Pass the National. Guard Bill
By EARL GOODWIN.
the Capital Defense Which May Prove Of the Greatest
Value.

There is sleeping somewhere in Congress bill to
thorize national guard in the District of Columbia
There is opposition to it. apparently; all it needs ID
some one to take 1T and push through to enactment
The passage of this bill has been requested by the
President In letter to Congress- and has been mdorsed
by the District Commissioners. trust that In
Congress will realize the Importance of the and
will take it up and not drop it until both houses have
passed it.
The legislation provides national guard for service
in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia In
does it interfere with counter to the seectve
service law but any having service in the national
guard will go into the United States army with military
knowledge which Will put him considerable distance ahead
of his fellows who have had experience at ALL
The idea of having the service of the District national
guard confined to the District and the two neghborng
States is to prevent depicting the Government service Of
many of its valuable employees in the event the District
guard in great emergency called into final service
by the President
So far company has been inspected and accepted
by the War Department national guard troops with
other company to follow in two three weeks These
sments however under the regular national guard
law which calls for three years service and three years
the reserve While these enlstmens desirable it is
believed that great many companies be enlisted
under this special legislation it finally be put through
Congress and signed by the President great many
in the District who between the national guard Of
enlistment namely, eighteen to fortyfve years. wish to
enlist in the District guard and holding of until this
special legislation is finally enacted

Queer Notions of the Half-Developed Human Being
Death Is Called Stagnation-It Helps Progress.

pecuiarities of humanity.
When Wagner died. his wife, the daughter of Liszt
another very able musician had womans desire show
her grief in some unsesh way Her hair was very long
very beautiful and Wagner had always greatly admired it.
She cut all off short and put underneath his head he

when that man was buried all men had very long, curly and
luxuriant hair.

Death affects curously all of us. And death, like
every other universal influence brought bear upon us by
the wisdom that rules u.s. influences for good.
Exceptionally it makes do foolish things. But it
makes all want do the best can-above all it gives
all desire to do something unsesh. The poor savage

her husband The unhappy wife in India burned alive
with her husbands body.
Some of face of death rratonally, like those
spoken of above Others of higher type show in their
grief how wisely we are ruled.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, for instance loses through

He has established admirable beautiful institution

This picture from the columns of Punch tells better
than any words what the Germans think of the allied air
raids on their towns and cities
The more flyers we send with loads of dynamite the
sooner will be able to show the German people how
hopeless the plans of their murderous Kaiser
sooner they will say to him. 1--WE have had enough in

The air is the way to victory
As can keep ALL the Germans looking ALL

Twenty cents worth-if you don't

refuse to serve persons, even in

BEST LIVER AND BOWEL LAXATIVE: FOR FAMILY USE "Cascarets" Regulate Women, Men and Children Without h.
 jury. Take When Bilious, Headachy, for Colds, Bad Breath, Sour
 Stomach.

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel, why don't you try Cascarcts handy in your home? Cascarets act on the liver and .thirty feet of bowel so gently you don't realize you have taken a cathartic, but they act thoroughly and can be depen- ded upon when a good liver and bowel cleansing is necessary-theym move the bile and poison from the bowels with out gripping and sweeten the stomach You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine, the headache, biliousness, bad breath, coat ed tongue, sour stomach, constipation, or bad cold disappears. Mothers should give cross, sick, feverish or bill ious children whole Cascaret any time--they are harmless and safe for the little folks.
