A superlative blood-purifying med

No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives working together.
They reach the impure. impover.

the worn, run down, overworked, ex-

strength to the whole body, produce
sound, natural sleep, and complete
restoration to good health--the great

that 50 invested in these two med'-

PLANT EN-
AND EAT 'EM
This is Trick Which Perry q. Holden,
Former Anes Expert, Is Tell
ing People
About.

You can eat your potatoes and then
plant them. 1t is merely a matte, CT
knowing how, for there are tricks In
all trades Prof. Perry G. Holden, agri.
cultural expert told how yesterday.
1T is very simple and practical
thing to plant the potatoes you serve
upon your table, he remarked. ut
is thing that should be done in this
time of high priced potatoes. Every
one should know that there Id "seed
end of a potato 1t takes no skill to
find 1T, for that is the end from which
OF the sprouts come.
Cut that end of. plant It, and cook
the rest. But It can be carried even
further than this. All of the eyes of
q potato can be cut out, with enough
OF the meat of the potato to give it
growth, and the remaining eaten.
This system probably will not give as
strong plants as the old system OF
planting potato cut into three or four
pieces. but It will pay this year.
Save the seed ends. save the eyes
of all potatoes eaten during planting
season, and the nation will have a
mighty supply of seed that otherwise
would be wasted"

NEW YORK, April 20.-"That the
historical cry for economy is poor
patriotism" is the contention of New
York business men, who declare the
right sort Of economy and conserva-
ton Is to be encouraged, but that
there is q danger OF hampering the
work OF the entire nation and throw.
ing thousands Of men out Of work.
They declare the American peo
pie are being tempted, by publicity
seekers, into misguided policy OF
economy. They agree that extrav
agance should be eliminated, but d..
clare that needless economy would
cause a period Of financial depreE.
sion.
According to Samuel Floerscheimer
of Samuel F1oerschetmer & Bros, the
economy crusade carried on by the
society leaders in the name of pat
iotis1n is destructive rather than con-
structiye to the country's welfare. He
says it has caused buyers to feel
ttmid because they are unable to
know how far-reaching will be the
effect of the campaign for retrench-
meut among women who have been
heavy buyers previously.
Canada's Experience Cited.
"Canada's experience proves that
the agitation for needless economy is
wholly unwarranted," he said. Can
ada gave freely of her men and her
resources, but Canada was never so
prosperous as now and business never
so good.
And we in America are even more
fortunately situated than Canada,
Money is free in circulation and the
huge expenditures by the government
will put more money into circulation.
None OF this money will leave our
own country. Even the money ad-
vanced to the allies will stay right

Hysterical Cry for Economy Is Poor Patriotism,
Declare Business Men Of New York

here, to be used in the purchase OF
supplies by the allies.
ssWe can render Our greatest serv-
ice to the government by keeping sour
industries fully employed. Any move
ment or Influence which tends TO
lessen business activity is a menace
to the country's best interests. There
is no question that the women will be
able to do their share without giving
up the clothes which they need. II
they are thinking of deprfving them
selves, they are influenced by a mis-.
guided patriotism
J. ]. Goldman of the Goldman Cos
tune company, and president of the
Associated Dress Manufacturers OF
New York, declared he believed true
patriotism meant in keeping our IN
dustries busy at this crucial time.
President Wilson's advice to the
nation is good advice" he said, "and
1t must be followed in reason and not
with hysteria There is no reason
why the women of America should be
penny wise and pound foolish in their
economy. / recognize that the lead
ers of fashion are actuated by mo-
tives of purest patriotism in their
suggestion that women retrench In
their expenditures of clothing. Blu.
let them weigh the matter carefully.
'Is it true patriotism to take away
the means Of livelihood from great
body of workers? Is 1t helping the
government If the employers in a
great industry find their ability to
contribute to the governments needs
lessened? The answer to both ques-
tons Is manifestly, No"
Another manufacturer said:
Propaganda Is Harmful.
'Hysterical economy, which Is like
ly to be fostered at the inception of
our entrance to the war, is going to
do untold harm to the country if 1t is
allowed to gain momentum Most
people will be afraid to combat the
arguments OF these so-called advo-
Gates of economy, on the ground that
they will be accused of unpatriotic
methods, but it should be brought
home to these people that the hoard
ing OF money Is the worst disaster
which can happen to a nation. OF
course, 1 do not mean that people
should continue to spend money ex-

There are thousands of rich people
in this country who, like the rest OF
us, will bear our share of the wars

to stop buying many of the necessary
things to which we have accustomed
ourselves, and which, with our pros
porous conditions, we are able to buy,
what is going to become of the in
dustries which exist on these pur-
chases, and the hundreds of thousands
of persons these industries provide

Don't Hide Them With Veil; Re

Prescription

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and
giving clear, beautiful complexion
that it is sold by any druggist under
guarantee to refund the money if it
fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
Improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money-back
guarantee.

DYNAMIC AND STATIC.

The comparison of life's epochs to
the forms of electricity is striking
analogy, and a good one. Scientists
divide electricity into two closes
one DYNAMIC, or electricity in mo-
ton; and the other STATIC, or cleo
tricity at rest
So it is in life Youths activities
are directly DYNAMIC in that crea-
alton and change is the big and the
great endeavor Youth cares not half
SO much for the fulfillment as it does
for creation. Youth builds ceasely,
pouring forth it's energy abundantly,
but without rocking beyond the fact
that the desire for creation drives it on
and on
Then comes the great change Age,
brings to certain extent measure Of
achievement to all of us. We pass the
period when we feel the gnawing de-
sire for creation and approach the
condition of observation and contem-
plation. This, say the philosophers, is
the static period. Age cares not so
much to do as to find out why. Age
gradually unfolds to the observing
mind the reason for all things, and.
Age, if it is wise, encourages Youth to
new achievement while, quietly, it
analyses the forces of life Youth,
sometimes pities Age, but Youth does
not know and cannot know the great
compensations that come to Age. To
glide on into the infinite quietly, wise
ly, with unfolding vision as to the
reasons why, and without fear Of the
end-that belondgs only to Age and
that is the greatest of all.
