Hits Mt Traitors
Charles Edward Russell last night
Said:
There can be no peace at all untn
the German principle of autocracy
shall have been overthrown by the
principle of democracy. Those who
are preaching peace are traitors. The
President should treat LaFollette as
Lincoln treated Vallandlngham. when
he cast him into Confederate terri
tory"
This destruction of the peace ru-
mors that are agitating Washington
from the lips of Mr.. Russell was the
heart of a remarkable address, one
that swept a cheering throng of five
thousand men and women upon their
feet at to-night's session of the war
convention of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
DR.. Russelfs speech, centering upon
the present conditions of Russia, was
followed by an equally frank exposi-
ton of Russia's needs by Baron Balxb-
metieff, the Russian ambassador.

A New Treatment Given without the
Consent or Knowledge of the
DrIuIxer


Cleveland, Ohio. - A woman who
let's a man drink is foolish, says Drug
gist Brown, for no man who drinks
even a little bit is safe. A woman
can break the drink habit in a few
weeks for half what a man spends on
nHuor in the same time, and the
drinker need never know she did it.
For the sake and safety of both stop
the drink habit in it's beginning. Let
the first Whit of liquor on his breath
be your danger signal, but even if
he is rum-soaked through and
through do not despair; he can be
saved and 1t is yQHr duty to save
him. Druggist Brown knows the
awful curse of strong drink beeause
he himself has been q victim. A low
ing sister rescued him from the brink
of a drunkard's grave and kept her
secret ten years, then she told him
how she did it. She saved him from
the demon drink, rescued him from
his own depraved self by means of a
secret remedy, the formula of an old
German chemist. To save other fami-
lies from the curse of drink and to
help other victims out of the murk
and mire he now makes the formula
public. Any druggist can. help you
IL you long, to save a loved one. Just
ask your druggist for prepared tes-
cum powders and drop a powder twice
a day in tea, coffee milk or any other
drink. Liquor soon ceases to taste the
same, the craving for it vanishes and,
10, one more drunkard is saved with
