The Government is beginning a campaign for the collection of six thousand million dollars. When this sum is collected it will be immediately paid out to re deem certificates which in turn have been issued to pay bills in eurred by the Government in winning the war. - Therfi ia a c-ood deal at circumlocution in the ordinarily simple pro cess of discharging an obligation when the bill is addressed to Uncle F.am but the piper has played and we have danced and now it's time to step up to the purser s window and pay ior tne trip. . The ' 4 Victory Loan'' it is to be called. ' Rather a happy nomenclature. -. There mav be something in a name, after all. , "Whether there are six thousand million dollarsin this one remains to be seen. ' : -; The Government treasury officials in Washington and the loan committees throughout the land declare that the big bill will be met promptly because it is a debt of honor and as such becomes a personal moral obligation lying against the conscience ot every ciuzenj , This is sound logic. v. ' ? . - " " - " We ordered the war and told our business managers to- keep on buvinsr war until we had enough of it with which to make a victory wreath. We got what we ordered, and there is no more reason for refusing to pay for it than there is to decline to pay for a cord' of wood or a thousand feet of gas with which we have warmed our selves. The warmth may have passed, but we had it, and we enjoyed it, and if we had not had it we would have been frozen. At least we would have been mighty uncomfortable. If we do not pay our coal and gas bills or our war bills our credi tors will proceed to collect by due process of law. In the latter case they will levy taxes against us for the amount due and take from . t 1 V. . S . 1 - 1 f 1 .1 1 ..!, f. . , those wnicn nave nine even tnai wnien tney nave. There is no getting away from it! The bill is just. y 5 The horse may be dead, but he surely "went some" while he lasted and we got our money 's worth. In this case our credit (which is our composite self) proposes to accept our payments on the installment rlan and to pay us interest besides. The terms are as reasonable as we have any reason to expect. Much like buying a talking machine or a correspondence course. . . .

Some will quietly "take their pen in hand'1 and go throuh thf .wgcessary motions ; others will lean toward visits from vigilance committees; but the 'big outstanding fact of the whole proceeding is that we Americans must pay our bills. A CHIP OP THE OLD BLOCK. , Theodore Roosevelt Junior is a chip of the old block. . Lvcn the big stick may develop.- , The name of Theodore Roosevelt is too important an asset in public life to be smothered under the nrosaic routine of business. Therefore the son of his father who is also a colonel in his own right is not to return to the field in which he was engaged before the war. He expects to take an important part in the organization "of the World War Veterans and has intimated his willingness to enter the public service if it is the will of his people or his party. The Roosevelt boys are all chips of the old block, and the younger Theodore may be safely relied upon to represent the family, al though' there be some older ones who think he should tarry at Jericho until his beard be growni To this he might make answer that whiskers are not in fashion and that his father didn't wear a beard, anyhow also that Jericho was where the son stood still and was no place for him.

The blood supply depends upon the circulation of the blood. This circulation depends upon the normal functioning of the nervous system. : Anything, there fore, that interferes with with nerve function will affect the health. Con tracted muscles, displaced bones or other tissues, eye strain, and errors of diet are some of the things that Interfeiw with nerve function and consequently with health. It is our tiunlness to ..correct, the conditions that -interfere with normal nenre function. We are working at our business. ; DR. A. SLAUGHTER Naturopath Room 210 U. S. Nat'l Bank Bldg. Phone 110.

Four women were members of the last Aiizona house of representatives and one of them makes the inter esting report that oj all of the "hills affecting only women's Interests the women members voted f for and against as their judgment dictated.
