Cooks, Whiskey, Tires,
Germs and Junk

Cooks often spoil patches of flour
for bread, but we eat it, so more men
die from stomach diseases than Shis-
key. Old style tires are often worth
less new. Mrs. Smell and DR.. Schrei-
ner got such lately. The heat that
cures rubber spells cotton inside. while
nothing destroys asbestos, a mineral.
Man dies from germs throwing off heat
and moisture. Our blood or rotting
posts furnish no better soil for germs
than exposed cotton. wet outside and
heat on both sides. J.CGrry, who wore
out 7 tire sets year, bought two as
bestos lately. Buchanan bought two
for poor tires on his bus and | bought
three. A tire is as stout as its weak
est part. Your wife or boy would see
this on seeing 800 partly worn tires
sold to Sam Gross at SOC. Don't be
too lazy TO think. Railroads are re-

! AMERICA MUST WIN THE WAR

which cannot be repeated too often,
that If the United States IS to continue
a free and independent nation and If
human liberty is 10 be secured to the

pend upon her own resources. starva-
ton would break the effectiveness. if
not the spirit, Of her people, and her
colonies would be barred By the pi-
rates Of the seas from extending aid.
Russia cannot do it: even though she
should succeed in saving hersel her
power TO render affirmative assistance
is broken. Al of the allies combined.
including Italy, Japan, China, and the
minor states, negligible as deternin-
ing factors, cannot DO it; so much we
now know, as Of the day when God
be praised. America assumed her
rjghtful place beside he indicators
of civilization. Not that Germany
could have conquered those hundred
millions OF free.men. Never. But
neither, in the light Of recent develop
mentS, IS it conceivable that they. in
turn, could have achieved a victory
that would have insured an enduring
peace.
50 America must win the war. That
is the one overpowering fact we must
keep constantly in mind to the ex
clusion Of all other purposes and con-
sideratioas; not merely because it ex-
lists but as guide for ali actions and
all our thoughts.
WHERE GERMANY Is WEAK
A. Curtis Roth, in Worlds Work. -
The German fighting machine is still |
in splendid condition. There are no
signs that this machine is wearing
down. According to every indication, |
it is still fully equal to all its tremen-
dous Iabors. Danger IS not in pros
pect from without the wall of trenches
and naval guns. It is threatening
from within. from the ranks of a
tagged, dispirited, tormeuted people. |
grown sullen in their misery.
\ mass of pamphlets and loose leaves
Of the peace propaganda were circu-
lated from hand to hand among the
people. Some of these we're drawn ND
in very daring terms. A number of
-Eem came to my hand through
young German socialist. The para
graph below couceaIs the fuse which
will ultimately fire the blast of revo-
luton:
I'VE are winning victories and
to death. We are devasta-
ting even more of ourneighbors' lands
and dying of slow starvation. We are
lefying the angers Of world in arms
and staring ruin in the face. The
physical strength Of our people is ex-
lausting; the financial power of our
lation is exhausting: our supplies of
Jaw materials are exhausting; our
great organizations for the work of
7eace are slowly disintegrating. We
must have peace. If our government
'annot procure US peace, what must
We do?"
