AMERICAS FIRST DUTY.

The greatest need in America today
Is the formation Of a new national
mind, the construction of n new ma
tional conscience and n reformation
that will bring about a new national
nation with n firmer purpose, a clearer
vision and a complete understanding
Of the words patriotism and Amerl.
canism.
To bring this condition about, the
first problem to be solved Is the liquor
problem, and the liquor problems only
solution Is wiping it entirely and I'M
e%qulvocally Off the map. TO accom-
plish the coming of the "Ncw Ameri-
ca" every saloon beneath the stars and
stripes must be closed.
The great political parties have
failed to respond to this call, for they
do not want the responsibility, and the
time has come for the American people
to disregard political parties and rise
up in a great army and with all their
strength solve the question themselves.
Americas danger Is not from with
out it is from within. Whatever crisis
the United States is facing or will face
is coming, or will come, from internal
causes. 1t is the American people who
have their WI problem to settle, their
own future to decide. And the first
step in this settlement and decision is
the elimination of the saloon.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Patterson of Tennessee.

ALCOHOL AND MEDICINE.

A smashing Of ancient idols has &C.
Cured In our ideas of the value of nj
cohol as n medicine. Seventy-five, yes,
80 years ago II was one of the most
wldely-used remedies, not only in
household but also in professional
medicine. We gave 1t to reduce
fever and to brace up depression, to
improve the appetite and to lessen
%overeating In ~sedentary occupations,
to stimulate the heart and to lower
arterial tension, to break up a cold
and to overcome shock. II was be-
lieved to ward Off infection, to make
blood, and to support the strength in
septic fevers.
Now we know that II Is not n stimu-
liant Or tonic, but n depressant that
though in small doses II increases the
flow Of gastric juice at the beginning
Of n meal, 1t checks the process of
actual digestion Of the food later, so
that one influence just balances the
other, and in small doses its net effect
upon appetite and digestion is just pre-
cisely nothing at all, while In large
doses 1t Is rulnous.

FALLING HAIR means
DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a rs Cent Bottle
Of Danderlne Right Now-Also

Thin, brittle, ~colorless and scraggy
hair Is mute evidence Of q neglected
scalp; Of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of It's luster, Its strength and its very
life; eventually producing n feverish-
ness and itching Of the scalp, which
If not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderlne
tonlght-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a % cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderlhe from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and lu%xuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance Of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just n
few weeks use, when you will actual
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over tho scalp. Adv.

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
MacarIus, Egyptian Man Of Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
! as That Name Entails.

! Probably few of the co~nfectloners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "sweet tooth" are aware that
they have n patron saint all their own,
but such Is the case. He Is st.
Macarlus. Macarlus was adopted by
the confectioners rs their protector
because he himself followed the oc-
cupation of making sweets in Alex
andrin before he forsook the world
and Its ways and retired to Thebais
In upper Egypt to live the solitary and
self-sacrifclng life Of an anchorite. g..
Macarlus lived In the fourth GEN.

ditlons' concerning him, he was a
champion faster. For seven years, Il
Is related, he lived on n diet COM
posed OF raw herbs and pulse. Dur
Ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but 9 lew cabbage leaves. One Of the
remarknble tales told about the
candy saint is that once, having
killed o gnat that bit him, he expiated
the crime" by spending six months
In q marsh, where great venomous
nies abounded, subjecting himself to
such torments that he became a mass
of sores.

Never Abandon Hope.

How often. do we seem, in our prl-
vate fortunes, to be brought to n loose
end? Some source of supply has been
stopped; some door Of career has been
suddenly slammed in our face. The
well-deflned track we have followed
has all at nee disappeared; we are
faced with the wilderness, wherein we
must strike a road of our own. . {.
Assuredly no man, whether he be
great or small, should be afraid Of his
loose ends. They are life's great pos

may be the beginning of your better

GERMANY MOVES
TO PREVENT WAR
Washington Government Re.
fuses to Take Up Offer.
MAY BE ONLY PLAY FOR TIME
No Discussion With Germany So Long
As Submarines Continue Their
Unrestricted Destruction Of
Life and Property.

Washington.-Germany has taken
steps to open a discussion with the
United States of means for prevent.
ing wal between them.
In seeking an exchange Of views on
the subject, however, 1t is not under
stood that the Berlin government has
postponed any modification of its
ruthless submarine campaign, and Off
Gals here feel they cannot enter upon
such a discussion while vessels con.
tinue to be destroyed in violation of
international law.
The new move Is understood to be
predicated upon a willingness on Ger
many's part to discuss especially the
safeguarding Of American ships and
American lives on the seas, and back
ed by a renewed expression Of the de-
sire Of the German government to pre-
vent the diplomatic breach from lead
ing to actual hostiIities.
Just how American interests are to
be safeguarded II the German war
zone proclamation is to stand, how.
ever, and If any specific ear Of pre-.
serving peace between the two nations
is included in the communication has
not been revealed.
Because of the delicacy of the situa-
ton, in fact, all officials refuse to dis.
Gus 1t in detail or even to indicate
through, what channels the communi.
cation was addressed to the American
government.
What may be the Interior motive
back of the step also is a matter of
speculation. In some quarters there
Is evident a feeling that it merely is
a play for time, designed to postpone
any further action by the United
States until the starvation blockade
against England either has succeeded
or failed.
Elsewhere there are suggestions
that there may be behind it a sincere
desire to make sacrifices to preserve
peace between the United States and
Germany may come as a response to
the appeals understood to have been
sent abroad by paci6cists in this
country.
In any event there Is no evidence
that President Wilson is contemplat-
ing any other ourse than vigorous
preparation of the nation for the
%eventuality which he warned against
in his address to Congress If Ameri.
can rights are violated.

WHAT A JEWELRY firm Did
They Invested Some Of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

8. Joseph & Sons, Of Des Molnes,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm II.
With the assistance Of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Molnes,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
plon, Alberta. They put 240 acres Of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one Of the men,
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
Of Champion, In the Province Of AL
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels Of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average Of Al bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
Of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth ut Champion approximately
Sl'oo per Dushel, making u total return
Of $19,610, or nm average OF SS1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be unlnteresting to read
the report Of G. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $4,000 In December,
1915. He stubbled In the whole lot Of
1t, and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade
No. 2 Northern.
Mr.. Wright, being a thorough bust
ness man, gives the cost Of work, and
the amount realized. These figures

and cost Of operation he had S2,472.67

LOCAL OPTION.

Mr.. j. p. Newell OF Portland, Ore,
has illustrated the local option policy
by n comparison with the levee sys-
TEN Of the Mississippi. He says:
"When the country was first settled
the planters looked upon the floods us
n necessary evil. Then one here and
there began to build levees around his
plantation. This proved highly profit
able and the practice spread. Piece
by piece was reclaimed and the low
lands made habitable. But as the
number Of levees increased II was no.
tlced that the difficulty Of maintain
Ing them increased also. The floods,
restricted In area, grew In height. The
expense Of protection became so great
that many could not afford II, and be-
came discouraged. 1t way found nee
essary to abandon the local systems
and join In large districts comprising
all the territory lying naturally to-
gether. BY this plan n few large
levees kept up by all the people Of the
district are sufficient to afford protec-
ton even from extraordinary floods
and the difficulty and expense of main
tenance are greatly reduced.
"The local option system has worked
well for a time, but 1t has proved in
sufficient. As the reclaimed district
Increases in extent, the pressure
against the bikes becomes more severe.
The liquor power, us Its territory is
reduced in area, becomes more de-
termined In Its efforts to regain the
lost ground, for Its leaders realize
that their dominion everywhere is
threatened by successful revolt my
where. Our safety lies in going for
ward. If we stop we shall lose all we
have gained"

In spite Of the best care one takes
OF oneself, any part Of the human machine
Is liable to become out Of order. The
most important organs are the stomach
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals Of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.
"The very best way TO restore the
kidneys to their normal state Of health"
says DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, "is to
drink plenty Of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount Of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than

Washington.-The Swiss Minister,
DR.. Paul Ritter, in charge of Ger
many's diplomatic interests in the
United States, was requested by the
Berlin Foreign Office to ask the State
Department for an affirmation of the
Prussian-American treaty of 1928.

The treaty provides that in the

months to close up their affairs and
depart in safety. 1t also gives guar

POLITICIANS FoRsAKE LIQUOR.

Not many years ago II VAS n f-c-
quent comment, rarely ~contradicted,
that the man who championed the
prohibition cause was committing po-
litical suicide. Today, so great has
been the change in the sentiment Of
voting public that n mar in public
life dares not admit an alliance with
the brewery combine or the distlllery
trust, realizing full well that If he were
to do so he would antagonlze the de-
cent element In his constituency and
arouse suspicion even among those
who have no strong moral convictions
on the prohibition question.-The
Union Signal.
