WE acknowledge the receipt of some coward's anonymous letter, but wf are not buying any poisoned porous plasters, thank you; nor have we time today to skin any skunks-

THE EXEMPTION OF ALIENS. Apropos of the exemption of aliens from military duties, we consider it unfair and an injustice to Americans to lei these aliens grow fat and reap war profits while Americans are doing their bit in the trenches or behind the trenches. It is not hard to get an insight into the occupations and conditions of the aliens. Many men can certify that they have lost nothing by coming here- Moreover, we have a well-founded suspicion that many citizens declared themselves aliens to escape service they owe this country, and what is remarkable, aliens from allied countries included. In mediaeval Turkey, if the law exempts you from service you must pay a certain sum. We are not mediaeval and the aliens can well afford to pay.

THE FRUITS OF CARELESSNESS. The number of automobile accidents about this city has increased amazinscly of late, and while not many have been attended by fatalities many have been of a very serious character. The fact which is worthy of note, however, and the thing which all drivers of power vehicles should take to heart, is that in every instance somebody is to blame- If all drivers exercised the care they should exercise and observed the rules of common sense there would be no accidents and much suffering and heavy expense be avoided. Where two machines crash together it is self-evident that one or the other of the drivers is at fault. Not infrequently both are In this day when thousands of machines are on the street, the driver who approaches a street crossing without perfect control of his machine is guilty of a negligence which is well-nigh criminal, for it is a negligence which may very easily cost a human life. Yet hundreds are guilty of this serious fault every hour of the day. For each accident that occurs there are scores that are narrowly averted, and in a majority of cases, of course, where chances are taken at street crossings no accident is even threatenedThe accident is the hundred to one shot but the fact that there are several accidents every day shows how many chances are taken. Automobile traffic on the streets of Fort Wayne today is simply outrageous and the wonder of it all is that smashups are not much more numerous than they are, says the Fort Wayne News, and the screed is just as timely and to the point here as it Is in Fort Wayne.

WELL, WE DISCUSS IT. The Gary "Park board's record on the lake front Is not one that will bear much discussion," adds the Gary Post. Of course it's one that will not bear much discussion as far as one side is concerned. As the board was it was bossed by Wall streetNet results of Wall street's taking over the Gary park board is that as before the people of Gary are still barred from their seven miles of lake front. That is why Wall street got a park board of its own. Had there been one that did its duty to the people and not to the selfish interest of dividend-fattening magnates the story might be different today. But Mayor Johnson has taken steps to see that the story will be different- If he makes Wall street sell or lease only i00 acrps of Gary lake frontage where the people can see and use their lake, he will have accomplished a great deal-

"BY GUM, THAT'S ME!"

It. Is related that in a certain newspaper office as a linotype operator was petting numbers of those drafted, his eye reached his own number, and without halting his fingers in iheir flying task he exclaimed to his reighbor: "By gum, that's me!" and went on with his work without further comment. That is the spirit in which the great majority of the young Americans have taken the news that they are included in the first draft, observes the Washington StarAny one of the mn who were drafted may in a few months be in the trenches in France, may be facing the horrid hail of shells and bombs an'' the waves of gas and the jets of liquid fire, may be sent out of the trenche. across no man's land to storm the German positions or may be required to stand steadfast in the face of a German attack in force. Any one of them may be sent aloft in a swift airplane to scout over the German linesand rerhaps battle in the air with a German fiier- Any one of them, in fact.

POSSIBLY President Wilson would do better by issuing a call for volunteers TO marry the White House pickets. LOTS of women consider those sisters who can keep a secret AS disagreeable old things. THERE seems to be an end to German efficiency at that for we haven't

THE latest toast to the ladles is "THE ladies, God dress m" NOT "bless "em." WE know that it takes all kinds of people to make a world BUT how some of them ever expect to help the Germans win the war BY selling poisoned porous plasters AND writing filthy ANONYMOUS LETTERS to us Is more than we. being naturally stupid and dull-witted and not at all of a joyous.

may face death in a thousand forms before another summer comes"By gum, that's me!" The prospect of being one of those in France in all the perils of war, perhaps to die instantly from a shot or shell or to be maimed for life, did not ruffle this man's nerves or cause him to miss his stroke on the keys for the fraction of a second. And the tens of thousands who in a few days will be presenting themselves before the exemption boards have taken the news of their selection in practically the same way. The descendants of the men who made America, who faced the Indians, who fought the early wars and went through the trials of pioneering are not the men tow to flinch or falter when they hear the call of duty.

ETery one will be wearing fport skirts Ma summer some of gaylj striped woollens, but the majority in fancy wash materials. The styles in wash skirts nerer change very radically except in the width, because it stands to reason that anything which i to bs laurdered fre quently carnot be draped or puffed to acy extent However, new ideas are being constantly introduced In the way of pockets, odd belts, yokes, Ac. No. 8,3(55 is equally suitable for wool or wash material The front and back gores form wide panels and the sides are gathered to the slightly raised waist line Large pockets give a decorative effect, as they stand away from the skirt : the tops, giving a suggestion of tb barrel outline. A belt of the materia is becoming to most figures, but it may be omitted if preferred. The skirt pattern No. 8365 is cut tn sizes 24 to 82 inches bust measure. Width at the lower edge is 24 yards The 24 inch size requires 3Ts yards 3(1 inch material, yard 30 inch contrast ing material. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents t the office of this publication.

The bag had no name, so I thank the party through The Times. If by chance you know who sent it, p!?ae send me the party's name so I can thank them. We have been pone from Kort a week now. We are at Fort , R. I. From here we leave for

will not return home until the first of next week, and It is expected that he will call the Democratic stat committee in session within the nxt week or so. for the purpose of accepting his resignation and electing a ntv state chairman. Greathouse was recently appointed

by President Wilson a member of the j commission to administer the new ' federal vocational education law. This position will require muih of his time ' at Washington, and besides Greathouse aid in a statement isied when he tendered his resignation as state1 chairman several days ago that he was c-pposed to mixing politics and educa-i

tion and the schools. He said he felt

that since he had accepted the federal ' appointment he should devote his time '

to that task and get out of active r

ticipation in politics.

The talk of Ellingham tor state chairman started several days ago. but little has been heard on the subject until in the last day or two. it is understood that he has the support of Edward G. Hoffman, of Fort Wayne. Democratic national committeeman, and of the Steve Fleming faction of the party. It is thought, too, that Vice President Marshall would be well pleased with Ellingham as state chairman. Little attention Is being paid to party politics Just now. Everybody seems to be more deeply concerned with the war and carrying it to a victory than . to anything else. True, there are a few politicians who measure everything with a party yardstick and who continue to do their utmost to play politics with every possible thing, but they are In the minority. And. it may well be said, a glance

at the different parties, shows that thess politicians are not confin-sd to any one party. The election of a state chairman, however, is a mere matter of organization, and Ellingham or some other man will probably be elected Democratic state chairman without causing as rr uch as a ripple en the sea of public interest.

almost incredible recoveries from chronic rheumatism and rheumatic neuritis and the interest shown by the public in both cases, Mr. H- H. Chandler of la City Hall Square, Lynn, Mass-, and Mr. L. E. Fogg, who lives at 156 Williams street, Lynn, have volunteered through gratitude to tell their remarkable experience in detail. These men are so enthusiastic that

tric Co. and other business men of Lynn. Mr- Fogg's case is as follows:

Suffering from rheumatism and

neuritis on and off for 20 years, and when the T.'ayor and other prominent business men became interested in Mr. Fogg's case he had been confined

in the hospital for 15 months, seven of which he spent in bed, a helpless cripple. Rheumatism was in every Joint in his body, his knees were stiff and drawn up, joints of his hands :vere swollen and stiff and he was unable to use a knife or fork. Doctors Save him morphine for the pain. MrFogg's extreme suffering, helplessness and his inability to secure relief attracted the attention of his many friends among the business men of the city of I:ynn. They brought him home when he was helpless, confined to a chair; and started him taking Varn-ne-sis; 'in six months' time he was able to go to work and has never lost a day since except for an injury he received. Mr. Fogg's work necessitates him standing all day-Mr-Chandler's case is equally interesting, in that the public was invited to call on him before he started to take Var-ne-sis and his progress was reported in the daily papers from time to time- His attending physician said there was no medicine made that would reach hi3 case. This case attracted so much attention that a reporter on a Lynn newspaper investigated it. and neighbors in Mr. Chan

dler's vicinity testified to the truth of his condition. Mr. Chandler said: "For seven years I was afflicted with Rheumatic Arthritis- For weeks at a time, I was unable to turn over in bed. It kept growing worse and gradually extended to my hip, my right hand, legs and feet, and following this I was confined to the house more than a year, where I wa3 able to crawl about on crutch and cane. I could feel myself growing worse in spite of treatment by three physicians. "For days at a time I have eat with my right foot swollen to twice its natural size, elevated on the arm of a chair aching so that it seemed us if I had but two chances ahead of me the cemetery or the insane asylum. "On recommendations of friends I started to take Var-ne-sis, with the result that in two months I was able to return to my work, and never lost a day since through illness. "I am today well and strong, after having been told by the physicians who had previously treated me that I was incurable " W. A. Varnc of Lynn, Mass., the discoverer of Var-ne-sis, said: "These men suggested the way to bring the evidence to you, and I want the most free and searching investigation made of these cases. At my Boston exhibition and consulting rooms, 140 Boylston street, you wilt see the most powerful evidence ever eiven, a collection of crutches and canes, photographs, derrick and wheel chair, obtained from sufferers from this dread disease, rheumatism. You cannot help but be convinced that I have found the one remedy for this terrible condition- Var-ne-sis is made from roots, herbs and barks, and does not contain the usual rheumatic ingredients. It tends to help the stom
