A Bilious Attack

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and terrible headache.
Take three of Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as we'll as ever. They only cost
a quarter.

LABOR WAKING UP TO THE AID.
MANAGES OF PROHIBITION.

Speaking of the marked benefits
that have come to wage earners from
statewide prohibition, Mr.. Clint g.
Houston, editor Of the Denver Labor
Bulletin says:
"Since the saloons were closed the
money which went to the brewing and
liquor Interests, now goes to the FAM
lilies. The saloon. which was once her
aided as the poor mans club is now
known to have been his worst enemy.
| do not believe that is per cent Of
the wage-earners of Colorado would
ever again vote to re-establlsh the sa-
loon. In fact, a census which caused
TO be made Of three building trades
unions, one each in Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, shows that when
the beer amendment was up for adop-
ton In 1916, only about 8 per cent in
these three communities voted for it.
eff the wage-earners throughout the
nation can be made to realize what a
drain upon their incomes is removed
by the passing of the saloon and how
their own self-respect and the respect
Of others is enhanced thereby. they
will not only assist in the elimination
Of the saloon from the various states

give support to the national prOhlbl.

FOOD WILL WIN TIE WARE

When the senate's committee on ag-
riculture was investigating the subject
Of foodstuffs, the liquor men denied
that they consumed as much as the
prohibitionlsts said they did. They de-
clared that they used only one per cent
Of the grain.
All right, let's take them at their
word.
One per cent of the grain will feed
one per cent of the people. This means
100000 people, because there are
1O0,000000 of us In this country.
We shall probably send 100000 SOL
diers to France.
This means that the liquor men will
have been wasting enough foOdstuffs
to feed every last man who goes to the
trenches!
If food will win the war--as Hoover
says-then the liquor men have a fear
full responsibility resting upon them
when they deliberately waste the food
which would give life and strength to
our soldiers.
But what about the man whose vote
gives the liquor men the right to do
this? Every vote for the drys will
help save the soldiers at the 'front.'

now know to have been almost a
breach in the allied line.
Y. M. c. A. Beats the Troops.
In this sudden movement of troops,
Mr.. HARRISON said, the American Y.
NJ. G. A, made remarkable record.
In one instance orders came to a GER
tain American division to proceed at
once to a point 200 miles distant. The
brigadier general in command in

loaded with chocolate, food. tobacco
and other supplies.
When the troops arrived at their
destination they found the Y. NJ. G..

served them before In the 2O0-mile dis

quantities Of post exchange supplies
and several thousand gallons Of pip

In France, although l encountered

Any pacifist, pro-German, or other

preston that the American troops are

than because they want to, would be

Ralph w. HARRISON, Pittsburgh BUSH

work council of the Y. M. G. A. and
head of commission representing
that body, which has just returned
from special mission to France.
MIR. HARRISON spent 26 hours with
the Rainbow division under heavy fire
in a certain one of the American sec
tors.
''This used to be quiet part of
the 'front.'" Mr.. HARRISON explained.
"That is, it was quiet until the YEN
KEGS came. Among the troops who had
previously held these trenches there
had been less than score of casual
ties In over a year. The Boche moved
about pretty much as he pleased
and really led a placid life.

"Now things are different. Yankee
ingenuity is fairly outdoing itself to
make life miserable for Fritz, Worry

pastime.
"The thing that you cannot get away
from IS the high morale Of our men.

every minute and are sending over
ten shells for every three that come
our way.

monopoly on initiative. They keep
Fritz on the jump and have him
guessing all the time. But the thiAg
that makes you proudest is that they
are playing the game like real sports

duct even in the front lines reflect the
highest ideal of America today"

DIR. IRVING FISHER ON MoDER'
ATE DRINKING.

"The present movement for prohibit
ton is making it clear that moderate
drinking is fallacy. Alcohol Is al
ways a narcotic. 1t paralyzes the
brake on the heart beat. The judg-
ment is made incapable of detecting
the camouflage. 1t has been scien-
tifically shown that the typesettter
who takes one glass Of beer is, to that
extent, one-glass-of-beer drunk. =.
The men and women who advocate
moderation are responsible for much
heavy drinking. The stamp of approx
al in the drawlng-room makes alcohol
a desirable commodity among the
working class. Alcohol con-
sumes 51s per cent of the total food
values of the United States and ID per
cent Of our breadstuffs. It conscripts
fuel, transportation--the little neck Of
the bottle-and man-power. {.
If prohibition is good for wartime, 1t
is better for peace, for that is longer
time. There is then time to establish
Tor the nation the good habits formed
in time Of war;"

FAIRLY
A farmer told me that soon after
he moved from the country into a lit
tie town a man came to him and
wanted him to sign a petition for a
saloon in his town, and he said, mo
won't sign it." and the man said,
"Why?" He said, Because they don't
treat the saloonkeeper fairly" Now
this applicant for a license had had
many objections made to signing a
petition, but never had one Of this kind
been made before, and so he said,
''What do you mean by that?" Here
Is the explanation: "You think that
your saloon will help the town, don't
you?" eyes, sir" ''You think that 1t
will bring business and improved trade,
don't your" eyes, sir" swell, now,
If that saloon win do what you say 1t
viii; do, If it will bring trade and i'm
prove business, and help the town,
they ought to give you a bounty for
starting that saloon to help the town
and not make you pay big tax for
helping the town with the saloon" Can

argument?-William Jennings Bryan.
