1Foop WILL WIN THE WAR;

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
prohibitionists 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
1O0,000,0OO 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
trenchesl
If food will win the war--as Hoover
says--then the liquor men have 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.'

"EATONIC neutralizes the acids,
that form the painful gases, Sweet
ems" the stomach, and gives the gastric
Juice a chance to do Its work as 1t
should.
ITO promote appetite and aid diges-
ton, take EATONIC tablets--One or
two after each meal. They are per-
fectly harmless. Eat them just like
candy.
'For distress after eating; sour,
"gassy," acid stomach, vertigo, nausea
and belching, and that wretched,
puffed-up, ''lumpy" feeling, after over
eating; there is nothing to compare
with EATONIC Tablets"
All druggists sell EATONIC - 50c
for large box. Watch out for imita-
lions. The genuine bears the name
EATONIC on each tablet--guaranteed
to do oil that is claimed; or II your
druggists don't carry EATONIC--send

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's

Ca)omel is mercury or quicksilver

Had Not Studied German.

A twelve-yearold boy attending an
Indianapolis school has established a
reputation for patriotism. Recently
he started home so full of American
ism and the trenches that he began
to yell "Hoch der kaiser People lis
tened and wondered why the youngster
was giving forth such nm utterance.
Just before he reached the gate man
stopped him and asked him why he
was cheering for the kaiser: The boy
denied it. THAT means hang the kali
SER" the boy said. The man put him
right and that night the boy went
over the same route yelling Hang the
kaiser, hang the kaiser"

RelieveYorlr
Rheumatism
For Csc.
Mr. Today Relief or No Pay

There are three vital processes of
human existence, the digestion of
food, the extraction Of nourishment
from It and the elimination OF the
waste.
Let anything interfere with these
processes,--let them be interrupted or
improperly carried ON, and sickness -
OF some kind follows.
Poor digestion and assimila- \
ton means failure to derive r.
full nourishment from food and
that In turn often means i'm
poverished blood, weakness, N
anemia, etc. Poor elimination
means an accumulation Of waste
matter which poisons the body, lowers
vitality, decreases the power Of re-
sistance to disease and leads to the
development Of many serious ills.
Rheumatism,--due to soma interfer-.
ence with the process OF elimination,
failure to get rid of certain body
poisons, cannot be expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for It. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself Of rheumatic pain ~ long a.

sALooNKEEPER NOT TREATED
FAIRLY

A farmer told me that soon after
he moved from the country into a lit
tie town man came to him and
wanted him to sign petition for a
saloon in his town, and he said, "No
I won't sign it," and the man said,
"Why?" He said, Because they don't
treat the saloonkeeper fairly" Now
this applicant for license had had
many objections made to signing
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
your" "Yes, sir" "You think that 1t
will bring business and improved trade,
don't your" "Yes, sir" swell, now,
if that saloon will do what you say it
will do, If it will bring trade and inn
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
you answer the logic Of that mans
argument ?-William Jennings Bryan.

DR.. IRVING FISHER ON MoDER-
ATE DRINKING.

"The present movement for prohibit
ton is making it cfear that moderate
drinking is a fallacy. Alcohol Is al
ways narcotic. 1t paralyzes the
brake on the heart beat. The judy
ment is made incapable Of detecting
the camoufiage. It 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 drawing-room makes alcohol
desirable commodity among the
working class. 4. Alcohol con-
sumes 51s per cent of the total food
values of the United States and ID per
cent of our breadstusfs. 1t conscripts
fuel, transportation-the little neck OF
the bottle-and man-power.
If prohibition is good for wartime, 1t
is better for pence, for that is longer
time. There is then time to establish
for the nation the good habits formed
in time Of war;"
