Our boys are defending this country on the high seas and on the land. Our own defense against common enemy Is to keep the system clean by ridding the body of the toxins, or poisons which are bred in the intestineS. When you feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your breath is offensive or pimples appear on the face and neck, it Is time to recog- nize the danger and protect your bodily health by taking something for the liver such as Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
 The machinery of the body needs to be oiled, kept in good condition, just as the guns or machinery of ship. Why should a human person neglect his own machinery more than that of his auto mobile or his guns? Yet most people do neglect themselves. Their tongue has dark brown color, skin sallow. breath bad, yet they fail to sec that their machinery needs attention.
 pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have been known for nearly half century. They are made of May-apple, leaves of aloe and jalap, made into q tiny pellet and coated with suRar. They are stand- ard and eflieaeious You can obtain them at any drug store In vials for twenty-five cents. Ask for Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets-and get no other!

Washing ngton.-President Wilson is- sued proclamation placing the en, tire foreign commerce of this country under license
 Ne commodities can be exported or imported from or to the United States except by special license,
 As forecast, the new restriction on imports was deemed necessary by the increased tonnage shortage and de- mand for all available bottoms for war supplies. It is one of the most far reaching steps President Wilson has yet taken. involving. as 1t does, dell- cate diplomatic questions and sharp eurtallment not only of American Ill dustry. but the commerce of all neu> trals.
 Tonnage Is Needed.
 The eXportation proclamation was issued, il was officially stated. be ,ause of the acute tonnage situation and the military situation. and the ne- cessity to conserve the products of ,he country fer the necessary conduct of the war"
 l. prohibits the eXportauon of all articles of manufacture er produce ex. cept under license by the government and does not mean an embargo on x ports or prohibition of imports. but places in the hands of the president the power to regulate.
 This power he will exercise through he war trade board and the treasury department. and t wlil b. exercised with the single purpose of winning the war.
 Every effort will he made to avoid any unnecessary interference with the country's foreign trade and to impose upon our exporters and importers na restrictions except those involved Tn the accomplishment of definite and necessary objects.
