Kindly kwit Kussin. "

This is the slogan spelled in a
whimsical fashion, which the Army
and Navy Y. NJ. G. a. huts
throughout the Southeastern Mill
tary Department are adopting in
campaign to minimiza profanity
among our soldiers and sailors.
"To swear like a trooper" or
"sail0r' heretofore has been fea
tured as the phrase in highest
praise of the proficient "prolana
tic"-but no longer. The liken-
ing is obsolete, for according to
Religious Work Director w. r.
Dobyns of Camp Gordon:
"Less cussing is heard in the
training camps today than on our
city streets. The clean lives the
men are leading are productive of
clean speech. "
The Army and Navy Y. NJ. G. A
is doing its share to keep the
thoughts of the soldiers clean with
its program Of physical and social
activities, entertainments cduca-
tional classes and religious services.
Many printed phrases display con
| picuously III the Red Triangle huts
serve as constaot reminders to the
men of the Objectionable character
of profanity. One of these reads:
"If you curse at home urse here
VI want you to fec home "
They get good resul as the ad
ltising man says. Recently a
soldier at one Of the writin :
benches in hut spewel forth a
mouthful of oaths which was over
heard by uniformed secretary:
"Just put 'em in a letter Ia
your mother sometimep' suggested
the uniformed secretary. A few
days later the enlisted man laid
a neatly written letter before the
secretary with the statement.
"1'hat's to my mother-the first
letter I've written her in sever
year. The hint you gave me the
other day made me realize my duty
towards her and I've decided tC
cut out the cussin', too"

Road To Success Lies Through
r Advertising

Bradstreet's says that "34 re
cent of all failures are among non
advertisersp'
Which, considering the source OF
the declaration, is pretty conclusive
proof that advertising pays.
When Bradstreet's says that only
l6 per cent of business failures arc
among advertisers the statement
has real significance.
No business firm ever became
truly great except by the aid of adj
vertisingl
Like competition, advertising is
the life of the trade" Without
it, in modern days and under
modern business conditions, no
commercial or other business con.
cern can achieve the success that il
can with 1t.

WALL STREET HAD BET
TER LOOK OUT, SAYS
UNCLE LARK.
Well-known Retired Capitalist
Says He Now Feels Younger
Than His Sons-in-Law andIs
Ready to Start Life All Over
Again.

(From Thomaston, Ga, Times)
Uncle Lark Farley says, Il can
personally recommend Tanlac to
anybody" Both he and Mrs. Farley
have gained several pounds land
their health generally is improved.
Uncle Lark needs no introduction
in this county, but as the Times
has some few readers abroad we'll
tell them who he is. Away back in
the 70's, we think it was, a poor
country boy, who was too delicate to
work on his fathers farm. opened
up a little country store which he
operated successfully for thirty-fve
years, losing only $35 in bad ac-
counts during his entire business
career. Finally his health became
so bad that he had to give up his bus
mess. Then he cameto Thomaston
and soon afterwards organized the
Bank of Thomaston, Of which he
has been the Financial Backer ever
since.
Several months ago, Uncle Lark
and his wife commenced taking Tan
lac and now he says that his stom-
ach is in the very best condition and
his knees have limbered up and pain
very little. He is confident that
another months treatment of Tan
lac will entirely restore his health
which he lost in childhood, and if
he does, believe me, Wall Street
had better look out, for a man who
can make the torture Uucle Lark
has with his health, what will he do
as a well man? Uncle Lark is
known as a Retired Capitalist, but,
he says, he is now a younger man
than either Of his numerous sons-in-
law and is now ready to start life
all over again.
Tanlac is sold in Iuka by J. C.
Jourdan, and by one established
agency in every town.
