Constipation and Indigestion

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often trou-
bled with constipation. Mrs Robert
Allison, NATION, ILL.,, writes that when
she first moved to NATION she was a
great sufferer from indigestion and con-
stipation. Food distressed her and
there was feeling like heavy weight
oil essing on her stomach and chest.
She did not rest we'll at night, and felt
worn out a good part of the time. One
bottle of Chamberlain Tablets cor
rected this trouble so that she has since
felt like different person.

Some Good Advice

''Don't think too much of your own

who use Chamberlain's Tablets for
these ailments with the best results,
and will do we'll to follow their example.

The Compensation
Bill is Merely am
Equal Rights Bill

THE so-cal1ed Compensation Bill now before
the Wisconsin Legislature might be called by
any other name It doesn't grant compensa-
ton to anybody for anything It only grants the
right to sue That is right every other citizen
enjoys-to go into court and ask payment for
injury or damage sustained. It might better be
called an Equal Rights Bill.
It could be called a Legal Corrective Bill for it
only corrects the statutes which today discrini-
nate against liquor men, denying them the other
wise universal right of citizens to bring civil action
for damages or losses.
If you are run down by a street car or auto
mobile, compensation Or payment for your in
juries is not handed to you. You have to prove
your case in court. But the point is right here
you have the privilege and opportunity of doing
So The legal avenue is opened to you. You are
allowed to sue for damages.
And that is all the so-called Cor1pen-
sation bill provides. 1T does not grant
Compensation to bretOers or anybody
else in case of Prohibition. 1T pro-
Uides no payment and carries no ap-
preparation. 1T only opens the legal
uUay SO that the corporation
effected can 60 into the Circuit Court
and ask for a hearing Of his claim
for damages Then he must prooe
his case before jury Just the same
as any other petitioner.
And you sit on the jury. You grant him
measure of Compensation or you do not, according
to the evidence.
Is there anything unreasonable or unfair in
that?

that the forty-six German ships in

In regard to the second question

detail that American exports to Ger.

ger than German exports to America
says: after the war America ~

America were to refuse to us ~ "a 4
large loan to help us over our difff(-
ties. We would then have to make our
stocks last much longer, although
eventually able to return to sound
basis"
After calling attention to the huge
increase in Americas financial
strength, DR.. Beukenberg says in an
swer to the third question:
Germany cannot become wholly
independents In the case OF cotton,
for instance, under the most favora-
BILE circumstances, it would take dec
adese to meet our needs, from our
colonies in Asia Minor. To a certain
extent we can be sparing with cotton
and use all our available substitutes,
but large part of German imports
are raw materials which are exported
as manufactured goods. Thus in
creases in the difficulties of importing
would hit us badly. This, however,
applies equally to the United States.
Americans do not grow cotton for
nothing and they will welcome their
old customer back again. After all,
the submarine war spells victory, and
if we are to dictate peace adequate
guarantees may be negotiated. Now
that America is an open enemy, we
no longer have our hands tied and
there is no longer the fear that we
might have to make an undignifed
peace through exhaustion. The slo-
gan now is victory orr death with

consequences; third, is it possible to

Councillor DIR. Beukenberg of Dort-

the negative. Beukenberg says: "Our
early reluctance to use of our subma-

we, were on friendly terms, and, above
all. enjoyed important commercial re-

DRAWSBILLFORFIVE
/. BILLIONS IN BONDS
Measure Providing for Large
Loan to Allies Will Be Intro
duced in House Thursday.
CONSIDER NEW TAXES

Washington, April "a decision to
introduce the $5,OO0,0OO,0OO bond issue
measure on Thursday in the house
was reached today by Secretary Nc
Adoo and Representative Rainey Of
Illinois, ranking democratic member
OF the ways and means committee.
The measure will carry $1,000
100000 issue for loan to the allies
and a $2OO0,000,000 issue for conduct
ing the war for this country. The ST.
0O0,00O,00O issue is expected to meet
approximately one-half Of this coun-
try's war expenses up to June so. 1918.
Consideration OF plans for raising ad.
ditional funds by taxation for con-
ducting the war for this country will
come later. The most essential thing
to be accomplished now, it is agreed,
is to prepare the allies loan in order
that they may obtain much needed
food and munitions.
Every effort to rush the bond meas
ure through the, house will be con-
sidered by the ways and means COM
mittee Wednesday.
The question OF the tenure of bonds
has not been definitely decided. Some
members of the committee prefer
fifty-year bonds, hat think 1t would be
best to pay them off at different times.
The question Of raising money by
taxation still is being considered from
many angles and no concrete plan
has been worked OUT, 1t is generally
agreed that excess profits, incomes
and certain Injuries will be heavily
taxed. What will be>done about in
creasing the inheritance tax, however,
still is, probIelnatical. Opposition to
increasing it because OF interference
with, state inheritance tax. laws has
appeared. but. it is not believed it
will prove strong enough to prevent
