his neighbor's going forth to war,
his thought involuntarily goes out
to the environment of that boy,
the conditions he will meet, and
the government which provides or
regulates them. He realizes that
the government will have o pro
vide for these boys with the sim
ple necessities, food, clothing and
shelter. It will also have to pro
vide them with training, transpor
tation, weapons, artillery and air
craft for their protection, medical
services and hospitals for their
care, and a hundred other essen
tials. And the man also begins to
realize tha.tjt is up to him in his

STANDING BACK OF THE
GOVERNMENT
Next to dishonor, war is ' th
greatest calmity that can befall a
nation. We are now beginning to
realize how far-reaching its effects
are. It is not? too much to affirm
that the war affects to some degree
the condition of life for every man
woman and child in the country.
From the loss of life itself the sa
crifice runs all the way down tjle
scale to a slight deprivation of

And we need only to see the ban
ners of the Third Liberty Loan in
the windows of homes throughout
the land to understand how magni
ficently the individuals have risen
to their duty and their opportu
nity. Everywhere in the homes of
the rich and the homes of the poor
alike the banners signal proudly :
"I have given as I can to the call
of the nation. It is my nation and
I am with it heart and soul in the
hour of its need."
We cannot estimate the aggre
gate sacrifices which this splended
showing has required. In many
many cases it meant the giving up
of comforts, perhaps of cherished
plans. But each man who has sub
scribed for his bond or bonds feels
that he is a component part of his
country, that he stands or falls
with it, and that it is a country
worthy of his sacrifice. He is in

Patriotism does not DEMAND that you eat FANCY Groceries, but
does demand that you conserve the more solid foods.
NATURE DOES DEMAND THAT YOU EAT SOMETHING.
There is no use in telling Scotland Neck people to be patriotic, but
there is no harm in reminding you of how you can assist ' your
COUNTRY and NATURE at the same time, as well as live better
be more healthful and at less cost.' '
It is not necessary, either, to tell you where

WHEN MOST NEEDED.
People are often very much disappoin
ted to find that their family physician
is away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, colic and diarrhoed
require prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before
tolic and Diarrhoea Remedy. No phy
sician can prescribe a better medicine
for these diseases. By having jt in
the house you may escape much pain
and suffering and all risk. Buy it now:
it may save life.
