weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He

WORKING MEN URGED
TO INVEST IN BONDS
STRONG APPEAL TO THE SALA-
RIED MADE BY SECRETARY WILL
S0N-SAYS THE WORKERS HAVE
MORE AT STAKE.

WAoI1INGjON, II. u, OcJ. 10
A strong appeal to the working men
of this country to participate in the
second Liberty Loan to the fullest ex-
tent was made here today by VIM B.
Wilson, secretary of labor. Secretary
Wilson points out that "the workers
have more at stake in this great con-
fiict than any others, because it is
only in a democracy that the common
people can come into their own"
Secretary Wilson's statement is as
follows;
The great European war in which
we are now involved came to the peo-
PIE of the Western Hemisphere as
terrible shock, and to no portion of
the people did it come as a greaier
shock than to the wage-earners of
taeUnited States. The believed in and
wanted international peace, but they
wanted it on basis of international
ustcie which would insure the right
OF our people govern themselves. When
the Imperial German government
undertook to destroy the lives of our
people and impose rule of conduct
upon Us without our consent in places
under the jurisdiction of the United
States government, there was no
course left but to resist.
The workers have more at stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in democracy that
the common people can come into
their own. The great privilege is not
given to all of us serve our country
on the battlefield or in the trnches,
but there are other ways in which
we can serve and assiste those who
are privileged to carry our flag on the
batllef1elds of Europe. The impulse
of sacrifice for the common good IS
ending the youth of our country into
the trenches in defense of liberty,
humanity and democracy. To those
Vt us who must of necessity remain
at home to till the soil, harvest the
crops, man the factories, mines ana
mills, the way is open for additional
service, We, too, make sacrifices
The men who go forth in the field must
be equipped and sustained. Funds
must be forthcoming to furnish the
food, the firearms and other supplies
for the fighting forces of the nation
Finances for that purpose must be
secured Immediately from the sale Of
bonds. The workers can help by
contributing their mite.
I am reminded of the fable of a
great drought when the crops We're
wasting for the want of water, and
one little raindrop said to another in
the clouds, 81 would like to go down
to the relief of the farmer and his
perishing crops, but l am so little it
would be useless" And another little
raindrop replied, "It would be useless
for you to go down alone, but let US
all go down and our combined effort
will bring the needed relief" The
advice was accepted and beautiful
shower poured down on the land and
the crops were saved for the harvest
And so it is with the workers. The
funds each has available is but d
drop, but all of the drops together
can make a shower of funds that will
furnish the NEEDED supplies, bring joy
to the hearts of the boys at the front

COPPER
 SETS A BIG RECORD

Boston, March 3-From all it's mines the Kennecott Copper Corpor- ation turned cut 11,S7S,O00 pounds o' copper in January which was slight increase over the previous month. Both the Alaskan mines and the Braden contributed to the gain, although the major part or the increase was from the former.
 Now that the Kennecott owns all but a very few shares of the Bra den company, the latter to all in tents and purposes is an integral parf of the Kennecott and places this company in fifth position among the big producers, being ex- ceeded by the Anaconda, the Phelps Dodge, the Utah Copper and the Inspiration. Kennecott's normal output from the Bonanza and Beaton mines in Alaska at the present time may be regarded as about 100000 pounds monthly although for six consecu- tive months last year this output exceeded 1O,OOO,OOO pounds. Of this total the Beatson properties fun- ish aobut 100000 pounds, but by the middle of this year, with the completion of the expansion plans, # should be contributing at least 5000, ,O0Q pounds a month.

MIR. FoRD's PATRIOTISM AGAIN

Ii Henry Ford had planned to hold up to ridicule and shame those munitions makers who offered to give government order precedence Cfor profit) he could not have done it more effectually than by his of Ger of his own plant without pro rL. Recently the News compared the patriotism displayed, 10 the dis favor of the munitions men, who have led the abuse of MT. Ford's pacifist activities. In reply & friend hands in a clipping from the wash ington Post:
 whose fault is it that the Un- tied States has no real army? Wbose fault is it that congress- ln the hour of national need cannot increase the strength of the navy, 10 matter how much money is apPro- nria.ed or expended? The blame must be fixed squarely upon the pacificsts, who for many years nave been advocating unpreQaredness. Il must be fixed upon those who h. sisted that there was no need TOT spending money on the army and na- " since no foreign nation would eyer attack this country" Accompany ing the clipping is the comment: The turning oyer of great plants to the government is commenda0le' but without trained defenders this next to useless"
 Clipping and comment overlook some points. Much of the, objection to naval expansion has been en- gendered by the wide spread ana well founded feeling that the gov ernment was always mulcted out o1 enormous sums when undertaking construction programs. The obJec- ton was not so much to prepared ness as to the profits involved. The same thing has been encountered in the buying of army equipment though perhaps to g less extent.
 Che of the first elements of pa triotism is the willingness to make sacrifices. MT. Ford's willingness to sacrifice profits has not yet been matched by his critics.
 # the pacifists are to blame for the small army, why has it not been possible to recruit the army 10 tull strength authorized in recent years? Partly because such q large propor- tion of the applicants for enlist ment failed to pass the physical eN- animation. Who is responsible for that condition? To a large eN- tent large manufacturers who are the leading props of our industrial system. To large extent MT. Ford has gone counter to their ideas Of things. An employer can show no higher patriotism than to try to de- YeloD a higher type of citizen among his employees. MT. Ford is one CG the countrY's real patriots on taat basis.

Nervous Women, Too, Respond To
Tonic Action of Cadomene.
Tells How To Do It.

"Ginger" has become synonym for
q warm, fervent, energetic, enthusias-
tic, cheerful frame of mind. When
one is in such spirit, obstacles have no
'terrors, and success, with fame and
fortune, presents opportunities which
the gloomy, despondent, unhappy
man fails to see or grasp.
To have "lots of ginger" your sys-
TEN must supply your nerves with all
the elements of nutrition to make
them strong and vital, so that the
mind or spirit also can be sustained
by nervous force.
No one can be happy with toothache,
yet a toothache is tust q suffering nerve.
Doesn't that prove that the nerves control
the pleasures and happiness of your exist
ence7 Starved nerves result In many Ill
nesses, much gloom and little pleasure for
the possessor.
When there are starved nerves, there is
no ginger" no pep" no fire, no warmth,
no vitality or magnetism. IL you lack in
ginger" IL you lack in "pep," there's a
reason, and the reason Is your nerves are
being deprived of nutritive elements. What
will correct this deplorable condition, you
ask1s
Cadomene Tablets is the answer, because
they are designed for that particular pur-
pose-a powerful yitalizing tonic Of purest
kind known to medical experts-containing
