What is so rare as a clay in June when it doesn’t rain? After a M-iy with only halt' a dozen clays of sunshine the old fashioned June wi h bright sunshinny, growing weather will certainly he welcomed this year. Every man who has reached his twenty-first birthday and has not yet arrived at his thirty-first must register next Tuesday, if you have any argument to present why you should ne t serve as a soldier you will be given the opportunity to do so at proper time but YOU MUST REGISTER NOW. Charles A. Greathouse- for democratic state chairman sounds good to us. He is a real leader and a man who would at once gather behind him evttry faction of the party and eve fighter for the 1 principles of di tn-. ■ racy. No better choice can be ni. I and we are glad to hear that il is splendid, dean, fighting democrat is willing to lead us to a splendid victory and that's just what he will da if giv.-.i command. We ask you each and every one to read earc t'uiiy the words of A reader” on the first page of to-day s paper the thoughts of a good Am r lean citizen who was hern in G< - many but who appreciates the opportunities given him when his fatt r and mother gathered up their lit I family and came to this greatest 1 ml beneath the sun. A hater of war h? ; also a lover of his country and hq will stand loyally and faithfully back ol it. Not to register next Tuesday i • .. misdemeanor if you are twenty-one years old and not thirty-one. men. io try to prevent registration is trea.o.i punishable by a heavy tine and imprisonment and in times of war by the death penalty. We tire at war. Tit ■ plea for those so required, to register, is not a bluff but is absolutely necessary. if you are a man within th age, no difference what your opinion or your physical condition, ye n regt--ter. Take no chances on mixing with the government during war times, thou the safe side and follow nistructions. Paul Poynter, editor d the Sulliva 1 Times lias published a comprehensivestatement of conditions as they ex-t in Sullivan county.

The exiu* ' I being given is that cars cannot be obtained, yet Mr. Poynter discovered • ixty cars at one station. >vith bit I nests In the trucks, proving they had ( stood there for weeks He also dis- , Levered that the railroads are se m- i Ing their coal for two dollars a ton J while the people pay conxidert.bl.- ■ more It looks as though it is time lor action. Governor Goodrii h several weeks ago started the public service commission at work on this important

subject but they have so far failed to 'produce action, and it is hinted Hu t it is because they not the power. Well lets give them t ie power ev n if it takes an extra se : of the legislature. Right now action should be taken for if the coal is not , reduced in the next few months th -n will be a real shortag< next fall .nd winter and thousands will suffer as a result and the prices will be be- . yond the reach of many. We appeal to Governor Goodrich and we appt.il to the people of the state to urge ni .1 Ito take w hatever action is necessary at this time to make the coal mine owners step lively. « -■—aauaßQflDcx x « DOINGS IN SOCIETY | u saner.::;xx:2<xx:<xxxxxi£x>a<: a’ WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

WAR IS TEST FOR NATION. Washington. June 1. — (Special to Daily Democrat.) A great war ! a nation's supreme test. To eondm ' a war successfully requires the marshal ling of all the nation's resources ,e i -veil as its physical strength. It is the part of the young men to make bnation's physical strength felt on the tiring line. It is the part of those who cannot give their services at the fr mt ’ to he the sustaining forces behind t Inline. h is the part of the women t fill in the roles that the men have i been playing and to keep up the na lion’s efficiency. It is the part of those who can afford it to lend their capital so enable the nation to prosecute th- -- war with the greatest effectiveness. The Liberty Ixian Offers This O| - portunity to Every American Patriot. * [i is inconceivable that the people s of the United States will ever be caked upon to meet the privations which i’ this war forced upon the people of " Europe. European nations have

ready expended fifty billions of dollars p of their resource-- to prosecute .1 e ’ war and their people have given. no> L only their lives, but they have subb jected themselves to tremendous <;<• rifices in every way. Five million 5 European homes have been visited Ir. death itself. Eine cities have give t ’ place to ruins. Rich and poor hav ■ gone on government food rations, individual liberty has been sacrificed to national unity of action in order gain national effeciency. Women, v’m have been accustomed to fine doilies and the constant round of entertainment. have taken their plate as day laborers in munition factories. All of this sacrifice has been mad for a cause that is as much ours ttheirs. The voilation of the neutrality of Belgium was just as much an a 1 front to America as to Great Brit-iii . German autocracy threatens the perpetuity of Uee institutions evc.y i where alike. The important thing uow is tor Americans to realize that this is our war and as participants, we must do our utmost to bring it to a successful [conclusion. The thing which is most

available and which can be given ui once is our wealth It is the patriotic ' duty therefore, of Americans to help make the Liberty Loan'an overwhelming success.

June 5. 1917, established by precla mation Ly the President of the I nite I States, is the time upon which till shall present themselves for assig 1nient to their tasks. It is for tr.it reason destined to he remembered a one of the most conspicuous moments in our history, it is nothink loss th n the day upon which the/nanhood of the country shall step foreward in one solid rank in defence of the ideals to which this nation is consecrate J. It is important to those ideals no less than to the pride of this generation in manifesting its devotion to hem that there be no gaps in the ranks. It Is essential that the day be approached in thoughtful apprehension of its significance anchthat we accord to it the honor and meaning that :-t deserves. Our industrial need p>< - scribes that it not be made a technical holiday, but the stern sacrifice that before us urges that it be carried all our hearts as a great day of patriotic devotion and obligation whop the duty shall He •upon every man whether he is himself to be registered or not. to see to it that every male person of the designated ages is written on the lists of honor.

I hail no desire for food and what little 1 did eat didn't agree with me. 1 was so constipated that 1 had to use laxatives all the time. M.' kidneys bothered me. too. 1 had se vere pains in my back often. "I knew several persons in Michi gan City who indorsed Tanlac and 1 asked them about the medicine.

I've tak on two of Tanlac now and my stomach has been placed in such good condition that I'm eating my meals regularly again and am enjoying my food thoroughly. Everything I eat is digested properly. The con stipation has disappeared entirely. I'm gaining tn strength every day now and feel better than for months.'
