allied forces il they made bold at

general order dated July o. he outlined
the great scheme OF defensive tactics
and wound up by saying 1T could

many of his soldiers this is now the
case. Herr Ludendorft and his imperial
master forgot the benefits which have
been wished for by the allies for their
own enjoyment, benefits which have
been reaped and those which are still
to come

If we keep constantly in mind that
there is no wartime meaning In thrift
which does not increase the indus
trial power at the command of the
nation, we shall be in less danger Of
overlooking the fact that there are
conditions in which thrift may defeat
Its essential purpose. There has been
too much of n tendency TO regard
every dollar saved ms an addition to
the war resources Of the nation. says
New Republic II Is true now. MS II
was true before the war, that much Of
our working class lacks the means to
provide the food, clothing and house
room essential for full industrial eff
cheney. To induce the worker who is
already inadequately supplied to cut
down the consumption of his family
and himself is of doubtful service to
the nation. For employers to compel
underpald workers to contribute to
government loans is to add despotiSm
to unreason. Thrift at the expense of
industrial power represents sacri-
flee of the end to the means.

Russian peasants are wise. They
will only accept American bank notes
in payment for their wheat, says the
Fort Worth Record. German buyers
are purchasing large quantities of
United States notes for shipment to
Austria by way of Switzerland TO he

wheat crops from the Ukraine. Rus
sian peasants know the difference be-
tween the central empires counterfeit
money and the real money Of the
United States. They were betrayed
by Lenine and Trotzky into the
clutches of the military autocrats Of
middle Europe, but they are shrewd
traders and they demand American
money in payment for their products
before these products pass into the
hands of the Prussian Overlords.

been transformed into rupees of Brit.

to pay Indian soldiers. In exchange,

Yesterday It was only the men who
went forth TO war while the women
remained behind to keep up the home
and cultivate the fields. Today the
women still keep UP the home and cul-
Hvate the fields, but they also do their
part-a splendid part--in the actual
work Of carrying on war. Thousands
OF these women are scattered about
the United Kingdom and in France;
many OF them very close to the actual
battlefront, risking their lives and Civ
ing themselves as freely. as unselfishly
and courageously as their men do to
drive from the earth all fear of the
iron heel of Prussianlsm, says New
Success. They are in the base and
field hospitals. and canteens and dress
ing stations, in the Y. NJ. G. A. huts--
everywhere, and are an indispensable
factor in carrying on the war.

But short time ago pesslmlstic
writer's were Historically bewailing the
deterioration of American manhood.
They saw evidences Of 1t in the fac
tories, in the public schools, in every
walk of life, and prophesled that in a
few years we would be pathetic race
of pygmies, says Philadelphia Tele-
graph. In any Of our national en-
equipments one may now see the finest
specimens of manhood on the face Of
the earth. American manhood Is far
from deterioration. AS matter of
fact we are growing stronger every
day. Advancement in the sciences,
clean living and better understand
ing of hygienlc essentials have placed
us in the foreground Of physical de-
velopment.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, MD.

II can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you cat,
troubles begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
rnonest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, poor appetite, sleepiesSness, coughs,
colds and bronchitisaye almost as common.
There is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy to do il you
take DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis.
covery. II is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for it is
made Of roots and herbs. DIR. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and ii is good to know that so
distinguished q physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are
getting the benefit OF the experience Of
doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth Still more, you get temper
aflce medicine that contains not drop OF
alcohol or narcotic Of any kind Long ago
DR.. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable ingredients--without the use Of
alcohol--so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.
Ii piles are torturing you, get and use
Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. If constipated, DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will relieve and usually over
come. They are 50 good that nearly
every drug store has them for sale.
