It's Ours.

Government is peculiar thing.
That being conceded, it is only step more to
say that government pre-supposes peculiar men
with peculiar minds.
We've got 'em. Every variety of mentality is
in the government We've got 'em bad and we've
got 'em good. That's democracy, perhaps.
Every mass mood is a state OF mind Riding a
bucking broncho is gentle indoor sport COM
pared with the White House task of trying to find
the easiest, steadcst readiest way understand
and guide the mood The child mentality
persists in the individual to amazing age, and
when the of the people get to thinking along
line of least resistance that child mentality
almost dominates if it doesn't dominate absolutely.
You it in Congress. day after day.
Critics OF the government apt to say that
the President goes ahead his own line of
thought, which most distinctly is not childish,
without "conSulting"-thats a good old word!-
other people Maybe he does Maybe he doesn't.
That's his business.
There occurs this speculative thought
The government of the United States has
thought things to the limit OF its specialized
capacity for thought, and then this government OF
has fguratively shut its eyes
AND GONE AHEAD!

And tells him he can go to hell
Where only wicked spirits dwell!

NORFOLK RESIDENT
TELLS HIS STORY
WANTS ALL HIS FRIENDS TO KNOW
BE IS WELL AND HAPPY AGAIN.
HOW HE FINALLY FOUND THE

ployee of the Southern Sanitary Com

and who resides at 1925 Dunges
Street Norfolk, IL known to host
OF people In his community as man
with high sense of moral obliga-
ton and 1t is for this very reason ne
has consented to give to the world
the story of his suffering and final
relief from q complication OF consh :
tutional disorders. Here Is his signed
statement. It should be carefully
read by all who are sick and ailing and
are laboring under the delusion that
their case is beyond the power OF
medicinal science:
Few people know how I suffered
from stomach trouble and disordered
liver, with their many complications
| could hardly bear to eat even the
lightest food for fear OF the painful
consequences almost sure to follow.
Sleep was out of the question and my
nerves soon went bad. was con-
stantly bilious and distressed with
foul breath and bad taste In my
mouth. Constipation did not i'm
prove matters any and I began 70 run
down in health.
81 have taken many medicines
Yes, I've tried them all and none OF
them did anything like the good that
this new herb medicine, Dreco, did
for me.
81 cheerfully recommended Dreco
and want all my friends to know 1T
pulled me out of sickness and brought
me back to health again after every
thing else failed"
There are hundreds of men and
women right here in this section who
are daily suffering the same fortunes
as Mr.. Drew SO wildly describes.
The same medicine that did Mr..
Drew SO much good is now within
the reach of all sufferers here.
Dreco is dispensed by almost all
modern drug stores and pharmacy
shops and is particularly recon-
mended in Woodstock by Schmitt's
Drug Store. adv
