CURE FOR DYSENTRY

"While l was in Ashland, Kansas,
a gentleman overheard me speaking
Of Chambedlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw,
Of Des Moines, Iowa. "He told me in
detail Of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his daugh-
ter who was lying at the point of
death with a violent attack Of dy-
sentery. and had been given up by
the family physician. Some Of his
neighbors advised him to give Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Rene
dy, which he did, and fully believes
that by so doing saved the life Of his
child. He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equal
ly gratifying results"

How are things going around
there? / suppose everybody is busy
about now in the harvest fields, and
getting ready to thresh. How did our

Well ! suppose you came out all
right in the election at least l hope
so and l know you did as there was
no reason why you should not.

time to get transferred and come

Well, the Americans sure are show
ing the Dutchmen what they can do
and that they are here for business

papers what they are doing, and we
only want to keep pounding them till

A BILIOUS ATTACK

When you have q 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 well
% ever. They only cost quarter.

LETTER FROM EZRA EVANS
Auvuet 1919

Dear Mother:
got your letter this morning, very
glad indeed to ge it. I have been
afraid that maybe you were worry
ing good bit about me having to 20,
but by your letter it seems that you
are not, which makes me very glad.
The bugle is sounding for lyceum
SO must 60.
An hour later.--I was pleasantly
surprised at lyceum. l, along with
about fifteen other boys, were given
a slight promotion. We were pro-
NOTED to first-class privates. II is the
first step in the military promotive
line and l feel quite proud of having
gained il altho it does not mean but
$500 more a month, but that is not
what makes me proud of it. The
honor can be taken from us at any
time, though, il we prove ourselves
unworthy. Heitman (Barby's neph-
ew) and Barrow were among the
ones thus promoted. Yes, Heitman is
a fine religious boy, and my main
chum. We have been talking, Won
dering what we would do if they sep
arated US. We are going to ask the
officers not to do so IL it appears that
there is danger Of it, yet can not
see where there is.
One Of our first lieutenants gave
us an impressive talk at lyceum as
to the moral standing he wished us to
uphold. His key note statement to
me was: "If you cannot return to
your mothers and sweethearts with as
high moral standing as you had
when you left, you are not true
Americans"

day the 3rd, and SO far like the

They sure made US feel as though we
were among home folks again. They
asked US to call again whenever it
was convenient for US, and II possi-
bic, to come for dinner some Sunday.

G0ETHE'S PROPHECY
BY Augustus Thomas
Of dhe Vigilantes.

Goethe said: THE prussian is by
nature cruel: civilization will make
him fcrocious". Goethe was pro-
civilization as far as it can
affect the Prussan, has made him
ferociouS. and conccii has rendered
himinvuncrablc to reform. Though
scores Of years congenilal magalo-
mania has been crafllv fed and
augmented by official and philo-
sophica and literary and religious
reiieration of German greatness un-
til The idea has become national
f'hfs treatment has left The Pan
German imagination with only
captive feasibility OF The dachshund
variety. so near the ground that ii
seems to have been born under a
bureau Present pan-Germany can
not see with its arrested spiritual
development that its Kaiser, as En-
erson said of Napoleon, is doomed
to ultimate defeat, because he is
fighting against The moral law Of The
universe.
They don't recognize moral law
They can't even see it; dense ma
terialism has covered their organs
of spiritual perception.
1t is their philosophy that success
iuslilies any means the state may en-
ploy; that the foulest methods are
sleriliezd and made sweet by vic
tory.
They believe themselves diyinely
appointed in this world to put
"eDuschland uber allies"
That conquest is good title.
That if YOU seize and take away
the machi very from the factories Of
an invaded nation, YOU can then ar
rest and deporl The workmcn for
the crime of idlcneSs.
That if YOU first take the peoples
food until they cry for bread. YOU
may then lessen the demand by car
rying their young and ablc-bodied
women into ominouS and unreport-
ing silence. ~
That the benign laws of "Spurlos
verscnkt" make Prussia the resi-
duary legatee.
Thai il is amusing to submerge
U-boal when captured merchant
sailors are locked outside upon the
deck.
That chloride gas is proper
weapon if the wind is blowing to-
wards France, bur that it is contrary
to International law if it is blowing
toward Germany
That they may cruelty Canadian
if they take him captive, but that
if he captures them the cry of
"Kamerad" puts him on his honor
That to break bread with a man
is the safest prelude to his assassi-
nation, and that an ambassadors
honorable exemption from police
visitation makes him an ideal
fence"
America must be made to realize
this code. She must be shown the
