THE BEST ANSWER EVER.

If the Kaiser and his slaves in the United
States expected that the Liberty Loan would
prove (! failure their judgement of Americans
sentiment and duty in this great struggle was
faulty as i'll everything else they have under
taken. In single day, the loan was oversub-
sc5ibod by one third. If this fact shows any
thing, it shows ? solid front which is all that
which is needed to win the war. When the
President said that every resource of our coun-
try was pledged to the cause, he knew that Amer
lea was a united nation, and as such would not
stop short of victory in anything that the nation
undertook, notwithstanding the combined efforts
of the Kaisers great army of slaves infesting the
country to defeat our aim. If the success Of the
third loan is not sufficient to convince the skep
ticals; let them wait little longer, and more
proof of unity will presently appear. We are
not sending our brothers to fight in trenches
without giving them the necessary support.
And if it is money and food they need, these nee
essites shall be forthcoming at all time regard
less Of activities of all the slaves pros and degen
crates making up the Kaiser's great armies.

THE DAY MAY COME, BUT

Eastern manufacturers have started move
ment whereby they will endeavor to convince
the women to discard skirts for overals. They
advance many reasons to encourage the change,
chief among them is that loose clothing is a con-
slant source Of danger to women operators in
shops where they take the mems places, and
therefore entails greater responsibilities; great
g precautions must be taken by the manufacture
er as the law provides remedy for those in
iured. Heretofore amy suggestion that the wo-
men workers abandon skirts and adopt some
other garments has usually been met by such
violent objection, that manufacturers have given
up III despair Some employers have not even
ventured upon the subject. The first step of
course is to find practical substitute; and moth
lng perhaps can take the place of skirts more
effectively than overalls. Of their value as SUBJ
stltute, however, women must be convinced,
which is Job that anyone man will hesitate to
tackle. Any man who has ever tried to convince
q woman to marry him, for instance, knows what
g job he had. Such men are not likely to at
tempt to convince them that overalls would be
better, ant. they will leave the subject alone.
At least that is the way we feel about that.

the number of operators and employees coming
north to open up the salmon canning plants
It is true that on account of curtailment in
government railroad work and general condit-
ions governing placer mining, falling off in
laborers is shown along those lines, but we be-
lieve that the increase due to the remarkable de-
velopment in the fishing industry, will more than
offset that decline in the usual annual rush to
the north. All in all, Alaska promises to break
another record this year, even though
the gold output should fall short. With the in
crease value Of the salmon and copper, it is only
reasonable to believe that the total value Of all
commerce will surpass last years record.

The Meanings Of Goods And
Services.

! The following paragraphs are
adapted from British publication
urging War Thrift and the organiza-
ton of War Saving Societies.
When it is said that in the pre-
sent financial year the Government
is to spend a specfied amount of
money, what is meant is what the
Government must have, for purposes
of war, goods and services valued
at that amount.
The goods are the supplies re-
quired in the shape of ships, shells,
guns, rifles, motors, horses, saddlery,
clothes and food for the soldiers and
sailors.
The services are the services rem
dered by the fighting men and by all
who supply the various requires
ments of the Army and Navy.
These goods and services have to
be provided now.
And if the Governmepti is to have,
in the enormous VOLUME required,
the goods and services that need to
be provided now, civilians who can
not fight must go without many of
the goods and services they used to
enjoy in times of peace.
This is inevitable, for there is not
enough available energy and labor
in the country to produce all that
is required for the war, and also to
provide the comforts and luXuries
we need to enjoy when There was no
war.
In short, the needs Of the nation
for the purposes of war cannot be
met unless we save, aud save with
out the things that are not absolute
ly essential to efficiency and health
of the individual.
There is a serious she tage Of la
Dor and materials, and the Army and
Navy need all they can get of both.
The Nation is now buying on a
very large scale, and so is the civil
lian population. At the sametime,
supplies are strictly limited. Ine-
vitably, prices are high.
All the things purchased have used

STELLA-vITAE

wantevery afflicted woman to try

Is that which any true woman feels in
helping to relievethe sufierings of other
women. You can believe them.
Mrs. J. f. Lee, Milstead, Ca, had
female complaint for years. Three bot
ties of STELLA-VITAE cured her, she
said, and added,"I am certainly thank
full for this great female tonic" Mrs.
Paralee Frazier, Longview, Tex, ex-
pressed appreciation of STELLA-VITAE
in these words: 81 cannot say too much
for this wonderful medicine. L had
taken other female medicines for two
years with no good results. / am truly
grateful for the good STELLA-VITAE
has done me-" Mrs. Sandy Withers,
OF Greensboro, Ala, was terrible suf-
ferer from female trouble-and only q
woman knows what that means! Her
condition got SO bad her pains threw
her into spells like fits. Her husband
feared she would lose her mind. The
Greensboro doctors pronounced her in
durable. Then somebody suggested
that she take STELLA-VITAE. She did
so The first dose lightened her spells.
STELLA-VITAE is a perfectly HARM
less compound and it not only alleviates
q woman's pain, but builds up her
health; it stimulates her appetite, aids
digestion, quiets her nerves and clears
her complexion 1t improves her per-
sonal appearance.
All dealers sell Stella-Vitae, and are
authorized to return the money paid
for the first bottle ifit does not benefit.
