mitted that Berger has on numerous
occasions printed editorials attack
ing the kaiser and the junker class
i'm Germany. Judge Lands refused
TO allow the witness to answer a
Question alleging that Berger's at
tacks on the kaiser had been re
sponsible for his defeat in his race
for congress in 1914.
District Attorney Clyne then read
extracts from a number of anti-war
editorials published by Berger in
the Milwaukee Leader.
Assailed L. =. Democracy.
one Of the articles said that Ger
man social-democracy was infinitely
more democratic than the democra-
cy Of Pres't Wilson. The editorial
inquired what the German people
had ever done 70 this country that
the United states should send large
armies abroad to kill them, and to
be killed
Another editorial read into the
records expressed the opinion that
the persons who opposed the war
were the true. genuine Americans.
In another article it was declared
that the war was unpopular, despite
the efforts Of the capitalistic press
to make it appear popular.
The selective draft was described
las a national shame in another ar
ticle. which added that war was the
price the people paid for having re-
Jected socialism.
Another article was read entitled
-NYar and Insanity" in which il was
stated that in an army of one mil
lion men, forty thousand soldiers
might be driven insane.
Would Avoid Draft
A number of letters taken from
the office of William f. Kruz, ma
.tional secretary of the Young Peo-
pies Socialist league, one of the
defendants, were offered in evidence
by the government.
Most of them were in reply TO in
quiries from socialists asking for
advice in regard to the army draft

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

Weak thin pcoplc-mcu and
women are nearly always nervous
wrecks; thus couclusiycly proving
that thinncss, weakness. debility and
ncuraSthcnia are almost invariably
due to nerve starvation. Feed your
nerves and all these symptoms duc
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phatc known among druggists as
-Bltro- Phosphate a five grain tablet
OF which should be taken with each
meal. Being genuine nerve build
cr and not Stimulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can
be safely taken by the weakest and
most delicate sufferer, and the re
suits following its use are often sim
ply astonishing. Weak, tired people
regain strength and vigor: thinness
and angularity give way TO plump
ness and curves, sleep returns TO the
sleeplesS, confidence and cheerful
ness replace debility and gloom, dull
eyes become bright, and pale. sunk
en- cheeks regain the pink glow OF
health. Bitro-Phosphatc, the use OF
which is Inexpensive, also wonder
fully promotes the assimilation oi
food, 50 much so that many people
report marked gains Of weight in
few weeks.
CAUTION:- Although Bitro-
Phosphate Is unsurpassed for reliev-
ing nervousness, sleeplessness and
general weakness, it should not, ow-
ing to its remarkable flesh-growing
properties, be used by anyone who
does not desire TO put on flesh. 1t
