Cutters with Pull

From Washington comes the information
that young shirkers with political pull are trying
to enter the government service in nenial ca
pacities to escape CONSUMPTION and service abroad
What detestable spectacle!
Gentry of this class are reproach to repub-
lie in which citizens boast of their freedom They
are more servile than serfs, more to be despised
than men who tamely submit to the yoke OF OPP
preston without rising in rebellion.
If war really tests the backbone OF nation,
assuredly these young scalawags are splneless.
Imagine what pretty mess they would make
of our country if their number was legion instead
of few in comparison with the brave young fell
lows who willingly registered for military SER
vice. It is comforting to know that Uncle Sam
will not permit them to escape from their duty.

DRINK HOT WAITER
If YOU DESIRE A
ROSY cOMPLE XlON
Says we cant help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to- enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal
when it burns. leaves behind a GER
tain amount Of incombustible material
in the form Of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the all
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material, which II not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom In you cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is harmless means Of wash
ing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract, before putting more food into
the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stom-
ach or constipation should begin this
phosphated hot water drinking and
are assured Of very pronounced re-
Sults in one Or two weeks
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but it sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleapses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm.
portant that outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do. not absorb i'm
purities into the blood. while the
bowel pores do.

Reckless Autoists

One of our citizens had narrow escape from
death early this week when a car, driven by a
reckless young man, sideswiped him as he was
leaving traction car.
Auto drivers have specific instructions to halt
their machines when passengers are entering or
leaving street and interurban cars, but the rule
might just as well not be on the books.
Motorists of Richmond will not cease their
reckless driving and ruthless disregard for the
rights of pedestrians until some injured persons
possessing enough money to make an interest
ing law suit asks for damages in the circuit court
If the auto drivers themselves were the ones
who received the injuries or were killed in the ac-
cidents for which they were responsible, the pub
lie would not care how fast and reckless they
drove. Pedestrians would say, well done" ev-
cry time an auto owner was rushed to a hospital,
for Justice at least would have been visited on
the guilty person.
AS it is, the unfortunate pedestrian is the
person who pays the penalty in bruises and
broken bones. He has little recourse. The
amount of damages he could collect in the courts
would be so trivial that it would not pay for
the costs of bringing the suit.
Our police department would earn the ever
lasting gratitude Of the public if its members
would make a rigorous crusade against traffic
violations A human life is too precious to be
sacrificed because some brainless fool exceeds
the speed limit and violates the dictates Of COM
mon sense.

CHICAGO, June 13.--Interest mani
tested at the country cross roads post
office in the daily arrival Of the mail
is nothing to the expectancy displayed
on the big battle ships Of the Ameri-
can navy when the jackies are mus
tered on deck for the distribution OF
letters.
Many Of the youthful sailors are
away from home for the first time and
even their pride in being part OF
Uncle Sans first line, and regular
fighting men," cannot keep them from
feeling just bit home sick when they
see their comrades receiving letters
while their names are not called.
Girls Write to EN-.
To remedy this condition and to-
make every sailor boy know that
ashore, somewhere in the land he Is
defending. are those who think OF him.
an organization has been formed the
principal duty of it's members being
to write frequent letters to the sailors
of the battle fleet Its name is The
Loyal Girls of America Society" and
the secretary of its Mother Chapter
has names of sailor boys and announc-
ed that she will be glad to send them to
any Loyal Girl" who will write to her.
The Loyal Girls of America Society
is pledged to write to soldiers and
sailors OF the United States. The
society was organized last month. an
indirect outgrowth of the request of
little Evelyn Young, who asked Cap
tain Moffett. commandant Of the Great
Lakes Naval Training station, for the
name of a sailor recruit to whom she
coluld write as if he were her big
brother and had gone to sea. Captain
Moffett encouraged the little girl and
suggested that an Evelyn SisterhOod'
be formed to encourage the lonesome
recruits.
Mother Chapter Formed.
The Evelyn idea was taken up and
a Mother Chapter OF The Loyal Girls
of America Society was organized May
10 with headquarters at 6616 Kimbard
avenue, Chicago. Miss Gertrude Ell
more is secretary and Mrs. Burton
Hanson, president.

Help The RedCross

The full worth of the Red Cross Society
will not be appreciated, we fear, until the
first reports are received here of the main1-
ing and wounding of our boys on
the European battle fields.
If you read of sanguinary
engagement in which the regi-
nent to which your son is as
signed has taken part, you will wonder
whether he is alive, dead or wounded, and
you will hope that Red Cross unit found
him in case he is wounded.
The Red Cross hopes to help every woun-
ded or disabled American soldier. But the
Red Cross will not be able to offer more help
than It has money to buy supplies.
That proposition cannot be denied.
Localize the emergency. If your boy is
shot or wounded, your parental heart will
tmpel you to spend every cent you have to
give him relief. In the very nature of the
case, you cannot rush to his side. The Red
Cross is willing to take your place, to offer
quicker and better'relief than you can do.
So help the Red Cross now.
Do not wait until battles have been fought
and the news tricl1les home that our boys
the Red Cross did not have the equipment
and supplies to help them. That emergency
