"The BAT" No Time Limit- Fight To A Finish 2 Other Good Fast Bouts Bonds Fight The Axis The American people: will. decide whether or not the nation will be forced to adopt and accept: compulsory purchasing of Wart Bonds.

According to Secretary Morgenthau, it will be necessary for us to buy $1,000,000, 000 worth of these bonds each reonth, If we do that voluntarily there will be no need for compulsion: If we don't, compulsion will be inevitable, Some may wonder why the government can't pay 'for the war simply by selling more bonds to banks: Secretary Morgenthau recently pointed out' that: excessively heavy; bank purchases are inflationary, "because" when commercial banks buy Government Bonds they do not pay for them with actual cash taken from their vaults, but by placing on their books newly created deposits to the credit of the givernment. When the government draws upon these deposits to pay for the goods and services it buys, the (purchasing power of those to whom these payments are made is increased without any decrease in the purchasing power of those from whom the money is borrowed." Increased purchasing power combined with a decreased supply of goods is the centain road to disastrous inflation. The government wants you to buy bonds and it wants to deny yourwith every nigel you can spareselves luxuries so you can buy more. No man. can make a ter purchase than the he securities which buy weapons to fight the Axis.

The Entrance is the gift of Dr. Theodore K. Lawless of Chicago, Illinois, one of America's most distinguished dermatologists and for' a number of years a member the faculty of the School of Medicine of ern University. Dr. Lawless' gift commemorates the service of his equally distinguished father, the late Dr.

Alfred Lawless, who for a number of years was an outstanding leader in religious and educational circles in the South. The elder Dr. Lawless was a graduate of Straight College, one of the institutions that merged to form the present Dillard University, and after his graduation served on the faculty of his Alma Mater. He was founder of and pastored for some years the Beecher Memorial Conleans, and became the gregational in New OrChurch, general of the southern church work for the Congregational Church. Dr.

Alfred Lawless' influence in educational and civic affairs was as wide as that which he wielded in religion for the worked to persuade public education officials in the South to raise the standards for Negro education, and to provide wider educational opportunities for Negro youth. At the time of his death in 1933, he was a member of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The Memorial Entrance comprises two imposing columns of Indiana Linestone that flank the main driveway, a wrought iron fence with gates for pedestrians at either side and an attractive shelter for students. It materially enhances the beauty of the Dillard campus, already famed as one of the most attractive college grounds in the South.

8th Ironton, Ohio Manning Herb House, Bessemer, Ala. Dear Dr. Manning: It has been awhile since I have written. I have obtained wonderful results. I am not bothered with Asthma any more not in the least.

I have been taking your treatments more than 3 months. Now in one letter you wrote you said 3 months was sufficient. But I don't want you to think I am in the, least bit tired of your medicines; they are wonderful. I do all my work now, even rake my yards off, sweep the walks and scrub down porches, clean woodwork, lift tubs half full of water. I believe I am cured of Asthma, Burnett's JEWELRY CO.

"A 'Spare' the Doctor' campaign might: be promoted on similar grounds, Few people appreciate ho many physicians are being siphoned off into the armed forces and how great an added burden this imposes on' the doctor who remains: at home, Few lize, therefore, that continued good medical service depends on the doctor to conserve his time The more time the doctor can save in travelling to see his patients, the more time he: will have to treat them." Thousands of doctors are being: called into military service.

Thousands more will be called as the Army and Navy grow. So a doctor. who stays home will have to take care of a great many more patients than in the past. The doctor will do his best But there are only so many hours in the day, and each hour wasted means that an hour less can be given to people who really. need attention.

Don't ask the doctor to make house calls when you are; perfectly, able tb go to his office. Don't expect him to sit around and talk about matsters. Don't try to turn a pros fessional visit into a social occasion. The American people: are' used to the best medical service on -and they will continue: to receive that kind of service: if they give due consideration to) the fact that the doctor is one of the busiest ofmen.
