Our men on the firing line are physic-

THE commandment of Jesus that ws

clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from
stiffness in the knees in the morning on

may have rheumatic pains, pain in the

to the uric acid or. toxic poisons stored in

If we wish to keep our kidneys in the

The Governments Success or Failure

One way of stating the situation OF
the United States is to say that after
nearly 10 months of war we are not
yet ready to fight, that our armies are
unequipped and not half.trained. tina,
| we have no air service. no artillery
even, but that we have spent as much
money with nothing to show for it, as
| England spent in three years.
Another way of stating the same
situation is that after nearly 10 months
of war, the enemy occupies not a single
square foot of American TERRITORY and
| has no prospect of being able to bring
the war to our doors. or to seize any de-
| tendency of the United States. If we
are unprepared to strike the enemy in
his home, the fact remains that the high
ly prepared enemy is even more unable
to strike us. If we have an army OF
only quarter of million men placed
on the German battle lines in Europe,
there is still not single German sol
der on our own side of the ocean. Our
army may have no machine guns and
no artillery and its gas masks may be
rotten, yet it has not been wiped out
We may have scored no military victo-
ries, yet it is also true that we have
spent an excessive amount of money, but
we have paid no war indemnities
Our government may be CHASTITY
failure, yet if it would now make a
separate peace with Germany, leaving
France and Great Britain in the lurch.
not to mention Italy and Russia~-and
with none of those powers does the
United States have the treaty obliga-
tions of an alliance-this country of ours
could virtually dictate the peace terms
and selfishly insure its own place in the
sun.
Neither of these statements, of course
presents the situation correctly; yet one
is as correct as the other. After read
ing the first preservation, it would always
be well to read the second. Whether
the country has succeeded OF failed at
this stage of the war depends on the
standard set up. France has failed thus |
far to expel the German invaders; Eng |
land has failed to drive them out of Bel |
GUM: Italy has failed to keep the Aus
trians out of the Venetian plain; Russia |
has failed even to remain great |
power. If the burden of all their fail |
ures is to be loaded upon the United |
States, 5000 miles away, with the cool /
that after 10 months of war
America is not yet ready to drive the
Germans back across the Rhine and the
AustTians back across the lsonzo and re-
integrate the Russian empire. and vir
tually overrun the. continent of Europe,
then, indeed, the incspaeity of our gov
eminent NAV be made to appear in the
most appalling light.
Before denouncing the government Of
he United States, first let us decide
what could fairly and properly be re-
luired of it ON European battlefelds.
Upon that the answer to the charge /
hat it has failed in any important de-
gree depends Springfield Republican.

DOCTORS ARE
BOOSTING IT

Still the good work goes on. Soor
there will not be any more tired, nerv,
Gus people in our city.
This is caused largely by the wide
spread use of Phosphated Iron, the new
tonic and nerve bracer that has sprung
into instant popularity with the medical
world.
Phosphated Iron will help any run
down, nervous conditions almost immedi-
ately. 1t will put fresh iron in the blood
the phosphates taking hold of the nerve
centers and bracing them up. You viii
eat better, sleep better and get up in the
morning feeling like doing things; you
viii feel the old-time vim and snap of
youth surging through your veins; you
will tackle the days work with conf
denee and a smile.
Science has taught US that when we
have enough iron and phosphorus in the
blood and nerves We are healthy; that
almost all conditions OF i'll health and
nervousness are due TO the lack of iron
or phosphorus. Phosphated Iron rarely
fails TO supply the needed amount OF
both.

British Labor Sound on the War.

There is no Bolshevism in the British
Labor party's declaration of its war aims
and peace aims. In brief, its peace aims
are shown by this declaration to be war
aims. The faction of 'qutters" was yes
terday voted down, by a majority OF
about two thirds, in the national conven
ton of the party at Nottingham and the
utterance of the president of the conven-
tion, eve must fight on was fully APP

officially upon the declarations of Presi-

voting down Overwhelmingly an attempt
to denounce the heads of the American

This declaration of British labor is not
to be taken as a personal triumph of Mr..
Wilson or of Mr. Lloyd George It is
first and all the time an honest expires
sion of the Labor party, which was never
more convinced than it is now that it is
ere long going to rule in England. In
fact the Labor party is not now in
compromising or personally conducted
mood at all II is very full of its par
ticular party propaganda. The opinion
expressed in its resolutions is therefore
official and fundamental. II proves that
the British labor element is not revolu-
tionary, but constructive in its ideas, and
that il believes in maintaining govern
ment on the American, rather than the
Russian, plan. And whatever the party's
ultimate programme may be. it sees
plainly enough that there will be no
