SOUGHT FREEDOM FOR ALL
Lafayette's Aim Was Establishment
Of Government by the People
Throughout the World.

Gilbert Du Motler, Marquis De La
fayette, was man who did good
things In the world. In France he
worked for human justice and democ-
racy, and was one of the leaders in
the overthrow Of the wicked mon
archie system Of privilege and In the
establishment Of government by the
people. In America he fought for the
freedom of the colonists, and in the
end he persuaded France to send the
men and the ships that made possible
the final victory at yorktown.
France reveres the memory of La
fayette. Born nobleman, he was
ever noble man, man whose mo-
tives were unselfish and whose life
was devoted to the betterment of the
lives Of others. America reveres the
memory Of Lafayette because in
America his unselfishness was most
nobly exemplified. Not for the free
dom of France alone but for. the free
dom of all the enslaved peoples of the
world was Lafayette ever ready to
fight or to die.

The PER|LS OF
POOR Health
a Forerunner of a General
Breakdown That May
Put You Out of the Run
ming for Life.
Quickest Way to Get Well
Is Through New Treat
ment Containing Seven
teen Ingredients That
Renew Every Part of
the Body!

If you feel sickly and good. for
nothing, have sort of dizziness,
dull headache, back pains, rheu-
matism, and are subject to indi-
gestiou, or constipation, have no
appetite and can't sleep, watch
out! There is grave danger ahead
Any remedy that will give tenn
porary relief to pain and dope you
up for a timesimply postpones the
final spell and makes it worse
when it comes. This is why a
complete systemic treatment is
necessary to regain good health.
This complete treatment is found
only in a prescription known as
Re-Cu-Ma, which contains seven
teen well known and thoroughly
tested medicines, so sllillfully COM
pounded that each one performs
its function on the various parts
of the body perfectly and harmo-
niously.
This remarkable prescriptions
thoroughly cleanses the colon of
its accumulation of poisonous re-
fuse, discharging it through the
proper channel instead of allowing
it to course through your veins
and empty into your body. The
colon, according to Prof. Metchni-
koff of the Pastuer Institute, Paris,
is the direct cause of all our aches
and pains. In addition, Re- Cu-Ma
starts the liver to work pleasantly
and naturally without gripping or
purging, purifies and strengthens
the blood. thus building firm,
healthy rosy flesh that is free from
pimples and other blemishes, re-
lieyes rheumatic and back pains,
gives you a digestion that enables
you to eat anything you like with
out fear of bad after effects and
you sleep like a log. In a word
Re Gu Ma is scientific prescript-
ion that revives, renews and re-
generates your entire system SO
that you feel constantly full of
pep aud ambition.
ecu Ma is sold and recon-
mended by j. @. Jourdan Drug
Co. and G. f. Robinson Paden, and
other good drug stores, and if you
don't feel a decided change in your
condition, after taking according
to directions you get your money

Administration Buys Abroad and
Saves $4,000 BY Dodging
Its Own Tariff,

Half a million yards of khaki
drill with which to provide uniforms
for members of the U. s. Marine
Corps have been purchased in
England by the Harding administ-
ration and will begin to arrive in
this country in July. In explain
alton of this purchase of English
materials for American soldiers,
spokesmen OF the administration
say that the goods can be bought
$3.50 600 less in England than in
the kUuited States provided no
tariff is collected.
Il According to the mouthpieee O.
the administration, the Marine
Corps early last spring canvassed
fifty-hve American mills for the
special fabric it wanted but received
only one bid. The price demanded
by the American concern which
sought the business was in excess
of that subsequently, quoted by the
successful English bidders.
This experience of the American
Government itself illustrates the
operation and effects of the Rep
ublican profiteers tariff. The ex
orbitant duty on wool gives the
manufacturers an opportunity tc
charge uniustifiable prices for Their
product In the case of private firms
and individuals is it impossible to in.
woke competition from abroad
They either have to pay what is
demanded or do without, since thu
tariff is a wall which excludes al
rivalry.
The Government is not going tc
collect from the Marine Corps the
large sum which ordinary importers
would have to pay for bringing this
cloth into the country. According.
ly, it will save the entire $1SO,00C
representing the difference between
the price at which the khaki was
purchased in England and what il
would have cost if bought in thu
United States under the Fordney
McCumber profteers' tariff law
The tariff if paid, would almost
equal the amount the Government
| is said to be saving.
Commentators are saying that il
the I ordney-McCumber tariff is 6
good thing for the country, as the
Republicans contend the Republi
can administration ought to set ar
example to the public by paying
the prices which protected" Ameri
can manufacturers charge for thei
products.
The administration has set {
precedent for buying other govern
ment supplies abroad and avoiding
its own high tariff duties, but pri
vate individuals cannot dodge al
the Government does; they mus
pay it either into the Treasury i
! they buy abroad or into the pocket o
the local manufacturer if they buy
at home.
