"CARRY ON"
By Edward W. Bok. Editor The
Ladles' Home Journal
The Red Cross has done much
to win the war. It can now do
much to win peace—that peace
that must come to those who have
suffered because of the war. This
is Just as vital a phase of war
' work as when the guns were
| barking and our boys were be-
I ing wounded. Wo do not "carry
j on" and "carry through" if we
think that to belong to the Red
Cross is no longer necessary. It
is what we do during the next
year that will determine how we
have won the war, and whether
we were sincere in the ideals that
our boys fought for and gave
their lives for. If to be a mem
ber of the Red Cross was a badge
of honor when the war was on,
it is equally a badge of Honor —
I the honor of "carrying on," now
I that the wa'r is over. We cannot
J let down now in any work that
j the war has brought for us to
do. And certainly one point of
vital conduct in that work is the
Red Cross. That work is lo go
| on, and we must go on with it,
| If we want to fitly greet our boys
when they come home let K be
with a service flag in the window,
but also a Red Cross emblem.
The two are inseparable.

Keller rules that the maintenance of
the superintendent and his family in

ed upon the fact that the superinten

NATION WARNED
TO LEARN FROM
| GERMAN DEFEAT
Sound Advice Given Recon
struction Congress as to
Maintenance of Trade
By Associated Press
; Atlantic City, N. J.. Dec. 6.—Pos
sibility of perpetuating in the do
main of commerce the hatred and
bitterness engendered by the war
tviil be greatly lessened if the United
States refuses to be drawn iiffo any
agreement or understanding that
would make her a party to a boy
cott to the commerce of any nations
who have been arrayed against each
j other, was a declaration contained
in an address prepared by James A.
Farrell, of New York, and read In
his absence to the reconstruction
congress here to-day.
Foreign Trade Reviewed ,
Mr. Farrell's paper was devoted
j to a review of the foreign trade sit
i uation. "In this matter of economic
warfare after the war." Mr. Farrell
said, "there should be no ground for
misunderstanding our positions. An
unrepeant Germany, still wedded
to her idols of militarism and the re-
I lentless application of superior force
can establish no right to demand the
raising of an economic blockade
which has been a most potent in
strument in ending the war.
"In pursuance of the policy of
combining national and commercial
interest, the German nation thought
itself entitled to plunder its neigh
bors for her own economic or com- [
tnercial needs. But when we have ex
posed German ambition and de
nounced German methods, it would
be a curious way of preventing their
revival by committing ourselves to
the acceptance of German principles.
Only on the theory that the menace
of Prussian militarism must sur
vive can there be any reason found 1
for looking to the future security of j
the world in the waging of a per- ;
jfetual bloodless war, inspired by the ;
same enmity, suspicions and fears
that but lately divided the world.
Castutltics Divided
"Nor can the fact be ignored that (
in a trade war, as in this clash of'
military force, the balance of slaugh- i
ter must be recokoned with since the 1
casualties cannot all be on the other
side.
"It is certain that if Germany is
to be compelled, as she ought to be.
to repay the wanton destruction she
has wrought in Belgium, Northern
France, Poland and Serbia, she must i
have access to the raw materials of \
manufacture by conversion of which j
into finished products she may earn j
the money necessary to pay her i
debts.
"As a matter of fact, given the
frank acceptance by Germany of the
terms of peace which will be dictated
by the Allies,Ahere can be no reason
for separating her economic wants
from those of the rest of Europe.
These will be sufficiently imperative
to use up all the surplus foodstuffs
and raw materials that can be spared
for many months to come."
Must Provide Capital
Referring to foreign trade gener
ally, Mr. Farrell said: "There can
be no revival of trade in the
countries where we hope for it most,
unless we are ready to provide cap
ital for their development. We must
enter into the industrial life of those j
countries, engage in enterprises with I
them and create out ,of their re-1
sources the new wealth from which j
will come our pay."
An industrial creed for "the four '
parlies to industry"—capital, man- !
agement. labor and the community—
was outlined by John D. Rockefel
ler, Jr. It included advancement, j
by industry, of social as well as ma- ,
terial well-being of employes: op
portunity by employes to earn a liv- .
ing under conditions of fair wages, ;
reasonable hours and proper indus- :
trial environments: reward for initia- !
tlve and efficiency; machinery for I
uncovering and promptly adjusting
grievances: adequate representation
of all the industrial parties with an- j
nual joint conferences, to assure in
dustrial harmony and prosperity, in I
each plant, with this system extend- j
ed "to include all plants in the same |
industry, all industries in a commun
ity, in a nation, and in the various !
nations."

Businessmen's gymnasium class was
in action and when the electric lights
of the city went bad they did not

with military drill. C. W. Miller,

WASHINGTON STATE 'BONE DRY"
By Associated Press
Olympln, Wash., Dec. s.—Wash
ington formally became a "boneilry"
at midnight last night.
"I refused to sign It for three dayr,
but Anally did so under pro* ure of
the German diplomats and my politi
cal advisers, who advanced many rea
sons for sending the dispatch. Of
course, having signed it, 1 take full
responsibility."
William Hohenllbllern wears a de
jected appearance, according to the
Telegraph's correspondent at Ameron
gen, Holland, who says that he has
talked with "someone who has come
much In contact with the exile." This
person is quoted as follows:
"The former Kmperor wore an air
of relief when he arrived at Amor
ongen, but that soon vanished, iiven
his 'cheery wife cannot now rouse
him from moodiness. The former
Empress is really something of a
heroine and tries to make her hus
band look on the bright side of things,
but in vain. The distinguished fugi
tive has terror In his heart."
Herr Hohenzollern keeps more and
more to himself and is constantly iess
Inclined to go übont. The correspond
ent says that his informant look him
to an unfrequented place, from 'ynich
an unshaded window In the castle was
visible. Pointing to the window, the
gentleman said:
"The former Emperor sits at that
window writing as If against time,
hour after hour, sheet after .sheet,
often all the forenoon end all the
afternoon."

Railroad Chiefs
Want Roads Again
New York, Dec. 6. Executives of
railroads comprising more than 90
per cent, of the rail mileage of the
country, in conference here yesterday,
adopted a resolution favoring a return
of the roads to private ownership and
expressing the hope that the remain
ing period of federal control would
be such as to leave the properties In
the highest state of efAciency.
Government ownership and opera
tion of railroads was characterized as
"not conducive to the highest eco
nomic efAciency of the country," and
It was suggested that "private initi
ative. enterprise and responsibility in
creation, extension, improvement and
operation should, as a matter o'f na
tional policy, be fostered and pre
served."

Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known
Ohio Physician
Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated
scores of women for liver and bowel ail
ments. During these years he gave to
his patients a prescription made of a
few well-known vegetable ingredients
mixed with olive oil, naming them
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. You will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a
normal action, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter in one's system.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets nightly for
a time and note the pleasing results.
Thousands of women as well as men
take Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets—the
successf ui substitute for calomel—now
and then just tokeepin the pink of condi
tion. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

Indigestion and practically alt I

cal authorities, are due nine times |

stomach" is exceedingly dangerous :
'and sufferers should do either one of
I two things.
Either they can go on a limited j
and often disagreeable diet, avoiding
I foods that disagree with them, that !
irritate the stomach and lead to ex- ;
cess acid secretion or they can cat
as they please In reason and make
it a practice to counteract the ef
fect of the harmful acid and prevent !
the formation of gas. sourness or |
premature fermentation by the fise n
of a little Blsurated Magnesia at their i
meals. I
! There is probably no better, safer j
!or more reliable stomach antlacid ;
than Blsurated Magnesia and It is
1 widely used for this purpose. It has 1
■ no direct action on the stomach and \
lis not a digestent. But a teaspoon- '
If ui of the powder or a couple of live i
grain tablets taken in a little water !
with the'food will neutralize the ex- j
I cess acidity which may be present j
and prevent its further formation. I
j Tliis removes the whole cause of the |
trouble and the meal naturally :
and healthfully without need of pep- '
sin pills or artificial digestents.
Get a few ounces of Blsurated Mag- |
nesla from G. A. Gorgas or any re- 1
liable druggist. Ask for either powder j
or tablets. It never comes as a liquid,
niilk or citrate and the bisurated I
form is not a laxative. Try this plan I
and eat what you want at your next |

How To Get Rid

of oruinury lli-neaia in a little hot
water lininediuteiy after eating." The
authority lor tne above statement,
wno ims spent years In European
countries investigating the results
iroiu Hie use ui the product known
uniong drug-girls here as Ml-nesln,
ciuuiis that me remarkuble and In
slant relief winch almost invariably
loiiuvvs Its use is due to tne fact that
it neutralizes stomach acid and stops
toou leriiicnluliun, thus giving nature
a chance to proceed with its work,
without hindrance. Inusniuch as
Iki-ueaui, which is obtainable of
George A. Uorgus and all other lead
ing druggists in both powder und tab
let form, is sold under a binding guar
antee of satisfaction or money back,
those who suiter from stomuch trou
ble should give 't a trial. It certainly
is worth iOc to get rid of indigestion.
Moreover, If yours happens to be one
of those rare cases not benefited, you
can have your money back for the
asking und the trial will have cost you
nothing. Try Hl-nealu to-day.
