II am not in the habit of praising
any material medicine as am an
advocate of New Thought, but some
time ago, | had such a bad attack OF
Liver and Stomach Trouble that /
gave up thinking 1 did not have it,
and took q natural medicine, 'Fruit-a-
tives' or Fruit Liver Tablets.
Most gratifying ayGs the result. 1t
relievedmy livera and stomach trouble,
cleaned up my yellowish complexion
and put new blood in my body.
While L am no bacl1slider from

times when help to nature may be
necessary and if so, l believe that
'Fruit-a-tives' is the highest result of
New Thought in incidence.

did not see.. The front end of the ma
chine was lifted up two feet and one
wheel was smashed but nobody was in
jured.
States attorney E. w. Gibson and
Sheriff Frank Wellman were soon on
the scene and arrested John Wood

dcmned by Acting Judge Clarence
NJ. Miller, who fined Woodbury. 5

T"re may be further developments.

Employment Service

Representatives of the States, ap
pointed by Governors, after three.
day conference with Department of
Labor officials at Washington, voted
unanimously in favor of establish.
ing permanent public employment
system for the United States.
Principles of a bill establishing the
service were agreed upon, and will
be submitted to the next Congress
The bill will provide for continu-
ing the present United States En-
ployment Service. now existing as a
war emergency organization, as a
permanent bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor, and for a system of
State employment offices in close
cooperation with the Federal service
The delegates voted that General
March be requested to give farmers
now IN the military service prefer
ence in discharge from the army in
order to meet any labor shortage 10
agricultural pursuits.
In an address before the confer.
ence, Secretary of Labor Wilson
answered the charge that the Em-
ployment Service had been dis
eliminating in favor of union labor
He said that while he was a labor
union man himself, there is no dis.
linction in law between the union
and non union man, and the De.
partment has made no distinction
between them in the placement of
workers.
About three. fourths of the States
were represented at the conference.

Good Roads

A good country road is always to
be desired and is source of COM
fort and convenience to every trav-
eler. Good roads attract population,
as we'll as good schools and
churches Good roads improve the
value of the property. so that it is
said a farm lying five miles from
market, connected by a bad road, is
of less value than an equally good
farm lying ten miles away from
market connected by good road.
A larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good road than by two
over bad one. Good roads en-.
courage the greater exchange of
products and commodities between
one section and another

Forget the Kaiser

The Belgians have adopted dig
nified attitude in Declining to prose-
cute the Kaiser. The reasons they
give are technical, but there are.
others-perhaps less. abstract, which
all the Allies would do well to pond
er.
The whole case of those belliger-
ents now claiming indemnities from
Germany depends upon the plea
that the whole German people are
to blame for the orgy of devasta-
ton which has cursed the last four
years.
If the Kaiser and his immediate
encourage caused it by exercising
the privilege of autocracy. and the.
mass of the people merely obeyed
orders, then the German populace
can plead good excuse.
But if the Kaiser simply acted as
the spokesman of the German ma
ton in Difference to the demands Of
people enthusiastically in favor
of war, then it is justifiable to soak
'em to the limit ~
AS a matter of cold fact, the lat
ter seems to be very like the truth
The attitude of the German people.
as reflected in the press, whether
socialist or imperialist, has been al
most comically bellicose since 1914
The Kaiser no doubt approved, and
was probably about as bad as the
bunch, but not much worse. He
couldn't have been very much worse
Nearly every male German be-
tween certain ages was, if physical
ly sound, in the German army. The
acts of the German army may there
fore be regarded as the acts of the
German people The two were
coincident And the conduct of the
German army in occupied territory
was beyond criticism 1t was al
most beyond blasphemy.
Soak 'em to the limit, and forget
the Kaiser. 1t matters little, sink
or swim, what happens to STAGE
struct meealomaniac, now rendered
completely harmless.

The Sucker Catch

The United States has many val
liable fisheries. But all the salmon
and cod and mackerel may not
equal the great catch of suckers to
be made this year
The pursuers thereof have their
eyes firmly fastened on the $20,00O.-
100000 which the American people
have invested in Liberty bonds.
They propose to transfer a large
portion of that amount to their own
pockets
Many Liberty bond holders who
know little or nothing about invest
meDts, are being told by smart talk
ers and willy circularizers, that the
Liberty bonds pay too little interest.
They are informed that they can
swap them off for securities sure to
pay very large interest and yet
have their capital perfectly safe.
These golden dreams are enticing a
great macy people.
Those who are not familiar with
Investments should realize two facts:
There is an organized effort OF
dishonest promoters to issue securi-
ties of either worthless or very
doubtful value, and exchange them
for Liberty bonds.
A great many visionary and I'M
practical people, who may be honest
but have never made success OF
anything yet, will try to get hold OF
some of this morey, to put into their
wildcat speculations.
A vast amount of this Liberty
bond money is going to be lost il
these schemes and projects. This
will be a damage to the country
because every dollar of existing
capital is needed for the develop
ment of legitimate enterprises.
Of course it is not true that al
new enterprises are either fraudulent
or dangerous. A great many o.
them are sound. and should have
financial backing so that the coun
try can be developed. But in thu
main these should be left to tn,
bankers and business men accustom
ed to dealing with this class of pro
positions. Small investors with lit
tie financial experience do well t,
hang on to their Liberty bonds.

Plenty Grandparents

Little Miss Josephine Davis of
Windsor is well equipped in respect
to grandparents, but she is just a
little shy of other kin, as the family
tree began to thin out after the mar
rage of her father and mother The
longevity of her grandparents has
resulted in her being able to own
up to 10 of them, leading both from
the paternal and maternal sides
and she probably holds the record
IN Missouri in that respect, if not
IN the United States. The list in
cludes grandparents, great-erand-
parents and great-ereat-gr andpar-
ents, giving the family five living
generations. The oldest living great
great-grandparent is IS years old.
and all of them are hale and hearty.
The fact is true. however. that the
little girl can meyer have an aunt,
uncle or cousin. as her mother and
father are both the only children of
their parents. Other branches of
the family have a much larger
membership and practically all of
them have full supply of aunts,
uncles and cousins. greatly to the
chargrin of Little Josephine.
The War Department has no
authority to make distribution of
war trophies to the many communi.
ties and institutions that have made
requests for them. In default of
action by Congress authorizing their
distribution, the Department has
taken steps to insure the proper
collection and listing of captured
enemy war material, in order to
make distribution in such manner
dS Congress may hereafter prescribe
Captured war material is the prop
erty of the United States and not of
the individual or organization max
ing the capture, and when Congress
passes the necessary legislation. the
way will be opened for communi
ties, schools, etc, to gain possession
of trophies of the American vic
tories in the world war.

New-York tribune., 1919-07-29

tors James A. Reed, of Missouri, Demo
crat, and Medill Mccormick, of Illinois,
Republican, assailed the league Of ma
tions as an instrument of future wars
and bloodshed instead of peace. They
attacked the proposed peace treaty
from many angles and denounced the
Shantung provision as one Of the most
infamous things in history.
Reed, who is fresh from a cam
paign against the league of nations in
the South, employed both invective and
sarcasm as he tore into results of
President Wilson's handiwork Reed
referred to the President as the "high
priest of the millennium" and the
apostle of the brotherhood of man,
and declared he had suggested indi-
rectly that Senators opposed to the
covenant ought to be hanged on scat
folds as high as heaven.
Mccormick assailed the treaty and
the league as an imperial peace perpe-
trating injustices and doing violence
to the principles of democracy. He as
serted that the proposed covenant was
not a safeguard against war. but a
guarantee. of American participation n
the next war, probably against our will
and conscience.
