ficulties of Ill health are not insur'
mountable.
Opportunities for the incipient hero
to break from the ranks come to the
few but the individual with the
handicap of disease always has
chance to combat with fate and win
victories. 1t is the claim of some
that the invalid having the will can
fix his mind upon some noble work,
as in the case of Kant, and conquer
ing his malady, live above the sensa-
ton of pain.
Whatever gives new courage to the
Respondent, renews confidence in the
disappointed, stimulates the careless
and puts new energy in the indolent,
serves a good purpose.

HELP YOURSELF STORE
IS PROVING POPULAR

The opening of the Help Yourself
Shoe Store" on the clerkless, Cafe
terra style, by Mr.. Straw, met with
popular public approval from the time
the doors were opened Saturday morn

That the plan will prove success
full is evidenced by the large number
taking advantage of it and everybody
commenting upon the good quality
and low prices.
Saturday night it would have taken
a dozen clerks to have handled the
crowd in the regular way but all GUS

and being their own statesmen as we'll

A CHAIN LETTER OF
WHICH WE APPROVE

The Telegram doesn't generally ap-
prove of "chain letters" but II re-
ceived one this morning which is all
right in every particular and should
be given widespread circulation. It
says:
"German Propaganda"
1.-THE false rumors and malicious
stories constantly being circulated as
facts, discrediting our high officials,
the Red Cross, the care and conduct
of our troops, the conditions of our
environments, is German propaganda
Intended to create distrust and dis
content among our people and TO dis
courage those working for our coun-
try.
"These stories are accepted as news
and unfortunately are being given the
widest circulation by patriotic Amer
leans who do not realize that they are
diulHB tnelT enemies.
"The espionage act provides pun
ishment for those who convey anv
false reports or statements concern
ing our government. Those who are
fighting for us deserve the fullest
measure of our loyalty and support,
both in word and deed.
I'VE have resolved to close our ears
to all such stories and discourage
their circulation viii you do the
same?
Every loyal citizen should assist
in stopping these malignant lies, so
enlist your friends by mailing today
six or more exact copies of this letter
Do not break the chain.
