WE NEVER THOUGHT 1T
WOULD COME TO THIS

Recently patented garters for men
include pockets for carrying money.
Thus anothe. institution hitherto
sacred to women has been taken over
by mere mantle Isle bank
Soon there may be private rooms
in banks for men customers, and
highway robbers may change their
formal order Hold up your hands"
to stand on your head, and be quick
about it."
Also the new style carriers, if they
become popular, will give added
meaning to the old saying about
pulling a mans leg"
There are advantages about the
new style, however. Just picture the
henpecksd husband going to bed with
his garter snapped around his neck
and mystifed wiley searching the
wardrobe in vain for her pin money.
And hubby likely can get away with
it, while if he tied his trousers around
his neck to conceal his money he
would arouse her suspicion

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

From the Commercial-Appeal.
The man who lives in this world
only to satisfy himself confers a great
benefit on his fellow-man when he
dies. He rids the world Of a pest.
We are living in an age when the
brotherhood of man can be appreciat-
ed. 1t is the age when the skies are
dark, and when the gloom of the at
mosphere is little alarming.
Mems hearts must not be set
against one another Men must stand
together. We must also remember
that united we stand, and that divided
we fall. Union does everything when
it is perfect 1t satisfies desires, sim
plihes needs and becomes a consist
ent standby to the nation in trouble.
But this is the day of the brother
hood of man, when we must stand
together and help each other in day
OF crisis.
We must take this to heart and re-
alize the fact that there is but one
real virtue, and that is the virtue of
eternal self-sacrihce.
We are on the threshold of an un-
known expedition We do not know
just what we will have to do, or what
will be demanded of us In the
school of Pythagoras it was point of
discipline among probationers if there
were any who grew weary Of study
ing to be useful and returned to idle
life they were to regard them as dead
and upon their departing to perform
their obsequies and raise the tombs
with inscriptions, to warn others Of
like mortality and quicken them tc
refine their soul above that wretchet
state.

Tonoline Is Beauty Aid
Announces Specialist
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to
Women

AS health is first aid to beauty this
story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty
specialist, of Boston, Mass, is OF
unusual interest.
Il can recommend no better health
giver than tonoline," said Mildred
Louise.
Il was for many months victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness
| had suffered terribly from pains that
followed eating. Headaches also
would add to my worries. Poor diges-
ton finally brought on nervousness.
Relief came, however, when / took
the advice of several women who said
Take tonoline.'
Not long after I started the tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me Of the Improvement in my
condition. And because health is the
quickest way to beauty, the improv-
ment was particularly noticeable in
my face.
What tonoline really did for me I
cannot say. I am SO grateful that I
am very willing to recommend tono-
line publicly"
Tonoline is purely vegetable pre-
paration which goes to the seat of
common maladies-stomach and kid
ney trouble, catarrhal affections of
the mucous membranes, liver ailments
ard impurities of the blood-and
quickly restores proper action. Ton
oline IS being explained daily to many
people at the National Drug Co.
Notice:-As tonoline IS a wonder
full flesh builder it should not be taxi
en- by any one not wishing to increase
his weight ten pounds or more. AL
though many reports are received
from those who have been benefited
by tonoline in severe cases Of stomach
trouble and nervous dyspepsia. chron-
ic constipation, etc.

children. The killing has created much
excitement and indignation.
The Williams family is we'll known

bootleggers are getting heavy play
from the authorities these days. Ar
rests continue in all sections OF the
state, and many mystery men," who
had been patrolling the streets OF
Des Moines, have moved on.
The bootleggers are especially
careful not to sell to soldiers. Mill
tary police have been posted down
town to watch for bootleggers.
The bootleggers in the Fairfield re-
gion were given hard jolt last week
when Judge Anderson ordered two
men held until they were willing to
tell where they purchased the liquor
they had consumed. The men were
taken before the grand jury in an ef-
fort to stamp out Bookkeeping in that
district They will be released any
time they are ready to reveal the
bootlegger's name.

schools found attentive audience
among the kindergarten teachers. Her
expert advice was valuable.
Dinner at noon was a pleasant az

er in this camp also. Students are
prohibited from "dolling up" and are
under orders to wear nothing but what

ground was hard and our backs were

Camp rumors are again with us and
they seem to circulate more rapidly
than last time. 1t was rumored than
IN artillery captain told his head cook
that the camp would not last but two
months. This gossip circulated widely
and was the chief topic of conyersa-
ton for two weeks but 1t has finally
died out. There was another rumor
out to the effect that all men from the
first camp in attendance at the first
camp were TO be commissioned before
the camps had cleared and were to
be sent to France as Junior officers
for instruction purposes. This too had
died out and at present there is no
unofficial dope"
The plan of the war department
seems to be one favoring the continu-
ance of these training camps as long
as the war continues. However l do
not believe that civilians will have an
opportunity to gain admittance to
them. They will be for the purpose of
creating officers from the ranks OF
the New Army.

BIG REDUCTION IN TRAINS
Lessenine the Passenger Service Has
Made Much Equipment Available
For Freight Business.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Reports receiv-
ed by r. H. Aaishton, Chairman of
the Central Department Committee
of the Railroads War Board, show
that since the beginning of the war
the reduction in passenger train ser
vice in the fifteen states in the Cen
tral Department amounts to 9,201,327
train miles per year
The sole object in cutting down the
passenger service wherever possible
without infiicting hardship on the
public was to conserve man power,
fuel and locomotives for more import
ant transportation service curing the
war
The saving effected thus far by the
passenger service reductions in Cen
trail Department territory amounts
per annum to 1850 men, 9S9, 1893 tons
of coal, 203,097 barrels of oil and 800
locomotives.
Not single reduction in passenger
tram service was MADE without care
full consideration of the effect on the
travelling public. and the constant eff
fort was to cause the least inconveni-
ence possible in order to secure the
results considered most necessary in
the nations crisis. In most cases
where an entire train was annulled
additional coaches were added to 9TH
er trains. In some cases mixed
trains were found able TO render the
service which had been given by a
regular passenger train. In other
cases more stopping places were add.
ed to the schedules of regular passen.
ger trains.
So far 1t has been found inadvis.
able TO discontinue any of the social
ed transcontinental trains west OF

field.
AS suggested by the committee:
"You have heard the story of Iowa's
progress in agriculture, in manufac.
turing, in road building and in educa.
tion, but a Greater Iowa, in the big
broad sense of the term.does not mean
merely an increased production from
our soil or more and buster factories;
it does not mean merely good roads
and more and better schools; truly
Greater Iowa means homogeneous
combination of all of these thangs.
ITO achieve Greater Iowa we
must first acquaint ourselves with
} )wa as it is today,-with its history
and it's opportunities. We must
KNOW IOWA, and with this knowl.
edge will come more intense state
pride and deeper interest in what
Iowa is doing and can do. ....,.
I'VE, in these United States have
received from our forefathers the
nf
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people Our nation,
with her allies is today waging war
against the autocratic form of gov
eminent and for the establishment of
q worldwide democracy. But q
democratic form of government is ef-
ficient only in so far as the individual
citizen is interested in the collective
welfare. the young men and the
young women of today should realize
it as their duty to take active part in
public affairs; the business of their
town, their county and their state is
their business. We should elect
men to public office who are able and
progressive; we should defeat can
di3ates who have nothing else to rec:
ommend them but their particular
brand of party politics.
ITO achieve a Greater Iowa we
must do away with that age-old pre-
judice between urban and rural dis
tricts The population of Iowa is
equally divided between those who
live on the farms and those who live
in the cities and towns. These two
great classes of our citizenship must
develop a mutual confidence and CO.
operation or our hopes for a Greater
Iowa never will be fully realized"
