GERMAN PROPAGANDA

~ ERMAN PROPAGANDA is cunning and is industrious 0 But it will have less weight in America than any European and except perhaps Great Britain In America people all of whom fairly well educated Americans accustomed to think for themselves have the habit of weigh ing facts and the habit of dcounng much of what til conclusive evidence for another is them.
 The American habit of crcising freely those who hold flee has not been altogether weakness for the American pie have thereby formed the habit of making allowance san declarations and they by repudate public want because of the statements of dissatisfied element such opposite political party.
 Secretary Baker says this morning that the Allies have numerical preponderance in France though the Central have been reinforced from the Russian front Also the Allies have preponderance of artillery.
 Secretary Baker says that stories to the contrary have mainly from German So have many other es most of the ghuness stories for instance Part of the German method of appealing to the minds Of their foes consists in spreading tales of all sorts One day will tale that American soldiers dying like flies in American camps other day will tale of the extraordinary avagery of dealing with their prisoners.

We'll, at the very start it will prob ably have to coax them away from some other job by higher wages just as in the last case, but in a very short while you will observe something else taking place. All the people who are saving week by week to buy Liberty Bonds will be able to do so only by denying themselves certain little lux uries or comforts that they have been accustomed to. One mans self-denial won't affect business very much, but self-denial on the part of millions of men and women and children will mean a great deal less buying of fool ish or unnecessary things. Conse- quently the production of those things will fall off and the workers who have
 been making them will be available for work in the lines where they are most needed. Notice that they will not be coaxed away from their jobs by higher money; their jobs will simply fall away from them and they will therefore be glad to take new job at the same pay.

What, then, will have been the net results? Three things: enough work for all, but on the things necessary for the war; no pronounced rise in prices other than may be occasioned by war problems of a different na- ture; money laid up in bonds against a rainy day in millions of American homes.
 Now this is a very crude and nasty analysis of war finance. It is very large and deep subject which cannot possibly be treated fully in a short ar ticIe like this. But this brief outline of the matter will perhaps show you that a nation which tried to finance war with a printing press rather than by the united efforts and sacri- fees of it's citizens will make no more progress onward and upward than the man who first tried to lift himself up by his boot straps and who, so far as anybody knows, is still trying.

and Juniper, so that, when applied externally, the body heat would vapor- ize these ingredients. These vapors, inhaled all night long, carry the medi- cation, with each breath, direct to the air passages and lungs.
 Today this vapor treatment, Vick's VapoRub, is almost universally used throughout the South in preference to internal 'tdosing." It is quick in it's ac- ton, and what is more important, par ticularIy to mothers with small chil- dren, it is applied externally and hence does not disturb the most delicate stomach. Colds are easiest treated at the beginning and VapoRub makes the ideal preventive for the entire family.
 This preparation comes in salve form and its action is twofold. Ex- ternally, it is absorbed thru and stimu- lates the skin, taking out that tight ness and soreness in the chest. Inter nally, the vapors inhaled loosen the phlegm and open the air passages.
