MS reason no longer eXlSlS liz w SOD-
Kenyon Law, together with the Reed
Amendment Generally known as the
"Bone-Dry" Law, forbid any railroad or
express company to transport liquor INTO
States whose laws prohibit it, and make Ha
crime for anyone TO bring liquor into any
Prohibition State
If State wants to be "Bone Dry" it can
become so by adopting State Prohibition,
with the assurance that the Federal Gov
ernment will see to it that no liquor
is shipped in.
The amended Webb-Kenyon Law was
passed in recognition of the right of each
State to adopt it's own policy on liquor
legislation free from outside interference.
For the same reason those States which do
not want Prohibition must have the same
rieht of protection for their policy FREE
FROM INTERFERENCE.
Coercion by constitutional amendment of
States opposed to Prohibition would be
most unfair.
Remember, that once adopted and made
part of the Constitution of the United
States, National Prohibition would be
VIRTUALLY IRREVOCABLE. How
ever short it might fall of the results ex-
pected of it--whatever other evils might
arise because of it-however great it's fail
ure might be in National way, even as
it has been in the State experiments

QUICK RELIEF FROM
WYNN CON CONSTITUTION SI
Get Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets. the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomel's old-time en-
envy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth-
ing vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a dark brown mouth
now and then-a bad breath-a dull,
tired feeling-sick headache torpid
liver and are constipated, you'll find
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them.

DRAFTED SQUAWKERS

Col. Joseph c. Bunner, President OF
the Toledo (Ohio) Stock Exchange, a
member of William McKinley's staff
when Mckinley was governor of Ohio
made speech in New York the other
day.
The Colonel Just hates" slackers,
but he entertains an even greater
aversion for men who, when drafted,
try, as he expresses it, to "squawk
out" In the opinion of the Colonel
they are more despicable than slack
ers.
Col Bunner has new word for men
who have been drafted and try to
"squawk out" This word he says,
very fifty describes them. but he ad-
mits it isn't an elegant word. He
points, however, to the fact that it
can be found in the Standard DictiOn-
ary, where it is referred to as being
little in use.
The word is "puke." According to
the dictionary, it is both noun and
a verb. AS a noun it means con-
temptible fellow" The Colonel in
corporated it in doggerel verse he re-
cited amid much applause from pat
riotic citizens. The lines follow:
This the tale of the mob | saw,
Trying to beat the Conscription law,
Pukes in front of you; pukes behind,
Pukes of every conceivable kind,
Massed on the steps of the City Hall,
Pukes that were short, pukes that were
tall,
Pukes that were fat, pukes that were
thin.
Prominent nose and receding chin
Socialist, Anarchist, Stacker and sneak
Faces impertinent, brazen and weak,
Pukes of all stations, poor ones and
rich,
Pukes that were dirty and pukes with
the itch,
Eager to marry and hide behind,
Any old skirt and of any old kind,
Crowding and pushing till ready to
drop,
Not an Irshman present, excepting
the cop.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1917-19??, 1917-09-06

has bill pending in congress to con-
vert in into a brigade post, and the
chances seem favorable for the pas
sage of the bill. 1t is this place which
relates more intimately to the story of
historic gristmill mill that not only
turned out grist for Confederate and
Federal soldiers in wartimes, but also
supplied much of the wants in this
line for the volunteers of the Span
ish-American war who were modified
at Chicamauga park preparatory to
their embarkation to the Philippines
and Cuban shores.
The old mill not only served the SOL
diers of two wars, but it had for years
preceding the Civil war furnished
grist for the families of the pioneers
of it's community, a service it still
performs with exact punctuality even
to this day.
While the war game has its dan
gers and its hardShlpS, 1t also mas ltS
pleasures and its humors. 1t is good
entertainment to listen to a couple of
old soldiers who have the eye to the
ridiculous side of things relate expe-
riences. Many good stories have
never found their way into print. Dur
ing the fighting around Chattanooga
private soldiers of both armies kept
their eyes skinned for trouble. The
rattle of a bush has been known to
strike panic to a fellow who may
have been prowling around on the
hunt for something to eat. Soldiers
have been frightened half to death by
men of their own uniform. This panic,
however, vanishes on the firing line.
Men in battle have but little regard
for the element of danger. They will
charge the mouths of cannon when in
battle and run from sheep, If they
don't know what it is, when out for
aging.-Chattano News.
