Suffer From Catarrh

don't make the fatal mistake of re-
garding it as a trifling matter. Au-
thorities agree that Catarrh is an in
fection of the blood. Consequently,
sprays, salves and lotions can af-
ford only temporary relief, because
they do not reach the source of the
disease,-the blood. When you depend
on these temporary remedies alone
your case is likely to grow steadily
worse until it becomes chronic and
possibly affects the lungs.

For a Day of Prayer

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: most earnestly hope that Mr.. Tracy's
suggestion Of a day Of prayer may be carried
out. We are convinced of the rightness Of
our cause, that we are lighting to establish
justice and righteousness, and to secure a
lasting peace, but except the Lord keep the
city, the Waterman wateheth but in vain"
The Bible abounds in thrilling accounts of
Gods help in national trouble in answer to
prayer. Also in Psalm evil, Then they cried
unto the Lord in their trouble, and he de-
livered them out of their distresses" These
lines keep recurring like refrain, emphasiz-
ing the human need Of help and the Divine
power and willingness to meet il.
Do we consider that we have outgrown
prayer or dependence on a higher power =?
Let us as n nation, or, better, as a group of
nations earnestly implore the Divine guild

There would be greater rejoicing the
country over regarding the announce
ment of the hotelkeepers' food conserva-
ton committee as to meatless days, the
curtailment of bread and butter and kim
bred Economies" if it were accompanied
by any indication of a curtailment OF
prices. Just at present the situation
seems to be that restaurants and hotels
are conserving food at the expense of their
customers, and their proprietors are be-
coming more patriotic the more profits
they make.
Patriotism is not lacking, nor is there
desire to escape a certain amount of dis
comfort incident to interference with per-
sonal habits in ordinary citizens here
abouts. Even those who dislike fish will
be able to endure the meatless days; but
there is manifest grievance in the fact
that fish now appears on many bills OF
fare at an advance of from 10 to 20 or 30
per cent over its price few months ago.
Now, if ever fresh vegetables, fruits and
salads should be cheapest, because they are
most plentiful; yet the prices exacted for
them, not in places alone where the Gus
toner pays for the name, but in ordinary
restaurants where business men eat
luncheon or dinner, are quite appalling.
The public is not unaware that the
price of foodstufs in general has risen IN
recent years, nor that eating places feel
this rise as we'll as other purchasers. In
creases in the total of restaurant checks for
the last two or three years have been met
by the customer with fixed income with
resignation, if not with satisfaction. But
when the rises continue and the eating
places begin to practise war economy and
food conservation at his expense, he can
not join in any paan of praise for the
method of their cooperation with Mr..
Hoover
There is no particular likelihood of gov
eminent regulation of restaurant prices as
there may be Of steel prices; so the only
recourse for those who can't pay will be to
stay away or seek some cheaper refectory
If one can be found. In the mean time
the Amalgamated Order of Restaurant
Customers ought to club together to buy
medal for the management of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad, which established reduced
size portions or "war orders" in its dining
cars, at reduced prices, and a second medal
for any restaurant owner who can be
found willing to follow that example

only one inevitable fruit of long INDUCED
national habit Of shoddy thinking.
A new democracy is coming out OF this
crisis, very different democracy, indeed,
from that which was put on the defensive
in 1914. Democracy is being forced by the
struggle for its own survival to learn new
and more courageous mental habits. There
is to-day general attitude of expectancy
looking to great changes and more ade-
quate adjustments in the social and po-
litical structure Of all the democratic ma
tons. But such transformations are not
going to rain down upon US from the skies.
They must be thought out and their worth
recognized by more alert popular intelli-
gence. Before everything else the new de-
mocracy will emphasize the value of in
telligence.

Why We Are at War
Germany Attacked Us Until We Had
to Fight

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: It seems to me that there is great
confusion of ideas respecting the reasons
why we are at war with Germany
Many point 70 the violation of Belgium
and the barbarites inflicted on her women
and children and those of Northern France
az sufficient reason for our taking part in
this great war.
Others point to the wanton and unmilitary
obstruction of unarmed towns, with their ca
.bedrals. private dwellings and fruit trees.
The papers are full Of the statement that we
entered the war to fight with democracy
against autocrscy.
II seems to me that all these things, while
they Justly stir our feelings, only serve 70
confuse the real issue. These are not the
reasons why we are at war with Germany.
Why, then, are we at war with Germany
In fact. we are not at war with Germany
Germany is at war with US. Germany al
tackled US, and we are simply defending our
selves. When we were at peace with Ter
many and greatly desired to be at peace with
the whole world Germany began sinking our
ships and numbering our citizens, and THIS
great, naughty, cruel nation refused to apollo
gize and promise not to do so any more. And
we would be a craven nation, indeed, If we
would not fight to defend our property and
our lives.
1t is time, then, that we heard the last OF
the cry that we are not called on to night
the battles of England and France. We are
not fighting the battles of Eng and
France. We are fighting our own battles IN
defence of our lives and property

Fish Too Dear
Or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: &C. p, f." in to-day's Tribune voices
what has been in my mind for some time re-
garding Mr.. Hoover's advice to eat fish. As
our family desires to obey injunctions and
help the government, | went to nearby fish
market TO buy some but the result was dis
couraging. Sea bass was zoe, porgies 15c
weaktsh 15c pound | bought three weak
fish az 6Oc and when the insidcs were out
and the heads off | found that for food value
they were in no wise equal to pork tender
loins at 3jc.
Sometimes when one doesn't want fish
there are cards out with lower prices, but
when you go to buy there always seems TO
be a scarcity.
II Mr.. Hoover will tell US where we can
buy fish at reasonable prices We certainly
will do our share in eating them.
We buy bonds and save bread and encour-
age patriotism in every way, but we seem 70
be left TO the tender mercies of the protiteers

Herbert Kelcey's Trousers Crease
From The Springfield Republican,

From The Springfield Republican,
II is claimed that the late Herbert Kelley,
an English-born actor who became widely
known in this country, started the fashion Of
creased trousers. One does not have TO be
old to remember when trousers were worn un-
creased, being pressed only to remove bag
ging at the knees, the shape of the legs being
left round In fact, creased trousers were
taboo, because the ready made article, as it
came from a pile on the counters of the stores,
was always creased and the particular GUS
toner at once ordered the removal of that
blemish, as it was then considered. The
marked difference between store pants" and
trousers made by tailor lay in the creasing
of the garment. It may be that Mr. Kelley
was responsible that fashion turned to the
store clothes method, and thereby forever re.
moved a distinction that had long obtained,
but proof Of the fact is not overwhelming.
The claim is that Mr.. Kelley appeared on the
stage of the Metropolitan LyceGm Theatre
with his trousers creased and the idea i'm
mediately commended itself TO New York
clubmcn, so that its vogue spread abroad, and
soon the despised crease became the mark Of
a well dressed man.
