"Thero aro people who bellevo the
world must come to an end becauso the
Austrian and German empires no moro
exist, but I know wo will alt bo happier
and especially jou In America, It Is
the first time In tho history of nations
that generosity has over conquered sel
fishness and when tho news camo to
mo within my prison wall that America
had entered tho war I was unablo to

of Czccho-Slovakla, mado this statement
to a representative of tho Associated
Press today.

mlan kings. This magnificent pllo over
looks the city of Praguo from tho north
west. - When the correspondent entered
tho waiting room, tho first object ho
noticed was tho bust of President Wil
son draped with tho Stars and Stripes.
Doctor Kramarz for many years
fought for tho rights of tho Czech
people. Ho was arrested at Praguo on
July 1. 1915, and following his trial at
Vienna wan sentenced to death. King
Alfonso of Spain appealed In his be
half and tho death sentence was com
muted to fifteen years' Imprisonment."
Doctor Kramarz was released under
Emperor Charles's amnesty proclama
tion of July 14, 1017. Ho was name'd
Premier of Czccho-Slovakla on Novem
ber 19 last
"I havo always beIieod In tho new
llfo of peoples," Dr. Kramarz continued,
"but tho great crowning truth of this
bollef was tho American declaration of
war. I am pleased to feel that America,
has not only given hopes and Ideals to
millions of peoplo but Its national con
science has been cnlUened, leading It to
better things.

Needs of the New Republic
M Klafoc Minister for National De
fense of the Czecho-Slovak Republic,
spoke freely of conditions in tho country, i
He said:
"There aro threo points which It Is
necessary for the Allies, especially Amer- j
lea, to understand: First, our weak mill
tary position ; second that we aro men.

third, that wo havo food for but two or i
three mouths.
"We would llko particularly to have
American troops with us, both for mill- i
tary reasons nnd becauso they would
help to establish friendly relations for J
tho future. They would also show our
pooplo what a republic means'. '
"Wo are surrounded by enemies and '
menaced by tho Germans from the north.
Bolihevlk agents are threatening and
Germany will probably send us thou
sands of released Russian prisoners.
Poland Is also giving us concern. Our
food situation Is bad. Our coal produc
t'op Is limited. If we are not supplied
by the Allies, or If Silesia Is not occu
pied by them, thero Is danger of our
freezing this winter. It Is not true that
we are preventing coal from going to
Vienna from Germany and Slleslan
Poland. Wo do not deslro chaos In
Vienna, for that would bo a danger
to us."

''Suicide by Inches
THOUSANDS of people commit
suicide by inches!
If one should take minute daily
doses of some irritant or poisonous
drug, no particular effect might be
noticed until accumulation of the poi
son made its action evident.
Yet how many realize that irritant
and poisonous substances are formed
constantly, even in health, during food
digestion and the preparation of its
waste for elimination ?

If the bowels act regularly and thor
oughly, such dangerous .matter it

But if constipation exists, there
results stagnation of intestinal waste,
increased production of poisonous
substances,' and their absorption in
to the blood, which carries them all
over the body. .
The result is disease or disorder,
which, if neglected or allowed to
continue, cripples or kills.
The victim of such self-poisoning
commits suicide by inches.
Constipation is a bad habit. It is
a sin against the'body.

do not cure constipation. They
make constipation a habit. They
do not prevent "suicide by inches."
On the other hand, the Nujol
