COIN LONG WITH LIFE.

(By Frank L. Stanton.)
Little more trouble,
Little more strife:
Coin long with life, lad,
Coin long with life
But joy with the sorrow--
The rose where thorns are rife,
Coin long with life to meet the morningI
Little more sunshine
After all the sighs,
An you still glimpse Heaven
Through the rain around your eyes;
Lights in the skies lad,
Lights in the skies
Coin long with life to meet the morning,

GETTING
ALONG fine NOW"
Richmond Man Was Badly
Rundown and Very Nerv-
GUS. Tells How Dreco
Built His Body and Health.

Mr.. Robert Cressan, who lives at
IL Sixth Street, Richmond, Ind, has a
message for every man and woman
who suffers from stomach disorders,
nervousness, constipation, dizzy spells,
and general rundown condition Of the
system. 1t is interesting reading. Here
it is:
stomach trouble was undoubtedly
the cause Of my suffering. l suffered
all the pains of indigestion after every
meal. I also was constipated and had
bad dizzy spells. 1 couldn't sleep at
night and was always very nervous.
or course I became greatly run down
and things looked pretty black for me.
but I heard so many people speak
highly of the new herb remedy, Dreco,
and I saw SO much about it in the
newspapers. that decided to give 1t
trial. took just one bottle of Dreco.
and it did wonders for me. I have
never seen its equal. One dose Of it
buoyed me up wonderfully; am
taking it right along. and am simply
getting along fine, now. You can add
of others
Dreco has time and time again
proved it's worth in all human all
ments. which had their inception in
the digestive tract. It. seems to be
just the right thing for such ailments
as indigestion. gastritis, dyspepsia,
biliousness, constipation. sleepless-
ness. headaches, rheumatism and sim
liar ills. Dreco is not a new tangled
patented medicine. 1t is simply a
combination Of roots and herbs put up
according to an old fashioned recipe
in a modern. scientific way. 1t contains
no dangerous mineral salts, or acids,
and is safe and sure in its action.
Dreco is now sold by all good drug
gists and is highly recommended in
Richmond by Thestlethwaite's Drug
Stores.-Adv.

American Aid to Europe

The American people are not taking kindly to
the continued appeals of European countries for
American aid. The statement of Secretary of the
Treasury Glass should clarity the situation i'm
mensely. The people and the press have long ago
commended that Europe should help herself first
iby getting down to working basis before fran
tic appeals for aid sent the Atlantic.
America has her problems no less than
have the nations of the European continent. We
are not philanthropists. The development of our
own commercial possibilities, the happiness of our
own people they are involved in the general
prosperity of the country, the necessity of hold
ing what we in the war, are factors which
some European countries lose sight of. They see
in only a nation of ideals that will give when
ever appeal is made. The time is here when
must teach them that benevoence has it's
limits.
The editorial expressions of the press sup
port the contention of Mr. Glass. The Chicago
Tribune has the following comment to make on
his statement:
Mr.. Glass reminds Europe, and the reminder

CADOMENE. THE

Many People Have Written of
the Seeming miracles" Per-
formed by Cadomene
Tablets.
They Are Only Recommended
For Worn-Cut, Impoverished,
Nervous People, But

People have testified that they have
been cured of rheumatism, headaches,
stomach disorders, pains of neuralgia,
etc. through the use of this great
medicine-tonic. Cadomene Tablets. 1t
only means that the Cadomene has
helped to build up the strength OF all
organs and then nature has a chance
to bring the cure. Therefore, If you
are tired, sluggish, and your feet and
hands are cold and clammy, and
nervousness overwhelms you by sleep
lessness. irritable temper, and your
heart flutters while dizziness and
trembling seize you at times. you may
ward off serious consequences and be-
come full of vigor, red blood and
health for every vital organ Of your
body. Mr. ]. w. Biggs of r. r. No. g.

What is it that roos so many people of their
vitality, youth and good looks makes them all
in and decrept years before their time? Some
say it's rheumatism that is ailing them.
Others complain of chronic stomach or liver
trouble Others are bilious Life is burden
to multitudes of dyspeptics, Severe headache,
extreme nervousness, insomnia, mental de-
preston, melancholia, anemia, dizziness, YER
tigo, heart and chest pains, constipation, ETC.,
claim other multitudes.
In about nine cases out of ten ACID
STOMACH is the cause of these ailments.
The first symptoms of this condition are nearly
always indigestion, heartburn, belching. food
repeating, painful bloat, gas, etc.
An Acid-Stomach cannot properly digest
food Unless food is fully digested it's nourish-
ing elements cannot be properly assimilated.
Hence the blood becomes thin and impover-
ished.
No person, no matter how strong or robust
he or she may be, can long Withstand the in
sidious, day-by-day health undermining effects
of Acid -Stomach. Even the tasteless acid that
causes acid-mouth is powerful enough to eat
through the hard enamel of the teeth and
cause them to decay. Is it any wonder, then,

should be useful to ourselves as we'll, of the ex-
tent of assistance already given. 1t is an enor-
amount, and it is not going to be Indefinite
ly enlarged Mr. Glass repeats Mr.. Hoover's
sharp hint that Europe had better put it's own
house in order in some important and quite pos
sible respects before it asks for more American
aid One of the most urgent requirements is to
make the German indemnity definite. In its pres
ent form it is in effect instrument of perpetual
servtude under which no people could rise to
healthy life With central Europe pinned down
Europe cannot be restored and America in such
a situation, will not send good money after bad.
It is high time America played the cards in
her hands. At Paris we threw the game away
because our representative did not know how to
play But we have now the opportunity to COM
pei return to reason and moderation in readjust-
ment, and it is essential to our own welfare and
the salvation of Europe that we do so.
If in the proposed financial conference we are
to be bullied and tricked as we were at Paris, we
ought to refuse to enter it. Perhaps Mr.. Glass
is wise in advising against our entering it. But
it is humiliating to confess, and we do not know
it is necessary, that cannot hold in
such a conference and use our power to shape
wise conclusions.
But whether we go in or stay out, we trust
it will be made clear to Europe that America is
not going to finance the imperial adventures Of
any power group of powers We are not going
to guarantee conquests or any form of war loot.
We are told we must save Europe. That is an
other affair. Whatever help we feel it advisable
to give will be given, not to the fulfillment of
grudge or greed but for the reconstruction of
rational and peaceful relations and conditions.
