A Liberty Loan Thought The Germans may be war weary, butthey are willing to pit their endurance against ours, and if we show the slightest sign of weakening, their courage will rise in proportion. This is a struggle of endurance and strength. If the Germans can pull through the winter stronger than the Allies, Ludendorff next spring will make another bid for victory. If the Allies have the pep, push and persistence to grow stronger as the war grows longer, there's nothing can stop them. The enthusiasm and endurance of the soldier is in direct proportion to the pitch of enthusiasm and the power of endurance at home. If you're war weary and tired, a set of jaded and pessimistic boys are going over, the top. Moral To put pep into the boys, put your money into Liberty Loan bonds on September 25, 26 and 27. ,

Alsace-Lorraine It will be recalled that an American field army,vready for independent operations, is stationqd in the district south of Verdun, on a section of the front closest to the Rhine. Our troops 'have taken over the strip of German soil seized by the French at the outset of the war. Few

changes have been made in the lines on this

front, owing to the major operations of the Ger

mans in Flanders and northern France, which

forced the Allies to accept battle on that frontier,

and prevented the French from ousting the Ger

mans in the easily defended mountain positions

of the Lorraine region.

What disposition Marshal Foch intends to

make of the main American army on that front

remains unrevealed. These alternatives present themselves : Either a gigantic thrust into south

ern Germany will be made with the Americans as a battering ram, or the greater part of this army is already on its way to Flanders to help crush decisively the crumbling Hindenburg line. Admittedly the American field army will not be permitted to lie idle while Marshal Foch has Ludendorff on the run. Ignoring for the present the latter alternative, let us present the arguments of the critics who believe that the American army may strike through Lorraine. Alsace-Lorraine, roughly described, is the territory bounded on the east by the Rhine, on the west by the Vosges mountains, on the north by Luxembourg and on the south by Switzerland. Its area is about 5,604 square miles, its population almost 1,900,000. It contains excellent iron ore and coal deposits. Germany took AlsaceLorraine after the Franco-Prussian war. A large portion of the inhabitants never became reconciled to the new regime and took advantage of every opportunity to show its love for France and its hatred for the conquerors. An invading army therefore will be welcomed by many thousands of the inhabitants. The historic invasions of France from east of the Rhine have come through the valleys that lead to Paris from the northeast. Verdun,

Nancy, Luneville and Belfort are the French fortresses that today guard these gateways. They are nearer to the Rhine than any section of the western front, and while negatively they guard the French frontier, positively they also constitute a constant menace to the Germans, for if foreign armies in the past could pour into France through the valleys which these fortresses guard, allied armies today can also use them as avenues to debouch on the Germans. In the last 125 years, three invasions of France came through the Lorraine entrance. In 1792 Brunswick, operating from Coblentz on the Rhine, came through the Argonne region to Valmy. In 1814 an army operating against Napoleon, starting south of Mayence on the Rhine, came through the Metz region to Chalons, and in 1870 Moltke' came through the Metz gateway. Pershing's field army, ready to strike and powerfully re-inf orced every thirty days with between 00,000 and 300,000 men, operating on the line Verdun-Nancy-Luneville, constitutes a menace to the Rhine country south of Coblentz, which the Germans cannot ignore, no matter how badly pressed they,ara on the northern extremity of their line. Even if the American army is passive, its presence in the south prevents the Germans from withdrawing reserves woefully needed in the north, and it is contributing its share to the mighty battle which Marshal Foch is pressing home along the Hindenburg line. War Hints War Helps War Duties By George Ade We used to think that Niagara Falls was some splash of water and the Grand Canyon was quite a hole in the ground and a national debt of two billion dollars was a lot of money. That was before the days of moving 300,000 soldiers a month or launching 100 ships in one day or spending a billion dollars as if it were a Canadian quarter. a

We are now thinking in large numbers and huge sums. We are beginning to know our own capabilities and resources. The registration of September 12th is going to be a whale of an undertaking but it must be accomplished without the slip of a cog or one whimper of complaint. After the "18 to 45" job is out of the way, we can get ready for another Liberty Loan drive. The Indiana State Council calls for a. short campaign and high speed from the start. It doesn't take a simon-pure patriot very long to make up his mind when his country calls for help. Have the wheat money and the oats money all ready to convert into bonds. Have you noticed that the Liberty Bonds are in demand at high prices ?

"How's work among the savages?" asked the c&urch member. "All right. But In sending us food

supplies I wish you wouldn't send any more sausages in strings," said the missionary, who was home on a furlough. "Why not?" "They won't eat anything they can wear around their necks."

Don't forget that the unskilled labor of Indiana is now asked to stop trifling with side-issues and get busy on war contracts. Don't be mowing your lawn while a house is on fire across the street.

An elderly person in neat, but somewhat threadbare clothing, entered a fashionable restaurant and ordered an expensive but discriminatingly chosen dinner, with a bottle of wine and a good cigar to follow. When he had finished he intimated to a waiter that he wished to speak to the manager. Promptly the manager came. "I trust everything has been satisfactory?" he inquired. "Everything," stated the older man "has been quite satisfactory. It was. however, of another matter I. wished to speak to you. Do you recall that about a year ago a man well past the prime of life came in here and ordered such a meal as the one I have just enjoyed, and when he finished he told you that he had no money with which to pay the bill, and you called two of your assistants and had that old gentleman thrown bodily into the street?" "Yes," stated the manager, regretfully, "I do recall the incident you mention. I am sorry ihat it should have happened, but we have to protect ourselves against . imposition. Nevertheless, I confess that the thing has disturbed my conscience ever since. But why do you speak of it now?" "Because" and here the venerable perse rose "because" his tone was soft and low "because, my dear sir, I am afraid I will have .to trouble you again."

In order that war industries may steam ahead

you and all of your neighbors must save coal.

Clean your furnaces and stoves, keep them in repair and study economical firing. Don't overheat the premises. The cold weather isn't here yet but it is proper to have the heating plants

and the good resolutions all tuned up in advance.

How many teaspoonfuls in one pound of sugar? If the spoon is just level full, about 96 to the pound. If you are trying to limit table consumption to one pound a month, you could use three skimpy spoonfuls each day. - The rounded spoonful runs about 48 to the pound or one and a half daily. The heaping spoonful averages

about 32 to the pound. That would be one a day.

If you are heaping the spoon more than once a

day you are using some other fellow's sugar.

Cereal Food That Contains Its Own Sugar Grape-Ntuts is utterly unlike any other prepared cereal. Take a handful of its golden-brown granules and hold it in a strong light. You will see little shining particles on each granule a result of the Grape-Nuts process" of cookery, which turns the starch of wheat and barley into actual sugar. The sweet, nutty flavor of Grape-Nuts requires no added sugar and where fresh milk or cream is not obtainable condensed or evaporated milk fits in finely. No sugar is needed, and but little cream or milk, and this makes Grape-Nuts a very desirable cereal these saving days.

Acids in Stomach Cause indigestion Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat.

Medical authorities state that near., ly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating-, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoouful In a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the roost efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. Adv.

Why not call them saupermen? Now that Enrico is married, he will probably continue on the even tenor of his way. One thing we refuse to worry about is a consular report that Switzerland is badly in need of devitalized gluten. One thing about efficiency which gives it a black eye is the fact that it talks to much. Director McAdoo will allow short wek-end excursions on the railroads. But why try to resurrect the poor old Sunday excursion when it has been thoroughly knocked out by universal consent? The person who has, in the past, enjoyed to the limit the Sunray excursion while riding on the thain with a stout lady's elbow in his left eye, a cinder in his right, a lunch basket perspiring on his knees, a tething baby hanging in the valise rack over his head, and himself enjoying a thirst which would drive Mohammed to the mountains, will hope that Sunday excureioning will not be compulsory. The Spanish Inquisition is a thing of the past. Let the Sunday excur

sion remain to keep It company in the archives of history. Civilization must advance, not retreat.
