WORK, SAVE, FIGHT.


These are the three cardinal re-
quisites of the present condition OF
world menace They are the sur
mounting beatitudes Of our chaotic
times. We will ignore them only at
our peril We will shirk them only
at an overwhelming cost. We must do
not only one, but all to win. And win
we must.
To lose this conflict with the kaiser's
hosts; to bend the knee in submission
to the will of the Prussian autoCracy;
to accept peace terms dictated by the
war lords of Germany, would be to
trail in the dust the highest hopes
OF Democracy. 1t would mark the
Waterloo of Liberty. 1t might spell
the end.
America wants no autocratic dOnl'
inatiOn at this late day. The United
States has led the way in world en-
lightenment and the sowing of the
seeds of freedom too long ever to sub
nit to tyranny. And German victory
would mean that.
our respective lines that the normal
production may be maintained and our
material needs may be met fully and
promptly.
We must save. economize, curtail
that home consumption may be re-
duced and our individual resources be
kept to their normal standard.
For in doing both we will have more
to offer our government, directly and
indirectly; through personal sacrifice
and investment in war securities.
And we can trust our boys at the
front to do their share of the fighting;
the spirit of freedom will inspire to
that.
Work, save, fight and WIN.
That's our program.

A worlds business will be in
" terfered with on PSI days
during 1918. In other
words, there will be only 81 days in
this coming year that are not Sun
days or special holidays in one or
more important commercial regions
of the earth. Nor is this an unusual
condition created by the war. We
are accustomed to jump remarkable
conditions into the category of war
evils these days. On the contrary,
some of the fighting nations have for
the time being stripped their decks of
minor and unusually supertluous holi-
days.
Ever since man was condemned to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow he has been putting in lot of
spare time trumping up methods of
beating the game. Next to working
into the bOSS's job the invention Of the
holiday has been one of his ablest
little achievements in this line. Like
wise ever since bosses and holidays
evolved, along about hiStOrys sun
rise, the former have been curSing
the latter as troublesome breaks in
the years work BY the Middle Ages
holidays had become so numerous
that they seriously interfered with
Industrial pursuits. A valuable re-
suit of the Reformation not generally
appreciated was the abolition of Il
large portion of these holidays.
But as time went on political
and religious milestOnes accumulated
again. Today, while the years over
load in any one country is by no
means as serious as in the Middle
Ages, the growth of international
finance has made the worlds aggre.
gate of closed days serious factor
and an expensive one. Not until now
however, has any attempt been made
TO compile an exhaustive list of hOIi
days for the guidance of bankers and
mel chants This tPek has just been
completed by the Guaranty Trust
Company of New FORK city. The re-
suits have been published in q book
let that should be valuable addition
to the reference library of every bank
in the country doing more than a pure
ly local business.

Better THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a aHarnless Substitute.

Or. Edwards Olive Tablets-the suhsti.
tute for calomel- are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination MOTTO treat
liver and bowel complaints with calonel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
CaIomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take caIomeI, but TO let Dr. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. .r
Most headaches, ''dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver Take DR.. Edwards

heavy" Note how they Clear clouded
