"Se you do" advised his chief, an ugly look in his eyes. "Tell him he gets till the next boat. If he's litre after that, he'd better go heeled, for I'll shoot on sight where ever we meet." Selfridge went on his erraml with lagging feet. He found Ellit sitting moodily alone on the porch of the hotel. In Gordon's pocket there was a note to Maodonald explaining that he had nothing to do with the com ing of Meteetse. He had expected 10 send it by the hotel porter that evening, but the curt order to lea.v-3 town filled him with a chill anger. The dictator of affairs at Kusialc might think what he pleased for all (he explanation he would get from hlw. "Tell your master I don't take crders from him," he told Wally quietly. "I'll stay till my work here Is done." They had moved a few yards down the street. Now Gordon turned, lean-loined and active, and trod with crisp, confident step back io the hotel. lie had said all that .vas necessary to say. Two men standing on the porch nodded a good evening to him. Gordon, about to pass, glanced at them again. They Aver#.

"Found a job and lost it attain," Xorthrup answered sullenly. "Too bad." "Too bad." "CASCARETS" FOR HEADACHE,COLDS, LIVER. BOWELS Enjoy life! Don't stay bilious, sick, headachy and constipated.

The whole dis trict is closed to us. We been black listed," explained Trelawney. "And we're busted," added his mate. Elliot was always free-handed. Perhaps he felt* just now unusually sympathetic toward these victims of the high-handed methods of Mac donald. From his pocket he took a small leather purse and gave a p'ece of gold to each of them. "Just as a loan to carry you for a couple of days till you got some thing to do," he suggested. Northrup demurred, but after a little pressing accepted the accom modation. "I pay you soon back," he prom ised. Trelawney laughed recklessly, lie had been drinking. "You bet. Me too." Mis companion flashed a look of warning at him and explained that they were going down the river to look for work outside of the dis trict. suddenly Trelawney broke loose and began to curse Macdonald with a bltternef-s that surprised the gov ernment agent. What struck him most, though, was the obvious anxiety ot Northrup to quiet his partner and to gloss over what he lir.d s'lid. Elliot bought an automatic re volver next morning and a box of cartridges. He was not looking for tiouble, but he intended to be pre pared for It when trouble came looking for him. In the afternoon he walked out of town and practiced Bhooiing at tin cans for half an hour. On his way back he suet Peter Paget. The engineer came straight to the subject in his mind. ' Selfridge came to see me last nigljt. He told me about the trouble between you and Macdonald, Gor don. You must leave town till he cools down. Macdonald is a bad man with a gat." "Is he? There'll be no trouble of my making. But if he starts any I'll be there. Macdonald doesn't own the earth, you know. I've been sent up here by Uncle Sam on busi ness, and you can bet your last dol lar I'll stay on the job till I'm through." "Of course you've got to finish your job. But it doesn't all have to be done right here. Just for a wsek or two —" "Teli your friend something else while you're on the subject. If I drop him, I go scot free because he is Interfering with me on duty. I'll put telfridge on the stand to prove it. But if he should kill me, his last chance for getting the Macdon ald claims patented be gone.

That is the spirit in which America has entered upon this war. There has been mighty little bombast or hurrah about it as compared to our previous conflicts. It has been ap proached more with that, sober, ser ious sense of responsibility which a man gives to an important business undertaking. Yet never was a people more re sponsive to the needs and exiafencles of a situation. Show us the facts, we have said in every Instance, and we will face tnem like American men and women. Our National, policy has always opposed any system of control which hampered or impeded the free ac tivities of the individual. But con | fronted by the stern logic of events, we laid aside our oldrtlme prejudices and traditions, and with whole hearted unanimity have made the war the one business of the Nation. We faced the facts, and saw there was no alternative but to fight; and having taken on the job, we propose to do It thoroughly and well. The American people will balk at no sac rifice which the situation demands. It is in this spirit that I have written the present article, and it is in this spirit I hope'it will be read; for it is upon a subject, generally ta booed for open discussion. Whether this prejudice is proper and well-founded, or merely an ex hibition of "Anglo-Saxon prudery and hypocrisy, " I do not consider it within my province to decide. Enough that it exists, and that, too, so widely that I am constrained to offer this explanation. Let us look at the facts. We have raised and put into training camps, either at home or abroad, an Army of a million men, and are preparing to add materially to their number. They are the vfery pick of our young manhood, averaging about twenty five years of age, most of them phased as physically perfect after a rigid examination. j .After the war is over, whether it I be of long or short duration, they I will return to resume their places ! ir. our social structure. These men will be the fathers of the next gen eration; their children will make the America of the future. It will be an inspiration to them to say, "Our fathers fought in the greatest war and for the greatest cause that the world has ever known." Our hearts go out with this army of splendid boys. We look to the Government to see that they are pro vided with every safeguard and pro tection, every possible comfort and convenience. We demand that they Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton This blouse that is made with a high collar and close, long § sleeves is a very new and a very-attractive one. As it is shown here, it is combined with a new skirt that gives a drapery at the back in bustle effect, and it is made of a fine French serge while the edges of the blouse are bound with braid. The buttons are covered with the trimming material. It is a very smart costume and a fashionable cos tume and it can be utilized for many occasions, also it is a very simple costume. Women who are practicing by home sewing will find the model especially adapted to their needs, Besides serv ing for the gown .shown here, the blouse An be used iot sepa rate wear and it is adaptable for the coat suit and for wear with the odd skirt.

We will broo kno repetition of an j "embalmed beef" scandal, no "fever | camps," no such epidemics as in pre vious wars have cost more victims than the bullets of the enemy. But, as history shows us, every ariny is threatened with a danger of a more insidious character than any shrapnel or shells or explosive bombs or poisonous gases which the Ger mans could direct against our lines, a danger more horrible in its rav ages than any scourge of pestilence or fever, for it shatters not only the soldier himself, but is passed on to | weaken and make miserable his de scendants unto the third and fourth generation. It is a menace to society which is Goods." present in peace as well, but which is magnified a hundred-fold by the peculiar conditions and circum stances of war. It is the evil whojic effects.Brieux has presented so force fully in the drama, "Damaged I do not believe in exaggerating matters, or giving credence to scan dalous or sensational rumors. But again, face the facts. Here are hundreds of thousands of young fel lows now being shaped into fighting trim at the several points of mobil ization. They are unquestionably fired by a high sense of patriotism and duty. They feel their responsi bility to the country and are cheer fully accepting the hazards and dis comforts of the soldier's life. But from the very necessities of the case they are being worked long hours at the severest kind of drudgery. It is only natural that when the soldier gets a day oft his thoughts should turn to a good time. And a "good time" with a lot of young fel lows away from the restraints of home and family, amid strange sur roundings, and out solely for enjoy ment is very apt to degenerate into excesses and dissipation. Nor will the opportunity for this be hard to find, or there be any lack of persons willing to direct them into forbidden paths; for although the immediate vicinity of the army camps may be as carefully policed and guarded as possible, it must not be forgotten that there is a large town or city within easy rea|h of many of the cantonments which these lads, many of them new to city sights, will be curious to explore. That is the situation as it exists today with our boys still largely on this side of the water. And where do they go from here? To most of these young men, very few of whom have ever been abroad and whose ideas have been gathered chiefly from novels and the exag gerated types of musical comedy, the very words "France" and "Paris" carry a suggestion of alluring wick edness, "That is the place- to see life," they are saying to themselves? and can there be any question that the majority of them will try to see It? T'nderstand, 1 am casting no as persions on the character of these brave chaps who have so unhesi tatingly answered the call of coun try. 1 agree thoroughly with Mr. Raymond Fosdick that: "A cleaner army or a finer set of young men was never mobilized under a flag." But every woman in America wants to see that army come back as clean and line as it went away. And we cannot shut our eyes to plain facts. Since human.nature is what it is—especially the exhuberant, reckless human nature of youth— it is up to the country to consider this peril, and prepare against it openly, candidly, sensibly, as we pre pare against those lesser dangers to which our army must be exposed. The best medical, sociological and military experts of the country are giving this matter their attention, and whatever measures they advise should be unhesitatingly put into i effect. But beyond this there should be an impressive persdnal appeal to every man in the ranks. In each company there should be aroused an esprit du corps on this question, sim ilar to West Point's boasted "Code of Honor," which would make every man in a sense his brother's keeper, and send to Coventry the reckless of fender. Remember, these lads are aflame with high ideals and a stern sense of duty. They are gambling their lives that America may live. Can we not ask them at the same time they are conquering the Germans to conquer themselves, and resist temp tation for the America—their Amer ica—of the future? I would not deny them one rea sonable pleasure. Sensible women would never dream of attempting to impose upon those khaki-clad bat talions the restrictions of a young ladies' seminary. But I do hope they fully realize that the womanhood of their country expects them to come back clean. Advice to the Lovelorn No Rol Harm DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have a sister of twenty, and 1 am seventeen years of age. Some time ago my sister's gentleman friend enlisted in the United States Army at Yaphank, LA J. While he was out on furlough my sister and myself were invited to his house for supper, and on leaving he asked me to write a jolly letter to him. I did so, but he did not answer.

To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of Danderine at any drug store, for a few cents, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all dandruff disappears and the hair stops coming out.—Adv. EAT LESS MEAT AND TAKE SALTS IF KIDNEYS HURT Says a tablespoonful of Salts flushes Kidneys, stopping Backache.
