j FOOD WINS THE WAR {
DON'T WASTE IT j
IT SCAM.V
War in its most ruthless and
ste^itby nature has again come
home tc- the people of the I'uited
States by the sinking of the Tus
cania. sud it was only the heroic
and vigilant efforts of the many
u-urol Doats operating in. the War
zone ,and the convoy of warships,
that Drevented a much greater disai
ter 'rom visiting our nation
Such iessons as the one experienc
ed yesterday are what will make
the United States fight until her
i ist drop of blood is shed. From
a military or naval standout, Ger
many gained nothing, and from
poin: of morale, she lost. Germany's
oie hope by such methods is to
possibly destroy large numbers of
iive$ on the sea, and to break down
Ue fightiCj* spirit of the people in
tiie U.. S. On the latter point she
ha« miscalculated, for such disasters
w !l only make us fight harder, and
from the former point of view she
to far has accomplished nothing.
Tie fact that only 113 American
li«es out of 2179 l\ S. soldiers
aboard were lost speaks volumes
for ihe work of rescue, it might
hav* been a great deal worse.. And
we should not be too critical of our
neighboring ally 011 whose vessel the
An °iican troops were voyaging..
Sht; ha3 an enviable record in trans
posing Canadian troops across the
Atlmtic, and the fact that one of
her vessels was hit yesterday does
not necessarily mean that she was
careless. While the I'nited States
nas transported a large number of
troops across the sea and so far has
met witt no serious accident, no
uation is infallible. Such a disas
ter should only spur all on to con
stant vigilance.
'Varry on" is our motto.. De
termination to w-in, and a will to
wi« will bring us victory.
AFTER THK AVAR
With 3 vision which looks far
to th» luture. America is already
fach'g the after-the--war problems
of <ha returned soldier. Peace will
'•resent new conditions to tlie coun
try's dtfenders and these a-re being
apfidi'ated by leaders of American
♦hought. One of the problems to
be facp 1 is what to do with the sol
who has been permanently in
jured cr so seriously injured that
he must take up life on new terms..
The experience of the Allied na
tions is before the American Red
Cro« in its planning. To the end
tl>at it may intelligently cope with
the "reconstruction" of the wound
ed and maimed soldier, the Red
Crosg hag taken over the Cripple
Baieon of the Hudson Guild, which
has b»en in operation at 43S West
Twenty-seventh Street, New York,
iu or&iuiaaUon in 1S10. This
FOUR MINUTE SPEECH 10
SCHOOL POPLIS, Of MOO
.Nations have their childhood and
their days of hard lessons just as
children do.. One hundred and
forty years ago, when the first Am
erican Army marched to battle,
our Nation was younger among na
tions than you are among your fath
ers, your mothers, and their friends.
Our army had drummer boys in,
those days, real boys of 10 and 12
who marched as bravely and as
proudly into cannon fire as their
grea». cluef, Gen. Washington, him
self. Our Nation had little girls,
who laughed and cheered and lfiad
«?il muskets for their fathers, who
fired through loopholes iu their
cabin homes, when the painted In
dians charged to the very doore.
Where many schoolhouses stand
to-day American boys and gh-ls
have helped to fight and defeat the
enemy, when our Nation, too, was
young,.
We are in the greatest war of the
world's history and we must win
this war.. We can, aud we shall
win, if the boys and girls of Ameri
ca say so, and mean it ,and feel it,
and live it, as the boys and girls of
"TU lived and felt and helped.
The Nation needs that sort of
boys and girls to-day. Not to beat
our drums, nor to load out muskets,
but to start a great work which
must b- done. It is the part of
boys atd girls to-day to give an ex
ample of self-denial and sacrifice.
tu teach fathers anil mothers, to
t ach the grown, people of the Na
tion (hat we stiLi have in every
younjr heart the spirit-of '7G, when
bovs led our soldiers into l>attle
and K>rls fought beside, their fath
ers at the cabin, jvall.. The lesson
is "Thrift"—saving to the point of
sacrifice—self-denial of everythlm
| unnecessary, xf every boy and girl
pays at home tonight, "I will fight
iu this war," "I will save every
penny and loan it to my Government
to help save the lives of the big
brothers of America." "X will try
to teach every American I see to
dr. the same" — then 20,000,000
j homes, the homes of aJi America,
! will be filled with the spirit of '76,
tiie spirit of the drummer boys, and
the brave girls of those days. Am
erica •will win, again, as it has al
ways won, through the splendid
strength courage, and sacrifice in
the hearts of youths .that to-day
will teach the Nation the lesson of
saving and serving which it must
and will learn, through the message
which its school childreif will carry
home..
Through saving your pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters, and buy
in; thrift stamps and then war-sav
ings certificates, you wUl help your
country and its gallant armies to
win the war..
I know you will help.

found the temperature to he 60 de

occasion to untie the thermometer,
and hang it on a tree for a while..

MISS MAUD KAHN
Miss Maud Kahn, New York society
girl and charity worker and daughter
of Otto H. Kahn, is driving a dispatch
car for the British forces in Europe.
She bought her own automobile and
volunteered for the work.
The process known us c:;anij!lng
goes back to a venerable antiquity.
Excellent enainel is s:il! preserved on
some of tlic bricks tliat have been
found among the rti'xs of o!J Babylo

pluced back as fur t:s the seventh or
eighth century 11. C. Beautiful dazes
were made by the Egyptians as early
as the sixth dynasty. The Greeks and

of enameling, as the museums of the
world clearly show.

Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Wm. A. Quayle .prop., electric
motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St.,
3an Francisco, Calif., says: "I "was
troubled with my kidneys for about
two months. The kidney secretions
were profuse and highly colored
and I bad to get up four or five
times at night to pass them. I
worked in a lead mine a number of
years ago and I think that wag the
cause of my trouble. I became wor
ried and went to a drug store and
asked for the best kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re
moved the trouble ^vith my kidneys
and I have had no sign of it since."
OVEIt A *YEAR LATER Mr.
Quaylo said: "Never in my life
have I enjoyed such good health as
X am now haying. I giye Doans'

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application!*, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to euro catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in
ilamed condition of ihe mucoui lining of
the Eustachian Tube. W'i.en this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed ioreyer. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
