Lame every morning, achy and stiff

try the remedy your neighbors use.

sharp pain went through me. My

SANDERS is THE CHOICE.
Merits Reelection on Excellent Rec.
ord, Says Hammond Editor.

Congressman Jared Young Sanders
| is candidate for the Democratic
| nomination for reelection.
He is one of the most valuable
members of the lower branch of con-
gress.
He is loyal to the president with
out being subservient. He is the
type of man the president likes to
consult on far-reaching issues that
touch the welfare of nation.
During his term in congress he
has established himself as one of the
clear, profound thinkers and students,
and ranks among the ablest members
on either side of the great legislative
body.
Congressman Sanders has been in
thorough accord and in thorough sym
pathy with the presidents aims
and purposes since he has been in
congress. He is now asking the neo-
pie of the sixth congressional district
to re-elect him for another term. He
is relying upon the patriotism, the
fairness and justice Of the sixth dis
trict voter.
Congressman Sanders will have op-
position, but whatever opposition is
manifested will come of the inordi-s
nate vanity and individual ambition
of those who seek the place for their
own aggrandizement 1t will foster
little support from the people.
Real, patriotic Democrats, real
sympathizers of the administration of
our great president, real servitors OF
our nation in its stupendous task, will
support those servants Of the people
whose loyalty is unquestioned and
whose record in congress presages the
good will and support of right think
ing Democrts. Congressman San
ders is identified with this set.
Surely, we voice the sentiment OF
the people of this district when we
say this is no time to swap horses or
to send green man to congress-

WHY THE S VIM PLEDGE
Reasons Back off rnment' ne

Reasons Back of n,n.,ent' ! Re.
slnest fer ans Thrift
During the present intensiiYe wal
savings campaign we are asked by
the president and by Secretary Me.
Adoo to pledge ourselves To save and
with our savings to buy at definite
times specific amount Of war saw
ings stamps Why should we be call
ed upon to do this and why should
we do it?
We are called upon to do it be
cause, as President Wilson says, this
is, a war of nations, not OF armies,
and everyone in the. land must do his
share. So far more than 1000, ,000
men have gone into the army and
navy and 1,O0O,0O0 more are to join
before August These {, 600, 600
men give themselves as their dona-
tion to the war. The remaining 97,-
100000 people left at home must
give something else as their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
at-homes an opportunity for service.
We are asked to pledge ourselves to
save and economize, to use labor and
materials only as necessity demands,
and to invest our savings in war saw
ings stamps.
The government asks us to do this
because the amount of labor and ma
terials in the country is limited; there
is not enough of either to permit US
to use it in the same free way as we
did in peace times and at the same
time to leave enough in the markets
for the use of the government. It IS
purely question Of supply and de-
mand. If we use the supply the gov
ernment does not have it for war
needs. And the smaller the amount
the government has for use the long
er will the war last. That is the
primary reason for the savings cam
paign. .=5s
But there is another side to the
question. The government asks US
to pledge ourselves to save to help
win the war. It does not ask US to
give it anything except our co-opera-
tion. In return for our help we re-
ceive a government security when
pays us good rate of interest.
If we do as the government asks,
and as we should, this, then, will be
the result: ~ We shall buy only
those things necessary to maintain us
in the best of health and spirits; t2)
by refraining from buying unneces-
sary things we shall leave in the mar
kets for government use greater
supply of labor and material with With
which to win quicker victory; fs1=
by not frittering our money away on
things that do not make for efficiency
we shall keep ourselves in better
health and increase our powers OF
production; al by investing our saw
ings in war savings stamps we shall
be be putting aside for those days which
inevitably come, if we live long
enough, the means to greater happi-
ness.
When so much can.be accomplish
ed by joining in this war savings CAM
paign, why should we not do it?

not sell any cotton until the commits

r. Broussard, has opened campaign

Alexandria. William E. Krebs, a

Democratic state primary will be
held, increasing activity will be re-
quired to inform the voters OF the IS

Great Progress in Human Salvage

As a result of the studies at the
front. methods have been developed
whereby more than so per cent OF
the wounded, who originally remain

months. are now cured and return

weeks. In order that army surgeons
stationed at camps, cantonments, ana
other military hospitals in this eoun-

latest treatment of war wounds, the
army medical department has had
established special classes of instruc-
tion to which are sent selected officers
who, upon completion OF their
courses, return to their own hospitals

the entire piece combined air of

convincing thoroughness of detail,
and romance in, its impressively pic
turesaue interiors and bits of scenery
both suggestive and inspiring. This
treatment stamps upon the memory
all that is strong in the drama, and

It had been the intention Of Mac

by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for q long tramp. He was in
a stress Of furious emotion, and until
he had worked OF the edge Of it by
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza-
ton Of the town stifled him.
Hours later he strode into the Office
Of the company. Wally lay asleep in
a swivel chair, his fat body sagging
and his head fallen sideways in such a
way as to emphasize the plump folds
Of his double chin. His eyes opened.
They took in his chief s1owiy. Then,
