This is the only way to.designate either of this class of people. You are either a 100 per cent American in all that the name implies or you:are an enemy of theigovernment. You are either for or against. : 2 i If you are disposed to act or feel like a-pacifist, keep it te yourself; or if you influence anyone else in any way along those lines, you are a traitor to that.extent because you withhold your| strength from the government and it is that strength that is now vitally essential. Siihe 3 ‘ If a pacifist, by ‘argument or influence, is this sort: of a traitor, he is in the same class with the man in the trenches that|" deserts at the critical moment in the. fight. L The biggest thing in history is-taking place: at this time and every man with a clear eyed vision of:his full: duty will seize the great opportunity to do his full share. To buy a bqnd or contribute to the Red Cross does not make anyone a patriot. It is only when you do: everything that lies in your power to do- that-you find the full:measure and privilege of pat):lohsm. If you fail to do that, just to that extent are you betraying the cause that every decent man in the world-is fighting for. Resources count in this war fully as much as the men. If our armies are not supplied—and the only-way this can be done is by the people at home—they will faiPin their battles, . Fail- ure of supplies, or in their source, makes a weak spot in thej . line. The weak spot will surely result in the loss of life at the front,-the loss of a big battle, the taking of prisoners—and’it prolongs the war. It may-mean the loss of it. If industry is-interrupted and supplies fail to reach our]-- soldiers through the indifference of any man or body of men, just to that extent do they become responsible for the spilling of life blood by the men who are fighting for -him that -he and his family may enjoy the blessings and opportunities of free- dom and democracy. This applies to men in every walk of life, the employer, the laborer, the farmer, the professional man, the commercial man. . The responsibility rests on every- one alike. The. Public Safety Commission feels that its first great ef- fort should be made towards bringing every Minnesotan to a full realization of his individual responsibility in this crisis in order th4t, as a whole, we may make. our state do its full duty, that it may be made efficient to the last degree by and through the unified effort of its citizens. . All questions.can well be sub- jugated to this one.great patriotic effort because we have a war to win and. nothing else can be of vital consequence until this is done. ki . It ain’t the individual : _Nor the army as a whole - “"But the everlasting teamwork . Of Every Blooming Soul. ¢ ~—Rudyard Kipling. _ ~MISTRUST ‘BREED’S FALSE RUMORS It is undoubtedly true,-as asserted in "a recent plea to editors-to check false war rumors, that.enemy agents have been busy starting depressing gossip in:this country. It is undoubt- edly .true that such gossip has the effect desired by ‘its' authors. But it is also true that most of such..gossip would make no progress ‘whatever if the -people felt that they could depend absolutely upon the administration at ' Washington to give them prompt and accurate information concerning things which may properly be made public. - Whenever the people of the country can feel confident that “if it hasn’t been announced by the Bureau of Information it isn’t true,” they will cease to pay any attention whatever to idle or malicious rumors. Unfortunately the people still have in mind instancés in which the giving out of important news was needlessly delayed, and they can not forget the instance in which-important news was “elaborated.” That the cause of the United States has suffered from such a policy is not the fault of the newspapers nor of the people; but of the officials through whom both press and people had a right to expect frank information. Whenever the official pub- licity bureau restore themselves in the confidence of the people, the_gossip mongers will be out of a job. s & v PR, W —— Perhaps after reading of the action taken by many scht'6? authorities in the United-States, the Kaiser may conclude that if he wants to maintain a place in world trade after the war hehWiIn have to make English a- required study in all.

Kramer's Discovery Eatonic Go where gou will, in city, town or country, and: you will hear people talking about H. L. Kramer’s latest success, EATONIC,the wonderful new relief for ifidigestion and all stomach distress after eating. Druggists say that in EATONIC, Mr. Kramer has even'a greater preparation than Cascarets, which he originated years ago. This, of course, is_a subject that comes home to_practically everyone. Very few people, indeed, are entirely free from stomach misery in-some g, form. The man or'woman, who has never experienced the dull, ‘‘lump- ish”’ feeling of - distress ‘that results from a heavy meal;-is surely the rare exception. 'And it is, therefore, not - s matter for wonder that EATONIC is universally. hailed with gratitude as a great deliverance, EATONIO is a scientific prepara- tion carefully thoufihp out, for the purpose of mneutralizing the excess acids that produce stomach miseries. EATONIC acts almost instantly. You eat-a tablet after meals — distress . quickly disappears—stomach be- comes ‘‘sweet’’—no gas or bloat—no belching and repeating of bitter, half- digested food. H. L. Kramer, originator. of EATONIC, says: § “I-am proud of EATONIC. The remarkable results already proved in - tens of thousands of cases are m{ ample reward for the hard work have devoted to the bringing ouf of EATONIC.. Now I have the greatest. . satisfaction of knowing—absolutely—. at EATONIC will do ev that I planned for it to do. I strongly urge every man and woman with'a bad digestion to tr{ EATONIC at once on my advice. ] state positively with all the emphasis and sincerity at my command that it - is_now no longer necessary for any one to endure the miseries: and dis- comforts of a weak, ailing stomach. Just one large 50c box of EATONIC will prove that I am right.
