Have you subscribed to the Salvation
Army fund? If not you should.
The Salvation Army is one of the
most wonderful organizations in the
world, operating in the larger cities
everywhere. The work they do is
worthy of your recognition, atul
every American, who ignores the
opportunity to help the organization
in this drive for home service funds,
if called upon, is without the milk of
human kindness. The Salvation
Army, as an organization, did wonderful
work, during the past four
years. I was among the first to go
upon the battle fields of Europe and
administer to suffering humanity.
reports 01 tneir worx ana service
should leave no doubt in the minds
of our people as to the righteousness
of their cause, abroad or here
at home. They go where other
Christian organizations would not
think of going. They administer to
a class of people, that, as a rule the
established churches do not seem to
realize are in existence or do not
countenance. No slum is too black
and treacherous for its workers, and
no human being can become so low,
lawless and degraded, that they will
not try to help him up and set him
aright in the eyes of society.
Members of the Salvation Army
are missionaries of a different type,
the world needs more of them, and
they need our financial assistance,
and moral co-operation where\fr
they have a post.

President Ebert in addressing a
demonstration in Berlin Monday
said Germany would "never sign the
peace terms." Let's wait and see if
she doesn't.
t :
If Germany does not intend to i
sign the peace treaty presented by
the allied powers, why should she
want an extention of time in which
to consider its terms?
Mr. McAdoo, late secretary of the
treasury, resigned his job as such
because he was getting short of.
funds. He is now employed by a
moving picture corporation of California
at a salary of $200,000 per
annum, which should enable him to
"recuperate his fortune."

Because Williamsburg people failed
to subscribe the cOuhty's qdpta
in the Victory* bond drive does not
signify that they are not patriotic
aftd want the cot t of the war liqudiated.
Fact is they had sold no cotton
and very few had sold their
seed. On their cotton they had to
borrow money, to carry on farming
operations, paying interest and at
the same time paying insurance and
warehouse charges on their cotton.
In the face of these existing
conditions many of them are excus
able, although the banks made most
liberal propositions for the advancement
of money, at a low interest
rate. In other states conditions were
different and the bonds were readily
sold, the people had the money on
hand instead of a lot of expensive
cotton.
War and Woman's Attire
A short while ago Dr. Lyman Abbott
made the shrewd comment
that the press is supplanting the
pulpit. The idea was that the newspapers
prove more interesting to
the people.
But certainly the pulpit here and
there finds a preacher that is quite
equal to holding his own in at least
nno mmer nf the arena where the
struggle for the survival of the fittest
is progressing with wavering
fortunes. The newspapers is not the
only public organ that now and then
or in occasional examples, resorts
to sensationalism to win public attention.
The pulpit orator now some
times launches a bit of sensational
talk that is more startling, possibly
because of its source, than the most
morbid stuff of the yellow journals.
One of the favorite resources of
sensationalism, whether in press or
pulpit, is the old theme of women's
attire. The revenue office officials
have just been wrestling with the j
question whether corsets are underwear,
and. in order to class them as
such?for purpose of taxation?have
had to declare "vests" underwear
also. We are not clear in our mind
?not that it matters?whether the
revenue people meant "vestee," or
only the garment that men eagerly
throw away from them at the first
approach of warm weather.
And now a New York clergyman,
the Rev. Dr. John Roach Stratton,
has succeeded in stirring up the ladies
of his flock by his censure of
some of the the costumes worn at
the "I?al llleu" at the Ritz-Carlton.
? - - - - x 1
l'he Doctor tnougnr mai sonu- ui
those?wo do not know whether or
not ho saw thorn?wore too tenuous
and scant.
One of the ladies retorted, that!
"perhaps the Rev. Dr. Stratton is not
accustomed to seeing women in
evening dress."
Now this seems mild enough, but
it drew the parson's fire right away.
He came back with the "retort
churlish," that he once sat next to a
lady who was so scantily attired '
that he "positively blushed" when j
another man came up to speak to
him.
We venture to make the point
that the parson should not have
needed the presence of another male
to summon hot blushes to his cheeks.
But what seemed to hit the Doctor
hardest was the implication that
he was not accustomed to move in
circles in which ladies wear evening
HrAc? Ha bails from Virginia. and
Is proud of it. Hp said to The Tribune
Reporter:
"On the matter of this parsor^
qualifying for New York's social
set, however, I wish to say that it
depends on what the standard of entrance
is. If one who dates back on
his father's side to the Black Doug-;
lases of Scotland, and whose moth- j
er was a Virginia Carter, and who j
traces his ancestry back to "Old i
King Carter," so called becaused he;
owned in his day half of the present .
State of Virginia?if that sort of
pedigree availed for the procuring
of social distinction, there might be
no difficulty in this particular case,
but if the requirements were founded
on the size of the money bags,
and one must qualify according to
the specifications of a pork-packing
aristocracy, then there might be serious
difficulties."
"This parson" seems inclined to
wear his pride of family at least
sufficiently decollette.
After this fling, he refers the
fashionable ladies of New York to
go to the Bible for "the right standards
of women's dress." We have a
suspicion that they will not take his
advice, in spite of the Black Douglases
or "Old King Carter." If they
have not listened to Paul they will
hardly turn now to John.
But this incident suggests that
- - ? ?- ? furt nv
uie war is> respvuaiinc ivi ua >..?
treme fashions in woman's dress.
War breaks down all sorts of barriers,
liberates the feelings, and fills
the whole people affected by it with
a desire for greater freedom of
spirit and body. We shall have to
accustom ourselves?we old-timers
?to a freer and a more enfranchised
and scantily-clad world.
A similar experience was noted
after the Napoleonic cycle. The diary
of Madame Clelie-Eponine Dupont
records that the Revolution
had brought forth "a passion for
flimsy and scanty draperies that
excites comment." And Parisian
comment. Wnat sort of comment
would those Revolutionary and Napoleonic
draperies have called forth
from this Vire-inia-bred parson? We
quote a few words from Mme. Dupont:
"Whatever a dress may be, declares
this chronicler (I have a Flora
frock, a Ceres robe, a Diana, a
Vestal and an Aurora costume), it
must be transparent. A friend of
mine made a bet the other evening
at a supper party that everything
she had on, including her rings, her
bracelets and her shoes, would weigh
less than a couple of silver coins.
She took off her clothes, weighed
them, and won her wager."
What's a "bal bleu" at the RitzCarlton
to this? The parson would
do well to meditate upon what he
may yet have to face.?The Columbia
State.

Chief Negro City
Chicago is the first negro city in
America. Estimates by negro leaders
set the negro population of Chicago
at 125,000. Two years ago the
number was 25,000. Demand for labor,
high wages and the awakening
of the negro through travels induced
by the war arc given as causes

labor is employed largely by the
packing houses. It is organized and
affiliated with labor federation.. Xegrocs
have crowded the white out
of some territory*, so that it is now
impossible to define the "black belt".
Negro living conditions have improved
with growth.

Ark of the Cov*nant
The Ark of the Covenant was the
sacred chest which the Lord directed
Moses to make to contain the
tables of the law which he had received
on Mt. Sinai. It was four and
one-half feet long, two and onefourth
feet wide and two and onefourth
feet high. It was covered
within and without with gold and
was carried by staves inserted in |
rings on the corners. This Ark of
the Covenant was the most sacred
possession of the Isrealites. It was
placed in the holy of holies in the
tabernacle and later in a similar
position in Solomon's temple, where
it was closely guarded.

War Tank Tries Trip up Pikes Peak J
The "Little Zeb", one of the Rev- i
eral tanks that toured the western |
states in the interest of the Victory
loan, is shown in the June Popular 1
Mechanics Magazine making its j
brave attempt to climb Pikes Peak.
It courageously chose an unfavorable
time of year, too, when the winding
mountain road was blocked by
snowdrifts that sometimes rose in
its path to a height of 10 feet. It
waddled along finely behind its
motto "Pikes Peak or Bust," however,
until twelve miles up the slope |
something did "bust". Repairs were
made, despite a 60-mile gale, nearzero
weather, and a cracker-andsardine
diet for the crew. Then the
"Little Zeb" started again, only to
kn ct nnnnrl still short of the Summit,
and ordered elsewhere by a messenger
from headquarters.

Sniail Water Heater Can Be Packed
in Traveling Bag
A small electric water heater, only
12 in. high, shown in the June Popular
Mechanics Magazine, is now
manufactured for attachment to a
faucet, directly or with a rubber
tube. The water then flows through
porcelain tubes in which noncorrosive
resistance coils heat it progressively
to the required temperature.
The faucet from which the heated
water is finally drawn is so associated
with the electric snap switch that
the current is not turned on until
the hot water is actually wanted. If
cold water is desired, the faucet
hnn/ilr. is thrown in a reverse direc
tion, causing the water to flow
througli an unheated by-pass.

Says President Wilson Has Forsaken
Fourteen Points
An Assocated Press report from
Berlin says: "Gel-many has seized
and unfurled a new banner on which
are inscribed President Wilson's
fourteen points, which the President
apparently has deserted," said
Frfeidrich Ebert, the German President,
in a statement to the Associated
Press.
President Ebert declares that the
world's youngest republic in the
hour of greatest peril had weighed
its overseas big brother and found
him wanting.
In a statement intended primarily
for the American people, which he
designated "a moral declaration of
war upon all that remains of the old
system of interntional politics," the
first President of the German republic
discussed with outspoken
frankness the peace situation, the
state of the German people and the
prospect of the immediate future.

DOCTORS SAY THE !
NEW CALOMEL IS
BEST MEDICINE.
i
New Variety, Called Calotabe, Is ;
Purified And Refined From
Nauseating and Salivating
Effects?Medicinal Virtu^
Retained and
Improved
According to the world's greatest
physicians and medical authorities,
calomel was the best and most universally
useful of all medicines.
Medical authorities prescribed calomel
for almost every disease and explain
that it was the best and surest
of all system purifiers. They say
that calomel cleanses the liver, stomach,
bowels and kidneys and purifies
the blood from all poisons, making
the system pure and clean so that
nature can quickly restore health.
Now that science has purified calomel
of all its nauseating and dan
gerous qualities, the new kind of
calomel, called "Calotabs," is even
more popular than the old. As a liver-cleanser
and system purifier Calotabs
are more effective than the
old style calomel, yet are entirely
delightful in effect. One Calotab at
bedtime, with a swallow of water?
that's all. No nausea, no salts, nor
the slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine,
with a hearty appetite for breakfast
Eat what you please and go where
you please?there is no restriction
? ksMI or diet or danger of salivation.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist recommends
and guarantees Calotabs, and will
refund your money if you are not
delighted with them.?(adv.)
