THE J>AN( ER TO OIK GERMANS.
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal of Rus-
sell, Mo., who describes himself as
a pure-blooded German, all of whose
ancestors for many generations have
been born in Germany and lived in
Germany, looks at the German-
Ainerican situation from a new awl
interesting angle. Giving advice to
hi«* fellow German-Americans, he
says:
"I would rather not take chances
for myself and my children as
Americans on any treatment Ger
many might accord us if it were able
to dictate terms of peace in or to
the United States. In that day it
will be better to be of any other
blood than German. For of all Amer-
icana, I fancy, the American of Ger-
man ancestry 1b the most cordially
hated by the militarists of Germany.
It behooves all Americans of Ger-
man ancestry to be especially zeal-
ous for our nation, for they have
moat to lose/'
Judge Ruppenthal probably has
good reason for this view. It is well
known that the Germans who came
to America were generally regarded
in the fatherland, before the war, as
a faort of renegade. The kaiser was
notoriously scornful of them. It was
hard for the Americans in question
to appreciate this fact; it is hard for
them now; but, according to some
of the most enlightened of their own
racial group, the best thing for them
to do is to face the facts.
Their own relatives and friends,
the average Germans, back in the
fatherland, do not hate them. But
the militarists who control the army
and the government do hate them.
Those militarists fawned on them
early in the war, in the hope that
they would serve Germany by pull-
ing the Prussian chestnuts out of
the American fire. Many German-
Americans were sufficiently deluded
to fall in with this scheme, to thoir
own great misfortune. They failed
as Germans and also as Americans.
This country has, In general, for-
given them because nearly all of
them finally came to see the error
of their wages. The German ruling
class has not forgiven thefn. It
hates them all for their failure to
bring America under the sway of
Prussianisin and keep us out of the
war while the Gorman government
worked its brutal will on civiliza-
tion.—Ex.

FINE FOR RHEUMATISM!
Musterole Loosens Up Those
Stiff Joints—Drives Out Pain
You'll know why thousands use Mus-
terole once you experience the glad re-
lief it gives.
Get a jar at once from the nearest
drug store. It is a clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard. Better
than a mustard plaster and does not
blister. Brings ease and comfort while
it is being rubbed on!
Musterole is recommended by many
doctors and nurses. Millions of jars are
used annually for bronchitis, croup, stiff
neck, asthma, neuralgia, pleurisy, rheu-
matism, lumbago, pains and aches of the
back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of
the chest (it often prevents pneumonia).

All Shawnee church-going folks
say that the A1 Jennings-Scottie
meeting Is sure reaching the people
of this city.
The choir is slowly hut surely
growing. Last night there were a
few seats vacant. Mr. Shields hope:-
to have every seat taken before an
oiher week rolls 'round.
It was remarkable to see how
many people stood up and told what
good they had already received In
the few nights of Evangelist Jen
nings' preaching. No speaker ever
held the attention of his audience as
does Mr. Jennings. This is mostly
clue to the fact that he is preaching
Jesus and His way of ministering
to the lost world.
Considering that this company of
lellgious workers has only been in
our city five nights, beginning last
Sunday, it is short of u miracle the
start this meeting has had. for the
same people are coming every night
and they believe in Mr. Jennings as
was evidenced by the bursts of ap-
plause at each meeting.
Men and women gather around Mr
Jennings after every sermon and
tell him how they really enjoyed his
talk and how much he is doing for
them. It is an opportunity for
Shawnee people to hear real old-
fashioned preaching," tho kind we
used to hear when we were boys,"
as one old man said.
One old man remarked that A1
Jennings was so much like his fath-
er that it was quite natural for A1
to be a good speaker for the old
Judge Jennings was a silver tongued
orator in his day in this community.
Mrs. Martin wan playing as usual
some of her great selections as the
great crowd poured into the Con-
vention Hall. There was a feeling
of Rood cheer and happiness for
song leader Shields is always smil-
ing and making other people smile
and laugh with his wit and fun
among the members of tho chorus.
It's really a pleasure to sing with
tills man. The music during this
revival has its part.
After Scottie had made some re-
marks of how Mr. Shields had
turned down larger salaries to stay
with Mr. Jennings In this work. Mr.
Shields took his usual easy attitude
near the piano and simply lifted the
great sea of faces to some now level
as he sang "Hold Thou My Hand,
Pear Lord." As the last high note
died away the burs t of applause
must have demonstrated to Mr.
Shields what his hearers think of
l is voice Ono party remarked It
was simply Heavenly the way Mr.
Shields sings and so easy. Mr. Jen-
rings told the big crowd he had of-
fered his services to Mr. Wilson,
and here the cheering was loud,
but Mr. Wilson had not been able
to use him any way. "We are in this
wa * and we must win in the next
year over in liurope else they will
be on our shores hero at home. If
we had more Christ ideas in our
minds this war would not be today
at all." Then Mr. Jennings turned
to his Bible and read a few verses
from John 16. The lack of space
forbids us from quoting the wonder-
ful story told by the "little minis-
ter" Many were drying their eyes
and some were angry to learn that
such cruel treatment could be mens
ured out to men in some of our
prisons in tills Christian nation.
When Mr. Jennings finished this
Ms best story so far. the audience
seemed to linger and slowly and
quietly they filed out of the hall,
still wishing Mr. Jennings had
preached another hour. The Arm-
strong Music Company have furnish-
ed one of their best pianos to Mr.
Jennings and Scottie for this meet-
ing. I*RESS COMMITTEE.
URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOUS THE KIDNEYS.
I Take a Glass of Salts If Your Hack
Hurts or itiadder Bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that moat
forms uric acid which almost para-
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery In the kid-
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tonguo is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the ehan.
nela often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast will
then act fine. This famous r.alts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with llthla,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes a delightful effer-
vesceut lithia-water drink.- Adv.

Unless there Is a change in their
original plans the emissaries of Rus-
sia and the central powers will meet
again today to resume discussion of
the peace terms designated by the
Russians as unacceptable.
The Russians have suggested meet-
ing at Stockholm which if agreed to
by the Germans will make further do-
luy.
A news dispatch says that tho Rus-
sians have made new terms to the
Germans. They will be considered at
Brest, which indicates that the Rus-
sians have not insisted on the demand
that further conferences ho on neu-
tral soil.
Nothing has occured to break the
inactivity of the infantry on the west-
ern and Italian fronts. Small raids
have taken place here and there, and
German fire has been strong on the
western front.
CHRISTMAS LATE'
AND LASTED LONG
By Associated Press.
GREAT LAKES. 111., Jan. 4 —Christ-
mas at Great I^akes extended over a
period seldom equalled in civilian life.
This will explain to many wives,
sweethearts and friends why they
haven't received a letter of thanks
from the Jackie to whom a present
was sent. Santa Claus was away be-
hind in his deliveries. ^
When Christmas was sev&al days
past there still were several thousand
packages of mail undelivered. So rap-
idly did the mail accumulate that it
was impossible for a force double or-
dinary sizo to aort and deliver the
many gifts sent to the boys in train-
ing at Great Lakes.
So don't worry if you haven't heard
from Jackie. He probably will ac-
knowledge the gift before he goes to
NEW BUILDINGS
AT GREAT LAKES
U) Associated Press.
GREAT LAKES, 111.. Jan. 4* Jack-
ios at Great I^akes and Captain Wil-
li trol broke out today. The blaze was
" discovered in a six story building oc-
cupied by the Catti-McQuade Co.,
mill supply manufacturers, in the
barred zone. All the fire apparatus
iii Hohoken was called out to pre-
vent the spread of the flames to the
Hudson river piers and the muni-
tions factories near by.
Two hours after the fire started
the flames continued to make head-
way They had spread to a num-
ber of structures and the civilians
were called on to aid. Further de-
tails oT soldiers were called out.
Owing to the cold weather the
water pressure was poor.
The burning building occupies al-
most an entire block. The wind
blowed sparks to the water's edge,
where a numbor of munitions ships
are moored.
CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
. Draught Relieved.
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat*
rick, of this place, writes: "I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They woulij
gripe me and afterwards It seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I ieard of Black-Draught and de-
elded to try It. I found it jus? what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom-
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black.
Oraught for it is the finest laxative
one can use."
Thedford's Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in Its action, leaving no
bad after-effects, It has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used

If this world affords true happiness,

where the necessities of life come with-

only after their cost has been carefully
considered. We are told that wealth
is a test of character—few of us have
to submit to It. Poverty is the more
usual test. It Is difficult to be very
poor and maintain one's self-respect.—

Entertain When Delayed.
When a train is held up in South
Africa the passengers readily adapt
themselves to the situation. One con-
genial custom is to elect an entertain-
ment committee. On one occasion a
very successful concert was given by
the passengers and staff at the Rail-
way Institute, Beaufort West by which
$35 was released in aid of the Red
Cross fund. A somewhat uncommon
turn to the Beaufort folk was un ex-
hibition bout by Harold Butler (stew-
ard on the train), who gave Chief
Steward McMickan three sharp rounds
and took on a soldier directly after-
wards for the 8urae period. Some very
original comic songs were well appre-
ciated. An incident worthy of note
was an amusing absurdity, called "The
Waiter," written on the spur of tho
moment by two stewards and n fair
"damsel" who afterwards turned out
to be a Ml*, nnd not a Miss. The eve-
ning concluded with a dance, nnd it
helped to pas's a pleasant few hours
while waiting for the line to be
cleared.

It's Easy—If You Know Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to feel
young — to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels — there's no need of
having a sallow complexion — dark rings
under your eyes — pimples — a bilious
look in your face — dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of ail sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com-
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should bo enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear-
ing the system of impurities.
You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive Tab-
lets by their olive color# 10c and 25c pel
box. All druggists.
