THIS war is awakening men to the truth about a lot
of things besides Preparedness and chewing to
bacco is one of them. Soldiers are strong for W-B Cut
and the facts are right before you. These shreds are all
tobacco, no gummy sweetening. rick tobacco more sap
in the leaf than in ordinary tobacco by a long shot.
That's why it's so satisfying and so economical a little
bit goes a long way.

To Reduce Cost of Living, v
SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 28. Spe
cial.) A society with a long name
but a short purpose is the "Associat
ed Fraternal Church and Labor Or
ganization of Spokane.'.' The purpose
is to reduce living cost
The organization came into exist
ence a few weeks ago when a number
of representatives of the several bod
is got together to work out a co-operative
buying scheme. By pooling
their purchases it was easily shown
that a worth while saving could be
made. The idea was adopted on a
small scale in the purchase of fuel
and the results were so satisfactory
that membership in the organization
has grown until several hundred per
sons are now included. A nominal in
itiation fee is charged each member
and the expenses of the business are
divided among the several buyers.
The managers have opened head
quarters in a dwelling house on Third
avenue, in Spokane, with F. C, Camp
bell and a clerical force, in charge
Coal, flour and wood are the principal
commodities so far dealt in. The
movement is attracting considerable
attention as its possibilites are being
speculated upon by wholesalers and
retailers.
A Valuable Health Hint.
If the Ibowels are not working reg
ularly, undigested food in the stomach
may set up a condition of auto-intoxication
and polluto the whole system
with poisons in the blood stream,
Foley Cathartic Tablets keep the
bowels open and regular, the liver ac
tive and the stomach sweet. They
cause no pain, nausea nor griping.
They relieve indigestion, sick head
ache, biliousness, sour stomach, bad
breath or other teonditions caused1 by
clogged bowels. Sold everywhere.

SPOKANE WANTS
AVIATION CAMP.
SPnTf ANPV Wnah.. Alio-. 28. A
vio-nrnnq pffnrf is heinp made to se
cure the location of a Government
camp at Spokane. For the past three
weeks an. energetic committee has
been visiting available sites and se
curing' data such as the Government
requires in making its selection. The
committee believes it has a good
chance to make a showing because of
the large number of locations ana tne
geographical situation of the city.
Many locations have been offered but
the committee has kept in mind the
Government's requiremnt as to size
and accssiibilitv and now has about a
dozen proposals to lay before the
Government. The Government re
quires at least 50 acres of ground and
prefers an inland city with favorable
climatic conditions. Level ground is
desirable.
. J. C. Ralston, fnrmerlv city engi
neer, has gone to Washington, to pre
sent the matter to the War Depart
ment officials with the assistance of
GunoWo Prnnrlnvfpr Ann! .Tnnps who
have promised to give all aid in their
power. The financing of the prelim-
inflrv Ttrnrlr nnrl inclllflinp' nil the sur
veying1 donp to date end the exnens-
es of Mr. Ralston are bring borne by
general subscription in Spokane.
The establishment of a Government
aviation camp would be a big' adver
tising feature for the whole Inland
KmnirA. Hrnwinfr nn unusual amount
of the highest class of publicity be
sides (riving employment to an army
of skilled mechanics.
After walking a long way t heard
voices and turned on my flashlight.
I thought I saw only half a dozen men
and I ordered thorn to put up their
hands and come along. When t dis
covered as they filed past me that
there were a good man niihj than a
half dozen I began to got uneasy,
thinking of what might happen when
they got out The fortieth and last
man was an officer. We walked out
together and there we found several
British soldiers had taken chargo of
the Germans, just as thsugh the whele
thing had been prearranged. I den't
know where our men had coma- from,
but they looked good to me."

Every parent is, or should be, care
ful in giving medicine to children.
Chas. Baker, Brownville, Tex., writes:
"For some years past I have used
Foley's Honey and Tar and have found
it especially efficient for bad coughs
of my children. I always recom
mend it to my friends as a safe rem
edy for children as it contains no opi
ates. My wife would not think of
using any other kind of cough medi

lasting relief' It checks croup. Sold
