Better Than Pills.

The question has peen asxed-in
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more gentle and mild in their
action and more reliable. Then they
cleanse and invigora.e the stomach
and leave the bowels in a natural con
dition, while pills are more harsh in
effect and their use is otter followed
by constipation. adv

An Appeal From the Worker
To The Farmer

flooding the State with false statements to
prejudice you against our cause. lhey are
irving to force so-caled temperance leglsla-
ton upon us, and upon you. We hold to the
theory that you cannot make men good by
law. but we know that, by education and the
DEVELOPMENT Of strong moral character, IN
temperance can be eliminated. lhere Is
practically no intemperance among the organ
lied workers, because they are men OF prac-
ticaI education, who know how to CONDUCT
themselves without the restraining influence
of law.
The prohibitionists have held a club over
our Government to force it to adopt their
nroOram. They have interfered with the
Government in the prosecution OF the war
They have set themselves up as the autocrats
of America. when your sons and ours are
6ohtinq to destroy autocratlc power. Inc
editor Of a dry publication recently wrote:
THANK God for the drought that forced
the President to close the breweries'
That is the spirit of the dry autocracy
which is willing to see the farmer ruined the
ya0e-earner thrown out Of employment the
safety of our nation imperiled, and the war
a failure, to force its program upon the
American people.
Do YOU propose to be governed by the men
,a,, aiected to Office or by a body OF self
constituted autocratsP
You are playing with FIRE when you adopt
a,oh;b;t;on' Look at Russia-the only
Euronean nation that adopted prohibition
as war measure. Get the Congressional
Record Of October 5, l9l7-ask your Con-
Gresham for it-and turn to page o5o9. there
You will find this quotation from a speech by
R;cbmond Pearson Hobson, author OF the
National Prohibition Amendment. and re-
oarded as one Of the great dry leaders:

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE GERMAN LIES NAILED BY ST. LOUIS
 REPUBLIC

Kaiserite Busy in America
 Spreading German Propa-
 ganda.
 Washington. D. C.,-German propagandists have been busy since the entry of the United States into the war. Falsehoods of every character have been spread over every section of the country with the idea of abusing the confidence of the American people, So persistent ..has been the circulation of these careful ly moulded pro. German lies that an official exposure of them has been issued as a pamphlet en. titled "The Kaiserite in America" by the Committee on Public In formation, 8 Jackson Place. Washington. D. c. A copy of this pamphlet may be had free if inquiry will be directed to the Committee.
 German Counterfeiting.
 Tales have been current about interned German prisoners being fed five meals a day, about Red Cross Supplies being sold to shopkeepers by dishonest off, cials, by criminal waste of food at training camps and many other like falsehoods either de- signed to discourage volunteer Red Cross Work and the loyal efforts of housekeepers to save or calculated to create a trouble some distrust of the Government.
 The circulation of these stories Is often due to the folly of a citi- zen who wishes to appear to have inside information" and who either innocently or inten tionally starts a lie that rapidly grows worse as it spreads. A collection of such lies and their refutation has been made by the St. Louis Republic. A hundred of them are included in The Kaiserite in America.
