KAIsERITEs

If you peddIe the lies and whispers Which come from any enemy lair, If you knock the army or navy, You're doing your best to tear The stars from the blue of Old
 Glory
 And hinder our men in the light To put the matter quite plainly, You rank as a kaiserite. If you listen to sore-headed knock
 CTS,
 When they slur this big-hearted
 land If you listen with never a protest To one of that pro-German band; If you don't call him down and in-
 form him
 That you know his stand isn't
 right, You're not a red-blooded American, You're close to kaiserite. If you don't talk up for the country And boost for old Uncle Sam If you knock inc Red Cross and it's

 If you give food-saving a slam If you lister to lies about Wilson, You can take it from me-get it

ENGINEER IS NOW ON
 JOB ALL OF THE T|Nt
Feels Better Since Taking Tanlac Than He Has in g Years, and Has
 Gained 40 Pounds in Weight.

"It's been twenty-five years since 1 felt as we'll and strong as l do now after taking this Tanlac", said o. H. Mahaffey, chief engineer of the Life and Casualty building in Nashville, Tenn, in an interesting interview short time ago.
 After had suffered for two whole years with serious stomach trouble and was told that only an operation would relieve me-, he continued, "I grew so Respondent over my hopeless suffering that was just about to give up my job. had gotten to the place where I couldn't eat thing but oat- meal and sweet milk and even then the pains in my stomach and through the small of my back kept me in mis- cry nearly all the time. couldn't sleep at night and grew weaker and weaker until didn't think I'd ever get any better.
 "It's no wonder that praise Tanlae now and am telling all my friends about it. After taking it day or two l found that I could eat most anything I ever could and from that time on l have improved. Those pains in my back and stomach left me shortly and l began to pick up. I have actually gained forty pounds in weight since started taking Tanlac and l feel bet ter than have in twenty-five years. l can sleep all night like a healthy child and get up in the morning full of life and energy. 1 am right on the job all the time and will be glad to tell any body who wants to know just what Tanlac did for me-"

ATTAINING AN IDEAL.

The Star, within a few days after occupying it's new home, certainly as near to perfection as could well be planned and builded, in this issue takes another step-perhaps small one it will seem to the average reader but nevertheless step toward an ideal that has long held forth in the mind of the editor.
 This is in the "new dress," or type used in the news columns.
 When, some seven years ago, The Star installed that wonderful piece of mechanism, the linotype, there were a good many kinds of matrices, or type molds, from which to select, and of these varities one was chosen that at the time seemed best to meet the re- quirements. But it was not the ideal, and has never been first choice. It had faults that grew in the eyes of the editor as time went on.
 The Star, beginning with this issue, will be printed in the style of type that, it is believed, will be found we'll nigh perfect. It has clear, open, legible face. It has no so-called hair lines, or lines so fine as to make the complete letter outline indistinct. It is large enough to be clearly readable to even the less than ordinarily good eyes, and, last, but not least, will en- able The Star to get considerable more reading matter in the space used than in the past.
 The Star has long enjoyed it's dis tinetion of being classed as one of the very best newspapers of it's class in the country, and year by year, as fast as it can, is reaching out more and more to the attainment of it's ideal, the perfect newspaper
 Of course, this never will be reached. but nothing Is lost by continually keeping the goal in sight-and trying.
 And, how do YOU like the change? ?

Bring in Egg Donations.

Mrs. A. P. Schott, who started the movement to have eggs contributed to be sold for the benefit of the local Red Cross chapter, says that there have been about 100 dozen of eggs promised but that thus far only about 20 dozen have been delivered. The movement will close this week, so it is urgent that folks who have promised eggs get them in that the benefit of the sale may go to the Red Cross.

station at Saarbrucken nave be
bombed 10 times by the British, Kar,
ruhe five times, Frankfort-on-th,
Rhine three times, Stuttgart and zwei
brucken twice.
Most of the air attacks in the Rhine
provinces have been directed against
the key railway centerS, notably those
at Thionville and Metz-Sablon. The
famous railway triangle at Metz-Sablon
and the junction at ThionviIle have
been raided as times. Photographs
taken by the attaching alrmen confirm
the extent and magnitude Of the dam
age done.
Wal traffic through Metz-Sablon has
been materially reduced as a result OF
the frequent raids at a time when
quick and regular transport of NUM-
tons was vital to Germany's military
needs.
The big Industrial centers on the
Rhine contain, in addition to impor-
tant railway functions, some OF the
largest munition, poison gas and cleo
trical plants in Western Germany.
These military objectives have been at
tackled repeatedly with marked effect.

The inquest over the killing of Sid ney Drakenfeld and Modesto Botista by the premature blast on Sacramento Hill about two weeks ago, was held yesterday afternoon before Judge Win ters at Lowell. A number of witness es were examined among whom were several who were injured at that time. No definite reason could be found for the explosion although several theO- ries were given. The cOrOners jury brought in a verdict that they came to their deaths from injuries received by the explosion, the cause of which was to them unknown and it did not hold anyone responsible therefor.
