QUAKER HERB EXTRACT DID TIT Mrs. Frank A. Overbeck Overjoyed at Result She Surely Did Have Wretchedly Bad Stomach

Again the people of New Britain have proof of the great powers of that wonderful remedy, Quaker Herb Extract. This is the remedy now be- ing introduced in this city by the Quaker man at the Economy Drug Store, No. 365 Main street It con- ta1ns no injurious drugs and is posi- lively composed entirely of extra cts of herbs, roots, barlls, berries leaves and blossoms. It is absolutely safe for young and old. You have read of the results it has given here in cases of rheumatism, catarrh and stomach troubles and if these have not yet convinced you of the merits of Quaker Herb Extract, read the following:
 drug store last Monday night:
 My stomach was in terrible condition and has been so for years. Last year I was obliged to sell out my little delicatessen store as I could not attend to business on account of the condition of my stomach l was extremely careful in my diet, still no matter what I ate it seemed to sour. Even a glass of pure water would 'cOuse distress My stomach would any tight-ftting clothes. Gas would form and then I would be in misery indeed Together with all these

troubles, I was frightfully constipated. 1 had tried so many things without getting relief that I no longer knew where to apply for relief. One day l reaG about Quaker Herb Extract and what it had done for d lady who lives next door to me on Arch street. l became interested and called on the Quaker man at the Economy Drug Store. He was very honest with me and as my case was so chronic he did not encourage me very much, still he insisted that I give Quaker Herb Elk tract a trial Heaven bless him for having done so. for this remedy has produced the most startling results. It has regulated my bowels, cleansed my stomach from aCcumulative inn puritieS and restored the digestive organs to their normal condition. I now eat heartily, enjoy everything I eat and no distress of any kind fol- lows. ] am we'll after over years of misery and I owe it all to Quaker Herb Extract"
 Is this not convincing? If you suf fer from rheumatism, catarrh or stomach troubles come to the Econo- my Drug Store, No. 365 Main street, at once and learn all particula rs about this wonderful remedy. Re member, you can meet the Quaker man at all hours until o'clock in the eVel,irZS

price fixing by any industry after the
government ceases to exercise price
control January l, will be regarded
by the department of justice as in
restraint of free competition, it was
stated today. The explanation was
made officially in answer to queries
as to what happens to war time price
fixing when the war industries board
ceases to function, at midnight to-
morrow.
The attitude of the department OF
justice as outlined by Attorney Cen
eraI Gregory is that the anti-t trust
laws, still effective, will be enforced
vigorously by the department. They
have been in full effect throughout
the war, but the department has not
regarded the action of industry in
maintaining prices fixed by the gov
ernment as contrary to law.

RUMOR Is Main
TOPIC OF A.E.F.

Rumors, rumors and more rumors
are the topic OF conversation among
men of the American Expeditionary
forces, according TO a letter received
by John w. Childers. of Fargo. from
his son. G.. E. (Ted) Childers, un-
der date of Nov. q, Fathers day.
Mr.. Childers, a graduate of Fargo
high school and one of the schools
best known athletes, is in France
with the 5th division headquarters
company. He formerly was employed
at the Fargo branch of the Ford Mo-
| tor Co.
Nowadays we hear rumor after
runor, for instance one minute we
hear that we are going to parade in
Paris, and the next that we are go-
ing home" he writes. From now
on until we are mustered out of
service. Old King Runor will be the
main topic OF Conversation among
the troops of the A. e. F.
The letter recites in detail incl
dents of the trip across, from the
date Of leaving Camp Dodge until
reaching camp back of the lines in
France.
Rent stateroom for So
Our next stop in our journey was
Southampton, which as everyone
knows, is one OF the greatest sea-
ports in England" he says in part.
1T was from here that we set sail
from France on what we would call
a ferry In America. for it resembled
one in every respect except that 1t
was larger. 1t was a nights run
across the channel, and the sleeping
accommodations were very poor, so
the chief engineer who was on duty
offered to rent me his stateroom
which would accommodate four, for
six dollars. I did lot of thinking
Don Burritt and Hank McTnnis were
broke, SO between Charlie Fields and
myself we rented the stateroom,
which afforded the four of us real
good nights sleep. Here I might add
that when we four stepped off the
boat at LaHavre the following morn
ing, we did so without a nickle in
our pockets. Nevertheless, we were
one happy bunch"
The letter states that the BOYS
We're disappointed in not being able
to visit Paris en- route to camp for
"the little old train, that hitherto
one could have passed on the run,
now suddenly put on burst of
speed, which only enabled us to get
one little glimpse Of the old, wicked
city"
The letter also tells of meetings
with Fred Thomaier of Fargo. and |
with Milton Sweningson, formerly a |
student at Fargo college, who was
on his way back to his. outfit after !
his discharge from the hospital as a |
result OF accidently shooting him |
