CURTAILING BOND ISSUES

An inevitable result of such heavy
borrowing by the gooernment as has
been made necessary by the tremend-
our war program is the proposed gov
ernment regulation of issues Of pri-
yate securities and the suppression
OF all such issues as are not absolute
ly essential to the condHct of the war.
Legislation to this effect is now be-
ing drafted by administration officials
and congressional experts. which
would authorize the treasury to Ii
cense each individual security issue
or to refuse such license where the
issuing industry is not regarded as
essential.
Officials declare, and it seems
plausible, that unless such action ia
taken before the third Liberty Loan
is offered the government will find
on the market. in competition with
Liberty bonds, mass of private ie-
sues of stocks and bonds, many of
them paying higher rates of interest
and therefore more attractive to cas-
ual small investors. Such q condi.
ton would, of course, be detrimental
to both government and private f.
nanclng, since many issues of stock
in non, essential industries would
prove most attractive and would
withdraw much needed money from
essential industries and government
issues.
AS prelimary step to such regu-
latlon of private securities issues
President Wison is expected shortly
to Issue proclamation calling on
governors and legislatures of all
states and county, city and other To-
cal officials to cease making expendi
lures on public improvements not
absolutely necessary and to refuse
building or other permits to private
construction not contributing direct
ly to the prosecution of the war.
This is, indeed, drastic action and
to casual inspection, inconceivable as
necessary to the successful financing
of the war, but undoubtedly the
financial advisors of the government,
with information beyond that of the
general public, have considered the
matter carefully before arriving at
such conclusions.
Undeniably there are many private
stock and bond issues being floated at
present that are unnecessary, just as
there are many private and public
improvements being planned which
will not materially aid in winning
the war. These could be readily
withheld until after the war and, as
patriotic act ought to be.

BILLY SUNDAYS
PRAYER IN HOUSE

Rev. Billy Sunday, who is conduct
ing big revival in Washington, de-
livered the prayer in the House of
Representatives on January 10, which
follows
Almighty God, our heavenly Faith
er. we thank Thee and rejoice that
through faith in Thee and Thy word
this government was built upon that
foundation, We thank Thee that the
compact signed in the cabin of the
Mayfiower by our ancestors was for
democracy, liberty, freedom and the
right to worship Thee according to
the dictates of our own conscience.
We thank Thee that as nation
we have the courage TO proclaim to
the world our continued belief in
Thee, stamping on our coins the in
scription, In God We Trust We
thank Thee that as q nation we have
never gone to bed hungry nor scrap
ed the bottom of our flour barrel, and
we pray Thy continued mercy and
blessings upon us.
Thou knowest, o Lord, that we
are in a life aud death struggle with
one of the most infamous, vile, crazy,
aVaricious nations that has ever dis
graced the pages of history. Thou
knowest that Germany has drawn
from the eyes of mankind enough
tears to make another sea; that she
has drawn blood enough to redden
every wave of that sea; that she has
drawn enough groans and shrleks
from the hearts of men, women and
children to make another mountain.
We pray Thee that Thou wilt bare
Thy Mighty arm and smite the hun
cry Wollish Huns, whose fangs drip
with blood and gore. We pray Thee
that The stars in their courses and the
winds and the waves may fight
against them.
1--WE pray Thee that Thou wilt
bless our beloved President and give
him strength of mind and body anC
courage of heart for his ardnous dut
les in these sorrow laden, staggering
days. We pray Thee to bless TIL. Sec.
retaFy of State, the Secretary of Wal
and the Secretary OF the Navy -ant
bless, we pray Thee, the Naval STRAIT

Bless, we pray Thee. Lord, th,
General at the head Of our party
Bless the boys across the sea, some
where in France, and bless those pro
teeting our transports, loaded to tht
waters edge with men and muni
tions. Bless our boys at home who
are in the cantonments.
Bless, we pray Thee, the Senate
and the House OF Representatives
and give them wisdom and strength
for they seem to have come into
kingdom for such time as this. And
Lord, may every man. woman anc
child from Maine to California, anc
Minnesota to Louisiana stand up te
the last ditch and be glad and willing
to suffer and endure until final vic,
tory shall come.
BLESS our Allies and may victory
be ours.
and in Your own time, ard in
Your own way, we pray Thee chat
Thou wilt release the White winged
Dove of Peace until it shall dispel
the storm clouds that hang lowering
over this sin-cursed, blood soaked d
and sorrowing world, and when it is
all over we will uncover our heads
aud lift our faces to the heavens and
sing with new meaning, My Coun-
try, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of
Liberty, Of Thee Sing
And the praise shall be to Thee
forever, through JesusChrist. Amen"

Then came Genera and Gold, one of
the best known teams in the annals of

real class, too. Miss Colds gowns

TRACE DISEASE
TO CONSTIPATION

One of the points on which diff
ferent schools of medicine prac-
tically agree is, that about 95 per
cent. of all human disease is di-
rectly traceable to intestinal put
refaction of stomach waste due to
inactivity of the bowels, or consti-
patton. The eliminative process is
an essential factor in digestion and
on it's proper functioning depends
the welfare of the entire system.
Constipation is a condition that
should never be neglected. AS
soon as the bowels evidence the
slightest disposition to slow up, a
mild laxative should be taken.
The combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin, known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
sold in drug stores for fifty cents
a bottle, is highly recommended as
a corrective, acting gently, in an
easy, natural way, without gripping
or other pain or discomfort. A
trial bottle of this excellent fam
lily remedy can be obtained, free of
charge, by writing to DR.. w. B.
