DFBS FOR PRESIDENT ,
The Socialist party of the United States
held the opening session of what they
called a mass convention, in Madison
Square Garden, N. Y., Sunday, May 9.
There were some 200 delegates and about
5,000 spectators present. The convention
was called for the purpose of nominating
a Socialist candidate for President of the
United States, and incidentally to air the
notions of the various brands and breeds
-of Socialism. The Sunday meeting was
a quiet one. The display of fireworks
opened Monday when Morris Hillquitt
introduced a “ teclaration of principles”
and a party platform for consideration
which, in substance, was a ‘‘demand for
popular administration of private prop
erty for the benefit of all.” This is what
“conservative socialism” proposes, and
means that private property is to be con
fiscated, put in control of men like Mr.
Hillquitt and the real owners of this
property are to receive such crumbs as
may be given them by men of his choos
ing. Socialism thus appears, at its best,
as something founded on theft. Of course
the men and women of this country who
have toiled and economized to establish a
home of their own will light for that
which is theirs. Of course conservative
Socialism knows that and therefore its
platform is in fact a declaration of war.
This, however, was not radical enough
to suit the extremists. Mr. J. Louis
Engdahl of Chicago voiced the aims and
purposes of radical socialism by saying:
“There is only one flag, the red flag of
international socialism. We can Jo noth
ing better than ally ourselves with our
comrades in Russia.” The radicals were
voted down in the convention but the
conservatives, in the debate, plainly
showed that they were a menace to the
welfare of the country. After several
days of deliberations (?) some inflamma
tory, some puerile and all antagonistic to
law and order, the convention procl imed
that Eugene V. Debs is the Socialist can
didate for President of the United States.
We iiave heard of only one delegate who
objected to the nomination. This was a
Mr Cannon who fired this shot: “For
heaven’s sake, let us have a candidate
wno is not in jail.” It will be remem
bered that Debs is now serving a sen
tence of ten years in prison for violation
of lie Espionage laws. We can think of
only one good tiling to sav- about Social
ism. anil that is: It has come out into the
open ami put itself on record.
GOVERNMENT BONDS
'.m the first day of January, of this
year, there were outstanding about $21,
'>00,000,000 of Liberty and Victory bonds.
Since that date about $1,500,000,000 have
changed ownership in the New York
Stock Exchange. We do not know the
amount of sales in other large cities but
is probable that, in all, the sales have
been at least $4,000,000,000, or about one
fifth of the amount outstanding. Most
of the sales of Liberty bonds have been
from 10 to 16 percent below par. The
reasons for these sales at great loss are
many. Thousands of men and women,
of moderate means, whose hearts were
throbbing with patriotism bought more
bonds than they were financially able to
carry through a business stress. Thou
sands of others borrowed money in order
thus to help carry on the war. Every
body Was assured that Liberty bonds were
good as cash and that they would never
be below par. By reason of inability to
obtain coal and materials for manufac
ture in many lines of business, there are
more than a million of these people who
have been out of employment for several
weeks and many of them have been forced
to sell their holdings at a loss. What is
■called big business has not escaped. Right
of way on the great railroads of the
■country has been given to coal and other
freights which are known as essentials
•and the sidings are occupied by c rs load
ed with non-essentials, some of them
having been side tracked for more than a
month. Purchasers will not pay for
merchandise until it has been received,
and, in consequence, manufacturers are
pressed for funds with which to pay for
xne llluLCiiai uscu diiu muui ***
the making of the side tracked goods.
These conditions have forced the sale of
many millions of bonds. Ever since we
entered the war there has been a growing
and sometimes a rapid inflation of our
currency. A very large flotation of new
paper money has been put in circulation
and the banks have used it in enlarging
the total of their loans to meet the de
mands made by war conditions. Specu
lation has been rife, and, since the armis
tice was signed, regardless of safety or of
law; so much so that the Federal Reserve
Board insisted that the total of credits
should be cut down. A beginning was
tmsde with what are called the frozen
-credits, meaning the cold storage con
cerns and hoarders in general. The cur
tailment was extended to a long list of
manufacturers of non-essentials. This
sent many speculators running to cover
and sent many entirely legitimate manu
facturers and business men into the
money market for new loans, which in
many instances could not be obtained.
The result was that large blocks of
TERRIBLE CASE
oyczHB
Prominent Veterinary of Dover
Suffered Tortures for
Twelve Years
“FRUIT- A-TIVES”and “Sootha Salva”
Finally Brought Relief
Dover, N. H.
“la 1006, I began to be troubled
with Eczema. It started on my face
and gradually spread. The second
summer, I was so badly afflicted I
had to lay off work. I would keep
my hands tied up at night to prevent
digging into my flesh while asleep.
I spent hundreds of dollars in seeking
relief. I would go for several months
without trouble and then the Eczema
would break out again and I would
be in for a siege of suffering. My
hands, especially across the knuckles,
would be so puffed and swollen I
could not do any obstetrical work
or operations.
It was about three months ago I
chanced to read an ad. of ‘Fruit
a-livcs’ about a person being cured
of Weeping Eczema by using this
remedy and ‘Sootha Salva’. I bought
both and in about a week, noticed an
improvement. I have now used two
boxes of ‘Fruit a-tives’ and one of
‘Sootha Salva’ and am entirely free
of Eczema. My flesh is clear and
smooth and I am that gratified with
the result that I cannot proclaim too
loudly the merits of these remedies”.

Doth remedies arc sold at 50c. a

Liberty bonds were placed on the market
and the forced sale of these probably had
more effect in reducing their selling price
than all other causes combined.
Most of the bonds sold were bought by
individuals and institutions and were put
away in strong boxes to be held as a long
term investment. Liberty bonds may
sell lower than they have yet, but holders
have no reason to be alarmed. At ma
turity they will be paid, paid in full, paid
in dollars, every one of which will buy
twice as much food as can be obtained
with a dollar of today.
When Liberty bonds bearing four and
one-fourth per cent interest can be bought
at present prices, it is a good time to buy
them and a bad time to sell them.
Some months ago a commission from
the United States was sent to Armenia
to ascertain what were the conditions
ihere and what expense and duties would
be imposed on this country in case we
accepted the Allied proposal that we
should take charge of and administer
Armenian affairs and defend the Armen
ians from enemies, no matter whence
they came. Major General James G.
Harbord was at the head of this commis
sion which spent several weeks in Ar
menia and nearby countries. The report
of the Harbord commission stated that
the total cost of mandatory control of
Armenia by the United States would be
about $756,000,000 and that the cost for
the first year would be about $85,600,000.
The report stated, also, that two division,
of American soldiers, about 59,000 men,
would be required if the mandate is ac
cepted. The figures of cost, given above,
indicate that the troops would be over

son has recently urged Congress to give
him authority to accept this proffered
mandate. This is something which Con

MOTHER AND CHILDREN GRATEFUL
In East Boston, Mass, at 23 Lamson
Street, a contented family of three chil
dren and the mother live, daily thanking
in silence the kind neighbors who helped
them when they were sick. Mrs. Nellie
Woodford is the mother and she writes
the following letter to Dr. J. F. True &
Co.: “Having heard about your medicine
from my neighbors and druggist, I won
dered if your Dr. True’s Elixir wasn’t
what I needed. I am a hard-working
woman, working she hours every day for
the Penn Realty Trust Company in Bos
ton. In doing this work I use a lot of
strength. Besides this, looking after my
house and the care of the children wore
me out.
I guess my nerves got out oE kilter
first. I worried a lot and seemed to get
tired easy. I lost my appetite. I was
overtaken with dizzy spells, my eyes Jgot
blurred and 1 soon found I had to stay
home from work I didn’t do any house
work, but the rest didn’t do any good.
I always had one special doctor for my
self and the children, but he was out of
town when I was sick. I took medicine
from the druggist which my friends
brought in, but nothing did any good.
My bowels were out of order. My breath
bad, and I was shaky all over. Worst of
all the terrible headaches came. It seem
ed I had suffered years before your Dr.
True’s Elixir was brought into me by a
neighbor.
After a short time I began to cheer up
and be myself again. My bowels were
soon in order and I noticed that the dizzy
spells had left me. I think your Elixir
wonderful. I am working every day now
getting stronger and picking up my appe
tite. I feel full of gratitude toward Dr.
True’s Elixir.
The children sometimes eat things
which don’t agree with them, when I am
not around to see, and then cramps and
constipation follow. I just get out my
bottle of Dr. True’s Elixir and find no
trouble in getting them to take some. It
is easy to take. Their bowels are soon all
right. It may interest you to know that
recently my youngest child was terribly
sick and it was a serious case. We all
have your Elixir to thank for relieving
her of stomach worms. When I gave it
to Louise, it acted like magic, and fixed
her up only after two doses.”
Signs of worms are: Constipation, hard
ened full belly, swollen upper lip, sour
stomach, offensive breath, and occasional
pains, pale face of leaden tint, eyes heavy
and dull, twitching eyelids. itching of the
nostrils, and short dry coughs, grinding
of the teeth, little red points sticking out
on the tongue, starting during sleep, slow
fever. If your children show any of these
symptoms start giving Dr. True’s Elixir,
The Family Laxative and Worm Expeller
at once. It has done wonders for children
and grown-ups since 1851. AT ALL

Why a Majority of the Smaller Cars
Come on Goodyear Tires
\
Last year more cars using 30x3-, 30x3V2-,
or 31 x 4-inch tires were factory - equipped
with Goodyear Tires than with any other
kind.
This is plainly a result of the high relative
value produced in these tires for the smaller
cars by Goodyear’s enormous resources and
scrupulous care. *
They represent the same intense endeavor
to supply utmost satisfaction in tires that
has laid the basis for the marked preference
which exists everywhere for Goodyear Tires
in the larger sizes.
This real Goodyear value in tires is available
for your Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or
other car using one of these sizes, at our
nearest Service Station. Go there for these
tires and Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes.

Stomach Out Of
Order? Try NR
Nothing Better to Straighten You Out
After Eating Too Much. Tones
Liver, Regulates Bowels. Acts
Pleasantly. Guaranteed.
Many people eat too much every
} day and most eat much too much
some days. That is \v..y Americans
suffer more than any people in the
world from indigestion, biliousness
and constipation.
With a little thoughtfulness and
care, however, a great amount of
this distress could be avoided and
you'll never realize how true this is
until you become one of the several
, million people of this country who
keep a box of Nature’s Remedy (NR
Tablets) constantly on hand and use
it whenever indigestion, biliousness or
constipation threatens.
Unlike laxative purges, cathartics,
such as oil, calomel, etc., which mere
ly force bowel action. Nature's Remedy
exerts a beneficial influence upon the
entire digestive and eliminative sys
tem—the stomach, liver, bowels and
even the kidneys. Its purpose is to
promote vigorous and harmonious ac
tion of all the organs that handle the
food and body waste.
That is why the results which fol
low the use of Nature's Remedy are
always a delightful surprise to those
who first try it. The action while
prompt and thorough, is as mild and
gentle and pleasant as Nature her
self, and the thorough cleansing the
body receives brings a feeling of
real relief and benefit such as no
laxative pill or cathartic ever pro
duced for anyone.
Get a 25c box of Nature’s Remedy
(NR Tablets) and try it. There is no
risk in doing so, for it must give you
grreater relief and benefit than any
liver or bowel medicine you ever used
or money back instantly. It is sold,
guaranteed and recommended by your
druggist.

DO YOU HAVE DIZZY SPELLS?
It’s Important to Learn the Cause, as Many
Belfast People Have.
Dizziness is never a disease of itself—
it’s only a symptom of some deep-seated
trouble. Much dizziness is caused by dis
ordered kidneys failing to filter all the
poisons from the blood. These poisons
attack the nerves and dizziness results.
If you are subject to dizziness, there is
good reason to suspect your kidneys, and j
if you suffer backache, headache, and ‘
irregularity of the kidney secretions, you ■
have have further proof. Many Belfast !
people have learned the value of Doan’s
Kidney Pills in just such cases. Read this
Belfast residents statement:
Mrs. Margaret P. Wood, 15 Vine St.,
says: “I suffered from severe pains across
my back and at night they interfered with
my rest. I was subject to dizzy spells
and black spots came before mv eyes. My j
kidneys were disordered and I felt miser
able and run down. Doan’s Kidney Pills '
seem to be just what my system required ]
and I soon got relief. I can recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got from j
the City Drug Store, to anyone troubled
with their kidneys.”
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don’t simply j
ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid- !
ney Pills—the same that Mrs. Wood
had. Fosrer-Milburn Company, Mfgrs.,
