PROTEST AGAINST
LOANS TO HOMELAND

Protest against loans to China at
present is voiced in behalf of the
Chinese in the United States by the
Chinese National Welfare Society
in America, it was announced mere
by Joseph ShiangMin Lee. eXecu-
tive secretary of the organization.
DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, former Amer
lean minister to China, is an ad-
visor of the association, which has
branches throughout the United
States in practically all Chinese
com munities.
The protest follows in part:
Whereas the internal political
situation of the republic of China
is in disorder due to the lack of a
central government capable or
commanding the confidence and
support of the people and
Whereas loans made to any OF
the governments now existing ~
China have been used in the past
and will be used in the future only
for military purposes, which bene-
fit neither the people nor the coun-
try. now therefore be it
Resolved. that we. the Chinese
people of America, hereby place
ourselves on record that it is our
sense of duty of the gravest impor-
lance to our country and to the
world at large to discourage any
foreign loans, private or official,
made to any government in China,
provincial or national"
Refusal of any loan at present
will aid in bringing about settle
ment of China's internal strife, ae-
cording to officials of the Chinese

ALL WRONG
WAS HER LIVER
Before taking Black -Draught
Missouri Lady Was Trou-
bIed With Constipation,
Headache and Bad Taste
In Mouth.

Grandin, Mo.-Mrs SGsa Brooks,
of this place, writes; Some time
ago | was in a bad fix, with stom-
ach and liver trouble. / did not
feel good at any time. | was very
constipatcd, and had headaches
from this condition. and had con-
tinual hurting in my stomach, and
bad taste in the mouth, Could
tell my liver was all wrong.
Il had known of Black Draught,
so decided to try it myself. l be-
gan with large dose or doses, grad
ually getting to smaller doses. 1t
regulated my bowels, relieved me
of the hurting III my stomach,
cleaned off my liver and made me
feel like a new person.
If you get up in the morning
feeling as tired as you did when
YOU went to bcd--achy. coated
tongue. bad taste in mouth, sallow
complexion-then your liver has
not done its full duty, and your
system has absorbed the poisons
which your liver should have taken
away.
An occasional dose Of Thedford's
Black Draught will help this i'm
portant organ to function properly.
Get a package of Thedtord' s
Black Draught liver medicine to-
day.
Druggists sell it, or can get 1t for
you.
