"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
YANKEE "RCTHLESSNESS"
The efforts of the North. Ameri
can money princes and their hire
ling Wilson to grub trade with, South
America, and especially to throttle
•wth golden fetters Brazil and Ar
gentina, a^unie constantly more
.■uthless forms. Brazil has for some
time considered herself at war with
Germany, and, according to the lat
<*>i reports, Argentina is about to
Uriels, 0f£ diplomatic relations. The
•outbreak o£ the war was the signal
tor the Yankees to hurl themselves
upon South, America, like vultures,
and attempt to swallow Germany's
share of trade jvith South. America,
amounting to ?337,0UU,00l> a year.
Future developments will depend
irriuiarily on the length of the war.
The longer Germany is cut off from
the South American market, the
harder she will find St to recover
tier share of trade. It Is compara
tively easy in the case of imports,
but as to exports South America
u must be remembered that the de
mand for finished products exists
and Las not to be created; con
sequently, the longer the South
Americans are compelled to take
jion-German, and especially Ameri
can products, the more accustomed
they will become to them and the
more anxious to avoid another
change.—From the W'eser Zeitung,
Bremen, Germany.
ONE CONTRAST
The United States government la
conscripting men of all sorts and
conditions, from all parts of the
land, to serve against their inclina
tion, and convenience in its over
seas armies. No man can question
the seriousness of the risk which
they assume or eg^agerate the earn
flee which such duties may involve.
The United States government
needs ships yith which to fight its
battles quite as much as it needs
these men in the trenches. How
does it get its ships? Doas it con
script men to build them? Quite the
contrary? Th© men impose a draft
on the ifovernment.
Organized labor sets up condition
on which its members will consent
to work, even excluding from the
shipbuilding ranks men who might
prove valued helpers. In fine, one
group of citizens names the condi
tions on which they will carry on
that part of the government's busi
ness which is done In peace, quiet
»nd security—and at good wages.—
Boston Herald.
Washington Herald—When the
wbeatlesa days and the meatless
days sroduce a real reduction in the
price of the necessities of life, then,
th« American public will consider
jjr. Hqover quite competent. _ _ _ J

Daily Points For
Citizen Soldiers
(Issued by the War Department
And all rights to reprint
Reserved). „
ELAYIXG THJE GAME
There Is a gripping; Interest about
the soldier's life that makes a
etrong appeal to vigorous American^
Tfc& is doubly true in time of war
fc'hen, the solder* has a, serious ob
ject In view; and gives his whola
mind to his new duties.
The healthy good fellowship ot
the camp also can not fail to stimu
late you. Thousand gf men drawn
from all walks of life can not be
thrown suddenly together without
bringing to light many qualities pre
viously unknown. You will prob
ably become better acquainted with
yourself than you have ever been
before. . |
Your Monthly Pay
hile the men in the National Ar
my are serving at the call of duty
and not for money, nevertheless
everyone will be jiaid more than,
enough to take care of all neoe&sary
expenses. These expenses are very
slight. Clothing, food and trans
portation are provided by the Gov
ernment. In addition, the private
soldier Twelves $30 per month whil<
he is in the United States and $33
per month, wh.ilha is abroad.
A mail in. uwiorm is ju»«jra i«
garded, whether he wiahes it or not
a representative of the army to
which. h» belongs. See to it that
you conduct yourself in such a way
ano-J oj ^iuo jon 'jfq ano^C ppo oi
own reputation, but to the reputa
tion of the Army and the country.
Making Use of Spare Time
The use that a man makes of his
time off duty is a good test of his
character and of his capacity for
growth. The good soldier le self
restrained. Don't spend your %time
repeating indecent stories. They
add nothing whatever to ypur stand
tag, either with the men to whom
you tell them or Kith;your officers.
Avoid boisterousnee^, vulgarity,
and profanity.
This doesn't mean at all that
you should keep yourself in the
background or that you should fall
to be a good "mixer." Let youi
personality stand out. Broaden you
influence by every proper method.
But use your personality and your
influence to help the men in your
own squad and company carrying on
their work and prepare as quick
ly as no3sible for the big task aheac
of you.
Save some of your spare time for
study. The manuals and drill
regulation will grow more and
more interesting to you as you be
come more familiar with yoirr new
duties. Memorize some of the im
portant passages. Make yourself an
authority on everything that per
tainU to company drill.

Spells of backache often follow,
A splendid remedy for such at>
tactics,
A medicine that has satified
thousands.
Is Doan's Kidney PUis.
Thousands of people rely upon
It.
Here is one case:
Charles Peter Bchellberg, Jewel
er, 817 F. Streeit, San Diego, Cal.,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have
done what is right by me and I
don't hesitate to recommend them.
For years I suffered from kidney
complaint and everything I did to
get relief failed. My bladder was
so weak I could hardly control the
kidney secretions. Nights I was
obliged to get up on that ac
count and the unnatural appearance
of the secretions made me feel
sure my kidneys needed attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills helped me
from the start and before long put
an end to the trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan'e Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr, Schellberg had. Foster
