THE GREAT
QUESTION
!?
PART I.

What is my duty, what is tht
most sensible and profitable course
for me to follow in my private ant
business affairs during the continu
ance Of the war?
TIL s is the great question con
fronting every American citizen.
Here Is a common-sense reply:
Before we can settle the matter II
I detail we must grasp those element
ary principles which govern nationa
| affairs.
This does not involve great learn
ing or research, for economic knowl
edge is little else than common-sense
applied to big subjects.
The war VIII be won by the Ma
tion which can place the greatest
number of men, the greatest amount
of material in the field, and produce
the greatest amount of foodstuffs to
supply its military and civilian
forces. This fact is so generally
recognized that it is not necessary
to bring forward elaborate argu.
ments to prove 1t.
We are wealthy Nation, and the
question arises as to whether or not
g can w,n the war by throwing our
surplus wealth into the struggle.
We cannot.
Why? Because our savings, as a
Nation, amounted to about Billion
Dollars annually before we entered
the war, and our war estimates for
the first years operations call for
an expenditure of about Eighteen
Billion Dollars, or over 31a times as
much as we have saved ever before
In one year.
Now, there are three courses open
to us. We can endeavor to produce
Sla times as much wealth this year
as ever we did before. We can en-.
deavor to save 3B times as much
money as ever we did before. We
can lie down on the whole PROPOSE
on, and let Germany win.
Having described this article
as commonsense reply to a great
question, we will eliminate the last
mentioned possibility.
We cannot produce 31s times as
much wealth this year as ever be-
fore. 1t will take several years to
adjust our affairs so as to produce
such results.
To save 31s times as much a,
ever we have before is quite posi-.
Bile, but would mean actual hard
ship for millions of our people.
The most sensible solution of the
problem is to aim at combination
Of production and self-denial which
viii find us at the end of a year
at least 3h times wealthier as
nation, than ever before.
The method Indicated has been fol
lowed by our Allies with results that
have astonished the world. After
2hs years Of physical and financial
strain, England raised recently

An Old Mans Stomach

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If toe
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of IS or 80, you will find
that he is light eater. Be as careful
as. YOU will. however, you will OCCASION

feel the need of Chamberlain Tablets

what will happen if it should refuse
to accept the burden we are trying
to impose on it, we come to a plain
fact that the guardians Of our uncle
ignore entirely.
Our beloved uncle has an income,
yearly one, of around six billion to
eight billion dollars. But his stupid
guardians are allowing this income
to be collected and used by sundry
private individuals and greedy cor
pOTatiOns, many of whom are for
eigners and most of whom are as ig-
nOrant in the matter as Uncle Sans
guardians.
This income lies in the land values
of the republic. All of the unim-
proved value of the land of what
ever kind or nature, mineral land,
agricultural land, land used for high
ways by transportation companies,
water power land, quaTTies, forests,
sWamps, terminal points, water
fronts, ETC., comes from the fact that
our beloved uncle has given and con-
tinUes to guarantee the title and pos
session forever to the present posses
sOTs, their heirs and assigns. This
plumber is what we are going to fight
about now. Germany wants to grab
off a lot that is in possession of other
nations. She threatens Uncle Sam.
So we must fight. This tremendous
wealth of six to eight billions a year
increases with each increase of pop
UlatiOn, with every new discovery
that adds to the power Of man to
produce wealth, and this value is not
produced by the owners of the land.
1t is the result of the presence of
Uncle Sans nephews and nieces>
upon the land and their industry and
labor in using such of the land as the
owners of natural opportunities will
permit to be used. Being thus pro-
duced, it belongs to our uncle. It is
his natural revenue, and if his guard

EXTERMINATE WHITE PLAGUE.
This nation is entering the war.
We know that our food supply is
short and that it will soon be short
er. I believe that l have a remedy.
It will pass it on to Uncle Sam gratis.
First, we must produce more edibles
on our farms. Secondly, we must get
men to till the soil, naturally a diff
cult task.
I suggest a way to get men, which
method at the same time will bene-
fit all mankind and make this the
healthiest nation on earth. Sta
tistics show that there are 25,OOO,OOO
people in the U. S. who are in the
first stage of tuberculosis. My idea is
to have Uncle Sam start a large farm
in each state, on which all persons
having the first stages Of tuberculosis
are to live and work. Plenty Of out
door life will cure almost all of them.
The women could go, too. There
is a lot Of work for women on farms.
All the young men who. are rejected
at the recruiting stations, but who
are not tubercular, could work in our
munitiOn plants. Doctors agree that
medicine will not cure tuberculosis.
Live in the open is their advice.
Well, what's better than working
on a farm owned by Uncle Sam? A
farm free from graft, as are half the
municipal sanitaTiums. Our uncle
could make these farms permanent
and in ten years we could almost
clear the United States Of the white
plague.
The farms could supply our army
and navy with food. Moreover, the
common people will not be held up
