At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills Of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and imp0v-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listlesS manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's

The following article from Con-

Mr.. Wells explanation as to why
he asked Mr.. Campbell for the state
ment and Mr.. Campbell's reply fol-
lows:
We recently sent to Congressman
P. P. Campbell some clippings taken
from Democratic newspapers in the
Third district and other political
"stuff" that was being circulated in
regard to his alleged war record. They
We're so unqualifiedly false and un-
fair that we suggested to him that
we believed the people of the Third
district would be pleased to have a
fair and frank statement from him in
regard to his far record. In response
to that suggestion he is giving the
people of this district statement COW
ering his war record. 1t is to the
point. It is written in the Kansas
language. You will have no trouble
to understand it. Here it is:

Mr.. Dear Seth:
/ have your letter Of August 18th
inclosing campaign material now be-
ing used by my Democratic opponent.
These remarkable documents state
that l have opposed the present war
program in every possible way. That
statement is unqualifidely false. On
the contrary, l have worked and voted
for every measure necessary for the
conduct of the war. ] have voted
against measures that merely created
political jobs for friends of the Ad-
ministration at the expense of mil
lions from the public treasury.
am so busy now that / shall get
but moment from the important war
measures that follow each other in
such rapid succession here, to the pet
ty politics of the Democratic candi-
date.
The matter of supreme and press
ing Importance is to bring this war
to an early and complete victory and
while doing so to provide for the CON-
fort and safety of our boys who are
offering their lives on land and sea
for their country. The Democratic
candidate does not seem to compre-
hend or appreciate this. He rehearses
political clap trap on matters that
were disposed of before the campaign
of 1914 and 1916. He walls because ]
have not yielded to all the whims and
obeyed all the dictates of Woodrow
Wilson since his first inauguration
in 1913-a thing I could not have done

my constituents. / am just wonder

trying to make US all forget the Shad-
ow Lawn speech, late in October, 1916,

BIOGRAPHICAL LINES OF
 AUSTRIAN EVACUATION

Washington, Nov. A map survey of the geographical lines fixed for Austrian evacuation shows that the area is even greater than that set by the Italians as the goal of ther am bition when they entered the war. At that time the Italian leaders earthly outlined and indicated on their war maps the territory along their borders which they deemed it necessary that they acquire for racial and sentimen- tai reasons and also to insure the se- curity of their frontiers.
 In decreeing Austrias surrender terms. the supreme war council at Versailles has followed this outline closely, but have enlarged upon it to some extent. The right of occupation Of these vacated provinles is stipu lated; but it is to be noted that for the time being civil government is tC bA administered by the existing local civil government is to be administered by the existing local civil authorities in cooperation with the occupying gar risons. This means that the whole question of final disposition of the territory involved is left to be set ted at the peace table.
 Italian military officers here thrilled with pride tonight over the evidence of final victory contained in tine ar rlistice programme.
