Sickness can be prevented easier than it can be cured and if you will give your system the benefit of a few bottles of you will find your whole system strengthened. It will fortify your lungs and throat and enrich your blood against rheumatism. It is powerful concentrated nourishment without alcohol or opiates.

The man who seems to Ht the job is our old friend Charles M. Schwab. The thing to do with a pro-German is not to make him kiss, but serve the flag. GERMAN-American is self-contradictory.

Besides providing food, the war garden gives the home defender practice in trench dinging. Net we hear Hindenburg ex plain that his path to that l'aris dinner was blocked by the German dead.

Cornbread improperly made tastes like Ger man propaganda. HlNDhNUliHo carries concrete slabs for paving the roads of ITjii ders. They also make suitable tombstones lor his savages. If the dead could bury their dead General Korniloff would be in a constant state of conducting a Russian funeral over himself. Pedestrians can stop worry ing. Gasolene jumped up another cent and a half Saturday, and is squalling for a further spring. The city of Denver has taken unto iiself an official chaplain. Who says now that a city govern ment is a soulless corporation? William Howard Taet is now a Majnr-General. Picture the sit uation when he comes in contact with merely Colonel Roosevelt. If the war could be run by elo quence and the like probably Mr. VCilson wuuid be using more law yers and fewer steel and iron men. An Amsterdam statement is thai "German criminals will be enroll ed to fight." That ought to put the Kaiser himself m the trenches. When Bill the Boche loses his throne, he can at least claim thai he has given the world its crown. ing example of the high cost of firing. Hindenburg has written to the Kaiser that he needs time to de velop the battle. He might try selling his clock back an hour or two That will prove about as effective as German strategy usu ally does.

One of the uses ol the proceeds of the Liberty Loan that will appeal strongly to llie great mass of the American people is the care and mention given to llie moral wel fare and protection of llie Amen can soldiers. I lerctotiiie wiih die American Army and even now with some ol the armies of our allies the moral wellare of the soldier w as and is a matter largely ignored. In the German armies provision is even made for immorality. It is to the glory ot American arms and American national char i.c'ter that of the men who wear the Toiled States uniform a high stand ard of conduct is expected and de manded, and provided for.
