The mere financing is easy enough. But this throws an ever -increasing after-war burden on the nation. If war ceasefii today the German government would have to find, for interest an war debt, pensions and civil expenditures a revenue probably four times as great as it received before the war; and Germany was., heavily taxed then. Austria-Hungary would be in worse plight. Even now in the United-States we ‘Xe’ how deeply w'ar entrenches upon ordinary industry. The War Industries Board calculates that before the end of the year there will lie no ste-d and Iron available for non War purposes. Germany's industrial organization has been much more extensively invaded. With every month of war. industrial reconstruction after the war becomes a harder task for the Teutons. % The Central Powers are fighting themselves into a hole that they can never get out of except with the hearty support of the United ”Stwtws and Great Britain. When fighting stops, onr financial and industrial reserves will count as heavily as our reseres of soldiers are counting now. Every dollar you produce and save goes into the scale twice for the kind of peace the United States wants.--Saturday Evening Post. The advisory committee of fte Fourth Liberty Loan organization believes that every man and woman In the county is a patriot, a real American reu blooded citizen, who desires more than anything else that this nation, right as she always is. shall win the war. that democra y shall live, that the frightful world war shall soon end and that our seven hundred boys now in service shall soon return to us. They are therefore appealing to the best sentiment in the breast of every man and woman by the adoption of the plans for a three day volunteer campaign to meet the Adams county quota for the Fourth Liberty Loan. This will be proceeded by a two weeks intensive speaking drive, reaching every nook

A complete re- 1 (OH is to be made at the close of the ' t campaign and if any have failed to do their duty they will be called upon perhaps several times. The organization looks good, it is complete in de tall an<l it should bring wonderful results in good old Adams county and it will—if you do your part. «.l HI ■ The Fort Wayne News is howling because actors and actresses on the stage, pay tribute to President Wit son. It’s a case of being “skeered " .but they may well lie frightened politically if the isipularity of our great president is to be the test. His greatness is recognized only in this country but over the world and he will be more appreciated time rolls on. It takes a pile of nerve : r the petty partisan papers to critic! .e him or those who pay tribute to him. but the News has the nerve. I. t them go to it. The president cs i stand it and the admiration of him by the American people will increase as politicians and editors wrongfully assail him. Volunteer your subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan and let it be for every dollar you can afford. There is not a person who cannot in ■ some manner take bonds.

United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris. Sept. 7—(10:13 a. m.)—With boundless rage the Hun hordes are systematically pillaging first, then burning and dynamiting all cities and [towns as they retreat. Allied troops have only two words: "Vengeance." and "Reprisals.” Military experts today are convinced the Germans will be forced to give up the St. Geobian highlands, the key to that region, as well as the Chemin des Dames. The concerted advance ]of the Franco-British forces toward Cambrai and St. Quentin is now distinctly menacing to St. Quentin. I London.

Laon and the Chemin des Dames are in the path of the allied attacks which { i according to the night official state- . mens, are making rapid progress everywhere. Before St. Quentin, the British f crossed the Somme and plunged ahead in some places seven miles tn a day. In their southern flank the French swept forward, capturing Ham and 1 ' Chauny and penetrating Coucy for- 1 1 est. one of the most important de- lj tenses of Laon. Still further south ’’ the French, encroaching on the I ‘ Chemin des Dames from its flank. I 1 pushed to Laffaux farm. From this point the line drops down 1 below the Aisne, where the Americans - ■ are fighting.

City Health Officer Dr. H. F. Co lello gave the following interesting 1 talk to the city school teachers Fri day afternoon at the new high schoo ■ building: Prof. Worthmann and teachers •>. the city schools: “ 1 wish to thank Prof. Worthmai 5 tor his kind invitation to meet witl you and make a few remarks upot public health topics, and especially preventative medicine as it pertain' B to the children under your care du. ing the school year. As you all knov. the slogan now-a-days is conserve I tion and where can it be better ap plied than to the health of the chil ■ dren. the future men and women o' t this is the greatest country on the face I" of the earth. > To you teachers among your var ious other duties, is given the respen i sibility of implanting into the plas t Uc minds of the children elementary principles of preventative medicim '• that will be a great aid to them it: maintaining their bodily vigor and’ increase their resistance to the rav ages cf disease during their entire life time. , The greatest business in the world i is t'ne business of keeping well, as a'l other business depends upon this, the strength of a nation depends upon ihe health of its citizens. o The statement has recently been t made, that in view of the increase ■» i the cost of living it be proposed the economy of keeping well. It costs )■ nothing to keep well and it costs a c great, deal to be sick. The practical life Insurance people say "That at the time there are about 250,000 more or less sick persons in lj this state and 10 to 12,000 prevent able, deaths occur in Indiana annually." Most of the sickness is prevent II able. It. is wasteful for the state to 11 pay out S3OO. per capita to educate its R youths and then let several hundred die about the time they arrive at a ' productive and useful age. In 1914, the deaths in the age period of 15 to p 30. numltered 1.691. This is a verygreat loss, for those with strength ' enough to live to be 15 vears old 1 I should not die until the natural span [ of life is reached. On this basis about 1,600 of these 1 lives should have been saved. If proi> y er preventative measures had been 1 i- taken, ’ihe money loss at $5,00 per .- head—the value of a human life, sus-1 ! tained by the courts—would amount* ~ to $8,000,000. This amount would go I a great wayk towards paying the $lO.-1 - 000.000 wasted by the people of Indi- 1 ana in just being sick each vear. [' 1 5 All boards of health are anxious to have the co-operation of the school teachers in helping to prevent com-*' , municalile diseases, and that is an idt ditional reason fur me meeting with [ you today, to let you know (he names ' . jof the different diseases that the state board oi health classify a coining 8 1 under the rules of quarantine and ex- f | elusion from school and also to give you a short synopsis of the most' prominent symptoms of these diseases .so that you can more readily ■ determine the character of the ’ll x

seal and in this way' prevent the! Iransmission of these diseases t’> vther pupils. The speaker then proceeded to enumerate the different dlaeasew classl lied under the heading of period ■ ' quarantine and exclusion from school. Smallpox -For the patient, quar.it) tine for not less than 21 days atter Ihe beglning of the disease. For exposed persons, quarantine for 14 days from date of last exposure unless sin • lessl'ully vaccinated or protected l>> a previous attack of the disease Exclusion from school for 7 days following the removal of quarantine. Scarlet Fever—For the patient and children in the family with the patient. quarantine for not less than 21 days after the beginning of the disease. Exclusion of the patient and children associated with the patient, from school for 10 days after the removal of quarantine. Other children of the family may at the discretion of the health officer having jurisdiction, be disinfected and removed to another house and shall there lie isolated and excluded from school for a period of 10 days, and then released provided they remain free from the disease. The speaker here emphasized very strongly this portion of the rule as •here has been considerable conin--.ion caused in the last by erroneous information given to parents. Diphtheria For the patient, quarantine until the secretions from the nose and throat are free from the diphtheria infection as shown by bacter’ological examination of such secretions. For children associated with or in the family with the patient, quaranine until death or recovery of the patient and disinfection of the person, clothing and the premises; provided, that other children ol the family who shall receive an immunizing dose of antitexin of notl less than 1000 units may be' released from quarantine at the discretion of the health officer, after disinfection of the person and clothing ient shall be excluded from- School until a medical certificate that the nose and throat are free from infection. based upon bacteriological ex vinination. is furnished. Children associated with or in the family with the patient shall be excluded from school for 7 days after release from quarantine unless a medical certificate of having received an immunizing dose of not less than 1.000 units vs antitoxin is furnished Measles —For the l ati.fit isolation mil quarantine for not less than 11 lays. Patient shall not lie permitted to attend school for 5 days after quarantine has been removed: children in the household shall not attend school or other public gatherings or mingle with other children unless satisfactory proof shall be furnished to the health officer cf their having had the disease in which event the health officer may at hisl discretion, permit the said children to attend school and other public gatherings. Chicken Pox—For the patient, quar antine for not less than 14 days from the beginning of the disease and tin til all scales and crusts have disappeared. Children living in houses where the disease exists are to lie excluded from school 2 weeks unless satisfactory proof of their having had the disease is furnished. Trachoma — Cases of trachoma shall be excluded from school until the patient is placed under approved treatment and such cases shall he readmitted to school only upon certificate from the health officer that the cases are under approved treatment. The next subject taken up by the speaker was the manner of issuing certificates and by whom. That the policy adopted by the board of health of the city of Decatur, would require ail certificates to be signed by the attending physician ami accompanied by a written permit from some medical member of the local board t f health. Tlie doctor finished his talk by xpressing the hope that his remarks would be productive of good results both to the children and the community, that we might have less contagious disease occurring in out schools and thus have a healthier, happier and more efficient citlzjashlp. ■ MARTIN NAMED SENATOR.
