The Stabilizing of
An IntefTiew With J. Ogden Armour, the Noted Packer.
■*##*####********
tf
“The prompt adoption bx the
American people of the bualneae **
nanal’ idea, la going to enable thin
nation to proeecnte war without ex
periencing temporary depreealon
such aa England ind France hare
recently recovered from, elid J.
Ogden Armour in an Interview to
day in which he wai aaked to dia-
enaa the economic condition or tne
country. “Modern war.” he added,
“require# the expenditure of huge
Burnt of money and meana maxi
mum employment ano ihigh wages
for all worker#. Other conditions,
peculiar .to this war, maka.it certain
that this nation will enjoy a, period
of and Industrial actUity
the like of which has never been
aeen and which la assured whether
the war lasta several months or aev-
n eral years."
“Put suppose people become over-
cautiou# as the result of the preachy
tng of war economy—then what?’
he was asked.
"There Is some reason to believe."
he answered, "that economy pdes
will be misapplied for a while, but
conditions are sdch that the public
will soon see. if they have not al-
' ready, that tjlere Is no occasion
whatever for thbm to become alarm
ed. They will have more money to
gpend than ever before and they
will hot And the things they want,
^disappearing from the market.”
Then Mr; Armour launched* right
Into the whole subject, saying:
“J\ continuation of the- great
prosperity that Iras ruled in this
country for two years Is assured
There i H an abnormal demand for
everything, the workers of this na
tlon can grow or . manufacture.
There is work at high wages for
evehy man a/nd woman who. wants
work; the earning power of the peo
ple is restricted only by physical
limitations; the. buying power 'of
the public is greater than ever be
fore. These are certain guarantees
of continued prosperity find of an
ever widening scope of_our business
, and industrial life.
‘Tnder the civilian boards gath
ered together by the president to di
rect the great work of preparation,
this nation is going ahead, fortified
against delay and mistakes through
the intelligent application of the les
sons learned In England and France.
This applies >o industry as'.well.as
war. There Is abundant ■ evidence
that we are profiting from the ex
perience of Europe and that our
president and his advisers are goinn
to prevent any industrial hitch such
as preceded the prosperous business
conditions now prevailing in the
British Isles and In France.
"I consider the present the most
auspicious from the standpoint of
national prosperity. In my memory.
There is not one good reason why
the business of this country should
not proceed in its normal coups'*
and on ever increasing lines. Therh
Is not one reason why people should
fear for the future or should per-
. mil .themselves to be swayed front
the Certainty. that they are on a
soujnd financial basis. The per
capita wealth of Americaps, .today.
la gram ter than ever before—great
er than that of the people^of any
nation at any time hi the past or
at the preaent.
"Whether y»e war ends tomorrow
or whether it lasts indefinitely, this
much ia certain: The-United States,
haying possession of approximately
4ft per cent, of the world’s supply of
gold, the greatest natural resource.!
and geographical Isolation, is cer
tain to suffer less than any oth°r
nation in the war or In the whole*
world.
"The future of our natiqn Is se
cure; our business prosperity Is
founded on safe ground; our labor
situation is remarkably good and I
can not cnpcelve of a sane or Justi
fiable reaao^ why the people of th *
United States should become alarm
ed over any phase of the ,martial,
business of Industrial sltuaflon.
“The nation .has been advised to
economize on food.' Economy means
the Intelligent »#e without waste; it
doe s not c«H f°r self-denial. Econ
omy was recommended to. stop the
waste of the $7ft«,ftftft.«•»•'> worth of
fond which goes Into the garbage
pail each year. The wave of pat
riotism sweeping over the country
should pot seize upon par-emonious
economy as a means of *xp.v«j4nn.
There is no need for people to c^ise
purchasing; there is need -on.y for
the elimination of ex!r i .'X»»nces
and waste.. There no reason
whatever for curtailment of the use
of things ordi-.-lrdy n >eded 'by the
people;, there is oe»d that every
thing be put tons \ .
"As patriots It is our duty f o rt« p
the* wastage of food; as patri its it
is equally Imnprtartt that v; > do not
stop the ordinary purchasing on
which the business and Mi • industry
of tiie country are founded. ll\sfoti-
cal emnoyiv fs as much a-menace to
the nation as-is prod'gal waste J-fie

that our nation mat ^ninta'n 'Iself
oh a sound economical and indus

for the freedom of mankind.
"Faith is the ere*! need of the

ists to increase the food supply to
provide a surplus for our alllei. and
faith in our government whith lias
taken hrdd of the problems before
it in a way that demonstrates it is
deserving of out"faith.
"If I were asked," cou'dilded Mr.
Armour, "to give a message to tie
American people—to -the farmers,
the wage earners, the 'merchants,
the manufacturers snd ail—it would
b%> this; ‘ Be strong in your fal»h

Nmclie and Judaon' Searson. ’
Little Novdie Searson, our dear
est little nine year old son, that
died in o.ur home January 11. 1917,
was one of the brightest and most
obedient children there was. He
died of acute indigestion, and was
sick just a abort while. He is miss
ed by everyone that knew him.
The blessed Lord called little Jud-
son Searson, my sweet baby, who
would have been six years of age
August 5th. God called little Jud-
sen away May 9th, 1917. He died
.of congestive chills. _ -
Oh, how little Novdie and Titt^
Judson are missed. Little Judson
was the brightest little boy, and
here never will be another like him
in our home. God had need of lit
tle Novdie ancj little Judson for
Sunbeams to shine each • day for
Him. Oh, Lord. I remember last
that my baby did on earth to his
mamma to beekin with his Tittle
hand In his mamma’s face as. the
last breath was leaving his little
body. He will he well remembered.
AJI will be done that can be to
meet the little '. angels at the
havenly throne.
Sleep on little baby# and take
your rest till my day comes. Our
children are crossing over. We
miss them from our side. Their
places will be filled here never. Our
children have left us to cross over
the Jordan tide and are crossing
on v by one till we all slfall be gath
ered home. Their Mother,

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
l leads straight to a breakdown.
To comet nervousness, Scott’s Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
: rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
ythe whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
