Don't Have a Double Chin.

An Investigator declares that the
double chin can be controlled and very
largely mitigated. 1t depends largely
upon the carriage and pose of the head.
The person who has repeated chin,
or is threatened with one, should re-
call and practice DR.. Edward Everett
Hale's famous advice: Look up, not
down." The person who sits, or
stands, or walks, with an erect body
and keeps the chin up-tilted, can defy
the crease and the fatty ridges.

TELL THE KAISER
r.
THAT WE'RE FIGHTING

Thai VT k[ fldhIIndI
* Germany wants toknow what the
United States is fighting for. She
thinks the sinking Of neutral ships
without warning isn't enough to.
bring us in. Alright! Let's tell her!
We're fighting for outraged wom-
en-! We're fighting for crucified
nuns! We're fighting for little
children with hands and arms miss
ing! We're fighting for namelessly
lmutilated soldiers We're fighting
for innocent thousands strewn up
on the bottom of the sea! We're
fighting for Belgium--outraged and
desecrated as no nation in the pre-.
vious history Of the world has ever
been! We're fighting for France
that magnificent nation of heroes
bled while defending civilization
against the Power of the Beast!
We're fighting for England, which
chose the path Of honor, black
tinted with despair, when the little
nation she had sworn to defend was
set upon by a wild beast! We're
fighting for Italy, which took up
the cause Of Right against the pow
er of Wrong, terrible though she
knew the cost must be! We're
fighting in defense of those princi-
piles of human liberty which were
laid down nineteen centuries ago by
that first great teacher and preach
or of rights-the Man Of Galilee!
Every iota of the philosophy and
creed of Hate, and blood, and vio-
lence, and bestiality, and diabolic
cruelty, and human enslavement
that marks every footstep Of the
Kaiser and his cohorts Of hell-are
indirect and damnable opposition
tosevery thought, every word, and
deed of the Man Of Galileei
There is therefore no fight Of
democracy against autocracy. It
| is contest of Man against Man. It
is . titanic struggle between Right
and. Wrong; between the philoso-
ply Of Jesus Christ and the powers
Of Evil, through the earthly defend
ers Of each!
j And we're going to Fight Fight
Fight side by side with our fellows
/ ilHhe cause Of Humanity, until
| there is no vestage left on all this
great earth, Of the powers that, de-
tying God and man, precipitated
this cataclysm Of blood and tears.
There is only one sentiment in
| this whole broad land today, and
thesman who does not recognize it
must indeed be deaf, dumb and
blind; and that sentiments is a
dYgged determination deep down in
shdyery heart Of every. mar that
we are going to fight until we have
Justified Italy; saved England;
swept immortal France free of the
| Hun; liberated Belgium; avenged
4 $50 far as is within human power the
countless crimes Of German against
] civilization; broken the linden
burg line and swept the army Of
the beast as chaff before the wind
humbled the Empire Of He'll, and
Please God, rid the Earth of the
KAISER and all his Fell Breed!

ADDRESS
TO 65TH ART. c. A. c.

~ w uu tvuuJ1 VI tu
You have just passed three
months among us and now you are
leaving us to accomplish the sacred
mission, which has been thrust up-
on you by your citizens and fellow
countrymen, and to throw in the
balance of destiny, the heavy sword
which will make its weight on the
side where is found right, the JUS
tice and the liberty of the world.
And that the Almighty will ac-
company you and give you strength
to accomplish gloriously the mis-
sion.
Who will permit the most of you
to return to the liberal America,
who made the sacrifice in sending
you here and found the greatest
glory in doing so, and we pray that
you will return to the loved ones
left behind.
Who will permit you to return
and find your parents who loved
you, with all their hearts still alive
and in good health. Il
And to grant to those among you
who will fall in the struggle, the
reward which is reserved for his
elect.
Your departure, Americans, will
leave a large space among us for we
have become accustomed to see you
drill on our streets and ways, and
to see you circulate among us, gay,
happy and confident and filled with
kindness.
Our children will never forget you
large boys who played with them
and took them in your arms and
gave them caresses and bonbons,
and no doubt these children bret
sweet remembrances- of home.
Our young, ladies will keep sacred
1.-THE memories Of our good grace, of
our gaiety, and of your courtesies
truly chivalrous.
Our poor will also regret the de-
parture of those who so generously
gave, and with discretion, and thus
put into proper application the
Verse of our poet "The motive of
giving is of more value than that
which we give.
| We all love you; we will all re-
greet yout departure, and we will ac-
company you with our best wishes
wherever you go. &:
! We have all admired the good
harmony that exists between Off
GERS and men, and the exact disci-
pine fully observed notwithstand-
ing the great familiarity existing
between officers and men.
!. 4 Our thanks and rem mbrances to
your Colonel, that gentleman, &C.
complished and surely loved by you
|1who has been a pillar Of strength
despite the gravity Of the hour, ane
who has laid at our doors entertain
ments, excellent music by the regi
ment, concert Of the winners, box
ing matches and many other thing
almost discontinued by our popu
lation.
And we also extend our thank
to have been permitted to admire
every day, the good carriage Of tn
officers and troops, the parades ane
reviews with the Noble flag Of the
stars and stripes which already OF
/ the battlefield floats in union witt
our glorious tricolor.
Receive our farewell, America
friends, and we wish from the bot
tom Of our hearts that health, hap
piness, and glory will follow you
and you leave remembrances whicl
| will make you considered as one o
our beloved family.

MAYOR URGED BY U. s.
TO RUSH PUBLIC WORK
War Labor Policies Board
Says 1t Will Help Stabil.
ize Situation

Mayor Smith today received from the
War Labor Policies Board the follow
ing letter urging resumption Of public
work as an aid in stabilizing labor and
industry:
The amount of public works post
poned on account of war conditions is
very large If considerable portion
If these delayed public works are well
under way during the transition period
from war to peace. they will greatly help
in stabilizing employment and industry.
The return Of war workers into the es-
sential industries of peace and the de-
mobilization of our military forces can
both be made more easily II the neces-
sary public works of the municipalities
Of the United States are in full swing at
that time.
Therefore. the War Labor Policies
Board suggests that your city immedi-
ately determine how much of its delayed
ruhlc works it can and will undertake.
and when the different portions of it will
be begun.
"As soon as your preliminary plans
are agreed upon, the nearest office of the
United States Employment Service will
nation concerning the number and kinds
of workers needed for carrying out your
plans.
The aggregate of such information
from all the municipalities of the United
States will be of great value to the Gov
ernnent"

I'VE we're organized primarily for an
emergency, and now that this is over we
must get down TO basis of competitive
industry, and we will be compelled to
drop many things. There will be no
baseball and boxing. The various schools
for teaching riveting and other crafts
will probably go out of existence. Guards
will be decreased and the intensive con-
troll of various phases Of educational and
training in the labor situation will be
vastly modified.
In other words, artificial stimulation
will be stopped. The office and welfare

be minimized while the construction part
will be enhanced. While we will cut

safety we will have machinery in opera.

are to be bent to get down to a normal
