Somehow one can but have a sneaking suspicion that it is the rich folks that are opposing President Wilson's plan for universal military service. Under the oia system Of doing things, it will be remembered by some, the rich men could hny themselves out, secure a 'substi- tute," and quietly live at home on the fat of the land while the other fellow fought, suffered and perhaps died The better way is Wilson's way-to let every man bear his own share Of the burden.

When President Wilson issued his call for National Preparedness he asked the people to produce food, not to gobble it up and hoard it. He asked folks to be economical, to stop waste. There was nothing very startling about that, but a lot of folks got scared. But, after all, if we will do our best to Produce, and to Save, little scare won't hurt us.

The old idea that the rich make war and the poor do the fighting will be very much discounted if the measure in Congress requiring uni versal service is enacted, as fl should be.

MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod Ive>s think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod huer oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract'' is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod Asey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
~dorsed by good physicians everywhere.
