There waa no reference to tha sub ject of Nation-wide prohibition, beyond the adoption of a resolution condemn ing "the enactment of numerous laws affecting personal liberty In practically every state of the Union," which offi cers of the convention said was intend ed to be broad enough to embrace that question along with others. Prohibition t Com Us Again. However, a resolution more specifi cally expressing opposition t Nation wide prohibition will be before the con vention tomorrow, according to some of the officers. After pronouncing personal liberty a fundamental doctrine of German-American idealism, the resolution alleges "a condition, as in some states, where one lsw virtually counteracts, overlaps or nullifies another." Indiscriminate and unnecessary leg islation is condemned and th resolu tion continues: . "In order to combat such legislation successfully, it will be Incumbent on every state organization to make full report in every case where lawa relat ing to personal liberty are proposed or enacted, to th secretary of the National alliance, so that that body will be in position to actively co-operate, to the end that personal rights of the Individual and hla protection from harmful and unreasonable legislation, may be secured."

A majority of th delegates who spoke to this resolution expressed the belief that Western . newspapera, and particularly those on the Pacific Coast, show the least bias in handling' war newa On resolution adopted today calls upon th German government to pro vide a better news service to Germans abroad than the European newa agen cies now supply.

Thev become too languid to exercise, and as a result have appetite only for light, tasty foods, like salads and other cold concoctions, which do not digest readily and Increase the natural tendency to constipation. At this season women should main tain ..the highest possible standard of health, to counteract the enervating .w-,.f nf the weather. Good digestion and regularity of the bowels are es sential. The combination of simple laiatlve herbs wun pepsin, sola in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Spyrup Pepsin, Is highly recommended as a laxative and dl gestant by many physicians, as well as by thousands of women who de pend upon It as a remedy for many of those ills to which women seem more especially susceptible. Get a fifty-cent bottle of Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin -rom your drug- gist and have it In the house. Take a dose of It tonight and by morning your constipation, indigestion and sick headache will' vanish. It is far preferable to cathartics, purgatives and salts; because it does not gripe or shock the system but acts gently, in an easy, natural manner, expelling the congestion of waste and restoring normal activity of the organs.

I had fainting spells, bloated, and could hardly stand the pain in my left side. My husband insisted that I try Lydia, E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did. for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take long walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my good health. "-Mrs. J. M. RESCH, 1900 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky.
