iZY LEROY CONGLETON /REPAT
RIATED AMERICAN SOLDIER.)
(Copyright 1918, by The Uniter, Press.)
London. —The Gi rman revolution is
genuine, fudging from what 1 saw in
Darmstad, Limburg and Oppladen.
The common people realize tor the
first time that the militarists duped
them It is impossible for militarism
to return to power
On November Bth German m,urines
went alqng the Rhine, waving; red
flags, throwing away their weapons
and disarming other soldiers.
At Oppladen. the people and the
garrison were wild with joy. The .en
tire garrison immediately packed up
a 1 al! of them r eturned to tlwir
homes. My guard, announcing tiie
news, tossed his cap and cartridge belt
in the air, crying:
“Now we ll have freedom!"
I had acted as Interpreter and as a
result was allowed the freedom of tha
town where we were quartered.
I talked with many people regarding
the food situation, which was extreme
ly serious. Here is a menu of a typi
cal family, such as I often dined with:
For breakfast—a substitute for cof
fee, consisting of barley, etc., and
bread made of potato flour and saw
dust.
For luncheon—a soup made from
substitutes for fats and potatoes or
onions, alternating with cabbage. On
Sundays m eat was allowed.
For dinne: bread and jam.
All restaurant! were closed. The
people had plenty of iron and paper
money, but no gold, silver or copper.
Anyway they did not have anything to
spend it for. The factories were mak
ing only such necessities as war ma
terials, household furniture, etc. Ev
erything was expensive. 1 paid 15
marks ($3.60) for a knife and fork. La
borers, who were mostly women, earn
ed from seven to nine marks ($1.68 to
$2.60) a day. Prisoners did all the
farm work.
Tha country waa fairly orderly, but
presented a very dilapidated appear
ance. Houses, mills and fences were
dropping to pieces.
All work clothes were made from
paper, while dress clothes were re
made from old th-ngs. Shoe tops were
paper and the soles were either paper
or wood. Hats werf* made of straw.
The only amusement was the movies.

Black-Draught Given High
Praise As a Stomach and
Liver Medicine by Well-
Known Old Gentleman
Who Has Used It.
Mineola, Texas.—The Rev. M. G.
Jenkins, a retired minister of the M. E.
Church South, living in this city, says:
"I have used Black-Draught as a stom
ach and liver medicine, and ' ave never
found its equal.
Once X suffered for two months with
cramps and pains, tried everything I
could hear of without avail, but Black-
Draught was a “dead shot.”
I am known here and all over the
state for my honesty and truthfulness.
I am 7S years old and have used Black-
Draught for years.
I can highly recai.ir.end it to anyone
as a liver medicine that has no equal.
It is excellent for stomach, liver And
other ailments. I use it for a bad taste
in the mouth, headache and other sick
nesses that come from the disorders
of the liver.”
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and acts actively on the
bowels, gently stimulating the liver,
and helping to increase the normal dis
charge of bile into the intestines.
It assists in the digestion of food and
relieves constipation in a prompt and
n a.tural way.
