Any physician will tell you
that Rheumatism is a deep
seated blood disease. The pain
is not the disease itself, but
merely a symptom = natures
warning to you that you have
been attacked. The only intel
ligent treatment, therefore, is
through the blood; treatment
directed toward eliminating the
disease germ from the blood.
For years nearly all the pre-
scriptions used by the medical
professions were those contain
ing iodide of potash or mercur-
ial substances, but in nearly
every case these minerals are
more injurious to the system
than the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment OF
Rheumatism and other blood dis
orders is the fact that it is
purely vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs gath
cred direct from the forests. 1t
contains not a particle of miner
al substance, and acts by driving
all disease germs from the blood
and cleansing it of all impurities.
S. S. S. has been on the market
for fifty years, and every drug
gist has sold it ever since he has
been in business. 1t is sold
under an absolute guarantee
that it is purely vegetable.
Our medical department is
maintained for the benefit of the
afflicted, and if you will write
fully about your case you will be
given complete advice as to the
treatment necessary for your in
dividual case, for which no
charge is made. Address Swift

ity that there are no moro children
under in Poland" II that is set down
as rhetorical exaggeration, consider
the sober statement that for every 100
births in Poland there are 240 deaths.
Nearly all the children die, owing to
the bitter pr.vations to which they are
subjected, and adults die at an ap-
palling rate. Nearly all the food has
been seized and sent to Germany, to
feed the oppressors. AS a sidelight,
consider the fact that $4,000 young
Poles have hcen hanged by the Ger
mans for refusing to enlist as vol
unteers" in the German army
We have heard much about the
Belgian atrocities. We have heard
little about Poland, tho the Poles have
suffered incomparably more than the
Belgians. German rule is making Of a
once prosperous and proud country a
desolation and a grave.
Well, any mother who has nothing
for her little boy to eat may solve the
problem very simply by selling him
to the Germans for $3.50 In German
paper money If it is a girl, she will

Well you remember in the last story
that Billy Bunny. Uncle Lucky and
Mr.. Jack Hare were all listening to the
song of the little yellow canary bird
But when I tell you that somebody
else was listening too you'll get very
curious and as soon as tell you VINO
you'll get very anxious.
But won't keep you waiting. 1t was
Robber Night Hawk and he was looking
right in thru the window because the
shade wasn't pulled way down you
see. And when that little canary bird
stopped singing Uncle Lucky turned
around to get the checker board and,
of course, he saw Robber Mkt Hawks
face against the window pane.
Goodness gracious meebus!" e1-
claimed the old gentleman rabbit and
he dropped the checker board on his
right hind foot and all the checkers
rolled under the chairs except one and
that checker was never found again.for
it dropped down the hole in the corner
of the room, where little Miss Mousie
lived.
Goodness gracious meebus~ cried
Uncle Lucky again and then he walked
over to the window as bravely as you
please and pulled the shade way down
and tied the string to the leg OF a
chair. And after that everybody kept
very quiet, and Billy Bunny held his
breath until he grew blue in his ears,
and then all Of sudden, they heard
noise at the front door. So they all
crept into the hall to listen, and sure

MISS BURLssON. "YEOMAN.

Miss Lucy Burleson has her picture
in the papers she is the daughter of
Postmaster General Burleson and holds
a job as yeoman in the navy drawing
there SAL {. month. The press matter
states that she is setting pace for any
other patriotic American young women
who desire to serve their country dur
ing war time and that she may be
called upon to sail with a warship just
as any yeoman serving on land might
be called
Miss Burlcson should be taken away
from that job a once and set about a
womans work as stepogra pher or some
job like that she is in no more danger
of getting sailing orders than she is to
be ordered 10 lead charge across no
mans land. There are thousands of
young men who rushed to offer them
selves to the navy any one Of whom
deserves and should have that job,
boys that are in action and waiting and
who are neither seeking nor receiving
the attentions of press agent
Neither is she setting a pace for the
American young woman who is doing
woman's work in the war by activity
in Red Cross work, by taking the place
of her brother in civil life and filling
it. On the contrary the American young
woman who is working quietly as so
many Of them are at womens work in
the war and refusing to seek motor
iety is setting the pace. Miss Bureson
might much better be doing such work
with such young women and letting
men take the places that of right be-
long to them in war.
No doubt Miss Burleson is a nice girl
like other American girls and like
other American girls likes TO sec her
picture in the paper as "yeoman.' But
Old Man Burleson ought to put a
quietus on the matter and set Lucy at
woman's task among women doing
desperately needed work that requires
womans hands For instance pressing
surgical supplies with hot iron.

PplYa1E POCKETS AND The WA2.

The Des Moines Register discussing
Guy Empy and his lecture circuit
questions the ethics Of Mr. Empy's
publicity. 1t appears that Empey. wide
ly known as author of lover the Top.
big seller among war books, is work
ing under syndicate which gets ZOO
per appearance The register notes that
the syndicate press bureau in It's
matter suggests that Enpey is engaged
in war work AS this syndicate is
formed to exploit war heroes al
81, 900 per exploitation the Register
objects to a commercial venture taking
on the livery Of war work to serve a
money making purpose.
Agreement with the view OF the Des
Moines paper will be common. Here in
Marshall county we demand that all
ventures which use the name of Red
Cross or other war activities of that
nature shall be at least 9S per cent
profitable to the cause to which it at
taches itself.
1t is pointed out that Mr.. Roosevelt
receives dollar q word for his edi-
toraLs and articles in magazines; but
Mr. Roosevelt and his magazine stuff
are not seeking support and publicity
thru war organizations 1t is not of
record that Roosevelt charges fee for
an address in assistance of any war
work.
Mr. Taft, ex-president, gets $500 it is
said for his speeches.
Rev. Dwight Hills it is stated by the
same paper receives approximately
5000 for each appearance where he re-
cites the atrocities perpetrated upon
Belgium.
However, all who attend the Empey
and Hills lectures go away feeling
that they have had their moneys
worth and both lecturers leave behind
them a stronger determination with
their hearers to fight this war out to a
just conclusion. AS war propagandists
they are worth the money the people
pay them and the story they tell is
one the public is anxious to hear and to
pay for hearing There mi ght be a
difference of opinion as to Mr.. Taft's
$500 fee among those who pay admis-
sion fees and as to Mr.. Roosevelt's
editorials among those who buy maya
zines. There are many who would set
the price and effectiveness Of Mr..
Taft's oratory at much less than Sc a
minute.
There is no objection to lecturers
and their fees. We don't have to bring
them unless we want them and we
don't have to pay our money at the box
office unless we wish.
There is and should be strenuous OBJ
lection and should be prompt interfer-
ence with any private and gainful
proposition that advantages itself by
open or inferential claim to considera.
ton as war activity or that attaches
itself to any Of the war charities.

JUN PIERCE'S "TNFLUENCE."

There seems to be a tendency to
over estimate the political importance
of one James Pierce OF the Home
stead. He's a scrapper of the noise
making sort. Linked with a winning
cause he is e power, but shorn of the
strength of an alliance with strong
mon and strong issues he Yields no
unusual power in Iowa 1t is absurd
to believe that he can put across a
non-partisan league in Iowa. We have
more confidence in the farmers Of
Iowa than TO think that they will
cough UP SIG a piece to become at
tached to an organization whose patri-
otto tendencies are now questioned.
That is, we don't believe that any con-
siderable number Of Iowa farmers VIII
become aligned with the movement, or
that Jim Pierce's sluggish methods can
drive them into it. There are greater
things in the air just now than class
ambitions and they are 50 pronounced
that the patriotic fellow Is going to
think twice before he turns away from
them to consider the lesser things.

PATRDTTC CAMOE1AAGE.
TWintersets NadlsorhAn,1

When the second liberty loan CAM
paign was on. a certain town in 1
neighboring county was advertised far
and near as one that went over the
top" in bond subscriptions. So they
did, but there's more to the story. An
astute banker negotiated the sale of
the bonds while the campaign was
pending and promptly turned the
bonds over to an eastern financial
concern at par. This accounts for
the fact that nearly every business
man in said town bought $1,000 worth
of bonds, and was proclaimed real
patriot for so doing. Was he? Per-
haps the bankers sagacity and
shrewdness were commendable, but
how about the banker and his associ-
ates who urged others to buy bonds
as patriotic duty, while they them
selves practIced deception and made
no sacrifice. What to you say?
Doesn't is SAVIOR just a little of the
old practice Of the influential citizen
accepting promotion stock as a gift,
In order that the grating promoter
might sell to others on the strength Of
