SOME OF THE THINGS RATIFlcA.
TON WILL DO.

TON WILL DO.
1t will harmonic the state and fed
eral policy of government in dealing
with the liquor problem.
The S2,O00,0O0,O00 spent for liquor,
which comes from the earnings of the
mechanics, labCrers, farmers and
tradespeople will be spent for some
thing less Misunderstanding which
will give larger return per capita.
All the existing liquor capital of the
nation will be at work along honest
wealth-producing lines.
Labor will be benefited because the
capital now invested in liquor indus
tries will, when employed in construc-
tive manufactures, employ four times
as many men and distribute a proper
tiOnately greater amount in wages.
There will be no confiscation Of
property because no property will be
taken from anyone. The law will sim
ply require that man use his proper
ty in fashion to do more good to the
community and to himself-Ratifica

LIQUOR TRAFFIC. A MENACE TO

LIQUOR TRAFFIC A MENACE TO
YOUTH.
Judge w. @. Mentzer of the First ju.
dicial district Of the state Of Wyo-
ming, gives the following as his rea.
sons for believing in prohibition:
During over 81 years. experience
since began the practice OF
law, have constantly been in a po-
sition to observe, and have observed,
the cruel and cursed consequences Of
drunkenness. / have seen boys ana
young men Of good families ruined by
liquor, charged with and convicted
of serious criminal offenses, and
lodged in a felon's cell, their fam
lilies disgraced and pauperized Ihave
seen them rotten with loathsome dis.
ease and insane as the result Of drunk
enness.
During my six years on the bench
as Judge Of the district court Of the
First district Of Wyoming, in the dis.
change Of my duty have been com
PEELED to send approximately 300 men
to the penitentiary jail or refOrma-
tory for criminal offenses committed
By them against the laws Of the state
of Wyoming, and know that 80 per
cent Of these crimes were caused by
drunkenness.
During the same period of time there

more divorces, and l know that fully

slams Boat Life.

The boat life of Siam is extremely
interesting. Business and pleasure,
health and happiness, all center in
the river or its branches. A boat and
a paddle are almost as natural and in
dispensable possessions to a Siamese
as hts arms or legs. He has no no.
ton Of travelling any distance except
by boat, and the idea of living in a
place inaccessible by water generally
strikes him as absurd. Three weeks
to come down stream with full car
90, a week to dispose of it and in
dulge in the gayeties of the capital,
four or five months to get back with
the emptied boat, and the rest Of the
year for farm work at home such is
the program of many a Siamese fam.
'ly.

Acid Stomach Ruins
Health Of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of In
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and, downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced 1t know SO well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
If you don't get rid of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for it is a
well known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in
an acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day-to get rid
of your stomach miseries. Take
EATONIC-the wonderful remedy
that absorbs the excess acid from the
stomach and brings INSTANT relief.
You simply have no idea how much
better, Stronger and brighter you feel
at once. 1t drives out all the gas and
bloat, puts an immediate stop to belch-
Ing and heartburn, ends stomach suf-

Portable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life
has lost all its joys. Remember, just
as acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid
stomach ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's ID, just like
a bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mouthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep--the pow
er and will to do things and get re-
suits, and your stomach misery will be
gone.
Take our advice. Get big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today.
1t costs so little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

Kindly and HospitabIe.

From this virile race, which scorned
to bend the knee to Harald, the mod
ern Icelanders are descended. They
are kindly and hospitable to the
stranger within their borders, while
their homes are simple and quaint.
Some are old dwelling places Of turf
and stone with an inclosed moving
patch, the sheep folds, the byre and
small garden for vegetables. The
spoken tongue of Iceland is no longer
heard in the Morse valleys, but in the
arctic isolation Of their island home
the Icelanders have retained it in
it's ancient purity; and sagas and ira
ditions of the remote past are as
familiar as household words to the in.
habitants.
The government, down to the grant
ing of autonomy, had at its head a
minister, appointed by the king of
Denmark, resident at Reykjaylk, and
responsible to the althing, or the
parliament of the colony, for all acts
concerning Iceland. The althing con.
sisted of SO members, of whom 30
were elected by the people and six by
the crown. 1t was elected every two
years, and was divided into two cham
bers, of which the upper was composed
Of six elected and six appointed mem
bers, while the lower consisted Of "a
elected members. The king Of Den
mark had the nominal right of veto.
In 1911 suffrage was extended to
women and servants, and the right is
now possessed by all competent adj
ults. The revenue of the country is
derived almost entirely from customs.
Elementary education is well provided
for, and the number of illiterates is
remarkably small.

Scotland and Ireland were constantly
on the alert in case Of depredatiOns
and sudden descents. The distant
lava peaks of Farce ultimately became
the homes of those who dared not
return to Norway, until at last one Of
their number, the Viking Naddodd, left
the isles and was driven by contrary
winds in sight of the snow-capped
peaks of Iceland. A landing was eff
fected, but Naddodd found no trace Of
human beings. Christening the newly
discovered country Snaeland, he i'm
mediately took his departure. Four
years later, in 1854, came Gardar, a
Swedish Viking, who was the first to
Grcumnavigate the island He re-
christened the land Gardar's Holm.
Then came Floki, who found his way
to the island by the aid of ravens, and
who gave to the then inhospitable
land the present chilly name of Ice
land.
Reykjavik, the smoking Greek"
now the principal town, was recog-
nized from the earliest times as an
unfortunate location for a settlement
and a capital. The original colony
was settled here by Ingolfr Arnarson,
a lhgh-born Jarl of Norway, who left
his native land in the company of his
foster-brother, Hjorleifr, ten years
after the descent of Floki upon its
shores.
Within go years from the coming
Of Ingolfr, the population of the island
is said to have numbered over 10000.
SO much land, however, had been taken
by the first corners that an agreement
was made by which all late Corners
could take only as much land as they
could encompass by FIRE in day. This
was done by building a huge fire in
the center of the lot, whence the claim
ant travelled In a circle as far away
from the fire as he could see the
smoke.
