AS WE ARE SEEN
BY OUR ENEMIES

When we hear of internal troubles
in Germany does Il please us or do
we weep? Every indication of dis
content over there rejoices our hearts,
not that we hate the German people,
for we do not, but we feel that discon-
tent In that country indicates a failure
OF the German spirit and we know that
the endurance of the war depends
largely upon the feeling at home. A
discontented people will not fight with
that spirit necessary to overcome
Well, then how do you suppose the
Teutons regard the numerous strikes
and threatened strikes in this country,
Cnquestionably they look upon them as
protest against war and they will
tend to inspirit our enemies Work.
men In this country are as loyal as
any other class. This is shown in 100
ways. But there is no doubt that de-
signing enemies of our cause are at
work tnstisating labor troubles and
there Is no doubt that news of these
strikes Is taken quickly to Germany,
that such stories are greatly exagger-
ated and that the Germans are made
to believe that we are scarcely strong
er today than fs Russia. Every loyal
citizen ought to do all in his power TO
prevent Industrial troubles of any
kind at this ure.-Leavenworth

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline. but do not compel"
Tuesday, August Z, 1917.


This should be a really lucky day,
for Venus, Mercury and the Sun are
all in a strongly benefic aspect. Ju-
piter alone is adverse.
Under this planetary government
whatever has to do with the higher
or spiritual forces should benefit
greatly.
1t is a sway for all true lovers, and
weddings contracted under today's
stars should be very fortunate.
Actresses should make the most of
this rule. Fame for one who will per-
form herois deeds is foretold.
Writers have a lucky star to lead
them while this configuration prevails.
Books that are real literature are
predicted.
Mercury. the planet which rules the
memory. is extremely powerful in
this position of the stars.
There is a sign that appears to
promise much to persons who have
vision in these last days OF a closing
era and the advent of seers or proph-
cts again is foretold.
This is a most promising rule for
the theater and a woman is to win
success as a producer of great plays.
astrologers foretell.
AS has been often emphasized by
those who read the stars, this is a
period of extreme and women should
be especially careful to keep the bal
ance between motion and reason.
Under this government of the stars
there may be great increase in SEN
timentality which affects young and
old and leads to many vagaries in the
way of romance. Women may be very
foolish.

New Hair Remover
Gets Roots and All

Here's the greatest thing for hair
disfigured womankind that has hap
pened in hundred years! A way to
actually remove the roots of su-
perfuous hair--easily. istantly. and
harmlessly! A method that does
away forever with shaving, cleo
trolysis, and the application Of prep
arations which merely take OF the
surface hair.
The new phelactine process is so
certain to remove the hair entire,
roots and all, that druggists are au-
thorized to refund the price in any
case of dissatisfaction. There's no
odor or mussiness about phelactine,
and 1t is entirely non-poisonous-a
child could safely eat 1t. Get a stick

RED CROSS SECRETARY
CORRECTS MEASUREMENTS
All Real Patriots Asked To Deny Alb
surd Stories Now In Circu-

Tho secretary of the Red Cross
chanter desires to correct a number
Of misunderstanding concerning Red
Cross memberships. 1t has repeated
IN come to his attention that many
people believe the service flag posters
are for new members only-ln other
words. that members who joined be-
fore the Christmas drive began are
not entitled TO display Red Cross nag
masters i'm their windows. All read
ers CT the Evening Capital are earn-
estly requested to deny the truth OF
this absurd story. If any distinction
were to be made. it is only common
sense 70 realize that the longer a per-
son has been member of the Red
Cross. the better. and that all old
members. especially. have the priyt-
Iege of displaying. if not the duty OF
displaying. the posters in their WIN
dows. 1t has also been rumored
through some parts of the county that
only women are supposed to join.
This is. of course, ridiculous; men,
woneL. and children are asked to
;oin by President Wilson himself II
has also been rumored that member
ship means pledge to work for the
Red Cross. This is positively not true
no pledge whatever Is called Tor
when YOU Join the Red Cross; your
dollar helps take care Of our soldiers
and sailors. and their needy depend
ents at home. There are various other
rumors about. which seem too queer
even to mention. Red Cross members
should take pains to correct THESE
false impressions. such as the idea
that people can join only at head
ouarters-when there is booth at
the post office. one in each of the
hanks. and one at Carvel Hall, and
also when scores of Red Cross work
ers are getting memberships all over
the city. and from as many as twenty
five auxiliary centres throughout the
county.
All information concerning the RED
Cross may be had for the asking by
calling up Christmas Campaign He'd
quarters. Telephone sos.
AS returns are not completely re-
corded, and will not be until all work
ers follow Instructions by turning in
lists every twenty-four hours, il will
be impossible to publish the names in
the Capital until later Campaign
workers, who have volunteered to take
charge of the various membership en-
rollment booths are requested to make
their returns as frequently as possi-
Bile, if only by telephoning the num-
Der of members recorded during he
day to headquarters Campaign booth
supplies should be called for at head
quarters, 20-22 Church Circle, before
the workers go on duty, and surplus
supplies returned to headquarters, If
convenient, after the days work is
completed.
