GIVE THE STOMACH
 A CHANGE TO WORK

We can't expect the stomach to act normally if the natural avenues o1 elimination are blocked so it cannot dispose of it's refuse. When the bowels are constipated the stomach IS called upon for work beyond its ca pacity and the result is bloat, belch- ing, headache, and discomfort gener- ally, and, unless the condition IS promptly relieved, serious illness.
 An effective remedy for constlpa- tion is sold in drug stores under the name of pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsln. It is combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in gentle, natural manner, without gripping or other pain or dls- comfort. affording speedy relief. Get a bottle of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep sin from your druggist and have it in the house when you need it; it costs only fifty cents and is the ideal family remedy, mild enough for children and old people, yet sufficiently powerful for the strongest constitution. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to pr. W. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois

WHAT IS GOUT-
 AND RHEUMATISM |?
By DH. N. c. LUCAS.

accumulation in the blood, is the cause of gout. And Prof. H. Strauss, attributes gouty attack to the heap ing up of poisons where there is an abundance of uric acid which is pre- cipitated in the joints and sheaths, setting up inflammation. Before the attack of gout or rheumatism there is sometimes a series of disturbances, such as headache, or what is thought to be neuralgia, or rheumatic con ditions such as lumbago, pain in the Esck of the neck, or sciatica. As Prof. Strauss says, cThe excretion of uric acid we are able to effect by exciting diuresis." Drink copiously sf water, six or eight glasses per day, hot water before meals, and obtain Anuric tablets, double strength, for 60 cts, at the nearest drug store and take them three times day. It is just as im- portant to keep the kidneys active, to throw out the uric acid poisons as it is to stimulate the liver to greater action to throw out the poisons which accumulate to an excessive amount in the bowel. Throw out this waste material by occasionally taking a pill made up of May apple, aloes and
 ialap, and sold by druggists at 25c., as
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the
 past 50 years, and you will escape
 nine-tenths of the ills in life.

found them alive to the new concep- tion of world democracy. But out side this district I found our German Socialists not internationally minded
 In South Germany, electing Nun chen as my base, made many jour neys to interior cities and towns, and found those whom I interviewed vio- lently against the war and the gov ernment. But after coming into clos CT contact with them, I learned that a great number of those who are vio- 1ently against the government are moved from quite different motives.
 The majority of the South Ger mans violent criticism of the gov ernment is not based on the fact that they have been led to this bloody war by their rulers, but because they be- lieve that the government has chosen 1 a wrong time to go into the war. l was grievously surprised to listen in South Germany to criticism of the government based on this most inn moral idea. A Socialist friend at | Wurtemberg complained bitterly that Germany had not yet awakened to a moral sense of shame.
 Peace Meetings and Peace Meetings I have attended over fifty peace meetings, and felt shamed and sur prised that the speakers were the most immoral materialists to whom IT had ever listened. Not once did hear during these peace gatherings a speaker denounce the continuation of the war from a human standpoint. l found the speakers unforgivably ig- norant, arrogantly ignorant. I heard peace speakers denounce the govern ment for not stopping the war, now that the Fatherland was at the height | of its conquest. I was astounded to witness such callous ignorance when they attempted to convince, with ob- vious sincerity, their hearers that ii was in Germany's power to stop the war at will.
 I found a terrible peace meeting
 confusion everywhere I visited in Germany. Since the last two years and a half there have been genuine, sincere and moral peace movements in Germany, melted by Liberals and Socialists. Whenever such move ments assume serious proportions, the government immediately sends its i false agents-all experienced public speakers-and everywhere in the neiGhoorhood there are peace meet ings, until the real peace-seekins au-
 diences become sick at their stomach
 and return to their homes ln ter rible mental confusion. I attended
 several such false peace meetings al

A new COMMANDMENT.
Thou Shalt Not Gamble, Nor
Permit 1t.

The Board of National Defense 70,
Iberia Parish, through DR.. II. A
King, has recommended TO the boards
of Aldermen of the towns of this par
ish, and to the Police Jury of this par
ish che adoption of anti.gambling or
dinances for every branch of civil gov
eminent coming nnder their jurisdic'
tion. 1t is recommended hat all such
ordinances shall have cast into their
very souls a spirit of earnestnes
sincerity, as all such ordinances are
to be cha ssified az 'live wires
This is not a periodic moral wave
sweeping this way, but a cool and de
liberate effort to Inaugurate such
economies as will be a worthy wal
for such times as we are ex'
periencing. 1t ia claimed that men
will gamble, no matter how earnestly
1t May be desired to suppress It. This
may be true, but il seems to be fore
Swallowed that all such ordinances
will be designed to make that fern oil

pensive and unsatisfactory IN its re
suits to its votaries.

by the several army drafts of late tor

Our brightest and most vigorous
