The Next Liberty Loan Drive Confidence is the backbone of the business structure. Let industry and commerce lose confidence in the continued prosperity of the country and a panic sets in. Let a credit man lose confidence in the ability of a customer and the latter is denied an extension of time to meet his obligations. Again, confidence is the principle on which new enterprises are based. If capital has confidence in an invention, or in the development of a natural resource, or in a new enterprise, it will advance money to boost the project. Again, if an individual is reliable and honest, if he begets confidence in the community, he will have no trouble in borrowing money to build a home. So also in national affairs. Because about nine million citizens had confidence in the government they advanced millions and millions of dollars for war credits. They over-subscribed the second Liberty loan because they knew that the bonds were issued by a thoroughly reliable party, abundantly able to pay both interest and principal. The confidence of the country in the financial strength of the United States has increased rather than diminished in the last months. Hitherto we were ignorant of the wealth of our country. Five years ago we would have been amazed if the government had asked for billions of dollars and doubted the ability of the country to raise the money. But achievement has demonstrated both our willingness and our ability to buy government bonds. Our confidence in ourselves has confirmed our confidence in our government and begotten a determination to back our government in its financial campagins. We know that our government's bonds' are our bonds. We are integral parts of the government. It represents us, not a dynasty. Its officers are of- j ficers because we said they could be officers. They are spending a billion dollars a month for war purposes because we say, "spend it." This feeling that we are part of the government and that the bond issues originate in the power we give the government, makes us feel friendly to them and impels us to buy them. We know that the bonds are as good as the government itself.. If the bonds become value-i

less, then our government has gone to pieces, and we who constitute the government are lost. If the government cannot redeem the bonds, then the money we have in our pockets is without value, for its purchasing power has become nil. If the government goes bankrupt, then we individually are financially broke, and all the money we have invested in securities and lands or deposited in the banks is of no avail. A German victory would imperil all classes of citizens. Farmers will be hit harder than artisans because they have investments in land upon which the Kaiser can readily levy taxes and convert to his use. The artisan has little real estate. His little home will be of no value to the conqueror. But rich farm lands, live stock and farming implements are tangible property than can be grabbed by a ruthless foe. Even now the farmer is suffering from the German menace. Submarines are destroying the ships that are carrying the goods which the farmer produces. The Treasury Department sees in ruthless submarine warfare a menace which the farmer must overcome by buying his share of Liberty bonds. Much of the money raised by the bond issues is used for the construction of ships that carry farm products. A recent bulletin asks the farmer to think about this: "The Government is spending in the neighbor

hood of a billion dollars a month in the conduct of the war against the German plan of life. A great part of this money and a great measure of the effort of American forces abroad are being directed against an evil vitally important to the American farmer piracy of the sea. The forthcoming Liberty Loan will give every farmer of the district an opportunity to fight this influence which jeopardizes the shipping of his products to foreign shores. "Every bond he buys means just so many shots at the submarines whose mission is to destroy the vessels carrying his goods. Not only will the Liberty Loan afford him this opportunity of self-defense, but it will give him the chance to go on record as a practical supporter of a Government, whose ideals are in open and undisguised rebellion against the methods of the ruling classes of Germany and Austria. Moreover, the Loan will offer him a profitable and safe' investment and go toward opening and maintaining new markets for his goods when the sword is sheathed and the glow of peace settles upon the earth. "The purchase of Liberty bonds will provide a police force in the shape of destroyers to ward off the U-boat pirates intent upon sinking the

vessels that are carrying the American farmer's goods to Europe. Common business sense should prompt the farmer to go 'the limit' in aiding the Government in its just war against the pirates of the sea."

The Food Administration Says: WHY IS IS NECESSARY TO TO EAT LESS SUGAR -Before the war France, Italy and Belgium raised all their own sugar. Great Britain bought sugar from Germany. Now France, Italy and Belgium cannot raise much sugar because their. men are fighting and Great Britain cannot buy sugar where she used to buy it. All must now get sugar where we get it, and there is not enough to go around unless we save. This has been proved by the scarcity of sugar here at home recently.

'Moment

. Conquest and Kultur "Our claim to a great position in the world may certainly lead to a war similar to the Seven Years' War. Still, we shall be as victorious as was Prussia's hero king. That is my absolute and joyous conviction. A great war will unify and elevate the people and destroy the diseases which threaten the national health. The latent forces within our armies require arousing. They will make it unconquerable in hard times. "Our future lies in our own hands. Small men will talk finance and whine that we can not afford it. We can find the necessary funds easily," in case of need, by loan. Germany does not lack money. What we want is a firm will to greatness. Then only shall we obtain greatness. Everyone must do his best. All true Germans must gather round the Emperor, ready to give their blood and their treasure for the honor, the greatness, and the future of the German nation. 'Through war to victory.' " F. von Bernhardt Britain as Germany's Vassal (1912). Anxieties Prove Untrue From The New York Times. THESE must be sorrowful days for the pacifists of all breeds except those who are consciously as well as unconsciously pro-German. That is because they are obliged to observe, and even to admit, when sufficiently pressed, the ludicrously complete failure of all their prophesies of terrible results to follow the subjection of our youth to military training. Such training, all the pacifists knew, brutalizes ev

erybody on whom it is inflicted. It fills the man in uniform with an insolent contempt for civilians, deprives him of whatever mannerliness and consideration for others he may have had before his demoralization began, and leads to a constant succession of incidents like the one that gave fame to the crippled shoemaker of Zabern. These things and their like we were told a thousand times before the conscription law went into effect told so often and so confidently that not a few of us who did not quite believe them more than half feared they were true aad were reconciled to the turning of so many of our young mn into soldiers only because desperate cases require desperate measures. But for some months, now, we have been walking through streets where every third or fourth man, it seemed, had been trained for war, and yet never, or next to never, has there been presented the spectacle of a soldier misbehaving himself in even the mildest of the innumerable ways that were apparently. On the contrary, these products of militarism apparently have been as much improved over the common run of us in the practice of the gentler arts of human intercourse as they have been in physical bearing. Of the expected roughness not a trace is to be observed on the part of the uniform wear

ers. With curious unanimity they leave all that to their contemporaries who know not discipline as taught in the camps, and they are teachers of courtesy, unselfishness and thoughtful regard to all who can profit by good example. This must pain the pacifists deeply. To think that they, who know so much, should know so much that isn't so!

t ON FOODLESS DAYS

The codfish is a handsome bird, W ith plumage fair to see. He is a true and steadfast friend. And makes a hit with me. He lingers 'round the grocery store, His atmosphere's immense. To meet him once is but to feel His presence decades hence. He is a stronger in the land His home is far away, Amid the ocean's breaking waves And headlands' foamy spray. He's more than just an ornament His mission's understood. Whene'er the lid is clamped down tight He takes the place of food. "The boys are doin' a lot of shovelin'

I over there in the trenches, no doubt,"

remarked Old Man Hicks, "but I'll be dingswizzled if they ain't got it easier than a lot of fellers over here that live on a corner lot, with three feet of snow fallin' every other day.

In a certain newspaper office in New York there is a bulletin board bearing the following sign: ON THE FIRING LINE. NEWS OF OUR MEN. Nine men have been fired from the staff since the sign was put up. Those who are left don't consult the bulletin board any more. They are superstitious.

DRINK HOT TEA

! FOR A BAD COLO

Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of this hamburg tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink p teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore harmless. (Adv.)

Cleveland. O. No wife has a right to let hr husband drink; for alcoholism is a disease and a drunkard is a sick man. says Druggist Brown of Cleveland. A woman can cure this disease stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would spend on liquor in the same time. The habit can be broken and the disease cured. Thousands of cases prove it and every community lias its reformed drunkard. Druggist Brown says the right lime to stop the drink habit is at Its beginning1. Left to run its course It will deaden the fine sensibilities of the man you love. Begin with the first whiff of liquor on his breath, but don't despair if he has already gone from bad to worse until he has become a rumsoaked sot. Druggist Brown knows the curse of strong drink for he himself has been a victim. A loving sister, without his knowledge or consent, rescued him from a drunkard's grave and for ten years kept her secret. She saved him

from drink, rescur-d him from his own depraved, besotted self by giving him a secret remedy, the formula of an old German Chemist. To pay his debt to her and to help other victims out of the murk and mire he has made the formula public. Druggists everywhere dispense It daily as Prepared Tescum Powders, put up in doses. Get it of your own druggist and drop a powder twice a day in tea. coffee, milk or other drink. Soon liquor does not taste the same, the craving for it disappears, and lo. one more drunkard has been saved and knows not when or why he lost his taste for drink. Warning Note: Tescum should he given only where it is desirable to destroy all taste for alcohol and all pleasure In its use. Those who encourage moderate drinking should not give it until the so-called moderate drinker roaches the danger line as most of them do In time. Druggist Brown has such confidence in prepared Tescum Powders that he personallv guarantees results or he will refund out of his own pocket the price charged by the dispensing druggist. It is sold In Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite and other druggists. Adv.

THE WELCOME GUEST HAS A GOOD STOMACH

Not What You Eat but What You Digest Tells the Story. Eat Any- j thing if You Follow With a j Stuart's Dytpepsia Tablet '

The Man or Woman Who Can Eat Heartily and Not Fade Away Is the Welcome Guest Anywhere. Many people just hate to eat in company. They prefer to crawl into some by-place for a dyspeptic's plate of molly coddle. . Business men often resort to this form of weakness under the belief they can work better. But it isn't what you eat but what you digest that counts. Some stomachs can't digest even a glass of milk. So they simply keep on feeding dyspepsia and get gas, water brash, sour risings and so on that the better informed and hearty eaters entirely avoid. This they do by using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many physicians prescribe them for stomach troubles and digestive disorders. They are sold at every drug store everywhere, price 50 cents a box. Ask your druggist more about them Adv.

DINNER 5TORIEJ "Don't move or I'll shoot." "All right, my friend." replied Mr. Dubwaite, who was surprised by a burglar in his house. "Would you mind if I called my' wife downstairs?" "Trying to play a trick on me?" "No. She's been expecting a visit from a burglar for the last twenty years, and I just wanted her to see what one looks like." Much has been heard of late concerning cipher messages; but if you were in raid-Atlantic and wished to send a "wireless" to your husband and tell him with all respect to economy that the weather was perfect, your health good, food satisfactory, cabin comfortable, passengers congenial, what cipher would you invent? Could it be packed into two words? A lady who crossed from New York lately, on some war work mission, -did the trick. The husband she had left behind she knew would be playing poker every evening at the club, so she chose a time when he would just be in the thick of it to send him the all-Inclusive message of perfect satisfaction: "Royal Flush." which is the best hand a poker player can hold.

Gasoline Will Be Cheaper Is Qur Prediction Because every available storag cp?.ce for gasoline is now filled the government is urging the more extensive use ot gasoline both to keep it from going to waste and also to assist in relieving the railroad congestion. Why Will Chevrolet Be the Most Popular Car? The model "Four Ninety now more than ever before, is entitled to the term "economy car," for it embodies everything necessary for enjoyable motoring with the least expense. We know that a motorist, in ordr to enjoy peace of mind and satisfaction, must own a car which possesses all of the essentials for comfort and convenience. If any essential As missing, the loss is felt, for it entails extra labor and effort. It is these essentials that we find supplied in the new series "Four Ninety." From a mechanical standpoint, this model has reached a standard of excellence that is not surpassed in any motor car. Vanadium steel is used for every part that requires unusual strength. It has ample power, proper spring suspension, correct weight, smart appearance, well finished. It has unusual records in gasoline economy. The fact that there are nearly one hundred and fifty thousand Model "Four Ninety' cars in use is ample proof that this model is doing the work demanded of it in a most satisfactory manner.
