NUNS WASH FOR US. BlUEJACKETS
Special Correspondence A. p.

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA, BRITISH WATERS. June 27.-(By Mail) )-Cloister nuns in home for Sisters of Good shepard near the base from winch the American fotillas aye operating against submarine s. have been doing a thriving laundry business among the bluejackcts. Through the intercession of two of their devoted women friends with the American consul and Vice Admiral Sims, the nuns obtained permis iicn 10 receive any wolk the American navel men were willing to turl over to them. When tlc jack .ars learned that this was virtually the only means Of support the secluded women had, they at on e showed In eagerness 'to aid. As result, there has been a growing laundry list each week
 Although the nuns have been de- voting many hours daily to this work, they never see the young Americans who have been so generous in their patronage. The laundry is sent to the convru, IT. m"tor I.,U1ohc5 from the American dtstrry"rS as they rc turn from pItrol duty. The blue jackets declare the work is such as to make the modern American laun- dryman envious and at prices consid- crably lower than on the other side of the Atlantic.
 The work the nuns are doIng is, of course. only a small part of the fleets washday output. The great bulk of it is done on board the supply or mother ship in an electrically operated laundry which is said to be the most complete ever seen in this part of the world. Prices charged the men are less than half of those charged by American iaundries. Collars are one cent each, socks per pair one cent negligcc shirts five cents and towels five mills. Ninety per cent of the re- ccipts are divided among the laun- drymen, while the remaining ten per cent covers the losses and cost of soap supplies. One of the features of the ships laundry is a miniature soap factory

lnueeu tncfe are not IcW WHO HOlu that the confiscation of excessive in comes is justifable at all times It is pointed out that under the present economic system the great bulk of the worlds wealth has been steadily drifting into the hands of compara- lively few people. Through condi- tons which cannot be looked upon as other than detrimental to the great mass of the people. a few persons have been enabled to segregate to themselves great part of the wealth of the world-not by producing or creating but by the mere manipula- ton of their surplus wealth.
 That such condition is abnormal and unhealthy cannot be consistently denied. Indeed, there is no possible ju stifcation for a state of things which permits few persons to be- come the possessors of a vast amount of wealth which they cannot employ to any other purpose than to increase their already plethoric possessions, while the masses of the world grow steadily poorer.
 The contention of economic philoso- phers that conditions which place all the wealth in the hands of the few without beneftting the mass are un- reasonable and, in the last anaylsis 1 destructive to the economic fabric Of national life. is founded on an incon- trovertible basis of logic.
 l Regardless of this contention, there 1 is simple justification for the conscrip-
 tion of excessive wealth in times of national emergency. The mass of the people are called upon in such pc
 riods to furnish the great majority
 of the soldiers and sailors and pre-
 serve the national security. only a few of those who are called upon for
 such duty have big incomes Most of
 those who acquire big incomes do not obtain them until they are past 1 the age for military service
 In any event, the man who enlists makes the greatest sacrifice as he not | only offers his life on the altar of his country, but loses opportunities for getting ahead in the world at the
 most valuable period of his life.
 Hence 1t is not in any sense fair I that those who possess great wealth 1 but can give no other assistance to l their country should be spared when { the hour for national sacrifice appears If the possessors of great wealth have nothing else 10 give to their country, they can at least give that portion of their incomes which cannot 1 by any form of reasoning be looked upon as necessary to their wants. Considering that those with small incomes are ones who are called upon to make the supreme sacrifice in pc riods of strife, it tis surely no more than right that the wealthy should give plentiously of their riches and espe- cially of that portion which is over and above their needs.

DEMOCRACY INCREASING.

There is probably no better evidence of the increasing democracy of the world than the conscrption of wealth which has taken place in all the bel iigerent European countries and which is about to take place in our own country as a result of conditions forced upon us by the war.
 Although those who have a great leal to lose as result of wealth onscription probably consider gov rnment confscation of their dollars
 something in the nature of an out
 5e yet it is impossible to deny tbat ,uch action is justified in periods of emergency when the national sccuri- Y Is at stake.

WORTH MORE THAN ALL
MONEY IN MISS.
That's What J o Ingram Says
About Tanlac = Troubles of
Ten Years Standing Over
come.

No sir, l wouldn't take all the
money in the state of Mississippi
for the good Tanlac has done me. "
said ] 0 Ingram, well-to-do
young farmer of Byhalia, recently
when talking with friends con-
corning the great Improvement in
his health.
If there ever was a man who
suffered with indigestion and ner-
vousness, | was the man, for |
went through ten years of misery
on account of that sort of trouble.
Any kind of victuals just kept me
in agony for hours after I'd eat.
especially when / ate anything that
had grease in it.
was so nervous that | could
hardly go to sleep and when l did
drop off to sleep, even the noise
of a dog barking anywhere on the
place would wake me up and !
would have an awful time getting
back to sleep.
Il took enough medicines to
make small drug store almost,
trying to get we'll, but nothing
seemed to do me any good and l
just kept going down hill. /
heard so much about this Tanlac
that | thought might as we'll try
it and see what it would do, so /
bought bottle and started taking
it.
We'll sir, before | got through
taking the first bottle | was actu..
ally eating anything l could get
and was just hungry all the time.
My stomach digests meats and
solid food as easily as it ever di
in my life. and / am gaining in
weight and strength all the time.
/ can lay down aud sleep all night
like a baby and get up in the
morning feeling as lively as
young colt and my nerves are
as steady as a rock"
Mr. Ingram's case while remark
able, is only one of the many hun
dreds who have taken Tanlac with
the same results. Tanlac proved
great benefit to Mr. Ingram be-
cause it contains certain medicinal
properties which enrich the blood
and promote healthy appetite for
nourishing food, thus helping to
build up flesh and strength in a
natural way. Tanlac has been
very successful in overcoming ner-
vousness and sleeplessness, not
from a quoting effect on the
nerves, for it has no such effect,
but by strengthening the nerves
and body and bringing back the
normal state of health through its
effect on the appetite and nutrition
of the body,
Genuine Tanlac bears the names
of G IF Willis and the Cooper Med
icine Company and is sold in Iuka
exclusively by ] c Jourdan. and in
Belmont by Belmont Drug Co.,
