where the valiant French have actu-
ally killed more than 100000 Germans
conyinces me that the last French
soldier is ready to die with gun in
lis hands before he'll let the Ger
mans pass.
And there are no more tenacious
brayer fighters in all the world than
the British, with their wonderful fac
iulty for organization and their almost
unlimited munitions.
But if the allies should be able. in
the near future only 10 stand off the
German offensiyes, instead of coming
back with a knockout punch that
would put the kaiser out of business,
then tle result can mean only one
thing and that is that the struggle
must go on fer long time.

the allies.
Every day that America delays or
bubbles means the loss Of more lives
in the end.
If the war should terminate in Il
German victory before America hrows
her weight into the scales, then we
must necessarily hang cur heads in
shame for all time to come.
Speed up. America

Great God. man, there ae three eight

That's the way everybody over here

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young -- to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion -- dark rings
under your eyes --pimples -- bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. " Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
II DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
b DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of innurities.

Breast lea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee, at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through II sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring 1t is the most
elective way to break cold and cure

relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system
Try it tine next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harDlless.

PRODUCTION OF
FOOD GROWING
Floyd r. Todd Speaks to Rotary
Club On Importance of I'm
pIement Business.

The necessity of the implement
industry to carry on it's work so
that a normal flow of machinery
can be put out to produce the nee
essary amount of food needed in the
world. was impressed and explained
to members OF the Moline Rotary
club by Floyd r. Todd, vice presi-
dent of Deere & Co, at a meeting
held yesterday noon.
Mr. Todd $ poke Of the great
things ahead OF the country that
was in store for the future. This
subject was well chosen and cen
tered around the effects of peace on
the implement industry. He said
that the implement business and al
industries engaged in the produc-
ton of food have a great 1SIty to
turn out machinery to the dealer
and farmer so that they may fully
discharge their obligations to feed
the people of the world
1T is quite possible" he contin-
ued, that Immediately following
the signing Of peace, or perhaps
during the period that will eIapse
between the armistice and the hap
pening Of that event. some democrat
izatiOn will occur while industry is
tryin gto find its way back from the
activities of war TO those of peace.
But if such is the case il will only
be temporary for there can be no
considerable reduction in the price
of food as long as the demand ex-
Ceeds the supply. There can be no
reduction in wages while the cost Of
living remains as high as at pres
ent and. consequently, no consid-
cradle reduction in the products of
labor.
The forming Of a bread line, if
the shortage Of food is suffi GENTLY
acute and lasting. invariably leads
TO a revolution and anarchy These
conditions almost universally main
tain TO-DAY among the central ma
tons of Europe and are not far re-
moved from the peoples of our al
lies
There is very little surplus food
in the world With the release Of
shipping a reasonable quantity Of
wheat is available in Australia and
we have some surnlus in this cOun-
try. but the supplies in sight are
nowhere nearly adeGuate to take
care of the starving, underfed
pe0nles Of Europe.
1T is therefore only by strictest
.aconOmv and greatest effort to pro-
duce more food during the year to
come. that open anarchy can be
prevented throughout the con
quered empires. which if permitted
to continue and expand. must nee
csearilv affect the allied countries
adjoining and nerhaps might finally
endanFer civilization of the entire
world"
