Lloyd George, Pershing, Haig
and Scott

Strong endorsement of the Y M c. A. war work among the
men is given by such leaders Premier David Lloyd
George General John Perhng Sir Douglas Hag and General
Hugh Scott They the ground touch with the
work of the M c. A. and with every phase of armv work
Here is what David Lloyd George has to say:
Wherever go, hear nothing but good of the work the
M A. doing throughout the country we owe debt
of gratitude Whatever legal duties may imposed upon us
citizens there will always be plenty for voluntary effort to do
General Persang is quoted as follows
The work now being done by the Y. M c. A. for the COM
fort and entertainment of soldiers France is very
tant AS organization its moral influence highly beneficial
1t performs real service that makes for contenmen The
A. has its place by unsefsh personal devotion to the
soldiers welfare and deserves support bv orr neoo

Field Marshal Haig gives this endorsement:
No can be long in France England without reaz,
the immense value of the v NJ c. the constant
OF its activities itself tefes the high regard in which i
held by our soldiers"
After his trip through Russia the Balkans General Scott
said: ~

MRS. JOSEPH SNYDER,
zs2 Hudson st.. Timn. Ohio.
Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases SO
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

Trouble With Anufic

Many folks in pnr State have suffered
from rheumatism and kidney trouble and
have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome that pain
full and dangerous ailment.
The lucky people are those who have
suffered, but who are now we'll because
they needed natures warning signal in
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of DIR. Pierce's

You should promptly heed these warn

which would follow the end of war, also
larger crops next season which high
prices would naturally bring. At present
there is no means of checking this un-

Would Increase Taxes.
The immediate effect of war would
be increased taxes, large boud issues,
heavy orders for military supplies, the
rushing forward OF naval construction
and recruiting of large numbers of men
fer the army, who would be thus with
drawn from various employments and
add to the problems of the labor situa-
tion Several months must elapse be-
fore any considerable military force
could be dispatched to Europe, and it is
not known in what direction our naval
forces would be employed, though de-
fense would naturally receive first at
tention. Meanwhile we could still offer
considerable aid to the allies, since our

could be readily enlarged. In many
directions preparedness, though far from
complete, is well advanced as to first
steps, simply because the mobilization
of finance, industry and transportation
had been planned ahead sufficiently to
render execution comparatively easy.
Just how the stock market will be-
have in event of hostilities it is diff
ficult to estimate. The prevalent opinion
is that war has been discounted and
that after the first shock, which may
cause a fall, there will come a general
recovery owing to relief from suspense
and expectation of war initiation. This
market has been well liquidated dur
ing the last two months, and there is a
great abundance of capital awaiting in

overlook the effect of impending heavy
government issues, domestic and for

for funds and cause frequent shifting
of high priced investments yielding low
returns to some of the new government
issues which offer safe and more at
tractive returns. Then there is always
the possibility, increasing each day, of
an early and unexpected ending of the
war which would of course preeipitate
a fresh readjustment in business affairs
throughout the civilized world. For
these and other reasons, no enga gements
