not deserving of .he condemnation
which attaches to sailor or soldier who
falters? There is no difference.
; -Does your country demand as much
of you as of those who are called to

The government lays its hand "upon
the shoulder of the young man,
strong, virile, buovant with youth's
ambition, and says . "Some, I draft
vou: I take you from home, from

The government has the right, too,
to demand and to confiscate your
property. If it were to enter your

Pray, if your Givernment demand
this toll, would it demand as great
a sacrifice as it demands of drafted
soldier or sailor, when it requires his
service and his life? "Greater love
hath no man than ihis; that he give
bis life for the brethren."
Reflect upon these facts. The Con
gress appropriated at- its laat session
$21,390,000,000. To be exact. $21,390,
730,940.46. This sum is said to rep
resent nearly half of the annual in
come from all sources, including la
bor and investments, of the people of
the United States.
The total expenditure of the gov
ernment, including the cost of past
war and every other expense, from
1791 to 1917, was a little, over $26,
000,000,000, or only abut $5,000,000.
000 more than Congress appropriated
at its last session. The necessity was
recognized and the responsibility as
sumed by all parties in making these
huge appropriations, because of this
colossal war.
- The per capita savings in the
United States is estimated at $50.00,
in Denmark and- Norway at $70, in
Switzerland at $86, in Australia at
$91 and in New Zealand at $98.
We in this count: y are extravagant;
get the highest wages, have the best
opportunities, but don't save, as do
the people of other nations.
We cannot divert our past savings
which are invested in stocks, bonds,,
factories. machinery, farms and
homes; but we can cut down our ex
penses, but no unnecessary article,
release labor and material to fill de
mands for goods actually needed, so
that the labor and material may be
employed in producing necessary
goods, and invest our savings in war
certificates.
Enough may be fcaved this way to
finance the great expenditures of this
Lack of Food and Lack ol
ity To Eat Both Mean Star
vation Because There Is
No Nourishment
A. man may starve, and yet have no
feeling of hunger. The fact that hi
wants nothing to eat might mislead
him into the belief that he need noth
ing, but the body knows botter and
every person who does not have ?w
hearty, normal appetite is steadily
wasting away. H. J. Pool, living at
218 S. Bloodworth Street, Raleign,
had no appetite and his body wa&
under nourished tcf over five years.
Now he says that he is a regular at
tendant in the dining room and that
his stoma-ch is again "on speaking
terms with steak aTd onions." Mr.
Pooy 6ays:
"I was a victim of Liver and Kid
ney trouble and Constipation for over
five years and could not get any re
lief. I could not eat any kind of mear,
even the sight of it sickened me, ana
I steadily lost weight. I spent a lot
of money trying to improve my health:
but got no satisfactory results until I
took Peplac. My stomach and meat
are now on good terms; I eat steak
and onions for breakfast and fel
"bully." I told my father of the great
benefit I had received from Peplac,
gave him a dose from my bottle, and
he was so well pleased with it that
he is now taking It himself."
Eating is one of the most importan
functions of the human body, and next
to that'eomes the elimination ofj wasu.
If either of . these functions becomes
impaired the other is certain to be
involved, and the person so affected be.
gins to steadily decline in health and
strength. Peplac has proved a e
pendale remedy in cleansing the ali
mentary tract, toning up the stomacn,
restoring appetite.
Peplac is sold at R. R. Bellamy
drug store and by all progressive druip
gists in Wilmington and vicinity.

In this form the Fowler is used after plowing and harrowing to prepare a seed
bed. All the fine soil slips between the upper and lower blades, forming a seed bed
which is a perfect mulch. All clods, trash or stones, unable to pass through the
narrow space between the upper and lower blades, slide, along to the ends of
the blades and are left in the middles between the rows. In doing this the upper
blades move just above the surface of the ground nd act like fender?. No other
rutlrator will remove from the seed bed all clods, stones and trash and leave a
perfectly level surface consisting only of fine pulverized soil, in which to plant the
seed. The Fowler is also used in this for n. when run deep, to throw np a raised
seed bed, completing the bed at one trip through.
Directions for, Operating Fig. 2
With the Plew Foot in the center removed the Fowler is used . f or early cultiva
tion astride the row; barring off and cultivating both sides of the" fow at one trip
through. By the action of the upper Blades only fine pulverlred soil is left on
either side of the growing plant. All grass and weeds are cut off - and left on the
surface to die. The FowlejL leaves a perfectly level surface behind it, entirely
frw rom little furrows which woniri eaue washing, during heavy.. rains. In a dry
season the fine dust mulch mad by this Cultivator conserves the .moisture and
plant food and yet offers an" ldaal Burface for receiving even the slightest rainfall.
This work astride the row can be done with one horse by bitching to the 6lde
clevis.
Directions for Operating Fig. 8
When plants become too large for cultivating astride the row; ; short Blade is
attached on the right to throw the fine mulch prepared . by previous cultivations
to the roots of the growing plant. In this" case the Plow Foot is replaced and the
long Blade on the left destroys all weeds and further pulverizes the soil between the
rows. Note that the upper Blades are taken off for this work. As all trash and
clods have been removed from the proximity Qf the plants by the previous cultiva-
uons asiriae me row notnmg is now left within reach or the short Blade but a line
