THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO CHEAT OUR
SOLDIERS.
A reader suggests that the death penalty be imposed on every
man found guilty of wilfully cheating the government by deliver-
ini' inferior goods in army or navy contracts, during the war.
This suggestion appeals to us very strongly. It will probably
make an equally strong appeal to every patriotic citizen.
In every w r ar that we have fought, there have been army
contract scandals that have smelled td heaven.
, Not a few of the big American fortunes of today were found
ed upon cheating during the War Between the States.
The embalmed beef outrages of the Spanish-American war
were so unspeakably vile that hd mere mention of them today,
nearly twenty years later, brings the blush of shame to" every hon
est man.
Shoddy uniforms, paper shoes, inferior powder, rotten food
has been our invariable experience in time of war.
To our credit be it said that the great majority of the busi
ness men of the nation have had no part in these loatlyomc prac
tices; to our discredit it must he said that we have never had the
hardihood to make the punishment fit the crime, even when the
crime has .been proven beyond the shadow of doubt.
It is to be expected that here and there during this war will
be found men so rotten with the poison of greed; so utterly lack
ing in that spirit of patriotism which should animate every Amer
ican, that they will attempt to make profits at the expense of the
health and safety of our soldiers and sailors.
Nothing could be more vilely traitorous.
... No punishment short of an ignominious death as a traitor
would be fitting in such circumstances.
WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY CRACKER ANJ HARO
Such Words as These Are Heard AH Over Georgia.
Mrs. A. F. Wylds, residing at 1316
Cooper St., Augusta, Ga., says: “For
four months I was confined to the bed
and did not realize whether I was dead

less. I was treated by a physician
for a whole year but the gain in
strength and vitality was far too slow.
I heard of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre

..... BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES.
Birds are the backyard gardener’s best friends; butterflies are
his enemies. *
'.. Therefore encourage birds to come and lice in your backyard,
and kill the butterflies.
: That pretty butterfly, flitting from plant to plant, may look
Innocent enouph, and it ia-rfea long as it remains a butterfly, but
when it produces an army ,of caterpillars which will “prey upon
the leaves of many of your vegetable plants, taking the leaves and
preventing the plants from taking plantfood out of the air.
- Birds are useful because they kill insects. Without birds a
cohtrtr/ir fhod production would be small.
- .Feed- them, supply them with fresh water often, and teach
your children that birds are our friends.
"If-you have a cat, make sure that it doesn’t chase birds away,

This year the nation needs food—all the food you and every
other patriotic citizen can grow. By the same ^oken it needs birds,
and doesn’t need butterflies.

away. I was in a delicate condition
at the time. I believe that my for
mer experience would never have oc
curred if I had taken Dr. Pierce’s
medicine then, as this time I got along
fine. I was on my feet the ninth day,
able to do my housework and to give
baby all the care and attention he
needed ”
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
has been a favorite with women for
nearly fifty years because it contains
no alcohol or any narcotic. It is put
up in both liquid and tablets and is to
be found in any drug store. If you
will send Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.,
10 cents in stamps or silver, he will
send you a trial package of Favor
ite Prescription Tablets.
Mrs. M. O. Beazley, of 1018 D’Anti-
gnac St., Augusta, Ga., says:
Pierce's Favorite Prescription without
any doubt put me on my feet when I
was suffering from irregularity. I
had constant pain in my right side
which interfered with my activity,
compelling me to keep quiet at such
times. My nerves were out of tone
as welj as my general constitution,
and had been for an entire year.
Very little activity was exhausting,
and I did not get enough rest at night
to recuperate, but would awaken the
next morning quite lifeless. I read
of Dr. Pierce’s medicines and imme
diately began to take the “Prescrip
tion* with the happy result of curing
my nervous state, correcting my wo
manly trouble and giving me health.
I have advised others to take if and
those that have taken it are equally as
well pleased.”
Mrs. S. E. Shackelford who lives at
815 Marbury St., Augusta, Ga., says:
I experienced all the discomforts
arising from expectancy, such as
morning sickness, heavy, dragging,
bearing-down pains, extreme weak
ness, excited nerves, and in general I
was quite miserable. My husband
realizing my state and knowing what
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription had
done for others bought six bottles, and
with the best assurance I can say
all of my physical condition changed
for the better.”

the money will be taken directly

make a profit out of this war busi
ness.
I do not favor-the conMcription of
men because thefprofits will remain
just the same, but if they conscript
men let t’/:re be no exemptions what
ever and conscript dollars to pay as
you enter and pay as you go along.
It will be worse than chattel slavery
if they conscript men to do the
work of the nation. The workers
would be forced to work any place,
any time, and as many hours and un
der any conditions with as little pay
as they saw fit to give them—and
with as little to eat as they chose to
dish out.
Some may think it glorious to
serve the country like that—not me.
Conscript or confiscate the dollar, no
profit, is mine. Radical? Well, a lit

BOY SCOUTS WILL
BE LOOKED AFTER
(By United Press.)
New York, April 30.—Under pro
visions of a bill which is to be part
of the navy depifittmeht’a war legis
lation, approximately 5,000 members
of the Boy Scouts of America, who
volunteer for service^ will be fed and
housed by the government and as
signed to patrol duty on both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
This was learned on good au
thority here today. It is understood
Secretary Daniels is taking a keen in
terest in the part the Boy Scouts
may play in winning the war and
has given the proposed bill his ten
tative approval. It was also learned
that Boy Scouts are already being
used at many points to instruct army
recruita In the art of signalling.
Boy Scouts along both coasts are
being trained now with a view to
participating in patrol work if they
are needed. There is nothing com
pulsory about the service. If the
boys are needed volunteers will be
asked. Those who respond must do
so with the full approval of parents
aijd school authorities. They will
then be assigned to stations near
their homes and at first will serve as
“eyes” of the men remaining on
duty, watching for enemy ships, re
porting the approach of suspicious
strangers and signalling. Boy Scout
headquarters estimated 5,000 would
probably be voluntarily engaged in
this important defense work, out of
the 210,000 scouts In the country.
Only boys of 16 years or over will
be engaged in the work.

Bakers are making no attempt to op

they will wait for the hungry public
to force the workers into line.

"Hulls have
been .fed by
farmers, dairy
men and stock-
men through
out the South
for the past
year. Reports
from these feeders indicate that these lintless hulls when
properly fed, are a great improvement over the old style
hulls. ' „ ;
By actual use, these feeders have found the following
advantages of using V
nilCKEYF
V HULLS V
Every pound of the Buckeye Hulls contains much more food value
because the lint on the old style hulls has no food value.
The price per pound of real roughage in the form of Buckeye Hulls
is very much less than in the form of the old style hulls. Buckeye
Hulls do not clog or flux the digestive tract. Other foods mixed with
them are readily assimilated.
They are free of trash and dust. *
They are sacked and easy to handle. « *■'
They take half as much space in the barn.
If you have not tried Buckeye Hulls, please remember that thousands
of feeders are using them and will use no other roughage. If you
have not given Buckeye Hulls a fair trial, let the experience of these
successful feeders guide you in using them as they should be used.
Mt. Olwey Yarber, BooneviUe, Ark.,
has fed a carload of Buckeye Hulls to cows and calves
to get them ready for the range. He had been feed
ing hay and he finds that they did much better on Buck
eye Hulls as roughage. He has another car of Buckeye
Hulls bought.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet tke hutte
thoroughly twelve hoars before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting this down night and morning (or the next (coding. If a
wetting this down night and morning (or the next feeding. II at any time
this cannot bo done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old stylo halls.
