SOME THINGS WORTHY <M NOTH
Victory has coma at 1; t nd t
hearts of the world are glad. It ..
brightly the sun .bines! H >v. In
fully the stars' come out nt i . ;iv..
How the moon smiles on ur- a.- >
goes on her path acioss the heaven-.
How good everything seems. What
is the matter? Peace has come.
Slaughter has ceased. Autocracy ha.
been conquered and humiliate I. Jus
tice and humanity have tiiumphed.
But back of it all there are some
things that we, especially as Ameri
can people, should note:
March 21st, 1018, the great (1
man drive began, and the Huns, I I
by the Kaiser, were thundering a
the gates of "Amiens as furiously and
cruelly as the Huns led by Attila
struck at the gates of the Venetian
Plain fourteen centuries ago. Gres',
question marks were in the minds of
the world. Were the rights of man
and the freedom of the world to b
curtailed by a demon-possessed na
tion obsessed with the pit-inspired
philosophy of the insane Nietzsche?
Such unspeakable disaster actually
fltfoofonafl rfcnnlnn.fl flip Hnv thr* TYPO
pie of the United States fell upon
their knees before God on the thir
tieth of May. In doing this they re
sponded to the proclamation of their
Noble Christian president, who, in
answer to a remarkable concurrent
resolution of congress wrote a
searching appeal to the Christian con
sciousness of his country.
It is in connection with this pro
clamation of our president, in which
he pleaded for humiliation pnd con
fession of sin and fasting as well as
prayer for victory; to which ovei
40,000 churches responded, I desire to
call attention. What happened ?
1. The third of the great German
offensives was launched three d ivs
before the United States went to God
in prayer. It continued until atfer
vvard, but it was checked by the mid
dle of June. A month later, July 18th,
Foch took the offensive, and he never
lost it. There was no hitch nor fail
ing in all Foch’s marvelous campaign.
_Germany, on her great March try
'for victory, was stronger in war ma
terial and by a quarter of a million
men than the allied armies. Seven
days after the United States went to
prayer she reeled in defeat.
2. The first month, after the day
or prayer, closed with the definite
• repulse of the great Austrian offen
.-ive on the Italian front. The enemy
was driven back across thc Piave, and
Home announced the capture of 34,
I.U prisoners with immense quanti
ty i f war material. It was estimate
el that the ustrian casualties lay be
tween 200,000 and 250,000 men.
3. Among other outstanding evi
d tic, a of answered prayer were the
v ; of the Czecho-Slovak forces
m i in. General Allenby swept
tii.- ’links from Northern Palestine,
an , ! idgaria surrendered uncondition
ii 11y. Soon news of the abdication of
i • Ge: mr.fi emperor came, after
wh li the unconditional surrender of
Germany. Peace has come.
Genera! Koch, who is an ardent be
ll nr in prayer, tells us why: ‘‘We
were savei by it (prayer), and it was
rot the f'fst time.”
Get us consider for one moment how
Newport has celebrated the victory
s.i irraciously given us.—Debauchery
and drunkenness. Shame! Shame!
No wonder we have the “flu” and
I s Id not be surprised at anything
else. We have not only broken the
heart of God, but have thrown re
proach in the face of our own Chris
tian nation.
May we open our churches and
coma humbly confessing our sins,
giving God the just praise due Him.

DEFICIENCY AlM'KO

MADE in LEGISLATURE
S; ecial to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 22.—In spite of
the law prohibiting deficiencies in
any department of the state govern
ment, deficiency appropriations must
be made by the next legislature for
the Confederate Home, the State
Hospital and several other institu
tions, Because of the increased cost
of supplies, it has been impossible to
operate these .institutions within the
appropriations made by the 1017 leg
islature, and to not have exceeded the
appropriations would have been crim
inal. as well as inhumane, consequent
ly there will be no protest or the
technical violation of the law.

If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.
-- When your kidneys hurt nnd your hack
feels Bore, don’t get scared nnd proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
Waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 84 bouts -
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water—you can’t drink j
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salta; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few [
days and your kidneys will act tine.
This famous salts is made from the j
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with Hilda, and lias been used for genera
tions to clean end stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri
tat ion, thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- i
jure; mal.es a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep t'o-ir kid
nevs clean and active. Try this, als<
keep up the water drinking, and n
doubt you will wonder what b aine o,
your kidney trouble and backache.

Little Rock, Nov. 22.—Cash aggre
I gating about $25,000 is now in the
li^nds of the committee which con
ducted the campaign for the Girls’
Industrial School and Woman’s Re
formatory, and pledges for about
$50,000 are yet to be collected. This
report was made at a joint meeting
of the two boards Thursday, and it
was decided to continue the cam-.
paign among the counties which have
failed to respond until the full $100,
000 .asked for has been raised. Mrs.!
Jennie Erickson of the Pulaski
County Detention Home, and Mrs.
Clio Harper will represent the two
boards in the various counties.
Mrs. Martha P. Falconer, represent

approved u site for the Girls’ Indus
trial School, but it will not be an
nounced until additional acreage ad
joining it has been secured. It is
hoped to secure a location for the
VV'oman’s Reformatory close to the
institution for the reformation of
girls. Mis. Falconer announced that
the $50,000 to be donated by the gov
ernment for the two projects would
soon be forthcoming, but as it was
available only for building purposes,
the site shouTd be se.ected so there
will be no delay when it arrives.
Superintendents for each institu

that they may visit similar institu

Quality of Goods Bearing

H!S REPUTATION AT STAKE
Man Who Buys Standard Brands
From Local Merchants Knows
That He Is Getting Full
Value for His Money.
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) J
Time \%is when advertising did not i
occupy the place in the world of trade i
that it does today. It has not been
so very many years ago that the peo
ple were suspicious of advertising.
They were inclined to believe that the
merchant was trying to “fool" them
with his advertising, that he exag
gerated the value of the merchandise
he advertised and took that method
of trying to g“t them to buy goods
that he couldnot sell by the old estab
lished methods of merchandising.
Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that it is the greatest i
beneficiary of advertising.
Advertising bus done more in a de- 1
cade to establish certain standards in !
merchandise than could have been ac- ■
compiisneu m a Hundred years by any j
other agency. The manufacturer who J
a few years ago merely made and sold j
clothes now makes and sells the Blank
brand of clothes. The man who for- j
merly just made lmt.s now makes |
Blank’s hats. And so it is with every-!
thing that one buys today. Tbe luunu- j
i'acturer, by liis advertising,* has built
up his business arouud a trade name |
and if lie is to continue in business I
lie must protect that trade name by !
maintaining such a high standard of
quality that people, when they buy liis
products will know just what they are ;
getting. The consumer, when lie goes
into a store today, does not buy mer
chandise blindly, with the HOPE that.!
it w ill prove to be worth the money. ;
lie buys standard goods that bear the !
trade-mark of the manufacturer and ,
that are backed- by tlie reputation not j
only of the merchant who sells them
but the manufacturer who makes them.
This has been brought about by ad-j
vertising.
No Reputation to Protect.
All this applies to the retail mer-!
chants as a class but it dogs not ap- ■
ply to the mail order busin. ss. The j
man or woman who buys c. js from |
a catalogue house is not protected by \
the manufacturer of the goods for the ■
reason that most manufacturers who i
sell goods to the mail order houses
do . not place their names upon the
goods and therefore have no reputa
tion to protect.
The great majors iy of articles listed
and illustrated in the mail order cata
logues are included in what is known
among manufacturers as “stencil”
stuff. These articles bear the name of
the mail order house which sells them
instead of that of the manufacturer
who makes them. It can readily be
understood that any manufacturing
concern which turns out goods that
do not bear its name or trade-mark is
likely to be a very unreliable institu
tion. It is not building up any repu
tation on the quality of its goods for
its products have nothing to distin
guish them from the products of any :
other concern. With no reputation to
sustain and no chance of creating a j
general demand for its goods the ouly
concern of a manufacturing institu
tion of this kind is to make stuff as
cheaply as possible In order to obtain
ucts.
Same Price World Over.
These facts are chiefly responsible
for the generally prevailing idea that
the home merchants do not soil goods i
as cheaply as tin? mail order house.1
They do sell the same quality of goods
that the mail order house sells as
cheaply as the mail order house sells
it but they cannot sell the standard,
guaranteed products of responsible
manufacturers at the same price at
which the mail order house sells its
nameless, unbranded •* merchandise.
Standard goods bearing a registered
trade-mark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturer's
guarantee stands back of them when
they are sold in the smallest village
in the country just the same as when
they are sold in the stores of the larg
est cities.
This is what the national advertis
ing of the manufacturers has done
for the consumers of the country. It
has enabled them to go Into their home ,
stores and buy merchandise which they
know from past experience or from
the reputation and guarantee of the
manufacturer will give them satisfac
tion. They are not buying blindly
and hopefully when they buy from the
merchants In their home towns. They
are buying with the knowledge that
they are getting* their money’s worth.
When they buy advertised brands they
are getting double protection, that
which is afforded by the responsibility
of the retail merchant and that which
Is given by the reputation and guar
antee of the manufacturer. When they
buy the unknown brands of goods
that are offered by the mail order
houses they are. getting neither kind
of protection.

dumb persons in the United Kingdom,
between 3,000 and 4,000 residing in

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1^
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother’s recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
ful appearance is of the greatest ad
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don’t have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
>thcr ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage
nd Sulphur Compound.” It is very
oopular because nobody can discover
t has- been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with It and
Iraw this through your hair, taking
me small strand at a time; by morning"
he gray hair disappears, hut what de
lights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage
,rd Sulphur Compound, is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
fter a few applications, -It also pro
"uces that soft lustre and appearance
11 abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de
ightful toilet requisite for those who
’esire a more youthful appearance. It
1 not intended for the cure, mitiga
on or prevention of disease.
