The Break in the Dam

May often be stopped with a few
sacksful of sand or earth. Likewise
a serious illness may often be avert
ed if we take it in time. 80 per cent.
of serious diseases arise from a
weakened condition of the constitu-
ton brought about by some form OIL
arrangement of the stomach, liver,
or bowels, and if this condition is
correctly looked after promptly, the
large number of people who die from
grave constitutional diseases would
be saved to life of usefulness and
industry. Your county now needs
you at your best, whether you are
on the farm, in the factory, or at
work in any other useful occupation
and no one can do their best work if
sick half of the time. Jays Peps0-
tone is a truly remarkable remedy
for ills of the stomach and liver. It's
mild action and prompt relief is evil
denced daily by thousands who take
it. Every user has become a booster
because you do not have to take it
often or for long periods of time. The
relief you get from the remedy is
permanent and lasting. 1t is guaran-
teed and sold for SOC and $1.00.

country although people are spend
ing more money than ever before
And the average man has more OF u
to spend. His earning power in many
cases has doubled.
All Of which augurs well for the
coming biggest anti-Hun dive Of
them all.
Folks no longer hesitate to buy
Liberty Bonds.
They know they are the safest in
vestment on earth. They know that
back of them stands all the wealth OF
this country. They know that such
investments will not adversely affect
financial conditions. They know that
every dollar so invested not only will
stimulate industrial activity but will
insure the continuance of American
Independence and speed the day of
world freedom.
Americans are no longer appre-
hensive of the Liberty Bond.
They are for it, strongly.
SO much so that they're already
saving up.

BUSINESS AND BONDS

Business is good, thank you.
Almost without exception this may
be said truthfully of any line. Today
it is no longer buyers market. just
the reverse. The buyer is taking
what he can get and is glad to get
it. 1t is a sellers market of the most
pronounced sort. And never has
there been a greater demand at bet
ter prices.
And this despite the fact that
nearly ten billions of dollars have
been invested in Liberty Bonds ana
four billions more taken from the
public purse by taxation within the
last fiscal year.
Never have conditions as a whole
been better, the country more pros
porous.
Pessimists a year ago predicted
the worst of dire results as a conse-
quence of the imperative tremendous
sale of Liberty Bonds.
