no matter how much |
eat | am not bothered afterward
with the former pains, sourness or
gas. l am glad to speak a good
word for Dreco, for it's all right
there's no doubt about that.
Dreco, the powerful reconstruc-
tive tonic, made from roots and
herbs, is sold and recommended by

"son," said his mother, eyes all red,
"Both your grandfathers fought and
bled
To keep this country safe and free
Won't you 60 out and fight fer me 9, =
"Why should I fight?" the son replied
Haven't enough already died?
Besides-you know my heart is weak
I'd rather turn the other cheek"
So women watched the Stacker sit.
And watch their sons go do their bit;
While they prepared to shed then
gore
He prated of the "crime of war"

LAUDs PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

That President wilson's message
met with the hearty approval OF the
prominent men of the nation as well
as the rank and file, is well Illustrated
by the commentator accorded 1T by
former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft gave out the following
Yesterday at New Haven, Conn.
"The Presidents message IS an adj
uirable setting forth of the cases
that must lead the United States in
to a declaration of war. 1t is great
historical state paper. Its restrained
and moderated phrases give it wond-
erful strength. 1t covers the entire
field upon which we are now entering.
It's approval of universal compulsory
service and of close practical al
lance with England, France and Rus
STA in overcoming Prussian milltar-
ism shows the Presidents determine
ton that the country when in war
shall wage it effectively.
"The Entente Allies are now fight
ing our battles as we'll as the battles
of world progress, and we should be
recreant to every principle of honor
and decency if we do not subscribe
to the Presidents policy in firm
union in this war with France, Eng
land, Russia, Italy and their Allies.
"The emphasis which he lays upon
the fall of absolutism in Russia and
the hoped-for destruction of the mill
tary dynasty in Prussia and Germany,
and the distinction between the Ger
man people and the house. of Hohen-
zollern and Jlnketdom awa]iensndeei'
sympathetic response in the heart
of every loyal American grounded
in the principles of liberty and the
rule of the people"
EX-President Roosevelt, on his
way home from Florida, stopped at
Washington yesterday and called at
the White House to congratulate
Mr.. Wilson. He went to the main
door of the Executive Mansion,
where he learned that the President
had gone over to his offices. He
told the chief usher he was only in
town between trains and wished 70
congratulate the President on "his
great state paper" The Colonel
left his card and departed without
seeing the President.
Later, standing in the midst of a
great crowd in the railroad station
here, the Colonel dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
"The Presidents message is a
great state paper, which will rank
in history among the great state
papers of which Americans in flu
ture years will be proud. 1t now
rests with the people of the country
to see that we put in practice the
policy the President has outlined
and that we strike as hard. as soon
and as effectively as possible in ag-
gressive war against the Govern
ment of Germany. We must send
troops to the firing line as rapidly
as possible Defensive war is hope
less. We must by vigorous offensive
warfare win the right to have our
voice count for civilization and JUS
tice when the time for peace comes.
Il, of course, very earnestly hope
that may be allowed to raise a d.
vision for immediate service at the
front. | guarantee that no finer
body of fighting men could be gath
cred together than there would be
in that division.

One Of the finest things which any
community can have is Il true vision
of its possibilities and the ambition
and determination to bring them to
realization. The community that
does not. fails in its duty and is
very properly put down as back
number.
That German agents will stop at
no act of inhumanity is we'll illus
trated in the charge that is made
showing that they have been en-
deavoring to place ground glass and
poisons in bandages prepared for
the use of United States soldiers.
Immediate death by shooting is al
together tooigood for such diabolical
scoundrels. All patience with for
eigners found to be spies should
end now.
