These are twin evils. Persons suffer

with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison.
Nation, ILL.,, writes that when she first
moved to Mattoon she was great suf-

Food distressed her and there was a
feeling like a heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did NOT
rest well at night, and felt worn out q
good part of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain Tablets corrected this
trouble so that she has since felt like a

TEST IF ALASKA GOAL COKE ID
 BE MAOE

Far famed Alaska coal will un- derGo the severest commercial tests in Tacoma within a few days, says the Tacoma News. A shipment of coks from the Alaska coal has been ret eived and will be tried out in the Puget Sound Iron & Steel works nlant as to it's practicability for foundry uses.
 The coke is from coal shipped from the Chickaloon district in the Matanuska fields on the government ra- road in Alaska to the Wilkeson Coal X Coke company for coking in the company's big ovens at Wilke- soE. This is said to be the first attempt to coke the coal on a scale sufficient to test its value for this purpose. The coking has been done by Supt. Joseph Lee of the Wilkeson Coal & Coke company, and those who have seen the coke and who can pass as judges, say it is very gco' grade of coke and they are ex- pecting satisfactory results from the tests which are soon to be made iE Tacoma.
 The Alaska coal fields were ex- amined by the United States gov ernment in 1913. The first steam- ing tests were made on the battle shi2 Maryland and the coal proved to De 9S per cent as efficient as the Pocohontas coal of West Vir- ginia. d

SEVERE ATTACKS
 MADE ON KAISER

I.ondon,-Some of the pamphlets which were secretly circulated in Berlin during the recent strike consisted of savage attacks on the German emperor, fact which was adm ted and deprecated recently by the German press. One of these pamphlets, smuggled out of Ger many, reached the Liverpool Daily Post, which in part is as follows:
 When will peace come? It will come when Germany is ready for it, and the time is approaching.
 'It will come when Germany has learned the elsson of the war; when 1t has found. as every other na- tion has had to learn, that the voice of Europe cannot be denied with impugnity.

"War-W.hat For?"

"The hour of peace will strike when Germans no longer heed the makers of war; when they despise and hiss the apostles of militarism and jrngoism. Peace will come when the Germans say to their en- peror: You, whom We have fol- loa ed and obeyed; you, for whom we have sacrificed ourselves and our dear ones; you, who have not spared our ideals and beliefs and tra- diticns, we have sacrificed all to you and what have We in return? No thiAg but hunger and cold and nak- edness disease and death, ruin and destitution.'
 All over the world we are de- sD!sed and hated. On our forehead rests the curse of Cain. Men shun us n the streets and our language is forbidden. We have you, Elm peror William, we have you to thank for the achievements of a century Of nat'onal effort that have been lost"
