US. These germs are everywhere in
the air we breathe. The odds are i'll
favor of the germs, if the liver is
inactive and the blood impure.
What is needed most is an increase
in the germ-hghting strength. To do
this successfully you need to put
on healthy flesh, rouse the liver to
vigorous action, so it will throw off
these germs, and purify the blood SO
that there will be no weak spot
or soil for germ-growth.
We claim for DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery that it does all
this in a way peculiar to itself.
1t cures troubles caused by torpid
liver or impure blood.

will of the conquerors. Then your
intellectual and political leaders, the
true leaders who are not the lackeys
of the emperor will have no right
and no opportunity to interpose a
word concerning the future order of
the world and of Germany. But if
you cooperate, and that with all
your might, to carry out this pur-
pose, the honor of the German peo-
pie which is today scorned as merely
an insensate tool in the hands of
murderers, will be restored; and
more than that you will have voice
in the establishment of the new or
der of the World and Germany. And
take my word for it we shall have
peace, and we can have it on such
terms that the German people will
be happier in the future than they
ever were before the war. But
leave us in the lurch, and we must
recognize with sullen rage and scorn
that we are the fellow countrymen
of hopelessly deluded slaves, upon
whom will rest the blame for their
own ruin and for the humiliation of
Germany.

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER
Coal Shortage Does Not Affect this
State-Many Tourists Coming
West-Must Comply With
Food Laws

The action OF the Government IN
closing industries in the east for a
period of five days, in order to conserve
the coal supply, has brought quite
forcibly to the attention OF the people
OF this state that they are living in a
section OF the country which is I'M
usually blessed. Washington State, it
is admitted, is in better shape in the
matter of fuel than most any other
state in the Union. Further. while
the East is suffering from severe storms
and cold weather the people out here
are enjoying mild open winter.
There has been no severe weather,
but on the contrary the days have
been so delightful that hundreds OF
people have been preparing their
gardens for early seeds. On the west
side OF the mountains, people are plant
ing early potatoes and it is quite we'll
known that hundreds OF persons who
planted their garden peas last October
now report that the vines are shooting
out OF the ground, with practically no
danger of their being nipped by the
frost. Only an unusually cold spell OF
weather could damage them. Soldier
boys in the East are being sent roses
and berries picked in Washington
gardens in January. just to remind
them OF home" Washington may
not have some things that other states
possess but she certainly has lot Of
things that other states do not possess.
AS the famous author Woods Hutchin
son once said: Washington is the
charmed land of the North American
continent"

EMPEROR WICKEDLY
DECEIVED YOU

DECEIVED YOU
Comrades in war, you have taken
an oath of allegiance to your flag.
But the emperor, too, took an oath
at the beginning of his reign, an
oath of allegiance to the German
constitution. The confederation
which forms the German empire was
established according to this consti-
tuition, ''To protect the united prov
inces and the legal rights thereof,
and to promote the welfare of the
German people" To guard it is the
foremost, indeed the only duty
of the German emperor. If this
purpose cannot be accomplished with
out war, then the emperor may de-
clare war, but not until then. But
the emperor wickedly, wantonly, by
deceiving the German people, by
disappearing facts and by forg-
ing official documents, by breaking
sacred treaties which he as the de-
fender of justice should have OBJ
served, has overthrown Belgium, de-
clared war on Russia, France and
Serbia, and has thereby violated the
laws of justice and the constitution;
has hurled the German empire down
to ruin and has wrecked the welfare
of the German people. The oath
which You have taken means alleg-
lance merely to an emperor who is
the protector of the German people,
the guardian of their constitution,
the true preserver of their welfare;
it does not mean allegiance to bur-
glars, murderers, rascally drummers
for greedy cannon makers. But you
took no oath against the German
people whom it was this emperor's
duty to protect; whom you must
now protect without him and against
him, a miserable wretch who betrays
his country in the hour of greatest
danger, who either from stupidity or
from cowardice works against the
good of his people.
KNIFE AT GULLET OF
SCOUNDRELS WHO RULE
Let every man who loves the Ger
man people and the German father
land come overi The pass word
which is to be given at the French
posts is;
REPUBLIC
He will meet not only French and
English and Americans, but also
German patriots, whose concern it is
that our fatherland, the fatherland
so shamefully and treacherously sold
by it's rulers by divine right, should
not be annihilated; and he will be
welcomed with honor by the French
if he gives this password, and will
be well treated.
Comrades in war, the knife is at
the gullet of the scoundrels who rule
you and they would rather starve
and bleed the German people to
death to the last man than make
peace, or even make known the OBJ
ject of their war. For they know
very we'll that the hour of reckon
ing has struck for them when they
can no longer suppress the truth be-
meath their martial law, and trample
freedom in the dust. Before we
make peace, therefore, and in order
to make peace, we must first reckon
with them.

II you don't want to 60 to Jail com
ply with the new food laws; one thing
you can't do and that is to livestock
with flour. Says the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Washington:
Retail sales OF -four to families in
towns and cities, according to the food
regulations" said Mr. Beck, are
limited to one-quarter barrel lots or a
single sack and to farmers from one
half to one barrel, depending upon the
distance from the point OF supply. For
larger supplies than barrel lots required
by those living at distant points from
the supply bases permission must be
secured either from the federal food
administrator or from the chairman OF
the county food committee. Hotels,
restaurants and eating houses may be
sold ten days supply.
There will be no change as to pork
less Saturday as to the use of pork
products on meatless days or for meat
less meals during the holiday period.
The trade is notified, however, that ii
the holidays result in unjustifiable in
creases in meat prices they will be
cancelled forthwith and any increase
will be deemed unjustifable unless
clearly shown otherwise.

FREE MANKIND FROM
AN INSANE CRIMINAL

There are only two possible ways
of ending this war: Either humanity
without you, without the coopera-
ton of the German people, will ami
hilate Prussian junkerdom, and will
starve out the German people that
thus they may free mankind, for
now and forever from a curse which
rests upon them with the weight of
Alpine SHOWS; from any insane crimz
inal on a throne who, by stroke of
the pen, may change millions of men
into corpses and cripples, and ruin
the industry and welfare of a ma
ton; either this or you yourselves
will assist in the task of freeing
mankind. Peace will not come one
hour before this goal is reached, but
not one hour later. But if this
goal should be reached without you
and in spite of you, you will be
ground down into ruin, and what is
more, the people of our German
fatherland will be given over to the
