In the days of the Civil war the determination of Americans to deal with

the arch-traitor of the world and those

In sympathy with him in the good

old-fashion effective way.

A language that fosters German ideas and inculcates in our children any respect for German promotion is

one of the most insidious means of

presenting German ideas of superior lty that can well be imagined. Ger

man literature Is not essential to education, culture or refinement, and I can produce its equal in any line and surpass it ' in most, whether of art, sculpture, music, science or any sort

of classical production. I do not seem to hear Mrs. Foulke nor Mr. T. B. Jenkins making any moan over the sacking of Louvain, Belgium, by the Germans or calling Richmond's attention to the insensate rage of the Germans when they destroyed the priceless library of that city. And this outrage was not perpetrated for the sake of preserving traditional loyalty of the German peoples to their country but was an exhibition of wanton vandalism characteristic of their attitude toward all who oppose them, and yet-'-because we, here in America dare to repudiate the German kultur among us, we are called "silly" and "prejudiced" by a man who has the effrontery to announce himself as a "pure strain" American, and a woman who imagines herself immune while promoting the kaiser's interests. How do you appear before the masses who are the blood and sinews in this conflict and before Uncle Sam's soldiers who have offered their lives that you may continue to knit sweaters in security while mourning the destruction of the German language among us and voicing your indignation at the hanging of the kaiser even in effigy?

Whatever else may be eald, those who participated in that joyous event were Americans All, with a "righteousness that exceeded the righteousness of the Pharisee." Why are Germans and German lit

erature defended by you when the rest of America is doing her utmost to awaken American sentiment and to solidify American opinions and principles that are as vitally necessary to our success in this war as bandages, sweaters, guns and ammunition? Nay, if all these come not In unity and force all other preparations lose half its power. Public utterances which denounce the object lessons that impress every American child and adult, with the supreme necessity for unanimity of thought, purpose and preparation places you in an equivocal light and shows a puerile Americanism which every patriot has the right to repudiate. MRS. W. W. ZIMMERMAN.

At Home, Feb. 18, 1918. Mr. Herbert Hoover.

Dear Sir At a meeting of our club as usual, the latest development in

food conservation was talked about bine it with other grains, or serve it the palate, nor appeal to the reason of

The methods of using wheat flour and

its substitutes, and - the difficulty of adapting strict rules so that our families would be properly nourished, was a topic of conversation. The majority of the women of our nation are endeavoring to comply with the directions you glre from time to time, as to the best manner of conserving food, and we wish to help to tbe best of our ability. It is evident, however, that we can be of as much service to our country and to the interest of the Allies, if we could be granted more initiative, and be pardoned if we consider tbe taste and pleasure of our individual families, in the combination of the materials we are requested to use. We cannot understand why It would not tend for efficiency, for you to state

the amount of wheat flour per size of

family, it would be right for a housewife to use, and permit her to com-i

Dure, and use tne suDstituies you

recommend, in any way her judgment distates. instead of being obliged to adulterate tbe wheat loaf with corn meal or other ingredients. Now, for example, my husband cheerfully adapts himself to the conservation program in mist cases, but he rebels when wheat and corn meal are mixed. He" will eat corn bread in moat any form, in an unadulterated state and call It good. And the same way with wheat We can use barley, rye, -flee, etc., and eliminate wheat to the extent you consider necessary, but, O so much more comfortably and efficiently if we may use our own judgment as to time and manner of serving. If the food prepared does not suit

those for whom it is "provided, aud thereby is not used, what then? I suppose the women are wasteful. Remember, please, that house-wives from times long past have aimed to set before their men food prepared to suit their taste, and do not handicap us more than the situation Indicates. Respectfully yours, to help win the war, ALLIS M. I. SMITH. R. R. B, Cambridge City.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ECZEMA AND PILES

There are so many flabby minded people in the world whose perceptions are no deeper than the surface culture acquired by the bland utterances common to social intercourse and whose standards of the eternal fitness of things are based entirely on the social activities in which "We and I" are the principal limelights.

That the Red Cross and other or'

eanlzations are doing a sacred and

necessary work is conceded and has always received the financial support

and encouragement of all those who ; could not for various good reasons otherwise participate in them but their other avenues quite as honorable and work just as necessary done by those whose patriotism is of the sort that gives due honor to any and

all generally recognized means that aids in this war. There are only twp kinds of people in America now loyalist and pro-German and the loyalist does not censure and denounce the general methods of defense and protection used by the whole country. "Really patriotic people" destroy the seed of sedition they don't wait until it develops into a two-fisted mansize proposition. "May be loyals" who pick at Americans have no status in war atmosphere tense with the high pressure produced by a realization of facts. "Real preparedness" don't mouth platitudes while the other fellow is lighting a time fuse behind his back. Sentiment in war without the energy to back it up don't stop the German war-machine from its regular occupation of blowing up manufacturing plants, poisoning meat, instigating strikes, firing ship yards and perfecting a scheme for our complete demoralization right here in America. When Satan instigated a rebellion against God and seduced tbe angels with his nefarious scheme, God was "high minded" enough to throw the

I eaw your ad and tgot one box and I owe you many thanks for the good it has done me. There isn't a blotch on my head now, and I

Not a Bite of Breakfast Until You Drink Water

Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness , and keeps us fit.

NOTICE When we do out bit we feel more like it. On this basis all members of Woodard Lodge of Odd Fellows are requested to be at the next meeting to assist in arranging for a good time at our annual roll call meeting. Committee says: "A regular war banquet will be a part of the program. This don't mean chicken either, so says Harry Gilbert."

COMMIT I t. K.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible material, which If not completely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomain-llke poisons are formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can't get feeling right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick beadache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sanitation. This will co6t very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject. Adv.

foremost mills of the country each year eliminate certain patterns to make room for new numbers. The quality of the rugs or their appearance is in no way affected. These rugs are all worth every penny of their regular selling price, especially in these times of scarcity of rug materials, but as long as they remain in stock they offer you an opportunity to make a large saving on their purchase.
