Lepers Invest $4,000 in
War and Thrift Stamps
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. April 10.--The lep-
ers at Molokai, one Of the Hawaiian
Islands. have bought $4,000 worth OF
thrift and war savings stamps. the
national war savings committee an
nounced today The committees at
tentior was called to the contribution
of the lepers by letter written to a
friend in Memphis, Tenn. by Brother
Joseph F. Dutton, now in charge OF
the island colony.
The committee statement says:
Formerly an army officer as well
as a social favorite. Brother button
has devoted the past years of his life

Brother Dutton may not leave the
island, but he flies the stars and
stripes above the leper camp. and COM
municates regularly with friends IN
Memphis. At the conclusion of long
letter, displaying keen interest In
the affairs of the war. he says: AND
so here we are--all the world in big

So far away we are busy with 1t over

EBBETS DEMANDS
TORONTO DIG UP
FOR NAP LAJ0|E
Indianapolis Has Hard Time
Getting Manager for the
1918 Club.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 10
Charley Ebbets now kicks through
with an IL to his statement that he is
willing for Lajoie to be turned over 10
the Indianapolis club. He says he
will make a terrible fight for the
Frenchman unless he gets the $4,000
from Toronto that he paid McCanery
for Lajoie. 1t would seem that 1T
would be an easy matter for the Ma
tional commission to tell Mr.. Mccall
fiery to pay the $4,000 he received for
Lajoie il the commission had any de-
sire to make the Frenchman free
agent.
The latest angle to the whole affair
would lead one to believe that Ebbets
is the one that is holding up the de-
cision of the Supreme court OF base
ball. 1t is not to be expected that ED.
bets would want to be knocked out OF
$4,000 in the deal and there Is no rea-
son under heaven why he should be.
McCaffery got something for nothing
and then tried to convert this some
thing into cold cash. Does 1t appear
that he could be able to gotble up
this money in the manner in which
he got it?
Lajoie didn't cost him cent other
than the salary paid him, because ne
was a free agent when the Toronto
boss signed him up Not being salts
fed with turning the Frenchman into
a gold mine by his winning the pen
nant for the club, he tried to knock
down a few more shekles by pulling
the small trick Of selling LaJoie to an
other CLUB against his will.

RY RUBBING WITH LINZ
MENTS AND ONT
MENTS.

If you are one of the many
thousand victims of torturing
Rheumatism, make up your
mind today that you will apan-
don your efforts to rub the dis
ease away with liniments, 10
lions, ointments, and local ap-
plications. Such treatment by
itself is not only futile and de
void of results, but is waste OF
time, during which the disease
is getting a firmer hold on your
system.
Rheumatism is a stubborn
disease. 1t is not on the sur
face, therefore you must not ex-
pect to be able to cure it with
remedies applied to the surface.
! No one ever yet effected a per-
manent cure in this way, so why
| should you continue to suffer
while relying upon treatment
that has failed in thousands OF
cases?
The experience of others af.
flicted with Rheumatism is
your best guide, and by follow.
ing their advice you can not
only save yourself untold suf'
, fering, but rid yourself OF dis
ease that will eventually wreck
your body and leave you help
less. Almost every victim OF
Rheumatism has practically the
same experience. They are Sc
impressed with the pains ano
suffering of the disease. and are
so anxious to get rid OF then
that they have treated the pain:
alone, and overlooked theil
cause. They have rubbed with
liniments. lotions and ointments
in an effort to get temporary
relief, with no chance of doing
themselves any perm a mem
good.

Any physician will tell you
that Rheumatism is a deep
seated blood disease. The pain
is not the disease itself, but
merely a symptom - natures
warning to you that you have
been attacked. The only intel
ligent treatment, therefore, is
through the blood; treatment
directed toward eliminating the
disease germ from the blood.
For years nearly all the pre-
scriptions used by the medica!
profession were those contain
ing iodide of potash or mercuri-
al substances, but in nearly ev-
cry case these minerals are
more injurious to the system
than the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism and other blood
disorders is the fact that it is a
purelv vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs
gathered direct from the for
ests. It contains not a particle
of mineral substance, and acts
by driving all disease germs
from the blood and cleansing it
of all impurities. S. S. S. has
been on the market for fifty
Years, and every druggist has
sold it ever since he has been in
business. 1t is sold under an
absolute guarantee that it is
purely vegetable.

THE OPEN COLUMN
The Land Tax.

Editor the Missourian: The land tax
will be submitted to the voters of Mis-
souri, at the next election. 1t should
be passed. There is no question bu;
that the land tax, or as it is called, the
single tax is equitable. Land would
be taxed according to its value, under
this law. Its value would depend on
its location and fertility. Land To-
Gated near city would be taxed more
than land located far out in the cOun-
try. Values as to location would be
based on nearness to cities.
Farmers should favor this law, as
it does not, as many of them think,
make the farmer pay the majority Of
the taxes. City property is considered
the most valuable from the stand
point of taxation under this law, and
is accordingly taxed more. Conse-
quently the farmer whose farm is dis
tant from the eIcity may put all the i'm
provements he wishes to on his farm
and not be taxed excessively therefor.
One OF the main values of this sys-
TEN of taxation is that it would dis
courage prof1teering in land. The
man who has been buying large tracts
of land on the outskirts of a city ami
letting it lie idle, without any improve
ments, would find himself pretty heavi-
ly taxed, and would improve his
land in order to sell it. He could not
afford to wait until the city grew out
his way.
The land tax is the single tax with
the single eliminated. Formerly, Hen
ry George and his co-believers thought
that the land tax should be the only
tax imposed. Now the idea is modified
to include the existence of other taxes,
such as the income and inheritance
taxes. In that way the objection to the
single tax, that it would not bring in
enough revenue to pay all the ex-
penses of the state, is removed. 1t is
claimed that the revenue would now
be sufficient.
Supporters of the land tax also
claim that it would do away with most
of the injustice which results under
the present system, and that it would
more nearly meet the state budget
Whether or not this is so remains to
be seen. But it is certain that the
present system has nothing to recon-
mend it, and change could not possi-
bly, be worse.-L F.

THE BLESSING OF WORK

"By the sweat of thy brow shalt
thou earn thy bread" said the Lord
when He drove Adam and Eve out of
the Garden of Eden, and this phrase
has been quoted to prove that labor is
a curse The all wise wisdom of the
Father is not comprehended if thus
we read it. God knew that only work
could so fill mans life THAI he would
forget the blessing he had forfeited,
and be happy. Thank God that he
made it possible to earn ones bread
by the sweat of ones brow.
In early life children play always.
No day is long enough for all the play
to be ended and the night comes al
ways too son; but when childhood is
over happy is the man who has found
his work. He asks nothing further
than the strength and ability to go on
and play his part like a man and to
die in the harness. The heaven Of
laziness, where one may loll on f1ow-
cry De0S OF ease, Is not Jne heaven u
his desire. He, rather, can sympa-
thise with the old lady who hoped she
might have a chance to mend the lit
tie angels trousers when she reached
her heavenly home.
Work is the consolation of the sor-
rowing, that only which makes it pos
sible to take up life when sorrows
crowd upon us and almost beat us
down. Work is the vision which
guides US onward, the good genie that
enables us to make dreams come true
for the blessing of ourselves and all
mankind
Thank God for work.
