Reply to Paganus.

Omaha, Jan. Ito the Editor of
The Bee: Thanking you if advance
for your generous custom Of giving
your readers space to relieve their
minds on current events. Recently,
"Paganus," in airing his views on
the Irish question, informed Irish
agitators, Your enemy is not Eng
land; your enemies wear black
robes" These must be Catholic
priests. Now isn't that a queer de-
Tense against the freedom of Ire
land? Belgium is also a Catholic
country from the king down. Still,
1t is said England went to war for
the freedom of Belgium, whose en-
envy must also wear black robes.
Even the Hun did not justify the
theft of Belgium on such cannibal-
like pretenses. If Ireland must be
governed without her consent, be-
cause of her religion, then why set
up all these Catholic central Euro
pean countries on their own hook
and deny freedom to those wearing
the yoke Of the allied countries?
One-third, at least, of the U. S. mill
tary forces are Catholics. How are
you going to explain this matter to
them, Paganus? You have some
job. We are listening.
WATCHFUL WAITING.

 I had to ride everywhere went and suffered at that, but not so much as when I tried to walk. Standing on my feet was torture.
 My greatest suffering was in my right side. was so sore and felt if I stepped down or jared myself the least bit could not stand it-so just walked mostly tiptoe. This kept up until I was just about discouraged and decided I had best try something else.
 Someone told me of Cardui, and where it had benefited cases similar to mine [ felt at least 1t would not hurt to give it a trial.
