Thrift Stamps

About $10,000 worth of thrift and war sav

ings stamps have been sold in Richmond since

the campaign opened. Perhaps some of the citizens do not under

stand that these stamps are offered primarily to help the government raise several billion dollars

for war purposes. The thrift element is a sup

plementary thought to the main idea of raising

millions oi dollars by small deposits. If you keep in mind the patriotic factor, you

will invest some of the little change m your

purse in thrift stamps. The government pays good interest on the stamp's you buy. After you have bought $4 worth of thrift stamps and paid twelve cents extra, the government gives you a war savings stamp which bears interest. By 1923 your investment of $4.12 will bring you a return of $5. If you have a child in the family, it will be very patriotic to buy a war savings stamps for $4.12, let it accumulate interest for five years, and then present it to the little one when it has attained its full value of $5. Boys and girls may help the government win the war by buying thrift and savings stamps. A little self-denial now and then, a little extra work to earn twenty-five cents, and you will soon have earned enough to exchange your thrift savings stamps for a war savings stamp. Parents are asked by the government to encourage their children in investing their savings in the stamps. It will teach them valuable lessons of thrift and inculcate the principle of self-denial for a good cause.

Stiffening Our Individual Morale When "things come our way," when success attends every venture, when we are not harassed by obstacles, we are in good fettle and high spirits. We are joyous and happy. We wear a smile and have the "glad hand" ready for all of our friends. But let adversity strike us, let our ventures fail, let us be forced to fight grimly and against odds that seem overwhelming, and our morale weakens. Then our sweet disposition sours. We become peevish, discouraged, jealous of our more fortunate friends, prone to complain of our bitter lot. . Few of us realize that our characters really show themselves in their true light when we are struggling against untoward handicaps. Then

the real stuff out of which we are made asserts itself. If we cannot accept hardships and selfdenial with a smile and a complacent spirit, it is pretty conclusive evidence that our moral fiber is not as tough and strong as we deceived ourselves into believing it was in the days of prosperity. If a person cannot accept a reverse without complaining against his fate, it shows that his morale has been broken and weakened. His character needs readjustment. He needs to learn that adversity is not a disgrace but a school in which moral strength is developed and matured.

Pan-Germanism Not Popular

Adele N. and Russell Phillips in the Atlantic Monthly.

AN-GERMANISM'S stronghold is in The aristocratic

clasp, the military contingent, and among the upper middle class the class whose minor titles roll

so grandiloquently on the tongue, who have grown rich on war profits. In spite of the "Ueber Alles" refrain, PanGermanism never did have a hold on the lower class. The common people were too completely thackled by the rigorous regulations of the despotic nationalism to dream of "places in the sun" or colonies across the sea. They

were taught to obey, not encouraged to think of something bound to come to pass by God's natural law and the kaiser's. It was not until the first stages of the war, the almost successful dash to Paris, that the common people began to slap one another on the back and predict German supremacy. Then one heard on the streets the computations of time when the mailed fist would subjugate the

world at large Paris in six weeks, Russia in a couple of months, the hated island kingdom in mere days, and then who could tell? the rest of the world inspired by fear, would submit willingly.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT. Build your business as you would a building, starting from the ground on a good foundation. Honesty, good hope and good nature are the best tools.

Faith walks into the work to win, but doubt sits back and waits until the grain of mustard seed has grown to its full power. The proprietor . pays you salary out of the profits you make for him, and your promotion comes as you produce; you're "caned" if you can't make good. When my plans are overthrown and I drink from sorrow's cup, "don't cry," say "get up," be a man full grown! Borrow when you have to, and borrow when you want to, that you may put a business deal through or improve real estate or increase your working capital. Read the Want Ads today.

Dinner

S tor i e s

In olden times it was customary for an officer to go round the towns and villages to see that the inhabitants had no weapons of war. On one of

these tours an officer called at the house of a worthy Scotch couple and put the question to the old man: "Any weapons of war in this house?" After scratching his head Sandy looked at his better half and said: "Oped, aye; pit oot your tongue, guidwife."

TOBACCO KITS TO FRANCE DELAYED

If you haven't received a postal from some Sammy in France, acknowledging the receipt of a tobacco kit. for which you paid, through the Palladium, don't feel worried. According to information received Saturday from the American Tobacco company, which sent the tobacco kits, all of the kits were to be delivered as Christmas presents. Postals acknowledging the receipt of a kit ought to be- received by every contributor

some time within a month or six weeks. The delay has been caused by the congested condition of traffic in France, according to the information received here.

"Why are the stars so dim tonight?" she rood softly. "Because your eyes are so much brighter," he whispered, pressing her little hand. They wne engaged then. "I wonder how many telegraph poles it would take to reach from here to the F.tars?" she murmured, musingly. "One, if it were long enough," he growled. "Why don't you talk common sense?" ' That was after they were married. "War," cried the liverish man, in the smoking room, "is a curse and a disgrace, an abomination and a blot on civilization! War is enough to make a decent man go and hang

himself!" He arose and left the room, his face showing signs of strong emotion. "Gentleman feels rather strong on the subject." said a commercial traveler. "Lost some near relative?" "He "ave!" replied a man. grimly. "uia 'avt lnnt. his wife's first hus

Fight to get It and keep il Fight fight day in and day out to prevent being overtaken by ills and ails. Keep wrinkles from marring the cheek and the body from losing its youthful appearance and buoyancy. Fight when ill-health is coming with its pallor and pains, defects and declining powers'. Fight to titay its course and drive it off. But fight intelligently. Don't fight without weapons that can win the day for without the intelligent use of effective weapons the pallor spreads and

weakness grows and a seeminglystrong man or woman ofttimes becomes a pray to ills after all. You will not find this class of persons in the hypoferrin ranks. No unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopy persons in that line. It is a hale, hearty, robust aggregation of quick-steppers who

view life in a joyous frame of mind and are mentally and physically equal to any emergency. Hypoferrin stands for sound body and sound min i it is the invigorating tonic of the times powerful and unsurpassed as a health restorer, vitalizer and health preserver. Fight to hold the vigor of a sound body with hypoferrm or to stay the process of decay and restore health and strength you win. This tonic of amazing, wonder-working properties has been approved by physicians as a restorer and safeguard of health. It is a thoroughly scientific preparation of the very elements necessary to tone up the stomach and nerves, to build strong, vital tissue, make pure blood, firm flesh and solid, active, tireless muscles. Hypoferrin contains those mighty strength-producing agents, lecithin-

and iron peptonate. in a form best adapted to benefit the body and its organs. Its ingredients are absolutely necessary to the blood. In nine cases out of ten a run-down condition, sallow pale complexions that "all in" feeling and frail bodies are due to lack of lec-Ithin-and-iron peptonate in the system. - Your mental and physical strength and endurance depends upon a lecithin-and-iron peptonate laden blood; steady, dependable nerves and a healthy stomach. With these you can meet life at anv angle.

This wonder tonic, hypoferrin, which is as perfect as science can get to nature meets every essential demand of the human organism. It is saf and sure and a boom to run-down, wornout men and women. Hypoferrin means nature's own way of bringing color to the cheeks strength to the body and Keeping the vigor and buoyancy of youth. The powder and paint way of effecting beauty is not needed by hypoferrin' women and girls. Their blood, filled with nature's beauty stores, creates conditions that give firmness and grace to the body and the glow of health to the cheeks. No need of going through life sickly and always feeling miserable in this age of medical science. Join the hypoferrin ranks. It puts into you the springy snap and vigor you ought to have and puts life into your body and mind that inspires the confidence that, you confront the world on an equal footing with anyone. Hypoferrin may be had at your druggist's or direct from us for $1.00 per package. It is well worth the price. The Sen tan el Remedies Co., Cincinnati,

It always is the neighbor's kid That drives you half insane. AN EPITAPH (Contributed "Here lies a poor woman who always was tired. She lived in a house where the help was not hired. Her last words on earth were 'Dear friends, I am going To where there's no cooking, no washing, or sewing; But everything there is exa.it to my wishes, . For where they don't eat there's no washing dishes. I'll be where loud anthems will always be ringing, But having no vince, I'll get out of the singing. Don't mourn for me now. Don't mourn for me, never; I'm going to do nothing forever and ever,"

The modern coal order: Please send five pieces of egg coal, one ten-pound piece off Pocohontas and one-half pint Solvay coke. If La Follette gets damages from all the newspapers which have criticised him the past few months, he will be able to finance a little world war of his own.

Among the 1,500 applications received at the war department for appointment as watchmen or guards at the building now in course of construction in Washington was a patriotic woman from Tennessee, who described herself "as strong, healthy, tactful, discreet, fair judgment, un

usually quick to think, and without a nerve."

Keep in mind the fact that Bevo, being a soft drink, will freeze at 32 Fahrenheit just like any other non-alcoholic beverage. Be careful about this, as freezing affects the rich fullness of that delightful Bevo flavor which goes so particularly well with a meal or a bite to eat. If Bevo were merely a summer beverage this warning might not be so timely but, as all who drink it know Bevo is an all-year-'round drink Everybody enjoys it for more than just its thirst-quenching qualities the pleasure it gives comes from its flavor, purity and wholesome nutrjtiousness the enjoyment of these qualities is independent of time or season. To get full pleasure out of Dutch lunches, Welsh rarebits, oysters, clams, lobsters, sausage, cheese and many other such delicious edibles, Bevo should be included. You will find Bevo at inns, cafeterias, restaurants, groceries, department and drug stores, soda fountains, dining cars, steamships, canteens, soldiers homes, navy, and other places where refreshing soft drink beverages are sold. Your grocer will supply you by the case. Demand the genuine have the bottle opened in front of you see that the seal is unbroken covering the crown top and see that the crown top bears the Fox.
