alert so that they can better one hun
dred fold fight the battles of life.
There are good many other things
about which one could write if time
would permit, but the time is fast fly
ing and will have to bring this to a
close. However, in closing there are
two observances l might make. The
class of men met here is naturally
very different from the regular soldiers
because they vary from the highest
class, the captains of industry drawing
salaries from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually and every varied class, profes-
sional men of the highest types, actors,
athletes, skilled mechanics and trades
men to the common tramps and all of
these types among the privates. OF
course the ambitious do not remain
long in the ranks. For example, !
know a case of man, not doctor
either, enlisting in the sanitary corps
as private six months ago and he
has Just received a commission as a
first lieutenant. There are lot Of
young doctors who were drafted and
only got into the ambulance corps as
privates, but the majority of these are
climbing right on up even though it
is tough on them. And this brings
to us the main point, that the spirit
with which everyone works makes you
wonder how it can be done.
When you consider the sacrifices Sc
many have made and are forced to
make, we must admit that it is evi-
dence of the revival of the spirit that
wins wars and the sooner the whole
United Statesmen, women and chill
dren, can look at these conditions in
the same light and all pull together,
the sooner this world war will be over
lfthat same spirit could predominant
the world at this time, the road would
be paved for world perpetual peace
Everyone must make sacrifices fol
these big things which are before us
The time is at hand when we must al
make our stand for or against the gov
ernment. We can't sit on the fenc'
and hold our hands. Those who can
fight, can Hooverize and that doesn'
mean Bt9hayy t9 buy up supplies a day or tw,
ahead of the Hoover days and thel
sneakingly eat the forbidden. People
who do are not the red-blooded Amer
icans-that is a cinch.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in.
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
