The reason this famous root and herb

Compound, was so successful in Miss
Kelly's case was because it went to the

her nervousness disappeared.

lBy Associated Press 10 Tee BannerI
ST. LOUIS, March 4-Enforced
loyalty has been placed on a business
basis in Macoupin, Madison and Mont
gomery COUNTIES in southern Illinois
where the activities of pro-German
propagandists recently became so pro-
nounced that vigilance committees in
numerous towns have forced hun
dreds of suspected persons TO make
public manifestations of their alleg-
lance to the government. In one town
two alleged leaders of seditious move
ments were tarred and feathered.
Branches of the American Defense
Society operating through vigilance
committees in practically every town
in the district have taken the lead in
stamping ont disloyalty. The first
move to oust the propagandists was
made in Staunton where an alleged
attorney We're escorted to the city
limits, coated with tar and feathers
and started walking in different di-
rections. The reason for this aggres-
sion was said to be the activity of the
men in causing dissension among sew
eral thousand coal miners near Staun-
ton.
On the same night more than one
hundred persons were made to sign
pledges of loyalty.
News of the use of such stern meas
urcs spread and within week Wor.
den Mount Olive, Gillispie, William,
son, FIillsboro and several other small.
Ter towns made demonstrations. In
some of these towns scores of persons

were compelled to play patriotic airs
on musical instruments, Protests
against such action were construed as
| evidences of disloyalty. In several
| such instances arrests were made aud
federal charges preferred against the
men.
The most serious result of the dem
| onstrations was in Hillsboro where

6,144. Other denominations with more
than 1000 members are Christians
2,721, Roman Catholics, 1926, and
Presbyterians 1886. The compare
lively small proportion of Roman
Catholics, it was said, was due TO the
fact that the membership of the camp
was drawn chiefly from small rural
districts in the southwest
Ninety-four men in the camp, who
profess religious convictions against
soldering, have been assigned to less
warlike duties, most of them having
found places in the Kitchen Police"
Twelve infdels, one atheist and four
teen agnostics were listed and one
soldier called himself pagan and an
other said he was pantheist, single
representatives appeared also of the
Millenial Dawn brotherhood and Con-
fucianism. There are two Buddhists,
fourteen Mormons, eleven Reorgan-
lied Mormons, six Russellites, one
Meggido, one Pilgrim, eight Holy Rol-
lers, two Christadelphians and one
Bantest, who combine with numerous
subdivisions of the better known de-
nominations TO make up the heter-
ogeneous whole.
Every effort is made TO provide op-
portunty for the men to worship and
practice whatever religion they pro-
fess. Religious freedom" is an ac-
tuality here and not just 4 catch
. phrase. All of the larger denomina-
tions hold regular services while all
men have opportunity for individual
attention to their spiritual wants.

f. b. Emory, city marshall and Err
nest Flath were wounded. Later it
was learned Donaldson had enlisted
in the navy only few days before
his death and that his father was un-
acquainted with any of the suspected
persons.
Members of the vigilance committee
deny that they counsel violence. They
declare that their actions have the ap-
proval OF civic officers. They insist
that the district embraced by Macou-
pin. Madison and Montgomery counties
for some time has been the objective
of an active campaign by pro.German
,sympathizers.
AS evidence of their success they
point to a recent meeting of repre-
bers of miners union in Staunton.
In less than one week after two al
legged sedition leaders had been tar
red and feathered, the union voted a
contribution of $50 per month for the
Red Cross, purchased $1,000 worth of
thrift stamps, reinstated all members
who had lost standing because of army
or navy enlistment, arranged for pay,
ment of their dues during the period
of the war, and ended a mass meeting
in such ii burst of patriotic fervor
that the singing of the national an
them was drowned in cheers for Presi
dent Wilson and the government.
Reports from other cities where
demonstrations were staged indicate
that the same leaven of patriotism is
at work and that prospects are bright
for fullilment of the wish of "loy
atty" leaders that the district be made
zone hundred per cent American"

 side of Story.
VISITED THE OFFICERS
Claim That Working Con- ditions at the Plant Misrepresented to
 Them.

The six Norwegian girls who were brought to town yesterday from the plant of the Lisianski Packing Com oany are today endeavoring to se- cure other work and are also con ,ulting with Government officials re- garding their standing. This morn ng they consulted with Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., and with Marshal J. M. Tanner, and were informed that no complaint had been filed against them.
 The girls are very much hurt over he fact that they have been branded IS pro-German, and indignantly deny he charges. q took my last cent put of the bank and bought a Lib arty Bond during the last drive, said one of them this morning.
 The story of the trouble as told by the girls indicates a misunder. standing between the company of ficials and themselves over working conditions. We came North under contract to pack herring in bar
