Making Good.

Large employers of labor through
out the country have announced that
those who left their service to go to
war did so with the assurance that
their positions would be open on their
return. They have declared that
they are now ready to redeem their
pledge.
II is creditable that the employers
have risen above frequent CONNER
cial practice in the matter of these
promises. Business usage often
countenances the neglect of an obli-
cation until the party interested
brings il obtrusively to the attention
of the party liable. But in this
country we can rise to higher ideals
when the inspiration is Forthcoming.
1t is a pity that our inspired mo-
ments cannot be made continuous.
In this case the employers will
probably get the thick end of the
deal. The returning workers will in
nearly all cases be more valuable
now than when they went away. They
have healthier bodies. broader Wis
ion. stiffened will-power, greater self
control and a sterner sense Of res
possibility.

It's Thumbs Down!

So far as America is concerned 1t
is thumbs down for Germany until
the peace conference has finally de-
cided her fate.
Germany's friends in America
must be made to realize this.
For already the German propagan-
dists are getting busy in her behalf.
Now that the armistice has been sign
ed, the war to all intents and pur-
poses ended, they are talking SYM
pathetically of the stricken father
land.
. Trying to sway public opinion in
her behalf.
And it must be stopped.
Germany halted at nothing in her
mad raid upon Europe. Every prin-
ciple of humanity was tossed into the
discard. No cruelty, no outrage, no
form of destruction and devastation
was too drastic. And in her meth
DDS of warfare she set pace that
Mortified all civilization.
And finally, when she was all in,
beaten to a standstill, and whipped
beyond hope of recovery, she came
to US with bloody hands up.
Pleading for mercy! -
1t wasn't Americas war. OF all
the nations involved America suffer
ed the least The appalling blood
cost fell most heavily upon Europe.
And the German fate will in the final
ity be decided at the European hands.
Germany knows this. Knows that
she can hope for little mercy at Euro
pean hands. But she is counting
largely upon the influence Of SYM
pathetic American public opinion.
But more she is counting upon her
friends here to arouse that sympathy.
Right now the American duty is to
block this propaganda.
To keep hands off and let Germany
face her fate.
Every active German sympathizer
found pleading the German cause
should be reported to the federal
authorities instantly.
With America it's thumbs down.

Stop Indigestion
With Vim Hepatica.

You don't have to suffer from
sour stomach, or heaviness in your
chest or stomach after every meal
you eat.
That's indigestion. Stop it with
Vim Hepatica before more serious
complications arise.
Come in and get bottle and take
plenty Of it, 1t goes right to the
seat of the trouble at once. 1t is
natures own prescription for the re-
lief of indigestion and other disorders
Of the stomach, kidneys, liver and
