Last Chance for Strikers.

What they did during the war will have
much to do with determining the status of
men and women of the present generation to
the end of their days. This will hold good not
only with those eligible to active service, but
also to those made eligible by their financial
resources to assist in paying the bills.
De matCer exact knowledge what
everybody did. There are the military records
for the young men, the records of the Red Cross
and other war work organizations for women
and for men not able to fight. And there
the records of the bond sales organizations in
every county which will show Just how much
each individual invested in government securi-
ties at the time when the government was in
just as urgent need of money as it was of men.
1t true after the Civil war, many
now living have first hand knowledge. and it
probably was true after every other war that
this country engaged in that countless reputa-
tions were made blasted according to the
manner in which the individual aided or OPP
posed the purposes of the government at a
time of supreme effort.
In future when men or women come up as
candidates for honors or places of response
bikty, political or otherwise, it will be the nat
ural thing to do to turn back to the waE rec
ords to see what he or she, or members of
the family, did to help or to hinder There
will be revealed the true sorry of the extent Of
loyalty, of personal conception of duties and
responsibilities toward the public. There will
be- record Of deeds against which no fair
promises professions and no apologies or
explanations subsequently, MADE will weigh one
iota.
The Victory Liberty loan offers the last
chance that financial shirkers will have to
amend their records.

FIXING BLAME ON THE GALL
sSAC.

Dr.tDeaver has warned the med
'ical profession to beware the fe-
male fair, fat and forty who belches
air" There is even more ground for
liking the blame on the days gallsac
if she begins practicing at thirty or
thereabout and selects the time be-
tween p. m. and l aAm. for per
formanceS. Not that doctor neces-
sal lily thinks of operation in retail
alton for a night call, but somehow
it seems that attacks of alleged
acute Indigestion" staged after
regular business hours are charac-
teristic of chronic inflammation of
the bile reservoir.
This reservoir is little blind sac
about the size and shape of a per
fume atomiZer bulb situated two
inches due east of the notorious pit
of the stomach" in which pit the
devils of indigestion" are wont to
disport, be the cause heart disease,
gallsac inflammation, gallstenes,
ulcer of the stomach or of the duo
denum, chronic appendicitis, Brights
disease or what not The gallsac
serves as a.reservoir for the bile on
its way from the liver. to duodenum
or twelve-finger length of intestine
next below the stomach. If it had
any essential function in our re-
mote progenitors,, that junction
seems to have been lost in etoIu-
ton, for today the gallsac serves
only as a focus for bacterial inrec-
ton, Inflammation, gladstone for
nation and periodic attacks of noe
turnal ''gas" or Preventative indi-
gestion. These after dark seizures
the victim generally attributes to
some definite article of diet in
which she has foIishly INDUCED;
and she is also convinced, as a rule
that her heart is seriously embar-
raised by the pressure of the gas.
When attacks of this kind occur
at irregular intervals through the
year, attacks severe enough to de-
mand medical aid and perhaps by
podermicS to relie.e distress. the
circumstantiaI evidence against the
gallsac is too strong to dismiss just
because the patient RECEIVERS from
the attack in a day or two.

First Of all, see that the father

They will search for the man and

You have borne the burdens for
your sister long enough, hard as
il may seem TO desert her now.
Great suffering may show her the
seriousness of the thing she is do
ing. She is shrinking responsibility

burden on someone else.
If the father of the children fur
nishes money tor their support and
your sister earns money to take
care or herself, your burden will be
lightened considerably. Ii seems a
pity that you should sacrifice your
whole life for others. If you love
the man and he wants you to marry

have to bear, | think you should
do so. Ii is not uncommon for q
