GAS FIGHTING is OLD.

1t may not be generally known, but
long years ago people used gases in
warfare. No accounts given in histo-
ry indicate that such wide use of it
has been made at any time as during
the present war. Civilized nations
have generally left this out of the pro
gram and those nations fighting Ger
many have until recently not used it
widely.
The use Of gas in warfare dates
back to about 400 b, c. The Spartans
saturated wood with pitch and sulphur
ana burned ii under the walls of cities
which they We're attacking. For sew
eral centuries gas has not been used in
warfare, and The Hague convention
definitely ruled against it. However,
on April %, 1915, the Germans liberia
ted great clouds of gas against Cana
dian troops near Ypres. Terrible de-
struction and decentralization resulted
from this first gas attack, and within
week England was making plans for
gas warfare against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French women sent
To the front hundred of thousands Of
home made gas masks. For the most
part they were merely bandages I'M
preguated with chemicals TO wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives,
hut afforded only limited protection.

and it must be made so strong that
no one on the pro-German side can
try to make believe he is on the
other side.
Every man and woman must be an
out-and-out American or an enemy of
America.
On one side stand the men and wo-
men who uphold honor and morality.
On the other side stand men and
women whOuphold crime and immoral
atty.
On one side stand men and women
who are patriotic.
On the other side stand men and
women who uphold crime and immor-
traitors to this country but traitors
to civilization and humanity.
Let every man note carefully on
which side he stands.

PosTMAsTER's REPLY

POS MHS Z II y hETEI
Z A postmaster in one section Of the
country had complaint from people
of certain community where lived
a religious organization that did not
believe in war. This community
could not buy war saving stamps or
buy bonds or in any other way help
win the war because it opposed war
Here is what somebody represet-
ing the government in the post Office
department had to say in reply:
1.-THE principle corner stone of this
Government Is il guarantee of polit-
ical and religious liberty to every
citizen, and every citizen is projected
fully in the privilege Of Worshiping
God according to his view and the
dictates of his conscience. Every
member of the Pentecostal NaZarene
Church has been protected in his per
son and property by this Government
and it's constitution and laws, and |
submit that each owes to the Govern
ment that thus protects him his un-
divided, unwavering support in its
TiLbnic unprecedented struggle in

Work of the United States Food Adj
ministration was greatly assisted by
the success last season of the war gar
dens. Try and raise enough food to
supply your household needs for a
year. Make an estimate of what you
are likely to require in the way Of
food and then endeavor to make the
soil give it to you Did you ever re-
alize what big results you get from
placing one seed in the ground,
and adding to il a little labor? You
receive back many times the seed in
return. Now gardening is one Of the
ways in which every one, young or
old, can help win the war, and at the
same time derive returns of mater
ial nature.

given pledge; and their noncombatant
fathers, husbands and brothers slaugh-
tered without proyocation or justifica-
ton, and all has been done in the
name of God Of The German Emperor,
it is high time for every American
citizen to declare himself by his acts
aud TO give to the government the
unqualified support Of every dollar he
is able to procure and spare from the
support of himself and family. Any
man who has throughout his life en-
ioyed the blessings conferred upon
every American citizen by the benz
ncant laws and institutions of this
country, who does not openly declare
himself and stand shoulder to Shout.
der with every ether loyal citizen, no
matter To what church he belongs or
whether lie is identified w3-h any
church or rot, does not deserve the
protection Of the laws under which he
has thiry3d. He deserves to become
the political slave of the autocratic
unspeakable Hun of the Junkers who
would rule the world and who will en-
slave every one who will oppose them
If America does not win this war /
cannot believe that your people have
looked this situation squarely in the
face else they would see the truth
as ii has been seen by the vast ma
jority of their fellow citizens who are
cheerfully accepting the sacrifices i'm
posed upon them by this war which is
SO eminently a war ofmight defend
ing against might and which must be
won by the right else the lamp of re-
ligious and political liberty will be
rxtinguished for centuries to come and
the people of this country and their
allied cofghters against autocracy that
knows no right but might will be en-
shaved for ensuing centuries.
Thousands of people in this coun-
try who are as conscientiously oppo-
sed to war as are the members of
your church are cheerfully and prayer
FULLY contributing Of their cash to fill
The Golfers Of our government to sup
port the fighting front and on the high
sea the flour of our young manhood
giving out its life blood in protection
of our dearly bought and to be dear
ly defended liberties. In this present
drive, your people are not asked to
give Of their substance to the govern
ment, only to invest with the govern
mcnt at a goodly rate of interest. all
the surplus they would otherwise in
vest in banks at lesser interest or
on mortgages, the principal and in
terest free form taxes. Can loyal
citizen do less and deservee the claim
to loyalty? Would they dare by rea-
be considered less than loyal?
eco over the top and carry every
one of thrifty loyal thinking people
with you They owe it to their country,
to their President who is the Presi-
dent of the whole people, to their
wives and children, to themselves and
TO the God of the fatherless and OPP
pressed Of other christian lands to do

FINE CHEESE EXHIBIT AT
MANITOWOC COUNTY FAIR

"The Cheese Exhibit at the Manito-
woo county fair this year was good to
look upOn," said e. L. AlderhOld of
Neenah, who acted as judge, land in
quality was as high, if not higher, than
anv exhibit of it's size ever saw at a
county fair"
Longhorn and young American
cheese were featured, and prizes were
given to Twin and Dairy cheese and
Creamery and Dairy butter.
At a time when the public is being
exhorted to eat dairy products, the
attractiveness of such exhibits fur
theirs the work of the Wisconsin Food
Administration. The many varieties
of cheese are advertised, and the rea-
condolences of it's cost in comparison
with meats is demonstrated.
"It is fair general estimate that
given amount of money spent for
American cheese at ordinary prices
will buy about twice as much food as
1t would if spent for meat" claims
DR.. Sherman, professor of Food Chem
istry at the Columbia university.
Generally speaking, cheese sells at
no higher price per pound than the
ordinary cuts of meats, while is is
considerably richer in both protein
and fat"

The drys will make determined eff
fort when the Wisconsin legislature
meets next winter to have the fed
eral prohibition amendment passed
and already they are claiming ma
jority in both branches. But claims
don't make realities. The senate men,
Der from this district will certainly
not support such an amendment and
we do not believe Mr.. LEM will eth
er if elected to the assembly on the
democratic ticket. If he voted for such
an amendment he would not be repre-
senting the will of the district to say
the least In this connection the Mil
waukee News says:
1.-THE dry leaders say they intend to
emphasize the issue in every way pos
sible to the voters, and that it is their
plan not only to make a speaking
campaign in the districts in which
there are candidates who are Op-
posed to the amendment, but also to
send out literature in the districts.
The opponents of the federal prohibi-
ton amendment will not admit they
consider the claims of the drys for a
| majority in both houses of the legis-
lature for the amendment as well
founded, and still claim to believe the
Wisconsin legislature will not endorse
the amendment. 1t is their claim that
| the drys are listing in their column
many legislature members who are
certain Of election as being favorable
to the amendment who will never sup
port the measure"
