Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks, Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland, Who Tells Wife What To Do A Xtw Treatment Given Without the Consent or Knowledge of the Drinker. Cleveland. O.—No wife has a right to blame her husband because he Jrinks, says Druggist Brown, of Cleve land. It is her fault if she lets him drink and bring unhappiness and pov erty to her home and she has no right to complain. A woman can stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would spend on liquor, so why waste sympathy on a wife who refuses to do it. Druggist Brown also say? the right time to stop the drink habit is at its beginning unless you want drink to deaden the fine sen sibilities of the husband you love. Be gin with the first whiff of liquor on his breath, but do not despair if he has gone from bad to worse until he is rum-soaked through and through. Druggist Brown knows the curse of strong drink because he himself has been a victim. He was rescued from the brink of a drunkard's grave by a loving sister who, after ten years' time, revealed the secret to him. She saved him from drink—rescued him from his own depraved self, by giving him a secret remedy, the formula of an old German chemist. To discharge his debt to her and to help other vic tims out of the murk arid mire he has made the formula public. Any drug gist can put it in the hands of anv suffering wife, mother, sister or daughter. Just ask the druggist for prepared Tescum powders and drop a powder twice a day in tea, coffee, milk or any other drink. Soon liquor does '"Jtu "T3!

I When this is done they will be able ,to start the greatest movement of defense in Russian military history. But before this can be done, every man in the United States interested in Russian trade must know about Russia and the great difference be tween Socialism and anarchism. Rus sia is strongly Socialistic, but has no anarchist movement. "After peace is concluded, people will begin to build up the countries of Europe and in Russia, which is not as much developed commercially as other countries, the upbuilding will be especially strong. Russian trade was increasing before the war, and Russia could not get materials in other markets like she could in the United States, especially ma chinery and textiles. But she must have this material because of the development of natural resources. With this material coming in, it will be similar to the industrial develop ment here after the Civil War, and i this because foreign capital partici pated.
