By increasing appetite, stimulating flow of gastric juices and so assist ing digestion, it helps build physi cal resistance to periodic discom fort. It also helps reduce periodic distress for many who take it a few days before and during "the time." Try CARDUI. Used 50 years.

DICTATORSHIP In the city of New York where the European war is being fought—one will hear every side of every question, in every gath ering. One side of our question is that old rubbish about Demo cracy not being able to compete with a one-man military type of government. » Since when? It certainly com peted successfully in the "First World War," and in fact has done so ever since it was re-dis covered by our forefathers one hundred and fifty odd years ago. Since that memorable time, it rose to the top of the heap and became virtual master of the world. Then it got rich and. fat, and at the moment is suffering from a bad case of dyspepsia superin duced by a gall stone named Hit ler. Democracy may be "down" for the moment, but it is about as much "out" as Jack Dempsey was, away back yonder when Fir po knocked him through the ropes. You remember how Jack, the old Manassa Mauler, came back with his knees wobbling, and terminated the fistic ambitions of Firpo, the wild bull of the Pam pas? Dicto-Democratically speak ing, the same thing will happen this time. A century and a half trial of government by multiple brain power has proven conclu sively that the one-brain variety cannot successfully compete. In the days before Democracy, every nation was under one-man rule, and the competition be tween these men was equal. But when the democratic form of multiple thinking entered the game, the nations which adopted this new policy forged rapidly ahead of the others. Britain became master of a quarter of the earth's dry land, and all of its seas. She became the great center of banking and commerce, and the economic ar biter for us all. France dug her self in at home and built up an empire beyond her borders which was only surpassed in immensity by that of Great Britain. The United States grew from a nar row stretch of territory along the Atlantic Coast to the most poten tially powerful nation the world has ever known. In the wake of these leaders followed the Scandinavian na tions and the entire continent of South America. China has been struggling alOhg the same path; even Germany and Russia made a try for it, but missed on their first attempt. The Dictators recognize the ex istence of this universal urge, and are attempting to combat it by instilling the doctrines of to talitarianism in the yputh of their countries. For the moment they are being successful and have imbued certain elements of their populations with a sort of mystic exaltation. We must re-acquire a common sense exaltation. We must stop taking Democracy for granted and "go to work on it." We must rally 'round the banner of Free dom with our hearts and souls, for without this freedom they would die. We must defend America, the greatest stronghold of Democracy, and we must brook no interference from within our own borders. We must seek out those who would destroy us and kick them out of our country. There is plenty of spare room in Germany for our Nazis, and in Italy for our Fascists. There is plenty of room in Russia for the most sinister and dangerous of them all—the Communists. It may be too late if we delay much longer. Autocracy's agents have been talking "Dying Democracy" in this country ever since we won our independence. They almost burst into song during the last Great War. They now attempt to prove that their war successes in Europe demonstrate that Dic tatorship is more effective than Democracy. But those who are intelligent know that Democracy was simply caught napping; that it is now wide awake and is beginning to surge ahead in this country with a force so irresistible that no power on earth can stop it—and no Dictatorship can equal it when it gets fully under way. Intelligent people know that this "surprise attack" of Totali tarianism cannot succeed against this country; and in the end, must fail in Europe and Asia, just as have the conquests of all others whose principals have been opposed to that ever-growing and irresistible force—the passion for freedom which we call Demo cracy.
