tor of the principal Lutheran Church
in Leipsig. as follows:> Germany
stands for Christianity: her enemies
are the enemies of true religion. 1t
is this knowledge that enables us to
rejoice and be glad, with hearts full
of thankfulness, when our engines
of war. in the air, strike down the
sons of Satan, and when our WON
derful submarines send thousands of
the unelect to the bottom of the
sea. We must fight the wicked by all
possible means: their sufferings
must please us; their cries of an
guish must fall on deaf German ears /;
there can be no compromise with
the forces of hell; no pity for the
slaves of Satan. In other words, no
quarter for the English, French and
Russians, and all other peoples who
have lent themselves to the devil"
He declared that the nations at
last see that Germany has wanted
as many nations as possible to re-
main neutral until England be crush
ed, and then she hopes to crush the
other nations at her will. This war
is uncovering the sore spots in our
body polite. Our social club life,
our beer gardens, the saloon and
similar vices have sapped the virtues
of an enduring manhood. The war
will bring national prohibition of the
liquor traffic, and many other ma
tional blessings much quicker than
could have been accomplished had Ii
not come upon us"

Get together NOW. Organize
clubs and look over the field to see
where the spots are upon which food
can be raised. List all the vacant
lots and find out where there are
large tracts of land where vegetables
can be raised. All this land should
be used and it is up to the people to
get together at once"

ETo Overcome Eczema

4, Never mind how often you have
tried and failed, you can stop burning,
itching eczema quickly by applying a
little zemo furnished by any druggist
for 25c or $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zeno is applied. In short
time usually every trace of eczema,
tetter, pimples, rash, black heads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
, For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo,
the penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is
not a greasy salve and it does not stain.
When others fail it is the one depend
