BANISTER SCORED
BYW.C.T.0.
Declare Retired Army Officer
Referred to Petticoat a
' Badge of Cowardice.
DR. CALLFAS DEFENDS HIM
Mrs. George W. Covell, Woman',
Christian Temperance union worker,
considered insulting some remarks
made by Colonel J. M. Banister in
his talk to the temperance women of
the city Wednesday afternoon, when
he said: .
"Anyone who opposes the president
in this time of great crisis is a traitor
and should be treated as such. The
moral influence of women in time of
war cannot be minimized. Women
of today should follow the example
of noble women of the past in sup
port of their soldiers.
"I have never heard anything so
vile, contemptible and pusillanimous as
the song sung in Omaha, 'I Didn't
Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.' If
we did not raise our boys to be men,
we had better put dresses on them
and send them into the bakeries. If
Germany had invaded this country as
it aid aeigium and had iound our
young men smelling roses, with lace
collars around their necks, instead of
being ready to protect you at any
cost, you might have been deported
by soldiers as Belgian women have
been. A slacker should be ignored
and looked upon with contempt by
every woman.
"I resent Colonel Banister' atti-
,tude," said Mrs. Covell. "I have to
wear lace collars, but that is no dis
grace, I am insulted that he used the
petticoat as a badge of cowardice.
Men may have physical braverv. but
women have moral braverv. He and
I have something in common and he
ra moved Dy the old louthern spirit
of chivalry, but he needs to eet hia
views changed in regard to war."
Dr. Jennie M. Callfas interrupted
with protest, "I love Mrs. Covell as
much as can be. but I must protest
against this talkinor about Colonel
Banister when he came here to give
us suggestions from his practical ex
perience about our work." Mrs.
lovell subsided.
Mrs, Mamie M. Claflin. mate nrei.
dent of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union, said: "I didn't raise
my boy to be a soldier. Mv views
re diametrically opposed to those of
t-oiqnei Banister. He is a war-loving
soldier and I am a peace-loving
woman, but we are not here to argue
now, we must do everything we can
to help our soldiers and uohnld our
president I have a vision of supply
ing hospitals with electric fans and
Victrolas, and of furnishing the many
comforts which we are able to pro
vide. While we are making this ef
fort we must make it in the ipirit of
bitter enmity to the open saloon,
which is doing such deadly things
for our young men."

Thrills feature

Fred Cuscaden led in a moral sauad
consisting ol himself, Oeorge Johnson
Bob Manley, L. C. Erskine, G. D,
Whitcomb and Hugh Wallace. Th
squad wound up by singing songs and
doing a fling, but no arrests were
made.
A squad from the membership com
mittee under H. O. Wilhelm, attacked
a prospective member and after argu
ing with him for ten minutes, got his
name on the dotted line, and thus
demonstrated to the crowd how mem
berships are obtained.
Frank Latenser sang his hit "My

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With a VeU; Re
move Them With the Othine
Prescription.
This prescription for ths removal
ot treckles was written by i promi
nent physican and is usually so suc
cessful in removing freckles and (riv
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by any druggist under guar
antee to retund the money it it tails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re
move them. Even the first few aooli-
cations should show a wonderful im
provement, some of the lighter freck
les vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the monev-back s-uarantee.

Doctor Tells How To Strengthen
Eyesight SO per cent In One
Week s Time in Many Instances
A lee Prvwrifittaa Sv Cm Hj.v Filled
and dm st Home.
Philadelphia, Pa, Tio you wear rluag?
Ara you a, vibtitn f tyn strain or othar
eye wcakneuee? It o you will be glad
to know that aceordlnr to Dr. Lewis there
ie real hope for you. Many whole eyai were
felling eay they have bed their eyei re
stored through the principle of thli won
derful free prescription. One man eaye,
efter trying It: "I wee almoit blind: could
not eee to read at all. Now I can read
everything without any gltMei - and my
eyei do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully: now they feel fine
all the time. Jt was like a miracle to me."
A lady who uaed It aaye: "The atmoiphere
eemed haiy with or without glaeie. but
after uelng thla preecrlptton for fifteen
daya everything leemi clear, I can even
read fine print without gluiee." It la be
lleved that thoueanda who wear glaiaen
can now dtecard them in a reasonable
time and multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eye so aa to be spared
the trouble and expense of ever getting
glansei. Eye troubles of many descriptions
may be wonderfully benefited by following
the simple rules. Here Is the prescription:
do to any active drug store and get a
bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon
Opto tablet In a fourth of a glass of water
and allow to dissolve, With this liquid
bathe the eye two to four times daily.
You should notice your eyes clear up per.
ctptibly right from the start and Inflamma
tion will quickly disappear. If your eyes
are bothering you, even a little, take stops
to save them now before It Is too late.
Mony hopelessly blind might have been
saved If they had cared for their eyes In
time.
Note: Another prominent Physician to
whom the above article was submitted, said;
"Bon-Opto Is a very remarkable remedy.
Its constituent Ingredients are well known
to eminent eye specialists and widely pre
scribed by them. The manufacturers guar
antee It to strengthen eyesight BO per cent
In one week's time In many Instances or
refund ths money. It ran be obtained from
any good druggist and Is one of the very
few preparations I feel should be kept on
hand for regular use in almost every
family,' It Is sold Id this city by Sherman
& McConneli, c, A, Melcher and others.
