TRACE DISEASE
no CONSTIPATION

One of the points on which
different schools of medicine
practically agree is, that ABOUT
SIS per cent of all human disease
is directly traceable to intes-
final putrcfaction Of stomach
waste due to inactivity OF the
bowels, or constipation. me
eliminative process is an essen
tial factor in digestion and on
it's proper functioning depends
the welfare OF the entire sys-
tenn. ,.,.
Constipation is a condition
that should never be neglected.
As soon as the bowels evidence
the slightest disposition to slow
up, a mild laxative should be
taken. The combination OF sim
rle laxative herbs with pepsln,
known as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores
for fifty cents a bottle, is highly
recommended as a corrective,
acting gently, in an easy natur-
al way, without gripping or other
pain or discomfort. A trial bot
tie of this excellent family rem
edy can be obtained, free OF
charge, by writing to DR.. W. B.
Caldwell, 456 Washington st.,
Monticello, Illinois.

Many North Dakota Couples
Were Not Legally Married

Claims for exemptions filed with
the district board are revealing the
fact that many of North Dakotas for
eign-5orn citizens who are living
together as man and wife and some
of whom have raised good.sized fam,
lilies, never have been married. These
people, it is evident, believed the
purchase Of a marriage license suffi-
ciont to bind them in legal wedlock.
These marriage licenses have been
submitted to the district board in sup
port of claims, and in many in
stances no return has been made in
dicating that an actual marriage cere-
mory was performed by priest, par.
son or magistrate. The board may
undertake to advise these people of
their status, in order that they may
legally wed, legitimatize their chill
dren, and avoid complications which

Tearing Off the Mask.

There will be no passports issued
by the American government to
Socialists desiring to attend the
Stockholm conference.
By this announcement the United
States has branded the whole pow
WOW as pure piece of German
propaganda for separate peace with
Russia. 1t is eloquent in its sharp
ness and decisiveness.
There has been no doubt Of the
true character of the Stockholm con-
ference from the day it was first pro-
posed. Germany has been straining
every nerve to palsy the hand of the
new Russian administration in its
conduct of the war; to worry it into
break with the entente, if possible.
The Socialists hold the whiphand in
Russia; in Germany, despite such in
dependent spirits as Harden and Le-
bedour, they are more or less of a
cat's-paw in the hands of the autoc-
racy, or at least, some elements in
the party are.
Morris Hillquit, Fred Berger, and
other Socialists in the United States
who desired to go to Stockholm will
have to remain at home. Whether
these men consciously planned to
dance to the German fiddle or not, it
is clear that that was the role they
were assigned to play. The Ameri-
can government prevents them from
doing so.
Germany tacitly admits that her
seheming for separate peace with
Russia has failed. The United States
is putting the finishing touches to the
failure.

DR.. Braisted was graduated from the
medical department of the University
of Michigan in 1883. and three years
later received the degree OF n. D, from
Columbia University. He completed his
medical education with a service OF
more than two years at Bellevue Hos
pital in New York City. In 1888 he
began the practice of his profession in
Detroit. After two years OF private
practice he entered the naval service
as an assistant surgeon and was pro-
NOTED to surgeon in 1918.

How would you like to be a physician
or surgeon and have your list Of clients
increased by nearly 10000 In a single
month? Such is the experience OF DR..
William c. Braisted, the present surgeon
general of the United States navy. and
the man who, above all others, is charged
with the preservation of the health OF
the American sailor and marine during
the present war.
The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,
of which he is the official head, superin-
tends everything relating to medicines.
medical stores surgical instruments and
hospital supplies required for the sick
and wounded for the navy and Marine
Corps. Except as otherwise provided for.
the duties of the bureau also include the
upkeep and operation OF the medical sup
ply depots, the medical laboratories.

schools for the medical and hospital
corps and the administration of the nurse
corps, dental corps and medical reserve
corps
Born in Toledo,
Dr. Braisted was born in Toledo, Ohio,
50 years ago. but he does not look more
than 40. One at first suspects he is only
S5 and that his hair has turned prema-
turely gray. He got his foot fairly on
the ladder under Serg. Gen. Rixey. OF the
Public Health Service. Rixey was a pro-
gressive and an enthusiast In those
days the naval hopsitals were about as
bad as they could be. Braisted shared
with RiXey the credit due for their i'm
provement. They are now mighty good
hospitals indeed
At the battle Of Puerto Cabello Brai-
sted's services in caring for the Nene-
zuelan wounded earned him the order of
Bolivar. A decoration also was bestowed
upon him by the Emperor Of Japan. And
he has been honored with the presidency

Editor The Washington Herald: Your
editorial on the front page OF The Wash

1917, is more than a revelation to me.
! am sure that that editorial breathes
the spirit of great many in the entire
nation, who are powerless to make them
selves heard, concerning the gripping
autocratic powers granted our President.
1t is TO thank God to see that there are
some men left in our country brave
enough to think for themselves and to
not be swayed from what is right by the
great war delirium which is at present
sweeping our 'land of the free, and
home of the brave" Right will prevail
