WHY WOMEN DREAD
OLD AGE

Don't worry about old age. Don't worry
about being in other peoples way when
you are getting on in years. Keep your
body in good condition and you can be as
hale and hearty in your old days as you
were when a kid, and every one will be
glad to see you.
The kidneys and bladder are the causes
of senile Affections. Keep them clean and
in proper working condition. Drive the
poisonous wastes from the system and
avoid uric acid accumulations. Take GOLD
MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules periodical
ly and you will find that the system will
always be in perfect working order. Your
spirits will be enlivened, your muscles
made strong and your face have once
more the look of youth and health.
New life, fresh strength and health will
come as you continue this treatment. When
your first vigor has been restored continue
for awhile taking a capsule or two each
day. They will keep you in condition and
prevent a return of your troubles.
There is only one guaranteed brand of
HARLEM Dill Capsules, GOLD MEDAL.

Imported Haarlem Oil Capsules. They are
the only reliable. For sale by all frst-class

BOYCOTT OF HUNS

PENRosE BRINGS UP QUESTION
OF TRADE DISCRIMINATION

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

WashingtOn.-Up to within short
time talk Of boycott against Ger
many after the war has been unOffi-
cial, in various newspapers and perl
odicals, and in desult0ry sort of way
where persons in small groups have
given vent to their decided views. But
recently the discussion has become of
more public nature and has been
limited at in congress. One of the
rather pointed references to the pos
Sible discrimination of a boycott was
4 question put by Senator PenrOse of
Pennsylvania to Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, the latter being chairman
If the foreign relations committee.
PenrOse asked Hitchcock If there was
my reason to believe that the United
States could not make tariff laws
after the war which would exclude
German products. While the answer
was not given definitely, yet the point
was not raised that such laws would
be incompatible with the Constitution.
1t was evident that the Pennsylvania
senator had in mind the possibility of
commercial discrimination against Ger
many when the war is over. The sub
ject under discussion was the third
of President Wilson's IA peace points,
which the Republicans have been
claiming would prevent the United
States FROM making it's own tariff laws
in the future, and Penrose was at
tempting to show that this third point
If incorporated in any peace treaty
would prevent trade determinations
against Germany. That this boycott
against that country is being freely dis
cussed shows what intense hatred has
been aroused in this country against
the Huns.

BREAD AND MILK.

Why not have the old-fash-
toned bowl of bGad and milk
for supper Sunday night? 1t
will help make your children's
eyes bright and their bodies
strong. 1t Will make the grown
ups forget the tired feelings.
Your grandmOthers served
bread and milk because they
liked it. Your mothers served it
because they thought 1t was
healthful. You should serve it
not only because it tastes good
and is wholesome but because
it is cheap. What could taste
better than a bowl of creamy
milk with Victory bread, corn
bread or bits of oatmeal muf-
fms? While milk is the most
perfect food, bread makes it
taste better than it does alone.
Just as milk helped make Amer
lea great by helping the men
and women to be strong and am
bilious before Americans knew
it's food value, SO will 1t make
future America greater now
that we know its value. Turn
again to the bowl of bread and
milk.

Politicians Of both parties were very
much in the air as to what would be
the effect of the presidents letter
asking the country to elect a Demo
cratic congress. Even the shrewdest
and most observing politicians were
unable to say whether the letter would
cause a landslide towards the Demo
Gratis or would prove a boomerang and
elect Republicans. OF course, as usual
In campaigns of this kind, party lead
ers and others claimed that the effect
would be helpful to them. The Dem
ocrats asserted that an appeal of this
kind could not but win independent
and wavering votes, because the cOun-
try is naturally inclined to support
the president While Republicans
claimed that the letter would prove
to be a boomerang and react against
the Democratic party, at the same
time they were very angry, and Sc
verely criticized the president for TAX
ing such an unusual course. Alto
gether the situation was somewhat

knowing the political game from be-
ginning to end.

mans win find out something about
their standing with the rest of the
world and will possibly learn some
thing about how their barbarity has
resulted in making them the most de-
tested of all nations. 1t has already
developed that our people. judging
from what representative men have
said, DO not favor having Germany
made a part of the much-talked-of
league of nations. The general impress
sion seems to be that Germany will
not keep any covenants she may make.
and consequently 1t is of no use to
include her as one of the nations in
the league. There is also desire,
which receives comment of favorable
nature, that the present allied nations
hold Germany in allegiance until such
time as her people recognize that she
will never again be allowed to play
the part of mad dog In a world which
prefers peace conditions.

Since the Influenza epidemic closed
the galleries of the senate that body
of legislators has relaxed to Il consid-
cradle extent. When the galleries
were occupied there was an extremely
solemn dignity about the senate pro-

press gallery the senate seems more
human. On the other hand, the house
