What Am I Doing?

Ask yourself this question: What
am doing toward helping my country
win the war;" If you are not doing
something don't you think you are a
very lukewarm American?
The Government doesn't ask very
much of you. 1t merely asks you to
do without unnecessary things and in
vest your money saved thereby in Sc
curities. You can buy War Savings
Stamps and assist the nation.
Remember that every time you buy
War Savings Stamp, which is re-
deemable in gold in 1928, you are firing
a shot at Berlin.

Not a ChiId's Movement.

The War Savings movement is not
a chiId's movement. 1t would be a
capitalist movement if Uncle Sam had
not put the limit at $1,000. If you dc
not buy your quota of War Savings
Stamps you really have no right to
complain if men with large amounts OF
money are given the preference in alb
sorbing issues of Government securi
ties in the future.

A game of 'told cat was broken up
recently by an airplane anti-aircraft
scrap overhead. The game was being
played in the middle of the public
square at Luneville (about ten miles
from the German border and nine
miles back of the front lines) There
was a good bleacher crowd of mixed
poilus and dough boys. The sun was
beaming down from cloudless sky
and the war seemed a thousand miles
away.
"Archic'' Butted In.
But just then an Archie spoke
and everyone looked skyward. There
was the boche. Gun after gun came
into action. Fluffy white wings broke
all about him. He lodged and twisted
and turned.
Within a few minutes the guns had
put a complete circle of bursting shells
about the plane. Then American
roofing began.
"AttaboyI Get him kid! That was
a close one. Now, just once more"
were some of the cries that went up.
Everyone was bending back, shading
his eyes and watching the sight. The
airplane got thru the circle of cream
puffs'' safely and darted back toward
home an occasional shell bursting be-
hind him.
'Foller him up, kid, foller him up!"
was the encouragement shouted from
the American rooters. But the boche
out-legged the guns and disa ppeared.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face = dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DIR. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels. which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
