Daniels Pictures Millennium
After the War.
Business, Politics and All Will
Be Changed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2.A"Amer-
lean patriotism and confidence In vic
tory mainly rest upon the knowledge
that American toilers are loyal to the
core"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels de-
livered this encouraging note to the
workers of America i'll a Labor day
address here today.
1.-The full and complete enlistment
of labor in this country" he said,
has not only heartened America, but
has as well cheered and strength
ened the heroic men fighting for lib
erty across the sea. The magnificent
reception of Samuel Gompers in
Great Britain, hailed there as the
labor apostle of the doctrine win the
war shows that labor loyalty here has
stimulated the spirit of fighting to
'ictory in all allied countries"
Labor Has Done Much.
Labor. he~declared. has shown itself
patriotic and devoted and thru its
efforts. despite depleted ranks, has
largely increased the nations normal
output.
He pictured a new world after the
war-a world with broad gauge views,
with a liberalism that would benefit
all mankind.
The world after peace. he continued
will not go back to the conditions
such as existed prior to our entrance
into the mighty struggle. The people
will take on new dignity What labor
earns will find its way into the pockets
of labor. new conditions will impose
new duties. Craftsmanship of vision
will create new opportunities for
American commerce and guarantee to
labor the bread it has earned. Polit-
fcal shibboleths men headed in 1916
are as dead as the mummies of Egypt
and men who try to galvanize them
will be interned in the cata combs that
overlook Salt river
Will Be New World.
This war is fundamental. Its eff
feet will be to change everything.
Trade and commerce and finance will
seek new and broader fields and men
and standards. There will be a more
equitable division between capital and
labor. But no Bolshevikism. no fail
ure to protect alike property and
labor, no class domination that lends
itself to injustice or wrong can flour
ish on this CONTINENT

EIGHTEEN CARS OUT
Storm Last Night Plays Havoc With
Street Car Service in Topeka.

Eighteen street cars of the Topeka
Railway company were put out of
service last night before midnight by
the electrical storm. An extra force
of repair men have been placed on
duty by superintendent Howard Pat
ten in an effort to get the equipment
in shape for the Labor day crowds.
1.-The storm hit us at a most mop
perfume time" Patten said today.
I'VE had made plans to use all our
equipment to take care of the Labor
day traffic to the parks and the fair
grounds. Now with eighteen cars out
of service due to the storm last night
we are crippled and must give the
patrons the best we can under the cir
cumstances"

is understood that only one thorough
lyf reliable druggist is appointed in
each town to distribute the much
Eought-for product.
Following this discussion, an
nouncement is now made that Irogen
can be secured in Carthage at Read
Bros. and many hundreds have al
ready called to get supply and test
the strengthening powers claimed
for this new discovery, and those who
are in a position to know predict that
Irogen will shortly be used in every
household throughout the length and
breadth of this county.
According to physicians and drug
gists, among the numerous symptoms
which may indicate in varying de-
grees weak blood and its need of Iro-
gen are: Lack of muscular strength
and endurance, weakness or irritabil-
ity,S pale, anaemic skin, restless sleep,
loss of appetite, dyspepsia and indi-
gestion, loss of weight, susceptibility
to colds and catarrh, habitually cold
feet and hands, exhaustion after mod
crate exercise or work, premature age
and various skin eruptiOns. On the
whole, it is. said, the heart and stom-
ach suffer the most from weak blood
and respond most quickly to the
strengthening effect of IrOgen.

Salvation Army Work.

Risking their lives within the shell
zone behind the American lines in
France, Mrs. Adjutant Hammond,
Lieut.. Lulu Lawyer and Envoy Pau
line Swartz, Salvation Army women,
assisted by a detail of soldiers, fry
dOughnuts from early morning until
late at night. On more than one Oc-
casion they have been driven from
their dugOut as the place rocked under
the hammering of the enemy's big
guns, but despite shrieking shells
overhead, the intrepid Salvation Army
workers refuse to quit their labors in
behalf Of the soldiers.
With shells flying overhead almost
daily, EnSigns Gertrude Symmonds
and Viola Williams constantly are
rolling, cutting and frying doughnuts.
On one occasion they made $500
doughnuts for the men of an Amcri-
can regiment which was moving from
its temporary billet in the next vii
lage up to the reserve line for the
night. When the doughnuts were
finished they were distributed, two to
each soldier, as the men marched in
single file on either side of the am
bulance where the Salvation lassies
were stationed.
These same girls gave coffee and
biscuits to 700 weary doughboys the
day before, as they stopped to rest
on the road near the Salvation Army
hut. When the soldiers gave three
cheers for the Salvation Army, the
villagers turned out, thinking f'those
amazing Americans" had won another
victory.
American soldiers are not satisfied
to return home knowing no more than

Looking After the Boys.

Roy Durstine, an American news
paper man, with the fighting forces
in France, tells story of a French
port town that will comfort the heart
of every mother who has a son over
there"
In the heart of a French port town.
where traffic is thickest there stood a
bar-room. 1t was just at the point
where a sailors or soldiers thirst
might be greatest as he trudged W
the hill It did such rafting good
business that the military authorities
kept an eye on it, and because the
military police had the habit of drop
ping in there frequently, the sailors
and soldiers grew uncomfortable and
quit patronizing it. Then the madame
who managed the business, found ii
Improbable and had to sell it.
1t was bought by a merchant who
sold the fixtures to Arthur S. Taylor
another former newspaper man OF
Philadelphia, now Y. Nj. G.. A. man
Taylor told the boys they could con
tinue to have a bar without the mill
tary police bothering them, so he cx-
changed the liquors in the stock for
the kind of soft drinks found at an
American soda fountain.
The fighting men came back and
stayed. They found chocolate milk,
ice cream soda, nut sundae and straw
berry pop instead of gin fizz, whiskey
straight and brandy as in the day
when madame ran the bar-room. And
they found more. They found pretty
American girls in the Y M. C. A uni
forms waiting at the little tables
and operating Victrolas with new
tunes, fresh from back home.
1t was another instance where ths
Y. NJ. C. A. saved an ugly situation
and saved many boys from spending
their spare time in harmful way
The boys showed their appreciation
and the place is thronged twice a!
much now as in the old days wheT
intoxicants were sold there.

THE LIBERTY WHEAT CROP.

Tennessee farmers are asked by the
Government to increase their wheat
acreage for the coming crop by ap-
proximately 100000 acres.
The nation is appealing for the
greatest wheat acreage ever sown
in order to insure an abundance of
bread for the people of this country
and the nations allied with us, and to
provide against possible crop fail
ire. Every resource of the nation is
being modified for a great military
victory over the Hun next year. All
plans are being made to crush the
enemy during 1919. The Liberty
Wheat Crop" is a part of the general
military plan.
This state has made an enviable
record in responding to all war calls.
1t has over subscribed its quotas of
the Liberty Loans; it has given more
than was asked for the war bene-
volences; its people have conserved
food; they have obeyed the requests
of the Fuel Administration and the
state has given every soldier and
every sailor asked of it. During the
past year, despite an acute labor
shortage, the farmers have produced
more foOdstuffs than were ever grown
in single year in the history of the
state.

IMPORTATION CONCERNING
WAR RISK INSURANCE

/. There still appears to be some
misunderstanding concerning allot-
ments and allowances under the War
Risk Insurance Act dated October 6,
1917.
2. The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, Washington now only handles
the Government allowances, and no
correspondence should be addressed
to the Bureau concerning allotments.
The following governs the case of
allotments:
"You will no longer receive checks
from this Bureau for the voluntary
alloments which the Bureau has pre-
viOusly sent you; but, if the enlisted
man, who has already been notified
of this discontinuance, desires to con-
tinue this allotment, he will do so
through the "Quartermaster Gener-
ais Office, Washington, d. c." for en-
listed in the army, the "Navy Allot-
ment Office, Washington, D. c., for
men enlisted in the navy, the "Pay-
master, u. S. Marine Corps Head
quarters, Washington, D. c." for men
enlisted in the Marine Corps, or the
Captain Commandant, Washington,
D. c." for men enlisted in the Cost
Guard.
II you correspond further in regard
TO this matter you should write to the
enlisted man, or to the Office mention
ed above, according to the service in
which he is enlisted.
Do not write to the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance as it no longer has
charge af this particular case"
By direction of the Governor.

DISCOVERY OF IROCEN

Remarkable New Element Restores Health and Vital

X Scientists-TO Be Placed ON Sale in
Carthage, at Read Bros.

Few announcements in many years
have caused such. widespread interest
in medical and Scientific circles and
among the public in. general as that
recently made regarding the discov-
cry of Irogen and its relation to the.
blood and general health of the hui
man system.
The wonderful power ofNIrogen ITO
rebuild natural strength, health And
vigor is now attributed by physicians
and scientists to its blood-baflding
power. lrogen, they explain, Eegen-
crates human blood, for it has been
demonstrated beyond the possibility
VT doubt that Irogen supplis Ma
ture with the element essential to the
formation Of new blood.
The entire nation has been amazed
over the possibilities brought to light
through the discovery Of Irogen, and
r htly so, for this discovery has a
practical interest of fSr-reaching i'm
pOrtence to the PUBLIC in general. 1t
is known that the world is literally
full of people whose blood is below
the standard of vigorous health and
whose strength and vital resistance
to disease therefore very low. AL
most every household, it is said, con-
tains one or more persons whose vi
tally is below hormal-not necessar-
lily invalids, but rather weaklings, who
are prone to disease and complaints
of every kind. TIC these Irogen will
prove of inestimable value in rebuild
ing natural strength and health
through regeneration of the blood, de-
clare authorities.
Great Interest has been aroused in
Carthage since the discovery of Iro-
gen and much speculation has been
made as to who would secure the
