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. '■ 1 ■ 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 i Beautify Ycur Complexion Not artificially, but perma j nently, by drinking a glass of | this delicious digestant with each I meal Shivar Ale PURE DIGESTIVE AROMATICS WITH SHIVAR MINERAL WATER ANO GINGER Clarifies and puts roses and beauty in sallow cheeks of old and young.

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.

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.

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.
