CITIES TO FURNISH
MAJORITY OF LABOR
Employers Throughout State Urged to
Make REIMBURSEMENT and Provide
Required Quota.

Herbert G. Carter, director for vir-
ginia, in the matter of skilled and un-
skilled labor. referring to the task
assigned TO the people of the state in
the furnishing of their quota of men
for the various government activities,
says:
The quota assigned to Virginia is
$3.50. roughly, one man for every 400
OF the population. AS 1t is not de-
sired to interfere with farm work.
the proportion to be recruited will
be greater than this in most of the
towns and cities, and smaller in the
rural districts. The division of the
quota among the different communi-
ties rests with the state director of
the public service reserve.
I'VE must not shirk the task of
providing this labor. Retail trade.
domestic service and many branches
of manufacture must all do their
share in releasing men for war work.
This can be done voluntarily now, but
the wide powers of the government
may result in compulsion If we do not
quickly find the way of doing it for
ourselves.
The United States has undertaken
a colossal task. The shipbuilding pro-
gram is by itself sufficient to put a
strain on our resources. We are TO
have an army of 100000 men. and
this army must have munitions of
every kind in the greatest abundance.
We must provide food, not only for
this great army. but for millions of
Europes population besides
In order to accomplish all this, we
shall be obliged to make radical
changes in our way OF living. The
draft age will be extended, proba bly,
TO between eighteen and forty-five.
and this draft. like the earlier one,

and other necessary lines of work
The work or fight order, when
applied to all men between eighteen
and fortyfive. will help the situation
by putting stop to most OF the idling
OF which we have had to complain
among certain sections of the popula-
ton. But even making allowance for
this We shall be forced to make very
real sacrifices.
Il appeal to business men and en-
ployers throughout the state to make
their arrangements promptly SO that
We may provide the quota of 4,590
men without delay.
We must remember that by maxi
ing a supreme effort for the next few
months We may save ourselves from
years Of sacrifice and misery.

it is good news to tell you that
tens of thousands are now using
EATONIC-for all stomach and
bowel ailments caused by toe
much acidity with such truly won.
derful results that every one
should always have it in the house.
EATONIC Tablets stop the cause OF
indigestive and dyspeptic ailments by
neutrahzing the poisonous fluids, acids
and gases largely the result of super.
acidity. This makes the stomach
pain-free and ready to perform its
proper work.
You can have good appetite in hot
weather to eat the things YOU like
when you want them if YOU take one
or two EATONIC Tablets after each
meal. Such quick, wonderful relief
would seem unbelievable but for the
fact that thousands of sufferers everv-
where have received marvellous results
from EAT0NIC. Obtain large box
of EATONIC Tablets from your own
druggist who yor know and can trust.
II they fail, go back to him and he will
gladly refund your money. Do this
today. You will then know what rea.

We found from the figures furnished
bv the provost marshal general that
we could embark on program OF

These divisions consist Of roughly
40 900 men TO a division. After pro-

eighteen and twenty are usually not

adopted this as a policy and 1t is the
policy of the United States that the
military program is to be centered in

If the ages are changed to eighteen

eniistments in the United States army
disappears.

ITO THEM THAT HATH"

Edith was sewing patch on the
knee of small Jacks stocking and fig
uring at the same time how to pare
down expenses somewhere SO as to
buy a new rug for the living room.
She had to set the morris chair at an
absurd angle now to cover up the
hole in the present floor covering
those cheap grass mats do wear out so
once they start. Since she had used
rice to replace potatoes rice had risen
in cost. Perhaps beans were cheaper;
she must try and see If John would
eat dried lima beans. AS for bacon,
what crime! Well. she was saving
a little by buying butterine, anyhow,
and John hadn't kicked much. Next
time she bought shoes for the children
she was going to try that composition
stuff that they're using now instead of
sole leather Perhaps, with the rigid
cutting out of eggs and cream for a
few weeks, and using more macaroni
and cheese, she could manage the new
rug
Into her reverie of economics broke
the light voice of Fay Summers.
I've come to invite you to my en-
gagement luncheon" breezed the girl
as she spread her chiffon skirts dainti-
ly in the nearest chair.
Edith drew long breath as she
dragged her mind from her household
problems and glanced up at the ex-
ternally lovely young spendthrift be-
fore her. Edith never looked upon
Fay Summers without experiencing a
vague feeling of resentment. Fay was
the sort of girl who seemed created
for the specific purpose of setting at
naught all the moral axioms in the
world
Fay never did to others as she liked
others to do to her. Yet the others
were always doing for Fay. She was
not meek-far from it-yet she was
always inheriting the earth. She con-
sidered it more blessed to receive than
to give. She judged harshly, yet she
was no more harshly judged than the
average person. Virtuous people went
unrewarded while Fay got all sorts of
undeserved happiness. She was one
of those who, having much, were al
ways receiving added benefits, while
others who had little, lost even that.

Much of this having passed through
Edith Ferrol's mind in fash, she
replied to Fay's announcement of the
engagement luncheon by monosy.la-
bic Yves? When?"
We'll. think the puppies will be
old enough by week from Saturday
was Fay's puzzling rejoinder.
"Puppies?"
Eyes. I'm going to have twelve
brindle bull puppies for the souvenirs.
Isn't it cute idea? I've ordered them
from the Cosmo Kennels"
Edith's eyes widened in amazement
She put down her mending and gazed
searchingly at the girl her brother
was going to marry.
''You don't mean" she began in
protest, but Fay cut in.
"Oh, now, don't begin to preach
economy. You know detest economy!
The dogs will cost twenty-five apiece
and they're cheap as dirt at that. But
they're all arranged for. What's both
ering me is where can get some good

Edith bit back the sharp answer
she longed to make. She knew Fay
was detailing her plans largely in a
spirit of mischief. 1t amused her to
clash with Edith on questions of prop
er spending.
"No, | don't know where your sup
plies can be bought, Fay" she ans.
wered quietly. But l should think
that even if you don't mind laying this

You would hate to spend hundreds OF
dollars in such a way when the whole

Fay mockingly. How can / help it
