GREAT DAYS AHEAD.

Down with pessimisml The
needs of the hour are vision and
courage. American genius will
master the problems of the p es-
ent as it has those Cf the past.
Neither our extraordinary
burdens abroad nor at home
shall daunt us, nor shall the
threat of Bolshevism and the
mob divert us from our true
courage. The reign of American
reason, justice and liberty has
been strengthened, not weak
ened, by our trials.
The genius, courage and in
tegrity of American business
men have not forsaken them.

Soon the mighty flow of trade
and commerce will be restored
to its normal unobstructed chan
pels.
Never has the heart of our
people been so deeply stirred
with love of country, justice
and humanity as it is today.
Never, as people, have we been
so capable, so surely masters of
Ourselves and of our destinies as
we are at this moment.
Americans do not gain their
view of the future by peering
through the "crack Of doom"
They know that the distractions
and dangers of putting our
house in order" are but tempo
rary. They look beyond and see

DIR. DOAN MAKES A
GREAT DISCOVERY;
.INFLUENZACURABLE

The best medical brains of America
have been baffled by the influenza
epidemic. Authorities disagree as to
its cause But DR.. Doan of Oklaho-
ma, has made a wonderful discovery
in connection with its cure. Thirty
years ago he made preparation
which has cured many cases of Sc
we're pneumonia. When influenza
came he prescribed it, and with won
derful results. Patients have recov-
cred after they had been coughing
blood for a day
The vapor or odor from "In-Hale-
IT. is drawn deep into the lungs. The
severe pain in the lungs stops almost
instantly. 1t is necessary to repeat
the inhaling, of this vapor. If the
patient goes to sleep so much the
better A recent case in Ottawa
county is interesting. The patient
deSpalred.
So much "In-Hale-It" was used
that it brought sleep. In the ex-
citement of the moment part Of the
bottle was spilled in the patients
mouth, but no harm was done. To
day the patient has fully recovered.
There are hundreds of such cases
where 'In-Hale-It" has saved lives.

American soldiers were not

AMERICA THE HOPE OF THE

In the course Of his recent adj

IF America were at this juno

any disrespect to any other
great people when | say that
America is the hope Of the

fy that hope, the results are un-

back upon the bitterness of dis
appointment not only, but the
bitterness Of despair. All ma
tions will set up as hostile camps
again; the men at the peace con-
ference will go home with their

thing more than sign a treaty OF
