v Look Out For This - The factories of our country are not, as an average, producing as much per worker as they did before the war. The cost of operating these factories is much greater than it was before the war. The cost is high because everything that goes into the work is up in price, and because wages are high. To cover these costs of manufacture there have been raises in prices. These are the prices we are all howling about but look out for this : i; If the factories cut prices with the present rate of manufacture, they can't pay expenses. " Jf they, can't pay expenses, they must close

up.- If they close up, workers are thrown out of

work. A , ? Then what will happen? We will have to be

gm at the beginning. To keep alive we will have

to go to work at any wages. The manufacturer,

to sell his goodswill have to sell for whatever

he can get. Goods will be cheap, very cheap; but what good will that do anybody? Wages will be

so low that lots of cheap goods will be no better than a few high-priced goods. : Our only hope is in keeing up wages and getting down prices. And there is just one way to dp this turn out more work. ; By making more goods in the same number

of working hours, we increase the supply while reducing the cost. And as soon as you put plenty of goods on the market no one under the sun can keep prices up. It's all a matter of work; steady, constant, honest work, every minute of every working day,

for every man and woman in the country. That is the answer to high prices ; the answer that will

bring prices down. A full day's work by every worker in this country would bring prices down without touching wages. Prices are up because goods are scarce. We have plenty of factories and plenty of farms to produce more than we can use more than we need. All that is necessary to insure a reduction in costs, which keep up prices, is to increase the quantity of goods manufactured. If the shoemakers, for example, will speed up production, they can supply shoes for all workers,

rnnd with plenty to spare.

The same is true of the clothing workers and

of the farm workers. And the clerks, stenographers, managers and owners in all lines of business, the women in the homes everybody

can help cut down costs.

When anyvof us loaf on our jobs we are not only hurting ourselves, but we are hurting all

the other workers of the country.

In six months if every one of us did a full day's work every working day, prices would drop without a single cut in wages. Prices would drop because there would be a full supply of goods. Then your dollars would be worth more than they are today. Today your dollar buys only as much as fifty cents bought a few years ago. Lower prices will come with more work and only with more work. Work and Watch Your Dollars Grow.

, Answers to Questions . ;

A Reader Please tell me why Venus de Metes' arm is cut off? This celebrated Greek statue is now In the Louvre, Paris. It is bo called because it was discovered on the Island of Melos In 1820. The arms are broken

off, and their original position has been

mucn disputed. It is assumed that ihey were accidentally broken off. One

fiction writer says a rival of the sculptor, peeved at the beauty of the statute, wantonly broke off its arms. But this is not history: Many theories have ben advanced, but history gives no authentic explanation.- and it is

safe to assume that the statue was

broken accidentally.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE! Not that you are perfect, but that you are grandly imperfect, is why I love you! Where there Is imperfection, undevelopment and bad steering at times, there it is that earnest men should gather with their brains and brawn. This country was conceived in Liberty I Therefore "My country right or wrong." Certainly, may she always be right. But, right or wrong, I shall travel with her and give her a hand. And I shall always seek the right that I may always know her step of right, and be able to fall in with it. I am thinking of your fertile, unploughed plains, your treasured earth depths, your vast expanses of cultivated fields, your solid, loyal men and women. And I say, in my heart, that you are worth all that you have cost, and that your example to the other nations of the earth should always square with your best thought. But a lot of ignorant, misguided, and unappreciative folk who are not of you have crept in. unawares. They seek to destroy all that youhave built. Their only desire is to besmirch. They seem to have nothing good to give. They only desire to take away. There are but two thing3 to do, My Country either to throw , them out cart and cartage, or to teach . them your language! The former is the simpler, the latter, the more difficult way. Lng ago it was written: "Can there pity good come out of Nazareth?" nut there did. The greatest blessing that the world has ever known. And so there may good come out. of the travail of America, with Its plotting aliens In its midst. Tlipro is Kroat pvil in ignorance.

Eyes Tired? If your eyes are tired and overXvorktd; if they itch, ache, burn or smart, go to any drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and use to bathe the eyes from two to four times a day. You will be surprised at the rest, relief and comfort Bon-Opto brings. Note: Doctors sn V Pon Opto strengthens eyc5cht 60?fc in a week's time lu many instance.

Most of our mistakes are thus made. But there can be no trifling at this time. The ideals of all America are at stake. And deflniteness must form its decisions. There must be action quick and certain. Either the alien must go, or he must come and that into everything for which we have fought and suffered and dreamed and won. This country of ours belongs to every lover of Its flag in large part. And it must be protected. Or else the guilt of the few must bear mercilessly upon the good of the'many.

Two questions that my sister knew, The answers I do not need : What is it Doris Rankin Drew? And what did Florence Reed? Hatie M. Flanders.

MRS. EDWARD SHARIT TELLS AT THISTLETHWAITE'S OF HER FATHER-IN-LAW'S RECOVERY

Mrs. Edward Sharits, 515 South 6th street, Richmond, recently called at Thistlethwaite's drug store to obtain a bottle of Pepgen. In answer to a question as to how she liked Pepgen, Mrs. Sharits said: "I am not taking Pepgen myself. I am buying this for my father-in-law, Mr. William Sharits. He was troubled with his stomach and liver. His food soured and caused gas and bloating. Pepgen not only helped his Btomach, but it made him feel stronger. He tells me that it is not a hardship for 'him to get up in the mornings and go to work, where before he took Pepgen he dreaded his work because he always felt tired. "Pepgen has made cuch a change in my father-in-law's condition that we are glad he is going to continue to take it." Pepgen is now the sensation of the drug trade in the United States. In the history of patent medicines, there

has never been a record worthy of comparison with Pepgon. The enormous popularity of Pepgen is due to its meritorious effects tn stomach trouble, indigestion, dyspepsia, headaches, constipation, backache, kidney and liver ills. All druggists vouch that the sales of Pepgon in Richmond have more than doubled the salo of any other medicine. The Meyer Bros. Drug Co.f of Mtincie, reports that tho salo of Pepgen in that city Is astonishing. The Terminal Pharmacy of Terre Haute also reports enormous sales. The J. F. Bomm Drug Co., of Evansville says that out of tho great quantity sold at their stores, they have not had one dissatisfied customer. The Kiefer-Stewart Drug Co., and the Mooney-Mueller-Ward Drug Co., of Indianapolis, wholesalers, report a large demand for Pepgen in all parts of the state of Indicna. Advertisement.

odigestion Gas Bloat

Heartburn-Caused

By Acid-Stomach

What is the cause of indigestion, dyspepsia, bloat, heartburn, food-repeating, belching, gasay, sour 6tomach, and all the stomach miseries that bring bo much distress? Just this ACID-STOMACH. It robs millions of their full strength, vitality and the power to enjoy life to be real men and women. It is well known that an acid-mouth destroys tho teeth. The acid can be detected only by a chemical analysis, and still it is so powerful that it eata right through the hard enamel and causes the teeth to decav. This certainly is fair warning of what Acid-btomach will do to the entire system; as a matter of fact, Acid-Stomach not only produces at the start a great many painful and disagreeable evmptoms that we generally name "stomach troubles," but it is the creator of a long train of very serious ailments. Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion and causes the food to ferment, the stomach gets sour and creates gas, and then this mass of sour, fermented food passes into the intestines, where it becomes the breeding place for all kinds of germs and toxic poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood stream, and m this way distributed throughout the entire body. m The sensible thing to do is to strike right at the verv cause of all this trouble and get nd of tie Acid-Stomach. There is a quick, easy way to do this. A

wonderful new remedy makes it possible to remove Acid-Stomach without the slightest discomfort. It is called EATONIC, made in the form of tablets good to eat just like candy.
