Austfiahs Ftflht Savagily. There is no evidence of lowered morale in the savage resistance of the Austrians before the Italian attacks in tlie Brenta and Piave sectors in Italy. It would appear that the allied forces there have not been able to move ahead except by dint of terrific effort and at a very low pace. It seems probable that the offensive will develop into a reconnoissance in force instead of a real offensive.

STOMACH TROUBLE AND CONSTIPATION ENDED

Suffered So He Couldn't Work For a Year, but Mr. McCormick Was Cured Promptly.

I had stomach trouble and constipation for five years. One year of this time I was unable to work, suffering untold agony. I doctored with some of the beat physicians, also took many proprietary medicines, but could not find permanent relief. Finally a friend recommended Milks' Emulsion. The first few doses relieved me greatly, and three bottles of it effected a permanent cure."—C. A. McCormick, Anderson, Ind.

Mr. McCormick is only one of many hundreds who have endured torture t?r

and then found that Milks

Emulsion gives blessed relief and real, lasting benefit. It costs nothing to try —it is strongly guarantees^.

Milks' Emulsion is a pleasant, nutritive food and a corrective medicine. It restores healthy, natural bowel action, doing away with all need of puis and physics. It promotes appetite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food. As a builder of flesh and strength, Milks' Emulsion is strongly recommended to run-down, nervous people, and It has produced amazirig results in many cases of tuberculosis of the lungs. Chronic stomach trouble and constipation are promptly relieved—usually in one day.

This is the only solid emulsion made, and so palatable that it is eaten with a spoon like ice cream. A truly wonderful medicine for weak, sickly children.

No matter how sever® yoar ease, you are urged to try Milks' Emulsion under this guarantee—Take six bottles home with you, use it according to directions and if not satisfied with the results your moneV will be promptly refunded. Price *0c and $1.20 per bottle. The Milks Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.—Advt.

among all the nations consenting to th© peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.' of course, meant to suggest no restriction upon the free determination by any nation of its own economic policy, but that whatever tariff any nation might deem necessary for its own economic service that tariff, high or low, should apply equally to all foreign nations in other words, that there should be no discrimination against some nations that did not apply to others. This leaves ev^rv nation free to determine for itself its own internal policies, and limits only its right to compound these policies of hostile discriminations between one nation and another. Weapons of economic discipline and punishment should be left to the joint action of all nations for the purpose of punishing those who will not submit to a general program of justice and equality. "The experiences of the past among nations have taught us that the attempt by one nation to punish another by exclusive and discriminatory trade agreements has been a prolific breeder of that kind of antagonism which often times results in war and that if a permanent peace is to be established among nations every obstacle that has stood in th# way of international friendship should be cast aside. It was with that fundamental purpose in mind that I announced this principle in my address of January 8. To pervert this great principle for partisan purposes and to inject the bogey of free trade which is not involved at all, is to attempt to divert the mind of the nation from the broad and humane principle of a durable peace by introducing an internal question of quite another kind, American business has in the past been unaffected by a policy of the kind suggested and it has nothing to fear now from a policy of simple international justice. It is indeed lamentable that the momentous Issues of this solemn hour should be seized upon in an effort to bend them to partisan service. To the discerning the motive is transparent and the attempt fails. Sincerelv yours, "WOODROW WILSON.-

Following is the letter of Senator Simmons: "Dear Mr. President—Certain republican leaders are attempting to make a partisan use of paragraph three of your peace terms, found in your address to congress, Jan. 8, 1918. No one has authority to reply to a misconstruction of any part of your address excepting yourself, but I, as a chairman of the finance committee of the senate, wish you would make reply to these statements and insinuations, which are being industriously circulated by the opposition to embarrass you in the handling of these delicate matters. Sincerely yours, "P. M. SIMMONS."

This advertisement IS written Monday, October 21st. It is directed to the attention of all distributors of Vick's VapoRub, both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such as the present epidemic—our duty—and your duty—is to distribute VapoRub in the quickest possible manner to those sections stricken by Influenza. We, therefore, call your careful attention to the following: DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP

On October 1st we had on hand, at our Factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st. allowing for a 50% increase over last year's sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stock had been accumulated during the summer months.

Then this epidemic of Spanish Jnfluenza hit us—and In the last 10 days this stock has vanished. At first we thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run

TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY Most of this tremendous quantity is still en route to the Jobbers, but freight and express are both congested nowadays, and it: may be some time before this supply reaches the Jobbers. In the meantime, therefore, it is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing daily, together with that now on the jobbers' and retailers' shelves, in order that it may get to the influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE

NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORU®. In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub—that is, applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths—our customers ara writing us daily telling of their success in using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt., a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt it in a benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, VapoRub can be used in an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill the tea kettle half full of boiling water, put in: half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle Just slowly: boiling and inhale the steam arising.

According to a Bulletin just issue.T by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles, Of this Service, recommends that the nose be kept greased as a preventive measure against the Influenza germs. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent.
