HELP GET THE SPIES
This country has long been honey-
cobmed with German spies. Every
day or two some person who passed
as a business or professional man,
and who has been well regarded, is
caught"with the goods"and arrested.
Every state, every city, and every
town harbors these agents or allies
of the enemy who are masquerading
as peaceable citizens. Our easy-go-
ing, think-no-evil way makes smooth
sailing for pirate craft, right into
the councils of state and city, and
even our own homes. No country had
ever so well organized and numerous
a spy system as Germany has main-
tained right here in the United States
under our very eyes. The constantly

recurring incendiary fires, the ingen-
ious lies of endless variety, are both
part of the same underground sys-
tem. The Chicago Herald has print-
ed, run down and exploded more than
one hundred of these adroit false-
hoods which would pass muster with
most auditors. Here is where we
can all be alert to spot and stop this
propaganda. The next one you hear,
run it down to its source. You will
not get far before you reach some
one who can't remember who told it.
Anybody who is full of information
favorable to Germany and unfavor-
able to our cause, and who can't re-
member where and from whom he
acquired this news, will bear watch-
ing. Here is an opportunity for boys
and girls, as well as grown-ups, to
run down, locate, and explode this
work of the propagandists.
Our Medical Service.
With our troops to France will go
the largest, best organized, best
equipped medical branch in the
world's history. In the formation of
this department we have had the
benefit of the united experience of
the English and French surgeons-
general.
Few are aware to what an extent
the doctors and surgeons of the
country have responded. From no
other profession or occupation has
the percentage of volunteers been so
large.
Ten months ago in the office of
the surgeon-general, in Washington,
there were only six assistants; an<5
the total enlisted medical men in
both army and navy numbered 420,
including our territorial possessions.
When the call came, there were
143,000 physicians and surgeons in
the United States. Immediately 25,-
000 of them volunteered for service,
j Of these, over 14,000 have already
been commissioned.
The executive force in the sur-
geon-general's office has grown from
six to over 200, and here are gath-
ered each day and far into the nighl
and often all night, scores of the ab-
lest surgeons in the land. Experts
and professors from the largest medi-
cal schools and hospitals; doctors
whose books are studied at home and
abroad; surgeons Wno were earning
a princely fortune each year, to
whom patients traveled thousands of
miles; others with more moderate in-

Victory in Small Things.
Because we have so long been ac-
customed to thinking in a large way
and doing on .a large scale, it is
hard for us to realize the importance
of small things when multiplied by
millions. It is a big mental drop
from fifteen billions for war ex-
penses, to a lump of suger, or so,
more than actually necessary in a
breakfast cup of coffee. If we can't
make a saving of hundreds or thou-
sands, the saving of a little soap, or
light, or fuel, or bacon seems so in-
significant as to be useless, if not
actually ludicrous. And right here
is where we skate on thin ice. It is
easy to think in terms of bread tick-
ets and regulated rations of butter
and milk and all eatables for Ger-
many and the other European coun-
tries, but it is hard for us to see any
necessity for great economy in food
here.
If we will avoid that same condi-
tion here we must wake up arid get
busy. Some of us already have, but
most of us have failed to grasp the
problem seriously, and still think of
food conservation as intended for
some one else. The American army
at Valley Forge went barefooted in
the snow and lived mostly on corn
bread, and with what a spirit! There
should be no occasion for us to go
either barefooted or hungry, but we
need more of their indomitable, re-
sistless, unconquerable spirit, that ac-
cepts such sacrifice; as we are per-
mitted to make with the same glad,
cheerful willingness Have we lost
the spirit of *76? It is not lost, but
hid; it lies dormant because we have
not had our Valley Forge to awaken
it for more than half a century. But
how much nobler and better volun-
tarily to arouse our cleeping patriot-
ism to white heat and so avoid dis-
tress! The fact is, with the excep-
tion of the few remaining veterans
of the Civil War, our liberty has per-
sonally cost us nothing, and like
other gifts, we don't half appreciate
it.
When the present war began it
was to end in six months; then one
year; then three years; and already
it is well into its fouth year. Ger-
man propagandists in our midst
would lull us to inactivity with sa-
gacious predictions that it! cannot last
through 1918. But at this very me.
ment every man, woman and child in
Germany and Austria are bending
every effort, are stopping at no sac-
rifice that their selfish cause may
win.
Shall a single one of us do any
less than any one of them, to hasten
victory and insure Liberty for all
the World?
Exert Utmost Effort.
We have accomplished so much,
and so rapidly, that a certain feel-
ing of assurance of success in any-
thing we undertake is natural and
not necessarily egotistic. America
and England have far outstripped all
other nations in those inventions
which have moved the world forward
in its greatest physical advances. At
the beginning of the war Germany
had the largest artillery and most
deadly shells ever made; but Ger-
many did not invent cannon nor
shrapnel. She has made significant
for the first time the submarine; yet
the submarine and torpedo are not
German inventions. The steam en-
gine, the steamboat, ironclads, elec-
tric light, telegraph and telephone,
wireless, the aeroplane, the tank car,
and many other mechanisms em-
ployed in war today, are not of Ger-
man invention. Sir Berkely Moyni-
han, head of the British Medical
Service, says: "Not one single dis-
covery of first importance in the
science or the art of surgery can be
placed to the credit of the Germans."
Nevertheless the knowledge of
these very conditions will be our
great misfortune and may cost us
dearly, if, in consequence, we per-
mit our minds and energies and ef-
forts to lag for a single instance; for
while the German has lacked initia-
tive he at present leads the world in
organization and method.—H. H.
Windsor, in Popular Mechanics.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Before using this preparation for
a cough or cold you may wish to
know what it has done for others.
Mrs. O. Cook, Macon, 111., writes, "I
have found it gives the quickest re-
lief of any cough remedy I have ever
used." Mrs. Jam s A. Knott, Chilli-
cothe, Mo., says "Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy cannot be beat for
coughs and colds." H. J. Moore,
Oval, Pa., says "I have used Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy on several
occasions when I was suffering with
a settled cold upon the chest and it
has always brought about a cure." 1

"DALLAS-CANADIAN-DENVER"
(Tune of Tipperary)
By Mrs D. J. Young.
Palmer writes the letters to the boys
along the way
Telling of the great Highway, and
this is what they say:
"Call upon us any day and we will
hie away,
To make the D-C-D Highway the best
in the U. S. A."
Chorus
It's a short way over the Highway
and it's the best way to go,
It's a scenic way over the Highway
to the very best towns we know;
Good bye to all ye rough roads, fare-
well sandhills, too,
It's a short way over the Highway,
the best way that's true.
From Dallas through Canadian and
on to Denver, too,
You travel o'er the D-C-D by signs
of white and blue;
The greatest bunch of boosters that
you'll find along the way
They come from old Canadian to
boost the great Highway.
You travel on this Highway by the
signs of white and blue;
You'll find the towns await you with
a royal welcome too.
Come on friends and tourists and do
not stay away—
You'll find that friends await each
one all along the way.

OUR ATTITUDE TO-

"We do not wish in any way to im-
pair or to rearrange the Austrian-
Hungarian Empire. It is no affair
of ours what they do with their own
life, either industrially or politically.
We do not purpose or desire to dic-
tate to them in any way. We only
desire to see that their affairs are
left in their own hands, in all mat-
ters, great or small.
"We shall hope to secure for the
people of the Balkan Peninsula and
the Turkish Empire the power and
right to make their own lives safe,
their own fortunes secure against
oppression or injustice and from
the dictation of foreign courts or
parties.
"And our attitude with regard to
Germany herself is of a like kind.
We intend no wrong against the Ger-
SOLDIER AND
SAILOR INSURANCE
To the man who has gone to the
colors the United States government
offers the safest, the most liberal,
and the cheapest insurance on the
face of the earth. Approximately
300,000 men have already accepted
the government's offer, applying for
insurance of about two and three-
quarter billions of dollars. The aver-
age amount applied for per man is
more than $8,600, which is very
close to the $10,000 maximum pro-
vided for by the law.
This insurance total, great as it is,
should be only a beginning. Every
person in the military and naval
forces of the nation owes to himseh
and to those he loves to avail him-
self of the full insurance protection.
But the time in which he can do so
is limited. Prompt action is impera-
tive.
Those who joined the service be-
fore October 15, 1917, must apply
for the insurance on or before Feb-
ruary 12, 1918. After that, it will
be too late. The automatic insurance
which is provided until February 12,
1918, is only partial protection.
Parents, brothers and sisters, who
have a representative of their family
in the army or navy should, for their
own sake, and for his, write to him
at once urging him, if he has not al-
ready done so, to buy the govern-
ment insurance. They should urge
him to buy the full $10,000, and,
above all, to buy it now.
OUR STOCK OF GOLD
The gold monetary stock (coin and
bullion used as money) in the United
States on November 1, 1917, is esti-
mated in the treasury's annual re-
port at $3,041,500,000. The increase
in the past 10 months has been $174,-
500,000, and in the past three years
$1,236,500,000. In five years the
portion of the world's gold monetary
stock held by the United States has
increased from approximately one-
fifth to more than one-third.

Cured at a Cost of 25 Cfnti
"Eight years ago when we first
moved to Mattoon, I was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion and constipa-
tion," writes Mrs. Robert Allison,
Mattoon, 111. "I had frequent head-
aches and dizzy spells, and there was
a feeling like a heavy weight pressing
on my stomach and chest all the
time. I felt miserable. Every mor-
sel of food distressed me. I could
not rest at night and felt tired and
worn out all the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain's Tablets cured me and
I have since felt like a different per-
son."
