STOMACH TROUBLE I Mr. Marion Holcomb. of Nancy, Ky., says: "For quite H a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would H have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most y disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with ■ butter.oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have U regular sick headache. 1 had used pills and tablets, but ■ after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just ■ seemed to tear my stomach all up. 1 found they were ■ no good at ail fpr my trouble. 1 heard THEDFORD'S I BUCK-DRAUGHT I recommended very highly, so began to use it It cured ■ me. I keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. Ido not have sick headache or ■ stomach trouble any more." Black-Draught acts on ■ the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of H throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys- m tem. This medicine should be in every household for W use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feel H sluggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh to- ■ morrow. Price 25c a package.

Riley, lUlon, » Y. Chamberlain'* Tablets are ootalna ble everywhere. adv. MUST PREVENT FIRES WHICH DESTROY FOOD •You cannot continue to eat A lf you continue to burn up the food! Therefore, if you want to eat—and to continue to eat—"prevent the fito* that are destroying vast stores of the country's food products every day. These are the salient thoughts of a letter recently Issued by one of the largest insurance companies to its agents and to the insurance frater nity. The letter emphasizes the fact that the duty to serve cannot be dele gated. "U. S. stands for the United States," it says, "but it spells US, and with a very distinctive spelling when * 'state of war" arrives." The letter is a clarion call to indi vidual service —personal assumption of responsibility for waste, however caused and whatever It affects but with particular reference to the pre vention of food wastage by fire. The insurance company's call Is to tljft agwrtt of the Company first, to the insurance fraternity second; but It applies with equal force to every man and woman —even every child —that handles or in the remotest degree is responsible for created values, wheth er created by man's handiwork or pro duced as the result of his labor. The letter follows: "In the stress which confronts our country we have also the recognized Importance of the Individual, the quan tity and quality Of the personal obli gation of every citizen, which In less strenuous times Is overlooked or Ignored. It is not a time when per sonal responsibility may be left to parties, societies, officials, aggrega tions, etc., which in "piping times" of peace and prosperity Is too much our habit. Each must now follow the flag for himself —we cannot avoid or dele gate our duty. U. 8. stands for the Unl'ed States, but it spells US, and with a very distinctive spelling when "A State of War" arrives. "It Is a favorable feature of the war-test, this renaissance of the indi vidual. Boys at once become man size; the careless and Indifferent be come sober-minded; the sober-mind ed become serious, and the serious be come intense. The man-unit reaches Its best and thus the whole people be come like a tuned piano with every wire at tone tension. Insurance men are sure to respond to the prepared ness requirements of the situation, and they know as well as any what Is needed to Insure the safety and honor of the country. All will not be called to the colors, but all will be called to share In the duties and burdens o the %imes. • • • "Never before in the war experience of this country has there been such anxiety for our food supply, and never before has there been so much reason for this solicitude. There is abun dant evidence that we are going to be hungry! In fact, this question of food supply is the groat feature of the awful European war and it will have an important if not decisive Influence upon the outcome. Throughout our country the danger is being understood and the demand has gone forth for the fullest product which the land can be made to yield. There must be no Idle lots or acres or tillers of the soil — for food supply takes prominence over munitions. "Equally Important with food pro duction Is Its conservation, the saving ftir actual use. Scores of food-laden vessels have been sunk at sea ))y the vicissitudes of war and enormous quantities have been lost by fires on. land from vicissitudes that you know all about. We may not diminish con tinued loss by war, but there can and must be salvage from the loss by Are. What avails It If thousands of acres are sown and harvested if the product be destroyed In such elevator flres as have recently occurred, one of them involving a mdlllon bushels of grain? Not only grain in elevators, but grain and flour In mills and wiyehouses; meats in cold storago and packing houses; food In wholesale and retail groceries, canning and provision estab lishments—in fact, few fires occur without the loss of foodstuffs now so PERSHING AND STAFF HIIIE JJUROPf AMERICAN COMMANDER ON HII WAY TO FRONT IN FRANCE.

"You have the ability, the knowl edge and the experience; you have the confidence of your clients and acquaintances, and you have behind you the critical need of your country In conserving the supply of food. You know where Are dangers exist and what improvements are needed. This Is no small matter at any time, but Is much emphasized Just now and Is worthy of your determined un dertaking according to plans which are best calculated to bring results In your respective localities. Enlist the interest of your competitors, your Are department, your good citizens, your local press, and arouse your commun ity to the prodigal wastage of Are, which can easily be lessened. We are sure that if the insurance men of this country were conscious of how much they could do in this behalf and made | that consciousness active along Mnes in which they are well informed, our shameful annual ash-heap would di minish, rates of insurance would de crease, a patriotic service would be rendered and an important contribu tion to the food supply of the future. would be made." There Is no gainsaying the Import ance and timeliness of this plea. The country Is not yet awake to the factj that we are at war. The sound of the guns Is afar off and it 1s on the other wide of the world that men are dying. Yet millions in value— Including mil lions of value in food —and hundreds of lives have been destroyed here at home In the carrying out of a war fare as real as that raging from the English Channel to the Swiss frontier | and as bitter as that which has filled the gloomy chambers of stormy eeas with uncounted dead. And all because there has been, in this country, no adequate system of prevention, no wrl'l-planned method of protection, nc general adoption of sound principles for the accomplish ment of fire extinguishment. Individual responsibility 1B a burden on all; but It boars with a compelling [ force on those whose properties are 1 destroyed, and particularly those mills whore grain Is ground Into flour and meal, In the warehouse where food stuffs are stored and especially In the grocery store where the keeping of foodstuffs and inflammable materials near together renders an extra haz ard. It Is up to them to remove every hazard that Is removable. It Is up to them to provide every means, method and facility for protection against both internal and external hazards. And, above all. If works and devices and systems and methods of prevention fail, there is the last-trench defense of flra-extinguishment. Prom the very nature of the problem—food conserva tion—lt is necessary that this be ac complished, with the least possible loss or damage, which pre-supposes Imme diate detection of Are at the point of origin, immediate alarm to outside lira lighters that (Ire exists, and Immediate setting to work to extinguish It. This means that these functions must be automatically performed, to be of high est service. Fire prevention, therefore, for the re moval of causee; fire protection, for the safeguarding of properties and processes, and sprinkler equipment to meet the exigencies of the situation If-—despite ell precautions—fire de velops—these are the elements of the personal responsibility that must be shouldered by the food handlers of the county. What are YOU going to do about ItT information received here from "the president of Nicaragua. The presidents message says: "Telegraphic d&mmunlcatlon is Just re-establlßhed with San Salvador and confirms that earthquake commenced at seven o'clock yesterday afternoon (Thursday) and continued all night, acoompanied by a heavy rain. "San Salvador, Santecla and neigh boring towns and villages were de stroyed. "The casualties were small." There were some fires. The president of Nicaragua has tele graphed the president of Salvador of fering aid. He has ordered the or ganization of relief committees to send help to the suffering and the home less. A report received from San Miguel says San Salvador was destroyed, only one hundred houses left standing. Strong earthquakes, the report says, were followed later by lava and boil ing water. BRITISH PREPARING FOR. FURTHER PROBABLE ACTION. With the Messlnies-Wytschaete ridge In their possession, the British organ ized the new ground and prepared for probable further action, while throwing back Qerman counter-at tacks. Surprised by the terrific on slaught of Sir Douglas Haig's men the Germans, who lost more than 6,400 prisoners and many more killed or wounded as a result of the mine ex plosions and the British artillery fire, made no Immediate counter-attacks. BOWEL COMPLAINTS IN INDIA In a lecture at one of the De» Moines, la., churches, a missionary from India told of going into the interior of India, where he was ta ken sick, that he had a bottle of Chamberlain's Coiic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with him and believed that it saved his life. This remedy is used successfully in In dia both as a preventive and cure for cholera. You may know from this that it may be depended upon for the milder forms of bowel com plaint that occur in this country. Obtainable everywhere. adv.

I'LEBIMP MS COME TO END BAKER ASKB GOVERNOR TO EN FORCE PENAL CLAUBE OP DRAFT LAW. ONE YEJIR IN PENITENTMRY ! > | Those Who Enrolled Between June 5 and June 11 Won't Be Prosecuted. | —Draft of Registrations Is Almost i Completed. 1 Washington.—The period of leniency ended June 11 for men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, Inclu sive, who failed to register tor the war army June 6. Provost Marshal General Crowder sent to the governors of all the states a message asking them "to Inaugurate i from June 12 a vigorous, aggressive and effective enforcement of the penal clause of the selective service law against all who have by their failure to register brought themselves under I those provisions." I The penalty for failure to register j on June 5 is Imprisonment for a year and enforced registration, but General Crowder, immediately after registra tion day, recommended that local boards-provide further opportunity for delinquents. The department of Jus | tlce notified United States attorneys j to release those already arrested for failure to register, providing they have now registered. | General Crowder has almost com pleted a draft of registrations to gov ern exemptions and exemption boards, and expects to lay it before Secretary Baker in a few days for approval. The general believe* no class should be exempted ps such, but that local boards should decide on the circum stances in each Individual case. He favors use of some device such as a Jury wheel for drawing the names j of those to be examined by the ex- I emption boards. The registrations will be made public after Secretary Baker and President Wilson approve i them. General Crtfwder'B message to gov ernors said; "Quotas are to be assigned to the several states in proportion to the population as determined by the bu reau of the census and not In propor tion to the registration. The result is that every person who has failed to register is seriously increasing the burden of those who have registered. "It Is requested that every effort ba now made to detect and arrest persons subject to registration who have not registered and to bring each promptly to the attention of the nearest repre sentative of the department of jus tice. Care should be taken that the lists prescribed in paragraph thirty nine (men registered) are promptly posted and all registrants should be asked to assist In bringing non-regis trants to the attention of the police. "In case of doubt as to the age of persons who have not registered, the tabulated records of political organi sations and other local records should be consulted and data may be obtained from the bureau of the census."
