Chamberlain's Tablets.

Chamberlain's Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bill
iousness and constipation, and have
met with much success in the treat
ment of those diseases. People who
have suffered for years with stomach
trouble and have been unable to obtain
any permanent relief have been COM
pletely curedby the use of these tab
let's. Chamberlain's Tablets are also
of great value for biliousness. Chronic
constipation may be permanently
cured by taking Chamberlain's Tab
lets and observing the plain printed
directions with each bottle.

When 4 manufacturer or other pro-

Dloyment to men and creates more
real wealth as he progresses year by

better to make people self-supportlns

tiilers OF the soil of our state to cul-
tivate the largest possible acreage this
year, in order that there may be an
abundant food supply, the, further
thought forces itself upon us-the
question of harvest. 1t is an apparent
approaching fact that with enlist

activities in the munitions factories
in the east and middle vest, there
is bound to be a shortage OF help
when the time comes to harvest the
crops in this state.
The failure of our farmer legislature
to pass any legislation which
would, in measure, protect
them from the element known
as the /. w. WIS, means that
there is trouble ahead for the farmer
at time when he must have help.
The problem before the people OF

to help save the crops?" and this
