RALSTON ASSERTS PAST IS ESSENTIAL TO iVORLD PEACE Democratic Editors of State Elect Vincennes Man President. America can not stay apart from the world, Senator-elect Samuel M. Ralston declared at the banquet of the Democratic State Editorial Association at the Claypool Thursday night. He said that if America had entered the League of Nations, its influence would have prevented much of the present trouble in Europe. The League, he said, may have to be modified to meet new conditions, but America must eventually and should immediately take a part in world affairs looking toward permanent peace.

You, too. must know of this cough and cold medicine that millions of people have found to be quicker and better than the old style ones, in breaking up any annoying, dangerous cold and cough! It is so inexpensive too! Why, one bottle saves any family about $3.00 —and the very first dose usually brings wonderful surprising relief, although it does not contain chloroform or opiates. It is so refreshingly pure that its soothing, healing, laxative tonic action just drives the worst colds and coughs right out —the sneezing, snuffling, clogged nostrils, and the tickling, strangling, smothering cough is conquered, and blessed restful sleep can be enjoyed. Ordinary head, throat and chest colds are subdued, often in 24 hours or less! Old chronic cases of from two to twenty years standing—chronic bronchitis —seem to yield in a few days to this most successful of all cough medicines —Mentho-Laxene. There is none like it—none so good—none so quick—none so inexpensive! REWARD:—The Blackburn Products Company, Dayton, Ohio, hereby offer a Reward of SIOOO if every letter published is not the genuine unsolicited expression of the users of their medicine, given without pay of any kind.

BANKER CHARGES GERMAN CURRENCY FLOOD DISHONEST inflated to Sidestep Payment, Harris Tells Tax Conference. Cancellation of Prance’s war debt will not prevent another world conflagration, said H. Archibald Harris, Chicago, counselor on accounting and taxation for the Indiana Bankers’ Association, at a tax conference in the Claypool today. “Dire prophecies are being made that France will not succeed in col-1 leotion from Germany,” he said. "I j believe Germany can pay and that j she should pay as honestly as did' France in 1870, instead of inflating her currency to the bursting point to j avoid payment. “American taxpayers should be paid j for their investment In Liberty bonds, for which they now are paying through taxes, instead of being reimbursed by countries for whom the money was borrowed by the government. “What the foreign debt means to America can be seen from the fact that $100,000,000 already have been paid by Great Britain. This has proved to be a very important factor in reducing an expected deficit in our own budget. The agreement made by England and America will bring Into the treasury $150,000,000 a year,
