Uncovering Illegal War Contracts The announcement of Attorney General Pal

mer that the department of justice has "uncovered illegal transactions involving millions of dollars" in connection with alleged fraudulent war contracts, may lead to civil and criminal prosecutions. The American people never has been satisfied with the enormous sums that were spent in eretcing cantonments and gigantic industrial plants for the manufacture of munitionsof war. Taxpayers were unable to see why millions of dollars were expended for operations that under private contract would have cost one-half or onethird of what it cost the government to have the work done. Questionable vouchers, the statement of the department of justice says, has resulted in the withholding of $-1,420,000 in one class of contracts alone. About $150,000 will be recovered

in the northern Pacific division as the result of an investigation in the shipbuilding activity. Another $325,000 is under scrutiny in Ohio. During the war, the military establishment dealt rigorously and often harshly with privates who transgressed against some military rule. Investigation of the court martial activity showed that privates were sentenced to serve long terms in the federal prison for the theft of a little food or a small piece of clothing. Transgressions that did not involve theft from the government but ;vere violations of discipline were severely punished. The theft of a piece of equipment by a soldier is not a bit more reprehensible, perhaps less so, than the outright steal of thousands and millions of dollars by civilians engaged in government work. If there was fraud and graft in war contracts, the guilty ones should be punished as harshly as were the soldiers who were guilty of minor infractions of the military code. Justice demands fair play. The ends of justice will not be served if a contractor or federal' official padded a payroll, delivered inferior goods, or overcharged with the purpose of defrauding the government, and is able to escape the penalty for his crime. There is no difference between his case and that of the .soldier who is languishing in prison because he stole food or clothing. The American people will applaud the efforts of the department of justice if it succeeds in un.covering dishonest agents of the government and sees that they are punished.

Quick Way to Whiten Discolored Teeth

While the cleansing of the teeth seems fairly well assured by regular use of the tooth brush, this can by no means be depended upon to maintain the whiteness and lustre of the enajnel. This is only too well appreciated by thousands of particular men and women who, in spite of the liberal use of various tooth powders, pastes

ana iiquias. seem unaDie to remove the tinge of yellow or gray from the front, of their teeth, or black or brownish fringes about the edges. It will be welcome news to all such that every stain and discoloration can bo completely and quickly removed by the use of '"Once-a-Week Tooth Polish," the discovery of a well-known dentist. If used regularly, the disagreeable tints will not reappear, and the teeth will always have that spotless milky whiteness and sparkling beauty so much admired but so seldom seen. Its effectiveness is all the more remarkable because it i3 so perfectly harmless. Instead of scratching or eating Into the enamel or injuring the gums, it helps keep teeth, gums and mouth in a healthy state. Used by the

'little ones it will do much to prevent I children's ailment.3. Druggists sell j Once-a-Week Tooth Polish in convenient, packages with simple directions. Advertisement.

THIS WOMAN IS FEELING BETTER THAN IN YEARS, THANKS TO VOLA-TONIC

Declaring there must be magic in Vola-Tonic. Mrs. Henry Ietur. 4330 Eastern avenue, Cincinnati, explained

in detail bow the medicine her.

"My system all over was weakened and run down," Mrs. Lettur said. "For the last seven or eight months I have been so weak and nervous that I could hardly do my housework. My nerves were so out of order that if anybody spoke a sharp word I'd go all to pieces. The noise of a wagon passing in the street or the children playing got on my nerves. 'At night I couldn't sleep or rest, but would just toss and roll about the bed and would get up the next

morning feeling worse than I did the

night before.

"I took Vola-Tonic and from the

helped1 way it built me up I think there must

be magic in it. My nerves are in much better condition now. I sleep soundly every night and get proper rest. "In fact.v I'm feeling better since taking Vola-Tonic than for years and, naturally, I'm glad to recommend the medicine that did so much for me." Vola-Tonic, "Builder of Strength," is being specially introduced in Richmond by the five Quigley drug stores and is sold by one leading druggist in cities and towns everywhere near here. advertisement.

After .Whooping Cough -What? This is No. 4 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's VapoRub mav be of value in this condition.

Whooping cough is the "meanest" disease that childhood is heir to- While rarely fatal in itself, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on so long the coughing paroxysms are so violent , preventing proper sleep and digestion that when the disease does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and after recovery this irritation frequently remains. During this period of convalescence the child should be most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air passages regain their normal tone . A prominent authority even, goes so far as to say "There is mere criminal neglect in connection with whooping cough than with any other disease." While the disease is active, Vick's VapoRub usually helps to lessen the violence of the coughing, but it is during convalescence that Vicks is most valuable. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to

draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough . I n addition the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. - wj. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form cf a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the ccugh is annoying swallow a small bit the; size of a pea. Children's digestions are delicate easily disturbed by too much "dosing." Vicks, therefore , is particularly recommended . since it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects.
