THIS WOMAN SAYS
FRIENDS MARVEL AT
WONDERFUL CHANGE

81 don't know how many of my
friends have asked me lately, What
on earth has come over you? You
don't look like the same person we
knew few months ago. and / an
swer them with one word, 'Dreco.' l
am honestly living testimonial for
that medicine, and you are more tnan
welcome to print my case, for I am
grateful for it." Thus spoke Mrs.
Fanna Stevens, Of 942 Florida avenue
northwest, Washington, D. c.
81 had not been, to say, we'll for
about eight years. My digestion was
poor and was getting worse, until t
was taking medicine of some sort al
the time. Some days l felt worse
than others, but didn't seem to get
any permanent relief. After while
I lost my appetite altogether, and
what food l forced down seemed to
sour and form gas in my stomach.
My liver was very sluggish, too, and
I suffered misery from sick head
ache.
|.Als time went on other complica-
tions set in. l grew weak and ner-
vous and lost great deal of strength
and weight and had dull, languid
feeling all the time. My complexion
got sallow, like had no blood left IN
me. Nighttime was hideous, as l just
could not sleep to do any good and
I'd often awaken with a sudden start.
| was continually constipated and
had to take something every night of
my life.
"About this time there was a great
amount of talk going around about
the root-and- herb medicine Dreco, so
decided to try it, and right then I
got on the right road to health. l
took it regularly and faithfully and
in a few days I was enthusiastic over
it, for it certainly was making me
feel better. have now taken three
bottles of Dreco and my complexion
has cleared up, my color, appetite and
strength have returned to me. l
now sleep fine and my liver is acting
and am never bothered day with
constipation I just feel full of life and
energy and know Dreco. is the great
est medicine on earth. 1t proved it in

than it was on the Somme, while the
casualties are mounting up as at Ver-
dun.
During one German councer-attaek
on Monday a force OF TOO Germans
took one bit of trench from a British
outpost. The Germans continued to
press forward, not noticing that they
were passing an isolated trench sec
ton ON their right. When they were
well beyond it several hundred BIT
ish soldiers poured out OF this trench
section and the Germans, trapped pc
tween two khaki lines, were absoiu-
tely wiped out in the fighting which
followed it. 1t was general melee
in which the cries of the men engaged
hand to hand could be heard plainly
Many people in these fearful times
talk of the long-forecasted battle OF
Alrmageddon, and suggest that this
titanic conflict is verification OF the
visions of the seers. of old.
1t might prove interesting, now
ever, to those who never made a
study of the matter were they %
read the latter part of the book OF
Ezekiel, one of the prophets of the
captivity. He tells of a time when
Judea will again be in the hands Oh
the descendants Of Abraham, anu
that Jerusaem will be attacked by ma
ton which will suffer an overwheim-
ing defeat. 1t will take six months
to bury the dead, and enough DEBRIS
will be left on the battlefield to keep
the Israelites in frewood for seven
years. -,
The whole history Of Egypt shows
that it can only be safe from hostlle
attacks if it is defended from Pal
estine. Either Palestine must be an
unwarlike, neutral state, or it must
be occupied by the power that gov
erns. or in the case of Great Brit
ain protects Egypt, French and ltal-
ian Catholics might resent its being
governed by mainly Protestant
Britain: British and American Chris
tians might dislike its coming under
the dominion of Greek or Armenian
churches. The best solution IS the
recreation of Palestine as jewish
State. 1t will be one of the many
splendid achievements Of this horrl-
BILE war if we not only restore Po-
lands nationality, but the Kingdom
of Israel to the Jews.

THE FIRST SHOT

The story of the captain OF the
steamship Mongolia shot from
which sank a German submarine VIII
be read with interest, The shot went
straight to it's mark in the. defense
of civilization and international law,
and every American will be proud OF
the admirable aim of the navy gun
ners who were on board.
Since Germany has forced war up
on the United States by its brutal and
criminal disregard Of. the rights OF
neutrals it is altogether fitting that
the first shot fred in the conflict be-
tween the two nations should come
from an American merchant vessel
which, upholding the rights OF us
country and refusing ITO be uriVen
from the sea by Teutonic threats, met
the submarine coolly and courage
ouslv and treated it just as pirate
craft should be treated. It Is most ap-
propriate, too, that such an incident
should have occurred on the anniver-
sary of the day when the embattled
farmers at Lexington "fired the shot
heard around the world. "
= There should be no mercy Tor sucn
an abominable style Of warfare as
that adopted by Germany in It's c1-
forts to terrorize other nations. mo
Teutonic submarine deserves any con-
sideration, for it's purpose is con-
fessedly piratical. Americans may
therefore felicitate themselves upon
the fine results accomplished IN this
first brush with the enemy and IN
dulge the hope that many such Bulls
eyes shall be scored by our accom-
plished gunners.
