Red Blood
and Courage!
(By DIR. W. c. LUCAs)

What drives the men right up to the
trenches i'm this war IS courage, and
it's red blood that puts the heart i'm
the men. Did anyone ever see
puny thin -blooded man ever rush
into the fight with any chance Of
winning out? With rich, pure blood
you can face any hardship. reach any
goal. But you are handicapped in
the race of life without It. Every tis-
sue, bone, muscle, should take from
the blood certain materials and re-
turn to it certain others. This proc
ess insures perfect health. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, per-
haps the face breaks out in pimples,
or boils appear on the neck, and we
feel languid, tired, our vitality is at
a low ebb and we easily catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative eX-
tract and blood purifier taken from
Natures forests Such n one is made
up of Golden Seal. Blood and Stone
root, oregon Grape and Queens root
extracted with glycerlne and made
into sugar-coated tablets or liquid,
and this has been sold by druggists
for the past fifty years as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's al
ways efficacious in the spring when
the blood is run down and you need n
wholesome tonic. Try this old-fash-
ioned but reliable remedy, without al
cohol!
If you are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain In the back toes or muscles Of
the body, this is due to uric acid
stored I'm the system. The liver and
Kidneys do not act properly For such
person, advise taking Anuric (dou-
BILE strength) three times daily for n
week or two. This Anuric throws out
the uric acid which accumulates, and
II taken occasionally will prevent or
cure rheumatism and gout. There is
no difficulty in obtaining Anuric at
any drug store

WE ARE NOT ALONE.

Those mistaken patriots who would
have us settle ouc Immediate Bricy-
1nces with Germany Without any re-
gard to the other forces now arraycl
against the Teutouic combination are
overlooking several essential points
We are not going to war because OF
any specific act that German agents
have committed. These have been
the incentive, II is true, but tho
grievance is cumulative and 1t cannot
be said that any one grievance is the
direct cause Of war, Lut simply
straw that broke the back OF our won
derful patience. Instead We are
going to war for principle, and no set
lement We could poss bly, make with
Germany on our sole initiative could
settle the argument. our fortunes aro
tied up with the fortunes of the other
democracios Of the world. We must
ii"in with them for disarmament ANA
for the elimination of war.
Suppose we should go ahead in
warning on Germany on Our own sole
account and suppose the Crcmy sued
for peace and aoccdcd to oar terms
.A.r cessation of hosulIuc5 In view
* the attitude which the German
government has shown toward rs pact
treaties, agreements and promises,
what confidence could we put i'm any
new offers 1t might make, and what
assurance could We have that any
treaty which might hc signed would
not be just as ruthlessly broken
whenever German interest demanded
anc Gern,;n power was able 10 en-
force? History shows us that fear
only is effective to rcstr1in q power
that relies ON its might as the only
criterion of right. Germany might
make peace with us in order to better
contend against its other enemies and.
when that contest is over, rcpudiate
the entire agreement and begin to
make war on us alone. What a great
disadvantogc would we labor under in
such a contingency We must fight
side 10y side with the other enemies Of
Germany share i'm their victories and
defeats, and secure their help and col
fusion in enforcing such terms Of
peace as wight bc decided upon.
Then, IL Germany is beaten, we would
be secure from fear Of German
treachery and defended against bad
faith. Tho German menace to hu
manty is SO great that We need CO.

naclc last night when he appeared
fer his first sermon following an ox-
oeedingly strenuous Sunlay's cam
Iai"n and because of the wearipes;
that followed thu strain the cVange list
brought his sermon to quicker close
than has been his rule.
Great banks of black clouds that
overcast the skies earlier in the even
ing and the usual weariness that fol-
lows busy Monday were without doubt
responsible for the small attendance
at one of the liveliost meeting thus
far. There was n fair represo sontation
of Tulsa clubs present, some arriving
late, but not as many as had been
anticipated and before Doctor Nc
Connell began his lecture a large sec
ton of seats that had been reserved
were thrown open and quickly filled
by those who had secured seats on
the sides.

CONGRESS CONVENEs DEC g
New Session Expected to Rival
Last in Important Action.
Washington Dispatch, Nov. 25.

Washington Dispatch, Nov. 25.
Members of Congress are beginning
to return to Washington for the open
ing of the second session Of the war
December 5. Most of them expect
the new session to rival the last in
important action and few think it will
end before the general congressional
campaigns next fall.
Appropriations for the war promise
to require much time and there lis
much new as well as unfinished war
legislation to be dealt with. Presi-
dent Wilson's opening message soon
after Congress reconvenes will deter
mine, in great measure the program
of new legislation. Many domestic
matters, including prohibition and
woman suffrage, are promised atten-
ton.
Future relations between this ma
ton and Germany's allies may be de-
termined early in the session. Many
members of Congress expect the Pres
ident's opening address to deal with
the question of whether war shall be
declared against Austria, Turkey and
Bulgaria. Sentiment in favor Of such
action is general among members now
here.
