LET US HELP GEORGE DO IT

"Iet George do it," is Americas chief slogan. This is
shown in the thousands OF auto paftes traveng over
the country visiting the beaches and the mountain
resorts having good time and outing that puts tan
on their faces and vgor in their limbs It is all right and
nice way to spend a vacation. Al the same time 1t is
noted that most of the schools and colleges are pospong
their opening days so the children work in the
orchards and fields and help save the crops Have we
come to the point where while we dodge our share OF
work and sacrifice the country calls for we turn the
lob over to the school children? Not everyone can work
in the fields but there thousands of strong young
fellows doing nothing in this ne but who at the same
time have plenty of leisure for weeks OF play These be
times when conservation of labor is needed as we'll as OF
other things and he who would eat should be willing to
do something toward providing tae things he consumes
1t is patriotism to idle away weeks in the mountains
while crops waste and at the same time while lodging all
responsibility for what may happen demand that some
one else turn their backs up to the sun and grow Tor lis
the things eat. The young, strong man who Shuns
work in the fields because the kind Of work is dstastefu
to him. and such as he not accustomed TO, is just as
much of Stacker as the other young fellow who dodges
the draft and asks that George 90 it, To the German
threat to sink all merchant ships America made reply
that we will build ships faster thin you can sink them

will tax to the utmost the Of this country to
supply the allies with food and materials needed to carry
the great move started to conserve our food
supplies to assist in this work. and this too is being
treated in the old let George do it way Few of are
really making any attempt to conserve the food supply
as we should but are living have always DONE so
far as enhanced prices will let 1t is the same with
regard to work the farms The |. w. W. have threat
ened to call strike and call all laborers belonging to
their order FARMS from the fields While it is probable
there but few such there can be but answer that
is If you call farm labor from the fields will take
its place and will not only that crops taken care
Of but that you who are bent destroying them are
given no part ON them" We interested in keeping
Germanys food supply short because she is our enemy
and by this course soonest bring her to terms
and at the least to ourselves well her in do
ing. Is there any good reason why the same tactics
should not be pursued in dealing with that other enemy

punishment is to make him. far possible bear the

fitted to the crime The who destroys wastes q

1.-THE ENEMY IS AT THE GATE,
(CorvalIis Gazette. .Timesl

The Arbeiter Zeitung of Buffalo, N.
y, prints the following editorial note:
''The cry, 'The Enemy is at the
Gatel' remains, it will be generally mo-
ted, as yet without effect The people
will not let themselves be forced into
panic because they are perfectly well
aware that an enemy which remains
three thousand miles off cannot be
dangerous, especially when that nation,
which we call our enemy, eherishes no
hostile feelings towards Us ~'hatever.
The reason which is given for being hos
tile and why we should and must be
hostile, will not sink in, since it is
openly confessed that we are not max
ing war for ourselves but for others Z"
America is not yet awake to the SER
iousness of the war upon which it is
engaged And one reason that it is not
awake is that the government allows the
editors of German language newspapers
to dispense to their readers narcotics
like the editorial above.
"That nation, which we call our
enemy, cherishes no hostility towards
us whatever" 1t is noteworthy that
Germany, in her ultimatum to Belgium,
declared emphatically her friendliness
for Belgium. If Belgium had agreed to
let Germany pass thru her territory un-
molested, Germany would have cherish
ed no hostile feelings whatever toward
Belgium. All Germany wanted was to
have her own way. All that Germany
wanted in her relations with us was to
have her own way. In the hope that her
German-American allies will help her
still to have her own way, Germany is
carefully refraining from any hostile
acts toward the United States. If then,
German-Americans should succeed in so
deviding and crippling the American
people as to make our part in the war
Germany would probably
continue to cherish no hostile feelings
toward US.

For the first time since 1 came home

returned, and had had them down
to cards and chatting dish party. But
our friends now were all so wealthy;
they entertained so deliberately that 1
salved my conscience for negleeting
Helen by saving to myself she could
not afford to keep up. Yet knew very
well Walter could afford as much as
could Tom. For even if his salary was
not so large, they had no children and
Helen did all her own work except the
laundry, while Tom had five to feed,
had four to dress besides Norah s
wages. But Helen and Walter were
plain, practically uneducated people,
while all of Tom s friends were college
men, and society women. That I was
in the same class as Helen made no diff
ference. I was ambitious, and Tom s
friends were mine.

Whether or not the German govern
ment cherishes hostile feelings toward
the American people and its government
is beside the point. The fact is, that
the American people, for excellent rea-
sons, cherish decidedly hostile feelings
against the German government and all
it stands for, and intend to give effcet-
i've expression to these hostile feelings
whether the German language press
likes it or net.

WATER IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
May Be Cool, Clear and Sparkling, and
Free From Odor and Still Be
Full Of Disease Germs.

One cannot Judge the purity Of wa.
ter by Its looks. Things visible to the
naked eye are usually harmless. The
Invisible germs of disease are BY far
the more injurious to human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water
Is safe to use If it is cool, clear, spark
ling and free from color or odor. Such
Is not the case. Even the sparkle may
be due to decomposition products. The
babbling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing wa.
ter. Streams do not purify themselves
by flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do is respon-
sible for great deal of vacation typ
phoid fever.
The safest method Of destroying dis
ease germs in water is by actual boil.
Ing. Boiling the water for FIVE minutes
will kill the germs Of typhoid and al
lied diseases. Chlorine may also be
nsed to disinfect the water.
A stock solution is made by taking q
level teaspoonful Of full-strength chic
ride OF lime and rubbing It up to
thin paste free from Jumps In q teacup
with little water. This should then
be made up to q cupful and diluted
With three more cupfuls Of water and
then poured into a bottle and tightly
torked. Add tesspoonful Of this stock
solution to each two-gallon pail Of
water, thoroughly mixing It
and allowing It to stand for ten min
utes. This will give about one-half
part Of free chlorine to q million parts
II water. which will destroy all typhoid
" dysentery producing germs.
