The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all of its stages and that is ca tarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions requires constitutional treatment. Halls Oatarrah Med icine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mu- ous Surfaces of the System thereby destroying the founda- tion of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its wook. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Halls Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

The Government is still unable to secure sufficient eligibles qualified in stenography and typewriting to meet the needs of the service.
 It is possible. even probable, that at no distant date the number of trained stenographers and typewriters in the country will be less than the number of positions calling for such special knowledge Obviously, the thing to do is to encourage the training of more stenographers and typewriters. Young men and women who take up a course of Stenography and type writing are practically sure of an offer of the Government employment at a salary from $900 to Sl2O0 year when they shall have qualified in the Commissions examinations.

MUCH OF THE FAULT OURS

This cruel war may be pro- longed for many months, and even years, but if so, much ot the fault will rest with America. If the American people had read ilv and eagerly responded to the call tor volunteers, aud had giv- en Prr>id mt Wilson a powerful army, at once, Germany would have seen the hand dwriting on the wall" and got off it's high horse. ere this; but as 1t is, we will have to do some good fight ing to retrieve our lost opportu. mites The volunteering of 10000. 900 men, right of the re-, l. would have been such a revelation to Germany that 1t would have been ready for peace, on any terms, and peace, w uld, most likely, have been effected without our loss of a single man. And, then, again, our b .ck- biters and assailants, at home. would have been si- fenced This. however, was not done. and now to win the war and save our fair land from de structiou by German hordes, many of our boys will shed their blood on foreign battle fields, but in SD doing 1t will be for lib erty and independence; and while they are at 1t, for their sake and tor the good name of the land that gave them birth, our government should see to 1t that the agitators and traducers of American policy were silenced
 Encouragement given to the en-  emy by the people in this coun- try should cease and cease at once. The lives of our boys are too sacred to be sacrificed by the co~a dly CUTS who would attempt to keep others from go- ing to their relief.
 We have, now, possibly 100 i, GOO brave soldiers in France, fighting or ready to fight for the glory of this republic and the world. and they may need oth CTS to help win the day; and the man. or set of men, who stays in the back ground, and works to keep others from going is an arch-enemy to his coun- try. The proper spirit for the American people now to adopt
The Monticellonian., 1917-08-16

is to stand together as one man and give to the world lesson that where one of our citizens IS sent, on duty bound, he will be protected if every able bodied man in our nation has to folio w him.
 It is a hell of a doctrine that IS now being preached by a few malcontents in this country, that no soldier could be sent across the ocean against his will, and insisting upon it that none of them go. It is playing pol icv to Germany; it is an advoca- cy of the slaughter and sacrifice of our brave men already there. Every brave man should be will ing to go to the rescue of his countrvmen whenever and wherever called; but If there are those who would shirk such re sponsibilitv, we are, indeed, thankful that there is a way of getting them, where they are needed.

"WAKE UP! WE NEED YOU.'

The above significant words are alleged to have been posted, recently, in a Confederate ceme tery. And when we read in the current papers the many and va ried excuses offered by men, un- der the selective draft, to keep out of the army, we are deeply impressed with their truth. It is a burning shame on American manhood that we have degener- ated from the brave and daunt- less sires of fifty years ago to a cringing, begging effeminaney. The publication of the excuses, being daily made, has heralded ns to the world as a land of cow ards: and there should be DO surprise that the Imperial and autesratie German Government is making all manner of fun of onr valor und fighting qualities Ifthere were anything more needed to encourage Germany in its infamous world destroying policy, the effort we are making to raise an army would be ann ply sufficient.
 Wake up, old boys, we need you!' We need you to inspire our bows to braver deeds and nobler ambitions. We need YOU to shame the stacker and de- nounce the traitor. We need you to carry our flag where bullets sing and shrieking shells are loudest, and lead our army to victory. But, in passing, we do not desire to be misunderstood in our estimate of American manhood: for we have brave men. now-worthy sons If wor- thv sires-who do not think it "alI of life to live.o We have them in the training camps; we have them on the battle line, and to these brave men we look !, with confidence, for the vindica- tion of American valor.
 FeS people want war. It IS not a thing devoutly to be wish ed for, but hen 1t is thrust up on us we should and must meet it in the spirit of our departed heroes, who are calmly sleeping on
