NATURE PROVIDES
THE INGREDIENTS
Argo-P Phosphate, the New Herbal
Remedy, Now Endorsed by
Local People.

Ii the digestive organs are not prop
erly performing the work which ma
ture has assigned to them, then nu-
triton, which is absolutely essential
to the recovery of other diseased
parts, will be lacking and there can be
no permanent relief. When bodily
nutrition is normal, the stomach d.
gests the food, the blood absorbs and
carries the nourishment to the differ
cnt parts of the body causing the var
ious organs to properly perform their
functions.
Nature has provided remedy in the
ingredients of Argo-Phosphate the
new herbal stomach reinedy, which is
now being introduced here. 1t is
purely vegetable and its vitalizing,
corrective and reconstructive qualities
are so pronounced that beneficial re-
suits are noticed from the first day.
That, this is true, it is only necessary
to listen to the statements made daily
by local people who have given Argo-
Phosphate a fair trial and~have been
benefited thereby.
1t is dispensed by every druggist.

An Easy Way

Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco

Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco
Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your Hesh2 Some
thing that does not require dieting
or calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in s-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at your drug
gist's. They are pleasant to take, per-
fectly harmless and cause no restric-
tions of habit or eating, and reduce
the flesh, little by little, until you are
down to the number of pounds you
wish to weigh. Too much flesh is un-
desirable, as most quite stout people
will readily admit, and it detracts from
ones good appearance; makes one
clumsy and short of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at your druggists. Tassco

recommended by physicians and are
guaranteed to be perfectly harmless.
Refuse substitutes. if You can not

vocal than other nations; it is full of
astonishingly individual and eccentric
energies which make the foreigner think
US divided. But the mass is tenacious
IN the highest degree, and, though con-
fusedly, the mass does understand that
this war is for this island (more than
for any other part Of Europe) a mat
ter of life and death.
Finally, we are consistently secure
IN the fibre of our race. Tie physical
courage and the grip of tradition Of
which we boast have been amply justi-
fed in this war, and will continue to be
justified in the future"
The Italian answer would be somewhat
as follows:
THE nation which we govern has
been recently organized as one whole.
There is considerable differentiation
between the north and the south The
various provinces are also differentiated
among themselves very highly. Every
elderly man still living among US re-
members the time when Italy was not
nation. The national tie might, there
fore, be thought weaker in every way,
and In many ways it is weaker, than
among our allies.
Further, we are not among the origi-
nal belligerents of the war. At it's out
set it did not directly menace our state,
and could not have affected the lives Of
our individual citizens at all, though we
took up arms against Austria. which
holds subject certain not very large
numbers of Italians and prevents the
Adriatlc from being, as it should be, an
Italian sea. Yet we were slow to de-
clare war against Germany. Like every
other belligerent, we had no conception
on entering the war of how prolonged
a struggle it would be or how intense
would be the strain before it's close.
But three things, each of great mo-
ment, will nerve our population to the
end-hrst, the common pride, which
even in a newly united state will not
accept defeat, and which all civilization
feels against the barbarian; next, the
determination that the invader now
holding more italian soil even than he
did at the inception of our war, shall
be driven out; and, lastly, the knowl-
edge, confused indeed in the mass, but
very clearly present in the souls of those
who direct that if that party with
which modern Italy has thrown her lot
fails to achieve victory, the Italian pop
ulation is ruined and the italian ma
tional ideal, which was the inspiration
Of the nineteenth century, is lost"
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10
Nothing Sacred
To French Mind

The French reply can be put much more
shortly and simply, and it really is the
core of the wnole matter
I'VE have as a government nothing
traditional or sacred about us. The
parliamentary regime in France is only
an experiment, and not very popular
one at that. It arose in defeat, and it
will certainly be modified after this
great struggle; but we are members OF
a completely united nation, older as a
nation than any European nation except
Ireland, and our people feel this war to
be their war as does no other belligerent
people.
I'VE took the whole Drunt of the first
shock. We have suffered enormous
losses. Invasion and ruin are still upon
our soil. 1t was our military genius
which checked the onslaught, with tie
fighting odds Of five to eight, at the
Marine. 1t was we who prevented the
initial and easy victory of Germany
No internal differences count among us
compared with our determination that
the power which has attempted our de-
S1i uNeIoll ny Lue FlitSI means, by the
violation Of treaties, and by usages un-
heard Of among civilized men, shall be
destroyed. In this determination. with
which the whole nation is filled, and of
which we chance parliamentarans are
merely the exponents, is rooted our
certitude Of victory. But we have suf-
fered far more than any Of our allies,
precisely because we took the first shock
We are compelled, therefore, to trust
in the reinforcement they will afford US.
We will sacrifice every private differ
ence between ourselves and those allies
to the supreme common end.
after victory there will be great
domestic changes among US. They may
be violent. They will certainly be fun
damental. But the nation will not at
tempt them until victory is achieved"
There, l take it, is fair picture of tho
and opposed views on civilian
morale within thu belligerent powers
which each, could it speak by its existing
would disclose.
The balance, the power to hold on, seems
to me--qute apart from material consid-
erations-to lie with the soul of the West:
that is, with the ancient roots of Eurepe
rather than with the Central Powers.
