SALOON CLOSINQ.

The permanency of closing of the loons and the disposition of the state of Indiana towards the liquor question will all be settled within a few days. The Tribune has always clung to a belief in the remedial effects of regulation In the matter and has sincerely advocated such a ptan Ajrainst total prohibition.

There seems to be a conviction that Terre Haute will be a particularly fertile field for the bootlegger and it is a common thing to hear people pre diet that there will be a continuous struggle ^iere between the represent atives of the law and those who would violate it. If the law is to be a law it fee rigidly enforced and should be

Law is law and, no matter how oppressive or iniquitous it may seem, it Is to be enforced until overthrown by the state supreme court, or some higher court, or repealed by the legislative bodj* itself.

The Tribune has believed that the social and economic aspects of the question are too deeply rooted to be settled by this ornha^t legislature pass\i*g a stat# law. What is meant is that,

At least this has been the condition in this country since 1790 and such other phenomena as human progress is judged by fails to show that there has been any great change in man.

The student of the question knows that the average conception of the problem confines itself to "beer" and "whisky," those products whi*h chiefly present thef liquor problem to the popular mind. Of course therfe is no record of the consumption of illegal ifroducts made as substitutes to beer and whisky, but social and criminal records from such sections as the country am are now under prohibition dally establish the fact that it

Disease That Can

not Be Reached by Local Treatment.*

When yon hawk and spit until you almost strangle in an effort to get your breath, because your air-pas-sages are all choked up with Catarrh, and your condition grows worse from day to day, you are about ready to realize that Catarrh is by no means a Eimple ailment.

If you have had the disease for any length of time, you have doubtless used enough treatment to convince you that you will not be able to find any lasting relief from the remedies that are so generally relied upon. Others who have been afflicted with Catarrh have used atomisers and sprays, ointments, salves, jellies and other local applications by the wholesale, without making the slightest progress toward a cure.

You are doomed to the same disaptfcintmer.t. if yon rely upon the same Saisdirectcd methods of treating this ifeease, for Catarrh is too stubborn •sd deep-seated to be reached by medicated applications which are applied only to the surface. q^Why not save yourself the expense

THE NEW CHIEF.

President "Wilson, two months a^o when the allied conference was held at Paris recommended as a military measure and as a strategic move the appointment of one of the ablest commanders to direct the allied armies. The appointment just announced of General Foch to the high command indicates that it did not take the allies long to come to President Wilson's frame of mind.

The scope of Gen. Foch's authority has not been made entirely clear, But it is certain that He now has a wider field of command than any general on the allied side had up to the time of his appointment. He is not simply French genefal. He is a general of the armies in France, and his relation*, presumably, are with the war council

and the delay of getting on the right road, by discarding entirely all these plans of treatment which others have found to be absolutely without merit? Not only is Catarrh a source of suffering to yourself, and annoying and repulsive to those about you, but it is a disease tfrat is not to be considered lightly, for if it is not checked the lungs sometimes become affected, rnd everyone knows how serious that is.

Catarrh is caused by millions of tiny disease germs tvat infest the blood. When they attack the delicate membranes and air passages of the nose and throat, you can never get rid of them by sprays and atomizers. They must be thoroughly routed from the blood. That is why S. S. S. is used so successfully in treeing Catarrh. This remedy is so thorough in cleansing the blood that it .routs out every germ of Catarrh or other disease.

S. S.T S.r goes right down to the Sotrrce of the disease, and if yon will begin its use today, you -will find yourself at last on the right treatment.

If gray hair is your handicap you can easily overcome it with Q-ban Hair Color Restorer just as have thousands of other women. Tt will gradually bring back all the natural color and gloss and take years from your looks. Q-ban is not a dye, but a delightful toilet preparation—a necessity for every woman who understands the value of keeping young. It will not stain the scalp, wash or rub' 9ff or interfere with washing or waving the hair. Also removes dandruff, keeps the hair healthy and is easily applied by simply combing or brushing through the hair.

rather than with the government of his own country. Few have doubfed that some such an arrangement would be best, and if some one man Ijad risen on the allied aide of such commanding genius that he stood out against all the rest as the greatest, there would have been a generalissimo long ago. No such figure arose, but Gen. Foch has risen nearer to that plane than any other man. In the war from the first, he Won fame before the first campaign was ended. Nothing has occurred since to cast doubt upon the greatness of his capacity.

Much has occurred'to convince the soldiers of the different nations that they must loyally and willingly submit to unified command or else continue an indecisive struggle indefinitely. Certainly American soldiers, who have favored concentrated authority from the first, will be glad to see one able genera! raised above all the others. There will be great £lorv for him, if he wins, but there will be glory enough for all.

NOT OUR KIND OF PEACK.

The kaiser in his reply to the greetings of the burgomeister of Hamburg assisted in the general clarification or war issue« by saying in so many words that if the allies desire peace with Germany they may have it whenever they are willing to recognize the victory of German arms.

That is what Ukrainla has done by admitting the Ukrainian boundaries in Russian territory may be fixed through negotiations With Germany. That la what Bolshevik Russia has done by abandoning occupied -Russia to German garrisons. Their course is the example that the kaiser virtually holds up to the world as the only course.

There is no reply but to fight on.

WOOD'S BIG CHANCE.

Mischief makers have tried to create the impression that President Wilson sought to relegate General Leonard Wood to the back ground. Events this week show what folly such an opinion was.

Curiosity as to the future of Wood has been stimulated by his appearance in Washington and has been satisfleu in a degree, by his successful emergence from a session with the board of examining physicians.

He is in good health and fit to command as many men as his military capacity will allow. Apparently, there is considerable divergence of opinion as to how many that is, with the president and the general staff not taking the more favorable view. A year ago a popular election for the place of highest command in the army would have been won by Gen. Wood. His career in the army has been note worthy, his reputation was high and if his position upon public questions

affecting the army had not been popular and had not pleased Washington, it was nevertheless

fact that his

policies became national policies. Since then other heroes have appeared, but his course has indicated at least that he will get his chance. He has commanded a division in training, he has made the usual visit to France for study in the field and he is now officially passed by the medical censor. If he is as much above the run of army officers as his friends think he is, his day will come.

BROADENING THE DRAFT.

If there is any valid reason why the men. who have attained the age of 21 since the last registration should not be subject to the draft it has not been stated. Of all who have reached man's estate, these first voters have fewest dependents. They are of the best age for military service, as shown by the records, and upon them rests the obligation to back up their older brothers who have gone to the front.

The war department calculates that 700,000 will be added to the registration by this means. We do not know where the department gets its figures, but, judging by observation, a great many of the young men who have attained 21 since last June 6 will be found already in some branch of the service, as volunteers.

It is proper to register them, however, and the senate acted wisely in passing

bill to that effect.^ Even if

they never get to the battle line, the yotmg men will be better for the training received.

Foreign Minister Von Kuehlemann is quoted as saying that the United States caused Germany to send an army to Finland. A while ago the army was said to have been sent because the Finns osked for it.

Gen. Foch's character is very well expressed in his message to Joffre at the most critical moment of the battle of the Marne: "My right is retreating, my center is broken, my left is routed. I shall attack."

Having congratulated the K^-upps on their long-range gun, the kaiser cannot do less than decorate them, since a shell from the gun exploded In

church and killed seventy-five women and children.

Bv permitting the harbor at Antwerp to fill "with silt the Germans may think they will help Hamburg and Bremen. They may also help the advocates'of an after-war boycott of those ports.

Col. House has opened his lips long enough to say that Gen. Foch is the greatest soldier in Europe. When Col. House talks he means it.

Some idea of the size of our army is afforded by the statement that there are more than 100,000 Smiths in,it.

When the hotels eliminate wl\eat from their menus, perhaps they will also get rid of some of their chafif.

The Turks express 'an intention to "restore order to the Crimea." We all know what that means.

Men with dauntless spirits men of red blood, courage, energy, "vim and vigor are needed every day behind the lines as well as behind the guns. You need iron in the blood! Every healthy man or woman should have about as much iron in hia

or her body as there is in an ordinary*'tenpenny" nail. To gain this iron, the best way is to take an iron tonic called "Iron-tic," a combination of iron in its most soluble form, discovered by Dr. Pierce and experimented with by his physicians at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo. "Iron-tic" is a form of iron readily taken up by the blood, the blood-cells get round, rich- red in color, the cheeks are pink, the appetite improves, and one feels full of "snap"'

If you want to try this new "Iron-tic" tablet send 10 cents to the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., and obtain a trial package. This 20th century Iron tnnic is sure to do you good.

I am no great speaker, only a, poor little girl But.one 1 ittle speech I have for you, tho' some I know will snurl. Now to all my speech I'll tell, and all who hear wiil know That it's about my brother dear who has gone to fight the foe.

He is a bright, good boy, no braver in the land! For he is strong and ready to flight for

He left his mother one bright day with his heart brimful of joy, For he had outgrown play—his mother's strong, brave boy.

He loved his mother dearly, that's why lie went away To give his life, if need be, in the midst of battle fray. Now any real good mother would be so sad to own A boy who would refuse to tight tor country, God and home!

But this brave boy was anxious to get into the fight. He only kissed his mother who prayed all would be right. And now in the horrfe today there is one vacant chair Which makes us all* feel lonely to see

But we are all sf ill praying that through God's tender care. That thin dear loved one will return to till his vacant chair. But we will never worry for well we all do know That if it still sits vacant when from this earth we go.

That up In that beafttiful city that blooms with roues fair There is a chair and a golden crown awaiting for him there And when he enters the golden gate, his mother with outstretched arms Will be waiting among the angels, guiding from all earth's harms.

Then father, mother, sister and son with tears in their happy eyes, Will kneel at the gate of the city that's built beyond the skies And when many thankn are given and each with a harp in hand Will look on the face of Jesus as they
