BINDS AMERICA
TO CAUSE OF WORLD LIBERTY
His ''Four-Minute'' Message Consecrates
Independence Day 20 Common Purpose
Of Many Peoples to Be Free.

to forego its aspirations or to de-
clare war in their defense.
I'VE find ourselves fighting again
Tor our national existence. We are
face to face with the necessity of
asserting anew the fundamental
right of free men to make their
own laws and choose their own
to become the victim Of a ruthless
ambition that is determined to de-
stroy what 1t cannot master.
Against its threat the liberty low
ing people Of the world have risen
and allied themselves. No fear has
deferred them. and no bribe Of ma
terial well-being has held them
back. They have made sacrifices
such as the world has never known
face Of death and suffering has
proved that the aim which ami
mates the German effort can never
hope to rule the spirit Of mankind.
World in Revolt.
Against the horror Of military
living in mere bodily contentment.
against the desolation of becoming
part Of a state that knows neither
truth nor honor. the world has so
revoIted that even people long
dominated and suppressed by force
have now, begun to stir and arm
themselves.
Centuries Of subjugation have
not destroyed the racial aspirations
Of the many distinct peoples OF
eastern Europe, nor have they ac-
cepted tho sordid ideals Of their
political and military masters.
They have survived the slow perse-
cutions Of peace as we'll as the
agonfes Of war. and now demand
recognition for their just claims to
autonomy and self-government.
"Representatives of these races
are with you today. voicing their
loyalty to our ideals and onering
their services in the common cause.
I ask you. fellow citizens. to unite
with them in making this our In
dependence day the first that shall
be consecrated to a declaration OF
independence for all the peoples OF
the world"

War Is Hideous

My breast is full of panics,
and sore distraut I am, for all
the good mechanics now work
for Uncle Sam. They've taken
all their wrenches and journeyed
to the. front, and somewhere
near the trenches they do their
loyal stunt. They fix the mar
tial lorry, repair the U. S.
truck, and I am sick and sorry,
and sadly cuss the luck. For
who will fix my motor, when
valves are out of lwhack, or
when the gas tanks floater is
ruptured up the back? The men
who piled the spanner with
more than human skill, have
gone, in warlike manner, to sew
up Kaiser Bill. Our village vet
is trying to heal our motor carts,
and tonics he's applying to all
their ailing parts. He views
the carburetor. and plies no
monkey wrench, but says, 1T
will be better when it has had a
drench." He says, Conditions
thermic some fever indicate; a
good strong hypodermic will
put your engine straight" My
troubles are titanic, my car has
ceased to chug, l yearn for a
mechanic who. does not use a
drug Ny soul is in the shadow,
my heart is stepped in woe; I've
found that c.. Sagrada won't

BAD BREATH
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
lutte for calomel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects. !.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night for
a week and note the effect. 10c and 25c
per box. All druggists.

Two Bits A Day Clubs

Out in Phoenix, Ariz., a movement
has been inaugurated for the formation
of 1.-TWO Bits Day" clubs, the mem
bers of which are to buy a quarters
worth of Thrift stamps every day.
Three men each took hundred Thrift
cards, pasted one stamp in each card,
and sold the entire lot before two
blocks had been covered.
1.-TWO bits is the old term, dating
back to the early days of the country,
for quarter of dollar, and is still
used in the south and west. Every
patriotic American now wants ito do
his Bit; the members of these clubs
are carrying out this idea finely in
doing their two bits" every day. 1t
is hoped that 1.-TWO Bits a Day" clubs
will be formed all over the country in
the great war-savings campaign.

CUTTING OUT CANDY
WOULD Save SUGAR
Enough Confectionery Used in the
United States to Keep
Europe Easily.

According to information reaching
the food administration the sugar used
In making candy in the United States
is sufficient to meet all the sugar re-
quirements of Great Britain under the
rationing standard adopted there.
If the people of the United States
would cut out candy the sugar so
saved would be more than sufficient
to meet all the sugar requirements of
France.
If one half the sugar used in the
making Of candy in this country in
1917 could have been saved, it would
have been sufficient to meet the sugar
requirements of Italy for year
under that country's present sugar
standard.
The money spent for candy in this
country the past year is nearly double
the amount of money needed to keep
Belgium supplied with food for year.
OF the total consumption Of the Unit
ed States about one-third goes into the
manufacture of various foodstuffs, in
Guiding confectionery, while the re-
mainder is consumed as sugar. The
amount Of sugar employed in the max
ing Of confectionery is variously esti-
mated from 10000 to 100000 tons
year.
The confectionery business Of the
country is about two-thirds as large
as the butter business, little less than
one-third as large as the wheat flour
business, slightly larger than the can
ming and preserving Of fruits and about
two-f1fths as large as the bakery busl-
ness.
