For that reason many trains are late. The Times has Increased its mailing: equipment and Is cooperatingin every way with the postofSce department to expedite delivery. Even so, delays are Inevitable because of the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal of men from many lines of work.

FROM HOOVER'S HAMPER. With its actual lack of consistency, the Food Administration publishes a price list which allows retailers a profit of 2 cents a pound on corn meal and one cent a pound on wheat flour, and yet asks the consumer to eat the corn meal. The consumer is urged to eat the commodity that costs the higher price. After Mr. Hoover has tried a few months more to make the water of the economic stream run up hill, pretty much all the country will agree with Senator John Sharp Williams, that "It has been tried enough and it has failed."

THE LUTHERAN.

Thi3 paper has been watching the attitude of the Lutherans as a whole in this war and finds that there is a tendency to misjudge them because of the story that Wiiheim II is a Lutheran. The Lutherans deny emphatically that tho kaiser is a Lutheran and they denounce him with all the power and vigor of their fouls. It is well known that American Lutherans as a church, never have been subject to any foreign rulers. The are among the most loyal citizens of our country, which they loce for the blessings which they enjoy. And they have proved their loyalty also in the present war by supporting their government to the fullest extent of their ability. Moreover, American Lutherans are loyal to their country for conscience's sake. It is with them a matter of deep religious conviction to honor, to obey, to support their country and its government, its laws, its institutions. And as the history of our country testifies to the loyalty of American Lutherans in the past, so also the present crisis finds them in the front ranks to uphold, and if need he, to sacrifice their life and limb, their all, for the country which they love. We want to point out one fact: There are in the service of our country today more than 165,000 Lutheran men, and surely insinuations that their people are not loyal will not help to make them better and stronger soldiers in the fight for liberty. We are today fighting for democracy. There is no more democratic institution in the world than the Lutheran church. The democratic principles of the Protestant Reformation, as enunciated by Martin Luther, were never worked out in Germany, but came to their highest fruition in this land of the free. And every Lutheran church is an additional bulwark of constitutional law and Americanization, distinctly and peculiarly so. For the chief glories of the Federal Constitution, liberty of conscience, freedom of speech and of the press, separation of church and state, were the very things for which Luther stood. Because they were not granted that liberty of conscience and of worship which is so fundamental to the principles of their church, they got out of Germany and they are here today.

TIMES TWISTED.

The American Protective Tariff League is compo?ed of experienced business men, most of them manufacturers. The Wilson Tariff Commission is composed of men who have had little experience in business and no experience in manufacturing. The New York Times calls the members of the Tariff League a "band of theorists." Wonder what it would call the members of the Tariff Commission.

PROTECT THE BIG MEN. The secret service is evidently determined that if it Is humanely possible the tragedy which removed Presi dent Lincoln shai; jot be duplicated in the case of President Wilson. When the president attended the theater in New York the other evening eight secret service men Stood guard outside his box, while stationed elsewhere, about the house were fifty policemen in plain clothes and thirty others in uniform. This may seem to som to be rather overdoing the matter, but better far over-

precaution than negligence. Even as the matter stood ih possibility of a vicious act by some mentally warped bolshevik was nut entirely eliminated. We have had two presidents assassinated in times of profound peace simply because the proper safeguards were not thrown about them, and during a period such as that through which we are now passing it is impossible to exercise too great a degree of igilance, points out the Fort Wayne News. Nor should the president alone be safeguards d. Similar precautions shiould bo taken to protect Schwab, Kyan and other men to whom great tasks have been assigned. We know that there are those who would strike if the opportunity were offered and it is important that no pains be spared to thwart them.

THE INTERNED GERMAN. In the various internum camps in the United Sta'es are many Germans, nominally prisoners, actually pensioners of the Republic, well fed, well lodged, well trtated. These Germans owed everything to the kindly welcome extended to them by the Republic when they first set foot here. Our laws had protected them, our Government had asked nothing of them except that they behave decently; all opportunities for thjir betterment and prosperity were open to them. These are the people who in her hour of need turned against the land that had welcomed them. These are the people who proved disloyal; treacherous, murderous these sleek, idle, well-housed, well-fed creatures known commonly ns alien enemies. What is to be done with them at the end of the war? Are they ro be libi-rated and permitted once more to re.-mnv residence and occupation among us here in the land which they betrayed and which they would gladly have done ro death? Remember what the word "German" stands for today in this civilized world. Remember that these creatures termed "alien enemies." and now fattening in idleness in our detention camps, are exactly the same breed that trampled Belgium into a bloody wallow, that spared neither age nor sex, that outraged little girls, that disemboweled children, that bombed hospitals, torpedoed hospital ships, murdered Red Cross nurses. Don't forget what this loathsome German government, applauded by its people, that hands a million Armenians over to the Turk to be butchered, all ages, both sexes means. It mean3 the people who struck medals to celebrate the death of women and children on the Lusitania. It means a people who began this war with n lie and who have lied ever since. Are the interned Germans of this identical breed to be permitted to remain in this country after the war?

THREE MORE DAYS. There are but three more days to give to the Red Cross and if your name i not on the second Red Cross war fund list you must be conscienceless or a Hun in your breeding. It is one of the frro.irest, grandest, finest thins in tthe world to see how the bulk of the people are refusing to wait for solicitors in this new drive, but are going out of their way to voluntarily contribute to the fund of all funds. Red Cross chairmen are reporting with refreshing unanimity that people don't have to be urged to contribute to the Red Cress any more. A list of narrs has ccir.e to this paper of people amply able to do so who have not given one penny to either the first or second Red Cross war drives. What is to be done with this list is not yet decided. It is to bo hoped that in the remaining days of the canvass some way will be found to make these tightwads loosen up. To neglect to give would be the most foolish thing they could do in all the wide world.

PROFITEERING IN WHEAT SUBSTITUTES. So much ha been said by everyone, from Hoover and Dr. Wiley down to the housewife and the ever alert editor about the outrageous price of wh?at. substitutes that the government is finally acting to stop coercion. What should one pay? Here is what the Chicago Journal found in prices at a cash-and-carry store: Wheat flour, standard 5.9 Corn meal 5.9 Corn fiour (finer ground and with some roughness removed) 6.7 Barley flour 6.9 Rye fiour 7.1 Rice flour 10.5 Potato flour lt.6 Prices for Chicago should be about the same in northwestern Indiana.

In this case constipation had continued for years, when Dr E. Z. Page prescribed the use of Nujol with most pleasing results. His letter follows: NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N. J. Dear Sin : I gave Nujol to a patient who had been troubled for years with intestinal trouble and constipation. The one bottle worked wonders, and she now keeps Nujol on hand and uses it at the least feeling of unrest. I have recommended Nujol many times and result! are always most pleasing. Queens, L. I., Sincerely, Dec. 24, 1916. E. Z. Page, M. D. IT makes no difference how long you' have suffered from constipation, Nujol relieves stubborn as well as occasional cases with equally sure and pi--sant results. Start now to use this safe and effective remedy which Dr. Page and other eminent physicians so highly recommend and prescribe. Nujol restores healthy bowel habits in a gentle, natural way, without the least griping or dangerous reaction. That's because Nujol contains no drug, and so causes no artificial stimulation. Avoid harmful pills and salts that sap bowelstrength with weakening reaction. Nujol is a pure, unmixed remedy; and pleasant to take. Perfectly safe for all. Be " regular as clockwork " use Nujol. ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS There are no substitutes there is only Nujol. every drug store Send 50c. and we will ship new kit size to soldiers and sailors anywhere.

WE HAVE WITH US AGAIN The second crop of Chicago pickpocket thieve on the street cars of the cities of the Calumet region eoes on as merrily as ever. No Sunday poos by without people being; robbed in one of the four cities aa they are getting on street cars. This goes on like Tennyson's brook. It is the same thing; over again every summer. Is there no way of stopping it? AVe do not want to charge the policemen of any of these cities with being derelict in their duty. They have a huge field to cover but we do believe that the police of the four cities should work in unison on Sundays and put forth extraneous effort to break up this insolent gang of Captain Kidda whose boldness is unparalleled.

VANITY VANCE. Pome enthusiastic Democrats have been banking on electing a governor of Pennsylvania this year. Vance McCormirk, however, knows better; and he has declined to be his party's candidate. He is already chairman of the Derrocratic National Committee, he is at the head of the War Trade Hoard, he gets a chance now and again to go abroad at government expense on a pleasant mission; and he has no disposition to exchange all this for the forlorn hope of leading the Democrats of Pennsylvania to the defeat which he knows is certain. JUST for fun. what's become of the old-fashioned man who carried a wicker lunch basket?
