Three Cigarette Faults to Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that don't just suit your own taste.
 Second, avoid those that bother your throat or tongue.
 Third, avoid those that make you feel mean" after smoking all you want.
 If Fatinas, for instance, seem to you to be guilty on any one of those three counts, we say, avoid Fatinas.

Why Labor 10 Scarce.

Here is one reason which you may
have overlooked why labor is growing
scarcer every day In the United States I:
We have now In Pennsylvania alone
225,OO0 automobiles. One-third of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs. an army of 5000 able-bOdied
men removed entirely from produc-
tive work.
The army Of pleasure car chauffeurs
In the whole country must exceed half
q million men-all nonproducers. In
deed, there is another great big army
of men building pleasure cars to be
operated by these other nonprOducers
Of essentials.
They used to complain in Germany
that every taxpayer had to carry sol
der on his back. We vary 1t in the
United States by carrying chauffeur
on our backs, says "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Ledger.

BRITISH REJECT
ALL US. CLAIMS
BLACKLIST REPLY REFUSES DE-
MANDs MADE IN PRESIDENT
WILSON'S NOTE. N
LONG FIGHT FOR ALLIES
ENGLISH NOTE DECLARES THERE
Is LONG AN BITTER sTRU0-
GLE BEFORE PEACE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Great Britain's reply
tn President Wilson's note Of last
July, protesting against the blacklist
ing of American business firms and
individuals, was made public at the
State Department. 1t is a rejection of
the American contentious based on
the ground that the British blacklist
is purely domestic legislation.
Secretary Lansing indicated that
the United States will continue the
legal argument involved in the diplo-
matte communications.
The chief defense which the Brit
the blacklist is contained in a single
paragraph. This paragraph reads:
Il can scarcely believe that the
United States government intends to
challenge the right of Great Britain as
a sovereign state to pass legislation
prohibiting all those who owe her al
legiance from trading with any speci-
fled persons when such prohibition Is
found necessary in the public inter
est"
President Wilson, in his note, char
acterized the blacklist as arbitrary
Interference with neutral traue
against which it is it's (the United
States) duty to protest in the most
decided terms"
Great Britain in the reply says the
blacklist is not aimed at neutral trade
at all, but is simply 1.-The exercise OF
tie sovereign right of an independent
state over its own citizens and moth
ing more"
In conclusion the British govern
ment indicates that the true remedy
would be for Americans to refrain
from species of trade which exposes
innocent commerce to suspicion.
A part which attracted much Off
cial notice dealt with the subject of
peace, based on the theory that one
American contention had been that
there exists no military necessity for
the blacklist; that it is unnecessary
for the allies to prejudice neutral COM
merce, and that nothing which hap
pens in distant neutral countries can
influence the result of the great con-
flict.
IF that really were the position, ="
says the note, sit is possible that the
measures taken by his majesty's gov
eminent might be described as un-
called for, but it is not. We may well
wish that 1t were so.
Even though the military situation
of the allies has greatly improved,
there is still long and bitter struggle
in front of them, and one which in
justice to the principles for which they
are fighting. imposes upon them the
duty of employing every opportunity
and every measure which they can
legitimately use to overcome their OPP
ponents."
