soldier transported to

y v jr France since we entered the war has gone to replace the Russian and Italian resistance which was destroyed by murderous German lies. Every lie told in Russia, in Italy, and in the United

States itself may well cost an mencan me mq

thft total mav destroy civilization.

This is a shameful tale, but there is one that

i.e. worse:

Every deadly, poisonous lie made in Germany to kill our boys is tolerated, accepted, and circulator! hv Americans. Without the help of Amer

icans Germany can not win this war.

We must wake up to these facts. Every person in this country, whether he be an American,

German-American, or any other kind or irac tional American, who tolerates, credits, or con

vpvs statements capable of restraining us from

giving our whole will, our whole heart, and our

whole strength to mis war u wjwor

traitorous work for Germany.

Tn. tint takft refucre in ienorance. We

must recognize treason when we see it, as clear

ly as we identify poison on our own shelves, and we must brand it with the skull and cross-bones so that all who come across it may shun and abhor it. It is a German-made lie that Germany is fighting a. defensive war. Germany has increased the territory and population under her dominion fourfold since the war began. It is a German lie that the Government and power of Germany are destined to rule the world. The Prussian principle is that the individual is the servant of the Government and exists for the Government.- It is mere despotism. Despotic power can not survive in the world. It is a German lie that Germany is not our most dangerous enemy. Germany has slaughtered our men, women, and babes when we were at peace with her. She has destroyed our property. She has denied our rights to the sea unless we should make war on her enemies. She has officially threatened to break down, our Monroe doctrine the wall that has kept war from the Western World. She has by law, directed her subjects to swear perjured allegiance to America, but to serve Germany under penalty when the test should come. She populated our country with spies, dynamiters, and incendiaries at a time when she claimed the privileges of a friend. Her friendship has been as deadly as her friendship for Belgium, for Russia, or for Italy. It is a German lie that any war measure impairs the freedom of Americans. ' Without war we have no freedom. Our alternative is German slavery a slavery that works the same with every nation, every people, every age, and every sx. No man may commit treason under the cloak of freedom of speech or of the press. He may not even further anarchy, immorality, or fraud by those means, much less

treason. No enemy may assail this Government under the protection of its laws. , It is a German lie that this a capitalistic war. Capital profited by this war so long as we were out of it, because capital and labor made and sold war goods at a great profit without tax or sacrifice. Capital and labor in this country would today be- the prey of Prussian conquest had not both combined against the common danger threatened by the Wolf of the World. It is a German lie that our war activities are mismanaged or characterized by neglect or incompetence. With over a million men encamped in plain sight of the American people and with every avenue of information open, no radical defects or abuses have been discovered. The best brains of the country are co-operating in this war and the accomplishments of the past year are conceded to be unprecedented in the history of the world. The German lie has unmistakable marks. It typically refers to some grevious wrong inflicted on the American people, so flagrant that were it operating it could not escape wide public knowledge and investigation. It tends to set the people against war in general, against this war in particular, and against one or all of the necessary means and methods of conducting it. It tends to sicken and terrorize people, to under, mine their confidence in the Government, and to arouse dissensions, animosities, and distrusts that will weaken the determination and the power of the people in the prosecution of this war. It promotes indifference or despair respecting the future and evasion or disobedience of the laws. Beyond all this it is privately circulated and is without a known or acknowledged author. Any statement respecting the war, meeting this definition, was made in Germany. It was made to help Germany kill, conquer, and rule Americans. The manufacture of these lies can not be stopped, but the trade-mark of treason can be branded on them wherever they appear. The American who repeats these transparent slanders is doing traitorous work and should know it. If he does not know it, he is a tool of Germany. He must choose to appear either a fool or a knave. The time for argument is gone. Our dead lie silent on the friends of France. Loyalty to them was more than life. We must strike and fight here, no less than abroad, until the free air they left is purged of Prussian pollution and the free land they died for is saved from the brutal machinerynof Prussian despotism.

The Children's Year

From the Chicago Tribune.

UR population has been recruited so largely from

immigration that we have paid very little attention to the national birth rate or the welfare of in

fants. It was easier to receive immigrants than to raise children. Even today the only large families are the families of immigrants or their immediate descendants. Our so-called better classes dislike or refuse to accept

the responsibility of parenthood. If this war does nothing else, it ought to teach us how

much our national solidarity suffers by our reliance on

immigration. Anti-American propaganda could not sur

vive if it would appeal only to the second and third generation or to those whose ancestry goes back to revolutionary days. Well, in uch cases we have to allow for

the inevitable exceptions. Yet we are naive enough to

think thact our problem is to bring nationalizing to foster

the American family.

The children's bureau of the department of labor is

making a special effort this year to. better conditions for infants. It is a movement which should receive the sup

port of every one who has the best interests of the na

tion at. heart. We cannot hope to rely on immigration to increase our national strength for many years to come, and it is fortunate that we cannot. But this circumstance makes it all the more important that we should pay especial attention to our native born children.

BY HAL POD. Dr. T. Henry Davis was discussing the war with some of his medical friends, and incidentally there arose the topic of the work that doctors are doing in the United States army. Dr. Davis has passed the eightieth milestone in his journey through life, and though he is old in years he boasts that he is still as spry as any of 'em. 'I wish the government wouiri tae me," the doctor said. "I may be old in years but I've got young ideas. If w eer got to chasing Huns I'd be like the twelve o'clock fellow in the nine o'clock town. I'll pet I could lick any three Huns on earth single handed." There are no hospitals in hell, no orphan asylums, no babies to murder that will sure be hell for the kaiser. Girls with sweethearts at the front are not so much afraid that they will fall in battle, but are more afraid they are apt to fall in love with some Red Cross nurse. ' don't want to get well, etc." When I read in the paper published over at Liberty about the Robb-Mcre wedding, I wonder if somebody isn't stealing a bride. When it comes to giving the bride away it is more blessed to give than receive. The guy over at Hicksville who is town marshal, justice of the peace, chief of police, mayor, chief of the flre department and truant officer, had better watch out or Mr. Hoover's liable to get him for hoarding. Whatever the kaiser is frying -to do he don't seem to bo doing it. Give her a little more gas, Bill. . Some day I'm going to go out and get on a near-beer souse. Boy, page Mr. Hoover! There's a Chink over at Muncie by the name of Chew On. I see where a minister up in Michigan is going to make a race for the senate. I do not presume that if he is elected he will ever be able to return to the ministry. His conscience probably would not permit it.

Members of the board of election

commissioners beard that two or three of the election judges in the outlying districts had gone to bed about mid

night and intended to get dp in the morning and finish the county. The

commissioners who were canvassing the vote were compelled to remain at

the court house until the count was completed, and most of them felt about like Lawrence Handley, who penned

the following ditty:

Gosh bang the sucker who lies In his

bed

And snores like a chick with the jip. While the canvassing board with a

curse and a growl Sits around with a stiff upper Hp-

They hope as they sit with a patience

supreme

That the sucker who sleeps while they

wait. Will find when he's passed to the bright shining shore

That St. Peter has Just locked the

gate.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair

If you want to laeep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash It with. i Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alliuli. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which 4 pure and enthely groeceless), is na-ch better than the most expensiv sonp or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injvre the hair. Simply moisten yaur hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will luake an. abundance of rich, creamy lather. ai' cleanses the h-- and scalp thoroaglly. Tie lather r'ases out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. Toe hair Cries quickly and evenly, and It leaves it fine and silKy, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. Yrn can gel mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to lact everyone in the- family far months. Adv.

The business concern of Kaiser, Von Gott and Company don't seem to be getting along very well. Strong competition in the form of a new and up-to-date concern. Wilson and Company, is slowly forcing the former to the wall.

To the Editor of The Palladium. I wish to take this method of correcting the false impression that has circulated among the people of Wayne county concerning the arrest and imprisonment of my husband. First of all, the entire affair was against my

wishes. It was the act of nearby neigh

bors. They were ihe ones that in

formed the authorities, and had an

other neighbor, who was a partial stranger, to sign the affidavit against

my husband, and not I. True enough.

my husband and I have had misunder

standings. How many families have

not? I consider it a calamity and an overact to imprison my husband in the manner that he was and the untrue notority the press as a result gave him. The public is not aware as I

am, how thoughtful, sincere and inter

ested he is in our home and three young children. Your paper gave out the impression that the neighbors had my husband arrested because he "beat me up," which is absolutely untrue. The trouble which we had I take as much or more of the blame. It was simply a case of uncultivated temper on the part of both of us. I realize as much as my husband's numerous friends do that it was a circumstantial affair. My husband being so unmercifully and unthoughtfully treated makes It-terrible for me to bear. But I am

sure he with his exceptional personal

ity and qualifications, will rise above

where hate, envy and poverty has temporarily placed him. We will remain loyal to each other, our children and home. And no outside influence will divide us. Which seemingly has been attempted. MRS. EVERETT THOMPSON.

A PATRIOTIC MOMENT The other night I was seated In a New. York theatre seeing a show. After the first act Mary Moore, An actress, came out to sell Liberty bonds. She wanted to raise $125,000 then and there. The time hastened on and the audieuce Was worked up to a fever heat. An hour passed and Miss Moore said: "Shall we go on with the show or go on Selling Liberty bonds?"

"Go on with the bonds!" yelled several

men.

Then everybody rose and clapped their

hands.

Most of them had paid $2.50 to see the

show: The subscriptions came in regularly. But not quite fast enough. It was then nearly 11 o'clock.

Miss Moore was having hard sledding

To get the last ten thousand.

Finally she said: "I don't know what

To call any man who will not buy a bond." "Just a moment; I'm coming down," Yelled some man In the balcony. In a moment be walked down the aisle. He waa a big, husky artilleryman,

Evidently from the far West. He turned And faced the audience, and said: "You say you don't know what to call A man who won't buy a Liberty bond? Well, I'll tell you easterners what we call Such a man out in my country We call him a damned yellow German!" The effect was almost electrical. At least forty men stood up and demanded Bonds of various denominations. "Now," said Miss Moore, "will every person In this house who has bought a bond please rise?" Every man and woman in the theatre rose. They gave three cheers, and then they filed Out of the theatre.- It was 11 o'clock. They had forgotten all about the play. ; Guess they're waking up! What? ,

A friend of mine told me yesterday

that he -never bragged. I'd like to

know what that is if it isn't bragging My wife was sick the other day; I thouaht that she would pass away.

I bought her a corset, at the drygoods

store:

She's in better shape now than she

was before. Flies are like some men I know. They go to the dogs.

Demas Coe contributes the following which he says was spoken by a Hoos-

ier farmer: "Hogs all sold, crops laid by; Corn all planted, state jione dry.'

DINNER 5 TOR IE J They had lost their way In their new and expensive car. "There's a sign, dear. Are we on the right road ?" With his flashlight he read, "To the Poorhouse." "Yes," he answered. "We're on the right road, and we didn't know it."

United States Senator Vardaman, so the story goes, once rented a plot of several acres to one of his neighbors. The land was to be planted in corn, and the cenator. then ex-governor, was to receive one-fourth. The corn was duly harvested, but the senator did not receive his fourth. Meeting the neighbor one day, he said: "Look here, Sam, have you harvested your corn?" "Yes, boss, long ago." "Well, wasn't I to get a fourth?" "Yes, sir, boss, that's the truth; but there wasn't no fourth. There was

just three loads, and they was mine."

Constipation also caused bloating, and last winter after several months of semi, invafidiani when J was unable to walk or exercise to any extent, the bloating became so bad that I could not breathe while lying down. It was just after the doctor relieved this acute condition that I began the use of Nujol, and the improvement in my health is more than I ever hoped to have, or the doctor thought possible. I only take occasional doses of Nfcjol now and my constipation is a thing of the past. The sore place in my bowels is apparently healed, since there is no irritation now. My health is better in every way, there is no bloatiag, and -no distress from gas, I recommend Nujol to every one I near complain of con sripatioo and its train or attendant ilk.? Yours truly, Newbury, Vermont. Mrs. Mary G. Bailey. Women! Suiter no longer from constipation. Use Nujci, tlte remedy that relieves even the most stubborn cases. Mrs. Bailey's letter proves that!

Washing Won't Rid Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;

apply it at night when retiring; use

enough to moisten the scalp and rub It

In gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more appll-; cations will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single eign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. . You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
