Here's One of the Ways
Malicious Lies were Circulated
about CAMEL Cigarettes
In an effort to injure the wonderful sale .
of CAMEL cigarettes many unprlnclpled /
schemes have been resOrted to- The tOl- ):
lowing is one of many ways such lies have !:
been put into circulation :.
Anindividual liar would approach group /:
of men, produce a newspaper, published In i
distant city, and apparently become inter- !
ested in reading. Suddenly he would ex- !
claim, "What do you think of this?" He !.
would then pretend to read an article about !,
CAMEL cigarettes. In reality, the paper !.
contained no such statement. The lndl- ).
vidual would at once walk away, carrying !:
the paper with him. A newspaper from /:
distant city was always used in an effort to !.
cover the tracks of the liar. 1
Would anyone voluntarily do this kind .
of unprincipled work? They must have.
been paid by someone to do it, and all OF.
them should be exposed. An honest man.
will not knowingly work under the direc-*
ton of crooked superior, nor will an:
honest superior knowingly tolerate a.
crooked employee. However, some sales.
men have told the trade that they had in;
their possession newspaper containing a
damaging article about CAMEL cigarettes
This was malicious falsehood, as they had:
no such newspaper, and when asked to.
produce it, they were unable to do SO. !
CAMEL cigarettes are pure and delightful:
and the most popular cigarettes ever sold at
any price. Cigarette smokers will not for :
any length of time permit malicious false
hoods to prejudice them against CAMELS..

SHORT RATIONs FOR NEUTRALS.
Must Send Their Own Ships and Will
Be Given Only What the Country
Does Not Need for Itself and the
Allies.

Neutrals hereafter will be on shorter
rations than they have been for recent
months.
The exports council, designated by
President Wilson, will apportion sup
plies for them, subject to the presi-
dents approval.
1t will determine what the neutral
needs are, scientifically as based on
import figures covering period Of
years.
It will do it's utmost to see that
there is no surplus which could leak
into Germany.
These things were made perfectly
clear Tuesday by one of the members
of the new council.
The neutrals also will be told flatly
that if they want food they can send
their own ships after it.
Of the new scheme of things, Presi-
dent Wilson says: The whole object
will be TO direct exports in such a
way that they will go first and by pre-
ference where they are most needed
and most Immediately needed, anC
temporarily to withhold them, if nee
essary, where they can be spared.
Our primary duty in the matter O.
foodstuffs and like necessaries is L
see to it that the peoples associated
with us in the war get as generous
proportion as possible of our surplus
but it will also be our wish and pur
pose to supply the nations whose peo
pies depend upon us for such supple
, as nearly in proportion to their nee'
as the amount to be divided permits.
The free play of trade will be lin
telligently and Systematically direct

to be congratulated upon having SC

Time.

Bethany Deaconess Hospital is clos

chief among which are changes in the
ventilating system and in the sanitary
connections. Rev. Neuschwauder and
L. Dirks, of Aberdeen, left Wednesday
after looking the hospital over thor
oughly and completing arrangements
for the repairs. The equipment OF
the hospital is modern and much bet
ter than anyone would expect to lind
i'm a small town. and is considered
ample by local surgeons, but 1t is not
good enough TO satisfy the directors
and they plan to install additional
equipment that will make it as good
as can be found anywhere We in
tend to have a better hospital than
people expect" Mr. Dirks said, when
referring TO the contemplated increase
of equipment.
The directors have not selected a
successor TO Sister Marie Wedel, but
state that no efforts will be spared tC
procure sisters of unquestioned ability
and reputation, thus making the ser
vice equal TO any that can be had any
where. Due notice will be given wheI
the hospital is again ready to receive
