TROUBLE NARROWLY AvERTED

Bat for the timely interference
Of neighbors this city last week
came near Witnessing a tragedy ow-
ing to the statement of a man that
he chopped that every ship that Uncle
Sam sent across the ocean would be
sunk This statement, it is under
stood. has been made by a citizen
living in the western end of the city
on several occasions and when he
repeated this to a citizen who has a
son in tine army It so aroused him
that but for several friends restrain
ing him he would have done bodily
injury to the man. A man that
would make a statement such as
that accredited to the above citizen
should be handled by the authorities
and we understand that the matter
Is beng looked into.
Any man that is getting his living
here and receiving the protection of
this great government owes alleg-
lance to our flag, and as far as we
are concerned we hope that every
man that is not loyal to the stars
and stripes will be deported.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed you have rumoling sound im- perfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many eases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is an unframed condition of the mucous sur faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists, 75c.

THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

Broadly speaking, the Red Cross War Council has proceeded upon the theory that the present work of the American Red Cross should contribute to these great aims:
 l. To be ready to care for our soldiers and sailors duty wherever and whenever that care may be needed.
 9 To shorten the War-by strengthening the morale of the allied peoples and their arm ies, by alleviating their sufferings in the per iod which must elapse until the American army can become fully effective abroad.
 B. To lay foundations for an enduring peace-by extending message of practical relief and sympathy to the civilian population among our Allies, carrying to them K pression of the finest side of the American char acter.
 The principal purposes of the American Red Cross in its work in the United States may be summarized as follows:
 l. To take such measures as are neces- sary in cooperation with the Army and Navy, for the protection of the health and welfare of soldiers in camps and cantonments, and of civilians whose welfare is involved in war conditions.
 ?. To stimulate and guide the volunteer work of women in the manufacture of supplies and comforts needed by troops and civilians abroad and by men in training in this country.
 3. To cooperate with the Government and with all relief agencies in caring for the dependent families of men in the military and naval service, and to relieve suffering caused by any disaster.
 f. To maintain at the lowest cost consist ent with efficiency, machinery to assure the uninterrupted performance of these duties and of the relief work in Europe

proving the alliance for labor and democracy. That organization came into being largely through the efforts of Samuel Gompers at time when the peoples council and other pa cifst, socialist proGerman organizations were claiming that American labor was op posed to the war and in favor of patched-up peace. They hoped to stampede labor into their organizations by the unusual misrepre senations and appeals to misplaced benevo- lence.
 The alliance for labor and democracy was formed to give labor patriotic organization, in which it should be represented and the country supported. The vote to approve this organization was vote against Nearing, Hil- quit, La Toilette, the peoples council, the I. w. w., all their like and all their works. The American Federation will have none of them and that means that labor as a whole in this country is sound.

UPON EARTH PEACE AND GOOD WILL TO MEN.

We are experiencing the first Christmas spent in war for a number of years. Those who have experienced this situation before are feeling the oppression more than to those of us to whom the reality of war is yet to be real- zed
 Christmas is the Christ time, a time of re- joicing because of the birth of Savior to the world The world at the time of his birth was heavily oppressed with the weight of sin War prevailed throughout the land, and to re- lieve the suffering and distress, Christ was sent among men that hope might be instilled into the hearts of all and Peace be proclaimed There were those who did not believe that the promise of Saviour to the world would be fulfilled. Others were anxiously awaiting the fulfllment of this glorious promise. The Star of Bethlehem appeared othe Wise Men, and upon following its course they came upon the Saviour in His humble cradle Immediately upon knowledge of His birth the Angels form ed chorus singing, ='Upon Earth Peace and Good Will to All Men," At what other Christmas in the memory of the most of us could this carol be more appropriate?
 Again war prevails throughout the land and there is suffering and distress to be re- ieved Suffering humanity is crying aloud TOT the IulHllnenC Ol tuc SOuS sung So fully years ago. It is the duty of mankind to establish this Peace and Good Will heralded by the Angels above at the coming of a Saviour to the world. To establish peace but how is the question that has puzzled the mind since the Christian world began. Time and again has the world been thrown into state of war in or der that wrongs might be righted and peace be secured and still we are seeking.
 This year has brought war into our homes; there are those vaiantly gone forth in order to set the world at rest and right in the eyes of the Almighty. To those who remain be- hind is given the task of sending money, foods, medicine, help both physical and moral to aid them in the strife. These are the gifts we must give to humanity to hasten the end of turmoil and to bring about the dawn of peace.
 Blow bugles of battles, the marches of peace;
 East west, north and south, let the long quarrel cease,
 Sing the song of great joy that the An gels began,
 l Sing of glory, to God and of good will to mani
 Harkl joining in chorus
 The Heavens bend er us
 The dark night is ending, and dawn has begun.

This is cold weather sub ject and hence in season. Our pur. pose in this deliverance is to effect more temperate future climate for folks
