RABBITS FOOT IS
.AWATOR'S CHARM

After passing, through seventeen
air mishaps without serious injury.
Lieut. D. F. Duke, OF 1723. -Coreoran
street northwest. stationed now at the
Mineola flying Geld, is a professed
convert to the superstition Of carry
ing a rabbits foot for safety from
harm. which has many followers
among. aviators.
His mother, Mrs. Mary L. Duke, of
the above address, Is convinced that
some charm must be guiding the des-
TIMES OF her aviator Son. On a recent
visit home Lieutenant Duke confided
that he had been in seventeen smash
ups without injury to himself. In the
last accident the aviator riding with
him was killed instantly. Lieutenant
Duke was unseathed.
Lieutenant Duke had orders to go
overseas few days before the armis-
tice was signed.

THE EXERCISE CURE
BY II. Addington Bruce


N/OU have been in low spirits for some time.
You have been worrying about trhes.
You are unable to sleep. Everything irri-
tates you.
But your doctor tells you that nothing is the
matter with you. He assures you that every Or
gan i'll your body is sound. stop fussng about
yourself" says your doctor.
| would add word of advice to his. If you
really want to free yourself from absurd and
needless depression | would say:
Take exercise
An acquaintance of mine, Boston banker
once found himself in the position you now
in. He could not sleep, he could not concentrate
his thoughts.
you need change" his doctor told him
You had better take long vacation"
The banker took long vacation. For three
years he journeyed from place to place in search
of health. Mostly he journeyed by train or
steamship. Otherwise he journeyed by automo-
bile. He never thought of walking anywhere.
Finally. nervous wreck, he went to sana-
torium For week the specialist in charge of
the sanatorium observed him closely. Then he
put in his hand.
you see the dead trees in this orchard?"
said he. 81 wish you would chop them down"
But" protested the banker, 81 cannot do it.
! shall die if try to do it. My heart is too
''Your heart is all right" said the specialist.
Chop"
Three months later the banker went back to
work. The trees had all been cleared out of the
orchard-and the depression out of his mind
The exercise cure will probably prove as bene-
fetal to you as it did to him. Nor do you have
to chop down trees to get full benefit from 1t.
Golf viii answer your purpose, or horseback
riding, that simplest of all forms of exercise.
walking.
Through exercise of some sort you will set
your blood circulating freely. Impurities
will be driven out of your system. Your lungs
will send amble supply of we'll oxygenated
blood to your brain.
The stronger you become physically the sound
you will think Life will seem less slate-color-
ed AS DR.. Caleb W. Saleeby once remarked:
THE who is physically in good condition
has organic bias toward optimism"
But nervous patients are not the only ones
who advantageously take the exercise cure.
Much dyspepsia is due to nothing but too
sedentary a life. Exercise will cure it.
So, likewise, many people suffer from head
aches due solely to persistent indoor life, life
of mental activity with physical activity.
One hour day of outdoor exercise may be
enough to bring relief to them. Any form of eX-
ercse win do, though the form that happens to be
personally most pleasurable is always to be pre-
ferTed.
Never, though should the exercise cure be
adopted too strenuously for too long at a time.
Just as it is possible to overdrug for health, so is
it possible to overexercise. Let your physician
guide you.

What Girls Can Do to Win the War
RN DIR Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
Girls can do almost anything boys do, to
help along. And other things
For instance, you can save your money and buy
War Stamps
Speak to the other girls in your room at school,
in your club, or Sunday school class, or any
other group or organization you belong to. Urge
them to form War Stamp club. Get every one
to agree to buy at least War Stamp at the
postoffice. Start the movement. If any girl can
not raise the % cents, see that she is helped.
Make yourself War Stamp missionary, even
a War Stamp nuisance, if necessary You can do
that much for your country. See that father and
mother and your aunts and uncles and your big
sisters beau all buy War Stamps.
BY so doing you will be actually doing vau-
able service for Uncle Sam
Learn all the words of THE Star-Spangled
Banner" and My Country, 'Tis of Thee and sing
out loud whenever these songs are rendered.
Ask your teacher to get for you the rules gov
erning the American flag how it should be saluted
how displayed, etc.
Save tinfon and give 1t to the nearest Red
Cross society.
Save food. Eat corn bread and rye bread in
stead of wheat bread. Don't eat beef or pork
Eat chicken, oysters, and fish, if you must have
meat. better way would be to eat no meat at
all. You don't need it.
Quit eating candy entirely. 1t does you no
good and every bit of sugar you save helps fur
nish sweets to the soldiers, who do need it,
Make some kind of sacrifice that hurts. That
is what counts.
on each one and give it to the postman; the post
office will see that it goes to the soldiers.
BUY Smileage Books. Find out from the Y. NJ.
c. A. SECRETARY what they are.
Knit and make bandages for the Red Cross.
Make trench candles, needle and thread cards.
pads, and comfort kits
Help in the garden. Get your crowd of girls
to take some vacant lots in the spring and raise
vegetables. Don't let any one persuade you that
this does not amount to anything. The vege-
tables you raise. the meat will be spared to
feed our soldiers and allies.
Learn the reasons why are at war.
When you grow up you will be voter, very
probably as by that time it is to be hoped women
can vote anywhere in the United States. Study
your American history, and read all you can about
Washington and Lincoln.
Don't complain be cheerful, endure hardship
with smile, for the happiness you spread
and the more gloom you dispel, the more you
help all
Above ALL do not be bitter or ugly toward any
girls among your acquaintance or at school whose
parents German Austrian. Try to get them
to see that they Americans, and that
America is trying to set the German people free
from the evil rulers who have brought them into
such misery and disgrace.
Be sweet brave, intelligent little women.

GEORGIA S Fo9d PLEDGE.

Georgias interest in the production and con-
seryation of food an aid to winning the war
was srikingly attested by the conference of agri-
cultural and business leaders, which was held
Wednesday at Macon, a gathering of some three
thousand citizens representing almost every county
in the State. The meeting had the clear-cut earn
estness of a war council, and so in truth it 1t
uppermost in the nations heart if it had been con-
cerned with the production of guns the manning
of battleships.
Food now means ammunition; it means fight
ing strength to our soldiers; it means endurance
power to Allies; it means victory over the
Huns. There is little or no apprehension that the
Allied lines the Western front will not hold
against the expected German offensive, but there
is serious anxiety lest the Allied food give
out before German resistance can be smashed. 1t
is for America those fears at rest and to put
end TO the dangers behind them.
As of the great agricultural States of the
Union, Georgia has a peculiarly important part to
fill in this war-winning labor. As far as natural
resources are concerned there is hardly limit to
its food-producing capacity But the decisive fac
tor will be the attitude and spirit of its people,
particularly its farmers. Once aroused to the
emergency of the time and to their duty pa
triots they will raise food crops the like which
the fertile South never saw in the most fruitful
seasons of the past. That they are awake to their
duty, the Macon conference gratifyingly showed.
That they will grow continually more earnest of
purpose and will receive the united support of the
public is the wish and purpose of every patriotic
Georgian.

Var RatiOnS and Health.

The food regulations adopted by the Govern
ment as measures, far from imposing any
hardship, will make for health, efficiency and hap
piness. Victory bread is more wholesome and
more nutritious than that made of the devitazed
wheat -four on which most Americans have been
feeding. Because it furnishes more of the ele-
ments of which nerves and teeth are built the war
bread is particularly to be welcomed.
The reduction of the amount of meat. in the
average diet is another step for health and eff
cheney as we'll for winning the war. "As far
its food value is concerned" writes an author
ity, meat cannot compare with grains legumes
and nuts; pound of peas, beans, corn, barley
rice rye is equal in nutrtive value to three
pounds of the best porterhouse steak"
We of this country reduce our consump-
ton of fats and sugar far beyond what the Gov
eminent asks and still be extravagant as com
pared with other nations. The per capita con-
sumption of fats in the United States is seventy
four pounds annually; in Japan it is eighteen in
Germany it twenty-four pounds prior to the
war and is probably less than half that Com
menting on this fact, DR.. D. H. Kress of Washing
ton, an authority on dietetics, writes in the Sun
day School Times: I'VE can safely cut down the
fat consumption of this country to twenty-five
pounds per capita"
Likewise Americans have been consuming from
two to eight times much sugar other peoples
The appeal for economy in this item certainly can
be many times over without an approach to dep
rivation.
The fact is, the measures of economy which
asked to observe means of conserving
the food supply for war needs are nothing more
than what anyone who sought competent counsel
on matters of eating would be advised to adopt.

1.-The people of the State of Wisconsin al

We condemn Senator Robert NJ La Toilette
and all others who have failed TO the right

to support government in matters vital to
the winning of the war. And we denounce
any attitude utterance of theirs which has
tended incite sedition among the people
of country and to injure Wisconsins fair
name before the free peoples of the earth
That is the voice of Americanism pure and I'M
defiled 1t is declaration of faith from the very
seat where unfaithfulness considered itself most
potent. 1t is handwriting upon the wall for all
politicians who have failed to support our Gov

considered Wisconsin pro-German rather than pro-
American, or if he had not believed the people of
that State unwilling to meet the obligations and
make the sacrifices which loyalty demanded. But
there is stupidity like that of the smart poll
tcian in the face of a truly great and vital issue
The demagogue may guess right nine times out of
ten, but the tenth and fatal question generally
confronts him soon late When it does he be-

with the complete destruction by fire of its thirty
ing business section early in January every avail
able fre-fghting force at hand and from nearby
towns called into the battle. At the height of
the fire the enlisted men of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and in the harbor
were called to help not only in subduing the
flames. but controlling the crowds. To a man they
gave a splendid account of themselves. Among
these men was John Joseph Mclaughlin chief
boatswain's mate Although he had worked all
night. had narrow escapes and was dTenched to the

YANKEE GOODS
REPLACE HUN
MAKE IN CHILE

Washington, July 21-(Special-Of
all the countries on the west coast Of
South America. Chile offers the best
opportunity for the immediate sale OF
electrical goods, and the prospects for
the future are bright. Germany dom
mated the market before the war, but
according to a report issued today by
the Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department Of Commerce,
American goods have recently made
big gains. German goods had entered
the market in the wake of German
capital.
Chile is a country where the natural
resources and the will of the people
make for progressive development
along industrial and manufacturing
lines, which means a steadily growing
demand for power. Special Agent,
Philip S. Smith. author of the Govern
ment's report, asserts that this should
and will be furnished by Harvesting the
many waterfalls of the Cordiilera of
the Andes to electric generators and
sending the current to all parts of the
central sections of the Republic.
One OF the things that should not be
overlooked in contemplating Chile as a
future commercial field Is the oppor-
tunity of uniting a safe investment
with a profitable business. If advan-
tage is taken of this situation the re-
lations already existing between the
two countries can be strengthened to
their mutual profit.
The report analyses every phase of
the electrical-goods business in both
Chile and Bolivia and is designed to
assist American firms in their efforts
to build up and maintain business with
the two countries. Under the title
Electrical Goods in Bolivia and Chile"
