President Wilson's Message
 AppToUed by Ex-President.

Concerning the message delivered to congress Mon day by President Wilson, EX- President Taft said:
 ''The presidents message is an admirable setting forth of the causes that must lead the United States into a declaration of war. It is a great historical state paper. The entente allies are now fighting our battles of world progress and we should be recreant to every principal of honor and decency if we do not subscribe to the presi- dents policy in a firm union in this war with France, England, Russia, Italy and their allies"
 Ex-President Roosevelt in commenting on President Wilson's message said:
 "The presidents message is a great state paper, which will rank in history among the great state papers of which Americans in future years will be proud. It 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, as effectively as possi- ble in aggressive war against the government of Germany. We must send troops to the firing line as rapidly as pos sible. Defensive war is hope less. We must by vigorous offensive warfare win the right to have our voice in- civilization and justice when the time for peace comes.
 '1, of course, very earnest ly hope that I may be allow ed to raise a division for i'm mediate service at the front. "

Constipation and Indigestion

These are twin evils. Persons suffering from indigestion are often troubled with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, H., writes that when she first moved to Mattoon she was a great sufferer from indigestion and constipation. Food distress ed her and there was a feeling like a heavy weight pressing on her stomach and chest. She did not rest we'll at night, and felt worn out good part of the time. One bottle of Chamber Iain's tablets corrected this trouble so that she has since felt like a different person. adv,

KESLER ASKS TO
DESTROY STACKS
Fire Hazard to City Would Be
LeSsened, He Says,

With a view Of removing unneces-
sary fire hazards, Mark Kesier, com
missioner OF public safety, is having an
ordinance drawn which would give
his department the power to destroy
"shaoks."
According to the commissioner, these
so-oalled shacks are especially numer-
II in the residence district in Okla
homa City, and in the event OF a fire
would tend to spread the flames from
one residepce TO another.
Kesler has been making a fight fI
the removal OF these shacks for some'
time, and has urged property owners
in the interest OF the community to
have them demolished. The ordinance
would give his department the author
ity to tear the buildings down in the
event the owner did not do so after
having been notified BY the department.
