WHAT, NO MORE?

Marse Henry Watterson finds upon
reading the Congressional Record
exilirs, stomach bitters, nerve re-
storers and bone liniments which
contain from five to ten times as
much alcohol as beer and that some
of them contain more alcohol than
whiskey or absfinthe. These. it
seems, are the varieties of disguised
booze, which "cause the deacon's
wife TO feel like n new-woman, and
inspire the Deacon to write a testi-
monial of their powers.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.7Swed-
sh-German duplicity. which has
threatened to embrciI Argentina and
Germany, was exposed by the State
Department, Thursday, as working
it's inimical hand in Mexico.
The Swedish Charge d'Affairs in
Mexico City gave to the German
Minister there information from the
allied countries. He transmitted
messages for the German Minister
through the Swedish Foreign Office
to Berlin.
So extensive and so valuable were
his services up to March, 1916, that
Herr Won Eckhardt, German Minister,
recommended that the Kaiser bestow
upon Herr Folke Cronholm, the Swe-
dish Charge d'Affairs, an imperial
German decoration, it's award to be
kept secret until after the war.
A copy of the letter, recounting
these services and making this rec
ommendation from Won Eckhardt to
the German Chancellor, was made
public by Secretary of State Lam
sing, Thursday. The document fol-
lows:
Imperial LoSdIlOU, McAlCO.
"His Excellency, the Imperial
Chancellor:
Herr Folke Cronholm, the Swe-
dish Charge d'Affairs here, since his
arrival has not disguised his sympa-
thy for Germany and has entered
into close relations with this lega-
ton. He is the only diplo-
mat through whom information
from hostile camp can be obtained.
Moreover, he acts as intermediary
for official diplomatic intercourse
between this legation and Your Ex-
cellency.
"In the course of this, he is obliged
to go personally each time to the tel
egraph office, not seldom quite late
at night, in order to hand in the tel
egrams.
Herr CornhOlm was formerly at
Picking and at Tokyo, and was re-
sponsible for the preliminary ar
rangements which had to be made for
the representation of his country in
each case. Before he came out here
he had been in charge of the Con-
sulate-General at Hamburg Herr
Cornholm has not got Swedish, but

II venture to submit to Your Elk

ct would perhaps be desirable in
order not to excite the enemy's sus-
picion to treat with secrecy the mat
ter of the issue of the patents until
the end of the war, should the de-
cision be favorable to my suggestion. |
"This would mean that the mtater
would be communicated to no one
but the recipient and his Govern
ment, and even to them only under
the seal of secrecy, while the publ
cation of the bestowal of. the decora-
ton would be postponed until the
end of the war. 1 should be partic- |
ularly grateful to Your EXcellency if

graphic news of the bestowal of the |

mend in view of the circumstances

At the same time that this an
was made the Secretary
of State gave out report from Ira

that, while the Swedish Foreign
Office was transmitting German mes
sages in German code for the Ger

No Time For Excuses.

It has now been fifty-tWo years
since the Civil War closed, yet you
have possibly noticed the contempt
the American people have. even to
this day, for the man who either
sent substitute or Matched up an
excuse for remaining at home
It may be there are men in Paris
or Bourbon county who sent a substi-
tute to the Civil War, or who
trumped up an excuse to stay at
home. We don't know, nor do we
care. If they are here it is safe to
say that some very hard things have
been said about them, and it is also
certain that unkind things will con-
tinue to be said about them as long
as they live. Not only that, but the
stigma will attach to their children
and their children's children. 1t
takes more than a generation to live
down the reputation of having shirk-
ed when duty called, not only in
Paris, but in other parts of the
State.
The Paris man of to-day has be-
fore MIN an example in these fellows
who lodged duty and were, in one
sense, traitors to their country dur
ing the Civil War. If he doesn't want
to be pointed out by his fellow men
and even by little children in the
years to come as a coward and a
shirk, he should lose no time in offer
ing himself to his country. 1t may
be that he will be rejected In that
event he can go through life with a
high head, for he will have the salts
faction of knowing that he did his
duty.
= There should be no excuses offered
now. Some that have been offered
have been proven ridiculous. Some
hid from the draft act under the
guise of being agriculturists--for in
stance, one young fellow who quit a
position in Paris, went to the coun-
try to lives and claimed to be a
farmer. They got his number just
the same, and he's bound for the
mobilization camp soon. No Paris
man need subject himself and his
wife and children to criticism by
failure to do his duty at this time.
The peace of his future life, the
happiness of his children is at stake.
Tt is up to every young man, to every
middle-aged man in Paris and Bour-
bon county TO decide now If he
wants the finger of scorn and the
sheer of contempt directed at him,
at everyone who bears his name, as
long as it has been directed at those
who shirked during the Civil War.
1t is surprising the number of
Paris men who have not yet learned
