W0UI- b YOU WIN SUGGEST
Then Play the Game Of Safety First,
and Play It Well.

All the world loves a winner when
the contest has been fairly played.
The local baseball team receives far
greater enthusiasm and support when
it is winning than when 1t Is repeated
ly losing. We praise the accomplish
ment of difficult feat. Each one Of
us halls tie skill and tenacity of pur-
pose that puts over any great achieve
ment. Things requiring the clear
head, the watchful eye. the skillful
hand and the bulldog grip of determi-
nation get our hearty commentator.
Said Abraham Lincoln, Il don't think
much of the man who is not wiser to-
day than he was yesterday No truer
words could be written of the safety
first game. If you would be winner,
each day must find you wiser, keener
and more alert than the day before.
It Is contest in which we match our
determination to have. no suffering
from accidents to ourselves and fellow
men against little acts of thoughtless-
ness and carelessness that bring these
results.
Nor Is this game ever ended. Each
new day calls for better score. New
conditions surround US, and all of our
faculties, the best that is in us, are
challenged to increased effort To
have our work really well done it must
be safely done, and none of us wants
any less than the best.
For your own sake, for the sake of
the family at home, the wife and chill
dren, the mother or sister, play the
game, and play it well. Play it with
the interest the spirit, the enthusiasm,
that will make you win. 1t will take
all your skill and ability to play it
right.
Yesterday is gone-forget it.
Tomorrow is yet to come-plan for 1t.
Today is here-use it. - Common

ACTORS OUT OF A JOB.
No Matter How Discouraged, They
Must Smile and Look Prosperous.


In the American Magazine Walter
Prichard Eaton says:
Did you ever hunt for a job-any
job? 1t isn't form of indoor or out
door sport that YOU would naturally
choose. is it? 1t doesn't add greatly
to your self esteem, your self conf
dence, the development of your pow
ers, to come home tired and discour
aged night after night. And player
folk are peculiarly sensitive to such
influences. or they would not be play
ers. 1t is bad enough to rust in idle
ness, but it is worse to feel that you
are not wanted or that you are for
gotten OF that you have to be judged
by ignorant men, even by office boys,
your chance even to earn a living de-
pending on the tastes of those you Of
ten despise.
yet the actor or the actress must
show none of this feeling. He or she
must keep up a smiling front, must
look prosperous and well dressed,
youthful and charming, for the shah
by actor has no chance at all. Walk
along Broadway in July when the
casts are being selected for the follow
ing season and observe the players on
the sidewalks, conversing on the cor
ners, coming out Of the Office buildings.
The men are jaunty; they swing sticks;
they look just shade too fashion
able The women wear their prettiest
frocks and always silk stockings. But
sometimes you catch worried look on
their faces, look even of apprehen-
sion. Alone and a mask seems to
drop. Not all of them go to the Knick.
erbocker for luncheon-far from 1t.
There are little cubbyhole lunchrooms
where you will find these cane swing
ing and silk stockinged bearers of the
banner of romance. They are hunting
jobs, and some of them in vain"

and measures, stated that every available
cold storage place in New York city was
full to its capacity" Butter, cheese and
eggs have come into the city till the mar

maintained by storage. The retailers
charge the blame upon the wholesalers
and the wholesalers sit tight and place
the blame on the retailers. Govern

STRONGER MEDICINE NEEDED.

Just because we fight without rancor
and without selfish object, seeking moth
ing for ourselves but what we shall wish
to share with all free people, we shall,
feel confident, conduct our operations as
belhgerentS without passion and our
selves observe with proud punctilio the
principles of right and of fair play we
profess to be fighting for.
1T will be all the easier for us to con-
duct ourselves as belligerents iii high
spirit of right and fairness because we
act without animus, not with enmity
toward people or with the desire to
bring any injury or disadvantage upon
them, but only in armed opposition to
an irresponsible Government which has
thrown aside all considerations of human
ity and of right and is running amuck. J"
These fragments from President Will
sons war message remind US Of what a
lady in this city once said of her physi-
clan. Il adore the DOCTOR" said she,
because he expresses himself so beauti-
fully and has such charming bedside
manners. But really, sometimes think
he does not prescribe the right kind of
medicine" The President makes mis-
take in giving the country sweetened
water when the symptoms indicate that
a powerful tonic is needed. He makes
another mistake when he allows Aunty
Baker and Granny Daniels to totter about
the sick room with bottle of paregoric
in one hand and bowl of catnip tea in
the other
The Germans sunk the Lustania and
caused the death of many of our citizens,
without cause and with malice afore-
thought. They have been guilty of piracy
with contemptuous disregard of our prop
erty rights or of the lives of our seamen
They have filled our country with spies
who have plotted against our peace and
security, They have intrigued with the
negroes of the south in an endeavor to
promote riots. They have held out prom
ises to induce Mexico to strike at our
southwestern States. They have lied to
US, insulted US and despised US If we
had remained neutral they would have
fought us if they succeeded in conquering
the Allies. Now that we are in the war,
if they are not defeated they will exact
an indemnity that will make the Liberty
Loan look like shekel We are going
to fight in self defence. We are going to
fight to punish the Germans for what
they have done to us, and to put it out of
their power to do it again. This is not
going to be a six round bout with no de-
cision, when the principals shake hands
before they begin the show and take a
drink together after it is over. This is
going to be real fight, fight like that
be tween Davy Crockett and the bear.
Before the fight is over the President may
get as full of rancor, passion and enmity
as his people already are. When the
President insisted that Mr. Roosevelt
should 60 home to Oyster Bay and cool
off, the war enthusiasm of the country
collapsed. 1t can only be revitalized by
the dismissal of incompetent officials and
the display of some real warlike spirit by
our Commander in Chief.
Conquering Germany is the first task.
Wecan decide later whether the remnants
of the present empire shall be governed
by democracy or an autocracy. 1t is a
w aSte of time to talk about that now.

A TOAST.

Here's to the end of kings and queens,
And general stats and submarines!
Here's to the day when men, grown wiser
Refuse to bow to car or kaiser!
Here's to the end of shrapnel shell!
Here's to the end of war and hell,
The wrecks of men, the hate, the fears,
The wounds, the mighty flood of tears!
Here's to the end of exploitation,
Poverty's grinding degradation,
The waste of competition dead,
And one grand commonwealth instead!
Here's to the day that is to be,
With man and child and woman free!
Here's to the end of all autocracy'
Here's to the coming world democracy!

Lift Your C0rns
Off With Fingers
Tells How To Loosen Tender Corn or
Callous so it Lifts Out Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who are pes
tered with corns and who have at least once q
week invited an awful death from lockjaw or
blood poison are now told by Cincinnati eu-
tbority TO use drug called freezone. which
the moment few drops are applied to any
corn or calors the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn or callous. root and all.
lifts off with the fingers.
Freezope dries the moment it is applied.
and simply shrivels the corn or callous without
iutismipg or Initiating the surrounding tissue
or skin. small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores. but will
positively rid ores feet of every hard or soft
corn or hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it at any whole-
sale drug house for you
