"America For Americans
| FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
THK MIX AT THK l>UOK.
By A. o. Stanley, G*>v<lr"«r of Ken
tucky
1 deeply regret that people still
harbor th-«t pernicious delusion that
this war is 3,y0o or I.11;.'!) miles
away. Have you heard that? some
foolish people are saying that it i»
a war between, England. France, j
and Italy and Germany and Austria
—away at'Ajss the Atlantic Ocean, in
tho mud and snow of Flanders and
i:i tho passes of the All*."1, arOUtid [
Caoubrai. Oh, no, it is not there.
It Is here—right here. It is ia tho
streets of Louisville; it is all over
tho blue grass of Kentucky and in
tho mountain^ ailj the plains and
in the Pennyriel; it is up and
down tho Mississippi River. They
would be here but for that splendid
and almost shattered line into which
every able-vAxliej Frenchman has
gone; that line to which every
home in England has contributed;
that line for which Australia and
Canada have been drained. Because
that line still stands tiiey are
not her'-. Let that lino break, let
the Huti go over that western front
as they swept over the Asonzo in
Italy, as he swept over the eastern,
front In Russia and through Sorbin
aad Roumania. and his millions will
be here.
Will our patriotism and vigilance
sleep, sleep, sleep until we are
aroused at midnight by the red
glare of the holocause? Will we
^'ait till the air is thick with the
smoko of burning buildings and
the skies are black with tho con
flagration of great cities? Will
•we w-ait until the soil js drenched
by the red blood of our own sons
and tho shrieking of outraged wo
men fill the palpitating air? These
Huna would invade our homes,
would lay therr foul and desecrating
hands upon the white throats of Am
erican women, only over the dead
bodies of the last of this land's de
fenders.
We shall not wait until they land
here. We will meet them there.
The destiny of the world depends
upoji the puissant arm o{ America.
March 31st at 2 a. m. is the time
•Set for turning the clocks ahead
oiiq hour. In the States this is
aa exceptionally good measure, for
it saves coal, electricity, and gives
work in jeople an hour of delight
in ihe evening when they can. make
war garden juid at the sam^ time
build up themselves physically. The
aierw rulinsj however will not make
much difference to Alaska, where
during this per^d daylight is most
pJ«aurui, . ^ ..J
(Ruih Wright Kauffm&o, of the
Vigilantes, asks from Paris:)
DOES AMERICA KNOW—
That there is a WAR going on in
Europe?
That the WASTAGE on the Brit
ish front alone is 2,000 men a
day?
That a present of 100,000 air
ships to the Allies will do no good
unless ENGINES are of th® sort
that can l»e used at the front?
That when Am-ercia settds MEN
to France, the men, must FED
;uid CLOTHED and given GUMS?
That the maintenance o£ an ar
my at the front is the maintenance
of a city as big as Chicaga sudden
ly dumped ia thy middle of a
desert? | |
That England lias had to build
her own docks in. Northern Franco
to Teceive her transports?
That it's like offering a LIVE
ELEPHANT to a baby to offer
Prance American troops without
maintenance?
That every day; there are few
er men living' in that thin human
wall which, divides Germany from
America? ; I \ |,
That there really are such, things
as shells and boaihs and poisonous
gas and liquid flame, and that when
these things strike you, they
hurt? • |
That either:
It's up to America to strain every
nerve of every Individual and
finish this war properly,
Oi;
It's up to every workingman in
the United States to hand over ®°
much per week out of his wage
for the rest of his natuiraj life
existence into Germany's pocket
book? And pay for this war
properly.
Must war put its iron fingers o®
throat of each, smrfll town o(
th'' United States before America
rubs its eyes and yawns and trie®
—too late—'to jump, out of bed?
JIM DALE
>!>»• KUis Parker Butler, authoj
o' "Pigs is Pigs" and other
stories)
Young Jimmy Dale, across our
street ,
Is just a gawky- lad: ,
He grew so fast, the doctors said.
Mis heart was mighty bail.
They wouldn't let him do much
work,
Or hearty play.
But, just the same, they drafted
Jim,
Ai d Jim. has gone away.
Jim was a sort oX great, big kid.
And fooling all the while;
.V .when they ordered him to camp
He went there with a smile.
J:m Dale is in the army now,
Lai.k legs, hum heart and: all.
T-, fight like other drafted men,
That got the Country's call.
Cod yes, Jim's heart may drv^ him
dead,
Or he may live to T)e
Shot all to pieces "Oyer there"
What odds to you or me?
By thunder! it's these odds tc
you;
If kids like Jim can go,
With smiles, to fight our wars
for us,
We can put up the dough;
If we can buy a bond or two,
And don't while Jim, poor cus,
Goes smiling off t0 death or
wounds—
Then Hell's too 6foo<l for tis.
Spitzbergen Rich Land.
Spitzbergen. virtually the only "N'r
Man's Land" of amy value left on the
earth, promises to present an Impor
tant (|uesrion after the war ends. .Tut
this up from one of Europe's most
northerly points toward the regions ol
perpetual Ice. Spitsbergen received
littie attention from world powers
even those near bv. until its Important
mineral resources were revealed. Bj
some it is said 'lie country will pro\«
to bo a second Alaska In the surprise!1
awaiting its complete exploration and
study.
Oial in apparently unlimited quan
tities. easiiy mined without shafting
abounds in Spitsbergen. Besides there
are found deposits of iron ore. marble,
copper ore, iron and copper pyrites,
molybdenum, galena, zinc blende and
other minerals.
Use of Cement Increasing.
The popularity of cement as a build
ing material may be shown in figures.
In a period of ir> years the cement
output in the United States lias in
creased from 17.000.tWU barrels to 93,
000,000. This is an increase of over
600 per cent. With steel a product
which it is extremely difficult to se
cure at the present time, there Is a
great demand for cement to replace
steel to some extent.—Milwaukee

ALL LOOKED ALIXE TO HI.VI
| Mrt. Newrich's Footmtn Helper Pos
sibly Didn't Know There Were Any
Other Kind of Cards.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the retiring
British ambassador, Is oue of the most
Democratic diplomatists ever accred
j lted at Washington. In fact, he Is very
[ much like his predecessor, Vlscouut
James Br.vce, and has no patience with
the new rich and other artificially gild
ed society. Although story telling is a
luxury for the overburdened diplomat,
a story he told souie time ago Is timely,
In that It Is applicable to the war mil
lionaires, of which every warring na
tion seems to have a big quota.
Str Cecil's story Is about a lady
whose husband made a fortune In rub
ber, and In due time hud reached the
outer edge of society so as to be
permitted to make a few calls, which
were better received if made by> card.
On visiting days, she bedecked herself
| and her motor, and the rouud through
j the streets was always a question of
,| hours.
Uu one occasion, nowever, me iwi
j man being sick, she broke In the help
| er, not having time to secure another
j footman. While on her way Mrs. New
j rich discovered that she had left her
visiting curds at home, and thither
she hastened, seuding the new foot
man to fetch them, after which they
continued on their mission.
It was quite dark when the.v reached
the residence of a foreign minister,
and the lady ordered the footman to
leave three cards at the door.
"Can't do it, madame," he said bow
ing.
I "I've only got two left, an ace and
} a deuce."
Swift Iceboat.
I A strange winged sled has made its
! appearance on the smooth ice of Lake
Placid In northern New York. Condi
tions being favorable for speed, it of
j ten sweeps along at a mlle-a-mlnute
clip, its* tail gliding and Its nose lifted
in the air. Except for the fact that It
doesn't tly, it might be described as a
flying ice-boat. It consists essentially
j of a light frame supporting a mono
i plane uhd a 30 horse power motor with
| ...-i.il »rm>eller connected.

OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly SkaKway Rpsidcjits
Suffer From Some Form of
Kidjiey Ti<nibl«?.
When past middle age, there fre
quently comes a noticeable weakeo
ixi o* the organs of th<j body, and,
resulting danger of quick decline.
It is quite necessary to give prompt
help to any part that first shows
signs of wear, Healthy kidneys
aia necessary to a hale old age.
Weak kidneys often bring constant
backache, lame back, etiches and
twinges of pain, annoying urinary
troubles, and tha danger of drop
sy or Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills are gratefully recom
jnended by very many aged people.
Convincing proof of merit in the
following testimony:
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W.
Fifty-ninth St., Seattle, wash,
says; "A cold weakened my kid
'ney and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt as th'ough the
muscles were all drawn up and
stiff. My kidneys didn't act right
at ail and the secretions were high
ly colored, i had to g«t up often
at night. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
m: a complete and lastng cure. I
am now free from kidney trouble
in spite of my age, which is six
t- yeare."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—th© same
that Mr. Jolxnsem had. Foster-Mil
