We can manufacture poisons within
our own bodies which are as deadly as a
snakes venom.
The liver acts as guard over our we'll
being. sitting out the cinders and ashes
from the general circulation. A blockade
i'm the intestines piles heavy burden
upon the liver. Ii the intestinse are
choked or clogged up, the circulation of
the blood becomes poisoned, the system
becomes loaded with toxic waste, and we
suffer from auto-intoxication or ptomaine
poisoning. Something is wrong with the
liver, and we suffer from headache, yell
low coated tongue, bad taste III mouth,
nausea, or gas, acid dyspepsia, languor,
debility, skin OF eyes yellow, the water is
scant and high colored, containing brick
dust" deposits and bile pigments. AT
such times one should drink plenty of
water between meals, and a pint of hot
water before breakfast, and occasionally
take a pleasant laxative. Such a one is
made of the May apple, leaves of aloe
and root of jalap, first extracted and put
in ready to-use form by DIR. Pierce near
ly fifty years ago. and sold by druggists
as DIR. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.

the greatest crisis in our national his
tory. When Uncle Sam turned inland
for American ingenuity he knew exactly
what he was about, for this is not the
first time that he has gone recruiting for
! brains in that quarter Read the names
of American sailors in our navy as they
are printed in the news from day to day
and you will see that they are men from
| inland states as often as from the sea
boards. Years ago when our anguish
ishing mercantile marine made il difficult
to recruit sailors for the navy in the sea
board states which had manned our ships
in past generations, Uncle Sam went to
the corn belt and the sagebrush for
Americans. trained them at fresh water
naval stations and made them blue
water sailors before they had even ever
seen salt water. The spirit and achieve
ments of the American navy were re-
stored by this influx OF American char
acter, and since the declaration OF war
10 months ago, the great increase of our
navy from $4,000 to nearly 100000 has
been drawn largely from the inland
states. And mere numbers do not tell
the story. If sailors have increased 400
per cent, American ability and spirit
have increased by at least 1000 per cent
Shipbuilding is key task in the war
which we are now waging under SO many
difficulties of distance and lack of prep
aration. 1t is a supreme task, test of
Americanism upon which every other
war activity hangs. Germany, in her
boastful pride, has said that Americans
cannot build ships. Germany knew that
there were not enough men in America
who had worked on ships to make one
tenth the vessels needed to get our men
on the western front where they can de-
liver an American blow. Germany's pol
icy of torpedoing merchant ships and
women and children was based
on the cold calculation that we would
not make more ships fast enough-as
well as upon the assumption that mer
camille shipbuilding was no longer an
American industry. The only answer to
hat sort of challenge, of course, was to
all into our new shipyards the very best
American ability and spirit.
SO this is why Uncle Sam has gone
'ecruiting shipworkers in the corn belt
md sagehrush. The shipyards are being
manned not only by Americans, but by
elbows who have been sent for. Uncle
sam has frankly told them that they
ire wanted, and they have volunteered

CONTRAST IN TREATMENT
Afforded By Germans in Udine, Italy,
and British in Jerusalem.

London, Feb. 25.--Contrasted with the
German proclamation threatening pun
ishment upon the women and children of
Udine, Italy, if they failed to work in
the fields for 10 hours every day, under
German domination, the order issued by
the British commander to the people of
Jerusalem after the capture of that city,
shows the different manner in which the
entente and the central powers wage
war. The British order reads:
ut is my desire that every person
should pursue his lawful business with
out fear OF interruption. Furthermore,
since your city is regarded with affection
by three of the great religions of man
kind. and its soil has been consecrated
by the prayers and pilgrimages of the de-
won't for many centuries, therefore be 1T

place of prayer, will be main

listing customs and beliefs of those to

NERVOUS PEOPLE
ARE INEFFICIENT
Their Condition Is an Economic
Loss and Should Be Corrected
Neurasthenia Is an American Disease
That Robs the Country of Much
Effective Service

In these wa- times we all want to keep
ourselves at the highest point of efficien-
cy to be able to do our share in the many
demands for service that are made on all.
The high tension of American life is
productive of form of nervous debility
called neurasthenia, which is character
lied by worry, irritability, oversensitive
ness and severe headache. 1t means that
the patient has lost the power to recov-
er and store up energy. The condition
will grow worse if not corrected
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non alcoholic
tonic As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood, the treatment
must be directed toward building up the
blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills act di-
reetly on the blood and have proved of
the greatest benefit in many cases of
neurashthena.

Settled Amicably

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb 14-Following
a stormy three days session which
threatened to split the G. o. p Re
publican national committee, dele
gates and politicians were today leav-
ing for their homes.
Harmony was restored in the ranks
by the election of Will H. Hays of
Sullivan, Ind, following withdrawal
of his most formidable opponent,
John T. Adams, of Iowa.
Hays was the candidate of the pro-
gressive wing of the G.. O. p. headed
by the Perkins-Dupont clique.
Adams withdrawal was with the
proviso that the powers of George w
Perkins, former financial hacker of
the Progressive party, be curtailed by
the abandonment of the campaign
committee of which Perkins is men,
Der and the woman's advisory COM
mittee The committee acceded to
these demands by tabling resolutions
continuing the committees and adopt
ing rules providing for the election
of the executive committee by the ma
tional committee, thus taking all ap-
pointive powers away from the new
chairman.
Despite this, political observers to-
day said the election of Hays was {
complete victory for the Perkins-Du
pont-Penrose faction. And it means

WASHINGTON, Feb. Startling
statements in connection with the
governments war activities were re-
vealed this afternoon when the house
appropriations committee, after re-
porting the billion dollar urgent defi-
cheney bill, made public the records
Of its hearings on the measure.
Here are some of the striking state
ments made by high government off
cials.
Allen property custodian Palmer
said that in ITS operation of business
enterprises owned by aliens the gov
ernment is piling up huge profits to
be turned over to Germans at the end
Of the war.
Food Administrator Hoover limited
that food tickets may be issued to
compel conservation, if no other way
is found to halt increasing food con-
sumption.
Secretary of State Lansing said the
American dollar is worth only rs
cents in many European, South Am
erican and Oriental countries.
In describing the activities of his
organization Palmer said he was
making lead pencils in New Jersey,
cutting lumber in Florida, brewing
! beer in Chicago, making chocolate in
Connecticut, selling diamonds in New
York and doing every kind of bust
ness in which the Germans were en-
gagged in this country"
Hoover said that through controll-
ing the purchases of the allies in this
country he had found a means OF
practically fixing prices on pork, al
though he had not been given author
ity to do so in any legislation passed
by congress. This was accomplished
he said, by informing dealers that i
hprices were held at a designated lev
el the allies would buy all the sur
plus, but if not they would buy onl,
enough to meet their requirements.
Nevertheless" Hoover said "w

lies with all of any practical com
modify they asked.
N His reference to food tickets cam
when he said that the consumptio
of meat sowing to the increased stan
dard of living, due to the increase

and consumption of edible fats ha
