Traitors Among the Native Born

Pro-German sympathizers are to be found not only among those who have Teutonic blood in

their veins but also among native-born Ameri

cans, some, of whom are in the Kaiser's pay, , A. Curtis'Roth, for seven years vice consul of the United States at Plauen, Saxony, who is combatting the German spy system in this country through articles in widely read journals, says : "As a matter of fact when I was in Germany I knew two Americans who were actually in the German Secret Service : One was in Berlin and one in Roumania. They were very' able, too." , Overlooking for a moment the actual work of the German spy system in the United States and . the mistaken sentiments of some Americans of German parentage, we find, even in our own community, men and women of American birth whose expressions not only are detrimental to the common good but also are superlatively disloyal and inimical to the national welfare. Mr. Roth describes this type of American in these words : "But for the great, mass of Americans, I think the man who is really most dangerous is the man who is absolutely sincere, and who has been made the dupe of German influence. He is the emotional man, the man who knows nothing about war, the man who has always lived in an amiable, free, peaceable country, and to whom war is 'the most terrible thing in the world.' It is unspeakably horrible to him that any nation should set out to 'kill people.' He means well. But he is opposed to. our fighting the Germans, or any one, because war is 'so horrible.' Well war is horrible. It is horrible that we are in this war. The only thing is, it would be more horrible if we were not in it. We are fighting Germany because we have got to fight Germany. One of the things I became convinced of before I left Germany was that they wanted to get us into the war. And if those uninformed emotional pacifists were sent to Germany for two or three weeks, they'd all want to fight Germany tooth and nail! But, as it is, the German 'peace' propagandist gets hold of that well-meaning, ignorant, sentimental man, and he is helpless before the German's beautiful talk of 'peace.' And just because lie is an honest man, because it is his sincere feeling that has been played upon and made use of, the more dangerous, as a source of dissension here."

ment about our right to wage this wear. The one

high duty of every . patriot is to accept the issue and to fight in behalf of his country. If such a person believes we did wrong when we entered the war, he ought to be man enough to go to the nearest federal officer and say, "I believe we have no right to fight against Germany, please send me to the kaiser's realm or lock me up until the war is over." Then he would be fair to his fellow citizens, honest in his con: victions. So long as he cannot believe in the righteousness of this struggle, he is an enemy to the country, a menace to the nation, a supporter of the Kaiser, and his place is behind the prison bars.

Manv Americans of German parentage in

Richmond have a higher conception of their citi

zenship than some men of pure American ances try who are playing into the hands of the Kai

ser's agents, thereby giving the citizens of alien

birth cause rightly to say that they are surprised

at their utterances. " . '

We know how a man of Teutonic ancestry must feel if he bumps into a native born citizen

and the following conversation takes place:

"Mr. Blumenstein, you know I can't see why we are in this war? What are we going to get out of it? I hate to see my boy leave the American

continent to fight in an affair that doesn't con cern us."

Blumenstein's oldest son joined the infantry five years ago and has been in France for many

months; one son is in the aviation corps, and an

other is in the next draft. His parents left Germany because they were tired of Teutonic officialdom. .

He has scanned the casualty lists of the Amer

ican navy and army and recalls a large number of

names of pronounced Teutonic origin. What shall he answer? Either:

"Well, of course, every man has a right to his own views, and if you feel that way about it, I guess it's all right." Or: "You are a disgrace to the nation. I am a naturalized citizen and glad to give my boys and my money if they are needed. Please don't bring up this subject again." Or, quitting the realm of words, to get into action: Biff! Bang! Biff! Bang! If a pro-German deserves a smash in the face for a disloyal thought, why not a double blow for the anti-American who is recreant to the duties of citizenship ?

WAR BILLS i

Do you ask me whence these missives,

When these boresome dunning let

ters?

Listen, child, and I will tell you From the butcher at the corner

And the grocer and the baker

And the cheerful old shoemaker;

From the milkman and the iceman, From the gink who peddles water, From the teacher of our daughter

Who is taking music lessons,

From the life insurance agent,

From the hale and kultured plumber

Who fixed up our pipes last summer,

From the pastor, from the tailor, From relief movements a hundred, From electric lighting experts. From the telephone collectors, From the highways and the byways

Come these very prompt epistles

With velocity of missiles Hurled with aim that is unerring. And the mailman, fagged and bending, 'Neath a burden that's unending, Lugs to us our daily letters With the fronts that are transparent. THE PRIZE PEST

I try to live a simple life in quietude

and peace, but spite of all That I can

do my daily woes increase; my gentle heart is rent with pain, my bosom filled with care and silver streaks begin to spoil the auburn of my hair. What is it makes me utter plaints so foreign to my soul? What makes me lie awake at night and madly toss

and roll? What Is it robs me of my joy, the joy I'm longing for? It Is the

bonehead who comes in and blabs about the war. He comes to me at diverse times and works in sundry ways. He fills my nights with pale distress and ruins half my days. He makes my inmost soul revolt. He makes my think-tank tired. I fire him, but the reprobate he will not long stay fired. Oh, for a lodge, a little lodge In some vast wilderness where arm-chair experts do not live. A home like that I'd bless. I'd rather be well rid of him than roll in sordid pelf. The bore who talks about the war is worse than war itself. A- dying husband in Pennsylvania left strict orders that his divorced wife should not be allowed to attend

his funeral.- But it dessn't seem right that she should be denied that small and inexpensive pleasure. With a little foresight the thrifty housewife can now round up a lot of eggs at 58 cents a dozen and fool the cold storage people who claim that eggs will be 75 cents when cold

feather sets in. Packing eggs in brine is no trouble at all and it repre

sents a greater saving of money than preserving fruit for winter use. The eggB. too. seem to appreciate being kept in a good home instead of in cold storage, and if one or two of the

lot become indisposed, instead of sufferine In silence until cooked, they i

rise to the top of the crock for sympathy. " NOTHER HERO He wears no medal on his vest. No lettered bronze adorns his chest. He makes no grand stand bid for fame, ,

The hero stunt is not his game. But he has faced the stress of life

And smiled through tears and pain! and strife. ; While war has put him on the skids, j

He's fed a wife and seven kids And clothed and housed his growing brood And never made, a comment rude. He goes his humble, helpful way And spends his salary each day. The war-mad throng won't shout his name, But he's a hero just the same.

Men who voice sentiments akin to those des

cribed by Mr. Roth would take it as an insult if

they were accused of being disloyal to the United States, and yet their own admissions make them at heart enemies of the nation. The old, frayed and tattered arguments, "I can't see, why we had to enter this war," "President Wilson could have kept us out of war if he had cared to do so," "We are not going to get a thing out of this conflict, why should we care about what the European nations are doing," are mouthings that German spies and sympathizers like to hear. These thoughts fit in nicely with the peace propaganda which the Kaiser wants disseminated in America to undermine the morale of our soldiers and to weaken the national spirit of our civilians and non-combatants.

Let the American man, we mean the man who has no German blood in his veins, whose ancestors perhaps helped Washington win Independence, stop to ponder what is involved in his attitude toward war. Can't he see that the hour is past when an argument about the right of our entrance into the war is in order? We are in war now. Every patriot rallied around the flag as soon as Congress declared war. Our declaration-against the Imperial German government ended every argu-

Fats Why Save Them? From United States Food Administration.

OULD you eat half a pound of raw butter or relish

a couple of tallow candles? Hardly! That is why you pity the Arctic explorers who, you have read,

often do these very things. But they do not eat raw. butter and candles because they like the taste. They need these raw fats to supply their bodies with heat and energy. We could not live without fats, yet we have been great wasters of them. If this waste goes on we may see the prices of all fats, from butter and lard to grease drippings, soar to the prices of luxuries. -

Our allies can barely get enough fats to keep them going. Butter is very hard to get in Europe because the

feed for dairy herds is so scarce. Last year we had to ship to our allies three times as much butter as we did befor the war. As the war goes on we must ship them more and

more. Therefore, guard the fat supply in your home. Do not cook with butter, but do not deprive the children of butter on their bread. Dairy butter has food value vital to children. Save the grease drippings from the roasting pans. When you buy meats, don't let the. butcher trim off the fat. Do it yourself when you bring it home and utilize it. Use cotton-seed oil, "peanut oil, or corn oil for cooking. The hog supply of Europe is decreasing. Yet pork products are a military necessity, and our soldiers and allies must have an increased amount of them. While hogs in America have increased in number by 3.000,000 animals, yet their average weight when killed is decreasing. This means that we are not producing more pork products than usual. So we must save hog fat to the last scrap. Glycerine is made of fats, and thousands of tons of glycerine are being used to make explosives. Waste fat and you help endanger our supply of ammunition.

The New Method Backache of any kind is often caused

by kidney disorder, which means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter and uric acid accumulate

within the body in great abundance.

i over-working the sick kidneys, hence i the congestion of blood causes backache .' in the same manner as a similar con- ' gestion in the head causes headache. jYou become nervous, despondent, sick; 'feverish, irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids, and i lack ambition to do things.

A man from the back country in Missouri went to Jefferson City on business, and while there called at a bank to get specie for some notes he bad had on hand for a long time. They proved to be a defunct concern, and the teller told him they were good for nothing. "Wa'al. now, look a-here, mister," said Uncle Cy, "won't ye jist tell a feller how you can tell when money's a-goin' to spile?" "Isn't it funny?" said Gladys, curiously, to her chum. Phyllis. "Father has promised to give me a pair of diamond earrings if I will stop having music lessons. I wonder why?" But you've never worn earrings, have you?" "No. I shall have to get my ears pierced." , "That explains it." said Phyllis, an innocent smile curving her ruby lips. "He wants to pay you back in your own coin."

In the privacy of his home the vUlage butcher was telling his wife of the arrival of a new summer resident. "She came in today," he said with great enthusiasm.

A TWICE-TOLD TALE

One of Interest to Our Readers Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of a Richmond man is confirmed after three years. F. P. Brooks, 33 S. Fifth St., says: "I had pain in my back and sides that seemed like lumbago. I also had rheumatic twinges and my kidneys were out of order. 1 got Doan's Kidney, Pills at Luken & Co.'s Drug store and used them and they improved my condition in every way. OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mr. Brooks said: "The only time I have any trouble with my kidneys is when. I catch cold. I then use a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and always with good results." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brooks had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfjn-s.. Buffalo, N. Y. ADV.

BETTER THAN MOIL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards' OUve Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the cood

that calomel does, but have no bad after

effects. They don't injure the teetn like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and auickfar correct it. Why

cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and

a disordered liver. Take Dr. towards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy.' Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. 10c and 25c a box. Ail druggists.
