AMERICAN WOMEN NO SLACKERS

We can well be proud Of our Ameri.
can girls and women. In France and
England women are taking up the work
Of men rcsolutely, and have shown their
ability to do almost all kinds of work
When it becomes necessary women will
show their worth in countless shops,
stores, factories and offices. No one
hears them complain Of their hard work.
These are the days when American men
have cause TO respect, love and honor
their mothers, wives and sisters. If she
is borne down by the weakness and suf-
ferings of womankind, she should be
helped by herbal tonic made with
glycerin which has had such uniform
success during the past half century.
She should be reU, instead of sick and
suffering; healthy aud rigorous, instead
of vorn-out and weak bright eyes, clear
skin, rosy cheeks-yOu wouldn't think
it was the same woman, and it's all due

Gliding part in the war, according to
Herbert G. Hoover, who has announced
that if the pending legislation on the
subject is enacted, one of his first tasks
as food administrator, will be to enlist
the housewives OF the country into the
service of the food administration.
The housewives who join will be en-
titled to a badge as an actual member
of the food administration and will be
pledged to carry out the advice and in
structions of the administration as far
as her circumstances will permit.
The announcement reads in part as
follows:
1T is proposed to divide this vast
army into states and direct its actiyi-
ties through the state organization and
state officials. Advice and instruction
Of national character will be added to
those of the state and local organiza-
tons.
instructions will thus be handed
down to each individual member from
time to time. 1t is proposed that such
advice and instruction should be direct
and absolutely specific and to be en-
braced in the following general lines,
all based on the fact that we can eat
wisely and without waste:
Elimination of waste: The gospel
of the clean plate, of individual service
Of the same size as individual appetite |
must become universal.
"Substitutions: Local products must
be used instead of those from further
afield to save transportation and to en-
courage local production.

What a Government Bond is

The Government of the United States
has two methods of raising money
One is by taxation. The other is by the
sale of bonds, which is a method of Dor
rowing money.
The Government bond is the printed
promise of the Government to pay back
the borrowed sum of money at a GER
tain time, and to pay interest on it at
regular intervals until it is repaid.
The Government borrows money in
this way only after it has been given
the right to do so by act of Congress
approved by the President, and the
terms of the loan are set out in the act.
Back of the promise of the Govern
ment stands the honor of the Govern
ment and all its taxing resources. Real
ly the whole wealth of the Nation stands
behind this solemn promise of the Gov
eminent to pay.
This makes United States Govern
ment bond the safest investment in the
world. If the bond of the United States
Government is not safe, no property in
the United States is safe. If the United
States can not pay its bonds, it is hardly
probable that it will be able to protect
Vic NAIAAC1lo IL CAlCI4 oCLlCI 1lSIlIS'
The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are
attractive investments Not
only have they this absolute safety
Of all United States bonds
but they are tax free not only from all
existing taxes but from any war tax
that may subsequently be levied. No
State, city, nor county may tax them.
The inheritance tax of the United |
States and of some States may effect
them, or, rather, affect their transfer
after death of the owner by will or by
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that if the Gov
eminent issues bonds later on during
his war at higher rate of interest the
holders of Liberty Loan Bonds will be
allowed to exchange at par their bonds
or bonds bearing the higher rate ofin-
crest.

Quite a bit of interest is cen.
tered around a little incident that
occurred recently, the outcome OF
which will be awaited not only by
he superstitions but by many who
have seen Mother Shipton's, the
great French Seress. and many

According to the papers, a lit

never uttered one sound from
birth thrucut the ten or twelve
years Of his life, suddenly startled
a crowd by raising up in and
screaming out very distinctly that
he was given the power Of speech
to announce that or a certain day
in May bis life would come TO an
end and on that same date in Sep

would also come to an end and
universal peace would come to

led his own death, the little boys

prayed that the rest OF the pre-
