Universal Military Training

Various senator's propose to exert
their influence to get congress to act
on the plan for universal military
training: The subject of preparedness
was generally accepted year ago as
of prime Importance to the nation.
There was widespread sentiment in
favor of universal training. Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon embodied the
subject in bill that was in fair way
to become law when we became a
belligerent. The interest in universal
training was swallowed up for the mo-
ment by the more pressing demands
for immediate military training.
The war was not diminished but
rather has increased the realization
that we should not permit ourselves
to be caught again in the condition We
were. Now that work of getting
ready for the fight with Germany is
well under way it will be well to give
attention to settled policy of pre-
paredness would be very likely to in
sure peace in the future. No nation
would be disposed to quarrel with us
if we had 10000, 900 young men ready
for service on a moments notice, The
country that is looking for a fight is
not seeking defeat. but speedy vic
tory. A rich and helpless nation such
as we have been offers greatest temp
tation to international bullies.
None who has followed the course
of international events in the last
twenty years believes that the millions
we have expended on our navy were
wasted. 1t is more than likely that
the peace we have enjoyed was made
possible by the fact that we were pro-
tected to a degree that discouraged
any from seeking clash with us. A
first class navy. backed by universal
military training, would be the best
peace insurance the United States
could buy And such preparedness
would be of inestimable physical
worth to the young men Of the
country, aside from its military inn
portance to the nation.

One CAN DEPEND
UPON STATEMENT
OF HIS NEICHBOR.
Norris N Smith. of Rome, Ga, Tells
of Bad Stomach Condition and
What Vitona Did For Him.

Home folks-neighbors-are most
frequently the people who know and
who are willing to tell the world
about the benefits derived from a
medicine originated in their midst.
When they speak in the highestpraise
of the tremendous help medicine
is to them, declaring that they
would not be without it in their
home under any circumstances, and
do this without any pecuniary re-
ward, you can always place absolute
dependence upon such statements.
Here, for instance, is statement
from Norris N Smith. He is well
known real estate man of Rome, Ga,
from right near which city the min
eral is found from which Vitona is
made. Here is what Mr. Smith says:
For some time l had suffered
from a general rundown condition.
I had bad stomach trouble OF some
kind, and could eat and retain but
little solid food. Frequently after
a meal, even though I would eat
very lightly, would be sick on my
stomach, and in a short time would
lose what 1 had eaten. | began
using Vitona because I had heard OF
its good effects, and was told that
| it would give me relief. Within
one weeks time, after taking as di-
rected, I began to show steady i'm
provement, and in short time was
absolutely cured. I feel entirely
we'll now, and contribute my con-
dition to Vitona. I would not be
without it in my house under any
circumstances.
Not only in cases similar to MIR
Smiths, but in all cases of stomach,
kidney, liver, catarrhal trouble, Vi
tona goes straight to the seat OF al
lection.
It is a strong and ideal combatant
where one is troubled with sleepi-
ness after meals, flushing OF face,
extreme lassitude, biliousness, diz-
ziness, sick headache, acidity OF
the stomach, heartburn, offensive
breath, anemia, loss of wei ght and
muscular power, decrease of vitality
or lowering of resistance to infec-
tious diseases, disturbances Of the
eye, dyspepsia, indigestion, gastritis,
and many forms of catarrh, ear at
fections and allied ailments.
Vitona is the new medical dis
covery that has made such Won
dorful record in sales throughout
South Carolsna, though introduced
into this State only few weeks ago.
Vitona is sold in Kingstree ex-
clusively by Kingstree Drug 20.
