NO REASON FOR 1T
When viroqua Citizens Show a Way

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tortures
of an aching back, the annoyance of
urinary disorders, the pains and dan
gers of kidney ills will fail to heed
the words of a neighbor who has
found relief. Read what Viroqua
citizen says:
Mrs. Ebert Medium, N. Washington
ST., Viroqua. says: give years ago
| suffered from the effects of kidney
trouble. l tired easily, had bad pains
in the back of my head and at times
could hardly turn my head one way
or the other My kidneys acted ir-
regularly and caused me much an
noyance making me so nervous /
could hardly sit still. | used box
of Doan's Kidney Pills and felt better
right away. One box gave me great
relief and put me on my feet. GER
tainly have great faith in Doan's Kid
ney Pills"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Medium had. Foster Milburn

Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract a second cold
before You have recovered from the
first one, anu there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three
weeks later on.

we're cold and coughed dreadfully for

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1919

Congressman-elect Victor L. Berger
of Milwaukee, and four other social
ist leaders, who were recently convict
ed in Chicago, guilty of conspiracy to
violate the espionage law, were, on
Thursday, sentenced by Judge Lands,
to twenty years each in Fort Leaven-
worth federal prison. Another warn
ing to men who come to this great
country of ours in the belief that it
is a free asylum to breed contempt
Of constituted law and order. In the
very face of warld war Berger and
his cohorts spread their propaganda
of treason to government in the time
of dire calamity His case is the
more aggravated because he is a man
of education and refinement.

December IS, 1881
Dear Folks: We arrived at our destination
and / never remember of taking such long
walk in my life before. Some days We didn't
go over fifteen miles but in a while it
was all day, and one day we hiked IS miles.
Don't know how far il in all. but must
have been over 2JO miles. We crossed the
Mooselle River into Germany December first
and crossed the Rhine above CO5lenz the
thirteenth. We are billeted at n nice little
town of abOuti SEQ inhabitants, twenty miles
north OF COblentz. Very nice scenery the
way from the river up here. Lots of summer
hotels and they say it a great summer
resort before the war. We are billeted in a
theatre and have a real bed to sleep in and it
seems mighty nice, well satisfied TO
stay here until shipped back to the
United States and home, which all hope
may be
Things in Germany about the as
in France only don't show the effects of the
like France. The people don't badly
at all; wouldn't know we we're IN enemy ter
ritOry. Heve received a lot of mail since we
arrived here and arr glad you escaped the flu
afr. Tell Rhodes Fred is all o. X. / Just
talked with him this evening and he said he
is writing as Otter as usual but the letters
might be delayed, and for them not TO worry.
Havnt heard seen any signs of going home
yet but think we will be back by spring at
least. The bunch of well.

HOT ON THE TRAIL OF TIE GERMANS

November ISL
Dear Folks: II is some time since / wrote
TO you but il has been pretty hard to do any
thing of that sort lately. We are now in Lux
emburg, following the Germans to the Rhine.
We at present only four kiometers from
the German border. We still have about sixty
or eighty kilometers to get TO ctr destination.
Then l hope--hone again.
/ right there TO the wind up of this
affair, and maybe everyone wasn't happy.
About week after started following them
up and we have covered about one hundred
twenty kilOmeters already. We are resting
here at Lellig, but will soon be moving again.
Luxembourg is a very pretty place but every
thing is very high priced. l bought some milk
and it cost a mark quart. Eggs a mark
apiece. We had pretty good Thanksgiving
dinner today. Beef, spuds, bread, coffee, and
jam, which is CONSIDERABLY more than we
have had lately. We've had bareback and corn
eGbeef NEST of the time. This ought to be a
real Thanksgiving in the States. l know it is
over here.
