From machine gunnery to the kitchen

Of their weapon and draw the deadly
fire of tho enemy. For this reason spe-

manipulating the gun SO as to fire when

the cartridge belt slowly back and for

not so intense as it, would be If the
weapon were working smoothly, it is
frequently sufficient to stop the on
coming enemy.
The record for speed in this sort of
work is held by Sergt. Ralph S. Moore

more than heroic means to keep him.

Work or fight" is the rule that
should apply throughout America to-
day, in the opinion of Robert Moran,
State director of the Public Service
Reserve, United States Department of
Labor, for the State of Washington.
In an appeal to the loyal people of the
State of Washington, he writes:
utilization of our man power to
the fullest extent is going to be the
deciding factor in winning the war.
President Wilson. in his address
to the State directors of the Public
Service Reserve and the United States
Employment Service, at the close of
their conference in Washington
short time ago, said:
1.-The raising of all armed force is
relatively easy but the mobilization of
the industrial army is infinitely more
difficult"
I'VE have Just two classes of citi-
zens in tie United States in time of
war. The first class volunteer, or, at
least respond promptly on call for
sercice in the Army or Navy. or they
are now engaged on useful work The
other class includes those who would
prefer to lend aid to the enemy, then

Mrs. S. Straus, who has been
placed in charge of the Jewish Relief
Fund in Mason county announces that
the people are subscribing we'll to the
fund without any solicitation on her
part. Up to the present time approx
mately $115 has been subscribed but
she is anxious to increase the fund
to $500 before the close of this week
Mrs. Straus wants to close the fund
for Mason county so that she can send
this county's contribution to the fund
for the -relief of the suffering Jews
in Europe to the American national
headquarters on next Monday which
is one of the most important Jewish
holidays in the year-The Day of
Atonement. In order to complete the
fund at $500 the people must be very
liberal during the next few days Mrs.
Straus will make no visits to urge
contribution but all must be free will
offerings
Up to the present time Mrs. Straus
announces the contributions to the
fund as follows: ]. w. Elgin, S1.OO;
Mamie Busby, soc; NJ ]. Mccarthy,
$1.00; Alma Potts, $500; James II.
Hall, $500; b. Shwendeneck, soc;

Although the Jews of the country
have been very liberal in their sup
port of all war activities this is the
first time they have asked non-Jews to
contribute to any of their war relief
funds and 1t is certain that there are
yet many people who would be glad
to contribute to this fund. Any per-
son desiring to make a contribution
will deliver the same to Mrs. S. Straus
at the New York Store where it will
be thankfully received and forwarded
with the other contributions from this
county to the national headquarters
in Washington City.

FOUNDATION OF YOUTH

1t is not a myth, but a reality and

grow old gracefully should guard
against all organic weakness and de-
rangements, and at the first symptom
of such conditions resort to Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, ma
lures own root and herb remedy, to
restore health. For three generations
women of America have depended up
on this successful remedy and have
found no other medicine to equal It,
