To drive tank, handle the guns, and
sweep over the enemy trenches, takes
strong nerves, good rich blood, q good
stomach, liver and kidneys. When the
time comes, the man with red blood In
his veins "is up and at It." He has iron
nerves for hardships-an interest in his
work grips him. That's the way you
feel when you have taken blood and
nerve tonic, made up Of Blood root,
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Cherry
bark. and rolled into sugar-coated
tablet and sold in sixty-cent walls by al
most oil druggists for past fifty years
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. This tonic, in liquid or tablet form,
is just what you need this spring to
give you vim. vigor and vitality. At the
fag end of hard winter, no wonder
you feel rundown" blue, out Of sorts.
Try this Medical Discovery" Of DR..
Pierce's. Don't wait To-day is the
day to beginl A little ''pep," and you
laugh and live.
The best means to oil the machinerA
OF the body, put tone into the liver,

A CARD
n ChtSO
To the Voters of BeaYe

To the Voters OF Beaver County
As a candidate for County Sup
erintendent ! am asking you respect
fully to cast your vote for me at
the coming election OF county Of
ficers. am we'll aware that the
voter usually likes to see the candi-
date who is soliciting his vote. l
would be glad to meet each and every
n Of you but my duties in the
school room renders 1t impossible for
me to make a house-to-house canvass.
This is why l am taking this means
Of reaching the voter that l cannot
meet personally. The slogan Of the
times is-Win the War First.
The burning cry that ONE back
to us from the battle front is for
men. Send us more men!" The
government is calling for more men.
Men for the s%hipyards. Men for the
munitions factories. Men for the var
ious plants engaged in the production
Of war material. Men are wanted
for the allied industries. Everywhere
women are doing what they can to re-
lieve men for the Industrial war work.
This Is as II should be and Is but the
breathing spirit of American woman
hood. Never forget that there Is
somewhere an American mother back
of the American boy in the trench.
Educational matters must not lag
The instruction Of the young must
go on. A teacher by profession, ]
think l can best do my bit by acting
as your County Superintendent OF
schools. II, however. at the Novem.
Der elections, you declare by your
vote that you want a man for the Of
flee l will still be fully an American
In spirit and %endeavor. and my ser.
vices will be at the command of any
branch OF womens war-relief work.

The editor Of the Tyrone Observer.

Dick r. Morgan should be reelected.
He says:
This office has kept in close
touch with the record and activities
OF Dick T. Morgan in Congress. and

Mr.. Morgan represents all WI can
ask Of a public servant--looks after
the interests Of this territory first, is
o strong supporter of the President
and Is pushing the war to the limit
Of his ability. He is doing better work
than a large number of Democratic
Congressman and although this is a
Democratic state we believe he should
be sent back this fall. without fail,
Times are too serious to mingle poll.

HON. DICK T. MORGAN A CON.
STRVCrIVE STATESMAN

Omer X. Benedict. long time Wash
ington correspondent of the Tulsa
World, In writing to his paper. says:
Hon. Dick T. Morgan. Republican
member of Congress from the Eighth
Oklahoma district. Is n OF the real
constructive statesmen of the present
congress.
Mr.. Morgan has served his dis
trict for ten years and will no doubt
see many more years of service. I'm
like a great many of the 435 members
of the House Of Representatives. Mr..
Morgan Is not content to sit idly by
and merely vote on some other men,
ber's bill. but he fosters legislation,
promotes progress and initiates law
II Is a singular thing In Congress
for an individual Congressman "a
initiate and successfully carry thru
to the Presidents signature new and
far-reaching measures Of law. Yet
that Is the proud record OF this versa
tile Oklahoma members"
