Why

Buy Victory Bonds?

When the war was in progress Americans

gave freely from motives of patriotism. In their

enthusiasm they did not stop to consider any selfish ends."

But in giving to the war they really made an investment for themselves. Every dollar put into government bonds is so much invested in one's own name for one's own benefit. Every dollar thus given comes back to the giver with emoluments in the form of interest, credit or increased opportunity. So, in the course of time when the impulse had subsided somewhat, it dawned in upon us that what we advanced to the government was not a gift at all, but a loan with the promise of interest. We were in fact the beneficiaries of our own philanthropy. And now with the war over all forces are engaged in bringing industry back to normal, we are better situated mentally to consider the merits of our giving, if we choose to call it giving. Let us call it, not a gift, but an investment. You

are not giving, but investing money, when you have a guilt edged guarantee of repayment with 18 to 21 per cent dividends. Liberty Loan bonds, for example, represent a sound investment. The life of industry is what is saved over and above the living cost. The surplus of the people's savings is the available capital upon which industry feeds. Therefore, every man contributes to industry in proportion as he saves, and he shares in the benefits of industry to tha extent of his contribution. If nobody saved anything the country would be without capital and industry would die a natural death. That is one reason for thrift. Mnncv frpolv snpnt. is immediately distributed

fcJBrf-w.-w - and serves only a momentary purpose. But sav-

ings placed on deposit is put to work at interest and enables another to use it for permanent good. The borrower reinvests it one way or another, usually by putting it into improvements and thus contributing something to the upbuilding of the community. In this way there is a twofold benefit derived from the savings. Tho first man gets not only his interest, but shares in the improvement which his savings made possible. The second man is enabled to make an investment which gives him a distinct advantage. The benefits from savings are mutual. That is another reason for thrift. There is yet a moral side to thrift which need not be mentioned here because everybody knows what it is. The spirit of saving stabilizes the mental attitude and better fits the man for life's struggle.

and mining stock of "wonderf ul" value, une

man reported to the federal authorities that he was fleeced out of $3,000 on a copper mine stock deal. Another lost $10,000 which he bet on the outcome of a wrestling match. The operations of the Muncie gang were sc palpably crude and rarwj that one wonders how men were induced to bite. None of the finesse and acumen that marks the swindler who op

erates through cleverly ' written advertisements

and well coached salesmen was in evidence. The

schemes were of the ohi school, but evidently time, instead of weakening their potency, added to their pulling powez, and the victims were shorn of their money with ease and dispatch. The $200,000 whiclv the swindlers obtained is only a small part of tfcje millions dropped annually by luckless and witless persons who believe

they will become millionaires by investing their hard earned savings in mine, oil, land and highly speculative industrial -gentures. i Keep Them Out Screen all windows; and doors, especially the kitchen and dining roam. Keep the flies awar from the sick, especially those ill with contagion s diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is covered with disease genm s. Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises.

All refuse which tea ids in any way to fermentation, such as bedding-, straw, paper waste and vegetable matter shoiii'd be disposed of or covered and the cans clea aed or sprinkled with oil or lime. Keep all stable manure in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with littne, oil or other cheap preparation. I Cover food after a meal ; burn or bury ail table refuse. . Screen all food exposed for sale. Don't forget, if yciu see flies, their breeding place is in nearby filth. It' may be behind the door, under the table or in the cuspidor. If there is no dirt and filth there will be no flies. If there is a nuissiace in the neighborhood write at once to the Itealth Department.

Good Evening

BY ROY K. MOULTON ; . j

Germans are planning to start a colony in Japan. Nice HI' place to start one, but we don't know about the finish. The German crown prince has broken his wrist, but, cheer up! His personal memoirs of the great war will go on just the same. He is dictating those and nobody ever heard of a Hohenzollern losing his voice. Uncle Terwilliger says: "Seems so when a woman can't find anything else to do these days she starts playing a fiddle in vaudeville."

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

The Muncie Disclosures . The arrest of alleged swindlers and gangsters in Muncie on the charge of defrauding persons out of thousands of dollars has an element of general interest that gives the case more than

a purely local interest. Muncie has received a bad name throughout Indiana by reason of the corruption unearthed there and the alleged connivance of some of its officials with the culprits. But the latest disclosures again show the general weakness of men to obtain something for nothing and to hope for big returns on nominal investments. Therein is contained a warning that all of us should take to heart. Two victims were "done" for $10,000 on fake fights. The state and federal authorities say that more than $200,000 was lost by persons who were led to put up their money for "fixed" fights, wrestling matches, horse races, land investments

Beautiful, fragrant flowers trees cities babies nations THE WORLD! Who ever heard of anything growing down? What you are in this big life is revealed in your lived expression and action of how you interpret your UP. It's so easy.. to fall down. Anyone can do that over and over again. But it's how you get UP that counts. It takes real COURAGE to get UP and to stay UP. Long ago, that wonderful old Patriarch, Edward Everett Hale said: "Look up not down!"

The state is proud of them and the other whose names have not been given the same recognition, but whose military records are equally heroic. The civilian population can do no greater honor to them and their splendid performances, than to maintain the record of loyal support of every government activity since the war began, by subscribing generously and promptly for the full quota of Victory bonds.

Aunt TIbatha and Uncle Hiram started for a Christmas visit to New York, and at Philadelphia Uncle Hiram got out to buy a newspaper and the train went off without him. But the railroad people were more than kind to Uncle Hiram in his predicament. They put him on an extra rapid express and he actually arrived In New York twenty minutes ahead of Aunt Tabitha. He stood at the exit In his black Sunday suit, carpet-bag In hand, when she came .forth. "Here we are again, hey?" he said, clasping her waist jocosely. "I tell ye, Tablthy, gal, I thought I'd lost ye for good." x But Aunt Tabitha had drawn herself up straight and stiff. She was frowning as black as a thundercloud. "You clear out, mister!" she hissed. "None o yef New York confidence tricks on me. I left my Hiram back in Philadelphia."

One hundred pad one years ago, In 1818, Robert Morrison received his commission as postmaster, and Richmond assumed the dignity of a postoffice town. He opened the office in

, a frame, building, in which he also kept a store, at the southwest corner of Main and front streets. He later moved both the office and store to

the northwest corner of Main and Pearl streets, now Main and Fifth, where he also kept a store. In 1829, Morrison resigned, and the office passed into the hands of Daniel Reid, father of Daniel G. Reid, finan

cier, New York, who taught school in the neighborhood. A little delay of a month or so in their mail, did not bother Richmond inhabitants much then, for while the mails were supposed to come every two weeks, sometimes the postboy was delayed and they did not arrive for a month or so. Floods and impassable, muddy roads, delayed the carrier, who brought the mails by horseback. The returns of the office, made quarterly, amounted to two or three dollars every three months, "in strange" contrast to the present returns," says John Plummer's city directory of 1857, "to the present proceeds of the office, these being, in the year 1856, $1,407,13." In still 6tranger contrast to the proceeds for the year 1918 of about $142,000 and $48,626.53 for the first quarter of 1919. The Service Star Committee of the Emergency Aid has just supplied nearly five hundred comfort kits at less than twenty-four hours' notice, to the men who were burned out at the naval base at Sewell's Point, N.

existing dynasty or adopt a new one or introduce republican government. Government proceeds healthily and hopefully when it is understood that royalty exists by suffrage and that tm unsatisfactory ruler or dynasty is to be voted out of existence. Kings, originally, were tribal chieftains. There was ti time when the kings of the roving tribes of North Europe held their offices because they were chosen popularly, and lost, them when they failed to lead gallantly in battle or proved in other respects unpopular. As long as a king knows his place and is kept in his place there is little objection to him as an Institution or as an individual. But when royalty begins to give itself airs and claim for itself- privileges based upon the pretense of divine right the time has arrived for a referendum, a means of settlement vastly superior to midnight plotting and daylight murder. The divine right of kings is a myth cooked up by kingcraft as a means of holding the office of sovereign irrespective of the f Itnes3 of the holder for the duties of the office. It is practical politics raised to the Nth power.- Like political bosses in republican countries kings in monarchic countries often have thriven upon the disinclination of the people to busy themselves correcting abuses of government. A referendum now and then would have been beneficial to many European countries which have suffered, lazily, a good deal of imposition In the form of bad government due to noodles mentally unfit

or criminals morally unlit for the assumption of executive duties. To the fact; to trio indolent disinclination ot people to conduct their own business, history owes such appellations as "Charles the ' Fat," "Charles the Simple," "Charles the Silly." "Charles the Bald," "Louis le Debonnaire," "Louis the Staiximerer," "Louis Do Nothing," "Louis the Quarreler," nicknamed for qualities of characteristics which distinguished them when they occupied the throne of France. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been governed in recent years by a gnind duchess, accorded generally the honor often denied to queens of popular respect as a woman, and charged with no sin of omission or commission, as sovereign, WJiich brands her as a bad citizen of the country from which she gets a good living as the wearer of the grand ducal crown and titular head of government. If the citizens of Luxembourg wish to continue the present royal family upon the civil list as an expensive appurtenance of the ascjiaic institution-monarchy or to choose a new dynasty, that can be done, no doubt, without injury to the gemeral welfare. If a. republic should be instituted there might be or there might not be an early and a decided improvement in the general welfare, but so long as the people of Luxembourg decide fuch matters by refere:oilum the sovereignty of Luxembourg is in the people, wlhere sovereignty should be, and royalty Is comprehended as the beneficiary privilege, removable at the pleasure of the people, not mistaken as having been instituted divinely as the perpetual inheritor of privilege and of financial allowances.

Atmosphere is Laden With Germs of the Disease. Every person afflicted with Catarrh releases millions of the tiny disease germs with every cough or sneeze, so that whenever on the street cars or street or other public place you see a person afflicted with this disease hawking and coughing and

sneezing, everyone in their vicinity is exposed to the disease. You along with everyone else will find yourself exposed to the germs of Catarrh several times every day. The germs multiply by the millions, and the air you breathe is thick with these tiny little disease demons that cause so much distress and suffering. Some people will readily resist the disease, while others will ii t. a .f -J

You may use sprays, douches, washes, ointments and jellies by the gallon, and the best you can possibly expect from such treatment is mere temporary relief. But what you want is some permanent progress toward ridding yourself of the disease, and this you cannot hope for until you use a treatment that goes direct to the cause of the disease. You must realize that Catarrh is more than a mere local irritation that stops up your nose

healthy condition that the germs of the disease cannot find lodgment. You will then be able to throw off the attacks of the germs and escape their efforts.

Catarrh is one of the most stubborn diseases, and is always worse in cold, damp and disagreeable weather. It should not, however, be considered incurable, though there are thousands afflicted with it who are

doubtless ready to believe that a

cure is impossible, because ot their experience. But like all other afflictions, the main trouble is that Catarrh

is entirely misunderstood, and!

therefore treated in the wrong way. Because these little germ demons attack the delicate membranes of the nose and throat, choking up the air passages and irritating the tender lining of the nostrils and bronchial tubes, the average sufferer makes tha mistake of treating merely the symptoms of the disease, and overlooks its cause.

This is why the most satisfactory remedy for Catarrh is S. S. S., the famous .old reliable blood purifier. S. S. S. has been used successfully for Catarrh for more than fifty years, and it is the one remedy that attacks th source of the disease, cleansing the blood thoroughly, and eliminating from it every trace of disease germs. If you want a remedy that

! goes direct to the seat of the dis

ease, begin to take S. S. S. today, and throw away your atomizers and other local treatment that cannot possibly reach your Catarrh. You will be delighted after giving this remedy a trial, and will soon find yourself on the road to a complete recovery. S. S. S. is sold by druggists everywhere. Begin its use to-day, and write for free medical advice about your own individual case. Address Chief Medical Adviser, 109 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. Adv.

CHAS. AKER AND FAMILY That in all probability his life was saved by Pepgen, is the strong assertion of Charles Aker, 1306 East Adams street, Muncie. "I weighed myself yesterday and found that I weighed just eighteen pounds more than the day I took my first dose of Pepgen, and that was about three weeks ago. Pepgen worked a wonderful change in my condition. It also helped my wife and daughter," Mr. Aker says: "Several months ago I was injured by an accident. A sudden concussion jarred my head so badly that it killed the nerves in my teeth; this eventually poisoned my system through and through, and later on I had to have every tooth in my head extracted. After that accident I went down hill day by day. I couldn't get the poison out of my system. I lost strength and weight. My appetite left me and my nervous system was fast giving out. My bowels were In a sluggish condition. I also had rheumatic pains in my arms, back and shoulders. I reached a point where I knew it must soon be either one or two things, that I would lose my mind or be driven away to my last resting place in the cemetery. "I went to Indianapolis for treatment. I didn't get much better. When I came home I was discouraged. It was then I started to use Pepgen, that blessed tonic. I could almost feel my-

iself getting stronger. Pepgen finally
