Do you realize that it is sad, al¬
most shameful, that we, though
faithful, loyal and trusty Ameri¬
cans, should permit our govern¬
ment servants and hirelings to pro¬
long their pleadings to us to help
those whom we have placed in
authority to free all nations from
future wars.
What have you done?
That’s good, but have you done
enough ?
Haven’t you failed to do as much
as your less fortunate brother who
toils and labors under the heat of a
scorching sun and has given his
last hard-earned penny for the
cause?
Awaken ! awaken !! and what¬
ever you believe your duty is, do It.
This war is fast demolishing the
old world—the old order of things,
that concentrated force so essential
to not only the sustainance of kings
upon their thrones, but to the
foundation-stones upon which are
established all oppressive powers
whether of a military or economic
nature, that all mankind may live
upon a level in peace under the
wide-spreading branches of the tree
of justice.
Let the masses, then, rally to the
call of their nation, responding
with money, if they have it, and
sacrifies in food and luxuries.
If you would free future genera¬
tions from the curse of wars, help
win this one, that the way may be
paved for peace on earth.

know what Mr. Howard’s official
errors have been during his fifteen
or twenty years of public life, we
fully believe Mr. Dean is prepared
to give you his construction of it
On the other hand, no doubt Mr.
Howard is capable of defending his
record magnificently, and, as Mr.
Dean has no official political record
Mr. Howard will necessarily have
to “pay his respects” to Mr. Dean
from some other angle.

Stella-Vitae and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.

and would swell and bloat in a most
distressing using Stella-Vitae way. When_ I weighed 1 began 108
pounds. Now I weigh 135.' I am
more thankful than 1 can ever tell

CaGrrhai Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by l-cal applications, £3 they cannot reach
the diseased portion or the ear. There is
only cne way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that ia by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Dc-aine&s its caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling oound or im¬
perfect hearing, and %vhen it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
wili be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur¬
faces Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
