Stay-at-homes May Have

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 4.—
Stay-at-homes of all fighting na

go about in strange get-ups, so
thart tihelr armies may be properly

This has been the experience of
the Teuton powers aud govern

Don't stay headachy, sick

Enjoy life! Remove the liver
and bowel poison which is keeping
your head dizzy, your tongue
coated, breath offensive, and
stomach sour. Don't stay bilious,
sick, headachy, constipated and
full of cold. Why don't you get
a box of Cascarets from the drug
store and eat one or two tonight
and enjoy the nicest, gentlest
liver and bowel cleaning you ever
eiperienced. You will wake up
feeling fit and fine. Cascarets
never gripe or sicken like salts,
pills and calomel. They act so
gently that you hardly realize you

shoes now being made for next

starters in what the board will do.
Shoes and clothes are so scarce
in Austria-Hungary and Germany
that the government is seriously
considering a citizen suggestion
that civilian dead, rich and poor,
great and humble, lie burled in
gingham instead of their "Sun

may have their apparel.

which we are now dealing.
All Resources Must Be
Completely Mobilized
I "As our own experience de
velops difficulties and makes It
'clear what they are, I have deem
ed it my duty to remove those
j difficulties wherever I have the
I legal power to do so. To assume
control of the vast railway sys
tems of the country is. 1 realize,
| a very great responsibility, but to
I fu.il to do so in tlie existing cir
leunrtHtances would have been much
'greater. 1 assumed tbe less re

"I am sure that I am speaking

cans when I say that it Is our
duty as the representatives of
tlie nation to do everything that
lt Is necessary to do to secure the
complete mobilization of the
whole resources of America by as
rapid and effective means as can
be found. Transportation sup
plies all the arteries of mobiliza

necessary unM'ication undrr the

in eliarre of the great railway
properties; and we did try lt. The
directors of the railways respond
ed to the need promptly and gen
erously.
Praise for Men Who
Strove Unsuccessfully
"The group of railway execu
tives who were charged with the
task of actual co-ordination and
general direction performed their
difficult-duties with p.-triotic zeal
and marked ability as was to have
been expected and did, I believe,
evertyliing that it was possible for
them to do In the circumstances.
If 1 have taken the task out of
their hands lt has not been be
cause there were some thing*
which the government can do and
private management cannot. We
shall continue to value most high
ly the advice and assistance of
these gentlemen and I am sure we
shall not find them withholding
It.
"It had become unmistakably
plain that only under government
administration can the entire
equipment of the several systems
of transportation be fully and
unreservedly thrown into a com
mon service without Injurious dis
crimination against particular
properties. Only under govern
ment administration can an abso-
lutely unrestricted and unembar
rassed common use be made of all
tracks, terminals, terminal facili
ties and equipment of every kind".
Only under tfhat authority can
new terminals be constructed and
developed without regard to the
requirements of limitations of par
ticular roads. But under govern
ment administration all these
things will be possible—not in
stantly, but as fast as practical
difficulties, which cannot be mere
ly conjured away, give way before
the new management.
Must Not Disturb
Things Needlessly
"The, common administration
will be carried out with as little
disturbance of the present operat
ing organizations and personnel
of the railways as possible. Noth
ing will be altered or disturbed
which It is not necessary to dis
turb. We are serving the public
Interest and safeguarding the pub

promptly as c'rcunistances permit.
"I need not point out tlie «'s
sentlrtl iuritice of such guarant"es
nnd their great Influence and sig
nificance as elements in tlie pres
ent financial and industrial situa
tion of the country. Indeed, one
of tlie strong argumi'iits for as
suming control of tlie railroads
at tills time !s the financial argu
ment. It is necessary that the
values of railway securities should
be justly and fairly protected and
that the large financial operations
every year neiess.ijw in connection
witli the maintenance, operation
and development of the radv
sJiould, during tlie period of the
war, be wisely related to the fin
ancial operations of the govern
mnet.
"Our first duty Is, of course, to
conserve the common iutoreat
and the common safety and to
make certain that nothing stands
In the way of the successful
prosecution of the great war for
liberty and justice, but lt Is also
an obligation of public conscience
nnd of public honor that the pri
vate Interest., we disturb should
be kept safe from unjust injury
and it is of the utmost conse
«iuence to the government itself
that all great financial operations
should be stabilized and co-ordi
nated with the financial opera
tions of the government.
Solidity of Financial
Structure Important
"No borrowing should run
athwart the borrowings of the
federal treasury and no funda
mental Industrial values should
anywhere be unnecessarily im
paired. In the hands of many
thousands of small Investors in
the country, as well as In na
tional banks, in insurance com
panies, in savings banks, ln trust
companies, ln fanaucial agencies
of every kind, railway securities,
the sum total of which runs up
to some ten or eleven thousand
iniliiins, constitute a vital part of
the structure of credit and the
unquestioned solidity of that
structure 11111*1 be maintained.
"The secretary of war and I
easily agreed that, In view of the
many complex Interests which
must be safeguarded and harmon
ized, as well as because of his ex
ceptional experience and ability
ln this new field of governmental
action, the Hon. William G. Me-
Adoo was the right man to as

I w«as badly ruptured while lift

Doctors said my only hope of cure
