THE BEE HIVE PHONE 01 JACKSON ST. News Advs Bring Results TIMEFORARGUMENT HAS NOW CEASED Every Man Must Put Shoulder Jo the Wheel in This World-Wide War. NO SELFISH INTERESTS Any Person Thinks of Self Instead of America Is on a Pur With Uniformed Soldier Who Deserts His Hunks. America's one and only business today is war. Whether we like it or not, we are at war, and war to the death. The time for argument has passed. Ixever since the battle of Lexington have the people of this country been faced by the absolute necessity of Instant and united ac tion as one man, or let American lib erty and justice perish from the earth. The United States must MUST, not ought to place 5,000,000 of her very best men on the battlefields with her allies at the earliest possible hour. They will go. From farm and factory and workshop they will go, ready to offer "the last full measure of devotion" to their country. No one should stand In their way, or seek to have them or any of, them re lieved! of the responsibility to which their country has called them. Rath er will every patriotic man and wo man who remains at home do his or her utmost in their absence not only to amintain present efficiency of in-, dustry, but to Increase that efficien cy. Our soldiers must be armed and fed and clothed, and the person who contributes his utmost to arm and feed and clothe them is himself a soldier. America's war motto should be: "Soldiers Everywhere." Soldiers on the firing line; soldiers digging trenches; soldiers felling trees; sol diers building railroads; soldiers building ships; soldiers making mu nitions; solders makng clothng; sol ders manufacturing foods; soldiers handling freight; soldiers producing foodstuffs every man from the plow on the farm to the rifle in the trenchf equally indispensable as a part of the great war machine that must win this conflict. The person in any walk of life, in any industry farm, office, factory, anywhere who today thinks of self instead of America is' to that extent as much a traitor to his country as the uniform ed soldier who deserts the army. Germany's efficiency has astound ed the world. 'No other nation could alone have wagedi so successful and so long a war on practically the en tire world-as Germany has. But for decades she has been getting ready. Forty years ago Germany was put ting into practice in her industries efficiency measures, that America is today reluctantly and with difficulty putting into hers. German efficiency is such that every ounce of energy of every individual is applied without lost motion to the one great purpose, and America must follow the same ironclad rule. Every ounce of hu man energy must be applied that the soil may produce her utmost, and every ounce of that produce must be made to contribute to the accomplish ment of America's one great pur pose, the winning of this war. When it comes to exemptions on account of occupation of the young man under the selective draft, sec tion 80 of the regulations prescribed by President Wilson, November 8, 1917, says: "It is the interest of the nation solely that must be subserved. The interest of individuals can not be considered as such and can only ben efit from the action of district boards where the individual interest hap pens to coincide with the interest of the nation; and, furthermore, the success of the nation's military oper ations Is the dominant object to which the conservation of certain industries is related as one means to that end." In this connection the following part of rule 17 will be of interest: "A particular industrial or agri cultural enterprise shall be found to be necessary only when it, .is shown of such enterprise that it is a well conducted and going concern, contributing substantially, and' ma terially to the military establish ment, the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of the national interest during emer gency, and, further, of a particular agricultural enterprise; that it Is ap parently producing an appreciable amount of agricultural produce over and above what is necessary for the maintenance of. those living on the place," ' N . The following definition of the word "necessary" as applied to the registrant is given In rule 18: "1. That the registrant is actual ly and completely engaged in the en terprise In the capacity recited and that he is competent and qualified in that capacity. "2. That the removal of the reg istrant would result in direct sub stantial, material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective opera tion of the enterprise to a degree proportionate to the importance of the capacity recited' in the rule. "3. That the available supply of persons competent In the capacity re cited In the rule is such that the reg istrant can not be replaced in such capacity without direct, substantial, material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the enterprise to a degree propor tionate to the importance of such copoclty. "Note: In applying rule 18 the board shall consider generally: "1. The length of time the regis trant has been engaged in the capac ity. "2. The nature of claimant's study, training and experience. "3. ' The actual condition which would result from his removal." According to the selective service regulations Those engaged in, and necessary to the effective operation of, a neces sary agricultural enterprise are to ue exempted in class 1, first called. , Class 2 will include those exempt ed in class 1, but will exempt skill ed farm laborers engaged in a neces sary agricultural enterprise. Class 3 will include those exempt ed in the first two classes, but will exempt assistant farm managers, farm foremen, etc., engaged in a necessary agricultural enterprise. Class 4 will include those exempt ed in the first three classes, but will exempt those engaged in a necessary agricultural enterprise who are act ing "in the capacity of sale man aging, controlling and directing head of the enterprise." To emphasize the importance of the farm in America's business of war is to repeat what every one knows. Every link in the great chain from the farm to the battle front must be without flaw. If one link fails, all will fail. The farm .Is the anchor link at the home end of the chain and must bear all the strain of the greatest effort Ameri ca ever made. In view of the condi tions as set forth in this article, what do you find it possible to do to add to the strength of the farm link in the chain?

This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines v the Indi gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to eick headaches,' backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form ol stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime-, stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu siastic and keep it up dally. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the Inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri ties into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do.
