AFTER PEACFJ CAMOl FLAtJK Germany always atrlkes hard and unexpectedly at a new point after one of her political offensives in the form of cunning peace-camouflage. So the commanders of the Allied armies had better be on their guard and increas ingly vigilant from day to day. Lately we heard that Germany must and would make a peace of great concessions, and those who have learned nothing by experience im mediately began to figure on a prompt ending of the war. More re cently we heard, t hat the jingoes were again in command in Germany and that through a peace of concessions would be made on the east in order to secure Russia as a base of supplies, the war for conquest would be pushed on the west, Germany being deter mined on retaining the coal and iron lunda of Helgium and France. We hear much from Germany and mostly only what the Germans want us to hear: but all that we real ly know with certainty is that the PsaCS) camoullag scheme ia an es tablished German policy and that after every Buch effort to fling duat into our ayes the Huns sxriko sudden ly and hard. The obvious thing to do therefore, Is to stop speculating about the end of the war and 'prepare on every battle front to repel Germany's next blow.

HIGHEST QUALITY HIGHEST AWARDS household from Secretary McAdoo asking all to buy war savings stamps ought to receive practically universal attention, because a practically uni versal response in the matter of so small an outlay is altogether possible. The war savingn and thrift stamps in denominations of l$5 and 2.rccnts re spectively will not only raise funds to help the great cause but provide l good interest -bearing investment for and encourage habits of thrift in th ehild, the youth, and the man and woman of small means. The money put into them la not necessarily tied up till 1923. but can be embed at the post office at any time. The inci dental uses Of the .-: tern, in addition to the opportunity offered every body to serve our eOUOtry at rwar, are pointedly set fourth by Cardinal Gib bons in his appeal for a universal response, There can be few people, he notes, whose circumstances will not permit them to buy at Intervals the twenty five cent thrift stamp, and with each purchase gain step by step DOOMSSt in of the war savings stamp, ror ea:'i one of which the credit and resource! of the United States are pledged o re turn five dollars for what now costs four dollars and twelve cents. "I earnestly commend to young and 'old this simple and easy method of ac quiring the habit of thrift. Many sorrows are avoided and much hap piness is to be gained by the timely application of the principles of thrift. To the building of character it brings profitable ackuaintance with self-denial and self-reliance. We have reached a time in our national life when no loyal citizen of this country can afford to spend a dollar for waste ful luxuries. Such an expenditure resolves itself into a disloyal act. Wel come Indeed, therefore, is the oppor tunity offored throught the sale of these war savings stamps." The Cardinal adds, with self-evident truth thatito buy them is "not only a pri vilege but it is the clear duty of every American citizen, young and old." rrizKNsHip in N Kit It ASK A Some headway is making in the de mand that aliens be deprived of the right to vote in Nebraska. Our conti tutional provision on the point is one of the most liberal in the union, pur posely made so at the time the consti tution was adopted. Six months' residence and a declaration of inten tion to become a citizen is all that is required of the foreign-born to permit him to vote. When our state consti tution was framed Nebraska was be ing settled up rapidly and largely by men born in Europe. It was thought desirable that theDe be extended the privilege of full cltiznshlp as soon as possible. Conditions hr.ve materially changed since then and full partici pation in the government of the state deserves higher value. Disclosures made possible my the selective draft law have astonished those who come into contact with the truth. A surprisingly large number of young aliens have made declara tion of intention to became citizens, but have proceeded no further, some allowing t'ac time for applying for full citizenship to expire and filing a sec ond or even a third declaration. This deals only with those of draft age and does not include the older men, many of whom must be in the same pro dicanient. If American citizenship is worth having, it will be appreciated by the foreign-born resident only when he is Impressed with the fact. No hardship is involved in requir ing him to complete his application for naturalization. If he does not he should have no part in our govern ment. Bee. THE BOLDfER VOTK Governor Neville c!t-3, as an ob jection to calling a sr.-.ylnl tion of the legislature to enfranchise Ne braska's soldiers, v clause of the hi Constitution which h" thinks prohibits votes for such of the sol diers as ii.ive !) on placed In the so called rej-ular army SS distinguished fnMB the national army and the mil itia. This would debar about 5,000 Nebraska men of their vote to nom.i' ter what the legislature Ml f tat di, since the constitution could not be changed in time to afford rvlMf. The provision in question l.s the follow ing: "Every afeator in the acinal mili tary service of the I Tnit d States or of this state, and not in the regular army, may WOfOlSS he ritM of mif f.age at such place : nd tinker Ittek regulations as may be provided by law. " We submit to the common sense of persons able to read the English lan guage and to Interpret tha rpirit of Am , i : n law that there ;s nothing in this provision to OiSirattCblM any Nebraska voter who has J ined the rirmy for nvrvicc in ihls w.-.r. The contrary La true. It la a specific au thorization of the legislature to en franchise absent soldiers. What the f ranters of the consti tution were Intending to do is vlous. Amearica, like all democratic which has cut their eye teeth, is afraid fo large standing armies. Such armies have too orten been in struments for suppreon of demo cracy to be viewed with confidence by democrats. And so the fprmers of the N3braska constitution wisely wished to provide that the profes sional saldicr. the member of a stand ing army large or small should not be able to add political to military pow er They disfranchised nun of tne "regular" army, meaning cf course, the standing army, the professional army. Why else should they make specific provision for voter, for elec tors in the military service of the Vnitcd State.', other than the "regular army?" Obviously so as not to d privc of their vot v, men who go in:o the army temporarily In war time. it would be safe to w?.g . the cost of an extra pession agalnsl Gover- KAISKRS POEM NOT ALLOWKD A report has been received at the Herald office that the school teacher in District No. 20 would not allow one of her pupils to recite a poem, at Xmas exercises directed against the Kaiser. A number of the patrons of the district are quite indignant about the circumstance ;md have left the poem at this office for publicat ion. The poem that the teacher censor ed Is as follows; The Kitlsers DptSMB There is a story, strange it may seem. Of the great Kaiser bill and this won derful dream. Ilcing wearied by his toil, he lay down In his bod. And among otfa r ; hinus he dreamed he was dead. And in a coffin lyinc In State With a crowd of brave mourning his fate, He was not long dead when he found to his cost, His soul like hi3 soldiers would soon be lost. On leaving this earth to Heaven he went. And arriving up there gave r knock at the gate. St. Peter looked out and exclaimed loud and clear, Try down below Bill you can't get in here. The rest of tho poem poes on in this vein and in its place a clo m piece substituted. CLEAM t'P GARDEN TllRAsil Runt Weeds and Rubbish That May Harbor Iiimect (her Winter A number of the younger set were entertained at the home oftMiss Irene Rice last Thursday evening. The evening was informally spent and a fancy lunch served. The H. H. Club met at Mallerys last Thursday evening with Flora Mae Smith. Throughout the United States are plots of ground cultivated last spring and summer as temporary wnr gard ens. Where those plots were suit ably located, with due attention to sunlight, abundant crops tof vegeta bles, especially for family use, have bwfl produced, but quite too fre quently such plots have become gen erally neglected, with t)M result that much material in tho form of crop remnants and rank weeds will re main 'hrougb tne winter, favoring ! din ing the autumn ithe continued j multiplication of certain rorni3 of in sect pests, and during the winter a Belgians inarp harbor for tho inserts to pass the ooiner mom ns. . -xi spring i neye in sects will reappear, and If the name plots are selected for planting there is grave danger of serious Injury, par ticularly soon after plant ing. The methoda employed in commer cial truck gardens and farms to pro vent the wintering-over of insect3 in the field should bo put into practice in tne cace of the war or "back-yard " garden. Kntomologists of the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture advise that as soon1 as a crop nan been harvested the remnants should be promptly cleared away and burned with the insects which they harbor. The same applies to weeds. Including grasses which spring up between the rows. Rubbish of all kinds should bo carefully collected and de.tfnyeJ in the samo manner that no shelter be left for the insects during the winter. Try to induce your neighbors to carry out the same measures; other wise you may fail. Effectual "I have taken a great many bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and every time It has cured me.

What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of fu- ure results. Anyone with a bad back; any reader suffering from urlnar troubles, from kidney Ills should find comforting words in the following statement. Mrs. Cella Weaver. 122 Yellow stone Ave., Alliance, says: I was troubled by kidney complaint for some time nnd learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I began taking them, procuring them at Holsten's Drug Store. I can say in all earnestness that they can't be excelled for curing backache and kidney ailments. It took Doan's only a short time to rid me of severe pain in the small of my back and after that I could stoop and stra'ghten without suffering." The above statement was given July 20. 1910 and on June 7, 1916, Mrs. Weaver said: "I seldom have need of Doan's Kidney Pills now as I am never troubled the way I was be fore using them. I take a few now and then, however, and they always drive off any threatened return symp turns and keep mein good health." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pill the same that Mrs. Weaver had. Foster-Milburn Co Mfgrs, Buffalo, N. Y.

MAZOLA the pure oil from corn for better cooking WHEN housewives first adopted Mazola they found the deep frying, sauteing and shortening medium which they have been seeking for years. Mazola browns food quickly, preventing any penetration of oil and gives crisp, delicious dishes free from sogginess, easy to digest. The results are so much better than with lard or compounds that Mazola is used in thousands of American homes. And now when Food Administrator Hoover asks us to save butter, lard and suet, the housewife knows that she has a really good vegetable oil. With Mazola she can help save the country's resources and at the same time give her family the best of food at a notable saving in cost. Unlike other mediums Mazola does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another can be used over and over again a great factor in economy. And when you want an especially delicious salad dressing, use Mazola. There is no need to give up salads because of the uncertain supply or high prices of olive oil. Mazolacan be had from your p-rocer in pint, quart, half- gallon and gallon tins. Ask him for the free Mazola Book of Kecipes, or write us direct. Your money refunded if Mazola does not give entire satitfaction. CORN PRODUCTS REFINING COMPANY 17 Battery Place, New York SALAD AMU COOKING asava.y- EHI CsrUn&Jctfrey Co. OaMfca, NaWaaka
