LEADERS FOR LOYALTY

All feel grateful to President Will
son and to Governor Philip for what
they have said for loyal Germans who
are in America. While they may have
sympathized with the land of their
birth, yet nearly all are standing up
for this country, their home by adop-
ton. The leaders of this government
have explained that all of foreign birth
can best serve the. nation and them
selves by standing by the flag.
At the same time President Wilson
has let it be known that disloyalty
will be suppressed with firm hand.
All true Americans expect and will be
glad of this. Nothing will make the
present situation more aggravated
than outbreaks Of disloyalty. All
should assist to bring the present war
70 a termination and the greater the
loyalty and more concerted the move,
ment the sooner the war viii end.

When poisons accumulate in the In

Of the blood because Of the stagnation
of this part of the body, it is what we
call auto-intoxication. 1t usually pre-
cedes any sickness, and you will escape
about nine-tenths of the ills of humanity
if you keep the bowels open. Eat coarse
foods. Use plenty of olive oil in potato
or other sa1ads-with onions. The rea-
son the people of sunny Italy are heal
thy, Notwithstanding unsanitary condi.
tions, is the use of plenty of olive oil
and garlic.
Castor oil is good for children OF
adults. and especially good for aged
people, A pleasant form of vegetable
laxative that is to be had at any drug
store, was invented by DR.. Pierce, who
put together May apple, (podophyllin) !,
aloes, jalap Ask at almost any drug
store for Pleasant Pellets" and they
can be had for little money. They con-
tain no calomel and are of vegetable
constituents, therefore harmless.

TREASON

need to see it at snse In time of
war there are No two sides to the
question of loyalty. Those who are
not for this government are against

The Widow Butterflies

that made their home in a small will

was butterfly; the other was in shape
like large WasH, but much larger,

kind before. The first year the black
oRes, very few ia number, occupied
the north end. The ether, a larger
number, the south. They did not mix
at all. The next year they occupied
nearly all the grove. Phe third year
there came out vast swarm of
them. They laid their eggs and i'm
due time the grove teemed with SO
many worms, they ate every green
leaf on the willows, so, when two
thirds grown their food was all gone,
for they could eat nothing else. I
went every day to see how they man

and down the willows, growing small
Ter each day and slower. Then about
the sixth day found them ALL of
both kinds, dead and gone. The will
lows also died, but sprouted up new
shoots from the roots, and neither
of those insects ever came again.

Compensation for Wisconsin

Rhe brewers Of Wisconsin ask pee
pie to think ever certain facts and
figures whiek they present Al sA-
titling them to compensation, In ease
their BUSINESS should be eutixg6a, as
10 bids fair to be. Principally among
these facts, liz the large ameuht Of
money they have contributed, In way
Of revenue, license, local and state
licenses, taxes, etc, whieh runs inte
the billions. The first thought have
is, where this money came from pri-
marily, and the answer is easy--from
the pockets of the consumers of the
product of these breweries and dis
tilleries. And as the business is not
run for the health of those engaged,
but at a large profit, both by whole
saler and retailer, much larger sum
has been paid to the brewers and dis
tillers and their agents, the retailers,
than they have paid to the govern
ment and states.
If one is entitled to compensation
on the grounds Of the amount of
money contributed, it is the eonsum-
ers instead Of the brewers and dis
tillers. But leaving that part of the
question, my next thought 10, is the
product of the brewery or distillery
of any value as a means OF food, or
does it I'LL any place OF necessity

THE FREE PRESS AND WAR

Erom the time of the beginning of
the war between the Central Powers
and the Allies, the Milwaukee Free
Press has stood, like the Fatheriand
and ether papers, fer Germany. Those
papers were positive and firm in their
positions. The Fathenand has chang
ed it's name and the Free Press has
come out for loyalty When war was
declared between this country and
Germany it was necessary for the
Free Press ito choose between autoc-
raey and democracy, between stand
ing for nation that would invade
this country if it could and land that
stands for the good of humanity. Here
is what the Free Press says:
Loyalty admits of no reserva-
tions or conditions. 1t tolerates
no evasion and no compromise.
1t can and must demand just one
attitude: A single-minded and
single-heated allegiance to eoun-
try, flag and government.
But once congress has called the
nation to arms, once that nation
has seized the sword, then the de-
hate ends the differences is sub
merged, the very existence of past
opposition is ignored; the people
stand back of their government
with united front, with but one
spirit and purpose--the victorious
achievement of the governments
will.

What Becomes Of Breweries?

No doubt many often wonder what
becomes of the breweries after a
state goes dry. Rev. E. c. Henke has
brought to this Office an excellent ar
ticle from Golfers Weekly on the
subject Here it is:
inson, has been looking into the ques-
ton of what becomes Of booze fac
tories when the law gets on the job.
1t is his conclusion that prohibition
is by no means the certain forerun,
ner Of property depreciation and in
dustrial depression, and all the other
economic ills persistently charged to
it by it's enemies. And he draws his
conclusions from survey which has
just been completed by organized
temperance forces of conditions in a
number of dry communities formerly
the homes of some of the most extern
sive and successful brewery estab-
1ishments of the country.
Here is the good news:
The Lansing, Mich, brewery that
was is now used in the manufacture
of automobile parts.
Brewery plants in the West Virgin
Ia cities noted below have, since that
state went dry, been converted into
commercial establishments az fol
lows:
Fairmont, an ice-cream and milk
products plant; Benwood, chemical
and soap plant; Uneeda, a milk-prod-
ucts concern: Huntington, meat
packing establishment; Charleston, q
eold-storage plant; Bluefield, an ice
cream factory; Wheeling, a meat-pack-
ing plant.
Turning westward, the Rainier brew
cry of Portland, Ore, is now tan
merry employing 1900 men, where ID
formerly employed 156.
The Coors brewery of Denver, Cele.,
is now being used in the making of
matted milk.
The Salem, Ore, brewery 10 manu,
featuring loganberry juice.
The building once occupied by the
Portland Brewing company, Portland.
Ore, employing 100 men, is now a
furniture factory and employs 500
men.
The North Yakima, Wash, brewery
is now fruit by-produets company.
The Pacific Coast brewery, Portland,
Ore, is now shoe factory, and it en-
ploys $500 men, as against 125 when
it was used to manufacture beer.
"Hydes," once the finest saloon in
Seattle, Wash, has been remodelea
as tea room.
OF course this doesn't exhaust tbs
list. Down at Augusta, ga, the brew
cry has become the Augusta lee and
Beverage Company, while Mt Washing.
ton, Pa, the Star Brewery is the
Capital Paint, Oil, and varnisk soM-
pany. The prize of them all is the
Flint, Mich, brewery that was, fer
now it is a Methodist church.
Tt is true that Hetheaiss sRarsRSs
are not taxed, but at That 10 doesn't
exactly look as if community we're
always ruined by vetiHg itself dry.
