Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the
Fee

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee,'' but as every
one knows you can help Nature very much and
thereby enable it to effect cure in much
less time than is usually required. This is
particularly true of colds. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs, liquiies
the tough mucus and aids in it's expectoration,
allays the cough and aids Nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.

The Compensation
Bill is Merely an
Equal Rights Bill

TIVE so-ca11ed Compensation Bill now before
i the Wisconsin Legislature might be called by
any other name. It doesn't grant compensa-
ton to anybody for anything. It only grants the
right to sue. That is a right every other citizen
enjoys-to go into court and ask payment for
injury Or damage sustained. It might better be
called an Equal Rights Bill.
It could be called Legal Corrective Bill for it
only corrects the statutes which today discrini~
nate against liquor men, denying them the other
wise universal right Of citizens to bring civil action
for damages Or losses
IF you are run down by street car or auto
mobile, compensation or payment for your in
juries is not handed to you You have to prove
your case in court. But the point is right here
you have the privilege and opportunity of doing
So The legal avenue is opened to you. You are
allowed to sue for damages.
And that is all the so-called Con1bef,-
sation bill provides. 1t does not grant
Compensation to bYelOcrs or anybody
else in case of Prohibition. 1t pro-
Uides no payment and carries no ap-
preparation. 1t only opens The legal
t0ay so that the man corporation
effected can go into the Circuit Court
ard ask for hearing Of his claim
for damages. Then he must prove
his case before jury, Just the
as any other petitioner.
And you sit on the jury. You grant him
measure of Compensation or you do not, according
to the evidence.
Is there anything unreasonable or unfair in
that?

RUSSIANS START
 HUGE NEW DRIVE
Attack In North on a 120
 Mile Front,

In a titanic eleventh hour effort to save her steadily crumbling southern lineand parry the threatening drive on Odessa, Russia is hurlmg thousands of shells into the northemmost Teuton front and sending the pick of her troops into unceasing attacks on front of 120 miles between the Baltic coast and Dwinsk.
 A rolling up" of the entire Teuton left is the aim. East Prussia is the goal. The great Russian drive which early in the war forced the German legions to sweep backward from the gates of Paris and led to the battle of the Marne is to be repeated if the ap- parent plans of the Russian high com. mand materializc.
 These plans, it seems have been un- der way for months Vast stores of ammunition have been accumulated he. hind the front between Riga and Dwinsk; the bulk of Russias resources are concentrated there. The Rouma- nlan defeats failed to divert either. The psychological moment was patient. ly waited for. It came when Falken. hayn's armies moved up against the Sercth line.
 The result of the lighting Is yet un. certain. The Russians recaptured m island taken by tie Germans last week.
 In Roumania the Teutons continue their sweep. Another town and 5000 prisoners have fallen to them.

 High prices the consumer is paying for fish are blamed on the retail dealer in report made to President Wilson by Hugh M Smith, chief of the bu- reau Of fisheries. Even at high prices. however, the report says, fish still is q cheaper food than other meats. EX. planning higher fish prices, Dr. Smith adds:
 The movement of consumers to eat less of relatively expensive meat and poultry and more of relatively cheap fish has undoubtedly been met by an inordinate and arbitrary increase in prices. It is significant prices received by Atlantic coast fishermen are not commensurate with the prices charged subsequently"

THE GERMAN COLONIES.

England did not engage in the En-
ropean war for the express purpose
of acquiring the German colonies, but
now that she has engaged in this
Bloody struggle, she evidently intends to
hold on to all the colonies won under
force of arms.
The loss to Germany will not be
tremendous, because the German col
onies were not worth great deal to
white men.
However, if our allies are unable to
push Germany out of France and
Belgium, the kaiser will have consid-
able to bargain with for the return of
his colonies. In other words, he will
be able to come to the peace confer
ence with the statement that he will
evacuate France and Belgium if given
back his colonies.

Today is the 140th birthday of "Old
Glory" our national emblem, which
was adopted by congress on June Ii,
1777.
The celebration of Flag Day in the
year 1917 is likely to be an occasion
long to be remembered. Since the last
celebration of the day the nation has
gone to war because of the disregard
Of the American flag on the sea. To-
day the youth of the land are enlist
ing under the flag to preserve its
Integrity. For these reasons the OBJ
scrvance of Flag Day this year pos
scsses a deeper significance than in
any other year since the custom of
celebrating the day was first estab-
lished more than a quarter of cen
tury ago.
Probably fifty million flags are
fluttering today from public and pri-
waite flagstaffs thruout the land. In
cities and towns and villages, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, the day is be-
ing observed with flag-raisings and
other exercises of patriotic nature.
In all the public schools, from the
Kindergarten to the highest institu-
tons of learning, every heart is
throbbing with jubilation, as the story
Of the struggle of our forefathers for
the maintenance of an asserted in
dependence is retold in Grafton, reel
tation and music.
The nationwide celebration of the
day signifies the calm and dignified,
yet deep and lasting patriotism of the
people of the United States. The oath
of fealty to the flag, the school chill
Gren's pledge of allegiance to tEa
Stars and Stripes, is upon the lips of
millions of loyal Americans. Native
and adopted sons alike are pledging
their allegiance to "Old Glory" and
wearing it in miniature as a token of
their loyalty.
The Stars and Stripes, the flag that
above all others stands for freedom,
was adopted by act of the Continental
congress on June ID, 1777. This act
required that the flag Of the United
States be Of IS alternate red and
white stripes, and that the Union be-
ing of 10 white stars on a blue field,
representing a new constellation.
At the time of the adoption of this
resolution, Washington is. said to have
observed: eve take the star from
Heaven, the red from our mother coun-
try, separating it by white stripes,
thus showing that we have separated
from her, and the white stripes shall
