Wonder if observing meatless Tues days and wheatless Wednesdays doe not make Columbia's "square meals' just a bit lopsided? But even if i does, let's be willing to fall in lin with Mr. Hoover. Ti e Germans boast of their victorie over the Russians and Italians, weak lings that are not in their class, bu they have yet to win in a victory ove the English or French. It is a cor spicuous fact that the Germans neve mention the Marne. of nations. We also believe that na tions, like individuals, must be chas tized, if they are to be kept in the straight and narrow path, and we further believe that the oft-quoted statement "the way of the transgres sor is hard, " applies to nations as well as individuals. Believing these things, we are constrained to believe that there is a great unseen purpose back of this war. Countless men, posing as seers, endeavor in their small way to discern or divine the why and wherefore of this world-wide war, and some go so so far as to try to stop it. One might as wei! attempt to dam Niagara with a stick of chewing gum as to try to bring about a censsation of hostilities before the end for which it was ordered is accomplished. Therefore, abortive efforts along the line of premature peace proposals should cease." The fol lowing from the Spartanburg Journal is apropos in this connection: "Some time ago the statement \V5s made that Pope Benedict is considering leaving Rome and Italy on a peace mission and that he is confident he can bring about some results. This report has been generally credited in some quarters and many think that the at tempt will be made but most of these are convinced that any second peace offer the Pope might make would be favorable to the central powers. "In view of the fac? that the Pope's first peace offer was such a fiasco, we think that he might do well to devote his ef forts to some other work. The Pope will never be able to bring aboutpeace and no other one living man will ever )e able to do it. A world war can hardly be ended by one man's words, no matter what those words may be." Although this war is unspeakably horrible in its every phase, yet who would have it close with the Belgians and Serbians enslaved? Although the destruction of life and property is im measurable, yet who would have the dove of peace again hover over Europe before the Prussian tyrant is brought to his knees? No-a thousand times, no. There can be no peace until the great purpose of the God of Battle is accomplished, and individuals here and there over the world had might as well be hands oil". Peace will come in its time. A Vicious Rvmor. "Amont: the many absurd and vicious rumors put into circulation these days, probably through pro German influences, is-one that thc United States proposes to confiscate money on deposit in banks. Thc absurdity of the statement is obvious on its face. These rumors arc wholly without foundation and pro bably circulated for an evil purpose The Government ha?. no power tc confiscate the money of depositors ir banks."-From statement of Secre tary McAdoo.

"For many years I have wonder led if the time would ever come when 11 could sit down to a meal and eat what I wanted, and all I wanted," said Mrs. W. L. Garvin, wife of a prominent business man of 4Uth East Hunter Street, Atlanta, Ga. "No matter how careful I was about dieting myself, just as soon as I finished eating I was all upset and sick, nothing seemed to agree with ?ne. "Of course, said Mrs. Garvin, 'my awful run-down condition was due to the fact that for many years I had suffered something awful from serious kidney trouble; then for weeks I would be tortured with In ilttuiatory r.houmatism. In fact, I was so run-down and generally 'done up' that I just about had nervous prostration. "How ara I now? Why, man, I can eat anything in the world that my appetite calls for, and that is just about everything on the menu since I began taking Vitona. All tho?e awful pains in my back and sides have disappeared. "I don't know what it is to have trouble with my kidneys any more. My friends are all asking me what is causing me to gain flesh so fast, j and I simply say one word, VITO NA." When a representative of Vitona asked Mrs. Garvin for a statement she quietly replied: "Go your limit, son, I am not much on this public ity business, but if I can help thous ands-of others who are suffering as I did, I will gladly tell them what Vitona has done for me."
