SUCCESSFUL MEN
CYRUS Il. K. CURTIS.

"A passage in story Rudyard Kipling
was writing for Mr.. Curtis referred to
the hero in his excitement and despair,
gulping down a glass of brandy. AS
Mir Curtis objects to any reference to in-
toxicating liquors in his publications., he
telegraphed to Mr.. Kipling asking him
TO change the passage. He received the
following reply "Strike out brandy,
and insert Melins Food"
Curtis first adventure in the publishing
business was made on borrowed capital.
but his determination to push ahead and
ability to hold on soon enabled him to get
out of debt and place his magazine
His ability to build is clearly shown in
his efforts with the Saturday Evening
Post When he purchased it, it was in
q deplorable condition with a circulation
not over a hundred and scarcely no adj
vertising. One editor was all 1t could
boast but through his untiring efforts ana
shrewd business management 1t now
boasts thirty editors and a million and
a half circulation.
He is determined. enterprising, and
thoroughly self-relient Absolute honesty
In all things Is his motto.
The protection OF his readers in the
nefarious advertisements is a matter OF
history in the publishing world.

This plainly shows the face of it that the Douglas

voters Of Cochse county, when they will allow both
sides of the argument to be placed before them.
We believe the voters of Douglas, however will not
be minded submit the One-sided argu-

GIRLS
CARRIED MAIL BAGS

American girls are busy in count
less ways to win the war in their own
country. as has been shown by many
reports received by the Department
of Labor. and it has now developed
that they are equally active in
France. Three American girls. all
pronipent socially and members of
widely known New York and Mon
tana families. have been acting as
mail carriers between Senlis and
Vic-sur Aisne
News of their work was received by
the American Committee for Devas-
tated France. which has headquarters
at 16 East Thirtyninth. New York
City. The young women began their
career as mail carriers during the first
week of June. when the German
army was making Roadway in its
drive toward Paris. The shortage of
man power and the congestion of the
railroads. which were carrying NUM-
tons TO the front. made the mail prob
lem difficult and the French govern
ment was glad to avail itself of the
services Of the three girls.

PHOENIX. Oct. 25.-The State
Couacil OF Defense is advised by the
couhcii 4 National Defenes that
some soldiers and sailors are dropping

and detrimental to the best interests
Of the fighting men and their loved

Because OF delay in receiving in

ceiving This is incorrect. Govern
ment insurance is effective regard
