STATEMENT, SAYS HE OBJ
TANNED WONDERFUL
RESULTS FROM
DRECO

"In relieving kidney, liver trouble
and constipation, I have obtained
wonderful relief in a very short time
by taking the new root and herb med.
icine-Dreco.
"Before taking Dreco, my back at
times felt like it would break, and ]
often had to get up four or five times
during the might to relieve my blad'
der. My liver was sluggish, and ]
frequently had dizzy spells, headaches
and a vile taste in my mouth. Con-
stipation was a daily annoyance. My
nerves were shaky and my sleep brok,
81 am happy to say that there is a
marked improvement in my troubles
since taking Dreco. My kidneys are
very much better. sleep sound and
the constipation is relieved. No doubt
my liver is acting well, for the dizzi,
ness and headaches have ceased.
heartily endorse Dreco to those who
suffer as I did.
Dreco is made from juices and ex.
tracts of many medicinal herb plants
which act on the vital organs in
pleasant anid prompt manner:
Dreco is highly recommended in
Abbeville by P. B. Speed. ),

THE ABOUNDING PROSPERITY
UPON WHICH THE COUNTRY
HAS ENTERED.

+ For months the United States Gov
errment urged all business men to
realize that they could "selP pros
perity to the country by big, bold
advertising. 1t urged everybody to
advertise heavily; if they were al
already advertising, to increase their
expenditures and broaden their pub
licity campaign; and if they were not
advertising, to begin an aggressive
campaign.
Never was better business advice
given, never was it more fully accept
ed. and never was there a greater
demonstration of the wisdom of such
advice. Business men everywhere
commenced to advertise more freely
and on broader lines. Many men
who had never done much advertising
saw a new light and began to adver-
tise, while oh-time advertisers made
larger appropriations and gave great
er heed to the almost IInitless power
of publicity.
The result is everywhere in evil
Gonce The confidence displayed by
heavy advertising begat confidence.
The optimism Of advertisers created
optimism, and the pessimists skunk
back into their holes and pulled the
holes in after them-permanently
buried face downward, as is the just
desert of every man who becomes a
pessimist in America
Many men who at first did not see
lust how advertising could help their
individual business, nevertheless they,
too, if broad in vision and patriotic
in spirit, began to advertise, follow
ing the Governments advice, and
soon they felt pride in being num-
bered among the business leaders
who were doing their part toward
prosperity to the country and thus
helpingi to destroy the seeds of Boil
shevism, which fructify in poverty
soils and which die in soils where
prosperity is fourishing.
Largely as an outcome of this
splendid work, vigorously conducted
by the Secretary of Labor and to
whom great credit is due, everyone
now realizes that the country has
taken the right road at the forks, and
instead of travelling toward the land
of poverty and anarchy, is headed
straight on the road to the land
of abounding national prosperity,
and this glorious change is largely
due to the power of advertising,
which created an air of optimism,
and as a nation thinketh in its heart,
so is it. The nation is now thinking
in terms of publicity. created pros
perity, and it realizes as never be-
fore that advertising is the great
power which has saved US from stag
nation and unemployment, and that
advertising, big, broad and inte!li-
gent advertising, will keep the nation
travelling safely on the road of pros
perity.
Advertising is, therefore, as so
strongly presented by the Federal
Government, a work of patriotism as
we'll as of enlightened selfish business
interest.

SHOPMEN
SEVER THEIR
CONNECTIONS

An echo Of the recent shopmen's strike
vas heard in dispatches today when il
Was learned that 5000 shopmen of the
L. j & L. railroad. which includes near
ly 500 workmen at the Kirk yard in
Gary. had voted 10 break with the Chi
cago district council and to be guided
in the future by the grand lodge organi-
zation.
The [. J. L. shopmen charge the
officials of the Chicago council with
merely seeking recognition for them
selves and failing to accomplish their
purpose in the strike Of a week ago.
BY vote of 500 majority. they declared
themselves in favor of a nationwide
rail strike and sent their request TO the
grand lodge officials in Washington.
That the shopmen were not content
when they went back to work without
hrst getting their demands, was evident
last week and the greater majority of
the men were ready TO hold out at all
costs. 1t was only when ordered through
the grand lodge officials that they de-
cided TO go back 20 work for the time
being.
The Gary works and its subsidiary
plants which were practically idle dur
ing the walkout are operating and by
the first of next week viii be working
a normal capacity again. Practically
all OF the men who were laid of have
been notified to come back.
The last OF the blast furnaces an!
the open hear;hs which were down dur
ing the strike are being put in operation
again and according to information. the
big rail mill is the only department that
is not working up to the standard.
With the mills planning to operate
full capacity. it was the opinion on the
streets today that tho steel corporation
60 not expect strike in tho near future
or they would not have commenced oper-
alton until the iron and steel workers
demands had boeH settled From this
fact it is taken that the steel company
has practically patched UP matters.
