OF Cleveland. He Guarantees Simple
Home Treatment Given Without The
Knowledge of the Drinker.

Cleveland, Ono wife has a right to

land A woman can cure this disease
stop a drinking husband in a few
weeks for half what he would spend on
liquor in the same time. The habit
can be broken and the disease cured.

ON FOODLESS DAYS

The Goldfish is a handsome bird,
With plumage fair to see
He is true and steadfast friend,
And makes hit with me-
He fingers round the grocery store,
His atmospheric immense.
To meet him once is but to feel
His presence decades hence.
He is stronger in the land
His home is far away,
Amid the oceans breaking waves
And headlands' foamy spray.
He's more than just an ornament
His missions understood
Whene'er the lid is clamped down tight

The Man or Woman Who Can Eat
Heartily and Not Fade Away Is the
Welcome Guest Anywhere.

"eiComc IucSt anywhere
Many people just hate to eat in
company. They prefer to crawl into
some by-place for a dyspeptics plate
of molly coddle. Business men often
resort to this form of weakness under
the belief they can work better But
it isn't what you eat but what you
digest that counts. Some stomachs
can't digest even a glass of milk So
they simply keep on feeding dyspepsia
and get gas, water brash, sour risings
and SO on that the better informed and
hearty eaters entirely avoid. This
they do by using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Many physicians prescribe them for
stomach troubles and digestive disor-
ders. They are sold at every drug
store everywhere, price so cents box

WHY is is NECESSARY TO

Before the war France, Italy and

Great Britain bought sugar from
Germany.
Now France, Italy and Belgium
cannot raise much sugar because
their men are fighting and Great
Britain cannot buy sugar where
she used to buy it.
All must now get sugar where
we get it, and there is not enough
to go around unless we save.
This has been proved by the

Ralph Robertson Complies Some Interesting Facts Which Answers

In connection with the enrolment Of men in the U. S. Public Service Reserve, there has been furnished to Federal Director Robertson a quantity of postal cards known as the Hurley" card. These cards are to be filled out and returned to Mir Edward N Hurley, chairman U. S. Shipping Board, Washington D. C., by shipbuilding mechanics only; that is men who are skilled blacksmiths, boiler makers, ship carpenters, dock builders, electrica workers, foundry workers, machin ists, painters, plumbers, pipe filters sheet metal workers. coppersmiths ship filters and structural iroI workers. The purpose of these cards is to find out how many me chanics there are in the United States, who are skilled in the line: mentioned and who are willing t( enter the service of the government in these classes of work which art adjuncts of the shipbuilding trades The Department of Labor hope' that every man in the country wht is skilled in any of these lines vii immediately register for service.

in the Service.

enrolled in the Service.
 No man need hesitate about en- rolling simply because he is not skilled in the lines for which the Hurley postal cards are used, as the Reserve welcomes every patri- otic citizen who wishes to serve, whatever his qualifications, includ- ing laborers of all kinds, arti'
 engineers, professional men. The men especially needed besides those who are skilled in trades which are adjuncts to shipbuilding, are me- chanics, artisans, skilled laborers of all kinds, men who can work with tools.
 As it's name implies, the United States Public Service Reserve is not an agency to secure a reserve em- ployment for it's members. It aims to have on hand reserve of avail able men who, while staying at their posts in the industrial life of the government notifies them that they can be of greater service else where. In cases where the Govern ment asks men to change employ ment, it will do so only after ade- quate consideration of the interests of their present employers. At the present time the Department of La bor is making provisions for an ex- tension of the U. s. Employment Service in order to place in jobs those men who want immediate jobs. The Department of Labor is committed to the policy of supplying
 war industries first, and, so far as 1t can, from the ranks of the unem- | ployed. When qualified men out of | jobs are not to be had, and only then, will it seek to get men to
 shift from one employment to an | other.
 Enrolment does not bind the | rerson tHroiling to accept a job | from the government, althou.,s it is
 hoped that he will do so if d job
 IS offered him. S.t the time r-s-
 istrant is offered a job, he will be
 informed as to the wages and oth-
 CT working conditions, so that he
 will then know whether or not he
 is in position to accept. Regis
 trants will be furnished with a
 membership card and also with a
 bronze button. as soon as the latter
 are received from Washington. Inasmuch as Alaska's quota is
 1000 men, it is hoped that every qualified person will immediately register. Registration has been
 somewhat delayed by reason of the | failure of supplies to reach the Fed
 eral Director for Alaska, but now | that they have arrived it is thought hat large enrolment will be had Persons on Gastineau Channel may register either with A. F. Gurr
