ASSURANCE OF VICTORY , In writing about the great war it is always a pleasure to quote an op- i timist?one who has reason and logic and facts to hack his optimism. Such a man is Rev. Newell Dwight H ill is, pastor of Plymouth Church. He has been in France and knows conditions | thoroughly. He says: "The great problem is how to carry on until the October rains, wher the bog will hold the wheels of the German chariots until we can get another million Americans acrossai-o France with full equipment, and 50,000 aeroplanes that next winter will bomb Essen and Berlin out of existence. "At last the time is approaching when the full power of the American millions of men, American wealth. American munitions and American courage will all be focalized upon the German army, and when the stroke falls it will be liko the stroke of omnipotence. Governor Manning's patriotism does not consist in words only. He has five sons now in France fijrhtinjc for freedom. If Ty Cobb, the jcreat ball player, now in France, Rets a chance hope he will steal some of those submarine bases. A burglar broke into a real "state office inAutfUsta and left a number of valuables, taking only a Webster's Dictionary. I?ut he was not the first of his kind. Swift wrote, "Kind words, wonder where he stole them." Mr Thomas Waffles who has started a paper in Georgia is said to be a warm number. We always did like our waffles warm. MORE SUNLIGHT THAN SHADOW The Atlanta Constitution closes a strong editorial on th" war with these fervent words: "Thank God that we are sendinp across the seas a noble humanity to fitfht to the last for Humanity's sake; to strike to make the whole world human?and free, as God would have it; with homes that shall have more sunlijrht than shadow, 'under an un troubled heaven'?a safe world to live in!" A PROBLEM IN KINNERY A lady in California has caused some puzzling questions to arise by marrying her son-inlaw's father. She is trying to find out if her own daugh- ( ter's huband is her son-in-law or her step-son and if her own daughter is her daughter-in-law. Wait until the war is over and we will try to figure it out. WHAT YOUR SU>:. SCX'PTION MEANS When you su! scdie to a Liberty Loan you su-jfcr be to the sentiment that the wor'd muv' be made safe for democracy and suhj.,nibe to the fund that it to make the world safe for democracy. You suosenbe t > U"e belief that innocent women and eh'ldren on unarmed ships shall not be sent to the bottom of th; sea; that women and children and old m *ii shall not be ravished and tortii'od and murdered under the pieu of military necessity; that nurses so ill not oe shot for deeds of mercy, nor hoontal ships be sunk without war )in.f, or hospitals and un fortified cities he bombed or cannontided with lontr ranwe *'uris. You subscribe to ihe doctrine that small nations have the same rights as great and powerful ones; that might < is not right, and thai Germany shall ] riot force upon the world the domin- i ion of her military masters. ! You subscribj, when you subscribe i to a Liberty Loan, to the belief that America entered this war for a just 1 and noble cause; that our soldiers in i France and our sailors on the sea are s fighting for fight and justice. j And you subscribe to the American s sentiment thi' they must and shall be > powerful, efficient and victorious. ? e HOARD fi Plenty of home-canned fruits and ? vegetables.

The faces of babies, all waxen, that lie On the ocean's broad wave, and the last anguished cry Of the mother who once pressed her babe to her brcst And who follows him now to his watery rest, Uring woes, woes, to Germany, woes, Por surely a nation must reap what she sows. i'he wounded and helpless on sea and on land, Who are sought and destroyed by a treacherous hand. The rape of the women, the crucified ones, Those blinded and mangled by blows of the Huns, To Heaven they cry, and the answer is Woes, Por Germany surely must reap v" at she sows. And why all this horror? What, if the need? A nation athirst with ambition and greed! Desire for conquest! Desire foi power! But, hastening one, comes the reck oning hour With woes, woes, for Germany, woes When guilty and innocent reap whal she sows. S. W. I? RED CROSS EQUAL TO GERMN TRICKERY To provide for conditions brought by Germany's constant shifting ol American prisoners from one can if to another with the result that par eels of food and clothing may not reach them for weeks, the Americar Red Cross, according to . luces fron Berne, has completed co-opcrat'.ve ar rangements with the French Unite: agencies to assist in the immediaG care of all newly arrived Americans Under this arrangement, French Com mittees at the German prison camp? supply food and clothing from the: reserve stocks, until the Germans se< fit to let news of the arrival get to thi Red Cross at Berne. In case of a transferred prisoner the Germans frequently do not le his friends know his new address fo two or three weeks during whicl time, of course, he receives no par eels from the outside. Captain Provot, is in charge o French Committees in prisons in sou thorn Germany, to supply food an< necessaries to all Americans whethe newly captured or transferred, th< mnmnnf where there is .10 American Red Cros: Committee or American reserve stojl of supplies. He has requested th< other French prisoners' depots a I'aris and Lyons to send similar in structions to all prison committee! supplied by them. These Frencl Committees also report the arrival! of Americans to the American Rec Cross, which at once begins regulai shipment of food and clothing. Anj supplies furnished by the French tc Americans to maintain them until th< arrival of their parcels from Berne the Red Cross restores to the Frencl depots. The American Red Cros: is establishing American Committees with reserve slocks as rapidly as it can get in touch with groups at dif ferent orisons. Such committee's ;ti ready are established at Tuchtd Brandenburg, Yillengen and Darm studt. TRY IT SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Start* your liver without making you ick and cannot aalivate Every druggist in town?your rlruggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the *a!e of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people <now it, while Dodson's Liver Tone t perfectly safe and give better results," said a prominent local drugfist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per tonally guaranteed by every druggist vho sells it. A large bottle costs but i few cents, and if it fails to give asy relief in every case of liver slugfishness and constipation, you have >nly to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasantasting, purely vegetable remedy, larmless to both children and adults. ake a spoonful at night and wake up eeling fine; no biliousness, sick headiche, acid stomach or constipated lowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inonvenience all the next day like vioent calomel. Talfe a dose of calolel today and tomorrow you will eel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't >se a day'a work! Take Dodson's liver Tone instead and feel fine, full f vigor and ambition. A<}v. 6. RUBY. ROUTS 2 The crops in this section are suffer _ j ing very bad for rain. Y Mrs. J. P.

Then captured German officers were arro; Rant and said Germany meafit to cruch the British to earth but now they arc depressed and very anxious. They appear very willing to talk, and the tenor of their conversation may he summed up as follows: They say Germany entered the war with enthusiasm, but this has long sir.ee disappeared and the struggle has now become an economic one with Great Britain. They admit that Germany is in practically a hopeless condition, both economically and from the man powev point of \ iew, and ask whether Great Britian cannot now consider Germany sufficiently reduced to be no longer a dangerous trade rival or whether the Allies intend to crush her altogether. In the later case they, say Germany will be forced to fight to the lest but they made no effort to conceal their impression of what this means for the fatherland. They say they believe there is every disposition to evacute Belgium and Northern France and even negotiate for the retention or evacuation of Alsace Lorraine. They a^e generally unanimous in agreeing that annexations thus far made under the Berst-Litovk peace treaty were a great mistake but they think Germany cannot withdraw from affairs there. They are aware that the American Army now has assumed very fojrnida bit* proportions, and there is a general admission of the seriousness of this factor. The submarine campaign they cannot refer to without gestures of impatience. Captured noncommissioned officers attribute recent Germany defeats to in inefficiency of their air service and more especially to the inexper| ience and lack of stamina of the latest recruits who are most inadequately drilled and trained and who are physically incapable of sustaining the heavy strain of defensive warfare. The mere presence of these new recruits, they say, produces in a company a demoralizing effect upon the older men because ft indicates to what straits Germany must be reduced to employ such poor material. Our sole privilege within our tiny confines is to struKtfle towards that which appears to us the best and t? remain heroically persuaded that n?. part of that we do within those confines can ever be wholly lost.?Maeterlinck.

GREENE BUT NOW IS HAPPY aintd 10 Pounds After Tnnlac and Improved Considerably "Before I began taking Tanlac I vas the most wretched person I ex>ect you ever saw, but now I am as lappy as I can be over the good that ranlac has done for me," said Mrs. ( Vfnggie Greene, of 1219 Avenue A, Ensley, Fla. "For a long time I suffered from ndigestion and stomach trouble," she continued, "and had grown so weak from 1ob8 of energy that 1 really took 10 interest in anything. I would suffer for hours from gas on my stonach that made me dizzy and gave no palpitation of the heart. I fell jff until I weighed only 90 pounds and was so weak and run down I could not do any work about the house. I was so nervous that at times I trembled all over, and I got so cross and fretful I was not like myself it all and was growing more despondent every day. "Nothing I took seemed to reach :iy troubles, and 1 just went from bad to worse. My husband got a bottle of Tanluc for me, and as soon 1 as I began taking it I started to im>rove and begun to eat and nay appetite got better every day.

Adv A HERO'C 'OINT OF VIEW New York, August?Flat on his back n the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, W. A. Roberts, winner of the Croix de Guerre, the badge of the Legion of Honor and the Medul Militaire within hree months, is enjoying well-earned rest and is talking freely about almost everything except the bravery which caused the French Government to shower honors on him. * Roberts was assistant auditor of the Michigan Central railroad before he was selected to be auditor of disbursements for the Y. M. C. A. in France and handle more than a quarter of a million dollars a day. He left for overseas service February 12, was wounded by a Hun machine gun at Soissons, rescued a "Y" secretary amid a hail of bullets in the Toul sector and was touched up by German marksmanship again at ChateauThierry. For these things he was decorated three times by the French, but his favorite anecdote, out of all the things he saw and did in the war zone, is about "a mere mite of a woman," Anne Walcott, who, because of the extreme shortage of "Y" secretaries overseas, has volunteered for the per- +? ilous duty of driving truck-loads of Red Triangle supplies to the front. She is the wife of the chief clerk of .he naval bureau in Paris, and, according to Roberts, is doing work that thousands of able-bodied men in America are fitted to perform. "It makes you want to grab every strong man above the draft age, says ihe Soissons-Toul-Chateau Thierry hero, "and ship him overseas where he is needed." % RHEUMATISM AND GOUT A convincing fact of the remarkable power of L-Rheumo as a cure for Rheumatism and Gout is shown by the grateful letters received from people that have taken this famous prescription.
