FORTT YEARS A DRUGGIST He Endorses perunaß Read this from Mr. L. A. Richardson I HP 3| of Marine, Illinois: I "1 have been engaged In the retail dra< bud- I | nn> here fur the past forty year*. During this ’Mi time I have seen many patent medicines come into use, flourish for on* or two years and then gradually disappear. There are very few of these remedies that possess enough real merit to Insure them long life. Ptruaa has always heea a rood seller with no, with a marked laerease from year to year. The change in the formula some years ago, by the addition of the slightly laxative properties, has made it a reliable remedy for constipation and for colds. If taken hourly in tablespoonful doses by adults It will break up'the worst cold In two or three daya* time. I take pleasure in urging my brother druggists to recommend it for these two ailments."

SMOKING TOBACCO FACTS FROM THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA

The Use of Flavorings Determines Difference In Brands The Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco: “...on the Continent and in America, certain ‘sauces’ are employed .. .the use ol the ‘sauces’ is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves.” Which indicates that a smoker s enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the matter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, and smell. You will notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you can rest assured. Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco. Try it and see.

UNCLE SAM’S BILLS MUST BE PAID

Up to America to Shew World That ft Dace What It Promlaea to Da. The argument, sometimes heard, that there shoald be no need of another Liberty loan, because the war to over. Indicates there are some persons no short-sighted am) unpatriotic that they are forgetting the grave dangers that not so long ago threatened civilization. One of the terrors of struggle was the frightful havoc created by the enemy on the high sees, which may be illustrated by an incident, one of ten. thousand similar ones. It was told by a stranded sailor, a lone survivor of a torpedoed ship. He related how a German submarine, after sinking the ship without warning, came to the surface and helped to ’’rescue’’ the few who were swimming or drifting about in the water. They were permitted to cling to the submarine —Jn fact, to find refuge on its deck, Ah empty rowboat floated by, and the commander of the "sub" ordered the survivors to avail themselves of It, because In five minutes the U-boat would submerge.

The rowboat had no oars. There were ■no provisions aboard, no shelter against storms In this unseaworthy shell. It was half-filled with water —salt water —which the survivors had to scoop out with their bare hands. The captain and his men descended into the interior of the “sub." The hatches were closed and gradually the Instrument of destruction sank out of sight, leaving the craft, with Its human cargo at the mercy of the waves. This happened in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. * There is only one thing that can save the world from an upheaval far more disastrous than tlat which we have gone through. That is for America and the American people to hold to law and order, to abide by free institutions, to rebuild, to succor and comfort those who have been bowed down by the terrors of organized intolerance. It Is for us to give more, pay more, do more. It is for us to prove that a wrong acknowledged becomes an obligation and that America dues whatever it promises to do. This can be accomplished only by patriotically getting back of the Victory Liberty loan and backing it up to the very limit of our financial ability. Uncle Sam’s bills must be paid and the boys brought home. Until then the job won't be finished. HELP “FINISH THE JOB."

The Debt

By RANDALL PARRISH.

A young fellow came back to our town the other day, struggling along on crutches; he hnd left one leg In France. A friend met him, and said sympathetically: “I’m mighty sorry, Fred, you lost your leg.” The lad looked at him and smiled. "I didn’t lose my leg, Charlie,” he replied quietly. “I gave It.” That is just what they have been doing, those splendid lads of ours. They have been giving their legs, their arms, their eyes, their very lives, that we might hAve our homes, our shops, our farms; that we might live in peace, In prosperity, In freedom of thought and action. Don’t we owe them anything! Haven’t we a debt unpaid to the dead In France, to the maimed and crippled, who are coming home from the battle front?

That Is the appeal of the forthcoming Victory Liberty loan. It is a debt we owe —to the aviator, who went crashing down in flame*; to the doughboy, who went cheering over the top through a rain of shrapnel; to the gunner, who fell with the lanyard in his hand. We can never pay it —no! Money does not work that mirade. Just down the street from here a flag hangs in the window of a little cottage containing two golden stars. What is my money, or yours, balanced against the priceless gift of the heart-broken father and mother there? If every man In this town should throw his dollar* into the scale, those lives would weigh the most. Cheer and welcome those who return; honor their manhood, and thus pay to them, in a small measure, the debt you owe their service. z But do not forget those others, who will not return —the voiceless dead. You owe a greater debt to them. They died with faith In you.

HELP “FINISH THE JOB"

The war in its larger sense is not over, and our duty to support our soldiers is not over until they are all home. The Victory Liberty Loan is to be used for the purpose of maintaining them overseas as an army of occupation and bringing them back. The Germans, not the Americans, were the quitters, but our work is not finished until we have brought tlie victors home. Let’s finish the Job by oversubscribing the Victory Liberty Loan as we did all its predecessors. We may speak of the Victory Liberty Loan as a.peace loan or a victory loan, but in a sense it is a memorial loan to our soldiers who died on the field of battle. Buy Victory Liberty Loan Bonds and help finish the job-it took 10,000,000 lives to start.

UNCLE SAM PAYING HIS DEBTS

Government’s Credit Standing High, Because of Rapidity of Payment of Hie Obligations—Now a Creditor Nation.

If you were asked to lend money to a private citizen you x would ask: “What are this man’s prospects? Is his business showing a satisfactory growth? Is he paying off his debts and piling up a surplus?’’ When you are asked to lend your, money to Uncle Sam you can safely ask the same questions. The American government soon will ask for another great loan. Therefore, now Is the time to satisfy yourself that Uncle Siam will be an A-l debtor. The first thing that will impress you, when you corne to investigate the old gentleman’s credit standing, is the rapidity with which he has been paying off his debts and becoming himself a creditor. In 1914, when the war broke out, the nation owed four billion dollars (14,000,000,000) abroad and had to pay interest on that amount every year. Now all but about one-fourth of this big debt has been paid off, and the government of the United States has lent abroad a total of ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000). Instead of paying mtflfest to Europe today, Uncle Sam is now in a position to ask and receive from Europe a total of at least five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) a year In interest. That sum from across the water each year will pay more than half the interest the government will owe to its people on all the Libei ty bond issues, including the fifth. Uhcle Sam certainly can show a good set of books. Ilfs credit Is A-l with every credit agency in the country.

No better job wrk produced in this section of Indiana than that turned out by The Democrat.
