ARE YOU GETTING YOUR SHARE? Business men in these days who are sitting back on their haunches -waiting for business to come to them are not business men. They are not reading the signs of the times at allTTie business men who axe going after the business are getting it. An era of unexampled prosperity is spread out in full view of the people of this country. There is no longer any doubt of it. Prosperity is beating the big bass drum and banging the cymbals so loud that a deaf man can hear it. People are buying as they never bought before and they are going to the places to buy that have sent out the clarion call in advertising that they have things to sell. Shoppers are passing by the stores that do not advertise and they are spending their money in establishments that are offering bargains. People no longer have to go hunting for bargains. They are going to the business houses that have called their attention to the bargains they have in full view. Business men In the cities of the Calumet region on both sides of the state line -who are using The Times as an advertising medium are getting astonishing results. The Times is read in the homes. Its circulation has grown enormously despite the fact that it was compelled to double Its subscription prices. It is circulation that Is far more valuable to the advertiser than it was ever before in its history. It is circulation that Is read and studied and it Is .i penny wise and pound foolish merchant who does not ?pt in on the ground floor and take advantage of his opportunities.

way to realization. The coal for which the United States Public Health, Service has been striving legislation and public sentiment mfficient to support a finish fight for the eradication of venereal diseaseshas been attained. Forty-five states are enforcing new, or old, laws for the control ar.d treatment of venereal diseases. Thirtyone states within the last six months have appropriated large sums of money to be used in this work exclusively. Twenty-three states within this period have abandoned old laws to adopt new and uniform ones suggested by the PubUc Health Service with the idea of making the fight more effective. This is one of the really gieat benefits of the world war which the people are just beginning to appreciate, because they have not yet fully grasped the magnitude, or merit of the undertaking. It is pleasing to note, however, that opposition existing is rapidly dwindling to insignificance as the facts are b?ing placed before the public, and the time is not far di.tant when the people will be solidly united in this great health fight. Nothing short of an alrming situation could have worked wonders in so short a while. And it might be well stated again that anv disease affecting as high as twenty per cent of the young men of a community is alarming. It was the presentation of these facts to Congress and the law-making bodies of the states that determined them tD take drastic and quick action. Old laws governing preventable diseases wore revived, or extendi d to include the highly communicable syphilis, and ono:rhea. Millions of dollars were appropriated. New and more effective measures were considered urgent in many states. Some of the more progressive commonwealths have even made venereal disease a bar to handling food. Medical certificates are required as a qualification to secure a marriage license. Public houses of prostitution have practically b?en closed all over the United States. Free clinics for the treatment of the disease are meeting with an almost unprecedented support. Anyone who can read the signs of the times must realize now that any community which calls itself progressive cannot longer permit this menace io public health to stalk unbridled through society. It is nor a reform movemen-, as we understand reforms todav, but a better health crusade, being worked out intelligently along the same scientific lines as the work in making yellow fever, small-pox and the plague extremely remot. Those who are ignorant and can't comprehend the crying necessity for cleaning up venereal diseases must be taught. Those who are capable of comprehension, but still hide behind an antiquated modesty and prudery must get out of -he way and let the work go on. The time to begin is today.

IS WILSON BROKE? Property in California belonging to President Wilson, when about to be sold for non-payment of taxes, was lescued from the block by a man who paid the tax arrears because he "believed it to be his patriotic duty." He was thanked for his auction by Secretary Tumulty and may now go on the federal paroll. It has always been the idea, however, that it was the patriotic duty of every man to pay his own taxes.

A Weehawken man always addressed his wife as "Dear Shrimp."

B lot or married men would like to know how he got away with it. A romantic incident at Hoppertown is related as follows by a faithful editor: Mr. Jabez Durkin and Miss Orrine Lamb 'were leaning against the railing of the Long Bridge and gazing into the limpid waters of Swazey creek, his arm about her waist, when the railing broke and they were precipitated into the water thirty feet below. Mr. Durkin immediately showed great presence of mind by swimming ashore and saving himself. After having done this he jumped into ti. creek and swam back and saved the lovely companion of 'his romantic baptism. He would have saved her on the first trip, but was not sure he could make it. He wanted to see if he could swim to the shore. Wedding bells are heard in the diotmce. The president is said to re disturbed over the political situation in this country, and it seems as though this might be t.e psychological moment to be disturbed, too. Walter Pulitzer says: "A neighbor's servant the other day presented himself at our country home and handed us this message: 'Dear Mr. Pulitzer, we would be much obliged if you would please shoot your bulldog as he keeps us awake. "'Our respects to Mr. S ,' said we, 'and tell him we shall be greatly his debtor if he will poison his daughter and burn her piano.' "Next day we received the following: "We have no daughter, fpg mean our cook, who takes piano lessons Tuesdays and Friday? "

PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS. Germany signs the peace treaty. For our allies, that ends it, unless something happens. For the United States the treaty is not valid until ratified by the senate, but signs are multiplying that the senate will yield. The allied powers are preparing to raise the blockades and withdraw their superfluous troops. The world Is relaxing, drawing a free breath and turning definitely and hopefully to the purposes of peace. Reconstruction is in the air. Such readjustments as have not already been made will come now with a rush. This should be especially true in the United States. Reconstruction here is already far on the road to accomplishment, despite the failure of congress to give much help. The wheels of Industry have already begun to speed up, in anticipation of this day. Unemployment has been steadily diminishing. Capital has been flowing more freely into private enterprise. The government has been losing its hold on the nation's industrial life. 'On all sides there are signs of a great release of energies. Properly understood and utilized, this point of time marks the beginning of such a period of prosperity and power as America has never enjoyed and most Americans have never dreamed of. It rests with every American to bring fulfillment by making the most of the opportunity, it is a time f-r hope, faith, zeal, courage, enterprise and all the constructive powers of the soul.

WHY NEXT 4TH OF JULY SH0UL BE SANE. . If ever in our history there has been an occasion for thorough sanity on a holiday it will be on the Fourth of July. 1!19. It will be a time for happiness, for great Joy, because we have come through the world's war as victors, but it will also be a time for poise and reflection for we are not yet out of the woods. To many minds, the dan-

gers that still confront us as a nation are as great as the

perils through which we have passed and although we have every faith in" the ability of the nation to overcome the evil3 by which it is yet surrounded and those that assail us from within, it is not a time for foolish demonstration nor for waste and noise. As a mark of consideration for those soldiers of ours who fo"ught bravely across the 6ea and who day after day on rifle or artillery range or in battle were forced for months to listen to the crack of the small arms and the roar of the great ones, we should be willing to make the coming Fourth as nearly a noiseless one as may be. We doubt greatly if a single soldier who has been at armed grips with the enemy will feel happy over hearing the sound of exploding cannon or discharging anvils. But beyond all this is the danger to life and limb that the careless handling of explosives always involves. The list of the dead and injured as the result of Fourt of July accidents has been dwindling of late years as the public has become more enlightened concerning the danger that i3 entailed upon the senseless noise-making demonstrations that formerly were considered necessary as a means of showing our patriotism, but the lists are too large and they would be too large if they were to contain the list of a single person killed. The deadly tetanus germ lurks in the wound made by gunpowder and other kinds of explosive ammunition, and hundreds have died of lockjaw who were not badly enough injured to die directly from their wounds. The state and local laws are sufficient if enforced to guarantee a safe and sane observance of the Fourth of July and it is to be hoped they will be adhered to strictly.

FACTS, NOT FANCIES. President Wilson's plan of discussing the League if Nations only in general terms will not go far with practical people. A league of nations is a practical thing or worse than nothing. The sooner the president gets down to brass tacks and tells the country just exactly what the proposed constitution means, and what is effect will be upon the Monroe Doctrine, the immigration question, the tariff question, and a lot of other purely American - problems, the better satisfied the country will be and the better it will be for our future.

CAN'T BLAME HIM. Champ Clark recently told congress: "I do not like to be held responsible for anything I did in the last congress." Or for anything he said, no doubt, notably that conscripts are comparable with convicts. Of course if public men were not held accountable for things they did in previous congresses or past conferences, there would be no way to weigh their abilities and judge of their patriotism. An analysis of Champ's acts in the last concrss does not throw- any glamor over the state of Missouri.

A letter was received in East Chicago from Michael Oswego who Is with tht 113th Supply Train, now stationed in Bordeaux. He was Just getting back from a - leave of absence and was in Paris for several days. He thinks It is almost as good as East Chicago. He sent several pictures that make him look like Pershing.

Among the day's casualties as reported in the War Department list is that of Private Miles Beck. 373 Parrish avenue. Indiana Harbor, who is recorded as severely wounded.
