WAR AND MEDICINES
What Many of the Sick and Ailing
Are Learning Nowadays.

So many doctors have gone to war,
the services of comparatively few
are available at nome.
Good proprietary medicines are
more widely used than ever, and
more and more people are finding out
how great their merit is.
At this time, when there is greater
need of economy than ever before,
Hoods Sarsaparilla, thorough
blood purifier, Peptiron, a real pep
sin-nux-iron tonic, and Hood s Pills,
a potent yet mild cathartic, are espe-
cially good. They are liked by all
who use them.
These medicines are remarkably eff
ficient, whether taken in conjunction
or separately. Sold by all druggists.

HUNS WILL Be
BEATEN ONLY
BY SUPERIOR
PREPARATION
Crime Not to Look Things
in the Face Declares
DR.. Clark

THE only way in which we can
beat Germany Is by superior num-
bers, and by superior preparation.
Before this war Is over, and it won't
have to last long to prove it, we
shall have ships, Prov to stern, from
the statue Of Liberty to Calais"
Such was the message of DR.. S. H.
Clark, Of the University of Mime
sofa now Four Minute men agent of
the United States government, who
addressed a large audience in the
Fargo auditorium Friday evening.
His subject was THE Gravity of the
Present Situation"
1T is a crime not to look things
in the face" continued DR.. Clark,
We use the term Of going over the
top to describe out little Liberty
Loan and Red Cross drives. We've
gone over the top we say, and we
go to sleep satisfied. We've given
very little, most Of us. We've made
safe investments, and that is all.
1t is idle to hold a blind and
satisfied faith that all will go well
on the western front. and that
Britain and France will prevail
against the Hun. For none may say
that the German armies may not
break through to Calais or Paris. Nor
should we comfort ourselves with
the vague assurance that the allies
are we'll supplied with reserves.
Never since America entered the
war have we been so in need Of a.
slogan that will enter the very SOUL,
but let it cost every penny and every
drop of blood, They shall not pass"
DR.. Clark declared that if through
our laxness the Kaiser's dream
should come true, we should be no
better than he; and declared that it
was time Americans stopped the as
ininity concerning our ability to win
the war in a few months, and really
strip for the fray with the biggest
enemy on earth today.
DR.. Clark was honor guest of
North Dakota Fotr-Minute men at
luncheon in Moose hall Friday noon,
giving them message from the
government in an address that fol-
lowed.

for the medical corps.
A provision prohibiting the use Of
stop watches or other speeding up
devices in plants where money pro-
vided in the bill is spent, was adopt
ed by a. vote Of So to So. The house
also adopted an amendment by Rep
resentative Anthony Of Kansas for
bidding cost plus" contracts except
in emergencies.
During the debate Representative
Longworth of Ohio and others con-
demned what they called oVeropti-
mistic statements concerning the
number Of American soldiers sent
overseas and the amount Of arms
and equipment provided for them.
Mr.. Longworth referred particularly
to a statement by Senator Lewis OF
Illinois, at Chicago, that there now
are a million American soldiers in
Europe. Representative Caldwell of
New York predicted that the million
mark will be reached by July 4.
