Liberty is cheap at ANY cost.
Buyalibertybond.
The Dallas New Era certainly is
a live, newsy, clean and up-to-date
newspaper.
Cotton mattresses at 27% cents
“per” ought to make a most com
fortable place to slumber.
The Government cannot insure
your safety without men and mon
ey. Buy a Liberty Loan Bond.
With the liberty of the country
threatened, this is not a time for
internal quarrels. —Dallas New
Era. .
If you were asked to name the
livest merchants in town, would
you name those who advertise or
those who don’t ?
The Government does not see
fit to use paid advertising to sell
Liberty Bonds, but that is no rea
son why ail who can, should not
buy them.
What is the matter with some
of the American people? Is it the
almighty dollar they have in mind
instead of the welfare and safety
of the country?
Have you ever sold a dollar’s
worth of anything to a mail order
house? No, but your home mer
chant trades at home. We should
all do likewise.
It is hard to give up a relative
on the battlefields of France but
that is far better than waiting here
to see your wnoie family subject
ed to the ravages of German bru
tality.
The Atlanta Georgian says
“Senator Hardwick is Entitled to
Fair Play in Georgia and Should
Receive It.” Yes, well you know
Turn About is fair play and we
hope he will receive it good and
strong.
Co-operation is a great thing
and we appreciate your help, but
money has an earning, power all
by itself. —D dlas New Era. We
agree with you, which, by the
way, reminds us to announce that
subscriptions paid for now will be
duly appreciated.
Most of us have heard it said
that if a vote were taken by the
people, they would vote over
whelmingly against war. This as
sertion has no foundation, judging
by the way Wisconsin’s represen
tative citizens adopted resolutions
requesting their treasonable Sen
ator, LaFollette, to resign and
in case he refused, that he be ex
pelled by the Senate. These citi
zens voted 300 to 1 in favor of the
resolution. In this we believe
Wisconsin has voiced the senti
ment of the American people.
The Old Senator’s Argu
ment.
Patiently the senator sat through
the session. The committee from
his home state laid facts and fig
ures before him, and their ablest
orators represented to him the
folly of his attitude in voting for
prohibition. It meant, they said,
the ruination of business, the up
setting of all political plans, the
disruption of his party, and death
to his personal ambitions. Then,
when they were all through, he
arose and said:
“What you have brought to my
attention is very cogent and con
vincing. But there is no use de
ceiving you, nor of allowing you
to entertain any hope whatever
that I will change my position.
“Bear with me, my friends, and
I will tell you the why.
“I am an old man, I haye not
very long to live, by any rule of
expectancy. I must answer you
as I expect to answer at the judg-
ment seat of God.
“I had a boy, an only son. He
was the pride and hope of my life,
and of his mother’s. Some of you
knew him. He was a promising
young lawyer.
He got to drinking. He was
one of those who don’t know how
to drink. I suppose he was weak.
“That boy died drunk. Before
he died he broke his mother’s
heart. She gasped her life away
in my arms.
“He had a beautiful wife and
child. In a drunken mania he
killed them both and then shot
himself.
“You see me here alone, a strick
en, lonely old man. Every hope
of joy and peace I had has been
swept away by alcohol.
“I may be narrow. I may be
called a fanatic. Perhaps I am.
I “know the value of personal
liberty. 1 know you can’t legis- j
late men into being good. I know
that there’s a deal of Pharisaism '
and intolerance among profession
al prohibitionists. I know. They
have stabbed me more than once.
“And I know - there’s a great
deal of money tied up in the liquor
business. And that many liquor |
dealers are honest, descent people.
Some of them have been my
stanchest friends and supporters.
“You haven’t made a point in
the argument that 1 haven’t made
myself, in any time.
“But —condemn me if you will,
retire me to private life when my
term is over if you so desire —but
when I think of this question I see
only >ay child with that hole in his
temp; % stiff and stark before me,
and t;ie wife of my youth in her
coffin, ana uiuac uihcr two inno
cent human creatures done to
death, and I can do but one thing.
“I may be a narrow old man,
but alcohol has hit me too hard,
and by God! I’ll hit it every
chance I get.
“When you can get the citizens
of Belgium to listen to arguments
in favor of Germany, then come
to me and talk about booze.” —Dr.

A Judge’s Reasons
For Divorce Suits.
1. Because they marry young
and have not had the proper home
training.
2. Too much mother-in-law and
father-in-law.
3. Because they want to
“sport” around after marriage.
4. Because they marry without
sufficient money saved up for fur
niture and unexpected home ex
penses.
5. Because girls of today work
in shops or department stores, re
fuse to do housework and are ex
travagant.
6. Because girls are allowed to
remain out late and become lax in
their morals, due to the failure of
the parents to provide chaperons.
7. Because women spend most
of their time in shopping and card
parties.
8. Argument as to who is boss
of the house; refusal to show how
salary has been expended; want of
consultation.
9. Bestowing more attention
on the children than husband.
10. Children grow up and re
fuse to obey, mother siding with
the children.
Prompt Action Averts the Trouble.
Sluggish bowels indirectly cause
much sickness. A constipated
csndition not only poisons the
blood stream, but quickly affects
the liver and other organs, caus
ing biliousness, sick headache,
sour stomach, bloating, etc. Foley
Cathartic Tablets are mild in ac
tion, yet cleanse thoroughly, with
no nausea, and costive after ef
fects. They keep the bowels reg
ular, stomach sweet and liver ac
tive. Stout persons welcome the
comfortable, light, free feeling
they bring. The McDonough

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning (or the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
