Cannot Praise this
Remedy too Highly
THE WAY ONE LADY FEELS AFTER
SUFF ERINS TWO YEARS
Judging 1 from her letter, the mis
ery and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, R. F. D. No. 1,
Box 144, Dillon, S. C., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great heeling power
of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: U I suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
I then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfully say lam well. When I
began to U3e PE-RU-NA, I weighed
one hundred pounds. My weight
now is one hundred and fifty. I
cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
I got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
I advise all sufferers Uf take
PE-RU-NA.”
As an emergency remedy in the
home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep tne blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any
where in either tablet or liquid
form.

PERSHING MAKES
REPORT ON ARMY
Praises Courage and Ability of
American Arms in Great
War.
TELLS HOW YANKEES FOUGHT
Their Spirit of Determination Made
it Impossible for the Enemy to
Maintain the Struggle Longer,
He Declares.
Washington, Dec. 16. —General Per
shing, in his special report to Secre
tary Baker on the operations of the
American army in France, says in ef
fect, although not in terms, that the
American army won the war.
“It was the spirit of determination
animating every American soldier,”
says General Pershing, referring to the
Meuse-Argonne battle, “that made it
impossible for the enemy to maintain
the struggle until 1919.”
“Twenty-two American and four
French divisions,” says General Per
shing, “had engaged and decisively
beaten 47 German divisions, represent
ing 25 per cent of the enemy’s entire
divisional strength on the western
front: Of the 22 American divisions,
12 had at various times during this*
period (September 26 to November
11. 1918), been engaged on other
fronts than our own. The First army
had suffered a loss Af about 117,000 in
killed and wounded; it had captured
26,000 prisoners, 847 cannon, 3,000 ma
chine guns, and large quantities of ma
terial.”
With the American army holding the
heights dt minating Sedan, the report
said, and the German line of communi
cations definitely sundered, the enemy
“recognizing that nothing but cessa
tion of hostilities could save his armies
from complete disaster, appealed for
an immediate armistice (November
6)."
Within one month of his arrival
General Pershing recommended defi
nitely that 1,000,000 men should be in
France before May, 1918, it being evi
dent that “a force of 1,000.000 is the
smallest unit which in modern war will
he a complete, well balanced, and in
dependent fighting organization.” Plans
for the future, the recommendation
)dded, “should be based on three times
this force.”
The general was equally specific in
choosing the ground for American op
erations. He says:
“Our mission was offensive, and it
was essential to make plans for strik
ing the enemy where a definite military
iecision could he gained While the
allied armies had endeavored to main
rain the offensive, the British in order
to guard the channel portp, were
committed to operations in Flanders
and the French to the portion of the
front protecting Paris. Both lacked
troops to operate elsewhere on a large
scale.
“To the east the great fortified dis
trict east of Verdun and around Metz
menaced France, protected the most
exposed portion of the German line
of communications, that between Metz
and Sedan, and covered the Briey iron
region, from which the enemy ob
tained the greater part of the iron
required for munitions and material.
The coal fields east of Metz were also
covered by these same defenses. A
deep advance east of Metz, or the cap
ture of the Briey region, by threaten
ing the invasion of rich German terri
tory in the Moselle valley and the Saar
basin, thus curtailing her supply of
coal or Iron, Would have a decisive
effect in forcing a withdrawal of Ger
man troops from northern France. The
military and economic situation of the
enemy, therefore, indicated Lorraine as
the field promising the most fruitful I
results for the employment of our
armies.”
American arms drew first blood, the
report shov s. at Passchendaele ridge,
November 6-10, 1917, when the
Eleventh engineers joined the British j
in a successful attack,, which was part j
of a general operation designed “to !
hinder the German conquest of Rus
sia and to prevent, if possible, an at
tack on Italy, or the near East.”

TRADE PEACE IS NEAR
SECRETARY WILSON DECLARES
CONDITIONS NF.AR NORMAL.
Labor and Capital Getting Together
and Strikes and Lockouts Are
Decreasing Rapidly.
Washington, Dec. 13. —Strikes and
lockouts are rapidly decreasing in
number, Secretary of Labor Wilson
spid in in Interview.
“With the decision of the executive
committee of the United Mine Work
ers to urge their membership to re
turn to work immediately in accord
ance with the proposal of President
Wilson,” said the secretary, “the na
tionaP industrial situation, from the
standpoint of increased production,
seems to wear a better aspect than at
any time since the period of unrest be
gan more than a year ago with the
signing of the armistice,
“It seems likely that within a week
or ten days more men will be at their
accustomed daily tasks than at any
time within many months.
“The returning miners can be count
ed upon to overcome swiftly the fuel
shortage, which, as I said In a tele
gram to President John L. Lewis of
the miners’ organization, had brought
the country face to face with perhaps
the most difficult industrial situation
that ever arose. With the mines agnin
turning out the normal fuel supply,
factories can run full time and pro
duction will be iargely increased. This
will tend to reduce costs of necessi
ties, as President Wilson has poi ited
out.
“The conciliation division of this de
partment now is being called upon to
handle fewer strikes and lockouts than
during the summer.

WOULD CONTINUE
SUGAR CONTROL
Senate Votes to Govern Traffic
for Another Year; Bill Sent
to House.
LOUISIANA LEADS OPPOSITION
Pomerene of Ohio Criticizes
Chairman Taussig of the Tariff
Board.—Cummins Railroad Bill
Is Called Bolshevik Plan.
Washington, Dec. 15- —The McNary
bill, under which government control
of sugar would be continued another
year, was passed by the senate and
sent to the house.
There was no record vote and Sena
tors Ransdell and Gay of Louisiana,
who led the opposition, made no fur
ther attempt to prevent a vote. Sen
ator Gay made a brief address in op
position, ending the fight of several
days against the measure.
Purchase and sale by the United
States sugar equalization board both
of foreign and domestic grown sugar
is authorized by the bill, which would
empower, but not direct, the presi
dent to continue the practice until . e
cember 31, 1920, if found necessary
for the public good, and to secure fair
prices and equal distribution. The
bill specifies, however, that producers,
refiners and distributors of sugar shall
not be licensed, as has been the prac
tice under the Lever food control law.
Under the bill the board’s control
over domestic sugar would be limited
to September 30, 1920, when the beet
and cane crops in this county come in.
Senator Pomerene (Dem.), Ohio,
criticized Chairman Taussig of the
tariff board for opposing federal pur
chase of Cuban sugar last summer.
Senator McNary said it could have
been bought for 6% cents a pound, and
is now over ten cents.
“By adhering to the advice of a pro
fessional economist,” Senator Pomer
ene said, “it will cost the American
people three to four cents a pound
more for sugar.”
Attacking the Cummins railroad bill
as “paternalistic and bolshevistic like
the Plum plan,” Senator McKellar
(Dem.), Tennessee, told the senate,
the government ought to restore the
roads to the owners and let them
work out their own program without
legislation.
“The two hills in principle are iden
tically the same,” said Senator Mc-
Kellar, referring to the Cummins meas
ure and the Plum plan for tripartite
control, “and In neither is the public’s
interest protected or guaranteed. They
are about as neat government owner
ship as it is possible to make them,
without outwardly admitting it.”
Senator McKellar argued that the
railroads under government control
and present rates had been making
money since August, and that under
the Cummins bill there must be an in
crease in rates when they are turned
back.
Senator King (Dem.), Utah, .inter
rupting Senator McKellar, asserted
that the railroad -administration had
not maintained the roads at their for
mer standard, and that money was be
ing taken from maintenance funds and
listed as profits. Once the government
relinquished control, it must face
•laims for tens of millions damages,
Senator King added, “because of the
maladministration of the roads by the
railroad administration.”

investigation in'the eastern section o

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—thi article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, &
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium ’size bottlea
