'Fruit-a-tIyes' the Greatest
Of all Nerve Remedies
Because Made OF Fruit Juices

The increase in the number OF
persons suffering from Nervousness IS
world wide; due, in a measure, to the
reaction following the war. Sleepless-
ness, Headaches, Mental Depression,
Rheumatism, Nervous Dyspepsia,
Bad Heart Action, are the results OF
a disturbed condition of the Nervous
System.
The nerves and the blood are so
intimately, so vitality, connected that
thecondition of one is bound to affect
the condition of the other. If the
blood is laden with impurities, 1T is
impossible to have strong, steady
nerves.
ssFruit-a -tivesn will always euro
Nervousness because it is a fruit

THE SLACKER LIST

There can be no argument against the con tention of the Adjutant General of the Army in his annual report, that Git is imperative that the government exhibit the greatest pos sible energy in pursuing the deserters and slackers under the draft law, and in punishing all who are found guilty" Neither the ap- parent magniture of the job-there are more than hundred thousand names remaining on the stacker lst-nor the consideration that the ''war is over'' should persuade the govern ment to abandon the pursuit.
 General Harris points out that 'inaction would tend to set a premium on evasion of military service with the inevitable result that, should another national emergency arise and another selcctive draft law be put in oper- ation, the number of men attempting to evade the performance of military duty would mount to figure so large as to imperll the nation through interfering very seriously with the rapid building up of an emergency Army.'
 The slackers are law violators and the pass ing of time cannot wipe out that. The gov ernnent owes it to the millions who served to punish every one of this peculiarly despicab]c class of offenders that can be found. Condona- tion of the offense, which failure to use all means to a!prehend the slackers and bring them to trial would be, woud further, be gross discrimination unfair to those who have been rounded up and punished.
 Every man the stacker list as it now stands, of course, is technically innocent until he is proved guilty. So long he is on it, nevertheless, long as he does not come for ward to face the accusation, the natural if not the legal presumption is that he is guilty. He is under charges, and if he declines to ac- ceft his day in court he is d confessed slacker
 It is to be presumed that very few the list did not cvade service. The publication of the names in the newspapers, some time ago. resulted in the identification of many which did not belong on it. The percentage, however, was small. According to the Adju- tant General, less than one-half of one per cent of the names published have been found to be those of non-wilfnl deserters. The countrywide publicity was highly useful in cof rectinS the lst though great care had been taken with it before it was given out. Service men who felt keenly the wrongful appearance of their names were compensated by the re- flection that had they not been published the records of the War Department would have continued them on the roll of dishonor The records of tho Civil War are not yet all cleared Congress IS frequently appealed to by some octogenarian veteran for relief from the stigma of being classed as a deserter from the Union Army.
