22,000 Men Wanted For
U. S. Navy
U.S. Naval Recruiting Station,
514 P, 0. Building,
Atlanta, Ga.
The Editor:
Our navy today is in urgen
in d o r 22,000 men to man itb
si,.,),. In other words, we aie
short just enough men to man
tw nty-two dreadnaughts of th»
PEMNSYATANIA class, our la-
t' st type of battleships. When
it i considered that there are at
present only 60,000 men in the
Nayy it may be realized what
this shortage of men means in
the way of prepa edness of our
fleet- At this! critical time in
our natonal life it is of the ut
most importance that the Navy,
“Our first line of Defense” be
recruited up to full strength.
More men are enlisting in the
Navy now than evir before in
the history of the country.
These are young men who are an
honor to themselves and their
country and of whom every real
American has just reason to be
proud. There are thousands
more men just like these and the
Navy needs their service—not
sometime, if we have war, but
NOW.
The duty of filling the Navy
rests primarily with the citizens
of this country, and every Ameri
can citizen who is worthy of the
name should do his part in help
ing to man our ships, Ships
have been built for the defense
of the country, and now it is up
to the people to man them.
There is no time to lose. If the
Navy is called, we want every
unit of the fleet to go out fully
manned with traieeu men.
There is a prevalent idea
among civilians that “the only
time to render service to youi
country is in time of war.” Also
there has be n so much talk to
the effect that we can rise up in
our might overnight and send
forth an invincible Navy and
Army that some believe it.
Such false ideas are to be de
plored and should de dispelled at
once. Men for the Nany must
be trained before they can render
their country efficient service.
It is to be regretted that some
yarents not only use their in
fluence to prevent their sons
from enlisting but in many cases
refuse to sign the age certigcate
required. It is the patriotic
privilege of parents to inculcate
in their sons “love of country
and that his first duty is tv his
country” and those who fail do
not their duty clearly.
It is urged on all leaders of
community thought to consider
seriously the critical situation,
the imperative need of the Navy,
the necessity to be prepared to
act quickly, and to co-operate
with recruiting officers in put
ting the facts squarely before
the people.
No more patriotic service can
be rendered than to help make
the Navy what is required in
size.
Respectfully,
H. R. KELLER,
Lieutenant (J. G.) U. S. Navy.

Until a few’ years ago all
lenses were flat, because no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 00 per cent of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of

Tories give a perfect range of vis

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. 1 soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
