 SOUR STOMACH.

Instead of nasty, harsh pllls, salts, don't you keep Cascarets handy in your home? Cascarets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have taken a cathartic, hut they act thor oughly and can be depended upon when a good liver and bowel cleans ing is necessary-they move the bile and poison from the bowels without gripping and sweeten the stomach. You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine, The headache, biliousness, bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach, consti- patton or bad cold disappears. Moth CTS should give cross, sick, feverish or bilious children a whole Cascaret any tirne-they are harmless and safe for the little folks.

 Ia other words Germany is going to squeeze Holland and expects that Hol- iand is going to get relief through this country. Such of course amounts to the game thing as the United States furnishing Germany with the neces- sary fats and therefore maintaining 1t in the war in that respect, But that Is just what this country refuses to do and 1t is highly probable that Hoi- land will be told that it must keep its own necessities at home. and if 1t cannot get the supplies 1t needs from Germany it will have to look in other directions. We have been furnishfng food to the enemy too long already and what has been going in that di- rection can be utilized by ourselves or by our allies. Germany is trying to bring pressure to bear upon this coun try through Holland and that is just what the United States is not going to tolerate.

THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the raising of the second Liberty loan has opened with enthusiasm from one end of the coun- try to the other. There is a recogni- ton Of the fact that there is not only an opportunity given therein for ev- erycne to do his part but there Is a duty involved which cannot be side tracked
 There was a commendable response to the first effort to secure funds for the carrying on of the war. The peo- pie of the country were anxious to subscribe for a much larger sum than was desired at that time. On the oc- casion of this second loan bigger sum is asked for but there is the same determination on the part of the peo- pie to stand behind the government and to lend their dollars in the cause. It is thoroughly understood what the raising of the loan means, what the money is wanted for and how effec- tive every dollar that Is put into it is going to be-
 But while there are less than five per cent of the people who subscribed to the first loan it can be readily ap- preciated that this can be more than doubled in connection with the sec- end loan without tapping to any seri- GUS extent the finapcial resources of the country or the individual
 It Is of course small job to raise three or five billion dollars the largest bond issue of the kind which the country has ever offered, but with the whole nation determined that it will be success there can be no other outcome. The task Is set for accomplishment within the present month and with everyone putting his shoulder to the wheel and doing his part there need be no question as to the outcome.

 Not Hostile to German People.
 One thought which you should keep always in mind is the clear distiHc- Imperial German government and our attitude toward the German people. The President said in his speech of June IA, 1917:
 We are not the enemies of the German people and they are not our enemies. They did not originate or desire this hideous war or wish that we should be drawn into it; and we are vaguely conscious that we ars day see it, as we'll as our own. They are themselves in the grip of the same sinister power that has now at last stretched It's ugly taions out and drawn blood from .us.''
 Every American soldier in this war fights for objects dearer to all Of us than life itself-for freedom and de- mocracy, for the safety of our own homes and families, for the honor of of these objects during your period of training and eafter you actually enter the trenches. The more you think about them, the greater will be your pride that you are one of those first chosen to defend them.

MORE sHIPsa

There are some who think they can- not understand the reason for the apA peal which has just been made by the British ship controller in behalf of an increased production of merchant ships. but with the handicaps which are being placed in the way of ship construction in different sections it would seem that the object of the an nouncement and appeal was to bring the people to a deeper realization of the. need Of not only using every fa- .ctlity which is at our command but to eliminate all obstacles which stand in the way of providing the necessary cooperation on the part of labor.
 What the U-boa. campaign is ac- complishing, in spite of the best ef forts which are being put ferth by .he combined allied forces including the assistance which this country is rendering. IS well set forth in the as- sertion that the losses in shipping have been as great since last Feb ruary as they were during the whole period of the war previous to that time and that 1t Is figured that there will be 200 more vessels sunk between now and spring than the allies, in cluding this country, can construct.

It is certainly not a time fer embarrassing this industry or for letting up in ef- forts in this direction just because the submarine fighters have had a particularly good week.

When your baby is cross and fretful the chances are it is constipated and that a mild laxative is all that is neces- ,ary to make it comfortable and happy. inactive bowels arc the cause of as much discomfort to children es to older people, and unless the condition is promptly relieved is very apt to develop serious iIlness.

THE ELECTION RESULTS.

In keeping with what was expected if the vote was brought out, the town election on Monday was a republican n victory, the entire ticket with one ex- ceptfon being elected. Keen interest and good weather worked in harmony with the result that in spite of the fact that many of the voters are away at the forts or in the training camp there were 5e5 more ballots cast for se1ectmen this year than there were two years ago. and the result cannot be looked upon otherwise than an endorsement of the manner in which the town has been conducted during the past two yearsx for though the normal party majority IS smaller Selectmsn Bailey is returned to of- dce by a majority almost five times as large as he received in 1915. The re- suit insures two more years of the sound and businessliSe administration that has characterized the past two.

A STiFFER EMBARGO.

There is an important part which this country has got to play in keep ing its supplies away from Germany It has not only got to see that none is shipped directly to that country but greater attention must be given to preventing those exports which are finding their way through neutral countries to the central powers for the maintenance of the army which this nation is sending its soldiers to fight.
 Legislation has been passed which makes it possible to prevent the ex- porting of foodstuffs but even a strict CT embargo than has already been es- tablished is likely over the situation which has developed in Holland.

THE mEsoeoTAMIAN OFFENSIVE

For the first time in some weeks
 the war reports contain reference to activity the Mesopotamian front
 which indicates that the British in that section have been held back sole ly by the terrific summer heat. The resumption cf the offensive by Gen era1 Marde's forces together with the capture of Turkish stronghold and the corraling of General Ahmed Bey with his, staff and over thousand prisoners demonstrates not only the strength of the British in that region but that early opera lions have been started for the purpose of breaking g up any plans which the Turks may have for moving against Bagdad.
 At the same time the bringing into play of this army in the east and the increasing of the menace which it offers to the Turks from the rear must be looked upon as part of the pro- gramme for keeping the enemy en- gagged upon all fronts at the same time.
 For some time Turkey has not been called upon to do much fighting at nome. Many Turkish troops have been sent against the Rumanians and the Russians and recent prisoners on the Italian front show that Turkish troops were being used by the Aus trians in their endeavor to hold back the persistent advance of General Cadorna's army. But with General Maude pushing ahead again, with the Arabs threatening increased trouble and the probability of an early re- sumption of activities in the Palestine region Turkey is going to have p;en~ ty to attend to at home and the Brit sh force at Bagdad can be expected 10 render important service now that 1t has resumed the offensive
