SKIN DISEASES
MEAN BAD BLOOD
Here is a typical case told of
by Will Young, who resides at
145 Fourth St, West Helena,
Ark, who writes:

MY mother had a breaking out
all over her body, starting around
her ankles. She was treated by
twelve doctors, and more than a
thousand dollars was spent in an
effort to find a cure. She was ,
given many kinds of local reme- j
dies, none of which did her any
good. Finally. realizing that the
disease was in the blood, she be-
gan taking 5. S. 5. and after TAX
sores have disappeared, and she
is well on the way to a complete
recovery"
There is no disease having its
origin in a disordered or impure
condition of the blood that will
not be helped by the wonderful
powers of S. S. S. There is no
medicine on the market that
has so successfully stood the
test of time and accomplished
results so consistently S. S. s.

more than fifty years it is sold

in the United States, and every
druggist is acquainted with its
merits and will tell you that it
is one of the most reliable
medicines that he sells. You
cannot hope to have perfect
health, to be robust and strong,

Been in Demand and Plans Of
Organization Considered Most
Practical in This Nation
at Washincton.

Madison, Wis-The Wisconsin State
Council of Defense is being held up
as a model in many states in the
union, both for its method of organiza-
ton and its plans for the future. The
Wisconsin Council was the first state
organization under legislative act,
although several volunteer bodies with
the same purpose-to aid the state
and nation during the war-had been
In existence earlier.
Massachusetts was the first state to
start this work, and as early as Feb
ruary it's organization, which has re-
ceived favorable comment in eastern
magazines, was making investigations.
1t remained for Wisconsin, however, to
put into the fields a state council au-
thorized by law, and with its organi-
zation reaching down through the
seventy-one counties TO the people.
Now, after the Wisconsin council
has been in existence but few
months, the law which created IL is
being copied The National Council,
with headquarters in Washington, has
studied its work, and has passed along
to other states the benefit of its expe-
rience.
The county organization in this
state is recognized as practical, and
other states are reorsanizingl along
these lines.
One of the first things accomplished
in Wisconsin was to increase the
acreage of crops for the season of 1917
Now, with that crop ready for the
harvest, the problem of marketing is TO
be taken up. Meanwhile the expert
ence of 1917 will be used to advantage
in the spring of 1918. The council
will know the agricultural POSSIBLE
ties Of the state through its investiga.
tions.
IL all OF its work the state council
is aided by the members Of county
councils, to whom most of the credit
for results belongs.

WHO CAUSED The WAR

Occasionally is heard the statement
that the present war was brought
about by the wealthy men Of this
country in order that they might pro-
fit. It is not a new statement. In
1861, there were men who claimed
that the Civil war was caused by
norther men who wanted 70 get rid of
the cheap slave labor of the south.
In 1888, Mckinley was accused of bring
ing . bout the Spanish war in order
TO turn Cuba over TO American corpo-
rations. Last year, when our troops
were sent to Mexico 70 punish bandits
for killing American people in New
Mexico some papers haIped that the
troops were being sent to protect cor
poration property. Yet, after those
conflicts were over, the cause of our
country was so plain that no man
would have the temerity TO repeat
such absurd claims
| Nor was this war brought about in
any such manner. Il was not the
American millionaire who sent the
German armies across Belgium, de-
vastating an innocent and helpless
nation. 1t was none of our rich who
sent the torpedo into the Lucitania
and murdered hundred of our men,
women and children. 1t surely was
not the corporations of this country
which caused the blowing up of Amer
lean factories, bridges, and Touring
mills at least two years before our
country considered going into the war.
1t is not one of our rich men who sent
note froI- the German government
to Mexico and Japan, weeks before
this country entered the war, asking
those countries to make war on this
country, and promising California and
Oregon to Japan and Texas and New
| Mexico, 10 Mexico as a reward for
taking up arms against US. 1t is not
an American capitalist who promised
oar president that the ruthless sub
marine war would be stopped, after
I OAAA piON~ob AEOA t44N StAhtAS VI W.T.
Sussex, and then, when better prepar-
ations had been made violated that
agreement, and commenced again the
sinking of American ships and Amer
can citizens. The American rich man.
with all his faults, can not be accused
of those atrocities which were incident
TO the beginning of the war. Neither
was it American money which flooded
This country with foreign spies, some
of whom were caught and imprisoned
long before the war was declared.
The 'rich men" who caused this
war we're the German war-lords, rich
in moneys wrung from the honest Ger
man people, and rspacious for war
glory and conquest and they started
it by violating every right and princi-
pie for which the people of this cuun-
try had been Fighting and working
ever since our country was establish
ed They were the rich mem who
started things, and as long as they
are warning upon the peace of the
whole world, just so long will the war
continue. -Merlin Hull, Secretary Of
State, in his Jackson County Journal

What is the amount of the head tax
imposed on foreign immigrants arriv-
ing in this country? Is il done as
means of revenue?
The first tax. imposed in 1882, was
30 cents head In 1894 this tax
was increased to 81 a head, in 1909
to 81 a head and in 1907 to 81
head. The tax is not paid by immi-
grants. but by the steamship compa-
MES that bring them. 1t is not i'm
posed as a means Of general revenue.
but primarily TO make the immigration
bureau self supporting aud. incidental
~, to restrict pauper immigration. The
imposition Of tax was attacked as
unconstitutional, but the supreme
court Of the United States sustained
the constitutionality of the law. The
commissioner general of immigration
says in his report: There can be
no question that the intent of con-
gress, not only originally, but upon ev-
cry occasion. when the matter has been
before it for consideration in connec-
ton with the increase of the amount
of the head tax from time to time, was
not to raise revenue for the general
purposes of the government, but to
constitute fund from which the ex-
pense Of satisfactorily regulating and
controlling our immigration problem
might be paid, the purpose Of the sew
eral increases in the amount being TO
afford a larger fund for the mainte-
nance of the service. Since the law
providing for the collection Of a head
tax has been IN force up TO the end of
this fiscal yes. G9l6l there has been
collected over 100000 In excess OF
