IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One OF the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
FIVE months penned up within the walls
OF house, factory or office. 1t is the rea.
son for our diminished resistance-that
Is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps oyer-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up Of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-eoated,
tiny, easily taken }, which has stood the
test Of fifty years of approval-namely,
Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for
the Spring Fever, the general rundown
''blues," one should take a course of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis,
covery, now to be had in tablet form in
sixty.cent walls. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of DR.. Plerce's
gives you the power TO force yourself into
action. The brain responds TO the new
blood In circulation. and thus you're ready
to make fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try 1t now! Don't
waltl Today is the day to begin. Gain a
little pep" and laugh and live. Vim and
vitality are the natural out-pouring of
healthy body. 1t does not spring up In a
night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain
the courage that comes with good health.

Compulsory Health Insurance
Declared Class Legislation

$50 to the devil" Scores of similar
illustrations of heartless discrimina-
tion can be drawn.
! The constitution of the state would
not permit such rank injustice; there
| fore the state social insurance COM
mission, using the taxpaers money
to carry on their campaign, is trying
| to wreck the constitution and get it
out of the way by inducing the people
to adopt a cunningly camouilaged
amendment at the November election.
! Making Outcasts of the Sick.
/ The commission claims that its
plan will relieve the sick and poverty
stricken, and then straightway asks
permission, by constitutional amend
ment, to ignore the sick, the unem-
poyed and the down-and- who
need help, but have little political
tribute in the way of votes to offer
in return. That is why DR.. Rooney
of New York says that the scheme
is political, and that the physicians
tof his state are a unit in opposing IT..
The plain dictates of humanity
would suggest that the social nsur-
.ance commission should give atten-
ton to the sick, the halt, the blind,
along with the strong and prosperous,
while the state constitution would
compel the commission so to do.
Therefore the commission and its
friends are using the devices OF soph-
istry to induce the people to scrap
the constitution, befogging the real
; issue by raising a hue and cry about
sickness and distress with which the
scheme has no concern except TO lg-
more and neglect.
Initiative and Referendum.
And in order that the people may
never be able to throw off this op-

is, the right of themselves to make

: rights enjoyed by Califolnians Now
the people are to be deprived OF that
