A WONDERFUL SHOT.

To shoot and explode a torpedo as it
was dashiug thru the water toward its
intended victim is the latest feat in
craftsmanship reported in a letter re-
ceived from Ted Lane, a South Da-
kota boy, IN the United States navy.
Owing to the censorship he could not
give full details, but stated that on the
journey across the Atlantic the ship to
which he was assigned was fired on by
a German submarine, and that the gun
ners on the American boat made clean
hit on the torpedo as it sped thru the
water toward the American ship, eX-
ploding it before it reached it's mark.

GET INTO THE SCRAP, or
GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY

In nearly every community of the
United States there abides one or more
persons who skedaddled from some one
of the allied countries of Europe at the
outbreak of the war. Some have al
ready taken out first papers or say they
intend doing so, yet for all that they
lay claim to alienship and put them
selves in the exemption class.
Such fellows are the worst kind Of
slackers; they are genuine towards
What a ridiculous, shameful, heartless
scheme that they be permitted TO en-
JOY the high labor wages prevailing here
and bask in the blessings and comforts
of America, safe from the smoke, the
gases and roar and danger Of cannon,
while the loyal sons of this country
and those of the countries from which
these slackers hail, are offering up
their lives to make it possible for all to
realize and enjoy permanently just
what this class of towards are laying
for" at this vital hour.
But rays Of hope that the scheme
will be nippod in the bud are looming in
the horison. Oui government officials

Disbetic Troubles.

The dyspeptic has one great advan-
tage over the dIabetic The stomach
Immediately manifeSts It's dlspleasure
nj i'll treatment--as most dyspeptics
know. 1t sets up pains that call a tenn
porary halt. But the overworked pan
creas suffers in silence. II does not in
simultaneously warn its possessor to
stop eating the things that signify de-
struction. Only in the temperance Of
sugar and acid, and then Of coma, does
1t voice its protest. Translated into
practical terms, this means that the
dlabetic must exercise even greater
force Of character than the dyspeptic.

IMAGINE a loyal loving American
mother cooking, making comfortable
beds, darning stockings and sewing on
buttons for a Sinking Stacker or alien
whom it became necessary to employ to
do work her son would have done had
he not been absent fighting for his
country. Such a condition is possible if
the greatest alertness on the part of
the federal officials is not increasingly
exercised.
