Viscount Rhondda.

yiscount Rhondda, British food controller, gave
United Kingdom who has died the field OF battle
Overwork and undertaking, trying show to the
people that could subsist the rules
promulgated provided for the average adult individ-
ual so weakened his constitution that he fell victim
to disease. He was one OF many noncombatants
who have made similar sacrifice
Lord Rhondda's position was difficult to dhI
suecessfullylfar more difficult than similar
in this country up the present tne-and for two
reasons. One that the English by habit
heavy feeders and reduction of their rations hits
them in tender spot. Another the necessity
for enforcing far drastic regulations than have
even been thought of in this country OF the
spirit of self-sacrifce is vastly potent in Eng
land it has yet become in America, because of
the direct evidence that has every English
of the desperate and upscrupulous character of
the common enemy and because the Engshman's
own country has been in danger of being overrun.
That has helped the food controller to DO
things that otherwise would have been altogether i'm
possible.
Nevertheless Lord Rhondda showed himself to be
a man OF exceptional force, ability and tact His
peculiar fitness his undertaking enabled him to
do what 1t is possible other could have done

ton. All these pledges must be turned into cash be-
fore the savings campaign may be said to be
success. There many people constituted that
they will make pledges under the patriotic urge of
intensive campaign who. time goes o. and the
element dies away have tendency to forget their
obligations 1t is the problem OF the savings
committee now to pledges fulfilled,
and that the war savings promises are turned into
cash
From now until the end of the year the war saw
ings campaign must go on. But it is a campaign
of merchandising rather than Of obtaining pledges
All over the state the people now know what war
savings stamps are They know how badly the gov
eminent needs the money. They know the strength
of the enemy IN and machinery, and the des-
perate lengths to which he will go to win victory.
They know that we must sacrifice and save If we
expect to defeat such an enemy. We do expect to
defeat him. and we will defeat him. The service
and the sacrifice, in the end, will be Communicated
if IT not given voluntarily. But a true democracy
expects has right to expect voluntary service.
1t should not have to ask for it twice.
To bring about voluntary saving and serving the
government has issued thrift and savings
stamps. 1t has made them such attractive in
vestment that it had to limit the amount that any
one person could to $1,000, maturity value
that the very rich would not gobble up the entire
issue and deny opportunity for war investment to
those in moderate circumstances.
The war savings committe urges that those who
during the recent drive, became acquainted with
savings stamps for the first time, keep up their
purchases live up to their pledges and purchase if
they can, more than they have pledged All over
the nation the national savings day OBJ
served and millions of people pledged. For the next
months they will be turning these pledges into
cash. so that the government may turn the cash into
ships, into food and into guns.
The issue of savings stamps is limited. The
whole country is buying them. The community
which buys the most will be the community which,
after the war, best prepared for adversely. The
community which lags will, toward the end of the
year find the issue of savings stamps
hausted, and will be unable to complete its quota
1t is to be hoped that Illinois will not be found
among the laggards it will its pledges into
cash just rapidly possible.

But why" asked Helen, "do you

Instead of resenting this accusa-

her voice trailed off musingly, It's

"Myrai" her sister exclaimed,
that sounds as if you had found
disappointments." She sighed, and
hoped that marriage would quell
your adventurous spirit"
The girl laughed. Mercy knows !;

The Presidents Address.

Mount Vernon. At the tomb Of Washington, founder
OF the first lasting modern republic, and the ami

to the cause of world freedom. Autocratc power,
wherever it is entrenched may read its in his
words.
If the allies win-and the president implied not
the slightest doubt Of that-they are henceforth
pledged TO destroy curb arbitrary power so that
it will no longer be capable of menacing the general
peace TO make possible for every people to settle
their own affairs without outside interference, to
regard the moral obligations OF nation the same
as those OF an individual, and to organize court
redress of international grievances, backed
by the common police powers.
This is program to Which nation-even Ger

truth when he said that the forces which Prussia
has reused can never be crushed to earth again;

The fuel administration urges also that cellar fur

CHAPTER XII.
The Spirit of Michael Henry and
Others.

That last peril is one of the half
solved mysteries of my lift. The
following affidavit, secured by an
assistant of the district attorney
from a young physician in a village
above Ballybeen, never matter OF
record, heightened its interest for
me and my friends.
"Despondent saith that about II
O'Clock on the evening of the oath
of September Chat on which the
attack upon me was madel a man
unknown to him called at his office
and alleged that a friend of the
stranger had been injured and was
in need of surgical aid. He further
alleged that his friend was in trou-
Bile and being sought after and that
ne, the caller, dared noe therefore,
reveal the place where his friend
had taken refuge. He offered the
respondent the sum of ten dollars
TO submit to the process of blind
folding and of being conducted to
said place for the purpose of giving
relief to the injured man. Where
upoB the Respondent declares that
he submitted to said process and
was conducted by wagon and trail
TO a bark shanty at some place IN
the woods unknown to him where
the bandage was removed from his
eyes. He declares further that he
found there, a strong built, black
bearded man about 80 years of age,
and a stranger to him, lying on n
bed of boughs in the light of fire
and none other. This man was
grooming in great pain from a
wound made by some heavy weapon
on the side of his head. The flesh
of the cheek and ear were swollen
and lacerated. Despondent further
declares that he administered an
opiate and dressed and put a num-
Der of stitches in the injured parts
and bound them with a bandage
soaked in liniment Then despond-
ent returned to his home, blind
folded as he had left it, He de-
clares that the time consumed IN
the journey from the shanty to HIS
home was one hour and ten min
utes."
II should be said that, in the
theory of the district attorney the

ton of their pursuit OF me. origin

responsible men. I know that there

Although the boss imagines he

the boss works just enough to keep

Cleaning is the job that causes
housewife eczema. Water and
soap withdraw the protective oil
and soften and remove the outer
horny layer of the skin so that it is
deprived of its resistance and its
pfiability. Eczema OF the hands
and arms is therefore common
among women who do much dish
washing, laundry work, or scrub

ing powders and cleaners add to
the injury. These things are death
