President Wilson and Democratic
House Sure.
Nashville,Tenn.—"When I was going |
through the Change of Life I had a tu-
-imor as largo as a
child's heud. The
doctor said it was
three years coming
and gave me medi-
cine for it until I
was called away
from the city for
some time. Of
course I could not
go to him then, so
my sister-in-law told
me that she thought
Lydia E. Pinkham'B Vegetable Com-
pound would cure it. It helped both
the Change of Life and the tumor and
when I got home I did not need the doctor.
I took the PinkWkm remedies until the
tumor was gone, the doctor said, and I
have not felt it since. I tell every one
how I was cured. If this letter will
help others you are welcome to use it."

Representative Doremus, Fresh From
Travel Throughout the Country,
Tells of the Sentiment
of the People.
Prediction that President Wilson
md a Democratic house will be re-
turned by the people at the November
elections Is made In a statement made
publle by Representative F. E. Dore-
nus, chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional compalgn committee. A
singling among the people of the
?ountry can do nothing but develop
his opinion, he Bays. Following Is the
I statement:
"In certain Inspired quarters sedu-
'ous attempts are being made to cre-
ite the Impression that despite the
1 tremendous popularity of President
Wilson the Democrats entertain slight
lope of winning the next congress.
One Indication of this propaganda Is
ihown by the wide publicity that has
ittended the announcements of Rep-
resentatives Page of North Carolina.
Kagle of TexaB and Sherwood of Ohio
that they will not seek re-election.
"Of course the North Carolina and
Texas districts are sure to send Dem
Jcrats to the Sixty-fifth congress, and
'.he same may be said of the Toledo
llstrlct. It can safely be predicted
that Representative Sherwood will be
succeeded by a Democrat, in fact, I
zonslder the election of a Democrat
n the Toledo district as one of the
certainties of the campaign.
"if any man doubts what the sen-
timent of this country is today, he
should go out and mingle with the
people, as I dfd for two weeks. No
matter In what section of the country
he may go, he will come home firm
In the conviction that President Wil-
son and a Democratic congress In
sympathy with him will be overwhelm-
ingly elected In November.
"1 know of but one way to accu-
rately determine public sentiment, and
that Is to talk face to face with those
who do the (voting. Any mar. who
-ares to employ that teBt will be con
vlnced of the truth of what 1 say.
"What Impresses me more than any-
thing else is the assurance that has
come to me recently of support from
Republican and Independent sources.
Men who have never voted the Dem-
acratlc ticket before frankly avow
their intention to vote and work for
a congress in sympathy with Mr. Wil-
son because they realize that the pres-
ident's hands would be tied if a Re
publican congress were elected.
"In 1914 for the first time In many
years the party In power retained
Its control of congress following a gen-
eral revision of the tariff. All the In-
dications are that thiB majority will be
substantially Increased this year and
notable gains made in the entire group
of doubtful districts."
TO KNOW IT"
The following unsolicited letter has
been received from Mr. J. F. Ward of
Donalda, Alberta. It is a plain state-
ment of conditions as Mr. Ward has
found them:

Plain Letter.
THOMAS J. PENCE IS DEAD
ure I drop a line to
you. We had a
good year. Off of 65 acres, oats and
wheat, I got over 2,500 bushels of
wheat and oats. Oats went here from
50 to 100 bushels per acre, and wheat
from 25 to 52 per acre. Just see ma
being here one year and have over 700
bushels of wheat. It is now over $1.00
per bushel. Oats is 42 cents, and go-
ing up. You told me the truth, and I
want the people of Toledo to know it.
Hogs are 8% cents; cattle are high.
Canada Is good enough for me. I have
5 good horses. I sold 2 good colts, 2
cows and 18 head of hogs and killed 2.
I have 6 hogs left. I got 400 bushels
of potatoes off an acre and & good
garden last summer, fine celery and
good onions. One neighbor had over
1,200 bushels of wheat, and sold over
$700 of hogs and 2,000 bushels of oats.
This Is a great country. If you should
tell the people of Toledo of this It
would get some of them thinking. The
soil is a rich black loam, and a pleas-
ure to work It.
"We have a good farm. We have a
flowing well with soft water. It Is
the best water In the country. Some
people think they got to go to war
when they come out here. They need
not be afraid of war. There Is no war
tax on land; only school tax, $12.00
on 160 acres, and road tax of two
days with your team. I tell you the
truth, there is no land In or around
Toledo as good as our land here in Al-
berta. If anybody wants to write us,
give them our address.
"We have had nice weather. We
have had It quite cold for one week,
but no rain and sleet, and the sun
shines nearly every day, and it is hot
In the sun. Coal is $2.25 per ton. The
people are very nice and good here.
We are well enjoying the West.
The horses and cows are feeding on
the prairies all the winter. We Just
have two horses in the stable to go to
town with. Yours truly, (Sgd.) J. F.

The tariff is only a part of the Un-
derwood revenue law. In reducing
taxes on consumption, of which th"
consumer pays far more than the gov
ernment receives, and substituting a
tax on Incomes, which falls on the
well-to-do In proportion to their ability
to contribute to tho support of the gov
ernment, the Democratic party has
been true to its promises, faithful tc
Its traditions and guided by the best
opinion of expert economists. The law
provided not only a sufficient revenue
but a surplus that covered the year's
costs of the Panama canal, until the
great war disarranged our Industrie?
and Interfered radically with our 1m

Iowa. I was there farming for 50
years. I sold my land there for over
$200 an acre. I moved to SaskatchV
wan, and located near Brlercrest In
the spring of 1912. I bought a half
section of land. I have good neigh-
bors. I feel quite at home here the
same as In Iowa. We have perfect
safety and no trouble in living up to
the laws In force. My taxes are about
$65 a year on the half section for ev-
erything. I have had splendid crops.
Wheat In 1915 yielded me over 50
bushels to the acre. That Is more than
I have ever had In Iowa, and yet the
land there costs four times as much
as it does here. The man who comes
here now and buys land at $50 an acre
or less gets a bargain. (Sgd.) S.

Stop using calomel! It makes you
sick. Don't lose a day's work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti-
pated. listen to me!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it. breaking
It up. This is when you feel that aw-
ful nausea and cramping. If you feel
"all knocked out," if your liver Is tor-
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Here's my guarantee—Go to any
drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a
spoonful and if It doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod-
son's Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
it cannot salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It Is harmless: doesn't
gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

Sussex, a Channel Steamer, Loaded
With Passengers, Sunk With-
out Warning.
Washington.—With all evidence in
dicating that the British channel
steamer Sussex, carrying American
citizens, was the victim of a torpedo,
it was stated authoritatively that if a
German submarine made the attack
the imperial government would dis-
avow the act, punish the submarine
commander, offer reparation and sat-
isfy the United States that the act was
in violation of instructions. Thus it
seems that the issue might narrow
down to the question of whether the
United States would be willing to ac-
cept such a declaration from the Ber-
lin government.
President Wilson is awaiting with
deep concern the receipt of conclusive
evidence, not only in regard to the
Sussex, aboard which several Ameri-
cans narrowly escaped death, but as
the sinking of the British steamer
Englishman. One American life was
lost when the Englishman went down.
J. Buckley, a horseman, was the Ameri-
can victim. About one hundred lives
were lost on the Sussex.
The president is seriously consider-
ing goins before congress and laying
the entire question of submarine war-
fare before the members of the sen-
ate and house. It is a certainty he
will communicate the situation to
congress before taking any stepj
which might lead to the severance ol
diplomatic relations.
Official expression of the official at
titude of the administration was
avoided but high officials made no at
tempt to minimize the gravity of tho
situation which will confront the
United States if it is established that
a German submarine sank the Sussex,
an unarmed, peaceful passenger carry-
ing vessel.
Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, who it was stated with
authority was chiefly responsible for
the retirement of Urand Admiral Tirp-
itz, has been out of town for several
days.
According to information here, the
ambassador was advised that Admiral
von Tirpitz proposed to conduct a re-
lentless submarine campaign against
all shipping to British ports and was
asked what, in his opinion, would be
the effect of such a campaign upon the
neutral nations, particularly the Unit-
ed States. The ambassador's reply Is
said to have been an important factor
In the retirement of the admiral.
Knowing these factions and the at-
titude of the German government, Teu-
tonic officials are certain that if a sub-
marine was concerned in the Sussex
dlsastar, the imperial government will
do everything In its power to satisfy
the United States.
PUNISHMENT
Tramp Objected to So Long a Sojourn
in a Town That Shall Re-
main Nameless.
A certain town—not the one you live
In, dear reader, but it's nearest and
dearest rlval-^was noted for being
dead slow. There was no amusement
in the place, not even so much as a
moving-picture show, and everybody
want to bed at nine o'clock every night
because there was no other place to
go.
One day a tramp was caught beg-
ging in the streets of this town and
was promptly arrested and arraigned
before the justice of the peace.
After hearing the evidence the mag-
istrate put on his sternest look and
said: "It appears from the testimony
presented here that you are a vagrant
without visible means of support. In
order that you may not become a
charge upon the taxpayers of a re-
spectable community 1 sentence you to
leave this town In three hours."
"Aw Judge," pleaded the tramp,
with a look of abject terror on his
face, "have a heart, won't yer? I
didn't do r.uthin' but ask a guy fer a
nickel. Please don't make me stay in
dis burg all dat time. Make it three
minutes, Judge, can't yer?"
His Unlucky Days.
Seated in & row on the porch of an
old-country inn, with their chairs
tipped back, some old cronies were go-
ing on about unlucky days. After all
had given what they considered their
unlucky days, a quiet old chap at one
end spoke up:
"Aa'll tell ye ma unlucky days. Aa's
fund oot in ma time that It's unlucky
to be struck wl' leetenlng on a Mon-
day; or te be catched wiv a circular
saw on a Tuesday; or te tumble over-
board on a Wednesday; or te be run

Feeling—

Daily food plays a big part, for unless it supplies
proper rebuilding elements, and is properly digested,
one's mental and physical power is bound to suffer.
Grape=Nuts
the whole wheat and malted barley food, provides all
the rich nutriment of the grains, including their vital
mineral salts—phosphate of potash, etc.—lacking in the
diet of many, but which are necessary for balanced up-
keep of body, brain and nerves.
Grape-Nuts has a delicate nut-like flavour, is always
ready to serve with cream or milk; is easily digestible;
and yields a wonderful return of health and energy.
