PUBLIC SENTIMENT KILLS
MILITARISM
Madison (Wis.) Times

Madison (Wis.) Times
What powerful thing public SEN
timent is when once aroused.
Militarism in this country is dead.
Only few months ago everything
was militaristic. Preparedness was
demanded, universal compulsory mil
itary service was sure to come. Gen.
Wood would be the next president.
Word now comes from Chicago and
New York that no military man must
be nominated for president. This
comes in response to the swift change,
in public sentiment in the last three
months against big military pro-
gram for this country.
Some interesting gossip comes from
Chicago concerning the Wood head
quarters. We learn that no more
literature is going out Of the head
quarters showing Gen. Wood in a mil
itary uniform His latest pictures
are in civilian attire. We are also
advised that henceforth, for the pur-
poses of this campaign, he will be

Why Colds Are Dangerous

1t is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the germs
of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
dyptheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles. You are much
more likely to contract these diseases
when you have a cold. For that reason
you should get rid of every cold as
quickly as possible. Chamberlain's
Couch Remedy win help you. It is
widely known as a cure for bad colds.
