By George Ade. This is to the fortunate ones who, ten years from now, will be enjoying the benefits of what all future histories will call the GREAT WAR. You boys who are getting ready to vote will know more about this war when you are plump and middle-aged than any one can'possibly know this year. When the dust has cleared away and the large events of the war can be seen from a distance, then you will understand that the issues involved had to be fought out, that the United States had to take part, that the task we are now undertaking had to be accomplished. Let us hope that each of you can say, twenty years from now, ‘‘I was young at the time, but I knew what the war meant, and I helped.” Not all of the heroes are in the trenches. Perhaps you have heard about the Working Reserve. It has been carefully organized under government super vision. It has received the official endorsement of the Presi dent. The whole plan is working out successfully wherever it is understood. The trouble is that some of the boys and some of the par ents are still a little doubtful regarding enlistment, because they don’t know how much of an obligation is assumed. Here is the plan in a nut shell: Thousands of enlisted and selected men have gone to the training camps. It may be that thousands more will go next year. These men are being called from factories and work-shops and farms. Every factory and every farm must continue production if we arc to render full service to our faithful allies during the war. How can we fill the places of the young men who have gone away to fight? We must rely upon the boys who are old enough and husky enough to work, but who are still too young for military service. So here is a trumpet call for all city boys and town boys between the ages of 16 and 21. Prove your patriotism and help your country by jumping in and doing the work of a soldier who has gone to the front. The United States Boys’ Working Reserve is not being or ganized for lads who have to work for a living. Nearly every soldier now wearing a uniform could make more money at home. You are not asked to work because you need the money. You are asked to work boeause your country needs your help and relies upon you to chuck aside false pride and join in the team work. If your big brother can dig trenches surely you can plow corn. Go to the recruiting officer and enlist for the Boys’ Work ing Reserve. Then, when you are called upon, go and make good in the job assigned to you and win your medal and wear it and be proud of it. When the government began to organize this voluntary service among boys, so as to meet the inevitable shortage of man-power, the skeptics and fault-finders got busy. They said that boys living in cities and towns never could be induced to work on farms, that farmers didn’t want'to have the town boys around because they would prove to be green or lazy or in different, and the whole thing was a fool contraption. Doesn’t your common sense and your knowledge of addition and subtraction tell you that if we suddenly take 1,000,000 or more men right out of the productive industries of this country, we must either find a million men to take their places or else go short on production? Arc we going to do as they have done in England—dress the women and girls in men’s garments and put them to clean ing the streets and making explosives and wiping up locomo tives In round houses and doing all the hard menial tasks? We musn’t como to that—not while wc have on hand a whole army of young fellowA between 16 and 21, nearly every one of whom has gone In for some kind of athletic sport and is physi cally able and would be as mad as a hornet if you told him he was a mama’s pet and not able to do a man’s work. The boys between 16 and 21 can and will supply the short age of man-power. There will be a loud call for them in 1918 and they must answer the call. HAVE DAHK HI. AND LOOK YOUI Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea. “LIBERTY MEASLES.” According to information sent out from Washington, "Ger man measles” has beefi wiped off the sanitary records of the various military camps and ‘^Liberty measles” substituted. Hanged if we can grasp the psychology of it. If the measles were not ruthless, if there were a single feature of liberty about it, we could see into it, but- the oppo site is the fact. Such a low-down, contrary, ferocious malady as the measles is properly named German. And why pollute the term “Liberty” by such association? Gee! If the Old Boy were called “German Devil,” wo wouldn’t name him “Liberty Devil,” in order to take a crack at the kaiser, would we ? Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wythe’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bot tle of this old time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wythe’s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap plied—it’s so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, tak ing one strand at a time. By morn ing the gray hair disappears; after another applidation or two, it is re stored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This pre paration is' a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.—Advt. Whether you can afford to lend your country $1 or $70 a month, you will be a welcome recruit in Uncle Sam’s great army of thrift stamp and war savings purchasers.

POSITION VINDICATE- The Washington correspondent ot The Atlanta Constitution recency sent to his paper the following arti cle, which is a vindication of Judge Brand’s position that congressmen did not vote to exempt themselves from the income tax: The Internal Revenue Depart ment, through Commissioner Ro per, has just issued an order con struing the income tax act to'ap ply to members of Congress, stating that it is apparent that the members of that body did not intend to exempt themselves while they were taxing other peo ple’s incomes. It will be observed that this construction is identical with the statement made by Congressman Charles H. Brand, of the Eighth District, to The Constitution up on his return home during the holidays. 'At that time Congress-, man Brand’s brief^speech which he made in the House in Decem ber was quoted in The Constitu tion, in which he stated that nothing was further from the purpose of Congress than to ex empt congressmen from the op eration of the income tar. law. He expressed every confidence that the Commissioner of Intern al Revenue would place that con struction upon it in ample time, and stated that if he did not do so, Congress wtrnld leave no doubt as to its intention that its members should be included in income tax legislation, and that if necessary additional legislation would be enacted. No Celeste, just because a man •goes to all the Greenwich Village balls, wears nouveau art neckties, and collects queer candlesticks is no sign that he is a deep thinker. That which interests a woman is not what her husband, tells her, but what she knows he COULD tell her—and Nvon’t! Getting Rid of Colds. The easiest and quickest way to get rid of a cod is to take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. This preparation has been in use for many years and Its value fully proven. No matter what remedy you use, however, care must be taken not to contract a second cold before you have recovered from the first one, and there is serious danger of this. A man of middle age or old er should go to bud and stay inbed until fully recovered. It is better to stay in bed three days at the start than three weeks later on. (Adv.) Will you wet down your roughage and save several dollars on every ton? S OME farmers are still paying top prices for old style cottonseed hulls because they prefer a bulky filler. Others are paying much less for 'NADC MAUN ruckeiyf V HULLS S LINTLESS and are making them as bulky as old style hulls by wetting them down a half hour or so before using. By adding an equal part of water to Buckeye Hulls and stirring thoroughly they will swell and give you as bulky a roughage as you want. Most important, the bulki ness will be due to water which is of value to your cattle —aot to lint which has no food value whatever. Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls go farther. They allow better assimilation of other food. No trash or dust. Sacked—easy to handle. They mix well with other forage. Take half as much space in the barn. Mr, Benjamin Thompson, Baldknob, Ark., is feeding Buckeye Hulls to stock cattle. He says that he gets more food value per ton with less waste. He has bought five tons and has them stored in barn. He says that they occupy less space than old style hulls. Ta secure the best results and to davelop the ensilage odor, wet the halls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wot down st least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old stylo bulls. Book of Mixed Feedt Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South.

Experience has taught us that this is the only way we can maintain satis factory work. 1 The success of the department depends upon our ability to turn out the work quickly and efficiently at small cost It is plain that a service station or garage run under a large overhead expense cannot possibly do work at rea sonable rates. t We cannot afford, therefore, to saddle on to our department the heavy burden of maintaining costly bookkeeping and collection departments and the losses from bad debts. We refuse to burden our customers by charging high rates to make up these big leakages. This will all be avoided by doing work for CASH ONLY.
