Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fern entat1on of food, distress af-
ter eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial d.
gesters, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from Indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elasti-
city into it, and make 1t sturdy enough
to digest a hearty meal without arti-
fetal aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere, and is rigidly guaranteed
Ito build up the stomach and cure indi-
lgestion, or money back.
This prescription is named Mona,
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes, for only a few cents Re-
member the name, Mona stomach

Country Which Shelf

CONFERENCE TO DECIDE
Just What VIII be Done With Intern.
ed Germans Not Definite Yet.
But Probably Will be
Deported.

What are they going to do with
| all the Germans we have in jail and
iinterned?"
Say, are they going to turn loose
the bunch of pro-Germans they ar
rested now that the war Is over?"
The newspaper man in Keokuk, 40
customed to gauge public interest
here by the questions he is asked IN
I the street, has heard those two Ques.
lions very Often within the last
month.
The answer comes in news letter
from Washington which indicates
that those Hun helpers in America
are not coming back to f1owery beds
of ease by long shot. 1t looks like
they will be deported, and that prob
ably will suit Keokuk people. many
Iof whom have said:
"If they don't like this country,
they ought to be sent out of it and
kept out of it. Send 'em to Germany
and make 'em stay there"
What Officials Say.
An officer of the department of JUS
tice at Washington said the other
day:
THE department of justice is de
voting its utmost energies to the
question of what to do with interned
Germans after the peace treaty is
signed No definite program has been
formulated"
The fact was emphasized, however
that the governments power to hold
enemy aliens in internment camps
automatically expires when the peace
treaty is ratified by the senate. The
statute under which the department
acts empowers 1t to intern enemy
subjects only for the duration OF the
war.
Therefore new legislative or execu
! tive action will be necessary or the
department will be forced to turn
| loose the interned Germans after the
war officially ends. This action may
come in one of three ways:
1. BY decision of the peace con
ference relative to the disposition Of
interned enemy subjects, which, when
incorporated in the peace treaty and
ratified by the senate, becomes par,
| of the law of the land to signatory
powers.
2. BY the passage by congress OF
| law designating what shall be done
with ''the Hun within"
8. BY proclamation of the presi
dent.
English Demanding Deportation.
! 1t is considered most likely thai
| the first course will be adopted and
that the peace congress will make
laws for all the belligerent govern
ments directing what shall be done
with interned persons.
| If the English delegates have theil
way, it is likely that these laws viii
require wholesale deportation of al
enemy subjects from every allied
country. Public sentiment in Eng
Hand is strongly In favor of sending
every German citizen in the British
isles back TO Germany.
Americas situation Is different
from that in England. however. The
British interned every German and
Austrian citizen they could find, re
lgardless of their attitude toward the
war.
Over here we merely detained
those Germans and Austrians who
seemed to be harmful.
The American people need have NJ
fears that the Huns who refused tt
respect our hospitality during tht
war will escape their deserts.

Nuxated Iron and It. Widespread sale lit be-
