"The Most
Substantial
and Tempting
Security That
Can Be
Created"
By JACOB HI. SCHlFF
T is proper that every
i. American should do
all in his power to
sustain the efforts of the
country to win the war,
and because Of this help
10 make every Liberty
Loan an undoubted sue
cess by subscribing for
the Bonds to the full ex-
tent of his means.
There is. however, really
no sacrifice in this, for
these bonds, with their
great security and con-
siderable interest yield,
are sure to beworth, when
the war is over, a SUBJ
stantial premium in ex-
cess of their par value,
aside from the fact that
the tax exemption OF
the bonds insures to the
holder a most attractive
return upon the invest
ment as compared with
other securities that are
taxable.
There can be no doubt
that our people would, if
needed, be prepared to
sacrifice all they possess
to enable us to win this
most righteous war.
This, however, will not
be required, and instead
all they are asked to do
is to literally purchase
the most substantial and
tempting security that
can be created

 T tell you they are very good sol- diers. They do not surrender easily. They defended themselves to the death. We found them with their threats cut because they would not be taken prisoners and the Boches killed them"
 In telling of the return of the sur viVors and drawing a word picture of the village in which they are sta toned, MT. Hubert, who was a visi- tor, says:
 The men from this village had just returned from their training in the front trenches. Beside the fifteen straw billets there had been fifteen others. Three of their numbers had been killed and twelve captured in a German raid.
 The men around the hut stove were not disheartened. They quickly assumed the sang froid of the French and told gruesome stories about hav- ing seen six Germans bounce upon Big Tom and slash his throat open.
 InoSc men live III d llILle FllldSS with >~~narrow main street and rush. ing stream from which horses are drinking, ducks padding and old wo men washing clothes. Lined up on the low quai are an American soldier shaving; another brushing his teeth; a little girl dipping a pail; a grand mother trying to capture an elusive duck; and three French women up tN elbows way down the street is a large barn; the bar at the double door playfully bumps all who attempt to enter with unbowed head. A dirt squirter, large enough to hold three farm carts, is surrounded by stalls for cows and horses. Two rustic staircaseS mount 10 the next floor 10 feet above. This is a '. M. c. A. and the home of the men who have had the honor to take rart in the first trench fight
 Scattered around the rough hewn floor are many tables and collapsible benches. A group of soldiers sur rounds a sooty cauldron at one side wherein smokes and blazes a green wood fire. Some rough gymnastic ap- naratus is fitted to the beams and bars beyond. Along the wall are straw billets for fifteen men, neatly cov- cred with blankets in reminiscence Of bunk inspection. The secretaries quarters and canteen counter are on 1 the other side. The latter is well i stacked with sweet chocolate and 1 other American comforts which Paris ] itself cannot supply.

Companion Tells Story of the
 Famous Raid

New York, Jan. 1S.--How the first Americans were killed or captured by the Germans is q story that has not beap fully told. Two accounts of the fight received at the headquarters of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A throw considerable light on it.
 A French boy who fought in an ad- joining section with the Americans, and who helped to bury James T. Gresham, of Evansville, Indiana; Merle Hay. of Glidden, Iowa, and Yhomas F. Enripnt, of Pittsburgh, sent a brief description of the fight to his godmother who gave it to a Y. M, c. A. worker in France, Alfred M Brace, professor of journalism at the University of North Dakota. At the same time, Chauncey P. Hubert sent a description of the return of the survivors of the fight to their quar- t8rs in Y. M. C. A. hut back of the firing line.
 Tho French boy says in part:
 We are now right in the midst of the Americans, but I assure you we were in a quiet section till the mo- ment the Boches began to get cross and started to attack the Americans to make them prisoners. and at the same time attacked us also.

 After a march of 21 miles, the searching party overlook the bandit in a lonely section known as Cani- vete which had been the scene of many of his most desperate achieve ments. Agnelo was hiding in the house of a friend and the police un- dertook to wait until he should leave his refuge, but their presence was soon reported to the desperado, who mounted his horse and set out at a gallop to meet the police.
 When told to dismount and con- sider himself a prisoner, Agnelo dashed forward, shooting at the men who had attempted to arrest him. Dism bunting and using his horse as a shield, he continued shooting until the police began to close in on him,

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not TO treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish il brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does. but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure she teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct il. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. II is best not
to take calomel, but to let DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches. "dullness' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy Note how they 'clear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits.
