In many Instances, the housewife
would not have saved anything to
speak of, had It not been for the War
Savings Stamps.
Women are quick to grasp the bene
fits from habits of thrift. Numerous
reports have been received at distrirt
hendquarters of the War Loan Organ
ization of the Fifth Federal Koservo
District of women who have started
in by putting quarters In Tlirft

EASY START TOWARD
SUCCESS FURNISHED
Wben a man gets $1,000 saved up
there are always opportunities for a
good Investment. It Is hard tu place
much less than that. That Is what
tiuallliy men who are elf-maJo ad
viae youug men to begin early and
savu the first thousand.
Until we went to war, It was hard
to get started toward that $1,000 tin
loss at leust one dollar could he put
away at a time. Small chango waa
restless and acrobatic and kept Jump
Ing out of our pockets Into somoone
else's.
Now, however, there Is an easy way
to get that first thousand. The
answer Is Thrift Stamps. They cost
only a quarter apiece and can be con
verted into War Savings Stumps. The
government of the Vulted Stutei
backs these War Savings Stamps with
a guarantee of 4 per cent, interest,
compounded quarterly. Save and suc

Secretary of Treasury Qlaea Showa
Values of War Savings and
Asks for Co-operation.
Secretary 01 aw a, la a recent Inter
view given at Washington, discussed
War Stamps as a permanent Invest
ment as follows:
"WAR Saving Stamps afford an ex
cellent vehicle for increasing capital
and earning power. Many persons
have not taken the War Savings
Stamps seriously as an Investment
hut the fact that they may be bought
in as large a quantity as $1,000 face
value during 1919. at such favorable
interest return, unktia them most de
sirable for the average man or family.
"Definite plana for the continuance
of the Issue in coming year of small
(lovarumeut securities are being work
ed out.
"Although War Savings Stamp
tmles this year do not approach the
high marks made under stimulation of
war need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been satis
factory. Savings In all channels shrank dur
ing the early months of the year, and
it Is expected that War Savlnga Stamp
sales, along with postal savings and
saving bank deposit, will grow
lAHUy throughout th yr.
"Co-opration is sought earnestly in
the matter of keeping Thrift aad War
Savings Stamps on sale, so that no
one so Inclined may fsll to have oppor
tuulty to Invest hi money wisely."

Calomel inlivntoa! It's meronry.
Calomel acta liko dynamite on a

into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilioua, headachy, con

to your druggist mid get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cento,
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Tako
a spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be

you take Dodson's l.iver Tone you

Is "How does it feel?" In other stores they ask "How does
it look?" The difference is that we will first select a hat that
