The promised return to popularity
oi the X-ray gowns forecasts the ne
cessity of an addition to the police
force to prevent congestion of traf- (
fie on bright, sunshiny days.
Now we reckon George Long will
hie himself to the well known hole and
drag same in after him, having re
ceived a pyrotechnic epistle from a
Watsonite whose orthography would
make the angels weep.
Not many days until the "school
boy with his shining morning face”
along with sundry schoolgirls in the
same category, will be trudging back
t the halls of learning, to look for
ward with longing eyes to the Christ
mas holidays.
Recent photographs of Constantine,
( ex-king of Greece, show him having a
high old time at one of the popular
mountain resorts in Switzerland and
there is nothing to indicate that he
isn’t thoroughly enjoying his enforced
acation from thj rather harassing
events of the last few months of his
reign.
The fact that pro-German organs
have for the most part ceased to
spread the propaganda attempting to
align the Irish with the Teutons
against Britain, may be taken to mean
that Kaiser Bill has realized the futil
ity of trying to hoodwink the sons
of Erin into shedding their blood for
a cause which spells death to their
hopes of eventual Irish independence.

The extremists in the Russian so
cialist faction had looked upon Gen.
Korniloff as one of their strongest
supporters and a firm opponent of
Premier Kerensky, but his latest ut
terances before the Moscow confer
ence indicate that his views are in
perfect accord with those of the man
to whom Russia is now looking for
guidance out of the maze in which
-i.c has been wandering.
It is possible but not probable that
the Atlanta business houses will sub
mit to what apparently is nothing less
than an attempt on the part of certain
powerful interests in the capital city
to grab all the benefits to be derived
from the presence of Camp Gordon
with its 40,000 soldiers. The Candler
millions should not be allowed to ex
ert a baleful influence over the busi
ness structure of Atlanta.
STRONG ARM FOR TREASON.
It is announced from Washington
that the administration is going to’
give all due and proper attention to
the legitimate claims of the loyal and
law-abiding labor organizations of the
country, but that short shrift is going 1
to be made of I. W.W. and other an
archistic and socialistic agitators who 1
!are seeking to obstruct the govern- 1
ment and embarrass the preparations
now going on for the organization of
the armies of the country for active
participation in the war upon which
i
it has entered. With an insolence
born of total disregard for the welfare
oi the nation and a disloyalty natural
to the lawless creeds of its organi
zation, the I. W. W. leaders have laid
down an ultimatum to Washington that
unless certain things demanded bj’.
these vice-regents of a well organized (
German propaganda are forthwith ac
ceded to a general strike will be order-j
ed in the Western states, with the
avowed purpose of permitting the
crops of foodstuffs, now ripening, to
3 in the fields, and thus to curtail
the living supplies of the people dur
ing the period of the war.
Nothing quite so heinous and depic- ■
able; so treasonably antagonistic, not
only to the government, but to the j
health and happiness of the masses of
the people, has been ever suggested in
this country. Quite properly, there-j
fore, the government has decided
keep a watch on these allies of the
enemy, and when they shall undertake
[to carry out their infamous threat they
I will be treated to the "strong arm.”
Labor, of course, has its rights, and
these will be accepted and agreed to J
whenever they are justly shown, but if,
this and other aggregations of destruc.|
tionists, sympathizers with the enemy,'
and haters of their country and despis
ers of its laws and customs, who are
not friends of the real and genuine
laboring man, shall attempt their
'assassination of the men, women and
1 children of the country by depriving
I them of ample for their sustenance,
they will find that the determination
and courage of the strong man in the
White House are even more to be fear
led than his patience and tolerance are
Ito be abused.
j The soldiers of the United States
I now in Europe, those who are on their
way and those who are shortly to go,
in unison with the fathers and mothers
cf the whole land cry out against the
I treasonable activities of this and all
| other bands of disturbers and re
actionaries who are bent on helping
jGerfnany to win the war. —Chatta-
nooga Times.
It is being more and more clearly
demonstrated that there will be lit
tle relief from excessive prices on
I foodstuffs until the government,
' |
.through its Food Administrator, Her
bert Hoover, lays its hand upon thej
.operations of the retailer and those
I I
I handling the products between the
producer and the consumer.
WHY NOT “AMERICANS!”
I "In hunting for a nickname for
| American soldiers.” writes a contribu-.
.tor to a New York newspaper, why'
I not consider “Jonathans?”
| Why, indeed, if we were hunting for!
a nickname, but why hunt for a 1
nickname?
| Why not call the Americans by their,
right names? It is an honorable one,!
1
( and not lacking in euphony or in any
!other desirable quality. It has behind
i
ii a glorious history and before it a
'glorious future.
1 The proposal of a well meaning
busybody that the entire American ex
peditionary force in France be called
i “Teddies” in honor of Colonel Roose
velt. has been offered, but has receiv
ed no consideration. Those who be
stowed the nickname "Sps’my” have I
(been told that they have taken a!
jliberty much resented by the American
soldiers. They have been asked to go
( about their busings. They have not
I been asked to go upon a hunt for a
nickname.
| The British sometimes are called
I "Tommies.” The French, the Begians,
the Serbians, the Russians, the numer-
I
|Ous other troops engaged in the war
ash going by their real names in the
trenches. Why single out the Ameri
can soldier as the victim of a prop«ns-'
'ity for bestowing nicknames?
| The Americans will give a good ac
count cf themselves. Their country
will be proud of them. Their fame
will furnish the name "American.”
. Why tarnish it with an absurd nick
name gotten up by agreement among,
idlers at home and foisted upon flght
ing men who are away from home and
( cannot defend themselves from the
'i well-meaning putty head while defend
fending democracy from the malignant
barbarian?
I j
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJE( TORS,
(By Julian Street.)
The established government is the!
nearest thing we have to the ideal of i
| democracy. Not everyone is pleased |
I with the established government. Nev- ,
ertheless we must defer to the laws'
'enacted by it, because those laws rep-|
'resent the will of the majority of the
j people. Though it is a very sad thing,!
| therefore, to think of the possibility ;
I that a man with sincere scruples'
against becoming a soldier may yet'
be called upon to become a soldier, a'
I few cases of this kind are of very lit-:
■ tie importance as compared with the'
necessity for general obedience td .
laws enacted by the people’s chosen '
representatives for the safety of th!
country and of the democratic form of
' gevernment.
I Were this government a merciless!
'autocracy, I should be concerned as'
| to the fate of the Quakers, and such,!
I under the draft; but this government'
is far from merciless. Those highest
in authority are, in many instances,'
' themselves pacifists or former paci-'
fists. Their errors have been on the
r |
side of pacifism, rather than on that
if militarism. Militarism has never'
been a danger to this country—from i
within. Our danger has always been
of precisely the opposite character. In,
'practically all our wars we have suf-'
j sered needlessly'because of our stub-'
j bornness and stupidity in confusing |
the idea of preparedness with that of.
despotic militarism. In fact of the |
development of aggressive autocratic
nations whose ideals are so opposed to
ours that it is impossible for their :
ideals and ours to exist, at the same!
time, in the same world—our govern
ment consistently refused to prepare
for war. In face of the present war in
Europe, it refused to prepare. In face !
of repeated aggressions by Germany it
refused to prepare. Had this not been
the case, we should have been ready,
when we did enter the war, to make
ourselves felt at once, and thereby!
to bring the war so much nearer its ■
end. The situation in which we find j
ourselves is indisputably the result of |
pacifism. In view of all this, is it
reasonable to suppose that, now that
our peace-lovng government has
found it necessary to go to war, it will
fail to deal as justly and humanely
as possible with all classes of Ameri
can citizen? I think not. I think
that those who are devout conscien
tious objectors, such as the Quakers,
will be exempted from military ser
vice without difficulty; and I believe,
moreover, that Quakers, and others
of similar belief with regard to war,
will, because of their own self-respect,
find other ways in which to serve.
I The great danger, then, as I see it.
!is not that those who should be ex
empted will fail to obtain exemption,
I but that slackers will attempt to ob
tain exemption by urging “conscien
tious objection” as an excuse to avoid
duty. All manner of visionaries, sen
timentalists, crank s and persons of
warped mentality will also, doubtless,
attempt to obtain military exemption
I on the ground of anti-military convic
tions, and will, I suppose, attempt to
! figure as martyrs when they refuse to
| be drafted and are punished therefor
j —this in spite of the fact that the man
■who refuses to be drafted on the
ground that he is a “conscientious ob
jector,” necessarily sets up his own
' views against the will of the majority
land, therefore, against democracy and

Dr. Frederick Jacobson Says 75 per

give them Strong, Healthy, round

break down. Thousands of
women grow strong in Na
ture’s way.
“Consider the Lilies of the Field, How
They Grow.”
The life of the lily is but a few weeks
or months. The life of woman is
j “three score years and ten.” But to
(live one’s life in its fulness, women like
j the lily, must be nourished by those
j same vital elements which nature pro
vides for nourishing every living thing;
'an dthese include the valuable phoss
iphates so often lacking in the usual
I food we eat today. Argo-Phosphate is
I rich. in these wonderful elements. It
: contains them in concentrated tablet
I ferm which is easy to take and quickly
assimilated and absorbed into the
■ system, and from youth to old age,
i builds and rebuilds body and brain in
I beautiful harmony with Nature’s per
ifect plan. “That’s why” Argo-Phos
, phate makes good solid flesh and mus-
I cles.
I SPECIAL NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate
I contains the Natural phosphates which
j thousands of physicians are prescrib-
I ing daily to_build up thin, pale, color-

SHOEMAKER PLEADS THAT
FILL SEED (HOP BE SAVED
' WASHINGTON, D. C„ August 29.-<
■ At the request of D. N. Shoemaker, ot
i the Pomology and Horticulture divis-
I ion of the United States department of
I agriculture, the National Emergency
I Food Garden commission today began
j sending out a plea of the department
to save the seeds for next year s neecs.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the commission, directed that the leaf
let issued on this subject by the de
partment of agriculture be placed in
every letter sent out by the commis
sion.
"This will mean tremendous circu
' laticn,” said Mr. Pack, “for we are
| handling thousands 'of pieces of mail
[matter every day. In addition to our
i big regular mailing list we are get
ting thousands of inquiries from sec
retaries of fairs and war garden ex
hibitions in regard to our awarding
$5,000 in prizes and national certifi
cates of merit for the best canned veg
etablts grown in war gardens, and we.
are very glad to be of assistance to
the department in food conservation
work.”
The leaflet on seed saving outlines
I the work that should be done in get
' ting ready for next year’s sowing and
? 1
• makes valuable suggestions as to se-
I lections. This leaflet will be sent by
the commission with its canning and
drying manuals to any who ask for it.

“A SPLENDID TONIC’’
1
J Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc
i tor’s Advice, Took Cardui
And Is Now Well.
Hixson, Tenn. —"About 10 years ago
| I was...” says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place. "I suffered with a pain in
my left side, could not sleep at night
with this pain, always in the left
side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I
took one bottle, which helped me and
after my baby came, I was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.
I at first let it go, but began to get
weak and in a run-down condition,
so I decided to try some more Cardui,
which I did.
This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. It
has been a number of years, still I
have no return of this trouble.
I feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommend it as a splendid fe
male tonic.”
Don’t allow yourself to become
weak and run-down from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sideache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou
ble. Other women get relief by taking
Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.
