People are eaaily frightened when they think something i* the matte/ with their lungs or heart, and well they may be; but few people understand the dangers of diseased kidneys. These organ* have a duty of vitul importance to perform, and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify it. When the kidneys are diseased, the poisons are spread everywhere, and one of these poisons is uric acid. The uric acid is carried all through fthe system and deposited in various places, in the form if urate salts—in the feet, ankles, wrists and back—often forming bags under the eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble is called rheuraatUm, lumbago, sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone In the bladder, diabetes and Brigbt's disease. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., in recent yeara, discovered that^a certain combination of remedies would dissolve uric acid (urate salts) in the system. He found this combination to be harmless, so that he made it up in tablets, of double strength, and called them Anuric Tabjets. They dissolve uric acid in the human system as hot coffee dianolveB sugar. If you have nric acid troubles, don't delay ia taking Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce, too, and he will tell you what to eat and hov. to live BO that more uric acid will not form In your system. Dr. Pierce will not charge for this advice. ABOUT JJM VEILS Face Coverings Abandoned by the Women of Paris. WRAP OF BROCADED SATIN Curious Arrangement, Imitation of the " F l u " Mask, Is Being Worn by American Women. Tony Seeks Escape. Officer (ut medical inspection)—"Say a-a-n-ah !" Tony—"No speak-u <U English!"—Corp. T. W. Oulieu in J u d g e . Memtv to every woman, but good health U vitally important Attention to liver, kidneys and bowel* will improve beauty and health* Beechams Puis axe a boon to women, because they regulate the functions of all -these T h e story comes from Purls t h a t women have abandoned t h e veil. They are tired of It. They have taken to cartwheel h a t s and dp not wish to destroy the outline of t h e brim by t h e folds of a face covering. T h e r e a r e women over here, however, w r i t e s a fashion correspondent, recently returned from Paris, who a r e wearing the most curious veil America has seen. It is attached to a turban ; it Is a s thick as the heaviest conr^f net can be woven, and It is drawn tight around the eyes a n d the top of the nose, leaving the neck and lower p a r t of the face bare. It Is the best Imitation of a masque t h a t we have had so far, and It is Intimated that It was t a k e n from the influenza mask which was worn over the lower part of the face. One of our own designers of eccentricities h a s produced a genuine influenza mask of dyed lace which Is d r a w n u p w a r d over the chin and nose to the back of the head. T h e French one is more seductive and coquettish. A In America we a r e addicted to veils. We w e a r them at all seasons, whether or not we know how to adjust them. The reason for their diminished fashion during the last year Is due to the vv.ar activities of the great mass of women. First, a veil t a k e s a long time to a d j u s t ; It should be done well, or not at a l l ; and, secondly, It is not a good addition to uniform caps. So the veil dropped out, except among a certain segment of fashionables who would feel ashamed of their nakedness, as they say, if they went without it. T h e hurry and flurry of life has not allowed much time for leisurely dressing, and although the veil was insisted upon by the shops during the .faliuen^U epidemic, the doctors thought mask must be washed every three hours in a disinfectant. The extreme danger In the veil rested in the fact that it was not washed for days at a,-time, If ever. F o r those who wear t h e veil, the milliners and jewelers h a v e united in Introducing a trifle which has gained much prestige. It is an arrow, an aviator's wings, a dagger or the fleurde- lis clone In jewels. This catches the veil at the extreme upper tilt of the h a t In frout. It has been the jewel of the war. Women have turned their brooches Into these veil p i n s ; they have had other Jewelry reset to possess the luxury of the moment, and they have bought them in real or imlta-tion stones, in order to be ID the procession "of fashionables. 339TH REGIMENT RETREATS IN RUSSIA B O L 8 H E V I K I FORCES OUT NUMBERED AMERICAN AND BRIT.

"We are not here alone," he said, "as representatives of governments but as representatives of peoples, snd in the settlements we make we need to satisfy, not the opinions of governments, but the opinions of mankind." President Wilson contended that a league of nations must be a vital thing and not casual or occasional. It must have continuity. "It should be the eye of nations, an eye which never slumbers," he declared. On his travels, the president said, people everywhere had greeted the ' J^ajrup Q/,>£atuin* a a j h . JJpat UUnjr.tu, permanent processes. We may not be able to set up a permanent decision. "Therefore, it seems to me that we must take as far as we c a i / a picture of the world into our minds. Is it not a startling circumstance, for one thing, that the great discoveries of science, that the quiet studies of men in laboratories, that the thoughtful developments which have taken place in quiet lecture rooms have now been turned to the destruction of civilization. The powers of destruction have not so much multiplied, as they have gained facilities. The enemy whom we have just overcome has at his seats of learning some of the principal centers of scientific study and discovery, and he used them in order to make destruction sudden and complete. And only the watchful and continuous co-operation of men can see to it that science, as well as armed men, is kept within the harness of civilization. "In coming into this war, the United States never for a moment thought that she was intervening in the politics of Europe, the politics of Asia or the politics of any part of the world. • Her thought was that all the world had now become conscious that there was a single cause of justice and of liberty for men of every kind and place. "Therefore, the United States should feel that its part in this war had been plaved in vain if there ensued upon it only European settlements. "Therefore, it seems to me that we must concern our best judgment in order to make this league of nations a vital thing—a thing some time called into life to meet an exigency, but always functioning in watchful attendance upon the interest of the nations and that its continuity should be a vital continuity, that its functions are continuing function!, and such as do not permit an intermission of its watchfulness and of its labor; that it should be the eye of the nations to keep watch upon the common interest an eye that does not slumber, an eye that is everywhere watchful and attentive.

We are assembled under very peculiar conditions of world opinion. I may say, without straining the point, that we are not the representative of governments, but representatives of the peoples, "The burden of this war have fallen in an unusual degree upon the whole population of the countries involved. I do not need to draw for you the picture of how the burden has been thrown back' from the front upon the older men, upon the women, upon the children, upon the homes pf the civilized world, and how the real strain pf the war has come where the eye of the government could not reach, but where the heart of humanity beats.

He meets Sally Dunkelberg, about his own age, but socially of a class above the Bayneses, and "Is fascinated by her pretty face and fine clothes. Barton also meets Roving Kate, known In the neighborhood as the "Silent Woman." Amos Grlmshaw, a young son of the richest man In the township, is a visitor at the Baynes home and Roving Kate tells the boys' fortunes, predicting a bright future for Barton and death on the gallows for Amos. Reproved for an act of boyish oaLschief, Barton runs away, Intending to make his home with the Dunkelbergs. He reaches Canton and falls nsleep on a porch. There he is found by Silas Wright, Jr., a man prominent In public affairs, who. knowing Peabody Baynes, takes Barton home after buying him new clothes. Silas Wright evinces much Interest in Barton and sends a box of books and magazines to the Baynes home. A short time later the election of Mr. Wright to the United States senate is announced. CHAPTER V. The Great Stranger Some strangers came along the /oad those days—hunters, peddlers and the like—and their coming filled me with a joy which mostly went away with them, I regret to say. None of these, however, appealed to my imagination as did old Kate. But there was oue stranger greater than she—greater Indeed, than any other who came into Rattleroad. He came rarely and would not be long detained. How curiously we looked at him, knowing his fame and power 1 This great stranger was Money. I shall never forget the day that my uncle showed me a dollar bill and a little shiny, gold coin and three ty bushels of wheat for a cook stove and brought It home In the big wagon. Rodney Barnes came with him to help set up the stove. He was a big giant of a man with the longest nose in the township. I have often wondered how any one would solve the problem of kissing Mr. Barnes in. the immediate region of his nose, the same being In the nature of a defense. That evening I was chiefly Interested In the stove. What a joy it was to me with its damper and griddles and high oven and the shiny edge on Its hearth t It rivaled, in its novelty and charm, any tin peddler's cart that ever came to our door. John Axtell and bis wife, who had seen It pass their house, hurried over for a look at it. Every hand was on the stove as we tenderly carried it into "It's the brain colic," I myself as I looked at him. Mr. Barnes seemed to huve it also. 'Too much note," I whispered. "I'm awful sorry, but I've done everything I could," said Mr. Barnes. "Ain't there somebody thut'll take another mortgage?—It ought to be safe now," my uncle suggested. "Money is so tight It can't be done. The bank has got all the money an* Grimshaw owns the bank. I've tried and tried, but I'll make you sale. I'll give you a mortgage until I can turn 'round." "How much do you owe on this place?" Barnes asked. "Seven hundred an' fifty dollars," said my uncle. '•Is it due?" "It's been due a year an' if I have to pay that note -I'll be short my Interest." "God o' Israeli I'm scalrt," said Uncle Peabody. Down crashed the stick of wood into the box. "What about?" "It would be like him to put the screws on you now. You've got between him an' his prey. You've taken the mouse away from the c a t " 1 remember the little panic that fell on us then. I could see tears in the eyes of Aunt Deel as she sat with her head leaning wearily on her hand. "If he does I'll do all I can," said Barnes, 'whatever I've got will be yours." Rodney Barnes left us, and I remember how Uncle Peabody stood in the middle of the floor and whistled the merriest tune he knew. "Stand right up here," he called In his most cheerful tone. "Stand right "Why, Mr. Grimshaw, it's years since you've been in our house— a y e s ! " said Aunt Deel. **I suppose it is," he answered rather sharply. "I don't have much time to get around. I have to work. There's some people seem to be ablo to git along without It, I see you've got one o' these newfangled stoves," he added as he looked it over. "Huhl Rich folks can have anything they want," Uncle Peabody had sat splintering the long stick of yellow blrqh. I observed that the jackknlfe trembled tn his hand. His tone had a touch of unnaturalness, proceeding no doubi I from his fear of the man before him, as he said: "When I bought that stove I felt richer than I do uow. I had almost enough to settle with you up to date, but I signed a note for u friend and had to pay it" "Ayuh! I suppose so," Grimshaw answered In a tone of bitter Irony which cut me like a knife-blade, young as I was. "What business have you signln' notes an' glvln' away money which ain't yours to give—I'd like to know? What business have you actin* like a rich man when you can't pay yer honest debts? I'd like to know that, too?" "If I've ever acted like a ricb man It's been when I wa'n't lookln'," said Uncle Peabody. "What business have you to go en> largln' yer family—takln' another mouth to feed and another body to spin for? That costs money. I want to tell you one thing, Baynes, you've got to pay up or git out o', here." He raised his cane and shook it In the air as he spoke. "Oh, I ain't no doubt o' that," said Uncle Peabody. "You'll have to have yer money—that's sure; an' you will have it If I live, every cent of It This boy is goin' to be a great help to me—you don't know what a good boy he is and what a comfort he's been to us!" These words of my beloved uncle uncovered ray emotions so that I put my" elbow on the wood-box and leaned my head apon It and sobbed. "I ain't goin' to be hard on ye, Baynes," said Mr. Grlmnhaw aa he rose from his chair; "I'll give ye three months to see what you can do.

"Not much dlffer'ht from thirtyfour dollars In sheep and grain," he answered. Rodney Barnes stayed to supper and spent a part of the evening with us. Like other settlers there, Mr. Barnes was a cheerful optimist Everything looked good to him until It 'demanded. ''Now, aitogerner. one, two, three, ready—sing."

T h e y could no longer meet their engagements. As usual, the burden fell heaviest on the poor. It was hard to get money even for black salts. Uncle Peabody had been silent and depressed for a month or more. He hftd signed a note for Rodney Barnes, a cousin, long before and was afraid that he would have to pay It I didn't know what a note was and I remember that one night, when I lay thinking about it, I decided that it must be something In the nature of horse c o l i c My nncle told me that a note w a s a trouble which attacked the brain instead of the stomach. One autumn day in Canton Uncle P e a b o d j traded three sheep and twentho 5ur si»d the. pTiptrn Tiiifc \ri\ \ V n k i i . u i j . «. 'n him owing fourteen hundred dollars on his farm—much more than it was worth. Our cousin twisted the poker in his great hands until It squeaked as he stood before my uncle and said: "My wife and I have chopped and burnt and pried and hauled rocks an' shoveled dung an' milked an' churned until we are worn o u t For almost twenty years we've been workin' days an' nights an' Sundays. My mortgage was over-due, I owed six hundred dollars on it. I thought it all over one day an' went up to Orlmshaw's an' took him by the back of the neck and shook him. H e said he would drive me out o' tha country. He gave me six months to pay up. I had to pay or lose the land. I got the money on the note that yon signed over in Potsdam. Nobody in Canton would 'a' dared to lend it to me." "Why?" my uncle asked. '"Frnid o* Grimshaw. He didn* want me to be able to pay It The place is worth more than six hundred dollars now—that's the reason. I totended to cut some timber an' haul It to the village this winter so I could |j>ay a part o' the note an* git more time as I told ye, but the roads have been so bad t couldn't do any haulin'." My uncle went and took $ drink at the water pall. I saw by his face that he was unusually wrought up. "My heavens an' earth!" he exclaimed as he sat down ajcala. aunt exclaimed with a look of great distress—"ayesl if you hadn't been a fool." *Tm Just what I be, an' I ain't so ulg a fool that I need to be reminded of i t " aaid my u n d e . "I'll stay home an* work," I proposed bravely. "You ain't old enough for that" sighed Aunt Deel. "I want to keep you in school," said Uncle Peabody, who sat making a splint broom. While w e were talking In walked Benjamin Grimshaw—the rich man of the hills. He didn't stop to knock, but walked right In as if the house Were bis own. It was common gossip that he held a -mortgage on every acre of the countryside. I had never ing: **i YS'Ui .1 in.

Some fourteen months before that day my uncle had taken me to Potsdam, and traded grain and salts for what he called a "rip roarln' fine suit o' clothes" with boots and cap and shirt and collar and necktie to match, I having earned them by sawing and cording wood at three shillings a cord. How often we looked back to those better days! The clothes had been too big for me and I had bad to wnlt until my growth had taken up the "slack" in my coat and trousers before I could venture out of the neighborhood. I had tried them on every week or so for a long time. Now liked him, for he was a stern-eyed/ stature filled them handsomely man who was always scolding somebody, and I had not forgotten what his son had said of him. "Good night 1" he exclaimed curtly, as he sat down and set his cane between his feet and rested his hands upon it. He spoke hoarsely and 1 remember the curious notion came to me that he looked like our old ram. He wore a thin, gray beard under his chin. His mouth was shut tight In a long line curving downward a little at the ends. My uncle Used to say that his mouth was made to keep his thoughts from leaking and going to wastes He had a big body, a big chin, a big mouth, a big nose and big ears and hands. His eyes lay small In this setting of blgn | and they filled me with a pride and Kftisfairtion which I had never known before. "Now may the Lord help ye to be careful—awful, terrible careful o* thtm clothes every minute o' this day," Aunt Deel cautioned as she looked at me. "Don't git no horse sweat nor wagon grease on *em." Barton gets new Inspiration from the words of the great Silas Wright, who plana for the education of the hoy when he is eld enough to leave home for school. Mrs. Hen-man Ruschke, 177 Fourth St.. Long Island City, N. Y., §ayi: "The pains in my back were almost unbearable. 1 always felt tired and liBtlesa and found it almost impossible to attend to my housework. Gradually the painB increased—day by day my iniferine became worse. Often Sashes of light and black Specks would appear before my eyes and | dizzy spells would come over me. My hands and feet were swollen and my head pained me so at times I thought it would split. My kidneys annoyed me, too. I be- »— ftggd^t came despondent. Sometimes I would have to take to my bed for three or four days at & time. I had the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney Pilla, so I began ro> ing them and was soon back in perfect health again. My cure has stood the test of time, so I am only too glad to recommend Doan's to other kidaey sufferem." Mrs. Ruschke gave the above statement in April, 1016, and on April 4. 1917, she added: "I gladly repeat all I have said about D<XM'$ Kidney Pills, for they have cured me of kidney complaint."

UHDS HRST MEET1NB OF PEACE CONFERENCE • • ; = " - : • - = * Cost Only a Trifle Compared to Poefiblo Benefit to Be Derived—"Ye Happy Fields, Unknown to Noise and Strife, The Kind Re warders of Industria! Life"—John Gay. There,are thousands today looking for farms to buy,- and with the hundreds of thousands of acres offered for sale, there is no lack of. opportunitfes. But there are all claase/of lands, good, bad, and indifferent, much of each. The government of the Dominion of Canada has no land for sale, but within the boundaries of the Dominion there are unlimited acres of choice land owned by railway and land companies and private individuals. It holds no brief for any, nor are any of them clients. But it Is to the interest of the Dominion to have the hundreds of thousands of acres placed under cultivation, for every acre thus cultivated adds to the revenue which helps pay the government of the country. It is with the purpose of setting forth the agricultural advantages that Canada, especially Western Canada, possesses, that attention is drawn to the fact. The purposo is to place before the reader truthful statements, and advise the prospective settler as to the- necessity to investigate and inspect, leaving to his own deduction the matter of his selection. Once he decides, the government will render him <T any further information necessary as to location, prices and value of land, and assist him in every way possible to become settled. The cost of a trip to Western Canada, to any portion of the three provinces— Manitoba, Saskatchewan end Alberta—specially indicated in this" work, isjbut a trifle compared with the benefits that a personal inspection may give. Therefore the advice is to do so. Low rates on railways will be arranged and every opportunity afforded for giving the country a thorough and ^ careful examination. It may be that PROCEEDINGS WERE CONFINED TO T H E ELECTION OF A PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. LEAGUE OF NATIONS FIRST CALL President Poincare, President Wilson and Lloyd George Made Chief Addresses At Opening Session. MADE PERMANENT \ PEACE CHAIRMAN Paris—The peace congress, destined to be historic and on which the eyes Of the world are now centered, was opened in the gTeat Salle de la Paix. The proceedings, which were confined to the election of Georges Clemenceau, the French premier, as permanent chairman, of the congress, an address of welcome by the president of the French republic, Raymond Poincare, and speeches by President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Baron Sonnino, were characterized by expressions of lasting friendship^ and the apparent determination of the representatives of the various nations to come to an amicable understanding with respect to the problems to be decided by the conference. Premier Clemenceau announced that the league of nations would be the first subject taken up at the next full meeting of the conference, which is subject to the call of the supreme council. WThen President Poincare spoke the entire assembly stood and the fact that, according to custom, no applause greeted his utterances gave solemnity to the scene. M. Clemenceau's acceptance of the presidency of the congress was both a feeling expression of personal gratitude and a definite outline of the great questions immediately ahead. Three of these larger general subjects he defined as responsibility for the war, responsibility -for crimes dur- GEORGES CLEMENCEAU. who have been associated with him have acquired a genuine affection for him. "Foreover, those of us who have been, in these recent days, in constant consultation With him know how warmly his purpose is set towards the goal of achievement to which all our faces are turned. He feels as we feel, as I have no doubt everybody in this room feels, that we are trusted to do a great thing, to do it in the highest spirit of friendship and accommodation and to do it as promptly as possible in order that the hearts of men may have fear lifted from them and that they may return to those purposes of life which will bring them happiness and contentment and prosperity. "Knowing his brotherhood of heart in these great matters, it affords me a personal pleasure to propose that Mr. Clemenceau shall be the permanent chairman of this conference." r L loyd' Geo rge *s A ddress Paris.—Following Is the address of the British prime minister at the op- Clemenceau's Repljt Paris.—Premier Clemenceau, rep!y« In* to President Wilson, Lloyd Georg* and Sonnino, respwided as follows; "You would not expect me to keep sllenoe after what the eminent statesmen, who have just spoken, have said. I cannot h&te expressing my great, my profound gratitude to the illustrious president of the United States, to the prime minister of Great Britain and to Baron Sonnino for the words I have just heard from their Una. "Long ago, when 1 was young, as Mr. Lloyd George has recalled to you, when I was traveling In America and in England I always heard the-French reproached for an excess of courtesy, which sometimes went beyond the truth. As I listened to the American statesman and to the English statesman, I wondered whether they had not caught in Paris our national- disease of courtesy. Nevertheless, gentlemen, 1 must say that my election Is necessarily due to the old international traliitton of courtesy to the country which has the honor no receive the peace conference in its capital. •*I wish also to say that this test*- moqy of friendship, if they will allow to me the word, on the part of President Wilson and. Mr, Lloyd George, in particular, has touched me deeply, because I see in it a new strength for all three of us to accomplish, with the co-operation of the entire conference, the arduous work which is entrusted to us. I gather from it a new confidence in the success of our efforts. "President Wilson has special au thority to say that this is the first lime in fact that the world has ever seen assembled together a delegation of all the civilized nations of the earth. "The greater the bloody catastrophe which has devastated and ruined one of the richest parts of France, the greater and more splendid must be the reparation—not only the material reparation, the vulgar reparation, if T dare sneak so, which is due all of us, but the higher and nobler reparation of the new institution which: we will try to establish, in.order that nations may at length escape from the fatal embrace of ruinous wars, which destroy everything, heap up ruins, terrorize the populace and prevent them ^Jt^^a-tt. ...-¾¾^.^¾^ **r_^_plt^ a j ^ o " £_ t V *elj" W£\1* V ,^.,1 : ,: Ml LOOK -~rsrr.

War ! • Given Credit for Hastening Adoption of Prohibition—Cam. paign Carried on for Year*. The country has hardly awakened jet to the realization of the fact that it baa voted Itself dry. The ratification of the Sheppard amendment to the federal Constitution, prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors, came so suddenly, after more than half a century of battle, when the.cause of the Prohibitionists many times seemed almost hopeless, that even the leaders of the dry movement have difficulty In realizing that, so far as can be foreseen now, their fight has been won. There has been nothing in the history of the prohibition movement to indicate that victory for the cause would come with such swiftness, once congress had been Induced to submit the proposed amendment to a vote of the states. Because of the difficulty with which changes in the federal Constitution are secured It was not anticipated that ratification could be secured by the neeessary thirty-six states withU less than two or three ratification of this article the manufacture, sale or transportation of Intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United State* and all territory subject to the Jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes la hereby prohibited.

Women Have Boon Prominent In Movement Through W. C. T. U«— Frances Willard Won World- Wide Fame. Nation-wide prohibition has been a political issue in the United States for the last fifty years because of the activities of the Prohibition party. Other organizations, Including the Antl- Saloon league, the Women's Christian Temperance union and others, which passed out of existence after careers extending over various periods of time, have fought for state and national prohibition, but the Prohibition party has continued in existence for a longer period of time than any other antiliquor organization, and It has continued In the face of discouraging defeats. The Prohibition party will celebrate its fiftieth birthday next September. It was formally organized at a convention held in Farwell hall, Chicago, in September, 1869, when 19 states were represented by 500 delegates. For several years the formation of such a party had been discussed because the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties had virtually ignored the advocates of prohibition. The Good. Templars, Organized In 1851 as a society of total abstainers, urged such action, and other leaders believed It necessary. At a state temperance convention held in Pennsylvania in 1867 the pjan was first publicly broached, and two years later on May 29, 1869, the call for the Chicago convention was put out by the grand lodge of the Good Templars in session at Oswego, N. Y. A committee to formulate the plans was named, conprlslng John Russell, Detroit; J. A. Spencer, Cleveland, O.; James Black, Lancaster, Pa.; John N. Stearns, New York, and Daniel Wllklns, Bloomington, 111. The-eon~ vention called by this committee or- £*£>! ?M , ths:;jmrte OIL,JSanfcemb&r. JL... ley of Neurasuy u*m.. ou;<...0....

Women Prominent In the Fight. For many years the women have been prominent in the prohibition movement, for the evils of Intemperance bore heavily on their sex. To them must be given a very large share In the credit for the success of the fight. They started it publicly on a large scale in 1S73 in Ohio with a crusade to pray the saloons out of existence. This movement, Inaugurated by a little band of women who held prayer meetings in saloons when permitted and on the pavements outside when not allowed to enter, spread like wildfire throughout the nation and was denominated by the press a "whirlwind from the Lord." Many saloons were swept out of existence, but it soon became evident that prayer must be accompanied by action if they would prevent the return or the re-openlng of the-aaloons once closed.

Action on the seventeen other amendments that have been adopted has required from nine to forty-three months. The war is given the credit for hastening the adoption of prohibition in this country. The economic aspect of the question was emphasized by the war emergency, and the handwriting on the wall was seen when congress passed a law providing for nationwide prohibition as a war measure, to become effective July 1, 1919, and to continue until the armies of the United States have been demobilized. If This law goes Into effect, as contemplated, the country will g o dry July V althdugh the constitutional amendment will not become effective until one year after Its ratification by the required mnnber of state legislatures. Text of Amendments The text of the resolution embodying the amendment which has- now been adopted Is as follows: JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THH UNITED 8TATES. Resolved by the senate sad boose of representative* of the United 8tatss of America to congress assembled, two-thirds of each house concurring therein, that the following amendment to tho Constitution be, and hereby is, proposed to the states l o become valid as t part of the Constitution when ratified by the leglsUtnros nf the several state* i s provided by the <ronstitQtlon: s*Ttron I—After o i e year from the proposing constitutional amendments for the same purpose have been before congress almost continually for more than 40 years. Senator H. W. Blair of New Hampshire proposed the first amendment in 1876. This provided only for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirituous distilled liquors for i verage purposes. He introduced a similar measure nine times, changing It in 1886 to Include all alcoholic liquors. Congressman Hobsontaf Alabama introduced the famous "Hobson resolution" in the house December 19, 1913. The resolution came to a vote December 22, 1914, but received only 197 votes, while 268 were necessary for its adoption. There Is a probability that aatiprohlbltlon forces will attempt to secure an annulment of the ratification vole In several states and will attack the legality of the action of congress. In San Francisco a court order has been secured restraining Governor Stephens temporarily from. signing the ratification of the amendment. It has been stated that similar action may he taken In other states, including Arkansas, Colorado; Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Missouri and Nebraska. In these states, it is declared, all action taken by the state legislatures may be submitted to the people under a referendum. Attorneys for the liquor Interests claim that there are many points on .which the amendment may be attacked In the courts and plans have been made. It fa declared, for action along these Itnes. L ond place on the ticket. They polled only 10.366 votes. St. John's Hot Campaign. When the plans were being laid for the campaign of 1884, Frances E. Wlllard and her fellow workers of the W. C. T. U. entered the field. They sent to the Republican convention a great petition asking that consideration be given the pleas of the temperance advocates, but it was Ignored and even thrown into the dirt on the floor, and Miss Willard promptly turned to the Prohibition party. Her help was welcomed and John P. S t John of Kansas was put at the head of the cold water ticket. Already he was a notable figure, for he had fought in the Civil war as lieutenant colonel of the 148d regiment of Illinois volunteers and later served two terms as governor of Kansas. He was a Republican, but his party thought him too warm a friend of the prohibitionists and he was defeated for re-election in 1882. Accepting the Prohibition nomination, he went into the campaign with all his vigor and delivered stirring speeches all over the country, especially paying attention to New York state, where the fight between James G. Blaine and Orover Cleveland had made things very warm. S t John was out to beat the Republicans, and be succeeded, for the Prohibition vote was large enough to let Cleveland win New York state and, in consequence, the nation. The Prohibitionists polled the surprisingly large vote of 150,026. The -Prohibition convention of 1896 split the party over woman suffrage and money. The "free silver" minor* ity formed s Liberal party, with Beat* / * izeu, ana carried on to some degree In every state and territory, and in fro«n ten to twenty thousand local unions, Among these were: Temperance work in Sunday schools, which, with scientific temperance instruction In public schools, brought practically all the children In the nation In touch with temperance truth; medical temperance ; mothers' meetings; flower mission and relief; equal suffrage; moral education and race betterment; oratorical and declamatory medal contests; Christian citizenship, and child welfare. For World Prehlbitlon. The Wosld's Woman's Christian Temperance union was founded in 1883 by Miss Wlllard. It is organized in 40 nations, with a total membership of over half a million. In 1884 Miss Willard sent out from her home office in Evanston, IUM addressed to each government of the world, an appeal for total abstinence, purity of life, and against the manufacture and sale of opium, with this call for world prohibition: uWe come to you with the united voices of representative women of every land, beseeching you to raise the standard of the law to that of Christian morals, to strip away the safeguards and sanctions of the state from the drink traffic, and to protect our homes by the total prohibition of this curse of civilisation throughout all the territory over which your government extends.** This "polyglot** petition, as It has been termed, is historically significant for It was the first world-wide proclamation against the legalised liquor traffic. uioou. dom ai ail civilij&eu couiiti'ie** Give it a trial.—Adv.

These charity cases will still urgently need private benevolence. "This ia the situation with regard to the Armenians, Syrians and Persians," continues Hoover's cablegram. "Ther* is probably no greater suffering today than among the persecuted peoples of Asia Minor who have no other funds and cannot secure government loans and have no other credit. Tho further text of the Hoover cable reads: , "It in to aid this distressing situation that your Committee for Relief in the Near East is making its appeal to the generosity of the American people. "With your financing accomplished, your committee representing these stricken people can come under the di* rection of the new Inter-Allied World Relief organisation and will receiv* its co-operation in the purchasing a n d shipment of supplies. "Arrangements are now being mad»i to assign one complete flour cargo now en route for Southern Europe t o the order of your committee and further supplies will shortly be allocated to you by the Inter-Allied Committee as soon as we are assured that t h e necessary finances have been provided. (Signed) HOOVER." The worll recognition thus given the American Committee for Relief in the Near East follows naturally upon the proclamations of President Wilson and the pronouncements of t h e Secretary of State and other high officials, recognizing its work officially and calling upon t h e people df t h e United States to give generously t o i t * fund during its (80,000,000 drive* which begins January 13. i w yi & " • • • > ^ « » Tyfi&'f'*''** i l l » " • • 2 * ' I k K: :> " •\J. - t ; j * 1 • *** 1 r>/. * » . • ? •• i .> • * - * £ - I ni JTT :>*.

Synopsis.—Barton Bay&«s, an orphan, goes to live with his uncle, Peabody Bayaes, and hla Aunt Deel on. a farm on Rattleroad. in n neighborhood called Lickityspllt, about the year 1826, He meets Sally Dunkelberg, about his own age, but socially of a class above the Bayneses, and Is fascinated by her pretty fate and fine clothes. Barton also meets Roving Kate, known in the neighborhood as the "Silent Woman " Amos Griuishaw, a young sou of the richest man In the township, Is a visitor at the Baynes home and Roving Kate tells the boys' fortunes, predicting a bright future for Barton and death on the gallows for Amos. Reproved for an act of boyish michief, Barton runs away, Intending to make his home with the Dunkelbergs. He reached Canton and falls asleep on a porch. There is he found by Silas Wright, Jr., a man prominent in public affairs, who, knowing Pea body Baynes, takes Barton home after buying him new clothes. CHAPTER II—Continued. Soon a horse and buggy came for A* and I briefly answered Sally's goodbye before the man drove away with me. I remember telling him as we went on over the rough road, between fields of ripened grain, of my watermelon and my dog and my little pet hen. I shall not try to describe that home coming. We found Aunt Deel in the road five miles from home. She had been calling and traveling from house to house most of the night, and T is always on hand," said Uncle Peabody, I was soon out of bed and he came uo rnort ro sit up with me. When I ,was well again, Aunt Deel said one day: "Peabody Baynes, I ain't \*ord no preachln* since Mr. Pangborn died. I guess we better go down to Canton to meetln' some Sunday. It there ain't no minister bile Wright always reads a sermoil, if he's home, and the paper says he don't go 'way for a month yit. I kind o' feel the need of a good sermon hind her mother. Still worse was tt ] when a couple of boys ran away crying, "I^ook at the breeches 1" •tl looked down at my breeches and wondered what was wrong with them. They seemed very splendid to 'me and ] yet I saw at once that they were not popular. I went close to my Aunt Deel and partly hid myself In her cloak. I heard Mrs. Dunfceiberg say: "Of course you'U come to dinner with us?" For a second my hopes leaped high. I was hungry and visions of jelly cftke and preserves rose before me. Of \ course there were the trousers, but perhaps Sally would get used to the trousers and ask me to play with her. 'Thank ye, but we've got a good ways to go and we fetched a bite with us—ayes!" said Aunt Deel. Eagerly I awaited an Invitation from the great Mrs. Dunkelberg that should be decisively urgent, but she only said : "I'm very sorry you can't stay." My hopes fell like bricks and vanished like bubbles. The Dunkelbergs left us with pleasant words. They had asked me to shake hands with Sally, but I had clung to my aunt's cloak and firmly refused to make any advances. Slowly and without a word we walked across the park toward the tavern sheds. We had started away up the South road when, to my surprise, Aunt Deel mildly attacked the Dtinkelbergs. "These here village folks like to be waited on—ayes!—an' they're aw* ful anxious you should come to see 'em when ye can't—ayes!—but when ye git to the village they ain't nigh so anxious—no they ain't!" In the middle of the great- cedar swamp near Little River Aunt Deel got out the lunch basket and I sat down on the buggy bottom between their legs and leaning against the dash. So disposed we ate our luncheon of fried cakes and bread and butter and maple sugar and_ cheese. What an efficient cure for good health were the doughnuts and cheese and sugar, especially if they were mixed with the idleness of a Sunday. I had a headache also and soon fell asleep. The sun was low when they awoke me in our dooryard. I soon discovered that the E)unkelus, holding me in ner lap. Uncle Peabody and one of our neighbors had been out in the woods all night with pine torches I recall how, although excited by my return, he took off his hat at the sight of my new friend and said : "Mr. Wright, 1 never wished that I lived in a palace until now." He didn't notice me until I held up both feet and called; "Look a* there, Uncle Peabody," Then he came and took me out of the buggy and I saw the tears In his eyes when he kissed me. The man told of finding me on his little veranda, and I told of my ride with Dug Draper, after which Uncle Peabody said : 4Tm goin' to put in your hoss and feed him, Comptroller." "And Tra goin' to cook the best dinner I ever cooked in my life," said Aunt Deel. .^•**Jt&2±i.^!n ^ ¾ ¾ ¾ ^ i.*ix\i a one vain us an' git back here by three." I had told Aunt Deel what Sally had said of my personal appearance. "Your coat Is good enough for anybody— ayes !" said she. 'Til make you a pair o' breeches an' then I guess j you won't have to be 'shamed no more." She had spent several evenings making them out of an old gray flannel petticoat of hers and had put two pockets In them of which I was very proud. They came just to the tops of my shoes, which pleased me, for thereby the glory of my new shoes suffered no encroachment. The next Sunday after they were finished we had preaching in the schoolhouse and I was eager to go and wear my wonderful trousers, Uncie Peabody said that he didn't know whether his leg would hold out or not "through n whole meetln'." His left leg was lame from a wrench and ••ion didn't think I meanfit, ""did j *fTO X ^ ^ l > e r praying in silence, yeT-that you would hnv* to 2o 'way j n s w e s a t d o w n ' t D a t U n c l e p « ^ ' the conversation of Aunt Deel.

One day the stage, on its way to Ballybeen, came to our house and left a box and a letter from Mr. Wright, addressed to my uncle, which read: "Dear Sir—I send herewith a box of books and magazines In the hope that you or Miss Baynes will read them aloud to my little partner and in doing so get some enjoyment and profit for yourselves. "Yours respectfully, "S. WRIGHT, JR. "P. 8.—When the contents of the box have duly risen into your minds will you kindly see that it does a like service to your neighbors in School District No. 7? S. W. JrV' "I guess Bart has made a friend o* thf« The. work of the day ended, the candles were grouped near the edee est to the east and t « t «ud north and south and in the skies above them, How mysterious and inviting they*hud become! One evening a neighbor had brought the Republican from the post-office. I opened it and read aloud these words In large type at the top of the page: "Silas Wright Elected to the U. S. Senate." "Well I want to know V Uncle Peabody exclaimed. "That would make me forgit it if I was goin' to be hung. Go on and read what it says." I read the choosing of our friend, fpr the seat made vacant by the resignation or* William L. Marcy, who had been elocted governor, and the part which most impressed us were these words from a letter of Mr. Wright to Azarlah Flagg of Albany, written when the former was asked to aceept the placet "I am too young und too poor for such an elevation. I have not had the experience in that great theater of politics to qualify me for a' place so exalted and responsible/ I prefer therefore the humbler position which I now occupy." "That's his way," said Uocle Peabody. "They had hard* work to convince bim that he knew enough to be Surrogate." "Big men have little conceit—ayes!" said Aunt Deel with a significant glance at me. The candles had burned low and I was watching the shroud of one of them when there came a rap at the door. It was unusual for any one to come to our door in the evening and we were a bit startled. Uncle Peabody opened it and old Kate entered without speaking and nodded to my aunt and uncle and sat down by the fire. Vividly I remembered the day af the fortune-telling. The same gentle emiie lighted her face as she looked at me. She held up her hand with four fingers spread above it. "Ayes," said Aunt Deel, "there are four perils." My aunt rose and went into the but'ry while I sat staring at the ragged old woman. Her hnir was white now and partly covered by a worn and faded bonnet. Forbidding as she was I did not miss the sweetness in her smile and her blue eyes and said in a voice full of pity: "Poor ol' Kate—ayesl Here's somethin' for ye—ayesl" She turned to my uncle aud said: "Peabody Baynes, what'll we do— I'd like to know—ay*sl She can't rove all night." "I'll git some blankets an' make a bed for her, good 'nough for anybody, out In the hired man's room over the shed," said my uncle. Ho brought the lantern—a little tower of perforated tin—and put a lighted candle inside of i t Then he beckoned to the stranger, who followed him out of the front door with the plate of food in her hands. "Well I declare! It's a long time since she went up this road—ayesl" said Aunt Deel, yawning as she resumed her chair. "Who Is ol' Kate?" I asked. "Oh, just a poor or crazy womanwanders all 'round—aye*f" deceived her when-she was young— ayes! It's an awful wicked thing to A small bottle of "Damlerino" makes hair thick, glossy and wavy.

This is bis first peril an' he has met his first great man an' I can see that Sile Wright is kind o' fond o' him." J I went to sleep that night thinking " of the strange, old, ragged, silent $ woman.

My heart beat fast when I reflected that I should soon see Mr. Wright and the Dunkelbe/ gs. I had lost a little of my interest In Sally. Still I felt sure that when she saw my new breeches she would conclude that I was a person not to be trifled with. When we got to Canton people were flocking to the big stone Presbyterian church. It was what they called a "deacon's meeting." I remember that Mr. Wright read from the Scriptnrea, and having explained that there was no minister in the village, read one of Mr. Edwards' sermons, in the course of which I went to sleep on | the arm of my aunt. She awoke mt when the service had ended, and whispered; "Oome, we're goin' down to speak to Mr. Wright" I remember Mr. Wright kissed me and said: "Hello I Here's my boy in a new pair o' trousers 1" "Put yer hand in there," I said proudly, as I took my own hand oat of one of my pockets, and pointed } the way. He did not accept the invitation, but laughed heartily and gave me a little hug. When we went out of the church there stood Mr. and Mrs. Horace Dtnv kelberg, and Sally* and some other children. It was a tragic moment for me when Sally laughed and ran be- *^ fri-V ' uealde him, while Aunt Deel adjusted" her spectacles and began to read. I remember vividly the evening we took out the books and tenderly felt their covers and read their titles. There were "Crulkshanks' Comic Almanac" and "Hood's Comic Annual"; tales by Washington Irving and James K. Paulding and Nathaniel Hawthorne and Miss Mitford and Miss Austin; the poems of John Milton and Felicia Hetnans. Of the treasures In the box I have now In my possession: A life of Washington, "The Life and Writings of Doctor Duckworth," "The Stolen Child," by "John Gait, Esq."; "Rosine Laval," by "Mr. Smith"; Sermons and Essays by William Ellery Channing. We found in the box also, thirty numbers of the "United States Magazine and Democratic Review" and sundry copies of the "New York Mirror." Aunt Deel began with 'The Stolen Child." -She read slowly tnd often paused for comment or explanation or laughter or to touch the corner of an eye with a corner of her handkerchief In moments when we were all deeply moved by the misfortunes of our favorite characters, which were scute and numerous. In those magazines we read of the great West—"the poor man's paradise*'—" the stoueless land of plenty"; of its delightful climate, of the ease with which the farmer prospered on its rich soli. Uncle Peabody spoke playfully of going West, after that but Aunt Deel mad* no answer and concealed her opinion on "that subject for a long time. As for myself, the reading had deepened my interi rpTi'K Jifci'V/' 4;<4-A--* "Why?" "I—rm afraid she'll do somethin' to him." "Nonsense I 01' Kate Is Just as harmless as a kitten. You take your candle and go right up to bed—this minute— ayes!" I went up-stalrs with the candlf -1 and undressed very slowly and thoughtfully while I listened for the footsteps of my uncle. I did not get Into bed until I heard him come in and blow out his lantern and start up the stairway. As he undressed he told me how for many years the strange woman had been roving in the roads "up hill and down dale, thousands un' thousands o' miles," and never reaching Vie end of her Journey. In a moment we heard a low wail above the sounds of the breeze thai shook the leaves of the old "popple" tree above our roof. "What's that?" I whispered. "I guess it's ol' Kate ravin'," saitl Dncle Peabody. It touched my heart and I lay listening for a time, bat heard only the loud whisper of the popple leaves.

The n e w roses a r e of wool, and their Juxtaposition to serge, velours and velveteen Is beyond criticism- Colored ty&t$ may be uiude from odds and ends of crewel. They cost little in the beginning, but the dressmakers had no conscience in asking a good price for them in the end. Sometimes they are used in fantastic wuys. A hedge of woolen hollyhocks In green and red growing around the border of a blue serge frock gives the observer & start, but a group of red, blue and yellow roses a t the back of a bellshaped coat sleeve, or above tl»e waistline on a black velveteen waistcoat, is very attractive. We are tired of those woolen roses on our hats, so few milliners would be so conscienceless a s to advise that type of ornament to an unwary woman ; but on frocks they have the same prestige that they have today on sofa cushions. And you know, that is quite a good deal, If you have seen any of the bits of Interior decoration which are offered to the public as the last thing In art.

She had placed a lighted candle in the wimlow because the instructions said to do just that thing. A lighted candle on Christmas eve would notify the carolers that music was desired and they would stop to sing. It was all quite simple.

TRETTURE OF CAFE*AU LAIT ... . . ' . > . * - j The French designers have brought back into fashion huge necklaces from ' an ornamental past. They are not made of jewels, yet they are costly, and the supply of fine ones rapidly diminishes. Once upon a time our Indians bartered peltries for bright , beads. Such was the foundation of some of our great American fortunes. 1 Today, declares a fashion writer, I there are women who vehemently declare that they would barter their sec- , ond year fur pieces for a gay necklace. They sell old clothes in order w get one of these much desired possessions. J It is the hour of the necklace. All that has gone before Is as nothing to 1 what now exists. And, mind you, the necklace is not of precious stones. There are few well dressed women who wear any xjrecious stones about the neck except pearls. Diamonds hold a place with some, but they are not considered among well dressed women as an ornament of parts. Costly they are, it is true, and in unique settings of carved platinum they have their ( place, but the bare, bald, crude diamond necklace Is a bit blatant for the | fastidious woman. She prefers pearls, J ! and so it seems does every other wo- ! man who can buy a string, from six i dollars up. If the attention of the latter class is turned toward the barbaric necklaces, it may be that they will quickly fall into disuse ; but one thing is certain, which is that six dollars will go a short way toward purchasing one of the rare necklaces of the hour.

PROCEEDINGS DIVIDED IN TWO A* the Statesmen Gathered it Wat Seen That Powers Represented Were Alt Increased. — v — ~ Paris.—The supreme council of the peace conference resumed their Bedstone at the French foreign office, with a distinguished gathering augmented by the presence of Japan among the great powers represented and a notable gathering of military, naval, economic and financial representatives of the various powers. The' proceedings were divided into two distinct stages The first, the morning meeting, was presided over by Marshal Foch at whic'i the military, naval and economic representatives reached an agreement on new terms for the armistice expiring January 17. The United States was represented by Major-General Bliss, Admiral Benson and Herbert C. Hoover; Great Britain by General Sir Henry Wilson; France by Marshal Foch, General Weygand, his chief of staff; M. Klotz, minister of finance and M. Leygues, minister of marine; and Italy by General Robilant, The accord reached is said to have been complete, embracing financial terms, whereby Germany must restore the sums taken from the cities and towns of the devastated regions; military, whereby Germany must restore the guns taken and promptly deliver up rolling stock and locomotives, and economic, whereby food re. lief will reach the famished regions.

Because the meat from different animals varies greatly in quality and weight. Although the q u o t a t i o n s "Shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. As a result of these differences in cattle prices, (due to differences in weights and meat qualities), there is a range of 15 cents in Swift & Company's selling prices of beef carcasses. far I1* _AV nla in; ''<&:•. •kw —*-^-~->-'" " ' - • - ? * * " • •.tttHsaSaafc-.^ 1 Grow Wheat in Western Canada One Crop Often Pays for the Land BCKU U i U L 1.11 t i l I t t U i t B w « i « l i U i r t U l J i l l . creased by the two Japanese delegates, Viscount Chinda and Ambassador Mataui, while General Bliss, Mr. Hoover and Rear Admiral Grayson accompanied President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, and Bernard M.

He personified the Americanism of which he was the most doughty champion. He demanded the recognition and performance of our national obligation in the war.

"We'll draw him up on It—It won't hurt him any," he proposed. I looked at him in silence. My heart smote me, but I hadn't courage to take Issue with the owner of a silver watch. When the dog began to struggle I threw my arms about him and cried. Aunt Deel happened to be near. She came and saw Amos pulling at the rope and me trying to save the dog. "Come right down "off n that mow— this minute." said she. When we had come down ana* the dog had followed, pulling the rope after him, Aunt* Deel was pale with 4 1 v T t f 0 ^W r*+*li££**- . .M-T-.l v - , . ; . * . ^ : , . . . , was untenable. I came out. Shep began trying to clean my clothes with his tongue. Uncle Peabody stood near with the horses. He looked at me. He stuck his finger Into the honey on my coat and smelt I t . "Well,' by—" he stopped and came closer and asked. "What's happened?" "Bee stung me," I answered. "Where did ye find so much honey that ye could g© swimmln' In it?" he asked. I heard the door -of the house open suddenly and the voice of Aunt Deel. "Peabody; Peabody, come here quick," she called. log the dishes In fine kitchen. I got out of bed very slyly and pat on my Sunday clothes. I went to the .open window. The sun had Just gone over the top of the woods. I would have to hurry to get to the Dunkelbergs' before dark. I crept out on the top of the shed and descended the ladder that leaned against it. I stood a moment listening. The dooryard was covered with shadows and very still. The dog must have gone with Uncle Peabody. I ran through the garden to the road and down it as fast as my bare feet could carry me. In that direction the nearest house was ulraost a mile away. I remember I was out of breath, and the light was growing dim before I got to it. I went on. It seemed to me that I had gone nearly far enough to reach my destination when I heard a buggy coming behind me. "Hello!" a voice called. I turned and looked up at Dug Draper, in a slngLg buggy, dressed In his Sunday suit. "Is It much further to where the Dunkelbergs live?" I asked. "The Dunkelbergs? Who be they?" It seemed to me very strange that he didn't know the Dunkelbergs. "Where Sally Dunkelberg lives." That was a clincher. He kiughed and swore and said: "Git in here, boy. I'll take ye there." I got into the buggy, and he struck his horse with the whip and went galloping away in the dusk. By and by we passed Rovin' Kate. I could Juwt discern her ragged form by the roadside and called to her. He struck his horse and gave me a rude shake and bade me shut up. It was dark and I felt very cold and began to wish myself home in bed. "Ain't we most to the Dunkelbergs'?*' I asked. "No—not yet," he answered. I burst into tears and he shook me roughly and shovecKme down on the buggy floor and said: "You lay there and keep still; do .you hear?" v "Yes," I sobbed. I lay shaking with fear and fighting my sorrow and keeping as still as I could with It, until, wearied by the strain, I fell asleep. to Ills own porridge and bread and butter. When he had finished eating he set aside the dished and I asked : { "Now could I go and see Sally Pijn^ kelberg?" "What in the world do you want of Sally Dunkelberg?" he asked. "Oh, just to play with her," I said as I showed him how I could sit on my hunds and raise myself from the chair bottom. "Haven't you any one to play with at home?" "Only my Uncle Peabody." "Don't you like to play with him?" "Ob, SOHH\ but he can't stand me any longet. He's jill U»"ed out, and my Aunt Deelr too.

So I waQffx'tb phry with Sally Dunkelberg. I want to play with her a little whil£-~j»*st a wee little* while." "Forward, march!" said he and away we started for the home of the Dunkelbergs. The village interested me immensely. I had seen it only twice b4ifctffe. People were moving about in the streets. One thing I did n o t . f a i l , t o notice.

Suddenly I was afraid and began to hang back. Lliofeked down at my bare feet and m y cjpthee, both of which were dirty. Sally and her friends had stopped their play and Were standing in a group looking at us. I beard Sally whimper: "It's that Baynes boy. Don't he look dirty?" I stopped and withdrew my hand from that of my, guide. "Come on, Bart," he said. I shook my head and stood looking over at that little, hostile trfbe near me. "Go and play with them while I step Into the house," he urged. Again I shook my head.

We went to the mow and searched for the pennies, but not one of them could we find. I remembered that when I saw them last Amos had them In his hand.

"Look at that lip and the honey all ovef him—ayes! I tell ye—I can't stan' It." "Say, ooy, is there anything on this place that ye ain't tipped over?"

There ,1 slept peacefully until daylight, when I felt a hand on my face and awoke suddenly. I remember that I felt cold. A kindly faced man was leaning over me. "Hello, boy!" said he. "Where did you come from?" I was frightened and confused, but his gentle voice reassured me. "Uncle Peabody 1" I called, as I arose and looked about me and began to cry. The man lifted me In his arms and held me close to his breast and tried to comfort me. I remember seeing the Silent Woman pass while I was In his arms. ^ . • 4 ^ « ^ - - - ^ ^ : ^ ^-^-.

"Mebbe you lost the peonies, •on't mind 'em." Soon after that, one afternon, Aunt Deel came down In the field where we were dragging. While ghe was talking with Uncle Peabody an Idea occurred to me, and the dog and I ran for the house. There was a S pot of honey on the top shelf of the pantry and ever since I had seen it put there I had cherished secret desires. I ran into the deserted house, and with the aid of a chair climbed to the first shelf and then to the next, and reached into the pan and drew out .a comb of honey, and with no delay whatever It went to my mouth. Suddenly it seemed to me that I had been hit by lightning. It w a s the sting of a bee, I felt myself going and made a wild grab and caught the edge of the pan and down we came to the floor1—the pan a n d I— with a great crash. I discovered that I was in desperate pain and trouble and I got to my feet and ran. I didn't know where I was going. It seemed to me that any other place would be better than t h a t My feet took me toward the barn and I trawled under It and hid there. My lip began to feel better, by and by, but big and queer. It stack out so that I could see i t I heard my o s d e coming with the horses. I concluded that I would stay where I was, but t h e dog came and sniffed and barked a t t h e hole through which I had crawled aa if saying, "Hera be is I" My natation "Boy, I guess you'll have to—" had not stepped over it. However, 1 knew what he had started to say and sat down on the steps in great dejection. Shep followed, working at ray coat with his tongue. I think the sight of me must have touched the heart of Aunt Deel. "Peabody Baynes, we mustn't be cruel," said she in a softer tone, and then she brought a rag and began to assist Shep in the process of cleaning my coat. "Good land! He's got to stay here—ayes!—he aln*t got no other place to go to." "Bat if you can't stan' it," said Uncle Peabody. "I've got to stan' it—ayes!—I can't stan' it, but I've got to—ayes! So have you." Aunt Deel put me to bed although It was only five o'clock. As I lay looking up at the shingles a singular resolution oame to me. It was born of my longing for the companionship of my kind and of my resentment. I would go and live with the Dunkelbergs. I would go the way they had gone and find them. I knew it was ten miles away, but of course everybody knew where the Dunkelbergs lived and any one would show me. I would run and get there before dark and' tell them that I wanted to live with them and every day I would play with Sally Dunkelberg. Uncle Peabody was not half as nice to play with as she was. I heard Uncle Peabody drive away. I watched him through the jpee window. I could hear Aunt Deal waabuIs she the daughter oi Horaci Dunkelberg?" j ''H**N ""* Mrc> HnrnrA Dunkelberg,'! store I could hear my heart beating.

He carried me through the open door of his office and set me down at his desk. The cold air of the night had chilled me and I was shivering. "You sit there and I'll have a fire going in a minute and get you warmed up." He wrapped me in his coat and went Into the back room and built a fire In a small stove and brought me in) and set me down beside it.

The following story comes to us frum old Virginia: A devout colored preacher, whose h e a r t was agiow with missionary zeal, gave notice to his congregation that in the evening an*offertory would be taken for missions and asked for liberal gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man in the congregation siiid to him before the service: "Yer gwine to kill dis church ef yer goes on savin' 'give!' No church can stan' .it. Yer gwine ter kill it." After the sermon the colored minister said to the people: "Brother Jones told me I was gwine to kill this church if I kep' u-askin' yer to give; but, my brethren, churches don't (Prepared by the United Slates Department ot Agriculture.) The live-stock industry in the Southern s t a t e s is progressing at a rapid rate. Some of the things beefcattle extension specialists of the United S t a t e s department of agriculture a r e doing to encourage a combination of live-stock production wiih cotton growing a r e described in recent reports from t h e field. As a result of their activities thousands of pure-bred cattle a r e being shipped into every Southern s t a t e and carloads of fat stock a r e being sent to live-stock markets from farms where cotton formerly was grown exclusively. During a recent month the specialists- visited 154 farms in 113 counties in the s t a t e s of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, and traveled 32,587 miles to give specific instructions to farmers and to contor with other extension workers on beef production. They attended ten meetings, held twelve demonstrations, There a r e extensive areas In Florida that a r e not now being used which would graze a large number of cattle, the extension specialists say, though the farmeis are fast awakening to the possibilities of the live-stock industry. It is reported that the holdings of one company alone would carry 20,000 head If completely utilized. Reports from Georgia say t h a t pastures a r e good and feed is plentiful, particularly velvet beans, and that undoubtedly there will be a large number of cattle fed in. that state this year. T h e specialists are continually being called upon to locate feeder cuttle for farmers in both Georgia and Florida, and several large shipments have already been made from the Southwest and other sections. It Is estimated that 100 carloads will bo brought into Georgia alone froift Texas this fall. Feeding demonstrations are being arranged on 12 to 15 farms in different sections of Mississippi, and plnns have been made to conduct them LESSON TEXT-Exodua 3:1-12, * GOLDEN TEXT—And Moaea verily waa ruithful in all his hoube.

While t h e oppression of God's people was heading up, in the providence of God a deliverer was being prepared to t a k e up the task at the opportune hour. Moses was first trained a t his mother's knee, then in Pharaoh's court and finally under God's Immediate hand In the desert. The latter w a s an Indispensable part of his training. His learning in the wisdom of t h e Egyptians w a s helpful, but wtthout the Immediate tutorship of God he would have been a failure. All who are used of God must spend some time in the retirement of his presence.. T w o notable examples a r e Paul In Arabia and John on Patmos. • {. The Lord Speaks to Moses In the Burning Bush (vv. 1-6). It was while keeping the flock of his father-in-law in the desert that t h e Lord appeared to Moses. Had he remained in Pharaoh's palace he never could have had the vision of the burning bush. This bush enveloped in flames, yet unconsumed, symbolized the people of God enswathed in the very tire of God, or God dwelling in the midst of an elect people. Moses steps aside to behold this strange sight, but must be taught the essential lesson of the proper approach to God. We now can approach God with boldness througli Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:19). Our God Is a consuming fire. No evil can be permitted In his presence ( J o s h u a 7 ; . Acts 5). The Lord IKES IfiVtfL OUT A small bottle of "Danderine" keeps hair thick, strong, beautiful. t#.

Not a. cry ever goes up from a child of • God unheard by him. "I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians." This shows that God is actively interested in the cause . of his people. He graciously obligates J himself: (1) To deliver them out of | the hands of the Egyptians.

Proper housing will be an Important factor in such increased product'on, as it will reduce the amount of feed consumed a n d will prevent losses from exposure, especially with the early spring litterV. In some sections of the country the farmers build larger and more expensive houses than are necessary, bnt In a great many places too little attention la given to proper houses for swine.

T h e Difficulty of the People to Understand Moses' Relationship to God (3:13, 14). Moses knew how unwilling they were to acknowledge him a s their deliverer forty years before Since God changes his n a m e a s he assumes a new relationship to his people, Moses Inquired a s to w h a t t h a ' new relationship would be, and h i s corresponding name. T h e Lord promptly met this difficulty by showing him a name differing in many respects from all others previously given. This new name is "I Am." This name is from rhe Hebrew verb "to be." It indicates (1) God's self-existence; (2) his selfsufficiency ; (3) his unchangeableness. 3. Unbelief on t h e Part of the Peo- >le (4:1). This difficulty the Lord met iy supplying him with credentials vhich could not be gainsaid. He w a s riven the power to perform supernaural wonders (4:2). 4. Lack of Eloquence (4:10).

He had won for himself a scholar's reputation be fore he entered political life, and up to 1912, when he became Bavaria's minister-president, he had combined educational and literary work with his political activities. Von Hertling was appointed imperial German chancellor in October, 1917, succeeding Dr. Georg Michaelis.

The bolsheviki opened a terrific fire from three and six-inch guns and launched a counter-attack against, the buildings held by Americans in Kadish. So hot was the artillery fire that Jhe Americans were w i t h d r a w n temporarily from the village. T h e line, however, was not taken back very far, and the new positions were firmly held. The enemy did not occupy Kadish because the b a r r a g e fire from t h e Am- ^ : war with Germany at a union memorial service held New Years Day. Several women were overcome during t h e program. Establishment of social and International justice as the most fitting memorial that could be erected in memory of the country's dead was urged by A. P. Johnson, of Grand Rapids.

On May 27 the Germans renewed the offensive with a powerful attack between the Alsne and the Marne. In a day they swept over the Chemln-des- Dames on the heightB north of the Alsne and crossed the river In a rush. Next they took Soissons and reached the Vesle. On they went to the Marne, extending their front on the river from Chateau-Thierry to Veraeull, and threatening Reims in their advance. The drive was baited with the Germans- occupying a front 16 miles wide on the Marne. In the meantime the Americans, had won--attention on May 28 by taking Cantlgny on the Picardy front m a brilliant attack. On May 25, German U-boats began operations off the coast of the United States, sinking 11 ships, The German drive for Paris was resumed but the turning point was reached when on June 6 and 7 American marines were thrown across the path of the advancing army at Chateau- Thierry. The Americans not only stopped the Germans but drove them back two miles, capturing several hundred prisoners. Tn an effort to unite the Somme snli crumbling. Prince Max, who tadJ»ow becojne German chancellor, addressed a note to President Wilson, asking that steps be taken Immediately to conclude an armistice and to open peace ncgotiatibns. President Wilson answered by asking whether he spoke for the people or the then rulers of, the empire aDd whether the proposal was based gates and a large party of assistants, sailed for France December 4. President Wilson arrived at Brest December IB and proceeded to Parts, where he was given an enthusiastic reptlon.

It was an open secret that the German high command was planning to make a supreme effort on the western" front. In Russia Premier Lenine and For- ^L l t l _ elgn Minister Trotzky Intrenched \m^e considerable gains on a_20-mi e peace points. MeanwhUe the driveon the west front continued, and the Germans were driven from u ^ ' s m i i d that they bad held since 1S14. The Hlndenburgline was smashed at many oolnts Pershing's men broke the foe s main line of defense west of the Meuse and after days of bitter fighting cleared the Germans out of Argonne forest. The Germans were forced to abandon the Chemln des Dames and to retreat on a long line from ^aon as far east as Argonne. Germany sent another note to President Wilson on October 12, accepting the latter's 14 peace principles and urging the president to transmit its proposal for an armistice to the allies. The answer of the allied armies to the German peace proposals was to deliver sttU harder blows at the retiring enemy. In the north the Belgian, army, led by King Albert, co-operating with the British, began to sweep the Germans" from the Belgian coast. Chancellor Max, on October 21, sent anoth r peace note to President Wilson, denying the charges' that the Germans had been guilty of atrocities on land and sea, and again giving assur- Tn an effort to unite tne somme mm- aanncceess tthhaatt ttnhee nneeww Kgo«vVeCr.nUm.UeCnHtI r*e^p.r~e - ent with that of the Marne to provide s e n t ed the people of Germany.

In the held of national legislation woman's suffrage and nation-wide prohibition weire urged as war measures. The woman's suffrage amendment was defeated In the senate October 1, after having passed the house. A nation-wide prohibition measure, to become effective June 80, 1919, was enacted by congress and approved by the president November 22. On September. 6 President Wilson bad ordered the manufacture of malt liquor stopped ^pn December 1, as a foodconservation measure. Government control of the railroads was followed during this year by government control of all te]egfaph and telephone lines.

There was little activity on any front during the month, but on January 80 it was announced officially that American/ troops were holding front-line trenches in France-, occupying a sector northwest of Toul. The Americans holding this sector received their baptism of fire when they repulsed a vigorous German raid. The Americans lost two killed, four wounded and one missing. On February 5 the steamer Tuscania, carrying 2,179 American soldiers, was torpedoed and sunk, with a loss of 159 lives.

It was repulsed at all points and the. Italians pursued the fleeing Austrlans across the Piave, taking 45,- 000 prisoners. The German commanders made one last effort to break through to Paris when the crown prince's army group on July 15, the morning after the French national holiday, launched nn offensive along a front from Chateau- Thierry to Masslges, 30 miles east of Reims. This fifth and last phase of the great offensive foiled most signally, being stopped on the third day. The American forces played a big part in this second decisive'battle of the Marne.

Turkey surrendered unconditionally to the British and the Austrlans begged for an armistice, while their armies were In full flight. The allied war, council at Versailles began to • prepare the terms to be submitted to the Germans. The American First army smashed the German lines at Grand Pre and advanced seven miles west of the Meuse as the enemy line cracked.

He carried the Candle of the lord. It led him to a height of self-forgetfulpesa achieved by enty two othersC-Washtngton and Lincoln. Yet I have been surprised by the profound and general ignorance of this generation regarding the career of Silas Wright. The distinguished senator who served at his side for many years, Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, has €his to say of Silas Wright in his Thirty Years' View: "He refused cabinet appointments un- ' der his fast friend Van Buren and under Polk, whom he may be said to have elected. He refused a seat on the bench of the Supreme court of the United States; he rejected instantly the nomination in 1844 for vice president; he refused to be put in nomination for the presidency. He spent that time in declining office which others did in winning it The offices he did accept, it might well be said, were thrust upon him. He was born great and above office and unwillingly descended to it." So much by way of preparing the reader to meet the great commoner in these page a There were those who accused Mr. Wright of being a spoilsman, the only warrant for which claim would seem to he his remark in a letters **Whe» our enemies accuse us of feeding our friends Instead of them never let them He In telling the story."

I supposed that the world was peopled by Joneses, Lincoins, Humphries and Dunkelberga, but mostly by Dunkelberga. These latter were very rich people who lived 1A Ca&ton village. I know, now, how dearly Aunt Deel toyed her brother and me. I must have been a great trial to that woman of forty unused to the psanks of children and the tender offices of a mother. Naturally I turned from her to my Uncle Peabody as a refuge and s help in time of trouble, with increasing fondness. He bad no knitting or sewing to do and when Uncle Peabody sat m the house he gave an his time to me and we weathered many a storm together as we sat silently in his favorite corner, of an evening, when 1 always went to sleep In his arms. I was seven years old when Uncle Peabody gave me the watermelon seeds. I put one of them in my mouth and bit It "It appears to me there's an awful draft blowin' down your throat," said Uncle Peabody. "You ain't no business eatin' a melon seed." "Why?" was my Query. "'Cause It was made to put In the grdund. Didn't you know it was alive?" "Alive 1" I exclaimed. "Alive," said he, "I'll show ye." He put a number of the seeds In the ground and covered them, and said that part of the garden should be mine. I watched it every day and by and by two vines came up. One There were tears in my eyes when I asked: "They'll bring it back, won't t h e y r "Never!" said Uncle Peabody, *Tm afraid they've et It up." ' He had no sooner said it than a' cry broke from my lips, and I sank down upon the grass moaning and sobbing. I lay amidst the rains of the simple faith of childhood. It was as if the world and all its joys had come fo an end. < Aunt Deel spoke in a low, kindly tone and came and lifted me to my feet very tenderly. ' "Come, Bart, don't feel so about that old melon," said she, "it ain't worth It. Come with me. I'm going to give you a present—ayes I be!" I was still crying when she too* me to her trunk, and offered th« grateful assuagement of candy and a belt all embroidered with blue and whije beads.

If it be the problem of how a little company of seventy persons could become an host of six hundred thousand men in so short a time, let us remember that God promised it, and all difficulties will vanish. There is a time coming when there shall be another amazing Increase In Israel (Ezekiel 86:10» 11, 37, 38; 37:26). II. A New Dynasty (1:8-10).

My father and mother died in a scourge of diphtheria that swept the neighborhood when I was a boy of five. A few days after I arrived In the home of my sunt and uncle I slyly entered the parlor and climbed the whatnot to examine some white flowers on its top shelf and tipped the whole thing over, scattering its burden of albums, wax flowers and seashells on the floor. My aunt came running on her tiptoes and exclaimed: "Mercy 1 Come right out o' here this minute-1* you pest!" ^ I took some rather long steps going out, which were due to the 2act that Aunt Deel bad held of my mend. While I sat weeping aha went back into the parlor and began to pick up things. "My wrest*! my wreath r I heard *er moaning. How well X remember that little aaas well go into a cage o' wolves.

Mean* while he looked at me and exclaimed: "You dreadful child 1" I knew that my sjns were responsible for this violence. It frightened me and my cries Increased. The door at the bottom of the stairs opened suddenly. Aunt Deel called: "Don't lose your temper, Peabody. I think you've gone fur 'nough—ayes!" Uncle Peabody stopped end blew as If he were very tired find then I caught a look in his face that reassured me. He called back to her: "I wouldn!t 'a' cared so much If It hadn't 'a' been the what-not and them Minervy flow- "Well, don't be too severe. You'd bettor come now and git me a pail o* water—ayes, I think ye had." Uncle Peabody did a lot of sneezing and coughing with his big, red hand- It was hard work, I thought, to go down Into the garden, night and morning, with my little pall full of water, but uncle said that I should get my pay when the melon was ripe. I had also tb keep the wood-box full and feed the chickens. They were odious tasks. When I asked Aunt Deel what I should get for doing them she answered quickly: "Nospanks and bread, and butter— ayes!" When I asked what were "nospanks" she told me that they were- part of the wages of a good child. I was better paid for my care of the watermelon vine, for its growth was measured with a string every day and kept me interested.

I called for help and uncle came and found me on the floor and put ma back in bed again. For a long time I thought that the way a man punished a boy Was by thumping his bed. I knew that women had a different and less satisfactory method, for J remembered that my mother had spanked me and Aunt Deel had a way of giving my hands and head a kind of watermelon thump with the middle finger of her right hand and wtth a curious look in her eyes. Uncle Peabody used to call it a "snaptlous look." Almost always he whacked the bed with his slipper. „ There were exceptions, however, and, by and by, I came to know In each case the destination of the slipper, for if I had done anything which really afflicted my conscience that strip of leather seemed to know the truth, and found its way to my person. Aunt Deel toiled incessantly. She washed and scrubbed end polished and dusted and sewed end knit from morning until night She lived in mortal fear that company would come and find her unprepared—Alma Jones «t Jabez Lincoln and his wife, or Ben and] Mary Humphries, or "Mr. and Mm, Horace Dunkelberg.** These were the) people of whom she talked when the neighbors came in and when she was not talking of the Bayneses. I observed that she always said "Mr, and Mrs, worst thing that a walertiit-ios v«" acquire while it is on the vine. I invited everybody that came to the house to go and see my watermelon. They looked it over and said pleasant things about i t When I was a boy people used to treat children and watermelons with a like solicitude. Both were a subject for jests and produced similar reactions In the human countenance. At last Uncle Peabody agreed, with me that It was about time to pick the melon. I decided to pick it immediately after meeting on Sunday, so that I could give it to my aum> and uncle at dinner-time. When we got home I ran for the garden. My feet and those of our friends and neighbors had literally worn a path to the melon. In eager haste I got my lKtle wheelbarrow and ran with It to the end of that path.. There I found nothing but broken vines I The melon had vanished. I ran back to the house almost overcome by a feeling of alarm, for I had thought long of that hour of pride when I should bring the melon and present It to my aunt and uncle. ~ "Uncle Peabody," I shouted, **my melon is gone."

At l e a s t four-fifths of all dairy calve* a r e raised on s e p a r a t e d milk, grain being used to supply the fat removed. Usually i t pays well to feed whole milk for about two weeks, at the end "of which time separated milk may be used in part. T h e proportion of tinlatter may be gradually increased until at the end of the fourth week ii is used altoj^'ther. N'o fixed rules of feeding. based upon aye, can be vui\'«'n, lHvuu.se the size and vigor of the call! must always be considered. Calves especially strong at birth may be put on separated milk entirely at two weeks of age, but this should not be a t t e m p t e d with weak ones. Until the calf is in vigorous and thrifty condition no a t t e m p t s should be made to change to separated milk. This ehunge should always be made gradually. For the first 1'ouV days, from eight to twelve pounds of .milk from the dam should be fed. ^.After this time the milk may be from any cow or cows in the herd, but preferably not from any that are nearly dry. Milk . containing not more than 4 per cent of butterfat is considered the best for this purposed At the beginning of the third week the substitution of either skim or separated milk may commence at the rate of one pound a day.

P u r i n e the week the elimice sbntild he 1 continued until by the end of the week only separated milk is fed. With especially viperous calves the ch;in^'° to separated mi;k may be made about a week earlier. After this rime separated milk may be fed entirely unless the calf is very delieate. The cmantity ferl enn be gradually increased until IS to 20 pnund> a rlriy aro driven. It is usually not economical to feed mere t l . i n this unless milk Is very plentiful. T h e time t h a t milk should be discontinued depends upon its cost in relation to the value of the calf, Its breed, size, visor, etc. T h e season in which it reaches the age of six months and t h e other feeds available a t t h a t time must also be t a k e n into consideration. Six months is probably a good a v e r a g e age at which to wean calves from milk. When t h e best of hay, silage, and a good variety of •grains a r e available, the calf m a y be weaned earlier t h a n when such feeds are tacking. T h e season of good, succulent pasturage pre* sents the best possible condition for weaning a calf, and when t h i s exists the calf c a n be weaned earlier than when it is lacking. When the calf Is two months olo\ anil if It U- carefully watched^ soar ! E G G S P O U L T R Y V E A L Vciil W e d n c s . ' k i v .T.urnkr.

There .were stiU some to be finished—In fact there were many to be finished, but none of them were worried, for they knew perfectly well that Santa Claus never left *any toys unfinished/ That was the wonderful part of Santa Claus. He could be rushed and hurried and he could be so busy that you wondered how It was possible for him to do so much and you might think, if you didn't know, that some of those many, many things wouldn't be done. But the toys knew, for the tools which Santa used to make them with whispered to them many secrets. "He may be busy," the tools always told the new toys, "but he'll finish you and you'll go to the children on Christmas day." "We're sure he'll finish us," the toys now said, "for not only.have the tools told us' so, but we can see from his dear, Jolly smiling face that everything is going to be done. He wouldn't be so smiling If he were worried over things not being finished; he is simply very, very busy and that Is why he Is working so." For no matter how hard Santa Claus may work beforehand, there are always so many things which have to be lpft until the end. Children then decide what they hope they will get for Christmas, and write Santa letters. The letters have to be read, and each child, every child has to have his or her own little list made out.

Nov. 9, 1618 Dear Mother, Father and All: As I have a little spare time this morning I write to tell you I am still over here. 1 am feeling fine and the cool weath- ' here agrees with me. You will see that my address is the same but we bave moved further on. I will not call the place by name as it would be censored but I am still "somewhere in Russia." I like it fine where we are now; we have a Y. M. C. A. with a canteen also a lunch counter and we can get a dandy hot cup of cocoa, cookies Jand a rice piece of cake for one and one naif roubles, which is fifteen cents American money and it certainly goes good on cold evening. The way things look we will be home soon if we don't get frozen in over here. We all chipped in and bought some musical instruments—you know i t gets dark so 'soon over here, it makes the evenings so long—so we have lots c f music and singing. We have a jolly bunch of fellows—like brothers to one another. I presume Lee is working as hard as ever; wish I was there t o b e l p n i n v Well, folks, I roust close"*or *bja time.

It Is also good to knojv that people have learned something fibout the value of fresh air. In suiBiner, when people are largely out of "doors, the respiratory dlseuses (coughs, colds, pneumonia, etc.) are infrequent; in the fall, as people begin to remain Indoors, the respiratory diseases Increase; In the winter, when people are prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the respiratory diseases become very prevalent. Suitable Clothing Important. "Still another factor in the production of colds, pneusoonla and other respiratory diseases ill carelessness or ignorance of the people regarding suitable clothing during the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting in .warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed In order to be comfortably warm. This is a very injurious practice. Could Save 100,000 Lives. "I believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually in the United States If all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example, in tuberculosis sanatoria. There is nothing mysterious about it—no specific medicine, no vaccine. The important thing is right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. Droplet Infection Explained in Pictures. "The Bureau of Public Health, tTreasury Department, has just issued a striking poster drawn by lierryman, the well-known Washington cartoonist. (The poster exemplifies the modern method of health education. A few fears ago, umfag similar etyc-umstaaess^ the health authorities ipouUl have Issued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet infection in the spread of respiratory diseases.

BIT Tof PROTK attention of health officers Is directed to pneumonia., bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this winter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health instructions. "The present epidemic," said Surgeon General Blue, "has taught by bitter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded against" The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a great fire, saying, "No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flamesand visible fire have disappeared, On the contrary, he continues the water for hours and even j days, for he knows that there is danger of the fire rekindling from smoldering embers." v ^ "Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" he was.naked.

D.—Chimes Thought to Be Possessed of Supernatural Power, Six Columns of the Temple of the Sun. IN T H E path of the victorious British expedition In Palestine as It moved northward lay the mountain ranges of the Lebanon, and Aleppo, the taking of which city gave teomplete control of the Syrian end of the Bagdad railway and of the important port of Alexandretta, the best harbor in the country. Prom Damascus the railway to the north traverses the Beka'a, a long, fertile valley between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges. In the middle of this valley on the slope of the latter range is Bituated the ancient town of Baalbek relebrated for Its wonderful ruins. Baalbek is a small and prosperous town, a large part of the population being Christian, says Country Life, find it is the seat of the government of a province of the same name and a military center. Ya'kubi, an Arab Writer of the ninth century, speaks of baalbek as one of the finest towns of 8yria, and other writers make allusion to this beautiful spot and its wonderful ruins. It is spoken of by the geographer, Nur Kaddasl, as the coolest place in Syria. As the name Baalbek, which is Semitic in origin, implies, it was connected from early times with the worship of the sun, probably meaning the city of Baal in the Beka'a, by which the plain is known. The Phoenicians here erected a great temple to Baal constructed with colossal stones after their manner. This was afterwards utilized and reconstructed in the Oraeco- Roman period, when the name Baalbek took the Greek form of Hellopolis. the ground level, and measure respectively 64 feet, 63½ feet and 62 feet in length, by 13 feet in thickness and about the same In breadth. The writer notes that they are so beautifully squared and fitted that, although without mortar, it would be difficult to put a knife between them. The quarry from which these gigantic stones were brought Is about half a mile away; and there another one„ still larger, is to be seen. This is 68 feet long and, being squared on all sides, was left in process of being cut from the rock below, when rollers would have been placed under it. But of what were they, and what power was sufficient to move and control this Immense mass of limestone rock? Romans Reused the Stones. The Roman builders would appear to have largely reused the stones of the earlier Phoenician work. The temple of the Sun Itself had 54 columns, 17 each on the north and south sides, and ten each on the east and west sides. On the south side six of these great columns still remain standing. They are 75 feet in height, Including base and capital, while the entablature above adds another 14 feet; the shafts consist of three blocks only, Joined with iron ties, their diameter is 7 feet 3 Inches at the base and 6 feet 6 inches at the top. To the south Is the temple of Jupiter. This is 227 feet by 117 feet, and on a low er level. It also faced east, and had a beautiful portico and stone stair case, nothing of which remains. The peristyle had 42 colmuns, 13 on the ALWAYS, everywhere in our land, we look to the ringing of bells to announce the death of the old year and the birth of the new. Not until we actually hear the bells ringing from the church steeples, somehow, do we really turn to each other and exclaim "Happy New Year!" All of which brings us to the question of why people ring bells. They seem to have figured in the life of man way, way back in the dim and distant years. And they have been used to convey messages of various sorts to those within sound of their alarm. Among the ancient Greeks those who made the nightly rounds of the camps and garrisons used to ring a bell at each sentinel box to make sure that the soldier on duty within was awake. They also put bells upon the necks of criminals to warn all people to avoid them. The Romans used bells to announce the hour of the bath. It is believed that bells were first used In churches about 400 years after the birth of Christ. And by the twelfth century they were In common use in churches all over Europe. Most of these, however, were hand bells, made of thin plates of hammered iron, bent Into a four-sided shape and fastened with rivets and bronzed. Then gradually, as people began to hang the bells In steeples and belfries, they became larger. In 1734 a huge bell was cast in Moscow, Russia. It is over twenty-one feet In height and diameter and weighs 193 tons. The largest bell in America is in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, at Montreal, and weighs 29,400 pounds. In all ages and all countries, the material most used in the manufacture of bells has been a mixture of two parts of copper to one of tin. called bronze. At present about thirteen parts of copper are used to four of tin. Bells have been made of iron, steel, gold, silver, brass and even of glass, though when made of glass they have been found too fragile for practical use. Back in the old days, the people believed that bells possessed supernatural power; by ringing them at certain times, they believed, storms, pestilence and famine could be averted. AMONG NEW YEAR'S RICHES Trials and Suffering a Part of Rich Heritage God Gives to Each of His Children. Part of the r^ch heritage that God has planned for you in the New Year Is suffering. He will permit In the life of each child of his a p o r t i o n - just the right portion—of difficulty and trial and temptation. What we Bee In those trials and temptations will largely determine the riches that Willie ours in this year. A Christian layman recently wrote to a friend; "How fine it would be to go out In the opening year so yielded that every fresh circumstance or trial or temptation would prove to hove the sweet face of Christ concealed in it, or bursting like a flood of glory through some rift In the cloud and filling with radiance our uplifted faces; so that each new obedience should be but the parting of the curtain, .ushering us Into new wonders and experiences of his inexhaustible riches and fullness. Old things would then be continually passing away, all things constantly becoming new." What glories of abounding grace— that the worst Satan can do against THE LOST CHANCES Whenever I a m starting- o u t Upon a freah n e w y e a r \ always atop to. think about The one no longer here, The year t h a t ' s dead I travel back And let my m e m o r y r u n In contemplation t h r o u g h the stack Of things I could have aone.

I learn the w >rda I meant to s a y To comfort a n d to cheer, And yet postponed them for a day, I didn't speak t h a t year. And then to m y disgrace I find T h a t had I paused to smile And do those little actions kind I'd not have lost a mile. I learn now t h a t t h e chance h a s gone Th,at I have missed a lot, For all those deeds I could have done As easily a s not. And when a t last life Is through And all my course is run, In deep regret I shall review The deeds I could have done. And I shall wish I had to tell Where nothing m a y be hid The many thlngB I could a s we'll Have done, yet never did. the child of God in this New Year only furnishes a fresh opportunity for God to pour out the treasures of hla unspeakable Gift! The promise to supply every need of ours ilaccording to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" is not a promise for the life to come, when all sorrow and sickness and temptation to evil will be at an end, but it Is a promise made In full view of every trial and temptation that we shall meet today. Let us then count It all joy when we fall into our difficulties and trials, confidently remembering that along with each of them we have—Jesus. Making a New Year. The virtue of a New Year Is not In its change, of name. The first days of January a r e so exactly like the last days of December that we have to make a conscious and continued effort to write the proper date on our letters. If this is to be a New Year indeed, we must make it so ourselves, putting into it new hopes arrd ambitions, new resolutions and effect. The virtue of the New Tear Is in the new aspiration and persistence we bring to i t One Mora! Standard. There is one moral standard for all Christians—there has never been more than one. The Commandments and the Sermon on the-Mount have been always there. It was the wickedness of men that ignored them in the fifteenth century—It is the wickedness of men that ignores them now. Tolerate them in the past, a n d you will come to tolerate them. In present and future.

Our people were greatly shocked to ITALY'S EFFORT IN WORLD WAR Military, Financial and Industrial Contributions Equal to Allies. ENLISTED 5,500,000 SOLDIERS ,. By DR. F E L I C E F E R R E R O , Director Italian Bureau of Publlo Information. The blood aud treasure of Italy were freely spent In the successful effort to put Austria-Hungary out of the war. While Italy's efforts were not confined to the Austrian front, her contribution to allied success was greater here than in the other places where her troops fought the battle for civilization. H e r financial and industrial efforts have been equal to her military effort, and in all these directions Italy has not lagged behind her allies. Italy's soldiers have gone far afield. They contributed largely to the glorious victory on the Balkan front. A large contingent in F r a n c e first gave powerful aid in the defense of Rheims, then took part In the advance of the J allied forces. Italy Had 5,500,000 Under Arms. Since the beginning of the war Italy has called to the colors little less than 5,500,000 men and has suffered a loss of almost 1,500,000 of them. Of that loss nearly 350,000 died in battle, and 100,- 000 from disease. Over 550,000 are totally incapacitated, either by blindness, loss of limb or tuberculosis. At the present moment the strength of the Italian nrmy is 4,025,000, Including the class of men born in 1900, who have been called to the colors recently. It may be said, then, that the nation's man-power has suffered a permanent loss of nearly a million. But Italy lias Indicted an even greater punishment upon the foe. In Austrian prisoners alone she has taken approximately a million. The Austrian loss in killed and wounded is, of eourse, unknown to us, but even the most conservative estimates make it far greater lhan ours.

Calculating on the basis of a monthly average expenditure for the war of $240,000,000, the total cost of the war to Italy would be more than $12,000,000,000.

S& HUGE SUM SPENT ON FORTIFICATIONS C I Q H T BILLION DOLLAR APPROPRIATION A8KED OF CONGRE8S NEXT JULY. IfOE PU»S REPUBLIC W U l j u i ^ g ^ ^ 6,316,704 DEAD TO KEEP URGE FIGHTING FORCE Diplomatic Expense* for Next Year Put At $11,042,236.66 More Than Trebled in Last Decade. Washington.—First details of the eight billion dollar appropriation asked of congress for the fiscal year beginning next July were given in a statement prepared by the treasury department and lair before the sen ate by Chairman Simmons, of the finance committee. It brings out two very interesting points. More than half the amount to be spent is to be devoted to war purposes. Of the eight billion dollars four and a half billions are to go directly to the army and navy. The nation must maintain a great fighting force for some time in spite of the actual cessation of hostilities. The army to be kept in Europe must be equipped and fed, and the cost of supporting a million men 3,000 miles away from their base of supplies will require a huge sum of money. Big Sum for Fortifications. With this expenditures is the estimate for fortifications and the military academy. The former item calls for $574,237,273.30. Ten years ago, In the fiscal year of 1908-09, the country spent less than $10,000,000 on its fortifications, and it was an unusually large appropriation. When the Democrats secured control of the public purse the amount was cut in two, and in the year when the country was assured that the agitation for preparedness against war - was pleasant mental exercise for persons who were unnecessarily excited and alarmed and that the national defense had not been neglected by the gov. ernment the appropriation was barely $5,000,000. Diplomatic Expenses Trebled. The expenditures for the department of agriculture ten years ago were $11,672,106. For the coming year the estimates are $30,048,786. The amount for this purpose has en two and a half times. The estimate for the consular and lomatic service for next year is $11,042,236.66. Ten years ago the amount spent on this service was $3,- 638,852.72. It has trebled during the decade. The increase for the District of Columbia is 150 per cent; for the Indian service, 130 per cent; for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the government, 360 per cent; for pensions, 135 per cent. The sundry civil appropriation, which covers a multitude of items not elsewhere specified in appropriation bills and is a sort of grabbag where provision is made for matters close to the hearts of congressmen in these days when pork bills are under the ban, has jumped from about $94,000,000 to $902,000,000 plus in the present bill. Senate Will Be Formed to Take the Place of Former Diet. Copenhagen.—A committee o! German experts Investigating the German political situation wit> the view to determining the most advisable form of government,/lias decided to recommend formation of a German republic to be headed by a president who shall have powers "midway between those of the American president and the British king." The president should have the right to form his own cabinet, the committee advocates. It is further recommended to form a body of representatives of the 14 or 15 German Btates to be analagous to the American senate. This body is to take the place of the former diet. The report foreshadows a complete union between Bavaria and German Austria, and says there should be no objection to formation of permanent republics by Rhenish Prussia, Westphalia, and Silesia.

C—Walter Hinea Page, who resigned last August as embassador to Great Britain because of ill health, died here. Mr. Page was born in Cary, N. C, snd educated in Randolph-Macon college in the suburbs of Richmond and in Johns Hopkins university. After leaving college his natural interest in the south led him to abandon his first journalistic post on a Missouri paper to travel through the southern states. A great many years ago, Page's interest broadened to take in other parts.of the country. Mr. Page became editor of the Forum and .later editor of the Atlantic Monthly in Boston. After live years in Boston with the Atlantic, Mr. Page, with P. N. Doubleday, established the publishing house of Doableday, Page & Co., in New Tot*. H& three sons graduated from Harvard, and his daughter, Miss atatfcorlse Page, from Bryn Mawr Washington,—The minimum fee to be paid the American International corporation for constructing 180 ships, costing $256,000,000, will amount to about $8,910,000, Charles Plez, general manager of the shipping board's emergency fleet corporation, testified before the senate committee investigating Hog Island construction. In view of increased expense, he Bald, the fees will amount to only slightly more than 2 per cent on the cost of production. The witness fixed the—approximate cost of these ships at about $225 per ton, and said England now pays about $140 per ton, while the Emergency Fleet corporation had been paying about $190 a ton. Replying to a statement made by Senator Harding that the contracts for ships had been awarded to meet the war emergency, Mr. Piez recommended going ahead to meet world tonnage shortage, estimate at 20,- 000,000 dead weight tons. The cost of the great shipbuilding plant at Hog Island was estimated at $63,300,000 by Mr. Pies. He said the yard which has delivered one ship and had 50 keels laid should be completed In 60 days. U. 8. Operation Discussed. "Would you have the government take over the yards or continue their operation as now?" Senator Johnson, of California, had asked, "Thafs being considered now," replied Mr. Pies. "There are some grave disadvantages in taking them over." Britain Army Official Losses In Killed Total 658,704— Italy's Loss Put At 500,000. Copenhagen—Russia's war casualties total 9,150,000 men, according to a telegram received from Petrograd. Of this number 1,700,000 were killed. This brings the total of all nations killed in action to 6,316.704. Estimates of Russian casualties In the war, made last week by the Russian information bureau director, A. J. Sack, in New York, figured the total at "not less than 8,000,000 ^nen, of whom 3,000,000 were killed and about 1,000,000 disabled for life." Figures compiled by the Cologne Gazette and published November 25 placed total German casualties at more than 6,000,000, estimating about 2,000,000 killed. French soldiers killed, according to a statement made in the French chamber of deputies, December 20, by Lucien Voilin, a Socialist deputy, numbered 1,400,000.

It will be more profitable to complete the study of Joseph in his attitude toward his kindred than to undertake the review. I. Joseph Sends to Canaan for His Father (45:17-28). After Joseph had made himself known to his brethren he sent them back to his father In Canaan with the good news not only that he was alive, but that the Lord had exalted him to be lord over all Egypt, and that his father and brethren with their families should come down to Egypt where he would give them the best of the land and that they should eat of the "fat of the land." This Illustrates how one day Jesus Christ shall disclose his identity to his brethren the Jews, and that his exaltation at the right hand of the Father was to make preparation for them against the awful day of trial which shall be visited upon them (Acts 3:19-21). II. Joseph Meets His Father in the Land of Goshen (46:29-34). Jacob experienced a double delight —that of seeing his beloved son whom he had long mourned as dead, and of being welcomed to the new and strange land by Its prime minister. Joseph Instructed his father and brethren how to place their request before Pharaoh. Since their occupation was that of shepherds he knew that some tact should be employed In their approach to the king, for "every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians." Ml. Jacob and Five Sona Presented to Pharaoh (47:1-7). Though Joseph was high in authority he was not ashamed to bring his father and brethren Into the presence of the great Pharaoh, even though they were humble farmers. 1. Pharaoh's Question ( w . 3, 4). He inquired as to their occupation. They answered that both they and their father were shepherds. They went a little beyond what they were asked by Pharaoh and instructed to do by Joseph. They requested the land of Goshen, for they knew it was a good place for pasture for their flocks. 2. Pharaoh's Instructions to Joseph (vv. 5, 6). He told him to make his father and brethren to dwell In the best of the land—even Goshen, and that If he knew of any men of ability among them to give them the charge of his cattle. He assumed that since Joseph was so capable and trustworthy that some of his brethren would also possess suitable qualifications of ad* ministration. IV. Jacob Blessed Pharaoh (47:7* 10). Though Jacob was a pilgrim in Egypt, dependent upon Pbaraoh even for food to eat, in the dignity of his faith of what God would do with him, aud through him, he pronounced a blessing upon the great Egyptian king. The less is blessed by the greater (Hebrews 7:7). Though conscious of his place of superiority through the divine covenant he did not manifest ofneiousneas, but rather the desire to convey a vital blessing. H e recognized that he was the channel through which great blessings would come to Pharaoh, in accordance with the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12:1-3). Israel is one day to be the channel through which the blessings of salvation shall flow to the Gentile nations (Romans 11:12- 15). V. Joseph Nourished Hla Father and Brethren (47:11,12). According to the Instructions of Pharaoh, Joseph placed his father and brethren in the beat of the land and made provision for them. Jeans Christ win one day, when the famine of the great tribulation Is-exceeding sore, be reconciled to bis brethren, the Jews, and will give them a possession in the beat of the land and nottrlsh them, Christ ta BOW seated with* the Father oa hla throne, and one day will reveal himself to hla brethren ta* Jewe and WIS toad thatb on the "fat of tho land?* Jacob Hred ra Bgypt Mr yeara, Whan w***^eas • • ' • • • n a v ^ r * e^^ew as^a^ava^aj ^ay£gejgs>ej^Bs,vava^sjBV -'CjBJBS • exacted front Joaepa a prcauaa that he wtwM ba*f hta la Canaan, ^ a Meaaed ?oase*'e eoaa M v i a j * « > « : -.^- -" ; • « . . • * * ' •»•»»•*«•**»••;*. . . - M ' . , . . . x * • » , . . ;¥i • > • • •<**\ ^ ¾ J!<t..- GERMANY TO RISE IF WEST BANK OF RHINE IS TOUCHED FOE LEADER 8AY8 T H E R E M U 8 T NOT BE NO NEW ECONOMIC BAR.

Washington—Steady progress in theiestablishment of a popular government in Finland on a comparativelystable basis free from German control has resulted in a decision by the* United States and Allies to furnish that country immediately with food! stuffs for civilian relief. In making this announcement the? war trade board said: "The moment Russia succeeds in achieving the same* degree of social and political equilibrium with Finland she will be throwing open for her own benefit a door by which- food and many other necessities of ltfe may enter freely from the* outside world." Shipment of 28,000,000 pounds o* foodstuffs to Finland, it was announced, was authorized by the war trade board oS recommendation of Herbert Hoover, who is in Europe a s - sisting to work out a program of r e - lief for distressed people of that country, and with the approval of the Allied governments.

G. Chapman.) CHAPTER >fVII—Continued. —12— "Be silent, sir! Gentlemen," he conidnued, addressing Mark and the Colo mel, "yon are interested In knowing "What happened to this man Hampton. "He could not rid himself of the belief •that Justice, though slow, is pretty sure. He had faith In God. Unfortunately he had less faith In himself. Am I wronging you, Hampton?" he continued, addressing Hartley. "No, sir," muttered the man on the stretcher^ feebly. "He wishes me to tell the whole story. He went to Cuba and flung Tn "his lot with the rebels. He became •disgusted with their means and meth- -ods, obtained a pardon from General yWeyler, and took up his residence in Santiago. The outbreak of the war eurprlsed him there. He knew that Santiago would fall, and he had been warned that he would receive short thrift at the hands of our people. "He longed for death, but he had two things that kept alive the desire for life. One was his child, the other the -desire for vindication, which had become a monomania. He tried to escape Into the jungle. He saw thut it was hopeless. ••He was hiding in a little hut when he heard, footsteps. An American soldier, who had strayed from his company, was coming into the clearing. At that moment a stray bullet caught him in the head, killing him instantly. Hampton saw his chance. He took off the dead man's clothing nnd put it on; he dressed the body in his own. He knew that by this means he could pass through the lines In the guise of a wounded man, until he had a chance to get rid of his uniform in the cabin of «ome Cuban, who would be only too •well pleased to give him some rags in -exchange for it. And, leaving his money and papers on the dead man, he knew that he left his Identity behind, for the bullet had destroyed the features. 'There was the child—but Hampton knew that he could take her no further. With the Americans she would receive food—which he had not—and shelter and protection. Afterward he would regain her. He lurked in the tmshes until he saw Captain Wallace Appear, watched him, trusted him, and went away, "He learned of the child's adoption, -and for years he haunted her home, lier school, all places that were her residence, ever craving her, ever restrained by the realization that, till his name was cleared, he had no right to her. His Idea of vindication had become, as I said, a monomania. "Now, gentlemen, I have little time to spare, but I must carry this story to the end. I said that he had less faith In himself than he had in God. Once, for three years, Hampton lost his child. She had gone to San Francisco. In his despair he went to Washington, he sought out Hilda Morsheim, who was still plying her trade, and Pegged, as he had never begged anyone, that she would vindicate his name." There was a stillness as of utter death inside the little cave. "She saw in him one of those useful spies such as her organization used, broken men with inside knowledge of conditions. She useo* him, held out promises, broke them; in his despair lie made himself a slave to her and— and her confederate, forgetting his manhood and what he had been. Time and again they broke faith with him. B e had just realized that he had nothing to hope for from them when Captats Wallace appeared on the scene." *Yes, he was a .rotten dog, sir," said Kelierman, with the ghost of a smile. * » i s on such evidence that you 'pre* aume— V "No, sir, It Is n o t r thundered the General. "It is on the evidence of the woman Hilda "Morsheim, alias Kenson, secured by Hampton under circumstances wbtch-*-" Kelierman ottered a low cry; he was trembling now* and «11 his bravado •earned to have cosed away. "This woman, strangely enough, loved her confederate," went on the «epefai remorselessly, fixing his eyes -full oft:Kelierman* now, while Kelierin* n.bUnked Use a bat In daylight and turned his head weakly from side to -iafd*Y as if under the Intolerable glare >-••«* a^ssejrthttgbt. "Her claims on btrn strong enough, God knows t She another, with a girl as much above him as—" With a cry that seemed hardly huv man Colonel Howard sprang toward Kelierman, his fingers twitching as if he sought to fasten them about his throat. Mark caught him and held him, while the old man swayed to and fro, his outstretched arm extended toward Kelierman as if In tmprecatlon, Eleanor, at Hartley's side, did not even look toward them. "This woman, Morsheim—Reason— whatever you call her, came to France, upon receipt of a message which had cut her to the heart, shown her the hopelessness of her dreams, and taught her that the one man In whom she had believed was worthless clay. To do her jnstlce, let us suppose that, even in her worst acts, she had been sustained by a sense of duty to her country. "She met her confederate in an inn at a village not far distant. Frantic at her appearance, he Induced her to let him drive her back through the lines, and on the way renewed his lying promises. This time she doubted him. "Two men had overheard their conversation. One was Captain Wallace, whom the pair had broken as they broke poor Hampton. Him the traitor had seen, and he devised a scheme to send him to the trenches and contrive to have him sent on a false and fatal errand. With that point I shall not now deal. The other man was Hampton, who had enlisted under an alias, in the belief that he would obtain a clue that would unmask the traitor. He contrived to go back through the lines, found the woman, and somehow—perhaps by God's wonderful mercy—obtained her signed confession—which I have here. In full!" He wheeled upon Kelierman. "Major Kelierman," he said in a deep voice that vibrated almost with pity, BO charged with significance that its meaning could not escape either Howard or Mark, "you are under arrest. You will go toward your quarters, first removing your belt and arms." Kelierman saluted weakly and stumbled out of the cave. The General looked at Mark, "The soldier Weston receives a free and full pardon for his valor In the field this day," he said. "He Is also discharged honorably from the service of the United States government." Mark looked at the general In astonishment; this was the last thing that he desired. The General approached and clapped him on the shoulder. "Captain Wallace," he said, "your written resignation from the United States army cant'''& 3 *--;*&&* aim t* marry her, to take her " j p *tmj the <rid scenes that the* ^•isaamt'katre a ehnnee to redeem their ttrej together .

And behind them Mark had the dim consciousness in the background of his mind of Kelierman, broken as be bad broken so many, and fumbling, always fumbling, now with his tunic, now with the belt that he was trying to detach with shaking fingers. "Hartley 1" whispered Mark, holding the dying man's hand in his. "That was you today—I missed you, but I believed in youT You saved me." There was a fluttering pressure of Mark's hand in turn. Hampton was speaking; he was asking for the Colo- Santiago." nel. "I am here, Hampton," said Colonel Howard in a choked voice, as he leaned over him. "You believe, in me now, sir?" muttered the dying man, rolling his head uneasily In the effort to see. "May God forgive me, Hampton! May she—your wife—forgive me. Tell her that, and tell her her words came true. I betrayed my best friend, and I've suffered for it, and I shall suffer to the last day of my life." "She forgives you, Howard," said Hampton, speaking now with such solemnity that his words seemed to his listeners to be inspired. "There's—only —one thing—I want, Howard, old man." "Yes, my dear boy—yes, Hampton." "Put my name—back on the mess list," whispered Hampton. Through his tears Mark was conscious that the Interminable fumbling outside the cave had ceased. As Hampton fell back there came the sudden crack of a revolver shot. The General's form blocked the entrance as they raised their heads. Mark placed his hands across Eleanor's eyes and drew her away. know why I have told you what I've often plnehed myself to keep from telling you? Because you loved me without exactly knowing it—" "But I did know It, my dear."

Perhaps it wus because they had seen so many horrors during the past four-and-twenty hours that these seemed all to have fallen away that night at staff headquarters. There was a brief hour of rest after Interminable labors, the lines had been held and the great assault repelled In confusion ; for that hour every man seemed bent upon forgetting the Incidents of war, and something like gaiety ruled In the messroom. All the past seemed very far away to Captain Mark Wallace as he stood with Eleanor in the little cottage garden. "When the auto comes to take you back to the hospital I shall feel that my new life has lost the best part of Its promise," said Mark. It was a long and extraordinarily imaginative speech for him, and he stood shamefaced after he had said It, like a boy who has delivered a grown man's aphorism. "Captain Mark," said Eleanor, "you knew who I was, and you could not— you could not have believed ray father innocent, and yet you had faith In me. You must have suffered when I used to talk about my dreams of him, and you hid your suffering and your knowledge because of me." "That was nothing, Eleanor." "Captain Mark," she whispered, bending toward him. "I—I kissed you today." "That wag nothing, Eleanor." "Captain Mark! What do you mean? How dare you P Mark looked utterly disconcerted. "I mean—I mean, Eleanor, I'm Just your old guardian—a sort pf old friend, you know, and you were glad I had come back safe." "Cv Captain Mark!" said Eleanor, shaking with helpless laughter which disconcerted him still more; nnd yet he thought her lashes were wet with tears. "Captain Mark, are you really going to make me say it?" "Say what, my dear?" "That it ought to have been .you." "But you mustn't let that worry you, Eleanor. It's often done in such cases —I Just thought you were too old to kiss; You know, I wanted to—" "O thank you, thank you," said Eleanor wearily. "Captain Mark, you dear, absurd guardian of mine, I see you aren't going to spare me. So listen. I love you, and have loved you only, and nobody but you, all through my-ttfe, from the time I got your first letters to the time you came to see me at the Misses Harpers* school, and from then to now."

So it's really you who have told me all this, and I've Just been interpreting your thoughts, because all I did just now was to tell you what you wanted to tell me without knowing that you wanted to tell me what you did want oil the time. Isn't that so, Captain Mark?" "Yes," answered Mark, feeling completely at sea, but incapable of contradicting anything that Eleanor chose to say. "Isn't that so, Mark, dear?" "Of course it is," said Mark. "So you have actually told me that you care for me, and you want me to give you" my answer. Is that what you want me to understand, Captain Mark?" "Yes, my dear, of course it Is," answered Mark. Eleanor looked down thoughtfully. "Well, I'm not sure," she \aid, In, a meditative manner. "You know, you have been terribly, abominably; rude to me so often." Mark had a great horror of losing her. "And you've broken your solemn promise, and you can't Imagine what a shock that gave me, because I Idealized you In a childish way, and I never dreamed that you were capable of not keeping your word, Captain Mark." "I, Eleanor?" asked Mark in bewilderment. "Eleanor, surely I never promised anything that I didn't do." "Do you remember that evening in Washington, the evening when you came to see us, and we didn't get on well together at all, at first?" "And suddenly you became the little girl that I had adopted, Eleanor." "And suddenly you became my dear Uncle Mark again t Well, do you remember promising me that you would never give me up any more, no matter who might seem to have a better claim on me?

It is evident that the Government of the Dominion In its programme of reconstruction and development is undertaking a work of tremendous im* portance. There will be available the labor for work that has been silent since 1914, and the rehabilitation of this labor will entuil the thought and energy of most capable heads. The transition period from war to peace will be rapid and thorough, and, In* stead of Canada sinking into a state of lethargy, there will be a continued period of wakefulness that will give employment to the unemployed, and render to the capitalist and producer ample return for his money, effort and enterprise. The agricultural potentialities of the«great Canadian West possess illimitable acres of the best of soil, capable of producing millions of bushels of the best of grain. The cost of growing this is lower than any place on the continent. There will be a greatef demand than ever for these lands, the consequent production will be heavier and the profits attractive. Cattle industry will be one of the chief developments, and the encouragement of it will lie in the continued high prices that beef products will bring. European countries have been depleted of cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle and dairy products will tax the efforts of the producer for years to come. Western Canada offers unequaled opportunities for development in this Hue. In the Canadian West plans are being laid for the development of electrical power which can be produced cheaply. There is an abundance of coal and water power that could be used in developing this useful energy. What cheap power produced in this way will mean to the farmer and development of Industrial enterprises cannot be estimated in figures. More extensive development of the water power at Niagara, on the St. Lawrence and at waterfalls all over the country, Is ready to be launched. Peace will see new mine fields opened up, and it is equally certain that shipbuilding, railway equipment, steel production, and many of the Industries will go forward with a bound. Canadian industries will be required In the reconstruction of Europe, and already the Canadian Government has sent across the seas a commission for the purpose of securing orders. Canada took an early and prominent part in the war, and In the days of peace will be found equally active. She feels that by the valor and loyalty of her people she has earned a large share of the business and prosperity that will follow the war period, and she proposes to get It.—Advertisement. Just Imagine! Senator Garcia informed the Argentine senate recently that the foreigners resident In Buenos Aires are 56 per cent of the population, and added, courteously, that "If it were 70 per cent It would be all the better for the country." Although acknowledging the compliment, a British paper published there says: "If we were Argentines we would disagree decidedly, not merely with the senator, but with the circumstance. Imagine London with an alien population of more than half the total! Imagine the country at war, with such a collection of dubious consistency In Its business and executive base! It would not be possible to intern them. It would, on the other hand, be quite possible for them to intern the men of the soil."—-New York Post insr Every Day in Year Day in History.

SHIP C0W$ WITHOUT HORNS RECORD BY TILLY ALCARTRA Famous Holstein Recently Came Through With New High Mark of 40.56 Pounds of Butter. **Yoj can't keep a good man down," and tnis aphorism Is as true of cows as It is of men. In proof of which is the news that the famous purebred Holstein, Tilly Alcartra, Is again at her old tricks of rolling up records. She recently dropped her sixth calf, a heifer, and gave such promise of another successful lactation period ahead of her that her owners decided to put her on test. She came through with a new mark for seven days with 40.56 pound* of butter out of 729.1 pounds of milk, which shows the pace she is making in the yearly test she is on. With this record she is the twentyfifth "40-pound" Holstein cow. Tilly Alcartra has to her credit the production of 30,451.4 pounds of milk yielding 1,180.0:5 pounds of butter in Tilly Alcartra. 305 days. In two years she produced GO,278 pounds of milk ; in three years she produced 80,078 pounds of milk; in four years, 103,009.3 pounds of milk, and in five years she has produced 123,- 351 pounds of milk and 4,850.5 pounds of butter. She is the champion longdistance cow. At the time of her freshening she was nine years, three months and two days of- age. 2 GIVE COWS BALANCED RATION Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are Used by Animals in Quite Different Proportions. In feeding dairy cows the best results are always secured and the most economic use of feeds is obtained by providing a balanced ration. Careful studies have shown that the three classes of nutrients in feeds, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, are used by different animals in quite different proportions. A ration that supplies these nutrients in the proportion that the animal requires, is called a balanced ration. When enough of each of these classes is fed there is no wfiste, caused by feeding an unnecessary amount of one class of nutrients, Protein is used by the animal chiefly to form the muscles or lean flesh of the bod-?, the hair, the horns, the hoofs and the casein in the milk. The carbohydrates and the fat are a source of energy in the body, as well as that of the body fat and the fat in the milk. The compounding of & balanced ration is not difficult if one has at hand tables which show the digestible nutrients of the various feeds. Many farmers, however, obtain good results by more simple methods, and have found the following rules useful: 1. Feed all the roughage that the cow will eat up clean. 2. If the roughage contains eight to teu pounds of leguminous hay, such as clover, cowpen or alfalfa, mix the grain ratios so that it will contain from 14 to 16 per cent of protein. If the roughage does not contain a large proportion of leguminous hay, but is composed largely of corn silage, cornstalks, and timothy hay, mix the grain ration to contain 20 to 24 per cent of protein. 3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guernseys, giving milk testing 4 per cent in butterfat or higher, feed the grain mixture at the rate of one pound to every three pounds of milk produced. To cows giving milk which tests 3½ per cent in butterfnt or less, feed one pound of the grain mixture to every three and one-half to four pounds of milk produced. 4. If the cow is in poor flesh and is giving a good flow of milk, she will us* ually respond to heavier feeding and the grain ration should be Increased.

In case horned animals are shipped they should be tied securely or penned off in one end of the car to preclude the possibility of injuring other animals during the trip.

We had a fine trip across and landed in Liverpool Aug. 11- and from there went to a camp in England at Southhampton. From there we went to Recoles, France. We started work at a school in France Aug. 20 learning the "tanks'' and digging trenches, also going over the top etc. and we are under Frenen officers as our Battalion was turned over to the French government. This school is not a playground but it is better than the regular trenches and there is less danger.2 November 1st our captain got a message to go to tha front and fight but when we were all ready word was received that the the armistice was signned; so we are at Recolea yet.

Sergeant Sprout says that the difference bstween a "rest" camp and an ordinary camp is that at a "rest" camp they do everything but rest. The last siglit inEngland before crossing the channel was a large hospital ship loaded with wounded soldiers from the front, staggering into port with its helpleBS cargo of human freight. The ship had been torpedoed by a submarine and was barely able to reach the nearest friendly land, but finally succeeded and discharged its precious cargo safe- The night was bright an • c'oar and e moon was shining, which is eal for submarines in their chase for From your son, Pvt.

Anthvaenose, whilt not so widespread, that seed is clean and free from disease. In connection with its effort to assist the stamping out of anthracnoae and blight in the state, the department of botany is offering to m«»ke free testa for these diseases if samples are submitted. These samples can be left with -county agents for forwarding to the college, or can be mailed direct to the Department of Botany, Michigan Agricultural college East Lansing. When inspection of the samples has been made a report is forwarded to farmers by the department, informing them as to whether the seed is safe for planting. _ There is plenty of good seed in Mich- II IW"o?rdT is, , alc, e^or1d;i4nEgly! fbeei*nngt 0se'n*t• "ea*t? t• o '*«>." dccUre, Dr. G.

Note: Since the lesson committee/ haa suggested the birth of Jesus, <% Christmas lesson, as an alternative feat this day, doubtless for most classes It will be desirable to use the Christmas lesson and substitute the alternative lesson for the review on December 29* The birth of the Saviour occurred at a most propitious time. The need was great, for the system a of morals and religion were tottering upon their foundation?. It was also a time of great opportunity, for the whole world was under one rule, making it possible for evangelists to go from city to city and country to country without fear or molestation. The place of his blrtb: was Bethlehem, as the prophet had foretold some seven hundred years before (Micah 5:2). God permitted the emperor to enforce a decree of taxation Just at the time to cause Mary to be at Bethlehem when she gave birth to the Saviour. That which the Word of God haa announced shall most surely come to pass, though its fulfillment seem most unlikely and "unreasonable. The surroundings of his birth were the most humble sort. The Almighty Creator condescended to take upon himself humanity—to be born in a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be hindered from coming to him. 1. The Saviour's Birth Announced (2:8-14). 1. To Whom—Shepherds (v. 8). Ia the first Christmas service the audience was composed of humble shepherds. The glorious gospel messagewas first sounded forth to these humble men while watching over their flocks by night. Poverty Is no barrier to the reception of the gospel message. God does not reveal himself mainly tc* the princes and great men of the earth. "Hath not God chosen the poor of thla world, rich In faith and heirs of the. kingdom?" (James 2:5). Neither didi their, devotion to their calling exclude them from this greatest favor of God. Moses, Gideon, Amos and Elisha were# called by the Lord from the busy activities of life. He never calls theidle. The Lord has no use for a lazy man. The working man is God's peculiar interest 2. By Whom—The Angel of the Lord! (v. 9). The first gospel sermon waa delivered by the angel of the Lord. Angels, the exalted ministers of God are Interested in men (Hebrews 1:14)-, and this one announced unto men God's plan of salvation. These beings no doubt sincerely sympathized with poor, sin-cursed, fallen men. 3. The Message—Good Tidings (v* 10). (1) A Saviour is born. Surely this was a gladsome message. Heath* en darkness which had so long cursed the earth was beginning to vanish* The casting out of Satan, the prince of the world, was .about to take place (John 12:31). Liberty was about to be proclaimed to those in bondage t o sin. The way of salvation was about to be opened to all. So glorious waa this news that a multitude of the lieae> enly host accompanied this announcement with their song of praise, -if- is through Jesus Christ that Go^S kittdness and good will are made known to> man. (2) Peace (v. 14). Peace wt*!i God—peace of heart—peace with man. How incongruous this message with our time! The world war was the NK suit of not receiving this blessed sage. (3) Joy (v. 1 0 ) / t h e message is a Joyful message because 1 frees from sin and removes all theT burdens of this world. It.

Be forgot everything. Waving sword, he burled himself into the eking ranks. They gave, and with *#y|heer the defenders swept on into -tJre main street, Mark leading them. How he fought that day he never knew; long afterward he would see Tlslona of It In sleep, and battle pictures that forever eluded his waking -consciousness. Round the little vll- -from unexpected places, hideous death traps caught the unwary and venturesome, sometimes a street was filled Tvith a jostling mob, too pucked to use "their steel, tearing at one another with fists and teeth. There was no order, and the command fell to him who lage, the key to the day's fortunes, the tide ebbed and flowed. Company after -company came up ou either side. Now -advancing, now driven back, the Americans fought from street to street and back again. -Machine guns opened fire*| seized It. Through all that nightmare Mark fought at the head *f his company, looking like a madman, as they said of him afterward. When he came to himself at last he found himself, unwounded, save for his bleeding arm, from which the bandage had long since -fallen, and in command of a battalion. They had driven the Germans from the last house of the village. The delay had saved the day. The reserves Tiad come pouring in. On the ridge beyond the enemy was marshaling for a last counter-attack. Mark looked about him. Lieutenants, •captains who should have commanded -companies, mingled with privates and noncoms, were following, as if hypnotized, this middle-aged private with the red cross on his arm. As Mark looked tils heart swelled with the consciousness and pride of leadership. And, at his glance, a roar went up that was caught up from man to man and sent -echoing into the distance. And Mark was swept away with unconquerable enthusiasm. It was his <Iay, the day of which every soldier •dreams. "Come along, boys! Break them up!" he shouted, and ran forward. With one resounding cheer the lines flwept after him. A ripple of mnchlnegun fire caught them, but could not hold them. Over the fallen they pressed on, cries of triumph upon their lips, the faces, set above the gleamlug bayonets, animated by a single purpose. And now they were upon them. Mark fought In the bloody swirl. Blades thrust at him, bullets tore his tattered uniform. Once he was down, and he saw a giant rush at him with •clubbed rifle. He raised his arm, he tried to drive with his sword, lunsed and missed. Then the uplifted rifle fell harmlessly beside him, and the Slant fell forward, dead, over him, pinning him to the ground, and covering him with his blood. A bayonet thrust t a d passed clean through his body. -And* booking up bewildered, Mark thought he saw Hartley's face look Into his own. Next moment Mark was on his feet again, and Hartley had vanished. But already the last tussle was over. The iSennans broke and fled. Mark -stood still, gasping. The men wore crowding all about him, waving their helmets on bayonet points, cheering him, shaking his hand. Across the field two mounted men were riding. They came up to the ridge, and one, a •hatred old officer, leaped to the and wrung Mark's hand, ftanks—our country's thanks to r* he cried.

Even as he kissed her in return he saw the startled glance that she cast behind her, and, following it with his eyes, he saw a tall figure in uniform emerge from the recesses of the orifice; and again he stood face to face with Kellerman. Eleanor released him and stood, still clinging to him, at his side, her hand drawn through his arm. The contrast between the two men was extraordinary. Kellerman looked as if he had just stepped Into his uniform; his gloved hands, his adjusted belt, the creases in his tunic were those of the fashion-plate. Looking at Mark, he saw a dirty, grimed, almost unrecognizable figure, with uniform that hung about him in great tatters, blotched and stained with blood. "You said he would not come backV* cried Eleanor. "You see he has come back. What have you to say more?" "You misunderstood me, Eleanor—" "I understand you now for the first time in my life. I liked you, Major Kellerman. I trusted you and 1 believed in you. When you told me that you were working to get Captain Wallace his recognition I was glad, and proud of you both, and happy. What did you do?" "What did he do?" cried Kellerman furiously. "Why "should you believe evil things of me, because he said them—" "He never spoke one word against you!" "When the decision has already been made by an impartial court, anxious to clear a soldier's character, if that were possible?" "Because I have a woman's instinct, Major Kellerman." "Enough of this," Interposed Mark. "What are you doing here, sir?" He snapped the last word out in irony so bitter that Kellerman winced. "So you've cheated the firing party, Private Weston \u he said, with his habitual sneer. "O, call me Mark while you're about it," answered Wallace. "Or please remember that I am no longer under your command, nor a soldier in the American army. Technically I am a dead man, Major Kellerman, and dead men—" "Tell no tales, eh?" responded Kellerman savagely. "Well, here we stand man to man, and the conditions warrant phtln speaking. It is not my business to place you under arrest. But, If I do so, you are aware that your life will be worth about five minutes' purchase. So go, Mr. Weston, or Wallace, or whatever you call yourself now. Go —if Miss Eleanor here soys tire one word that will set you free. Go—and in this confusion you will have a reasonable chance to escape, with those ready wits of yours." "The one word?" Eleanor gasped. "The one word 'yes'," responded Kellerman. "I will never become your wife, Major Kellerman." MSo you told me the other day, after leading we to suppose that it was your intention," answered Kellerman easily. "Stop, Mr. Weston, if you please, and let me finish. War doesn't leave much sentimentality in a man. We know what life is worth, and we know that life's a matter of bargaining. When we were in America I might have accepted my dismissal, Eleanor. But here we three stand under the naked heaven, like ants on a hill. All artificial distinctions have fallen away. Fve loved you for many months, Eleanor, and I want to marry yon. That's the bald truth of if. In order to persnade you, I am willing to let this gentleman escape— to facilitate his escape, even to make our marriage dependent on my success. That's fair, isn't it? And, what have you against met Is i t my fault that he was court-martialed and sentenced to death for striking an officer?" The man's effrontery took Mark's breath away. "My answer," responded Eleanor steadily, "is •no/ And even if you could send him to his death it would still be •no.* Because he himself would wish that But you can't barm him. Something convinces me that all the harm that baa come to him baa come from you. And it telle me, too, that your power baa ended. *No,'is my answer," -And youre, Mr. Westonr asked Kettermaa, looking at Mark. Marie, aaabte to reply, pointed toward the ojptaaeg of the racen.

It was that, I believe, which made you think it your duty to follow your adopted father's unit to the front. I think you ought to know who you are. Your father died on the battlefield of Santiago. He was a fugitive from Justice. He was the notorious Hampton." Mark uttered a cry. He sprang toward Kellerman, but Kellerman dealt him a blow that sent him stumbling among the bricks. "That's a He, Kellerman!" said Colonel Howard quietly. The old Colonel's eyes were wide open. He laid his hands laboriously upon the edge of the brlcfc wall and, with a great effort, raised himself to his feet. "That's a He," he repeated "It is no lie, Colonel Howard. You told the whole story to Captain Wallace in the hospital tent. Never mind how I know. I know." "You damned, dirty spy 1" said the old Colonel. "A confession," answered Kellerman blandly. "Your words were strong ones, Colonel Howard. Deny them if you can. You said, 'A thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime.' You said 'it was calculated, coldblooded deliberation.' You said, 'The case against Hampton was absolutely prpven. He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago. He was born rotten. He sold his country to pay his gambling debts.' And you called him by the worst name one man can call another. That was why you tried to persuade Mark Wallace not to adopt Hampton's child. Like father, like daughter." He swung round upon Eleanor, and for the first time seemed to lose his self-control. "That's who you are!" he cried. "The child of a wretched traitor, who worked in the war department with Colonel Swept on Into the Main Street, Mark Leading Them. Howard and me, a man without honor, entangled with a wretched woman spy, who sold our secrets. And that man— your adopted father, whom you love and revere, spied on him in turn, watched him, read his letters, went through his pockets, snared him, trapped him, brought him to his dete& e—and adopted you." Eleanor staggered toward the Colonel, her arras raised imploringly, and cried for a choking voice: "Say It's untrue 1 Only say that It's untrue!" I t ' s a damned lie," said the Colonel; but there was not the least conviction fh hie voice. •Tell me the truth V* "It's true, then—it's more or 1 true," said Howard wearily. "It's not t r u e r shouted Mark. "Remember, Colonel, the man*f face had been practically blown away. How do we know that It w a s Hampton who was with the child?

"Tell me what you think, Cuptain Mark," she pleaded. And once more Mark was mute. She read his face as if by inches. She turned toward Kellerman. "Now will you go?" she asked. Kellerman saluted her with mock formality. "I'll go," he said, "but he's spent his chance. A spy's daughter and a spy's—" The ambulance bearers appeared at the entrance to the recess. They bore a stretcher. Propped up in it, swathed in a bloody clout of bandages, wus Hartley. "There he Is!" he cried, pointing his hand in triumph. "I knew he'd come this way. He's here, sir 1" he cried to some one outside the orifice. The stretcher bearers set down their burden on a ledge of the wall. Into the little place strode the General. His appearance there exercised a parading effect upon ihem all. Kel- Jerman was the first to recover his selfpossession. He saluted stiffly, "This man," he said, pointing to Mark, "is the prisoner who was to have been executed this morning." The General, without a word, strode toward Mark and clasped him by the hand. Ketyerman gulped and moved toward the entrance for the last time. The General turned. "Halt, sir!" he commanded. "Colonel Howard, will you have the goodness to go to the man on the—why, I beg your pardon, Colonel! Not badly hurt?" "Nothing much, sir," answered the Colonel, attempting to make the passage. The General gave him his arm and assisted him, and, when he stood still, placed one arm about him to steady him. "Do you recognize that man?" he asked. The Colonel stiffened; Kellerman fell back against the wall. "As I'm a living man," cried Colo< nel Howard, "it's Hampton !" C H A P T E R X V I I . Hartley sat up on the stretcher and fixed his eyes on Howard's face. It was evident that he was desperately wounded. One of the orderlies kneeled beside him and held him. "This man." said the General, chewing at his mustache in emotion which he could not altogether hide, "was once an oflieer in the service of our country. He was engaged in confidential work in the war department. lie was accused of espionage—unjustly accused." With a low cry Eleanor rushed forward and kneeled beside the stricken man; she placed her arms about him and drew his head down upon her shoulder, looking piteously into the weary eyes. Hampton raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. "Unjustly accused," repeated the General. "Major Kellerman, stand to attention, sir! You shall be heard later. He was the victim of the System, which was even then laying its plans In Washington, He was the victim of a woman named Marsheim— Hilda Morsheim, whose activities were well known, though we could then do nothing to counteract them. She made a specialty of luring young officers into gambling dens, winning lqjge sums from them, and thus leading them down the slope toward disgrace and death. "She had a confederate who was highly placed in the war department. When, by their united. efforts, they failed to make a traitor of Captain Hampton, they compassed his ruin. How they did so I need not describe now, The facts are of record; It is enough to say that they succeeded. Hampton*was driven into exile; but they were not satisfied with that. They broke his career, they drove him from the company of all decent men. But that was not enough. They broke bis wife's heart; she died. They made his name one of execration. Still they were not satisfied. With devilish in* genuity they sought to cover their tracks by making it appear that Hampton was stilt carrying on his trade, still selling government secrets.

As the army and navy were the will of the nation mobilized for victory in war. so is the Red Cross the soul of the nation mobilized far sendee in poace. Even after the formal terms of peace are signed it will take months, even yc»rs, for our present work to be completed. The sober task of withdrawal cannot keep pace with the tense strain of the accomplishment when first we rushed our mighty army Mross the water to save the liberty of the world. We have two and a quarter millions of men oversea*, flung there with undreamed of speed. It will take three times as long to bring them bock. So long as one regiment remains, the Red Cross, as always, WILL STAND BY. All over our land there are soldiers' homes in need of information, of counsol. of sympathy and comfort Until the boys come home, until all these families are reunited, the Red Cross. as usual, WILL STAND BY. On a hundred hard-fought fields there are heroes' graves to be identified, marked and honored1—and here at home are thousands of hearts to be comforted by the knowledge of where -their loved ones are sleeping. So long as sorrow comes into these homes, the Red Gross, as ever, WILL STAND BT.

One of the points of strength in America's agricultural organization has been found during the war to be central organizations of farmers to plan and develop the best methods of fanning for their region. That these alike, and acting as a clearing house for every other association interested in work with rural people.

Supporting County Agent Work. The county organizations, known as county councils, county bureaus of agriculture, or farm bureaus, often employ a county and a home demonstration agent and aid them rn their work. They usually are composed of farmerg and others in the county interested In agriculture. At present there are more than 1,000,000 farmers who are members of organizations assisting the county agent ia his work. In the South.

Times without number, wells have been sunk to great depths In the belief that eventually a plentiful supply would be reached, only to find that water was not there, or that it was unfit for use, or that a mere hole or sump had been created which served but to drain water from relatively near the surface. There is no short cut and no better guide in this matter than information as to the kind, thickness, porosity, and dip of the strata of the region and of the results obtained in neighboring wells, study of the land slopes and character of the vegetation, and examination for evidences of seeps and springs.

The elusive coin still remained where it was—upon the floor. He made a second attempt to get hold of it, but with the same result. Then, just as he was contemplating the wisdom of a third endeavor, a salesman came up to him and said: VGood evening, s i r ! May I be allowed to show you a bottle of our fa-r mous liquid glue?

Waistlines Are Capricious; Sleeves of Various Styles; Supply of Silk Is Wondrous; Woolens Limited. Everywhere one sees new clothes. At first glance they seem quite like the mode of yesterday—and one resolves with firmness to wear the things left over. One looks again, relates a writer in Harper's Bazar, and discovers a difference which lies not in the outlines but in a host of clever, artfully planned details—and one's resolution flies on wings. ID style all frocks are slim and simple— or at least they give that Impression. The skirts are of the well-known "hobble" type, but they have all the delights and one of the regrets of the hobble we used to struggle with so valiantly. Instead of the uncomfortably close confines of other days, the new skirts are so skillfully folded and draped that though the slender lines are scrupulously maintained, the wearer has plenty of room in which to brave the curbstones! Waistlines are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with their length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal. -Of girdles there are a-plenty. If one would have the swathing kind ;—nnd one surely will—remember that it begins at the normal waistline and is draped to give the effect of a long, slender waist. Sleeves, always a law unto themselves, are long and tight at times, again only three-quarters. Some are drnped and some are "bells;" some are banded with fur and some with heavy material. Though the straight neckline is still much liked, distinctive col- GOWN FOR AFTERNOON WEAR NOVEL SKATING SET OF SILK This Is a decidedly novel and smartlooking skating set of smoke-gray silk duvetyn with a cross bar design of navy chenille.

And never were there such wondrous silken stuffs.! Wools there are—rough homespuns, duvetyns, velours and jerseys—for suits and wraps that one may wear without a qualm, for the materials were manufactured and purchased long before there was any question of conservation. The supply, of course, is limited, and the tariff proportionately high. AMONG NEW VEILS AND HATS Close Face Covering Is Invariably Worn by Majority of Well- Dressed American Women. Volumes could be written about the veil of the well-dressed American woman of today. Without the invariable close veil she never ventures abroad in the daylight hours. One sees scarcely three smart flowing veils—If, of course, one excepts the motor veil— during the entire season. All the possibilities of a veil are only realized by one who has experimented with various kinds and colors. It was to the veil that accompanied it that might be ascribed much of the effectiveness of the little hat of henna-brown satin recently seen, says Vogue. A wisp of darker brown feathers shot almost directly back from the left side of the brim, and a dark-brown tracery veil gave wonderful tints to the wearer's delicately bronzed skin. A sable cape thrown over the shoulders completed this harmony of warm brown. There is a distinct predominance of small hats in the smart autumn millinery. Satin, velvet and beaver are among the most popular materials, and these assume soft dark tones, such as dull blue, gray, taupe and brown. The new henna brown, which is a shade bordering on terra cotta, while consider ably in evidence In autumn costumes, has not to any Important degree invaded the field of millinery.

Fow art Quilted Velvet on Hats. Quilted velvet is used for both crown and brim of some of tho autumn hats. One specially effective hat, of taupe valour, Is made in a modified tricorne shape, with the three-sided brim only slightly rolled up. A third of the brim is of heavily quilted and paoied velvet, and a wing is fastened dat against the upper aide of the brim just at the edge of the quilted part. Smocking and shirring, as well as quilting and padding* are used In other new models. The hats so treated are usually rather large, soft shapes. the sake of shape and for decorative ness. * Another remedy for the harsh crown difficulty, and one almost nniversa 11 j becoming, Is to replace half the std* of the crown and the lid with th« more yieldy material.

FOUND WHAT CHARM NEEDED <**im. Magician Finally Discovered Just What Was Lacking in Magic That insured Happiness. An old legend tells of a magician who claimed that he had found how to make a charm to insure happiness. Then as pupils flocked to him he set them to making a small lnosakor picture out of various tiny colored stones. Bach stone represented a single one of the elements that muke up happiness. When the mosaicwas done it was to be a charm that woiild insure happiness for all the rest of Ufe. But, alas! though the mosaic was put together ever so carefully, it did not work as he had planned. One after another his pupils left him in ^ a p - pointment, their faces as sad, their hearts as heavy, as when they came. "It must work!" sighed the magiclan. "I have studied the rules until I know I am right. I have just the right proportion of good -health, success, wealth, education, leisure and all the other things needed." Then 'one day oaiue a new pupil, who put together the mosaic of happiness, and when it was done he took it as a gift to a friend whom he loved. And this mosaic proved to have the desired charm, for it gave happiness both to the one who made It and the one who received it. "Ah!" said the magician. "I have found now what was missing in my happiness mosaic. It can become a sure charm only when it is made for others."

Pinckney, L f v i n g s t o n C o u n t y , Michigan T h u r s d a y D e : , 1 2 , l l ) l £ Nh. 5 ) CLAIMS DAMAGES One night last August a Willow tree fell across the Dexter road near the Sigler farm. Autoists coming from the lake reported the matter to Commissioner Smith who- immediately secured hilpand removed tfte obstruction In the meanwhile, Mr. John Bruhm of Fo wlerville tried to pass the falln. tree and in some way damaged his auto top slightly. Mrs. John Bruhm now presents a bill of damages to the tuwnship board which amounts to ov er twenty dollars and includes among ocher items the cnarge ef $1.00 for washing the car. In view of the fact that the tree was blown down in .gale a of wind abou sundown and the road was cleared as Boon as possible, not later than j;30 p. m., and that this township has not yet created a fund for cleaning privately owned autos, the Putnam township board decided to disallow the claim. As Mrs. Bruhm has engaged an attorney to look after her interests in the matter it is possible a lawsuit may be the result. Honorably Discharged " t l h e following S. A. T.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS A telegram from Secretary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo. I most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make every possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the end of the year.

Please urge upon the people the continued holding of the War Savings Stamps. The fulfilment of their pledges and additional purchases as their means wil1 permit. A new series of War Savings Stamps will be placed on sale during li)l9. The series will have a maturity date of J a n u a r y 1, 1924 and will be issued practically on the same terms as the issue of 1918. The war has been won but is not paid paid for. Up to November 1. Michigan has purchased 83 per cent of h e r quota. We must buy" War Stamps. • II M i l I , i CLARENCE VANORDEN Was born in Pinckney June 3, 1875, and died in the house wherein he was born December 3, 1918. - His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Robert VanOrden, died when he was a a child.

TURN THE BOYS' THOUGHTS HOMEWARD, SAYS FOSOICK, ASKINGJO-OPERATION Washington. — (Special.) — Just before leaving for France to superintend tbe demobilization activities of those organizations which recently took part In the United War Work Campaign, Iiuymoud B. Fosdlck, Chuirmuu of the Commission on Training Camp Activities, was Interviewed with regard to the present situation of our overseas forces, , "The problem presented by the gradual demobilization of more than two million men three thousand miles from home Is one which will tax all our social resources," said Mr. Fosdick. "It Is above all a morale probi iem. and it must be faced as such, with, ! the full co-operation of families and i friends here In. this country, if it is to | be solvelTsu ccessTu 11 y.

These things express- 1 ed in letters from home will warm I their hearts and create a home atmosphere around them, even while they are aosent from the family circle. ' ,rSuch letters may "be a very necessary sheet anchor to windward in the case of some boys. The thought of some one waiting for them, rountlng on them, will, more than anything else, make them hold back and think twice before plunging into situations which might mean harm and uuhapp in ess for them. "We h:*e raised the cleanest army in the woihl. We have kepi it clean. We hope to bring it back as clean and strong as it was when it left us. But while we believe our soldiers will stand the present test—the hardest of nil in some ways—as bravely and successfully as they have stood every other test of their manhood and endurance, it is our duty to give them all the ho "This, rendered will b e . satisfyturn then accomplis ahead of }\i w e < ,;c;i t o them," an.

ALIEN ENEMIES TO BE DEPORTED Colons Churchill Saya Britannia Must Continue to Rule the Waves Nothing Can Sway Her From This 8tand. Dundee.—British representative* at the peace conference will demand general and absolute abolition of conscription throughout Europe. Winston Spencer Churchill made this announcement in a speech. David Uoyd George, British prime minister, in the election campaign in London, gave a restatement of his policy. In it he declares men responsible for the war cannot escape because their heads were crowned, but they must be tried by an international court Mr. Lloyd George also declared himself in favor of expulsion and ex. elusion of all enemy aliens. Peace Based On Stern Justice. London.—(British wireless service.) —Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the local government board and minister of national service, in a public address said the line of policy advocated by the coalition government was a peace which, so far as enemy powers were concerned, should be based en stern justice and so far as those men who planned and started the war were concerned should be founded on justice of the nature meted out in the highest courts of the land. Such men as the former German emperor, Enver Pasha and former rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would b« placed on trial and if found guilty, their lives would be forfeited. "Men guilty of unspeakable atrocities upon our prisoners and upon civilian Inhabitants of invaded lands," he continued, "must stand trial, and If they are condemned, must suffer death." It had to be proved how far commanders of submarines acted under orders, which they had to carry out under pain of death, or how far they acted on their own volition, he point ed out, but if atrocities at sea were committed on volition of individual commanders, he declared, they too, must suffer the extreme penalty. "Today is the day of reckoning for our enemies," said the minister, "and they will have to pay to the uttermost farthing what it is possible to bring out of them." Britain Wilt Rule Seas. Dundee, Scotland.—Britannia must continue to rule the waves. She will not suffer any abridgement whatsoever of her "well tried and well-deserved naval supremacy.*' No argument or appeals—no matter from what quarter—will sway her from this stand. Colonel Churchill's statement was the first positive, clear-cut and uncompromising utterance on the subject made by any member of the government since signing of the armistice. The munitions minister announced Great Britain does not intend to take back* Helgoland, Germany's "Gibraltar in the North sea," because this is unnecessary. He also announced the government's decision in favor of nationalization of railways. "We intend to make the Germans pay for harm they have done to the uttermost farthing they are capable of paying/' said Colonel Churchill Must Pay "Ton For Ton."

"LETTERS-FROM-HOME" WEEK War Department Commission Wants Soldiers' Kin to Help Maintain Morale of Army. New York,—The week of December 15 has been designated by the war department commission on training camp activities as a time for special letters to be written by mothers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts of the men now overseas. The week has been called "Letters-From- Home" week, and the purpose is to apply the "home touch" to a broadgauged military program for maintaining the morale of the men who find themselves idle after weeks of strenuous fighting. The war department hopes, through these letters, to keep the men contented, "straight,4* and ambitious to live up to the high ideals of American manhood. A model letter such as the government wants the mothers and fathers especially to write has been prepared by the war department. This, with letters from Secretary of War Baker and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission, Indorsing the plan, has been mailed to newspapers throughout the country. The letter particularly asks that the men overseas direct their attention to wholesome recreation and activities, instead of to the unwholesome influences that might result from the enforced period of idleness wherever large bodies of troops are awaiting orders to return home. WOUNDED SENT NEAR HOMES Michigan Men Will Come to Detroit and Custer Hospitals. Washington.—Plans under which all wounded men returning frbm France will go to hospitals within 300 miles of homes of their nearest relatives were announced by the war department. To this end base hospitals at training camps have been turned over to the surgeon-general providing 75 hospitals with facilities to care for 109,231 men. Fifty thousand men are expected to be sent to these institutions within the next four months. Use of the training camps will make it possible to return to their owners immediately numerous properties and buildings which were to be converted into general hospitals. Michigan men, under the war department plan, are classified in hospital group No. 10—General hospital, Detroit and base hospital, Camp Custer. THOUSANDS IN U. S. N. RELEASED Will Permit Youths to Return to Civil Pursuits, As Before War. Washington.—-Discharge of 20 per cent of the navy's wartime personnel, about 100,000 men, has been authorized. Secretary Daniels said the men would be released as quickly as possible with due regard to the convenience of the service. Private yachts, motor boats and other craft taken over by the nary for the war already are being turned back to their owners. Mr. Daniels said by February 700 crafts wilt have been stricken from the navy list. Release of enlisted men Is author, ised not because the navy Is overmanned, but to permit return to civil pursuits of youths who* Joined for the war and who do not Intend to follow the sea.

Berlin—W^iat promises to be a decisive battle for elimination of partisan politics In Soldiers' and Workmen's councils throughout Germany has been precipitated by announced determination of soldiers to insist upon party representation on all governing boards. Leaders of soldiers declare if the present virtual dictatorship system of government is to be continued they will demand equal vote with workingmen. Otherwise they insist upon immediate convocation of the national assembly. "We soldiers are fully qualified to speak for the bourgeoisie." a former non-commissioned officer said to the correspondent "The war has obliterated completly what waa once proudly called 'Germany's splendid middle classes.' We represent all callings, trades and professions. Workingmen, on the other hand, have succeeded during progress of war in creating a special social category, brought about by prosperity of labor. "The bourgeoisie Is really the proletariat. Soldiers object to being outvoted and therefore demand strict party representation in the composS tion of the Soldiers' and Workingmen's boards." " Soldiers seem thus far to have proved themselves Inferior parliamentary tacticians as compared with radical labor elements. This realization is dawning on them, and their movement designed to reform working methods of the executive committee and bring about closer communion between the two divisions promisee to furnish the first big political sensation of the revolutionary government "It Is commonly understood soldiers are anxious both wings of the German social democracy busy themselves in trying to get together on a common national platform. The existing system of a compromise government is said to have exhausted patience of soldiers. NAVY BUILDING ON WAR BASIS Secretary Daniels Asks $«00^00,000 to Be Spent In 3 Year's Construction. Washington.—America's determination to possess a nayy of constantly increasing strength and efficiency-— fully capable of preserving and maintaining its newly-won position among nations of the world—Is officially expressed by Secretary of the Navy Daniels in his annual report to the president, now made public. Notwithstanding cessation of hostilities and the approaching peace conference, Secretary Daniels strongly urges continued upbuilding of the navy, specifically asking, for authorization of another three-year construction program to cost $800,000,- 000. Asks For 156 New Ships. This tubatntially duplicates the amount appropriated in 1918, when the world war was raging and which constituted the first comprehensive building program ever authorised for the navy. The new program arranged to cover a second three-year term provides for construction of a total of 166 new vessels. Tea of these are to be battleships and six of them battle cruisers. The other 140 vessels are not specified. It Is simply asked that they be of types already approved and In existence or of new types which may develop during the life of the program, details being left to the navy department. "Ships to Equal Any Afloat" The secretary adds that new ship construction should embrace craft of every description which experience of the war has demonstrated to be necessary to the efficient sad symmetrical development of the navy. Commenting on his recommendations, he says: T h i s program, if anthorised hy congress, at I aat eoaflde&t it wOl to* will give us 16 additional capital aalBf which wffl he the osjwt of «ay afloat at the Hate the* sre> "" t o t a l ssihssjos t tor ship tion involved * * the maw a ^ n a s * n v etadJaa; armor aad sariisaioot sg •Je* • sosperB^Pe^rSSf^r! <»r ytJB? lOf -e*B&Ms\BsV .of - & : • & % LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, t CROSS, FEVERISH] HURRY, MOTHER1 REMOVE POI.

CHAPTER XIII—Continued —10— Suddenly the German uttered a ehok- &K cry and dropped, blood spurting !rom his throat, where a chance bullet lad found hlra. As he fell, Mark precipitated himself upon hlui and lay lat on the ground. The firing died away. Captain Mark began to crawl back toward the parapet of his lines. A whispered challenge, an answer, and he had scaled the sandbags ..and descended into the mud of the trench, to find the firing posts crowded and himself facing Kellerman and the company captain. Inwardly boiling, he stood still. It was too dark to see the expression on Kellerman's face, but he could imagine the sneering grin that disfigured it. "Well!" said Kellenjiau sharply. "The man you sent me to bring In was dead. He hud been -there for days." "Where are your companions?" demanded Kellermun. "Captured." "And you?" "We were attacked in the dark. I fought with my man until a bullet killed him. The others Mere taken." "And your stretcher?" asked Kellerman with a bland sneer. "I left it between the lines. Do you wish me to go back for it, sir?" "This man is lying," said Kellerman to the Captain calmly. "He abandoned his companions and ran away. He lost his stretcher. Put him under arrest." The Captain beckoned to the platoon sergeant, who came forward. "I'd like to say one thing," said Mark, striving to keep his voice steady. "We three were sent out to bring in a dead man, who had been dead for days—anyone here will beur me out in this. Wus any man wounded tonight? There was only one body in this section—" "Cut it out!" said the sergeant, laying his hand on Mark's shoulder. But Mark swung clear of him and turned and faced Kellerman ""again. "You sent me out tonight to put me out of the way !" he cried, losing all self-control. "For rensons that you know, and I know, you wanted me dead, and you were willing to send two others to their death also. You lied ro inc to put me off my guard, d n you. you treacherous dog! And here's the blow you gave, back again!" He struck Kellerman a buffet that sent him reeling back against the parapet. CHAPTER XIV, The three officers who had brought In their verdict, and the fourth, of high rank, who had passed the sentence, stood rather stiffly at the door of the little headquarters village house, watching Mark as, with hands chained, he was inarched away by two armed guards toward the Jail. When he was out of Trfght they un« bent "D-—n it!" said one. "My sentiments," answered another. "What do you think, McKlnnon?" "I don't want to think about it.H "If it had been some tough who had got roped Into the army—a gunman or that sort—but—" "Well, if the fellow's a gentleman, why did he do it? He must hove known." "And, after all, he might have been respited for the blow, bat the gross cowardice—" **I don't see that The blow was worse than the cowardice.

She pressed her lips to his. "Captain Mark I Dear Captain Murk !" she sobbed. And, holding her closely to him, and forgetting Howard's presence and everything else, Mark found his peace. Colonel Howard was trying to calm her, to assuage her frantic grief. At last he persuaded her to sit down. He took Mark by the arm as if he were a child, and placed him beside her. "Mark, my dear boy—Mark, I heard of it only five minutes ago," he said. "I ha'd to spend the night here, and Eleanor had got leave to meet me. I've just learned the outlines of it. I'm trying to get the General. Yes, yes, I know he refused this morning, but he didn't know. I'm only going to ask for a respite till I can see him personally. It will come out all right Now tell me, Mark, what happened? How did Kellerman meet you? Why did you strike him,? I don't ask about the charge of cowardice, because that Isn't worth speaking about. I'll settle that with the General—I haven't forgotten Santiago. But about that blow, Mark—how did it all happen? Tell me exactly, so that I—" It was unlike the old Colonel to gabble so fast. Perhaps he was afraid of breaking down. "Can tell the General. Now begin, Murk. Tell me from the beginning." But Mark did not open his tips. And before Colonel Howard could resume Eleanor had sprung up and faced Mark eagerly. "Now, Captain Mark, listen! If you've never listened to me before, listen now !" she ("tied. "I know you aren't going to tell the Colonel. It's "Now Capt. Mark, Listen." like you, Captain Mark. You're stubborn. You have a stupid, wicked streak of stubbornness in you that always, makes you pretend things, and always prevents you from letting the world see what a dear, good, splendid man you are. I know you through and through, though you've never known I did. You've ruined your life by your silly silences. You seem to like to be misunderstood. You like things to go wrong with you, so that you can suffer undeservingly. But it isn't he* roical of you. Captain Mark. It's stubborn and wrong, and, where others are concerned, it's criminal.

"Tell the Coto» nel, Captain, Mark, because of me," she said. "There's nothing to tell, my dear," said Mark, groping for the words that would not come. "I struck him because he—*• And he could say nothing.

Tat ho was Ignorant of the inhibitory process wounded man unnecessarily," said Mark lamely. He saw a spasm pass over Howard's face. This was worse tLun Howard could have believed. The Colonel was shaken; his faith wus strong, but he was one of those who accept the obvious. "Listen, Captain Mark!" said Eleanor, speaking as if to a baby. "That isn't what you wanted to say. You had no thought of criticizing your superior officer, even If you thought him wrong. That Isn't what you mount. Perhaps he'll tell me, father! Stand back a little. Now, whisper it, Captain Mark!" But in the shelter of Eleanor's arms Mark felt altogether at peace. What did it matter, all this of long ago? "Are you going to marry Kellerman, Eleanor?" he asked. Very softly, in the obscurity, he felt her shake her head. And the action had precisely the opposite effect of what Eleanor hud intended. For nothing mattered any more, nothing at all. He couldn't find excuses— Mark Wallace had never excused himself in his life. Eleanor drew herself out of his arms and looked at him. He looked from her face to the Colonel's. Why were they worrying him? How could he hope to saveihts life by going into the obscure details and explanations that they required of him? And what a long rigmarole, beginning back In the war department! Mark could not string a case together; his mind was not constructed In that fashion. Eleanor laid her hand on his arm. "Captain Murk—don't you see that every moment is torture to us?" she asked. There was a terrible intensity In her tone, as if she were holding herself rigidly in restraint, for fear that she would fall should she yield to her emotion. "I struck him." stammered Mark. "I toldj you why. I thought he was wrong to risk those lives—I—" The look upon each face seemed to be frozen there; it was as if tiieir lives and not Murk's, hung upon his words. ""Suddenly'a shriek pierced the sky, cutting off Mark's speech, and a shell burst somewhere by with a shattering detonation, followed by the dull boom of a distant gun. The Colonel started, and then resumed his gaze. But there came a stunning sound that seemed to split his ear-drums. He fell forward, and felt as if some one hud lifted him; looked out into darkness, sought Eleanor and knew nothing. that now» «tv *fwars, hold Msa ha But neanir cttMf to him. f-i son* * * » * a£4s-**lt * CHAPTER XV. When he slowly grew conscious It was with the glad realization that he had found her. He felt her hands, supple and warm, biudlng a bandage round his arm. He opened his eyes to see her face bent over his. And it was dawn. Vague cries rang in his ears, distant cries, blending, surging, swelling and dying,down, but never ceasing. The rattle of small-arms was continuous, and punctuated by the loud timbre of guns. He was lying amid a heap of debris that had been the village jail. Not for away he saw the Colonel sitting with eyes closed, propped up against the fragments of a wall, a blood-stained bandage round his head. "O thank God I" cried Eleanor. "Yon has* Captain badly hurl* on pass najt hear me." ""' All round them the guns were booming, all round them they saw khaki - clad Americans swarming over the fields, and yet the village seemed deserted. They were alone in a little oasis of calm amid the tumult. "What are we to d o r cried the girl. "Can you walk? Try to stand on your feet Let me help you. We must get the Colonel somewhere." The question on Mark's lips died away as there came the howl of a heavy shell, followed by a stunning impact A column of broken bricks spouted into the sir at the end of the street dissolving into a cloud of dust An Interval, and again there came a missile from the monster gun. A house In the next street went down like cardboard. It was the threatened attack on the American lines. The enemy was in force somewhere across the fields, the reserves were rushing up to repel them, Mark staffers* to his feet and found that be cooM stand. His arm ached under the bsjndago, bnt tt was act broken. Probably a splinter ted struck hif*. B P mads Ms way toward the Colonel, who eyed him vacantly »ts lie approached. "Take Eleanor to safety and leave me, Murk," he said, In a choking voice. . "I'll take you both, sir. This can't last long. Our men will be In the village in a few minutes. Or an ambulance will pass." Mark put his hands beneath the Colonel's arms and tried to lift him. As the Colonel tried to stund he collapsed forward in Murk's anus. He looked at Mark piteously. "Take her and leave me," he whispered. "And listen to me, Mark. She cares for you. All will come right, if I can keep my worthless carcass alive until I've seen the General. But I never counted on being done up like this." There were tears In the old man's eyes. "Forgive me, my boy," he muttered, and fell into unconsciousness. Mark set him down against the wall again. It was impossible to move hint, oven with Eleanor's help. Mark looked at Eleanor. "It's safest here," he said. "The village will be occupied soon. Help will come—" He broke off abruptly as another of the heavy shells dropped nearer, sending the brick fragments flying In all directions. Of a sudden tt had occurred to him that the reason wJiy the Americans did not enter the village was that it was a death-trap; Its ranges were all mapped and plotted, and the Germans were bent on Its systematic destruction. Mark stood by Eleanor in irresolution, cursing his fate. He did not know what to do. He could not leave her; and yet he felt a burning impulse to play some part in affairs. His eye, truined by long years of practice, took In the tactical situation at a glunce. The Germans must have made a prodigious thrust in the night, bursting through the center; the reserves, still rushing over the fields, were trying to 1111 and hold the gap. And the little Headquarters village was the key to the whole battlefield. Wounded men came streaming down the street, followed by the merciless shells. The aeroplane above was still circling like a hawk; it seemed Incredible that no aeroplnnp attacked It. And It was quite clear to Mark that only treachery, calculated and long planned, could have brought about the situation. For the Germans must have advanced four miles since nightfall. "Help will come—" Mark repeated; and suddenly, even above the drumlire, he could bear the sounds of cheering. And, topping the ridge that ran before the village, there came a swarm of gray-green figures, thrusting back thf; thin, scattered line that held it. Tho bullets were whirring "overhead, audible, and like a swarm of bees. Cloud* of dust rose up and hid the battle. Eleanor, clutching Mark's arm, stood tense beside him ; Mnrk saw that she understood, and the two held their breath as the dust clouds eddied along the ridge. Suddenly they dissolved, and the attacking swarm poured Hke a great Hood into the village. It looked as if all were lost.- But an Instant later Mark saw a little company of Americans thrust out a Maxim gun from behind a wall, where they had hidden It. The gunner took his seat, and, just as the ranks were closing in on hi in, swept the street from side to side. The ranks recoiled and fan, body piling on body. Then, as a torrent teres* Its way through tho tce-crnst of a river, tho attackers over* whelmosl the Majdai sect! on and swopt Into the stissts, — And, as torrent meets torrent, with a surge and a rush a body of American troops swept forward to meet them. The battle was"all about them. Every house was a fortress, every mound of bricks a rallying point. Mark raised the half-conscious Colonel in his arras and drew him into the shelter of a little hollow in the brick wall. He beckoned to Eleanor to crouch down beside him. There they were safe from flying bullets, and might hope to pass unnoticed. He still hesitated, when a body of Germans rushed, shouting, past him, upon a troop of Americans who came round a shattered corner, led by a younarofficer carrying a bloody sword. It was quick and short bayonet work. Mark saw the blades flash, heard tho panting gasps of the thrusters and the moans of the wounded. He saw the young officer stagger and fall, a bayonet through hia shoulder. The sword fell from his hand. Before the German could withdraw his weapon Mark had snatched- up ibe sword and, with a mighty blow, cloven the German's ana from'his body.

As u matter of fact, the Gorman population siops considerably short of the river Memel, the committee on public Information says. The Menu1! valley is inhabited chiefly by Lithuanians find the seaport of Memel. located at Its month, Is almost wholly u Lithuanian city. In tho middle ages tho Lithuanian race In IhK region extended up to the Vistula. Hut in the thirteenth century the Teutonic knights conquered the territory nnd started to oppress the people. Notwithstanding persecutions, attempts to Germanize the population through school and church, nnd the iroti rile of the Gorman police and officials the northern part of east Prussia still remained Llthunninn. Memel (called Klaipeda by the Lithuanians) is the natural Llthunninn outlet to the Baltic sen. The Germans could not deve'op it as, n port because there was no mainland behind It which was under German control, and only a nnrrow strip of the territory was under German sway. Tf conditions change nnd German control of Lithuania is removed, Memel should hoenme n prosperous nnd lively Llthunninn port. wMVWtnrcs OT wheal: and bap* ley so mad* as to be rich in sugar; and ready to eat •from package with milk or cr*arrv7fo4& GrapfNuts 4. • • • * 4 3ri 3! *i « * -:¾ /.''•'*'£• • * * * * • w • A '>. • - 4 - ^ - x ' #e, *?*£;.•. .''T-r>' ' * • : * • • , •«••-.» - w 7 ;•* . - S L V "* /v;v • - - . * " « " • • « * — a*; . • # • • : 1¾ r; .4¾ * ;.% . 4 ^ >.'.V ft: 1 .'-^ t. i * 3 4. ! - ^ - I < < W > I . # • • - » ' • / .

DAVID ROatntTS* CatfCMera VERY year about the middle of November a small sign appeared over the door of the Thomas cottage which bore the legend, "The Evergreen Shop." Every year during the Christmas season Ruth Thomas made hundreds of evergreen wreaths, which she sold for Christmas decorations. This was why the people of Brierly called her the evergreen girl. The day before Christmas Ruth sat in her little shop finishing the last wreath she would make that season. 'There!" she said, deftly twisting a sprig of bright red berries among the evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen Stanwood's order, and thank goodness It's done in time. Oh. dear I" she sighed, laying the wreath aside. "I do wish I coulxl spend one Christmas time enjoying myself as others do. Why, there has not been anyone here over the holidays since I can remember, and I have not been to a Christmas party in years —not since the time I went over to Dolly Blair's with Dane." A warm color suddenly glowed In the girl's cheeks and there was a soft light In her brown eyes as she thought of that memorable right. Dane Stanwood had taken her to that party. Once during the evening he caught her as she was standing under the mistletoe bough** and— At POSTPAID t m JML DAVID B O i m •tots aXL Missal sit—af. lafsfsMnsi free.

The sudden roar of a high-power automobile broke in upon Ruth's musings, and she looked out In time to see a long bluo roadster flash past the gate. The car belonged to Dane Stanwood. Shortly after the Christmas party at Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to become a mining engineer. He had written a few times to Ruth and then the letters bad stopped coming, and she had no; heard from him for nearly four years. Then, Just a month ago, he had suddenly appeared in Brierly jvlth the blue racing car. Soon it was rumored that he had made a fortune in the mines. Ths second week after his return Stanwood bought the old Blaln mansion and gave the information that he intended to move into his new home before Christmas. Next he announced that preparations were under way for a party which he was giving Christmas eve. The evergreen girl had been surprised and a little bit hurt because startled me. I thought it was your sister, and—-" "Helen has gone to Balford to meet a friend who Is to spend the holidays with us," said the young man, "so she sent me after the wreaths." He smiled down at the girl. T h i s is the evergreen shop, isn't i t f "Yes," said Ruth, forcing a smile n return. "And you are the evergreen girt?" "I believe they call me that," she answered. "Well," said Stanwood, "Sis told me to be sure and fetch you back with me when I returned." "Back with you!" echoed Ruth. "Really I—I can't go. There is so much to do here, and—" "Bosh!" laughed Dane. "Of course you will go back with me. Fact is you'll have to." He waved his hand as Ruth started to speak. "No excuses now, for I won't listen to 'em. You see," Stanwood went on, "Sis and her friend were supposed to help get things ready for the party tonight, but she telephoned just as 1 was leaving the house that the train on which her friend was to arrive is very l«te. She may not get back until nine o'clock, and the party begins at eight I told Sis I could never get things ready In time, for the decorating isn't half done. Then she happened to think of you, and I said right off that you would be just the one to help us o u t You're not going t disappoint us, are you?" very anxiously. "We-li, perhaps I can go for a little while," said Ruth. "T'd dearly love to trim that Christmas tree.". "Of course, I won' stay to the party/' she thought ns she scurried upstairs after a wrap, "so I won't see Dane's sweetheart, for of course Fhe is the one Helen is to meet at the train. And I really ought to help Dane and his sister out, for they have been sucb good customers." Dane ushered Ruth Into the hlg double parlors of his new home, wttere the Christmas tree had been placed. "Do you suppose." he asked, pointing to a great pile of evergreen at one end of the room, "we will be able to hang all these wreaths and then decorate the tree before eight o'clock?" The evergreen girl gave a merry little laugh. "I am sure we can if we work fnst.** she answered. "I nm used to this work, yon know, and with your help ft won't take long." "How long hnve you been the evergreen girl?" Dnne asked, as he and Ruth were trimming n chandelier. "This Is my third season," Ruth replied. "I found that there was a big demand for wreaths, and laurel trimming during the Christmas holidays, so three years ago I opened nn evergreen shop. I love to do this kind of work, and although the season is a short one, my little shop pnys well." The evergreen girl might hnve added that, more than this, the rush of work just at Christmas time helped her to forget the dull ache in her heart whfch was always so hard to bear during the holidays. She said nothing of this, though, but asked. Instead : "Tell me, Dane, how you have spent Christmas while you have been away. Have you been where there was much merry-making?" "For the past, three years." said Stanwood, 'Tve celebrated Christmas by working from dawn till dark. This Is the first enjoyable Christmas eve I have known since I left Brierly." "It has been a very pleasant evening for me, too," said Ruth, "and I have enjoyed It ever so much. Now well trim the Christmas tree, and then you can take me home and get back in time for the party." At half-past seven Dane surveyed the big double parlors with satisfaction. With the help of the evergreen girl he had finished the decorations and everything was in readiness for the guests, "The rooms look just as they did four years ago at Dolly Blair's Christmas tree—even the mistletoe bough." said Dane. "Don't you remember how that one hung right over our heads, as this one does now?" The evergreen girl was silent. "Had you forgotten, Ruth?" he persisted. "No," softly, "I had not forgotten."

Washington, Dec. 4.—Future plans of the American Red Cross, under which the great organization built up during the war will be devoted to peace-time relief work not only in the United States but throughout the world, was outlined in a statement issued tonight by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council. "The whole American people will be invited In the week preceding Christmas to enroll as members of the Red Cross. It is confidently believed there need be no further campaigns for Red Cross funds, but instead the annual roll call will constitute the foundation of the Red Cross. The people should, therefore, know as definitely as possible the plans of this their national humanitarian society. "Wherever our soldiers a d sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized. Nothing which we may do will be left undone, either for the men in the war zone, for those returning, for those in the camps and hospitals or for their families at home to whom will continue to be devoted the ministrations of the Red Cross home service. In this latter effort 50,000 trained Red Cross workers are now engaged at 2,500 different places throughout the land. "The problems of reconstruction, involving feeding and caring for the distressed civilian populations of Europe, are of such magnitude that necessarily they must he met very largely by the governments of our allies, with whom our own government will co-operate. "The war program of the American Red Cross will thus steadily and rapidly merge itself into a peace program. While the plans In this direction cannot be formulated specifically, In advance of the general relief program of the allied governments, the American Red Cross is nevertheless planning to develop Its permanent organization in (his country upon a scale never before contemplated In time of peace. The commissions which are now conducting the activities of the American Red CroRs in foreign countries, as well as the temporary war organization in this country, will as a matter of course ultimately merge their energies with those of the permanent organization of the Red Cross. "There may be, therefore, perfect confidence that the peace activities of the Red Cross will he conducted under able and inspiring leadership. Th<> chapters will maintain their organizations upon a scale adequate to the new demands to be made upon them. Local committees will Indeed appreciate more and more the value of having In their midst strong and efficient Red Cross chapters. The divisional organizations, with honorary and permanent staffs, will be maintained—alwayf ready for service; and national hea quarters will have a large and efficlei personnel to direct the activities of tborganization as a whole. "For the completion of its war work and for the institution of its peace program, the Red Cross is fortunately In a healthy flnnncial condition. Abundant occasion for the use of large funds of money and great quantities of garments and other supplies will continue to arise, hut it is believed that there will be no further need for Intensive campaigns for funds. The work of supplementing governmental activities, which the Red Cross will be called upon to do in ail parts of the world, will be upon a great scale, but It will call for human service rather than for large expenditures. "What the American Red Cross needs now is not so much contributions ^f money, as the continued devotion ind loyalty of its members. This is peculiarly true at this moment of transition from war to peace. Annual membership involves the payment of only one dollar. The moneys thus re* celved not only defray all the administrative expenses of the organisation, bat leave a substantial balance, which, together with all funds subscribed directly for relief, are devoted solely to that purpose. The roll call of the nation Is thus to be called at Christmas time, that through enrollment in their Red Croat the American people may a nmssage to our soldiers stilt and to the peoples of the world that we are not only merely eonfeat with seeing our arms united wtth ontaule* tn victory, hat that our abtd- 'Wpwpoee Is that the love, the sym- Removes all dandruff, stops Itching scalp and falling hair.

Some Spending Money. My brother was in command of a colored company in one of the Southern training camps when one day an enlisted man asked permission to spend Sunday in a nearby town. The captain said he might if he could show that he had enough money for his expenses and a little over, whereupon he pulled out a roll of bills and counted out $700 before the commanding officer. That astonished individual asked: "Where did you get all that money?" The man replied: "My wife thought I might need a little spending money, so she sent me a thousand dollars."

T * * H E following letter explains the reason why Foley Kidney Pills have such a widespread and constantly increasing tale. It ia written by Mrs. Cha«. Gray, 270 Sixth St., Detroit, Mich.: "I tnutt My I hare tones tuch good rciultt from Foley Kidney Pill* that I c*n aleep much better and the pain in my back and aide* U a good lot better. I have never bad the retulta from other medicine that ! have gotten from Foley Kidney PUla." Thousands of letters like the above have been received by Foley and Co. These letters tell how the writers have been benefited and helped to health. They explain the ever-growing demand for : • * * -.•Hi* The kidneys are blood niters that pick out from the blood certain waste products which would act as poisons, together with%nough water to dissolve them and waah then out ef the body. When the kidney* are out of order, these iBsevrMes are not removed from the blood and they remain to poUon the tyttem, causing backache, swollen or stiff joints, rheumatic paint andr even more eertous cumplahtta, Minor symptoms of kidney trouble are pufineaa under eyes, floating seocka, dry mouth, blUoutneM.^reakneaa, and pale, waxy dry akin. When the kidneys, give any indkettoe o/ waatosss or deras^easeiit* they should receive aid at once. rvoFaohletfyg jKthid kniedyn PeyU*la. sWtreNngnththene —kM4 aIenyv*ig aonrda tbel wadedeekr, *a—te*»*• ferrolyai ptaetr^iosryaalt etmhe iarn h4*eoc utian4e,a g, ea^oti sokneoauitah iw act-e k- ree-seefJ^ P O P S a l a B y A%.

"It was explained that It had not been possible to announce these appointments before because the number of representatives each of the chief belligerents was to send had, until a day or two ago, been under discussion." Bliss* Name a Surprise. The only surprise In the announcement was the selection of Gen. Tasker B.

For several days it had been gen* erally understood that the Republican member of the delegation would be Mr. White. That Secretary Lansing and Colonel Bouse would be the other members had been unofficially admitted. White Long In Service. Henry White, long In diplomatic service, was the American ambassador to France during President Roosevelt*s administration. His diplomatic service began In 1883, when he served for two years as secretary to the American legation at Vienna. He was trans* ferred to London In 1884 as second secretary of the American legation and in 1886 he was made secretary to the legation there, being recalled by President Cleveland In 1893. During his career he also served the government In special diplomatic capacities, representing the United States at the International conference in London, 1887-88, for the abolition of sugar bounties. He was a delegate from the United Stntes to the international conference on agriculture at Rome in 1905, and also was the American delegate to the International conference on Moroccan affairs at Algedras. From March, 1905, to March, 1907, Mr. White was the American ambassador to Italy, leaving that important post to become the ambassador to France, where he remained until December, 1909.

An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Potmd Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodigious cost The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capital wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift ft Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practically no effect on the price of meat (amounting »o only a fraction of a cent per pound). And yet the owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide lor Its expansion. These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for Swift ft Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for o vi Could any other method of financing s vital industry involve teas hardship to the people of the country?

The newspaper declarea a storm of Tehemence haa hurst against corruption in Berlin which, "it U hoped, will sweep away the dishonest rabble." The newspaper continues: "Unless resolute resistance is offered the country win be precipitated into terrible misfortune.

London.—A gigantic Prussian plot to jail the whole present German government and establish a provisional government under Field Marshal von Mackensen has been nipped in the bud by the Ebert government, the Daily Express learns form its Amsterdam correspondent. "Wire tapping" by Bbert's secret service operatives led to discovery of the plot It waa thla discovery that gave rise to report a few days ago a counter-revolution led by Influential generals, including von Arnim, had broken out. It appears the conspiracy waa frustrated in the eleventh hour. Would Set Stags For Wllhelm. The plan waa to urge the ex-kaiser to make a triumphal return to Berlin immediately after establishment of the "provisional government." The chief figures behind the plot were von Mackensen, whose possible role as a "German Kornlloff" was foreshadowed recently; General von Boehm, known as the German "retreat specialist," and General Sixt von Arnim, who commanded the Flanders army. One version is the coup was to be iprung immediately upon completion of demobilisation. Agitation was well financed, Krupps ana other munitions barons having invested large sums, since they are ehiefl/ interested in seeing autocracy return to power. Autocrats Back Conspiracy.

C—(Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza In Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pnlmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between Influenza and tuberculosis w a s recently made by Sir Arthur Newsholme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate In England. In order that the people of the United States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Public HeaTth Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of special precautions at the present time. "Experience seems to indicate," says the Sin-peon General, "(hat persons whose resistance lias been weakened by an attack of influenza, are peculiarly suseeptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with Influen/.a this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis," One Million Consumptives in the United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace?" was asked. "In my opinion it Is, though I hasten to add It is distinctly one against which the, people Just think of a single gigantic train of freight cars, extending from Portland, Me., through Boston, along t h e Shore line to New York, across Hell Gate bridge and through the Pennsylvania tunnels, south past Philadelphia and across the great bridge of Susquehanna, and on through' Baltimore to Washington—a single train of freight cars, with every foot of track space occupied. Or think of the train as extending from Chicago east, on any of the main trunk lines, and extending a s far a s Buffalo and the Falls, or east of Pittsburgh past the famous Horseshoe curve, to Johnstown, Pa. When you think of this you will have some faint idea of what wartime car saving means, when expressed In terms of results accomplished by a single industry. Before the great war America w a s prodigal of her freight space a s of everything else. She used freight cars lavishly, and in some places, on some lines, carload units became as small a s twelve or fifteen tons. With this small unit of carloading, dealer's storages all over the country were built to accommodate a minimum carloud. So It happened that there was much waste year after year, because the freight loading units were on the basis of track capacity and engine power of 1870, instead of 1918. The fertilizer industry In endeavoring to co-operate with the government, last year undertook to ship only in full carloads, or as nearly full carloads as the conditions of the trade permitted. This entailed a tremendous amount of work, as does anything which goes against long established custom and practice. The manufacturers had to "sell" the Idea to their salesmen; the salesmen had to pass it on to their dealers and agents; and the dealer and agents had to convince their customers— the fertilizer consumers the country over—that it w a s necessary for them to co-operate in the movement. Customers had t o order early, s o that dealers could make up orders for a full carload, with the understanding that some of the customers would haul directly from the car, and thus help relieve congestion In the dealer's storage. Dealers had to receive cars as soon as they could he sent from the factory, instead of waiting, a s they sometimes have done In the past, until .iust before planting season. Manufacturers had to support this in all ways can guard. So far as one ran estimate possible, but mainly by giving prefer there are at present about one million (.,K.P i n those deales^ who actually did " " ~ *" ' '" '"" " " T'~ ' ' order early and in full carloads. •sojg s>iuoft 'A PVJI'^ ' 's-rnox "8J[o;;paio jno gsudans £BUU 'oxtn ut ' a ^ ; a q i os 'sn asudjns pus MOU ;i 9HJ*s }0u £q& -sniq ano ;aaui 0¾ qs«o aq} paau 3M 68 'aouo ; B sjunoooB Qipeja 11¾ jo ;uatnar*}ae ffn; B uo }sisui %mm a * } « q j izvj. atr; 0¾ uoflua^e jno£ [i«o o} ( £ « M siqj ui) ajissp a ^ i 30IXO K HUNTERS NOTICE Hunters and trappers are hereby notified to keep off4 The BirkettFarm" a t Portage Lake.

If these* proportions hold true for the United, States as a whole they would indicate tlint about one in every hundred persons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do The results of this industrial co-operation have been wonderful. The I previous year the average carload of j fertilizer had been about 20 tons—only { half of the car occupied. Last year this average was raised to over 30 tons per acre, with the net. result that ' the equivalent of more than 87,000 car j trips were saved. This number of I car trips was set free for other uses, | for transportation of munitions of war, i for the carrying of wheat and other | foods from the grent granary of the j middle West to the seaboard states, j for the transport of coal to the frost- j hound cities of the North. j What was done in the fertilizer In- 1 dustry last year must be done again ' this year. Other Industries must also i follow the same plan. Lime, feed. , fertilizers, all sorts of materials must , be shipped in full carloads.

PRESCOTT MOONEY'S SENTENCE COMMUTED TO "LIFE* MUST CONSERVE FOOD TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES EVERYWHERE United 8Utes Food Administration Haa Named Week of December 1-7 Aa A Nation-Wide Conservation Week For World Relief. Lansing.—"The signing of the peace treaty will not Immediately, or for •everal months at-leaat," Bald Food Administrator G. A. Prescott of Michigan, "bring about an end of food regulation In the United States. Even thenn," he said, "It is provided by the Food Control act that 'any ofTense committed and all penalties, forfeitures, or liabilities incurred prior to •uch termination may be prosecuted or punished in the same manner and with the same effect as if this Act had not been terminated.' Nevertheless, I greatly fear that the coining winter will see worldwide hardships, and the regulation of food and the demands upon America as a Christian and humane nation will be greater than ever before during the next eight or ten months.

"For the purpose of bringing before ihe people in a forcible manner the need for saving food and sharing it with the Allies and the liberated nations, the United States Food Administration named December 1-7 as a nation-wide 'Conservation Week for World Relief and a stirring program of education and enthusiasm was carried out simultaneously throughout the country. "On Sunday, December 1st, a personal message from Mr. Hoover was read from all pulpits In churches of all denominations. Wednesday, was the central feature of a patriotic program in all the women's clubs of the country, the meetings being open to all women whether club members or not. On Friday, December 6th, special patriotic exercises was held In all the public schools of the United States and a special message from Mr. Hoover to the boys and girls of America was the central feature of the program. Throughout the entire week meetings and rallies were held, and efforts of war workers being centered upon the task of waking the public to an alert realization of the after-war need for greater conservation than ever. "Wiping out the regulations in the face of our tremlendous pledges", Mr. Prescott continued, "puts the responsibility for food saving directly up to the individual and is the supreme test of America's democra/ry. If the more complete voluntary program threatens to fall, the restrictions will be just as quickly restored as they are now being rescinded. Mr. Hoover pledged the allies last summer the United States would furnish seventeen and a half million tons of food; for them not to worry if the United States didn't have the supplies, we would get them—a promise backed by the moral, patriotic and official power and honor of this great nation. The sweetness of victory and and the official relaxation, made necessary along certain lines to take care of immediate surpluses, is rather psychologically opposed to the appeal of this nation-wide relief week; but the exact reverse is too true. The armistice marks the real end of fighting, but it brings down upon us the greatest problems in our national Ufa. " • world conscience in place of a war conscience must be developed aureag the) people and the food COBservatfcm program from now on must be urorid relief and to this end we •mall direct oar vast resources. There e t t s t i o let-up la our efforts to-aupply tft* needs of a starving world ajsi there must be so leniency toward the food gambler who seeks to from the hung*- of destitute mad children. We moat be vigliaat by reason at the feet that we mow face a very natural condemned tier at the state prison here, and will be--put to work In a prison foundry at his trade of Iron molder. Food Control Act la still in force and that our regulations, so far as they are not modified must be obeyed. "From time to time the Food Administration of Michigan under instructions from Washington, will make appeals to the people of this state for the saving of food, which sime of them may think are unnecessary. I want to respectfully say to the people of Michigan that we Intend to ask nothing that is not necessary if we meet the demands of humanity. This Is a great opportunity for the American people to lead the world in the spirit of charity, and In the true spirit of democrary. By denying ourselves now and by extending generous aid to those who suffer, we will do more to make permanent world peace and to make permanent conditions of fraternity among all nations than if we maintained a mighty army and won a hundred battles. "The privilege and honor of patriotic service under the stimulous and exaltation of the great crisis—which has been ours—imposes upon us all the obligation to continue as & private in the great American food army until given an honorable discharge by our distinguished leader, Mr. Herbert Hoover." London.—The Vienna government intends to bring to trial all persons responsible for the war, including Count Be rent old, Austin-Hungarian foreign minister when the war broke out, and Count Csernln, foreign minister at a later period, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. Former Emperor Charles, Austrian grand dukes and a number of generals are also to be tried, according to these advices. Investigation into War Responsibility. Berlin.—The German-Austrian national council is negotiating with the Hungarian and Czech governments to secure their cooperation in publication of diplomatic pre-war documents and in an investigation into responsibility for and conduct of the war,^ the Vienna correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung reports. Recent revelations, he says, show former Emperor Charles had secretly drawn 1,500,000 crowns on the army account. Charges involving Archduke Frederick and other high officers in connection with army contracts are also to be looked Into. The diplomatic Investigation will be directed chiefly against Count Berchtold, who was Austro-Hungarlan foreign minister when war broke out, and Count Czernin, later occupant of that portfolio, the latter be: ing accused of summarily rejecting alleged American peace proposals in the fall of 1917 and at the beginning of the present year. The statement made In the Bavarian disclosures to the effect the late Count Tisza, then Hungarian premier, was opposed to the hostile tone of Serbia, is said to conform with facts. the Austro-Hungarlan ultimatum to Count Stuergkh, Austrian premier, is represented as having proceeded in the manner of a ruthless dictator.

Ada Kenson turned and ran toward Mark with a scream. She did not recognize him, Mark could see that The discipline of a lifetime held Mark steady: He stood confronting Kellerman, bat did not raise a hand even to guard himself. Kellerman glared at him in speechless fury. And even then It seemed a little singular to Hark that Hartley disappeared, so swiftly and silently that neither the man nor the woman knew he had been there. Then Kellerman burst into hysterical laughter. **It's the spy from the war department," he cried. "The fellow we pitched out of the army for treachery, masquerading here in uniform. A blank wall and a firing squad for you tomorrow, my man !" Ada Kenson sprang between them. "He doesn't mean that!" she cried, peering into Mark's face dubiously. She recognized Mark now, but Mark conld see that the recognition meant little to her; probably he had been only a trivial incident in her career. "Listen to me!" she whispered in Mark's ear. "He has been drinking. It will be all right. Just go back and keep this to yourself. You'll get a fiftydollar bill by the next post, and ten every month afterward, so long as you don't see anything. Understand? He lsn*t responsible—M Mark turned away in disgust, but he Imagined the warped mind that caught at this Lope of secrecy. „ He went back into the kitchen. The soldiers were still there, one or two hailed him; the incident had occupied only ten minutes. Annette made a little mouth at him from the doorway. But Mark was searching in the room for Hartley. "Your friend went home, I think, monsieur le sold at," said Annette in banter. Mark strode out of the inn without a word. Hartley's disappearance did not disturb him. Hartley was strange; but he felt that he had relied too much on Hartley. It was for him to act. He would go to the Major in charge of the hospital, tell his story, and do the only thing possible. He had no doubt any longer that Kellerman and the Kenson woman were partners in a far-reaching conspiracy against his country, though he had never before allowed himself to accept the obvious deductions from the Washington episode. His mind moved slowly. His purpose had been to redeem himself, he had thought Hartley obsessed; now he meant to reveal everything. And suddenly, out of the mist of years, he recalled Colonel Howard's story of Hampton. Kellerman had been the chief agent in Hampton's tragic fall. Suppose Hampton had been Innocent! Suppose that Eleanor's father had been a brave and loyal man, whose hideous ruin and abominable death might be posthumously •Indicated? , The blood rushed to his head at the thought of It. The burden of the knowledge of her father's shame, and of Its probable effect on her If ever she learned had weighed heavily upon Mark's heart since that night In the tent In Cuba. Then the blood receded, leaving him as cold as a atone. For he recalled Ada Keoson's words to Kellerman. So the hunter waa hard upon the quarry— perhaps he had already snared her. Ifceanor had liked Kellerman. He forced back his thoughts, strode staUgat to barracks and turned in. CHAPTIR XII. And he slept, though he had not expected to dose his eyes that night Be slept as soundly ss his comrades, rwnkenlng, as was his habit, a few minutes before raxsttte, with a mind Singmlarly clarified by sleep. He would ask to parade before bis commanding •fleer In the morning and state the tacts, leaving the rest to fate. He was not destined to, for the same corporal who bad pot him on duty daring his pcevlons afternoon "off" called can leave tfeesn buttons, Wes- ,T be said with a grin. "Ton wont s* fsssss 'ess where you're fetag. yon at ****** . r (Copyright, by W. Q. major. "And have your kit packed in twenty minutes. You and Hartley are going up to the front" The senior captain temporarily commanding the detachment unbent from the official air which he was trying terribly hard to assume. "You were specially asked for from headquarters," he said, "with another man; and I'm sending Hartley be* cause he's your friend. They want two more "men for the stretcher bearers' company. We'll be sorry to lose you, Weston." Mark saluted and went, out Just as Hartley appeared at the door. The sergeant major enlightened Hartley briefly. "You must have some pull at headquarters, Weston," he said. "Do you know Major Kellerman?" "A little, sir," answered Mark grimly. "Well, be seems to know all about you, and he told the O. C. over the telephone that he must have you. He'll be your O. C. now for a while, so things ought to run smoothly for you." "He's not a doctor, sir." "No. but the stretcher bearers aren't a medical corps; they're attached to the —th." Mark hurried away. In the barrack room, at breakfast, the two were the subject of mingled jests and congratulations. The stretcher bearers, forming, as It were, the last supports of the Infantry, shared with them the great proportion of casualties. Kellerman's scheme was perfectly clear to Mark. He was in a wretched state of mind when the car steamed into the depot at the end of the narrow-gauge line. He descended into a city, a mushroom city of the supply and transportation department A sergeant and corporal, with nine or ten men of the stretcher bearers' company, were waiting for the two. The little troop was returning to the trenches after five days of relief at a rest camp. "You're the two men from the base hospital?" asked the sergeant "All right! Fall In. Right turn! Quick march!" They moved away down a slope and began to pick their way along the beginning of a maze of trenches. The roar of guns, which had never ceased by night or day, and had long ceased to be noticeable, was louder now. Suddenly the sergeant stopped. "There was ten of you," he said to the corporal. "AH here," responded the corporal. The sergeant turned to Mark. "Where's your mate?" he asked. Mark, who had been plodding along under the impression that Hartley was following, turned round, to find that he was the last of the party. Hartley was nowhere to be seen. The sergeant ran back a few paces, to return breathless and red in the face. "He's gone, the silly fool!" he spluttered.' "Must have taken the wrong turn at the bend. Go back and get him F* But Hartley was not at the bend. The sergeant joined Mark, Incredulous, They scrambled up the bank and scanned the level road. There was no pedestrian In sight "He's taken the wrong torn somewhere," insisted the sergeant "Come along with met We've got to find hlmr They began doubling back, shouting, until they reached the end of the trench system. Still Hartley could not be found. "If he alnt on band HI be broke,** the sergeant grumbled. "And TO break his head for him. Ton medical corps chaps* are like a bunch of babies. Ought to have a nurse and baby carriage for each of you." Reluctantly he abandoned the search and they rejoined the others. The sergeant la an ugly mood, ordered them sharply onward, but could not resist casting occasional looks back to sea If the missing man was coming. However, at last he resigned himself to what seemed Inevitable, The trssVch widened Into a deep, wMe. parallel one extending In sigxags to right and left of them. A large dugout or as nearly as possflls so, by a roof of ana cerrugsvea scese, vore me s s s the dear. berof teation, watching Kellerman's eyes wander over him appraislngly. "Orderly, where's the man who came with you?" inquired the Captain briskly. "He disappeared on the way up, sir," answered Mark. "What do you mean by disappeared? Did yon see him go back? Or was he with you one minute and gone the nextr "I thought he was behind me, sir. I didn't see him go, or know anything about It" The Captain, who had been holding the receiver of his telephone, and evidently waiting for his connection, got it Mark heard him sending out a general notice of the absent man. He gave his number, and the name "Harley." No doubt he had mistaken Jt as he received It by telephone from the hospital that morning. "You'll parade before me tomorrow morning," said Captain Keyes to the sergeant. "Till then you are under open arrest." The sergeant saluted. "Right turn!" he said to Mark. "Walt a minute," interposed Kellerman. "I'd like to have a few words with this man, Captain Keyes." "By all means, sir," replied the Captain, rising. He strolled, humming, to the door of the dugout leaving Kellerman and Mark together. "So you've enlisted under the name Weston?" Inquired Kellerman. "That is my name, sir." "It was a shock to me yesterday, Wallace. I never expected it. Your disappearance stirred Washington a good deal. The war office would have exonerated you." In spite of his loathing of the man, Mark felt his heart begin to hammer with hope. He looked at Kellerman with pathos in his eyes; he could not hide his feelings; he was groping amid the ruins of his world and trying to reconstruct them. "I've no doubt you misunderstood me," said Kellerman. "My association with the Kenson woman was a part of my official duties—the most distasteful part, but one that had to be carried out. You and I were the victims of an acute piece .of trickery. That fan was wired." "From your room, sir," said Mark. "From my room," answered Kellerman, "And, no doubt, by the Kenson woman's agent, that spy who called to see you at the war office the same morning. Colonel Howard knows all about It. He means to stand by you. He heard you had enlisted, but he did not know you were In the medical corps, nor under an alias. He is at the base now, Wallace, Wben he comes up next week I shall make it my business to see him about you." "No, sir," gasped Mark. "It doesn't matter now." "It matters to me, if not to yourself, Wallace. I cannot rid myself of the sense of partial responsibility. And as for what happened last night, you took me off my guard. Til be frank with you. It was my duty to Interest the Kenson woman. I succeeded too well. She followed me here. I couldn't bring myself to denounce her. For that I have placed my own position in jeopardy. When you appeared I did not know what to do or say." "You found a course of action," answered Mark, torn between the desire to return blow for blow and to do justice to Kellerman, whose story left him doubtful and wondering. MWIli you accept my frank apology?" asked Kellerman, extending his hand. Mark took It "I will. Major Kellerman," he answered. And he made his way to the door of the dugout with a feeling of warmth In bis heart such as he had not known for many a month. He believed Kellerman— end yet . . . but he fought down his Instinct and still believed him. **A man hit between the lines," said the corporal. "You're got to bring bin* lu. You cuu see him from this loophole." Murk stepped upon the sentry's platform uud saw, Indistinct lu the dark uess, a huddled foriu ubout half-way to the German trenches. Then he heurd Kelleruum'a voice at his side. "A man of the —th got hit," he said. "Bring him in, Weston. Make u quick l job of it Corporal Balnea, you'll take [ charge. You two will be ready to take out your stretcher in case anything happens," he added to the two others. The corporal led the way, crouching, toward the gap in the wires. They passed two lines, traversed a diagonal lane, and emerged beyond the third into the open. The body of the wounded man, which had disappeared, came into light, a bluck patch under the stars. "Get down!" whispered the corporal. They flung themselves to the ground, and proceeded to wriggle forward, under his directions, pushing the stretcher as noiselessly as possible across the rough ground. Suddenly the man with Mark uttered an exclamation. "What the devil's he sent us on this job for?" he demanded truculently. "Shut up, you fool!" whispered the corporal hoarsely. "That ain't the man. He's been there these past three days. Dutchman he Is; every listening post party knows him. What's the good of bringing him in? He ain't got no head to him." "What you talking about?" snarled the corporal. '"That's the man the Major said, and there ain't no other in sight. Tent!" They flattened themselves as a rocket burst into the air above the German lines. Then the machine guns burst forth. "Rat-tat-tat-tat!" sang the bullets overhead. They swished through the grass and pattered on the ground. No answer came from -the section of the American line immediately behind the defenders, but on each side there came answering rolleys, making the air an inferno of crackling death. Then, gradually, the alarm subsided. The rocket showers died down. "Now, boys!" whispered the corporal. They crawled onward. The huddled form came into clear view. The body seemed to be already blending with the earth, melting into formlessness; and there was no need to wonder whether this was of a dead or wounded man. The corporal swore. "I told you so!" mumbled Mark's companion. "I told you so. Whuff he sent us here for, the fool?" His words ended In a gurgle. From behind the shelter of the corpse leaped five men. Noiselessly they flung themselves upon the party of three. Mark felt a pistol at his temple. "Surrender!" hissed a voice in his ear. In a flash he realized the trap. The three were unarmed, noncorabatnnts; It was a counter-raid—and Kellerman ( had known that the enemy were abroad that night and suspected their rendezvous. He saw his two companions being dragged, unresisting, toward the German lines. Three men were with them; besides his Immediate antagonist there was only one other figure In the Immediate vicinity, and that one had half turned away. And the thought of the Infernal trap goaded Mark to madness. As his captor, never suspecting resistance on his part let the muzzle of the pistol droop, Mark drew back his hand and struck upward with all his might He felt the burn of the powder as the discharged bullet sped under his chin, he heard the startled cry of the Germans; and then a furious outburst of machine-gun fire came from the trenches opposite. Two Very lights I went up, revealing the two struggling ' men to the sentries on either side. Mark saw a powerful man, a sergeant he thought, with close-cropped yellow hair and the body of a Hercules. The man dashed at him, striking madly with his bare fists. The two fought amid a hailstorm of bullets. (TO BE CONTINUED.) CHAPTER XIII.

Aside from the autumnal equinox, September each year is marked by another astronomical event of considerable Interest, namely, the so-called harvest moon, It being the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox.

GIVE CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS AT ONCE IF BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED. Look at the tongue, mother! II coated, it is a sure sign that your Uti l e one's stomach, liver and bowels needs a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act naturally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without grfpmg, and you nave a wefl, playful child again. You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative;" they love i t s delicious taste, and it always makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of nil ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. • Beware of counterfeits sold here. T o be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt.—Adv. Pluck is the stepfather of suceesa SPANISH IMENZA >o Not Fear When Fighting a German or a Germ! B y DR. M. COOK. The cool fighter always wins and sc there is no need to become panicstricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex* ercise in the fresh air and practice the three C's: A Clean Mouth, a Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off the poisons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the fhfluenza bacillus, t a k e ' a good liver regulator to move the bowels. Such a one is made up o.* May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of Jalap, and is to be had at any drug store, and called "Pleasant Purgative Pellets." If n bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonade and take a hot mustard foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm but well ventilated. Obtain at the nearest d r : g store "Anuric Tablets" to flush tti kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If a true case of influenza, the food should be simple, such as v broths, milk, buttermilk and ice-cream; but it is important that food be given regularly in order fo keep up patient's strength and vitality.

Streets Resound With Cheera for Yanks' Commander When Girl Discovers Him in Passing Auto. • Paris.—All Paris paid a noisy tribat « to Gen. John J. Pershing when the crowds in the streets espied the American commander passing In his automobile. It is estimated that at least Ifty thousand persons crowded about the general's car, while naif a million more Jammed the Place de la Concorde and adjacent streets In a mad effort to get a glimpse of the American leader. The general was out for a short drive and had come up the Rue Rlvoll. His car was proceeding at a snail's pace before It was recognized by the frenzied street crowds. As General i ershlng's face, with the famous smile, showed through the door, a French girl with the flags of half a dozen nations twined about her head screamed, "General Pershing!" The cry was taken up instantly and passed over the seething multitudes. If there were any gendarmes about they were Bwallowed up in the enormous mob. In an Instant men and women went mad and screamed his name, and all tried to reach the car. Men picked up women and held them on their shoulders that they might get a look at the geieral. The mob surged toward the car in another wave. Shakes Hands of Children. General Pershing amidst the danger was enjoying It greatly. Instead of closing the window and urging the driver to get out before they were crushed ;o death, he let the window down full length, laughed heartily, and thrust his hand out of the door to shake the hand of a little French child whose proud father lifted her above the heads of the mob. Children climbed on the tonneau and shinned up the back of the limousine and frantically leaped over the struggling mass and shot their hands In at the window. General Pershing continued laughing and tried to shake as many hands as could be thrust through the window. "Pershing! Pershing!" bellowed the mob, and the name rang from the Seine to the Rue Royale, up the Champs Elysees, and through the Tuileries gardens. Efforts to Clear Way Fall. French officers who had been caught up In the human maelstrom saluted and then endeavored to have the mob give way. As if by common impulse the masses seemed to understand that the great American general w a s In danger, and with a craning of heads and the screams of women and children a slight rift was made directly ahead of the car. Then by less than a snail'sl pace the car with frantic snorts edged along, inch by Inch. The cheering was indescribable. Along the boulevards the name df Pershing was taken up by.thousands who probably did not know that Pershing was in their midst, and at one moment it seemed that all Paris was shouting. By this time the inside of Pershing's car resembled, a flag shop. The children who were raised over the heads of the frantic populace tossed small flags and flowers through the window and the grownups tore the inslgpia from thehr coats and tossed It in. General Pershing was "laughing hard and waving his hand back at the children, but»stlll the flag and floral offerings poured In until he was half buried beneath the bunting, flngg, buttons, Insignia, and crushed blossoms. Moves Inch by Inch. Inch by Inch the car moved and then halted several minutes as the mob surged back against It. It was the car he had used over the battlefield of France and was built for rough usage, else it seems It mjlst have crushed lik« an egg Rbell. Finally the car edged out of the Place de la Concorde into the Champs Elysees, but still the mob, with hatsT off, krtns in air, and months wldejjpen, shouting like mad, surged about htm. It was several minutes otore before the car could be extricated and n. semblance of a read made, Even then, as the car got away up the great aveuce toward the Are de Trloraph, thousands.ran-after it. All Parts seemed to be rambling with a mighty noise and over the mighty noise sounded, clear and strong, "Vive Pershing r Troops Hi England First Home.

I o n d w —There has Just been seen the greatest navul surrender which the world has ever witnessed. A great fleet of German battleships, battle cruisers, and light cruisers and destroyers left port for un unknown destination. They were met by the British fleet, accompanied by American and French representatives, and conducted to their destination. A Berlin telegram received In Amsterdam gives this list of the vessels comprising the best of the German navy that were to be handed over: Battleships—Kaiser, Kaiserin, Konig Albrecht, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Prinz Regent Luitpold, Markgraf. Grosser Kurfurst, Bayern, Konlg Friedrlch der Grosse. Battle* cruisers—HIndenburg, Derfflinger, Seldlltz, Moltke, Von der Tann. Light cruisers—Bremen. Bruramer, Frankfurt, Kolin, Dresden, Emden. Germany has been stripped of at least half of the fleet of dreadnaughts which It had In commission or building when war began, and of practically all of its bottle cruisers. Yanks in Triumphal March. With the American Army of Occupation.— The American army of occupation, which is moving forward steadily over the territory evacuated by the retiring Germans, is being received with wild demonstrations of joy by the residents of the towns which are now being liberated after more than four years of German rule. When the American troops entered Briey, the heart of the Lothrlngtan Iron fields, they passed under triumphal arches that had been hurriedly erected by the people of the town, and the streets through which they passed were bedecked with flags. On one arch through which the Americans passed- was a homemade American flag four feet in length, flanked by the French colors. The flag, which had been made by three French girls, had eleven stars rind seven red and white stripes. At Lit. Leger, as the advance units of the Americans entered the town, the church bells were rung and the mayor and his wife stood In front of their home to welcome the officers and correspondents, who were Invited to become the mayor's guests. Wom- < n, children and aged men crowded about the soldiers, embracing them and presenting them with flowers. Similar scenes were enacted as the Americans reached Virton, Longwy, Audun, La Romain and other towns evacuated by the Germans. Everything moves smoothly as the American forces proceed toward the Rhine. Some 200,000 men, with their supplies, guns and ammunition, must be moved along three main roads from-railheads that get farther behin< each day. The job Is one that would tax the abilities of the quartermaster of any army. Fraga Flutter-Over British. With the British Armies.—Innumer- , able, flags fluttered over the heads oi the British troops as they moved for ward and started on their march to the Rhine. The cavalrymen had their own guidons and some of them rode with French and Bnlgian flags sticking out of their boots and fastened to their bridles. The gunners had flags on their limbers and the axles of their wagons; their steel traces were polished brightly, as though for a military tournament, and their steel helmets were shining. They had spent many hours in •'salt And polish'* "since the day of the armistice, so they should look well on the road to the Rhine. The advancing troops met thousands of civilians who were coming home after years of exile. As the soldiers went forward the homecoming civilians halted to wavo flags at them, astounded, it seemed, by the smart ness of the men whoTafter four y e a n of war, rode out, spick and span from helmet to spur, on fine horses, well fed and groomed, in sharp contrast to the sorry-looking German horseflesh.

New York.—Demobilization of the millions of men placed under arms to fight the world war presents a problem to the nations engaged such as has never before confronted any oation in the world. The man in the street who, having read of the armistice and plans for the peace conference, comfortably dismisses the war from his mind as something finished, has another guess coming. It is far more dimcult to wind up a war than to start one on its way- Many months—in all probability, or even two years—will elapse before the hundreds of thousands of Americans who put on khaki to fight Uncle Sam's battles are restored to their homes, despite the fact that Germany and her three accomplices have been ground into the dust and left with absolutely no more stomach for fighting the Americana and their" doughty allies. Police Needed In Europe. Th'ere are, according to the latest reports, about 2,200,000 American soldiers in Europe. Repatriation of this enormous army, even under the best of conditions, would be a gigantic task. But it is becoming increasingly probable that all sorts of elements will contribute toward complicating conditions and delaying the return home of our legions. First, the danger of anarchy in the Central powers and of continued trouble in Russia is so threatening that it is more than likely that a large fraction of our forces abroad— some say as many as 1,000,000—will have to remain in. Europe for an indefinite period after conclusions of peace, co-operating with troops of our Allies as a sort of international police, keeping law and order and saving Europe from plunging into hideous chaos. Huge Ship Fleet Needed. Second, there is the question of transportation. It has. been stated that our troops could be brought home at the rate of from 250,000 to 300,000 a month, if all were as it should be. But—and this is a very hig but indeed— an enormous tonnage of shipping will be required for months o* come for taking food to those countries which are menaced with actual famine as a result of the horrible condition into which more than four years of war have plunged them. Third, there is the question of the re-absorption, without undue friction, of the huge numbers of men now under arms into tho normal activities of the United States and the other nations which have been waging war. Jt has been announced .from Washington that the demobilization of the armed forces of the United States will proceed largely in proportion as the "trades .and occupations on this side of, the water are in a position to take them back.

Beans! Do you know them? Boston baked! Red beans on toast! Or just beans. Home and foreign consumption of beans has increased rapidly in the past few years. The war has piven thousands of Europeans their first taste of real "Yankee pork and beans." This "bean habit" will linger] und beans will become a necessity on the European bill of fare, as It has on the American. Possibly no other cultivated crop offers a quicker or larger cash return than does the field bean. In the past, bean growing has been confined to comparatively small areas, but growers have found out that there are varieties adapted to growth in most every section of the country. While beans have been looked upon by some as a "poor land crop," theyi do best on a fertile soil that is neither extremely light and open nor too heavy and compact. The bean is a legume, capable by virtue of its root structure, j mon. of taking nitrogen from the air, but owin^ to its brief growing soason the nitrogen-gathering bacteria on the roots have but a .short space of time in which.to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used on beans should supply, nitrogen as well as phosphoric acid and potash. The rapid growth and early maturity secured through the use of fertilizers are also valuable in enabling the crop to escape rust, blights or early fronts. ANOTHER AMEffiGMI CON- fvallabfe On t U T t e * we would nilCCT e a I>r °du cti°n ot approximately y u t ^ » 75,000 tons of available potash each year. Since only about 50 per cent of tfie potash in the raw material is ordinarily volatillzed*ln the process of making cement, as handled at present, there is a prospect of still further quantities to be made available from this source. The present high prices of -potash are encouraging installation of collecting apparatus and when once installed the cost of potash recovery is small. POTASH HUNGER OF POTATOES Throughout all of the principal potato- growing sections of the East there is growing evidence of the effect of back of potash on potatoes. First this hunger for potash was made apparent by decreased yields. Virginia, Maine, New Jersey and New York have found that they cannot grow potatoes as well as they could five or six years ago. Potatoes don't set as well, tubers don't till out, and disease is more com- CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME THE SAME MATERIALS Wartime Conditions Thre: izer Supply. :n Fertil p:very cannon crash and every bursting bomb on the battlefields of Europe | uses up important fertilizer materials. A single skirmish may consume more potential plant food than would be required to feed the fields of an entire township, and the quantities burned up during a real bombardment are tremendous. Lust year more than 000,- 0O0 tens of nitrate went to make explosives in the United States alone. Millions of tons of sulphuric acid were likewise consumed, I-'e-tilizei's and warfare bear a most intimate and most sensitive relation-' ship. VV'.r decreases the supply of iertiii:diig materials and at the same time h.er.'n-vs (lie importance of their use. {• :J<:11 pi'ydiu tion takes on a pa* tiiotic a-pert. The farmer's tools of produnion heroine of importance sec-, ond only to tlm n< eds of the army it- >'af. Yet v, lam Ma r> is the arbiter tin «prefei'e!;re mi materials must goto the soldier rather than to toe farmer. This accounts for the shortage of! materials from which fertilizers are made. | But nuw a new danger threatens the spring fertilizer supply. The labor supply has failed. The needs of the munition plants and the shipyards have been so great as to seriously draitf~T:he fertilizer factories. Manyplar\ ts h a \ e lost 30 to 40 per cent of theii) labor) and there is no prospect for Improvement by next spring. ' In normal times spring fertilizers are turned out by working the fac- \ taries at high speed during the late winter and early spring months. Onlyi half as many laborers are employed in! November and December as in Febru-! ary and March. j With the present difficulty of getting laborers, it can be seen how remote is'. the chance of speeding up to double production next spring. There Is only J one way to get out the fertilizer t o n - nage needed for next year's crops, and' that is to start in now and run every] factory ns best it may every day from now until spring. Rut manufacturing every day must rnenn shipping every day. Fertilizer factories do not have and cannot get storage space for this tremendous hulk of goods. Finished goods must be loaded directly on the cars and shipped to the consumer. Here is where the farmer must help. He mnst place his order immediately and iu eopt immediate shipment. In no other way can the problem be solved. Potato specialists, who have been studying the matter, say that most of the trouble is due- to the lack of potash in the potato fertilizer. They also say that the new diseases of potatoes which have been so common for the past two years are nothing more than "Potash Hunger." The Phoma stem blight, which was so common in 1918 along the Eastern seaboard, has been definitely traced down to malnutrition due to lack of potash. The disease is made apparent by a bronzing of the foliage followed by a premature collapse of the entire plant. Specialists in Washington soy that using potash fertilizer will remove the cause of the trouble, and advise farmers to buy fertilizer containing 2 to 3 per cent of potash for use nest year. • MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE MORE PORK In these days when every acre mustbe made to produce its utmost, the re-! suits with fertilizers at the Ohio agricultural experiment station are most interesting. Translating corn yields into terms of work, it was found that where no fertilizer of any kind was used, an acre of corn would produce about 282 pounds of pork; where manure was used on the corn land, 457 pounds of pork were produced; and where fertilizer was applied in addition to manure, an acre of corn produced 552 pounds of work. On most farms manure Is lacking and more dependence must be placed upon the commercial forms of fertilizer. All who expect to use fertilizer next spring should place their orders not later than November. Wartime conditions make it necessary to order far in advance. LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS PRODUCTION CAN AMERICA PRODUCE HER OWN POTASH? The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit bj the War. The supply ,of fertilizer for 191* spring sown crops is threatened bj shortage of labor in the fertilizer factories. This fact,is of particularly serious import to the potato farmers oi the country, for the great potato sections are coming more and more to depend on fertilizer for the economical production of this crop. Thus it happens that the very factor which prevents factories running to full capacity also has effect in preventing farmers from using their own depleted farm labor supply to best advantage. Labor cannot be used to advantage on those fields whirh can give but half a crop. The fertilizer industry is normally n seasonal industry. Abou* the first of February the factories are normally in full blast, producing fertilizer for use on spring crops. Then they "die down'* Mgain for a period of several months in late spring and carry summer. This requires a large floating supply of labor, a supply which has largely been oaten up by demands of the shipyards and munition factories. TransiVn-lng the industry from a sensonal basis to a full 12 months' operating basis will certainly be economical of labor. The factories can then work at somewhat diminished daily OHpncity for more weeks in the year, and in this way get out the necessary tonnage. It can't be -done- at once, j* however, because factories do not have j storage space enough to allow of this. Goods must be shipped out almost as t -v - - • ' ) • : ) New light is thrown on this interesting question by facts and figures contained iu a recent publication of the bureau of soils of the United States department of agriculture- Bulletin No. 572 gives a careful analysis of the probable potash supply to be had from the cement Industry when apparatus for its recovery fast as they nre made—so that the has been universally installed. On the basis of an average production of 90,000,000 bnrrels of cement the total potash escaping at present amounts to about 87,000 tons annually. It has b«en demonstrated commercial- ' thtft 96 per cent of thl* pota«h 1« from the car on arrival, much may be recoverable and experiments show done to help insure a sufficient rapplj that «5 per cent of this amount Is In tot next s p r i n g business.

For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse.

The paper states opposition of the Berlin soldieri' and workmen's council to a democratic republic will not only prove to be a signal f r civil war but also will result in braaking off peace negotiations and entry of Entente troops into Germany. Continuing, it says: "All of south Germany must disengage Itself from this Berlin reign of Mood and terror and prove to the world it respects President Wilson's ultimatum: 'No peace with autocracy.' " The left wing of the Social Democrats and the Ultra-Radicals launched their anticipated fight on the National Assembly during the course of a largely attended meeting of the worklngmen's council for Greater Berlin called by the executive board of the Soldiers' and Workintjmen's Council.

While wandering alone in the jungle he conies across a dead man in a hut outside of which a little gtrl Is playing. When Jne la rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his Intention of adopting her. His commanding officer-Major rfJoward, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kelleruian, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladies' bearding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that, when she is eighteen she intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains in the West At the outbreak of the European war Colonel Howard calls Wallace to a staff post in Washing* ton. He finds Eleanor there, also KeHerman, In whom he discerns an antagonist. For years a strange man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps, following but never accosting her. One night Wallace sees the man and. follows him to a gambling bouse kept by a Mrs. Kenson. Here the strange man is attacked by KeHerman. "Wallace rescues him and takes him to his own apartment. In the night the man, who gave his name as Hartley, disappears. The next day Wallace Is called from his office and on his return finds important documents missing. His resignation Is requested. Mrs. Kenson asks Wallace to become a spy for the International gang. He refuses and is clubbed as be Is leaving the house* Hartley rescues him. ^ S i u CHAPTER X—Continued. Under the name of Weston, Mark had enlisted in the medical branch of the 8erviee. It was a lowly branch, •despised by those who knew nothing of its activities. But the choice had been between that and nothing, foe the first fighting contingents to be sent overseas embraced only the regulars, not those of the draft Mark had enlisted rather than watt especially since lie knew that Colonel Howard, with KeHerman and his staff, were already in France* And somewhere within a few square miles was the base of the American activities, the headquarters from which the mobilisation in France was being directed. "Hurry up to the surgical ward J* said the matron, as Mark reached her. "And you, too, Hartley," she added. The two men scrambled up the stairs. At the opposite end of the building, an old converted chateau, the convoy had halted. Other orderlies were carrying out the stretchers with their living, mangled burdens. A group of the newly arrived doctors -and nurses was- coming up the stairs. They were all ready for their work. Mark no longer saw anything but the wounded men. Dripping with perspiration, he hurried from the ward to the pack store And back, Innumerable times, struggling under great piles of towels and bedding. "Must have been a stiff fight," panted Hartley, as they passed each, other. Mark responded with a movement of the head,- It most have been a fight to have brought all those serious cases down to the base hospital. * "Weston, you're to-go into the operating room r The nurse who addressed him spoke as to a servant "Yes,. Sister^ he answered, and braced his shoulders and hurried to obey. ..'..•„ ..,- The patient already etherised, had been brought in. Markv -watching the patient narrowly as the surgeon probed the wound, knew nothing bat his task until toe surgeon nudged htm familiar* ly in the aide while one of the nurses was sponging his forehead. "I know your face, orderly," he said. . "Where was it?** Mark started and looked Into the I onisstcal fray eyes of one of the army doctors from an Arisons town, whom he had dined at the mess. "I think you are mistaken, sir," he answered quietly. The surgeon searched bis face, and, like a decent man, admitted his error. "Another poor devil gone down,* he thought as he turned to his work. There were three mere operations following, and Mark sighed with rOUef as the last ma* was carried away.

"On, Captain Mark!" she whispered, Mark felt himself beginning to shake; fate seemed to have played a wretched trick on htm just then. "Why, Captain Mark! Why—why did you do this?" asked Eleanor. "Hey,Weston I" called his fellow orderly from the door of the sterilizing room; and then, seeing him with the sister, withdrew. "Tou heard my nameT* asked Mark. "I heard it' Captain Mark. Won't you tell me what it means, what it all means V "What it all meansr* he repeated vaguely, wondering at the concern on her face. "Why you disappeared as you did from Washington. I knew that you had applied for leave of absence, because you had overworked In the~hot weather. But you — never came back." Her voice broke Into a sob. "The Colonel didn't think it strange. He wouldn't admit that there was any reason, except that you must have gone back to your regiment Did you and he quarrel, Captain Mark? It's unthinkable. I could learn nothing about you, but Major KeHerman had said you were tired of the work and might have got some appointment out of the service. Their tales were conflicting. And you weren't on the army list any more. Won't you tell me, just because—you know—because—" Mark could hardly restrain his feeling. 'Til tell you," said Mark, raising his eyes. "I was accused of treachery, of betraying secrets to enemies of my country—w Eleanor laughed in a little, mirthless voice. "You're still the same, Uncle Mark," she whispered. "Did yon think I would believe thatf "It was not true," cried Mark, nettied and, desperate. "But it was found that I frequented gambling houses—H . ?You are so fond of money, Uncle Markr* "I wanted money* Tou were rich, and I wanted your esteem. I wanted to move In your circles, to win your favor, as others could—'* She gasped and grew red; he saw that his arrow had gone home, and went on pitilessly. "When I was at your reception yon had smiles for everyone.** ••That's enough, Captain Wallace," she said, with an Indrawn breath. "Tou insulted me the last time we met, you know, or probably have forgotten. I— I see that mil my thoughts of yon were wrong. I was always s burden. And when-yon didn't write so many years, and when yon didn't come to see me, I thought—oh, n i tell yon now, since yon have humiliated me as deeply as it is posatWe to humiliate a woman..

The recognition was mutual and instantaneous. Kellerman's surprise was changing into a sneering challenge When Eleanor turned, saw the newcomer, and, with a superb effort of will, smiled at him. "So I see you got here, Sister Howard," said Kellermun, with a forced laugh. "Just in time," answered the girl. "Have you come to order us all up to the trenches?" "Some of you, but not the ladles. No, I'm attending the General on his tour of inspection of the lines." The talk grew Indistinct as they drifted away. Mark, staring after them in a stupor, saw KeHerman nod toward him, and fancied that the girl made a gesture of pleading. Neither had noticed him. He reflected savagely that already Eleanor was coming to take hfs status for granted, as the other sisters did. ™* ^^*^^"^ ^ '•^^^^T- ^^^BgtmewBnvsHgem awns CHAPTER XI. By evening the rush of work had died down, and the orderlies, save those on duty, were given the customary leave. Leave meant Etaples, with Its comfortable little inn, the chatty landlady and her pretty daughter. Mark strode toward Etaples. He had an intense longing for the lights and comfort of the little inn. But he had not gone more than a hundred paces when Hartley hailed him. "Going into Etaples?" be asked. "Do you mind my going with you?" "Frankly, yes, Hartley," answered Mark. "Tou won't mind my saying so? I want to be alone after—" "I know, old man," said Hartley, drawing back. "Sorry if I bothered you." But Mark swung round on him. "Hartley, answer me one question," he said. "What has Miss Howard ever had to do with you? Why have you been watching her for six or seven years?" Hartley began to walk along the road at Mark's side. He made a curious gulping sound before he answered. "Has It occurred to you, Mark, that the Kenson woman has been operating in Washington for a good time now?" he asked. "I suppose so," Mark answered. "Tou know everything was prepared for years before the war began. The system had ramlf cations in every department of the government Tou know Colonel Howard was in touch wifn it as far back as the Cuban war?" "Good Lord, yes, but—" "And a man is only a pawn In such a game. Good God, don't question me, Mark I I've-been a tool of hers, but I'll swear that I never worked against the government I learned little by little of the whole accursed nest of spies. I obeyed their orders because— well, I can't tell you now—but I worked against them too. I've done them more barm than good. I had my motives— selfish ones, despicable, perhaps; but I was never a traitor. Good God, Mark, haven't you seen how your faith in me has begun .to make a man of me?" Mark took Hartley's hand and gripped It It was the best and the only possible answer. In their tacit understanding they went on toward the Inn together. Outside the Inn they saw an auto, with a soldier chauffeur In charge. Hartley gripped Mark's arm. "Do you know whose that IsT he whispered. "Kellerman's r The landlady came to the door. "Bonsolr. messieurs," she said smiling. 'This way tonight if yon please.*' She led them round by the side, into .the kitchen, where they found half a dosen privates drinking tight wine and teasing the landlady's daughter as she served them. There was nothing in this to the men; they were often turned out of the dining room-parlor wnen officers pot in an appearance. Bat—this was KeHerman I Mark looked at Hartley and saw intense excitement on his face, which he was trying most evidently to "She is one of my countrywomen. The accent is of the south, or aome.outlandish part, but she is French—and she has come u long way to meet him, and he will not have anything to do with her. How did she get through the lines?" "Who", Annette r "The lady with the Araerleuu officer. Listen, monsieur! Listen, then !" They were standing in front of the outhouse, which was set near an angle of the old-fashioned building between the parlor, and the kitchen. They could hear the imploring voice of the woman, and the subdued answers of KeHerman. Then, elusive against the dark angle of the building, Mark perceived Hartley. He was standing under the high sill of the window, in such a way that Mark thought he could see through the chink between the sill and the lower edge of the blind. Eavesdropping as he evidently was, Mark felt that something justified his presence there. Annette perceived him at the same moment. She started, and then shrugged her shoulders. "Eh blen, monsieur, it is their af- 'falr!" she said lightly, and went into the outhouse. She was too wise to interfere with her customers. Mark hardly noticed her departure. He was watching Hartley. Suddenly the door opened and the woman came down the steps that led into the little vineyard behind the inn. She raised her heavy veil to dab a handkerchief at her eyes, and at that moment Mark recognized Mrs. Kenson. He remained rooted to the ground in astonishment. But it was more than that; he felt suddenly trapped, as if the woman's presence there was vitally connected with his own problems, as if he were the victim of some far-reaching scheme with which he could not grapple. A minute later KeHerman appeared and stood upon the step above her, looking into her upturned face with his habitual sneer. "It Is all over then?" asked Mrs. Kenson. "Since you compel me to be frank— yes," answered KeHerman. "It has been over for years, Ada. To think that you should have put us all in this danger! Tou haven't told me how you got here, or how you sent me that message." "How I got here? Does that matter? Well, I came up in a peasant woman's dress, as one of the repatriated. I sent you the message through a boy, who knows nothing—his wits were thrashed out of him by the Germans. He left the note—he won't trouble you. And I suppose now Tm Suddenly she broke Into a shrill invective. "I'm to go back, after the thousands of miles that I came, because you are the only man in the world who has ever meant anything to me! I gave my life to you. How many years have you played with me? Answer me! And now you fling me from you as If I were nothing, because of— oh, do you suppose I haven't heard of you and Miss Howard? I'll call her that! But take care! I can be dangerous when I am aroused, and I see now—I see clearly now, if never before !" Mark's blood seemed to freeze as he listened. He had unconsciously drawn near Hartley. "You are talking wildly, Ada," muttered KeHerman. "Are you going to ruin everyone? Do you want to hang? For you will, Ada. There's no sentimentality in war. Now I'm going to do the riskiest thing I ever did. I'm going to take you back behind the Unea in my auto. By a miracle of good luck I have the password for the night Cornel And we'll talk over matters on the drive back!" "Come, Ada!" said KeHerman; and then be turned sharply and confronted Mark, For an instant he stood as If transfixed ; then, with an oath, he leaped at him and struck him a blow in the face that sent him reeling backward.
