EBERT CRITICISES TREATY
Saws President Wilson Has Forsak
en- Fourteen Points

An Associated Press report from
Berlin says: Germany has seized
and unfurled a new banner on which
are inscribed President Wilson's
fourteen points, which the Presi-
dent apparently has deserted" said
Friedrich Ebert, the German Presi-
dent, in q statement to the Associ-
ated Press.
President Ebert declares that the
worlds youngest republic in the
hour of greatest peril had weighed
its overseas big brother and found
him wanting.
In a statement intended primarily
for the American people, which he
designated "a moral declaration OF
war upon all that remains Of the old
system of intentional politics" the
first President of the German re-
public discussed with outspoken
frankness the peace situation, the
state of the German people and the
prospect of the immediate future.

THURSDAY, MAY %, 1919.

Have you subscribed to the Saliva
ton Army fund? If not you should.
The Salvation Army is one of the
most wonderful organizations in the
world, operating in the larger cities
everywhere. The work they do is
worthy of your recognition, and
every American, who ignores the
opportunity to help the organization
in this drive for home service funds,
if called upon, is without the milk of
human kindness. The Salvation
Army, as an organization, did Won
derful work, during the past four
years. / was among the first to go
upon the battle fields of Europe and
administer to suffering humanity.
Reports of their work and service
should leave no doubt in the minds
of our people as to the righteous
ness of their cause, abroad or here
at home. They 60 where other
Christian organizations would not
think of going. They administer to
a class of people, that, as rule the
established churches do not seem to
realize are in existence or do not
countenance. No slum is too black
and treacherous for its workers, and
no human being can become so low,
lawless and degraded, that they will
not try to help him up and set him
Alright in the eyes of society.
Members of the Salvation Army
are missionaries of different type,
the world needs more of them, and
they need our financial assistance,
and moral cooperation wherever
they have a post.

Chief Negro City

Chicago is the first negro city in
America. Estimates by negro lead
ers set the negro population of Chi
cago at 125,000. Two years ago the
number was $4,000. Demand for Ia
Dor, high wages and the awakening
of the negro through travels induc-
ed by the war are given as causes
for the tremendous influx. Negro
labor is employed largely by the
packing houses. 1t is organized and
affiliated with labor federations. Ne
groes have crowded the white out
of some territory, so that it is now
impossible to define the "black belt.
Negro living conditions have i'm
proved with growth.

Because Williamsburg people fail
ed to subscribe the c6unty's quota
in the Victory bond drive does not
signify that they are not patriotic
and want the cost of the war liqu-
dated. Fact is they had sold ne cot
ton and very few had sold their
seed On their cotton they had to
borrow money, to carry on farming
operations, paying interest and at
the same time paying insurance and
warehouse charges on their cotton.
In the face of these existing
conditions many Of them are excus-
able, although the banks made most
liberal propositions for the advance
ment of money, at low interest
rate. In other states conditions were
different and the bonds were readily
sold, the people had the money on
hand instead of lot Of expensive
cotton.

brave attempt to climb Pixies. Peak.
II courageously chose an unfavora-

snowdrifts that sometimes rose in
its path to a height of 10 feet. 1t
waddled along finely behind its
motto "Pikes Peak or Bust" how
ever, until twelve miles up the slope
something did "bust". Repairs were
made, despite a 60-mile gale, near
zero weather, and cracker-and-
sardine diet for the crew. Then the
Little Zeb" started again, only to
be stopped, still short of the summit,
and ordered elsewhere by messen-
ger from headquarters.

DOCTORS SAY THE
new CALOMEL IS
BEST MEDICINE.
New Variety, Called Calotabs, Is
Purified And Refined From
Nauseating and Salivating
Effects-Medicinal Vlr-
tues Retained and
Improved

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical authorities,
calomel was the best and most uni
versally useful of all medicines.
Medical authorities prescribed calo-
mel for almost every disease and ex-
plain that it was the best and surest
of all system purifiers. They say
that calomel cleanses the liver, stom-
ach, bowels and kidneys and purifies
the blood from all poisons, making
the system pure and clean 50 that
nature can quickly restore health.
Now that science has purified cal
omel of all its nauseating and dan
gerous qualities, the new kind Of
calomel, called "Calotabs," is even
more popular than the old. As a liy-
er-cleanser and system purifier Cal
otabs are more effective than the
old style calomel, yet are entirely
delightful in effect. One Calotab at
bedtime, with a swallow of water
that's all. No nausea, no salts, nor
the slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine,
with a hearty appetite for breakfast
Eat what you please and go where
YOU please-there is no restriction
ef habit or diet or danger Of saiiVs-
ton.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist recommends
and guarantees Calotabs, and Will
refund your money if you are not
delighted with them--(adv.)
