DO You Enjoy Life?

A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the bilious and dispeptic are despond-
ent, do not enjoy their meals and feel
miserable good share Of the time.
This i'll feeling is nearly always un-
necessary. A few doses Of Chamber
lain's Tablets to tone up the stomach,
improve the digestion and regulate
the bowels is all that Is needed. Try it.

Before The Advent
Of Woman's GIadness
Women Who Know Take Precau-
lions Against Suffering.

Before the arrival of the stork.
women for over half a century have
learned the wisdom of giving nature
a helping hand. Nausea, nervous
ness. bearing down and stretching
pains in the abdomen and muscles
are entirely avoided by the use of
Mothers Friend. according to the
testimony OF thousands of mothers
who have used this time hOnOred
remedy.
Mothers Friend lubricates the
fine network of nerves beneath the
skin. and by regular use during the
period the muscles are made and
kept soft and elastic. They can
then expand gently and easily
when baby is born and pain and
danger is naturally avoided.
Mothers Friend is a preparation
of penetrating oils and other me-
dicinal agents prepared especially
for eXpeCtant mothers. 1t is for ex-
ternal use, is absolutely safe and
should be used regularly during
the entire period before baby comes.
Write to the Bradfield Regulator
Company. Dept a, Lamar Building,
Atlanta. Georgia. for an interest
ing Motherhood Book, and obtain a
bottle of Mothers Friend from the
druggist. You will find it the great
est kind of help.-Adv.

ADS PLEAD FOR
IRISH FREEDOM
Printer S Ink Carries De
Valera S Message to Mil
lions He Cant Address.

The physical impossibility of Presi-
dent de Valera, OF the Republic Of
Ireland. being able to respond to all
the invitations he has received to ad-
dress gatherings fayoring Erin's in
dependence, has caused the big adver-
tising campaign by supporters of the
Irish cause that has begun with a
series of full-page advertisements in
Washington newspapers.
The advertisements are a direct ap-
peal to the people of America asking
a square deal to the only small nation
which, by the proposed league of ma
tions covenant, is to be denied the
right of determination said
Director Daniel T. O'Connell. of the
Irish National Bureau, last night.
In his recent trip from New York
to California and return President de
Valera made seventeen addresses and
spoke to more than 800, 900 people. The
addresses of Ireland's leader are di-
rect pleas to the American people to
save Ireland from the iron-riveted
bondage to England which will follow
il articles ten and eleven OF the peace
treaty are ratified. The heart of Amer
lea has been touched as it never pre-
viously has been by any speaker plead
ing the cause of freedom.
Every State Touched.
The extraordinary outpourings OF
men and women, irrespective OF race
or relisious affiliations, and President
de Valera's enunciation Of the prin-
Ciples upon which the Republic of Ire
land rests its case. have sent echoes
into every State and Territory of the
Union, and into every city and town.
The New York national headQuart-
ers OF the Friends Of Irish Freedom
has been flooded with telegraphic, let
ter and personally urged invitations
for President de Valera to make ad-
dresses. They come from all sections
principally from the South, where Ire
lands duly elected Chief Executive
has not yet been heard. 1t is not
humanity possible, however, for one
man in brief period to cover the
entire country, consequently the
Friends of Irish Freedom have de-
termined to tighten his labor by utilIz-
ing the advertising space of some OF
the leading daily newspapers of Amer
lea. The advertisements appearing in
Washington newspapers will appear
also in other daily papers of the
larger Centers of population. to the
end that all the people will hear Ire
lands voice asking that her republic
not be denied a place among the ma
tions of the world"

AMERICA CAN'T
HELP RUSSIANS
Await Reports from Siberia
to Determine Policy To-
ward Kolchak.

The State Department is awaiting
complete report from both Roland
S. Morris. American Ambassador to
Japan, and Gen. William S. Graves.
commander OF the American forces
In Siberia. both of whom are now
at Omsk, before determining wheth-
er or not the United States can do
anything in connection with the
overthrow of Admiral KoIchak.
With the rout of KoIchak's forces
by the Bolshevists, and consequent
preparations for the evacuation of
Omsk, the capital of the AlI-Russian
Government, the name by which
kolchak styled his regime, practi-
cally all of productive Russia will
pass into the control of the Bolshey-
lists.
The Archangel government-a sub
sidiary of the Kolchak government
is doomed to immediate obIitera-
tion. Yesterday the State Depart
ment received from il a call for as
sistance. but nothing can be done.
Soon after the Americans withdrew
from Northern Russia, the British,
due to the insistence of the popula-
tion at home, began preparations r
their evacuation. and the French
followed suit. There are practically
no allied troops in Northern Russia
at this time, and there is little hope
of despatching food or supplies to
the $4,000 or 10000 Russian troops
who swore allegiance to Kolchak.
because Archangel again will be ice
bound before food or munitions
could be sent there.
Kolchak's retreat in the east,
moreover. has been on such a large
scale that it is not believed he will
be able to assemble his scattered
forces, or care for the refugees
from Omsk until he reaches either
Tomsk or Irkutsk
