CONSTIPATION AND INDIGESTION

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestions are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob
ert Allison, Nation, ILL.,, writes that
when she first moved to Nation she
was a great sufferer from indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed
her and there was a feeling like a
heavy weight pressing on her stomach
and chest. She did not rest well at
night, and felt worn out a good part
of the time. One bottle of Chamber
lain's Tablets corrected this trouble
so that she has since felt like diff
ferent person. For sale by A. G

With the abdieation of the car came
the eight hour day woman suffrage and
big wage increases. 1t came so quickly
that thesRussians were er-emphatic in
their desire for changes which should
have taken weeks and months to bring
about. Nevertheless, the speaker ex-
pressed his abiding faith in the new
Russian democracy and said that it had
dawned brightly and that anything
might be asked of its noon. Toward the
close he described the conditions which
led up to the revolution and stated that
many of the circumstances, as reviewed
now, came in logical sequence Autoc-
racy and democracy cannot live together,
he ascrbed, and as far as the United
States is concerned, autoeracy must go
down and democracy must continue in
the ascendancy. That spirit abides in

work, took leave OF Russia at Vladivo-
stock, embarked on the same cruiser

THE TABLES TURNED.

1t is well to bear in mind that most of
this talk of peace is being done by Ger
many or German sympathizers at time
when Germany is hard pressed on the
field of battle and in the efforts to raise
products for sustenance When Germany
was winning and so long as Germany
was winning there was no talk on that
side about peace unless it was peace
which was forced upon the entente allies.
As long as superior German guns and
vast preponderance of munitions were
grinding the human atoms of the entente
countries into the dust of the earth there
was no word of peace from German Inns
except the sneering promise of peace
with all dishonor to the enemies of the
kaisers will, including a vast indemnity
to be paid to Germany. With all the ar
rogance of born bully Germany was
strutting about, blood soaked and sin
marred, telling Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy and the others that they
could take the peace which Germany
offered or they could feel the heel of
Prussian militarism. That was at va.
rious intervals during the last two
years.
Now the situation is changed the en-
tente allies, despite their great losses.
are gaining the ascendancy in man
power and are turning out more guns
and ammunition than Germany and her /
allies, while at the same time the United |
States is turning her tremendous power
to the delivery of the world from the
thralldom of kaiserism and Prussianism
There can be but one result if the war
continues. Germany knows it and, like
the bully, is beginning to cry for peace.
If not for quarter; but she is not vet
beaten-she is simply crying for oessa-
ton of the war in order that she NAV
renew her strength for another try later
on. To be cured OF his propensity for
fighting the bully has to be soundlv
thrashed. To be cured Of militarism
and Prussianism, Germany must be
soundly thrashed-

Of reporting and because tuberculosis is
such an insidious disease that its pres

into state of mind which demands that
cases of tuberculosis be reported prompt

Loy RED CROSS WORKERS.

Newspaper correspondence from va
rious towns throughout Vermont show
that the little branches Of the American
Red Cross society have been doing a
splendid work during the past year. and
especially during the last six months. the
period in which the United States has
been formally at war with Germany.
The members Of those branches have
been giving their time and their labor
periodically and whole -heartedly in or
der that their sons and brothers or some
body else's sons and brothers might not
suffer from the want q equipment dur
ing their cold stay in the trenches Of
western Europe. Moreover, the scope Of
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-10-13

the work seems to be growing and en-
! larging; more branches of the society
are being formed and more members are
joining the organizations already formed,
As the soldiers of the United States
take their places in the front line against
Germany there is bound to be greatly
accelerated demand for articles like those
now being supplied through the Red
Cross society, and to meet this demand
the mothers and daughters of America
must lend their services if the men are
to be kept from needless suffering and
privation. Therefore, there should be q
great movement toward providing the
needed articles. The women of Vermont
should rally as one to this fine work.
Every hamlet should have its Red Cross
branch and every branch should number
in its membership most of the women of
the community; and, the organization
completed, there should be frequent
meetings, as often as twice a week, to
sew for our soldiers and sailors who are
fighting the battle for the freedom of
the world from the thralldom of I'M
bridled autocracy. If there is no branch
of the Red Cross society in your com
munity start one at once. Information
concerning the formation of branch
will probably be given gladly if it is I
sought from the Vermont headquarters
Of the Red Cross in Burlington. Vermont
ought to be thoroughly organized for this
work

The utter lack of comment by the
state department at Washington as il
hands out the evidence of German du-
plicity and trickery toward the United
States indicates the confidence of the
state department that the charge is
proven. 1t is not found necessary to ex-
plain, amplify or emphasize any part of
the damning evidence; the guilt of Ger
many stands out clearly.
