THRIFT STAMPS AND SAVINGS
CERTIFICATES BEING SOLD

Although the countrywide Organiza-
ton has not been perfected IOr the
sale OF IhrIrt Stamps and war SAVING
Stamps II CerJincaCes, the sale OF
these government documents as a
OF getting slnews OF war is be-
ing made IN Henderson county.
Literature has been distributed in
the mail boxes by the postal clerks
and rural carriers II although only a
few sales have been made by the car
riers, those at the HendersonvIiIe
pOstOfice are d little more encOuras-
ing.
IL is believed that there will be a ready

the county organized.

War Savings Stamps mark an epoch
in our national ife."1Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoO.
Many a successful business man has
said that the saving of his first dollar
was the most important single act o.
his life: that it marked the beginning
of a habit and a course of conduct to
which he attributed his success.
Something very analogous to this, it
is believed, is going to be the effect on
the American Nation of the Var Saw
ings campaign. Not only are millions
of individual citizens going to begin
to save, but this habit of economy and
saving is going to be a collective move
ment. a movement not of individuals
alone but of the Nation.
The habit of saving formed now has
a deeper incentive than ordinary. We
are saving now not alone for selfish
reasons, we are saving now from pa
friotiSm, saving not alone for ourselves
but for our country. The combination
of patriotism and thrift is, indeed, go
ing to make the Wa Savings cam
begin an epoch IN our national life.
It is not only going to be a thing of ire
mendOus benf1t to millions of citizens,
it is going to be a thing of tremendous
advantage to the nation as a whole,
and affect our whole national life, 1t
marks the beginning or a new era in
American life. an era Of economy, good
and patriotism.

COLDS ARE NOT NECESSARY
Avoid People With Colds. Also Over

AVOID EcOpAo WIN C0ldSs Also OVER

RrOm State Beard OF Health.)
Catching cold is easy but not neces-
sary. All you need TO do to get a cold
is to spend an hour or so in a close,
Oyerheated, badly ventilated room with
a person who already has a bad cold,' p
and you will soon begin to smile and
sneeZe. This means that close associ-
alton with a person who has a bad cold
is dangerous. Especially is this true,
If the person who has the cold is care
less in sneezing or coughing Sin the
lear presence of others without COW
ering the mouth or nose with a hand
kerchief.
everybody has noticed, no doubt,
that when n member of a family
comes down with a cold" all the
members of the family, in turn. will
also develop colds. When this hap
pens, and it usually does happen, it is
the result of carelessness in coming in
too close contact with the persons hav-
ing a cold, or in handling articles that
have been infected.
It is important that people who have
colds should refrain from close asso-
citation with other persons; that all
discharges form the nose and throat be
properly disposed of by washing and
boiling handkerchiefs. or if paper nap
lTns are used, by burning 1t is q wise
economy to use either cheesecloth or
ranor in place of ordinary linen band
chiefs, as they may be burned after
using and be thus disposed of in a
wav to prevent the spread Of infection.
When a cold seems to be unusually
severe and aggravated in character,
and as is sometimes said, "heavy on
the chest" the family doctor should be
called at once The line between a
cold Of this kind and an attack Of that
dread disease, pneumonia, is so hard
to distinguish that it is highly import
ant that medical advice ( should be
sought at once Most cases of \pneu-
mOnia start with q cold; and many
cases of dad colds with a cough"
The points that should be kept in
mind are that colds must not be neg
le"ted: that we should avoid the dan
oe~ Of Infection from careless and IN
necessary contact with those who have

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking q
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so Let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is If one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick. or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days i~ndigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sWeetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the SOU
lamentations, ! gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank OF the
subject of inside-bathing before break

PERU BUYS AMERICAN SHOES.
Markets in South American Country Controlled By T. s. Manufacturers.

r. Washington Jan. 15.-American shoe manufacturers now control the market in Peru and in all proba bi1ity will continue to do so after the war; says a report on the subject issued today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic commerce, department of commerce.
 Peru has just emerged from a period of prolonged economic depression and is now reaping the benefit of the era of high prices in the metal and food products brought on by the war. Every branch of the agricultural and mining industries has been corres- pOndingly benefited and in this con- nection it is interesting to note that in 1 915 the value of the agricultural products exported was more than S43,- 100000 or nearly 27 per cent. greater than the value of the mineral pro- ducts exported. The production of sugar has increased enormously.
 The present prosperity will increase Peru's importance as a market for American goods, for shoes as we'll as other products, says Special Agent Herman C.. Brock, author of the gov- ernment's report. It is a market  tention as our own war needs will permit. Our indebtedness for such essential products as copper and sugar should be paid at least in part by manufactured goods needed in Peru, and it is the part of wisdom to so conduct our present business as to leave us in an advantageous position when the war is over
 A careful analysis of the boot and shoe business of Peru is made in the report which is published under the title Market for Boots and Shoes in Peru, Special Agents Series No. 152. Copies are sold at tEa nominal price of 15 cents by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing of flee, Washington, D. C., and by the district cooperative offices of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic commerce.

ALMOST BEAT LETTER HOME
Clifford Hellberg Back in States Only Short Time After Missivc Mailed in December Arrives.

Clifford Hellberg, son of Policeman and Mrs. Gustave Hellberg of 130 Lincoln street, is back from France for which he sailed from New York some time during the month of November. This is his first trip and on his return he telephoned home to his parents to tell them of his safe arrival. He had landed in New York some time during the day and wanted to let them know of it as soon as possible. A rather queer CO., incidence in connection with bis re- turn was the fact that yesterday morning a letter he had sent home after being only one day in France, and mailed by him on -Decem Der Il, was received ,and just a few hours after the first message came they re- ceived the second one in which he informed them of his arrival back in the states
 Hellberg was member of the naval reserve and got a call to report only a few months ago. In Novem Der he sailed with a transport carrying soldiers to the battlef1elds of France leaving an Atlantic port. The trans port arrived in France on Decem Der 10, after an exciting trip in which they were chased by a, German sub marine for two days. The return trip was made without any interfer- ence from any subs.
 The transport on which he sailed was formerly owned by a German line and was taken over by the gov ernment at the outbreak of the war. It was rebuilt for transport service at a great cost. Fine weather was en- joyed by the young sailor on both trips and he was seasick only four days. The letter sent by Hellberg to his folks reached Virginia January 2 and passed through the hands of a censor and was stalled there until a few days ago.

CAILLAUX ARRESTED
 IN PARIS AS TRAITOR
(ContinNed from First Page)

for which M. Caillaux had been re- preached.
 The arrest was decided upon Sun day afternoon. The warrant was placed in CommissaTy PrloletS hands at o'clock in the evening, and after ward a careful watch was naaln- tained all night over Caillaux's house.
 The news of the arrest created a. sensation. Approximately large numbers of the Paris afternoon news papers containing the annoucement of the arrest were sold, although the newsboys, who are prohibited by law from shouting out the news, were able only to display the headlines of the newspapers to passers by.
 The Temps says the arrest of Gail IauX was due to the documents re- gently produced against him before the Investigating Judge. It says there also is report concerning a document which soon may be pub lshed in the foreign press. This doc ument is understood to have placed Captain Bouchardon in the same po- sition as when, on the receipt of American dispatches, he decided to order the arrest of Bolo Pacha-
 It is recalled that at the trial of Mme. Caillaux- for killing Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, Cail- lahx testified that he had inherited 100000 francs and added that he could establish the fact that his for tune had not increased at the time of the trial.
 La Verite, new evening paper which is favorable to Caillaux, says that some new piece of evidence must have been found, as Caillaux had been at liberty since his Parlia- mentary immunity was suspended.
