GERMAN SPORT IS
TO ROB BELGIUM
OF EVERYTHING


Scarcely a day passes without its
fresh report OF German cruelties in
Belgium. The country is being sys-
tematically stripped of such valuables
as remain to it. The deportation Of
it, uroffendinP inhabitants proceeds
with fiendish disregard of justice and
decency. If the Berlin Government
intends to give up the little kingdom
at the close of the war, it is act-
ing with methodical dcviltry to make
Belgium released will be but the
shadow OF her former self.
German heartlessness has been
shamelessly exhibited in Serbia and
Poland. 1t has given new impetus
to the Turks policy of organized
murder in Armenia. But Belgium, be-
ing nearer us, is brought more for
chilly before our eyes. We shudder
as we behold the sufferings of King
Alberts shattered nation, and we
pledge ourselves anew to the task
of punishing the barbarians who tore
up their solemn treaty in August,
1914, and proclaimed a new morality"
of necessity as they swept across
the boundary of their weak but
courageous neighbors.
German Patronage Scorned
The German campaign for the hu-
initiation OF Belgium has attempted
to isolate Flanders from the rest
OF the little country. Everything
possible has been done to stimulate
in that part OF Belgium a sentiment
of separation. A so-called Flemish
Council has been set up-a plain
travesty on autonomous government
Equally prepOsterous has been the
Flemish uni, ersity under German
auspices-the faculty at last accounts
outnunbered the students. Flanders,
like the other Belgian provinces, is
determined to resist the invader. 1t
will have none of his patronage.
Resentment Not Understood
1t is difficult for the German mind
to understand Belgium's fierce re-
sentiment. Over and over the stolid
Teuton repeats to himself and to
anyone who will listen to him. tha-
Belgium would have been happy and
prosper GUS today if she has not op-
PC I'd the German crossing. The fact
is that Germany and the rest of the
world speak two languages. Their
ways of thinking are mutually hos
tile. Their creeds. their systems OF
training. their ideals. are antagonis-
tic When we talk of honor. the
German shrugs his shoulders. When
we speak OF freedom. he smiles be-
caues he has no conception of the
significance we give the word. He
cannot understand why Belgium pre-
ferred the terrible fate of annihila-
tion to purchasing her exemption by
dishonorable violation of her treaty
relations.
Force Only Is Recognize
There is no use arguing with the
Berlin Government. The only log
ic it recognizes is the logic of force.
Every new report of Teutonic cruel
ty in Belgium should make us but
the more resolved that Germany
shall relax her grasp on the con-
querred territory and restore it, so
far as money and labor are capable
of doinU af this late dav

CAROUI A
 SPLENDID TONIC
For Women Says Hixson Lady, Who Took This Medicine On Her
 Doctors Advice.

Hixson, Tex.-Mrs. J. E. Gadd, of this place, makes the following state ment regarding her experience with Cardui: 'I was .. suffered with pain in my left side; could not sleep at night for this pain-alwavs in the left side My feet and legs were ter ribly swollen. I was almost in bed.
 My doctor told me to use Cardui. took one bottle, which helped me, and after my baby came l was stronger and better, but the pain was still there. l at first let it go, but began to get weak and in a rundown condition, so l decided to try some more Cardui, which I did. The last Cardui took made me much better, and, in fact, cur ed me. It has been number of years still 1 have had no return of this trouble. I feel it was Cardui that cur ed me, and l recommend it as a splen- did female tonic."
 If you feel weak, tired, wornout, or suffer from any of. the ailments pecul- far to women, try Cardui, the wo- mans tonic. It must be a good medi- cine for women, for many thousands have voluntarily told, just as Mrs. Gadd did, of the good i thas done them. Ask some lady friend who has tried Cardui. She will tell you how it helped her, Then get a bottle from your nearest druggist.
