Beauty.
There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far
from the truth. Beauty is founded
on good -health—without that there
is no real beauty. You can cover
up a muddy or tullow complexion
with face powder, but it will not be
beautiful.| A homely woman in good
• health is usually more interesting
and more charming than. a bilious
dyspeptic beauty. Constipation and
a sluggish liver impair good looks.
If you are troubled in this way take
Chamberlain's Tablets and you will
soon be looking, better and feeling
better.—Advt.
MANY CHANGES
MAY TAKE PLACE IN LABOR WORLD.
This war is going to be responsible for many changes be
fore it is over. Can the common man trust his government
while these changes are going on? From the expressed atti
tude of the present administration it would seem that he can,
implicitly.
AH over the country a howl has gone up, largely on the
part of big business interests, for “conscription of labor.” For
the most part the men making all the noise on this issue are
employers inspired by rosy visions of cheaper labor—and con
sequently of larger profits.
“The time may come when it will be necessary to con
script labor, but when that time comes it will be necessary also
to take over the industry in which the labor is conscripted.”
This from Assistant Secretary of Labpr Louis Post.
And: “Under no circumstanols will labor be conscripted
in a private profit employment. . . If the lumber industry can
not get along without conscripting labor, then the forests and
the mills must be taken over by the government.” This from
the secretary, William B. Wilson, himself.
Some of these days, when America decides to buckle down
to this war business in dead earnest, those gentlemen who are
so loudly in favor of a drastic measure when they can see
something in it for themselves may wake up out of what will
seem like a bad dream to them, clutching in their right hands
little printed government receipts for the railroads, and coa!
and mines, and munitions factories, and in their left hands gov
ernment checks, redeemable in Liberty Bonds, for the exact
physical values thereof, no more, no less. Then, if they are
wise, they will join the waiting line of applicants for their old
jobs back again—but this time on Uncle Sam’s payroll, not as
owners.
And the common man, who works with his hands ^or a
living, will go right on working. Only he will be, in effect,
his own employer. For the money that finds its way into his
wages pocket on pay-day will be, in part, the same money that
came out of his tax pocket the first of the week.
Also If, after the war is over and everything has settled
down to & new kind of normal, he becomes dissatisfied with
the big boss in Washington, he can appoint another big boss for
himself, and other little bosses as he sees fit, next election day.
He can even change the whole system bact to what it was
again, if he decides that he doesn’t like it so well as a peacetime
proposition.
THE “THIRD DEGREE”
FOR OUR CAPTURED BOYS.
Cables telling of the first capture of American prisoners
“somewhere in France" intimate that the Germans put down
a barrage fire and then succeeded in killing three of our men,
wounding eleven and capturing eleven.
There is every reason to believe that the Prussians were
more anxious to capture some of our jhoys than to kill them.
Germany wants to know more about what we are doing in
France than her spies have been able to tell her. She wants
to know how many men Pershing has in France, what reserves
he hbs, what amount of ammunition and supplies he has on
hand. Eleven American lads are probably in for a series of
grilling cross examinations. They will be pumped morning,
noon and night.
For whatever pap may be fed to the German people back
home, the kaiser and his coterie are no longer under any delu
sions as to American determination. They know we are in the
war to a finish. What they desire to learn right now is h'ow
rapidly we have been aJ5Te to put men across the submarine
infested seas. From that they will try to figure how soon
America will be a menace to them in any offensive the allies
may attempt. It has a direct bearing upon their plans, not
only as regards the western front, but als6 upon their cam
paigns against Italy and Russia.
AND WAR SAVINGS

Exposed by Hobson
Large Audience Greeted
Temperance Advocate at
Auditorium—Highest Pa
triotism Urged.
Laat night at the Auditorium Cap
tain Richmond Pea non Hobaon apoko
to a good aiaed audience In advo
cacy of a dry nation. Ho was intro
duced by Judge West after prayer
had been offered by Rev. E. L. Hill
of the Presbyterian church.
Upon bis appearance the captain
as greeted by the entire audience
rising to its feet and at times his
lecture was interrupted by applause.
“America at War’’ was his subject
and instead of listening to a dis
sertation upon the conflict ih Europe
it heard a strong anti-saloon address.
The speaker said the nation is not
only at war but perhaps at tba great
est crisis in its history, tt u not
only at war with bcliigarent nations
but it has an internal foe which is
not only a national fos but an indi
vidual enemy. We have raised n sec
ond Liberty Loan and we are going
to raise others, but money will not
win this war. We have broad should,
era to bear our burdens but we roust
strike the enemy with all our
strength. To mako our army most
effective our soldiers must bo sober
men. More allied armies' soldiers
have been incapacitated by alcohol
ism and venerial diseases than ny
the bullets of the central power*.
The Race Threatened.
Destroying the demon, Rum, la of
vast importance not on’jr to the army
and the navy but to the very life of
the race. As it is we atand to lose
race,
the n
money we have put into the
.prosecution of the war, air the time
and energy we have expended, all the
men we are sending and victory it
self. Victory lost means perhaps the
loss of the entity of tile nation.
When soldi.:-. are mobilized vie.'
mobilizes close by. Saloons and all
kindred evils get as close tft the
camps as possible. Commercialized
vice takes up ita haunts near by and
insidiously gets a throat hold of the
men nnd drains the camp of ita best
blood.
Bomb Washington With Letters.
The captain urged that as many as
possible write letters to the Georgia
.members of congress and senators
urging that prohibition be written
into the national constitution. Make
a fight for dry America he pleaded.
It is time for all the world to co
operate for the good of humanity and
it is up to America to lead the way.
We have religious freedom and are
in the enviable poeition to ahow Jhe
world how the race may be made
better, and the first step ii to banish
the traffic in alcohol from the face ot
the earth.
Views of Science.
Figures presented by Captain Hob
son were startling. All tne persons
engaged in the liquor traffic put to
gether make up one-third of one per
cent of our papulation. This small
percentage is growing fat upon the
vast majority. It is slowly poison
ing men, the poison being a sort that
makes them slaves and drains Jhem
of their earnings for years. The «a-
looniata will not poiaon a man «ut-
right, that would'deprive them ot
the goose that lay golden eggs. They
are the original conservationists and
play the gams to .th* limit The great
pity is that it is our young men who
are the vtetinta the very men we
need eo much just at this time.
This poiaon will surely bear fruit
sooner or later. “Unto the third and
fourth generation," whs brought out
•vividly in statistics by scientists. A
’drunkard’s great grandchild is the
4a*t of the family. As a scientific
fact this is unanswerable.' Dipso
mania is the auicide of the race.
There is no compromise with alco
hol.
Appeals to Patriotism.
Hobson is not a one-sided man.
Just now he is speaking against the
saloon. But he asked his audience
laat night to atand by the Red Croat,
the Y. M. C. A. work, the Liberty
bond issues, the recreation fund and
every activity that tends to moke for
the good of the

Nation-Wide Sales Cam
paign Starts in December.
Small Investors to Be
Reached in Numbers.
Washington.—Investment in War-
Savings Certificates will he as aim
pie as the purchase of postage
stamps under a plan announced by
Secretary McAdoo for the nation
aide certificate sales campaign wmch
Ihe will inaugurate on .Monday, De
cember 3rd, with the assistance of
the War-Savings committee.
Any person may invest amounts as
small as twenty-live cents at a time
at postoffices, banks or trust compa
nies, at most railroad stations, stores
and factories and at many other pub
lic places where accredited persons
will act as authorized selling agents.
After the sales begin the certificates
may be purchased at any time. At
the average 1918 selling price such
investments in certificates will yield
4 per cent interest compounded quar
terly. The certificates wil’ a be dated
January 2,1918, and will mature Jan
uary 1, 1923, or five years after date,
The entire wealth and security of the
United States is behind them.
The tax exemption of these certi
Jlcates, particularly from the stand
point of the purchaser of smaller
amounts, makes the investment at-
tractive. No person may purchase
at one time more than 100.00 worth
or hold at one time more than II
000.00 wprth of these certificates.
Those obligations of the United
States will be evidenced by stamps
of two denominations—a War Sav
ing Stamp costing from $4.12 to 14.23
according to the month in which pur
chased and having a maturity value
of $5.00, and a Thrift Stamp costing
twenty-five cents.
. During December, 1917, and Jpn
uary, 1918, War-Saving Stamps win
be sold for $4.12 each. At the be
ginning of each of the succeeding
months of 1918, starting February 1,
the cost of a stamp will increase one
cent per month. All War Saving
stamps issued during 1918 will ma
ture on January 1, 1923, when they
will be reduced at $5.00 each.
The difference between the pur
chase price paid at any time during
1918, and $5.00, represents the In
terest the government will pay the
holder.
With the first War-Saving Stamp
bought the purchaser will obtain
without expense' a War-Saving Cer
tificate containing spaces for twenty
aueh stamps. If the twenty spaces
are filled durloc.December, 1917, on

net profit of $17.60 for the uae of
hia money.
Thrift: Stamps costing twenty-five

pound quarterly merely by turning
the card in to the postoffice, bank or
other sales agency and paying the
difference between $4.00 and the cur
rent price of a War-Saving Stamp.
Money derived from war savings
investments will be used to meet the
expenses of the war. The greater
part of these funds will be expended
within the borders of the United
