Do Not Fear When Fighting
 a German or a Germ!
By DIR. NJ. COOK.

The cool fighter always wins and so there is no need to become panic- stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex- ercise in the fresh air and practice the three c's: 4 Clean Mouth, a Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off the poisons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the influenza bacillus, take q good liver regulator 10 move the bowels. Such a one is made up of May-apple. leaves of aloe. root of jalap, and is to he had at any drug store, and called Pleasant Purgative Pellets.n
 If bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonade and take hot mustard foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm but well ven- tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug store "Anuric Tabletsp to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If true case of influ- enZa, the food should be simple, such as broths, milk, buttermilk and ice-cream; but it is important that food be given regularly in order to keep up patients strength and vitality. After the acute attack has passed which is generally from three 10 seven days. the system should be built up by the use of a good iron tonic, such as "Irontie" tablets, to be obtained at some drug stores. or that well known blood-maker and herbal tonic made from roots and barks of forest trees-sold everywhere as Dr. oierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

She had written all the expert stenographers who had ap- piled to her for advice that they should keep their jobs in Nebraska. That, in deed. the most patriotic thing that Ne braskans could do was te stay in Ne brask1 even though the government Was just crying for stenographers. She was coming back to raise q garden and a pig and that was the best thing for all of us to do. And at this time the entire country was placarded with advertisements begging women who were competent To apply at once to the civil service commission and urg- ing others to begin to study as the cler- ical force of the country was not suf- ficient to attend to war work.

Her war service consisted in keeping q number of very efficient workers away from Washington and they in turn no doubt kept others away.

ON TO BERLIN!
By HENRI CHAPELLE of the Vidilantes

Our boys lover there" write home as though they really expected to march on Berlin some day. Is this merely a delusion encouraged in them to keep them in heart for fighting? Perish the thought, Their slangy "can the kais- CT" expresses an intention as serious as that of the Crusaders and we ought not to dream of thwarting them by diplomatic action.
 Any talk of peace, by the way, re- calls the fact that such treaties must be based on confidence in the word of the parties involved, and that our gov ernment has expressed certain dis approval of trying to deal with q po- litical coterie that sees in treaties only "a scrap of paper" If it now met these same officials at conference table entering into any compact with them would at once acknowledge their honorable and legitimate standing as governmental representatives. How, after that, could this government en- courage the people of Germany to dis place them as unworthy and to estab- fish more democratic government? Im- possible!
 The only place where We can help democracy in Germany Is the field of battle We can there capture or kill the guilty individuals or by straight conquest of territory drive them to an unconditional surrender We could then hold them prisoners while we called for newly elected representa- tlves of the German people to treat with us for lasting peace. Our boys are simple and courageous enough to expect to do just that They are gal lant fighters enough te do it, if we back them by saving. "On to Berlin :"

Within ten minutes after an appli. cation of Danderine you can not find q single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks, use, when you see new hair, fine and doWny at first-yes-but really new hair-groWing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan derine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at q time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an in- comparable lustre, softness and luxu- riance.
 Get small bottle of Knewltons Danderine for few cents at any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Dan- derine.-Adv.

THE sun BEHIND THE CLOUD.

We have been reading about delays
in supplying machine guns rifles and
clothing and failures to let contracts
for ships until he country was getting
| the impression that nothing was being
done in the preparation Of our army
but the secretary OF war comes out in
self defense and admits that much has
not been done that ought 10 have been
done, but he would also have the couA-
try and Germany know that there has
also been much done so rapidly and
on so large a scale as TO astonish even
our European allies.
It Is true that the world never saw
so huge a project OF building construc-
ton as our thirty-two cantonments and
camps carried TO completion in three
months az an expenditure of sl34, 000,-
900, with an average profit 10 contract
ors OF 2.9s per cent.
The raising Of an army OF men from
a nucleus Of I2..5Ss regulars and
s044S national guardsmen TO l,53s.50S
was not so marvellous for the men were
available and were merely modified
upon command.
Il IS true, however. that for the most
part. they have been clothed and

same months among men OF the same
age when In civil life the year before.
Pneumonia has been epidemic and
there have been needless deaths but
no one need get the idea that the en-
tire army was dying from neglect.
The secretary admits that there have
been delays IN supply Of guns and HIS
excuse IS first that the ordnance de-
partment had 10 De expanded from g.
officers 20 1904 officers and 20 100 men
which tntroduced confusion Then he
asserts that the delay Is going 70 re-
suit n the highest possible type of
arms and that they will reach the men
long before there are ships enough to
take the men 10 France.
AS to this there Is Aerce debate.
Many army men insist that machine
guns, Dig guns. and rifles should have
been IN the hands Of the soldiers long
ago ard that had there been guns
enough there would have been more
men IN France. AS 10 this only time
will tell II Is probably true that de-
lay in building ships is our most ser
ious error, the most fatal !nefficiency,
and tnefficiency seems to stick out OF
| the war department In ITS most import
ant branches However the secretary's
defense is Of value in that the world
need not gain the impression that the
! United States is all failure, dismal,
| dark and discourasing.
