The DR.. Dickerson's Staff of Specialists

They are specialists. The Doctors treat,

blood, skin, and all internal organs, rheu-
matism, sciatica, leg ulcers, tapeworm,
weak lungs and all long standing, deep

less Surgeons" Each member of the Dr.
Dickerson's staff has at his command the
knowledge and resources of the whole Or
ganization- Many people go on suffering

fcient number of sufferers from the
diseases mentioned to SUPPORT sneciaI
hospitals for their treatment ard cure.
DR.. Dickerson has solved the problem. His
highly trained specialists travel from place
to place. They diagnose and prescribe
course of treatment FOR the sufferers in each
community, and teach them how to
take care of themselves at home, and
are too well known in this locality to
need further mention.
Worn-out and rundown men or
women, no matter what your ailment
may be, no matter what you have been
told, or the experience you have had
with other physicians, you should not
fail to grasp this wonderful oppor-

Italians were slamming them with
such artillery as they had. "You
could smash that little town easily"
observed the Kansas man.
ooh, yes-but why? It's a beau
tiful little town. Why destroy it?"
Their theory was of course that if
they captured the Austrian trenches
the town would go with the trenches
and they would want the inhabitants
of the little town as Italians, and to
have them as Italian subjects they
would be easier to handle if they
loved and respected Italy. And also
they reasoned: If we don't take the
Austrian trenches, why smash the
little town. It will do US no good.
And there is the whole difference
between the German civilization and
the civilization which is making this
war upon Germany world wide. The
civilization of the allies is based es-
sentially upon fellowship, humanity,
brotherhood. The German civiliza-
ton is based essentially upon a ma
terialistic philosophy, which holds
that might makes right, and has no
othe- tenet modifying that conclu-
sion. And the awful vanity of Ger
many holding that philosophy in its
heart, and pushing that philosophy
upon humanity ruthlessly with sci
entific frightfulness is the whole rea-
son for the war.
We are dealing with new kind of
creature. The Germany which turned
it's back upon Heine and Schiller ano
Goethe and Beethoven and followed
the Prussians to the logical end of
the materialistic philosophy of force,
stands with its back to the wall and
will live or die for its creed. If it
lives, that creed will go "uber allies"
and Christianity will fail in the
world
That is the meaning of the war.
William Allen White.

that he had enough money and when
his family thought that he needed a

the old gentleman became very uneasy

his own misery to those about him.
Cases of this kind are common enough,
and i'll large proportion of them the

should the business man be more tired

any harder than the professional man

who is always represented TO US in the

for no eXertion whatever on his part
