 On recommendation of General Pershing, the War Department has decided to issue each man in the expeditionary forces fOur-tenths of an ounce of smoking tobacco daily. With this-dreadful prece- dent!-will go ten cigarette papers,
 A few civilian critics may accuse the government of deliberately teaching the Sammy" to smoke ci- garettes, but neither these criticisms amount of tobacco included i'll the army ration will occasion any worry among the soldiers overseas
 Tobacco is almost necessary to the modern war rior as food. Every reader with reasonably long memory will remember that of the things for which the British and Canadian soldiers most in- ssenty clamored during the early stages of the war was tobacco, particularly in the form of flags"
 French brands of smoking material have not made much of a hit with the newcomers from America If anything they trife less attractive than the famous French match, which is designed to perform many small services, such cleaning the ingernails or picking the teeth but rarely has been known to light when wanted

ELECTRICITY AND PURITY

The invention of dryer. driven by electricity, which delivers hot air, from the fresh outside and the sunshine, upon the body, to do the work of the family towel is the latest sanitary household inn provement. Those urging it's contend that one of the greatest germ incubators is the family towel in houses where aundryng is not done by the ton. It is also contended that usually the batch room has less sunshine and air than any other room in the average resident; that in it germs have unrestricted opportunity to attack the barred body. Therefore. the air freshly pumped in from the outside, heated it passes through the pump heat the body can stand is looked upon with hone as an adversary of disease and languor and as an ally of buoyancy and yigor.
 This invention and the favorable comment if is receiving is causing revival of the arguments in favor of pumping fresh air into city residences office buildings factories, shops and stores beyond the fmoke-laden city atmosphere, from beyond the tant- ing stables and slaughter houses and garbage dumns of the suburbs, from beyond the breeding waste of great center of population from the nearest mountains or forests or clover fields air tha. is sun-kiesed and laden with bucoc aroma and elixir of youth.

MIR. SMISER'S STATEMENT.

\ The statement or notice to the public regarding "bootlegging rumors, issued by District Attorney Smiser is timely It serves to call attention to the fact that the place to people of graft ing of lawlessness malfeasance is not the street corners but to those charged with the duty of enforcing law It is easy to poison the public mind. It is easy to spread It is easy to start tongues wagging, and to bring officials into disrepue. It is difficult for those thus fend themselves It is fair in the interest of the public welfare that they should be asked to defend themselves against gossip It is not good for the community to have confidence in the officers of the law wantonly destroyed.
 People should take this statement of District Attorney Smser seriously. They should give him the evidence if they have it of wrong doing, and if they haven't any facts they should not aid in poi soning the public mind by repeating mere gossip. These times too parous to the creation of distrust. People should tell what they know to those who have power to apply the remedy or they should not talk.

WAR AS A BUSINESS.
Cincinnati Enquirer. ]

Few phrases are fuller of suggestion than that which we have chosen as the caption of this morn ings thought War Business" There is more in these words than lies upon surface and they are provocative of some of the most serious reflections possible to man.
 They imply almost absolute reversal of the motive power that ordinarily turns the multtudinous wheels Tn the vast machinery of the commercial life or this nation or a hundred million souls That tive is the sefpreservaton the seIfsatsfacton or the self.aggrandizement of the individual man, alone or Of his immediate family the Little enough he thinks of the Government or even the state, or the community, in those unceasing and world, even those European nations concerned in this great strugge-how often, we wonder have their interests entered into his consideration or actuated deed in his daily life? For him tbev are as if they were not The leading driving thought of his life from of day till set of snu is tbe solution Of those problems and the satisfaction of those needs that upon him as ceasn glessly as the weight of the atmosphere
 We dare not say that all is changed today for the pressure of those claims has not relaxed at all has even been increased, but new immense and won deru motive has subordinated all the others which is win this war Ito make the world safe for de- mocracy to crush the military power of the German people, to save the world for nobler life of man
 How far. how powerfully and how profoundly this motive has affected the activities of our Amer ican life no Instrument measure fully but that it has actually revoluonized the entire scheme of business there is not any possible room for doubt The winning or thls war is a 'side issue" It is the whole thing" All activities are co-ordinated all aims are subordinated, all powers are made to con, tribute to single, definite burmese and that the greatest one which animated multitudes of men for it is nothing less than the preservation of that civilization which the ages have abored so painfnlv through many ages to build up
 It IS moving slght-ths tremendous conspiracy or so many indviduals, institutions and organizations in an effort so glorious and for an object so sublime It makes us wonder why it is that such subordina- ton or indvduas cannot be attained for noble ends Wny can We not forget ourselves or sink ourselves in such efforts those of the elimina- tion of the curse of poverty the vices of gambling of drunkenness and the social evil? Why can we not sustain this sublime enthusiasm for liberty for jus tice and for democracy in times of peace? Who does not feel himself a nober man herself a nobler woman, in proportion to his absorption in this holy crusade tnis mpersonal this unsesh struggle after great and glorious end?

girl without noticing her Isn't it remarkable how a girl quits having her pictures taken after she gets married.
 The reason why a Corn Fed girl ioesnt mind having a shape like 9 knitting bag is because she knows that she has pair of something bigger than knitting needles inside the knitting bag to use as stocking demonstrators. When a many-sided man and a two. faced woman get hitched, there is helapoppin all the time It is the clothes on a woman that turn another woman's head. And it is the lack of clothes on a woman that turns mans head. An obedient wife believes every thing her husband tells her until she has been married at least two weeks.
