Paris.—One single Item excepted, everything in France has advanced from 25 to 200 per cent inf the last three yours. The rent of large apartments is the only item which has decreased since the war began, and that is due to the fact that thousands of foreigners—American*, chiefly—packed off to the United States in August, 1914, subleasing their homes fur a song, and thousands of French people who formerly had handsome places can no longer afford the upkeep, especially with coal almost impossible to get and with the servant question a greater problem than it ever was. Today one can find a handsomely furnished apartment of seven rooms or more in a fine modern building, with all improvements, at a cheaper rental than the place would have cost unfurnished before the war. But one would find also an elevator—of the automatic brand—that does not work, radiators with no heat, hot water pipes with no hot water, and a re- I striction on the very amount of gas and electricity consumed per month. And with positions at good wages in munition factories open to every girl from sixteen years up, It Is almost impossible , to find house servants. Small Apartments Dearer. j Rentals for apartments of one, two, three, or even four rooms, on the other hand, have mounted steadily. They are in demand by the well-to-do refugees, Belgians and those from the north of France who arrive in large batches daily, Telephones were Increased exactly 50 per cent a year ago.

Bread is truly the staff of life of the French, and bread has not risen in price. One buys still the long loaf for five sons, or exactly one-fifth of it for one son.

The land was put In cultivation a good many years ago and not long after put down to grass ami kept in pasture until last year when it was appropriated for a garden back of the new house. Last year a splendid crop of weeds was grown In the garden. Not by me, please understand, for I have a const! tutlonal antipathy for weeds, inherited from a long line of farmer ancestors. 1 might have expected a very good warden this year without special attention further than cood cultivation, hut I know that garden vegetables are voracious feeders and concluded to supply mine with ul! they could take care of by putting on commercial fer Ulizer. The land was plowed hist full, turned under the w ' n l s which were from waist to shoulder high. Tins spring a beautiful crop came on ami was worked into the soil before the garden wa« planted. Then a good grade of enmmerrhil fertilizer was used in row and bill of everything dial was planted except the corn and beans. 1 was afraid to f e e d t h e s e ( T o p s Ion w e l l . As a check, pieces of rows were left unfertilized. 1 planned 'o keep these without fertilizer during i\\» summer, but when I saw how far they were falling behind, I began to work the fer tllizcr in around the rows and hills which had been* left unfertilized. I also worked U in the other crops as I cultivated thetn and from the start that garden has grown until the neighbors asked what kind of seeds I planted. I have a pretty good cheek by having n neighbor's garden near enough to observe, the land being the same as mine. I have -used commercial fer tilizer at the rate of almost four pounds to the acre. Lettuce and onions have responded in a surprising wuy. When one can grow heads of lettuce winch are two feet across, one need not ask for any j thing more.

ORDER IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 Committees Appointed By Fuel Administrator Will See That Order of Government Is Enforced. Washington — Government control uver the coal industry has been made complete by an order of Fuel Administrator Garfield limiting the profits of retail coal and coke dealers throughout the country to a basis which is expected to bring about an immediate reduction in prices to the consumer. The order, effective October 1, directed that the retailers shall fix their prices so to limit their gTOss margins over cost to the average of the gross profits during the year 1915, plus a maximum, of 30 per cent of the 1913 margin, provided that in no case shall the average margin of the month of July, this year, be exceeded. Local committees appointed by the federal fuel administrators in each state will s e e to it that the dealers comply with t h e order. Dealers themselves will be called upon to return sworn costs sheets showing the facts upon which they have based their prices. Dr. Garfield selected 1915, as a normal year because the coal shortage which resulted in continued rises in prices did not begin until 1916. The additional 30 per cent is allowed to cover the increase in the retailers cost of doing business, which has Increased substantially during the past two years. Prices already fixed by the government for coal at the mouth of the mine are near those charged in 1915, and with the jobbers' charge now limited to 25 cents a ton and the cost of transportation not materially Increased, the consumer, In every community, should be able to get coal of any description at approximately the price he paid in 1915.

According to Survey, 50,000 Detroit Homes Have No Fuel 8upply. Lansing—That there is an alarming shortage of coal in Michigan especially in the large cities was brought out emphatically by a survey Just completed in Detroit, under direction of the Detroit Board of Commerce. Fifty thousand Detroit homes ara without coal, and without positive assurance of being able to secure a winter's supply of fuel, a condition unprecedented at this time of the year. The results of the survey have not been made public in their enttrety, but enough of the chief features of the report are known to reveal a situation startling in its indications of hardship for the public. Coal dealers, without a known e i - ception, are refusing to take advanco orders from their customers. Dealers, unable to obtain any information in regard to when the fuel administration will permit shipments here, are running no risks of making promises of delivery that they may be unable to fill. Opinion among Board of Commerce members and Detroit coal men, howaver, seems t o be that Detroit la being discriminated against, and that an early and emphatic protest to Washington la the only course open, if a shortage of fuel in mid-winter is to be prevented. a S.

LEADERS CHARGES MEN W I T H CONSPIRACY TO HAMPER GOVERNMENT DURING WAR. SEIZED RECORDS SHOW GUILT Documents Taken in Raid Said to Reveal Plot to Re«ist Draft Law and Foment Strikes. Chicago—Formal return of a blanket Indictment charging a nation-wide conspiracy to hamper the government during the war has been made in the United States district court here against 166 leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World. Seditious conspiracy- the crime nearest to treason within the definition of the criminal code—is charged. ThlB offense is punishable by six yeare' imprisonment or $6,000 fine, or both. Indictments are understood to be based upon revelations brought to light in the recent country-wide seizure by federal authorities of documents and correspondence of the I. W. W. in approximately CO towns and cities. These documents are understood to have revealed the existence of a conspiracy, the most far-reaching in its acope of any yet unearthed, to embarrass the government in the prosecution of the war by resistance to the draft law, by fomenting labor disturbances, by burning crops and forests and in numerous other ways. A camparatively small coterie of men it understood to have directed the entire movement. The evidence laid before the grand jury was of such volume as actually to weigh a ton or more. There was evidence that German money was plentifully supplied, as shown in many letters and cancelled checks. Indications pointed to a group of men as prime movers In the great conspiracy with a large number of agents acting under their orders. One feature which the investigation brought out sharply was the almost predominating membership of Austrian* in the ranks of the I. W. W local organizations. Thousands of these men, unrestrained because the United States is not at war with Austria, feaeral investigators have found, have been free to carry on whatever activities were planned. Among the first to be taken into custody was William D. Haywood, secretary of the national organization of the I. W. W., who was questioned September 5, when the headquarters of the I. W. W. in various cities were raided by the government. After he had been questioned by Hluton O. Clabaugh, of the department of justice, Haywood was held in default of $25,000 bail. iECOND LIBERTY LOAN ISSUED Bonds Carry 4 Per Cent Interest—Sale Closes October 27. Washington—The campaign for the sale of the second issue of Liberty bonds which was opened Monday, October 1, will close Saturday, October 27. The chief features of the new issue are: Amount—$3,000,000,000 or more, tbe excess not to be more than one-half of the amount of over-subscription. In other words, if subscriptions to the extent of $5,000,000,000 are filed, $4,000,- 000,000 of bonds may be alloted. Term of bonds—Maturity, 25 years; redeemable at the option of the secretary of the treasury, in 10 years. Denominations of bonds—$50 and multiplies of $50. Interest rate—Four per cent, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15. Terms of payment—Two per cent on application, 18 per cent November 15, 40 per cent December 14 and 40 per cent January 15, 1918. The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any succeeding issue bearing a higher interest i than 4 per cent during the period of j the war is extended. I Through an arrangement under I which bonds will be printed with only ! four coupons instead of 50 (to be exchanged at the end of two years for the bonds containing the full number of coupons), deliveries will bo prompt. In this manner, the issue of Interim certificates will be avoided. Camp McArthnr, Waco, Tex.—Completely losing its identity as a regiment, the Thirty first Michigan infantry upon its arrival at Camp McArthur, Waco, was split up and the enlisted men and officers were divided between the old Thirty-second and Thirty-third. No sooner had Colonel Ambrose C. Pack announced the safe arrival here of all the Thirty-first men than he was informed by General Lewis C. Covell, commander of the Michigan forces, that complete reorganisation of all the state guard had been completed. Cavalry Made Artillery. Here are some of the important points in the reorganization: The Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Thirty-third regiments are wiped out as such; in their places there will be the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth and the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Cavalry outfits are transferred to artillery and there will be no cavalry troops in the National Guard. Michigan troops will form what is known as a fighting brigade, the sixty- third, and are likely to go to France early in 1918. A machine gun battalion of three companies will be part of the Sixtythird brigade. Commanding the brigade will be General Lewis C. Covell; Colonel John B. Boucher, former commander of the Thirty-third, will command the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, and Colonel Joseph B. Westledge, who commanded the old Thirty-second in the north, will command the new One- Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Identity of Troops Saved, That the Michigan guard was not made the Fifty-seventh depot brigade as had been ordered, was due entirely to^the activity of General Covell, officers here said. If the Michigan soldiers had been used as a reserve force, then they would have been scattered among the Wisconsin fighting regiments and would have lost their identity. The result of this would have been that when I he history of the war was written Michigan troops would have received no credit for participation. Claiming that this was a decided injustice, General Covell, after many conferences, won over the department, Washington—A communication from and instead of Wisconsin having two the governor of Minnesota and the fighting brigades, she now has one State Public Safety commission, re- fighting brigade and one depot brigade, questing expulsion from the senate of and Michigan has one fighting brigade.

CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION. The Liquor publicity bureaus are making much of the fact that Cardinal Gibbons Is opposed to prohibition. They would have the jpublic forget the many stalwart champions of the antiliquor cause in the Roman Catholic church. They would like to blot from its memory the words of Archbishop Ireland: "Were God to place in my hand a wand with which to dispel the evil of intemperance, I would strike the door of every saloon, every distillery, every brewery, until the accursed traffic should be wiped from the face of the earth," They would erase from the rememberance of the communicants of that church the scathing Indictment of Archbishop John J. Keane : "If I could cause the earth to open and swallow up every saloon in the world, I would feel that I was conferring upon humanity a blessing. The saloon is bad for the home, the church and the country. It has no redeeming feature." They would have good Cathoucs forget the advice of Cardinal Manning: "The drink traffic is u public, permanent and ubiquitous agency of degradation. The drink trade Is our shame, scandal and sin, and unless brought under by the will of the people, It will be our downfalL Do you know how you can help to break up tliis unholy alliance between government and the greatest fraud of the age? Vote against It."—The Union Signal. GREAT GAINS TO LABOR. Conditions in Shreveport, La., a dry city, are thus described by Mr. Thomas J. Greer, president of the Louisiana Federation of Labor: "Since the influence of the liquor traffic has been removed from union politics we have made tremendous gains in Shreveport since the town went dry in 1908. Membership in labor unions has increased from 1,800 to 3,700, and home-owners among union men have increased 40 per cent. The carpenters' union has increased its membership from 65 to 375. When Shreveport was wet the painters' union had 35 members, working ten hours a day for $2.75. Today the painters' union has 145 members, eight hours a day nnd 55 centp an hour, or a scale of $4.40 per day. Barbers have shortened their hours of labor, raised wages continuously and have a 100 per cent organization. A brewery under the wet regime employed six non-union brewery workers; today an ice factory at the same location employs 40 union ice workers." FEW SITTING IDLY BY. Of all the reasons that may be urged ngainst the use of alcoholic drinks (especially during the wnr) the two that must appeal to physicians with irresistible force, are (1) the action of alcohol In lessening all forms of efficiency, physical, Intellectual and moral, and (2) the Intimate connection? always found between drinking, prostitution and the spread of venereal diseases. The evidence against alcohol on these accounts is so overwhelming, so well-established and so generally known that it does not seem necessary to go into details. Only the other day an experiment was mentioned In the Journal which showed that 60 grams of brandy caused a depreciation In the marksmanship of expert shots of 80 per cent In rapid firing and 50 per cent in slow firing. What sense is there In training men to become efficient and then sit idly by and let the hard-won efficiency be taken away by alcohol?—Journal of the American Medical Society. WHO 18 RESPONSIBLE? I have observed that every bandit crew that goes forth to murder startj from a saloon; that every panderer has his rendezvous in s grog-shop; that every den of thieves makes its victims drunk, before It robs them; that every house of prostitution has its bar or is in partnership with boose; that every gambling den either is in s saloon or sustains a dose relationship with one; that the pickpocket ••trust* is housed in a saloon; that the "payoff joint" for the crook and the crooked policeman Is in a saloon; that the professional bondsmen and character witnesses for thieves and holdup men are saloonkeepers or bartenders.—Judge Gemmlll of Chicago.

MORE WHEAT PRIZES Honors for Western Canada Come Year After Year. At the recent boll Products Exposition at Peoria, 111., in a keen contest for the coveted first pri*e for wheat. Western Canada has again carried off all the honors. Not only has she won the first, hut also the second and thin I prizes. These were won by Mr. 8. Larcoiube, of Blrtle, Manitoba. In past | years the Province of Saskatchewan had the distinguished honor of carrying off the iuitlul prize. Harvesting a.nji threshing are now completed in Western Canada, and while it is early in the season to give exact figures as to the average yield per acre of wheat, oats, barley and Max it is safe to assume that the former will yield about 20 bushels per acre. The price to the farmer will be about $2.00 per bushel, giving him $40.00 an acre of a return. When it is considered that the land upon which this wheat Is grown averaged less than $30 an acre, it takes very little figuring to arrive at an estimate of the profit there is to the grain grower of Western Canada. The writer knows where u farmer purchased 160 acres of land In the spring of 1016, broke it up the same year, put it in wheat In 1017. His crop was harvested a few days ago. It yielded 4,800 bushels and he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving him $9,840. The land cost him $4,800. breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and threshing. $1,920. His profit was $3,120 after paying for his land and his costs of improving. He has now $3,120 to commence another season with a "paid for in full" Improved farm. Never has farming offered such profitable returns for labor as at present and nowhere Is the large profit equal to that of the low priced, high yielding lands of Western Canada. There has been a big rush during" the past few weeks of renters and owners of high priced lands In many parts of the United States to Investigate these 100% profit reports. No better season of the year could be selected by anyone desiring to better their condition and wishing to give Western Canada the "once over.'* Threshing is now completed and tho grain being marketed. The weather Is fine and will be pleasant for a couple of months and a visit now to personally investigate the conditions will be convincing ami profitable. White old home Lies nnd family associations are one of the first considerations In the mind of the reader, who feels that, the old five or ten per cent return Insufficient, it behooves the modern and progressive farmer always to be on the alert to grasp the opportunities of the hour. Land in Western Canada that if? annually producing n gross return of from $40.00 to $S0.00 per acre is purchasable at from $15 to $30 per acre. It can be seen at a glance that such values cannot help but increaseas they have done In the older agricultural districts of the United States. The new settler will find himself surrounded by same contented and prosperous neighbors. The expense of making one visit to look into Western Canada's opportunities is small—n special reduced rate is available and you owe> yourself ,a holiday and a trip may do you good. You, owe your dependents a right to better your condition and Western Canada offers that opportu* nit v.—Advertisement. Real Foresight.

The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, und the daughter, very good looklog and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of un anarchist hand, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a young bachelor, began to take an uncommon. Interest In Elinor. Youhg Walter Huff of the gang confessed his love for her and she accepted it. Then Boroday was arrested on suspicion and his companions perpetrated a country club hold-up to get funds for his legal defense, but were sadly disappointed In the amount secured. CHAPTER V—Continued. "An audacious piece of work. Half the women In this vicinity suffered, Most of them are my parishioners." "Ah!" breathed Elinor. "I am sorry." Ward shrugged his shoulders ruefully. "It means, I dare say, that the poor of the parish will get less than ever this year. Mrs. Bryant, for instance, who has always be*m generous, lost a j)earl necklace and a wonderful pearshaped pfnk pearl." MIs she—a wealthy woman?" ''Very, I believe." "Then Is It such a terrihle thing for Jier to lose the pearl? Perhaps these '•bandits, as you call them, think they <"Ould use these things better than the people who owned them." Ward smiled. "I daresay we all think we could use the other fellow's j*ossesslons better than he does." Elinor persisted, frowning n little. "Things are so terribly mixed up," •he said. "If you could know the things thnt I know"—Ward looked faintly nmused—"the people who are fighting /or a principle, and have nothing to ilght with, fighting for life sometimes! A good half of the world, you know, just Rtrugglea along, and the other half is so smug, so satisfied ; It's—it's horrible." Mr. Ward stared at her. "How in the world do you come by such thoughts?" he demanded. "I've never known anything else; I 'was brought up on the Injustice.of things. You have your poor here in the parish, but you see I was brought xip with the poor of all the world. I am afraid I'm always for the under dog." Rather startled was Rev. Mr. Ward that summer afternoon on the terrace at the Hall, startled and puzzled. "Down In oar hearts," he said, "perhaps we are all of us for the under dog. But how does that excuse my bandltsr •This Mrs. Bryant—how much dc 3rou suppose you are going to lose for your poor by her loss?" "Not so much, but enough. She had promised a lot of things.

"Now that my father is gone." said jBHnor wistfully, "It seems the best «altit> And—I should like children. I feave no friends, except perhaps you,** Ward atrore to keep his voice steady, *nd matter-of-fact. "Marriage U so serious—so vital a thing.** He was trying to be calm and jBdlctal. But his voice sounded far toff; his heart pounded in his ears. "To narry because one is alone, or needs friends—Is a flimsy foundation to build "I had a governess once who had that sort of faith; it was a great comfort to her. But I sit here on my hillside, and It seems to me that spread out at my feet Is nil the Injustice and cruelty and hatred In the world. And your God allows It all. My father tried to believe—tried hard, but he said that when he asked for bread they gave him a stone." "Do you know who said that?" "My father." said Elinor. Rather surprised, he let It go at that. CHAPTER VI. Once again Elinor surprised him. "There have been few really great fcjaiaaoas In the world,** she said. "I cmld almost count them on my fingers. ftrjie rest of as seem to get along without.** ••Perhaps there are more than we fcear about. Every now and then. In a y work.

Alas for oU f|M..v"n «rfc# tad sot kept his! So great had the urgency of Boroday's position become thnt the band met at the hall on Thursday of the week after the country-club affair. Lethbridge was to get his Instructions; Talbot wished to discuss his prospect. After dinner, the night being warm, they had their coffee on the terrace. A summer storm had come up. All at once a flash threatened Saint Jude's. Huff leaped to his feet. "I've got it!" he said. "What Is It they call the big building back of the church?" None of the men knew. It was. as a matter of fact, the parish house. Lethbridge, however, knew Its function. "Fine prospect thnt!" he drawled. "That's where the Sunday school Is held, and where they*keep the plated knives and forks for the church suppers." "It's a darned fine building." said Fluff. "What would they do If It burned down?" They were too unfamiliar with church affairs to hazard a guess. Elinor, who had been sitting silent, suddenly voiced an objection to Buffs unspoken plan. "There must be some other way." she said. "The children—they have sewing classes and entertainments for the children there. It's the parish house." "If lightning struck the parish house tonight—" Huff said quite eagerly. "This Is Thursday. By Sunday morning they would be taking up a whacking big collection to rebuild It" The Idea had taken hold of his Imagination. Even the suggestion that a large part of the offertory might be In checks mattered not. But Elinor was obdurate. T o n can do it some place else," she said. "Not here. They struggled very hard to build the church and they need money now. Mr. Ward told me—** Huff turned on her jealously. "Ward—that's the preacher chap?" "He is the assistant rector." Elinor replied with dignity. "He's been coming here, then?" "Twice. Once when father died, and once to warn me against all of you." Not that she had forgotten that few minutes in the garden, under the moon; but that bad been an accident—hardly a call. Talbot chuckled. Bat Hnff was thinking hard. Elinor had been different lately, a Httle softer. Ward represented all that the men Elinor knew were not—<aw to their violence*.order to their disorder. There was almost a snarl in his voice. "He*d better stay down In his valley with his old women." he said. "and leave you alone. You don't need him." *Tm nnt so sure of that." Elinor replied quietly, and left him staring. . . . Huff burned the parish house the next night He did it himself, without the assistance of the hand. Into it he put not only the devilish Ingenuity of long experience, but his new hatred of Ward. Church ptuperty Is always easy of access. It was the work of fire minutes to crawl through a hi asm flit window uutl of half an hour to make his preparations. He looked at his watch when he hud finished. It was just midnight. In two hours, or before the fire began, he would be back in the city, establishing his alibi. The Are-whistles In the village wakened Elinor at something after three o'clock. All of her room was filled with the red glare of the burnlug parish house. Old Uenriette knocked at her door. "The church is burning down in the valley," she culled. "It's a grand sight." Elinor was throwing on her clothing. She must see Ward. She would sell her pearls. She would build a new parish house. She said this over and over to herself as she struggled down the hill. A new parish house, better than the old, with plenty of room for the children to play Inl At least It was night and the children safe in their heds; thank God for that! She was too disturbed to notice that she had thanked the God In whom she did not believe. The fire had gained too much head- I way to be checked. All the efforts of | the volunteer department and the small I engine were directed toward saving the church. For a time It seemed as If Saint Jude's must go. Elinor watched the destruction. It seemed as though a band had fastened Itself around her chest Then she saw Ward, He was on the ridge-pole of the church roof with a hatchet The ridgepole was burning slowly. She could see him chopping. From that time she never took her eyes away from him. Other men were there. She did not see them. She saw only Ward battling on the ridge-pole. and high above on the steeple the sturdy cross of his faith. Once the men on the street helow turned the full force of the hose on him. She saw him reel, saw him recover himself by u miracle. The fire glare died into the dawn. Saint Jude's was saved. Behind it in its pnrk the charred skeleton of the parish house showed how thoroughly young Huff bad done bis work. Not until Ward had descended safely to the street did rilinor relax. Ward found her sitting In one of the chairs along the pavement, her hair still lu Its loug braid, her feet thrust into slippers, her eyes red from loug staring. The fire engine wus being dragged away. The crowd had dispersed. Ward, blackened and depressed, was surveying the ruins with a heavy heart. He turned and saw the girl. Just at first he was not sure of her. He was always seeing her, mentally. Then he went toward her. his hand out. "You see," he said, "what un hour may bring forth!" And then. "You reckless child, here In slippers!" "I saw you on the roof," said Elinor, barely able to articulate. "Once I thought you had fallen." "They nearly got tue. It's rather sad. isn't it?" He stood, bareheaded lu the cool dawn, and surveyed the ruin. People meet great crises simply. She tried to find some word of sympathy to say. but what was there, poor child? She knew the true Inwardness of that disastrous night. So. with pathetic eyes, she turned away. "I'll go home now," she said. "I saw the glare—I- Quite suddenly her dps trembled. -1 should like to help vou with the new building." "Fine!" said Ward heartily. "We'll get to that before long." "If you had fallen—" Re was not listening. It came to her then how far apart they were. To her his falling would have been an end of all things; to him, it would have meant the beginning of a useful eternity. "If you wait a little. I'll run around and get my enr and rake you up." She sat down again, obediently. She was glad to be with him n little longer. Until recently, the work of the band had always seemed a vague abstraction. Now one of iis results lay before her. And there were other things fresh in her mind—old Hilary, dead of his revolt against law. and lying in state before an altar erected to a God he had not recognizid. And Ward, watching her windows t nd thinking her the embodiment of wl.nt a woman should be. Over her bitterness rose a hot wave of anger against Walter Huff. She had forbidden this thing and he had done it. NOTICE TO SICK WOMEN Positive Proof That Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Retteres Suffering.

Most men can at least declare there were four walls around them when they were | born Into the world, but even this poor Lincoln hardly could boast. General Grant is known in history, of course, as the commander-ln-chief of the Northern armies in the Civil war and eventually as president of the United States, but it may not be equally widely known that.

Prices in France [f^oDULued from iirst page] whiter and better and served fresh. Wine, next to bread, is essential a t the French table, and here one finds u sharp advance in cost. Before the war a bottle of fair vin ordinaire, either red or white, could be bought for t>0 centimes, or 12 cents. Today the same wine will cost ut least one franc, probably 1.25 and possibly 1.50, and a deposit must be left on all bottles because" there is a great shortage with bottle manufacturers working almost entirely for the army. And after one has paid five sous deposit on the bottle and returns it he usually receives only three sous back, the wine merchant explaining there is a charge of two sous for rental of the bottle. The better the wine the greater the increase in price, especially if it comes from Champagne or any other section in the zone of the armies where there are difficulties to the industry. Good dry champagne that cost 12 francs before the war now commands 18 or 20 francs, and the sweeter varieties are only a franc or so cheaper. Meat Price Doubled. Meat has doubled in'nearly every case, and in the exceptions it has increased mure than 100 per Cent. Pork takes the lead, a small chop often costing as much as 1 franc 50 centimes, nearly 30 cents. Sliced ham and bacon are marked at prohibitive prices, but then few French people eat them. Veal and Iamb are the favorite French meats, and they have both doubled in price. A roast of veal will cost from three to three and a half francs a kilo—two pounds and a quarter. Beef has soared like an airplane, costing four, five, and even six francs a kilo, and good quality is hard to find, even at that fabulous sum. Horse meat, which is rarely <-ttten even in the poorer districts, has advanced 20 per cent to two francs nnd a half a kilo. The usual sausages, pates, and other concoctions made from meat fragments are double the old marks on an average. Rabbits—always a French s t a p l e - have advanced 50 per cent, and chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys are double. A three-pound roasting chicken— broiling is unknown here—will cost 15 to 18 francs. Eggs, strictly fresh, cost 6 to 8 sous apiece, and since there is no cold storage in France the cheaper grades are likely to be strong and cost 4 or 5 <«ous each. Fish has advanced in price and achieved a two-day-a-week popularit;-, because on Mondays and Tuesdays i:c meat can '•*> served in restaurants, a/1 all liu; ' i ; ^hon>; are closed. t'hec - i c advanced vharply due to ' li .<>] ' ' ^ of milk, and the wonder! ul "pel if Suisse,'' which was 3 sous before the war, is 6 or 8 sous today. Brie, Ouuembert and other selected cheeses have doubled. Milk is up to 9, 10 and 11 sous a litre, but it is a heavier, creamier milk than one usually finds in New York dairies. Potatoes are sold by weight, and have doubled and trebled in price, fetching 12 to 18 sous a kilo at this time, although when the bulk of the new crop is in it »411 probably be reduced. Beans in all their varieties vie with potatoes as the popular vegetable, and Soissons, green beans, string beans, white beans and lima beans are hard to get and have advanced 30 to 40 per cent. Fresh tomatoes can be purchased from hucksters on the street at 12 cents a pound, but usually cost a franc—20 cents—in shops. Artichokes can be bought at 40 to 50 centimes apiece, but usually range around a franc. Salad, which before the war was so cheap, is now an expensive article. Lettuce enough for two or three persons could be bought for a couple of sous in 1914; today it will cost 8 or 10 sous. Romaine is also very high. Green peas have not advanced as sharply ns the other vegetables, but the demand is limited. Cheap and medium priced clothing for both men and women fcas advanced steadily in price during the last three years, with shoes showing the most pronounced increase, due to the leather shortage because of the army's demands. Ordinary high shoes for men which cost 22 francs before the war are now marked a t 30 and 88 francs. •--* * - •' ^ - Women's shoes, too, h a r e advanced as sharply. Good socks and stockings a r e almost impossible to find in Paris today. Contort ere* of the Rue de la Pats of world-wide reputation have not advanced prices much for robes, dresses and tailored suits, been a certain increase, but even be-' fore the war these "creations" were listed RO high that the artists who sell thera lock the nerve to boost the price higher. Due to High Wags*. Silk underwear, night gowns and boudoir robes have advanced sharply, as before the war these articles could be bought in Paris much cheaper than in New York. Today, owing to the increased wages paid to t h e girls who do the handwork, and -because of the advanced quotation for raw silk, prices are up a third. Women's tailored suits a r e also up, and it is a pretty poor garment that can be bought for less than 200 francs ($40) ready made. The Increased price for wool is given as the reason for this sharp advance, although the stringency in the dye market Is another cause. Mep's suits are 150 francs and up for anything worth having, whereas even a year ago a three-piece outfit could be purchased for 120 francs. Men's tailors are bending all their energies to making uniforms and their cutters have almost forgotten how to make civilian clothes. Before the war a good suit of clothes for a man could be picked up for 85 to 95 francs. Increased cost of gasoline and tires has caused a 25 per cent advance In taxicab rates. But the increase in tips is where the big advance has come. No chauffeur Is satisfied with 10 or 15 per cent of the amount registered. He won't accept less than a 50 centime piece, even for a short ride which registers say, 1 franc 25 centimes. Usually he expects the change out of 2 francs 75 centimes for such a 'haul. Horse cabs cost as much us automobiles, and the horses are so decrepit that one only rides in them for amusement, not really to get anywhere. Tobacco prices have been advanced BUT SHE IS NOT CHINESE Her clothes are Chinese—there is no mistake about that—and the pose is purely Oriental, but yet this girl sitting cross-legged on the table isn't Chinese at nil.

One of the peculiarities to be noticed i in connection with the twining of plants is the fact that with very few exceptions all the individuals of one species always twine in the same direction. Most plants twine in the opposite course to the movement of the sun or the hands of a watch. Such twiners are the morning glory, wistaria, wax plant, trumpet creeper and many others. Among those which twine in the opposite direction the hop and wild bindweed, or climbing polygonum, are familiar examples. South Iosco Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Whitehead and F.

The 40 per cent of the national army quota that is now arriving at Camp Custer probably will not recieve uniforms for a week or more as the work examining and mustering seems to be a long drawn out ^proceeding. No uniforms weatever will be given out until a man has finally passed the physical test and his name has been inscribed on the muster roll it was announced yesterday. A mistake that had a laughable sequence in some instances was made when the first arrivals came and soaae wer* given uniforms before jned<~ ited by a State inspector, under the teal examinations. A Bomber of these men failed to passand were comeqoantry turned back into civilian Mfe without gaining fall status in military life. Then it was discovered that these yeang men had thrown away their civilian clothing. As it is against the military regulations for one who is not in service to wear service uniforms, the officers debated over the matter at length but couldn't see how they could take the military clothing if a man didnot have anything else to wear. They decided that the only course was to send the men home in their uniforms and instruct them to return the uniforms as soon as possible. -Marshall News. The last legislature of Michigan passed an educational act by which all high schools must be inspected by the State Board of Education if they wish to collect tuition of non-resident students. This act was passed because of the pressure exerted by high schools on the legislature to raise the price of tuition to $26 a jear, claiming that $20 was too small a sum to pay for instruction offered. The committee of the house in looking into tha matter found that $20 a year was too small an amount in most cases but too large an amount in others. In order to make a raise in tuition justifiable the committee recommended that all inferior schools must raise their standard of equipment and instruction to meet the demands of secondary education.

Some of the requirements to be met with are, properly qualified and suffi. cient number of high school teachers; the moral tone of the community such as to insure the proper conditions for the location of a school; spirit of work and scholarship shown by the student body must be of superior quality; proper and sufficient apparatus furnished to demonstrate the various sciences taught; spacious library with sufficieut books to meet all reference work in the various subjects offered; course of study must be modern in all respects; sanitary conditions of buildings and grounds must be good. If a school faite to meet these standards they cannot collect any tuition from non-resident students, but if they do ihey can collect $25 a year from outside districts for each student who attends high school.

JACKSON CITY IS PLACED UNDER BAN ENLISTED MEN AT CAMP CUSTER ARE OROEREO TO KEEP AWAY FROM W E T TOWN. CLASS TRAINING (S STARTED More Advanced Men Are Being Qiven Special Instructioni — Lower Classes Follow Routine. La nam* Jackson has been placed under the bi.n of the authorities of Camp Custer. Balis ted men are forbidden to visit the town by an order of Gen. Dickman, though special passes for "exceptional cases" will be granted "to reliable men." No reason for the barring of men from Jackson is given, but it is understood that the city is undesirable because it has saloons. The state vice committee has also indicated Jackson ia a bad place for soldiers. The text of the order follows: "Organization commanders will publish an order forbidding enlisted men of their commands from visiting the town of Jackson, Mich., without permission, u.nd all men apprehended in Jackson by the military police or who are v> known to have been there in viola- \Jon of orders will be promptly •'brought to trial. Permission to en- X listed men to visit Jackson will be Custer Expects Negro Troops Soon. It is understood that the next increment of drafted men going to Camp Custer will include enough Negroes to form one regiment and an overflow. Some 3.000 colored boys are expected from Wisconsin and Michigan and if enough of them are left after the examinations to form the neuclus for a second regiment, Negro selects from one or two other states may be brought in to fill out the ranks Negro troops will be "comman'ed by Colonel Frye, but will be officered by commissioned men of their own color who will come from the Des Moines training camp. Battle Creek's Negro population plans to look after the selected Negroes as nicely as the war recreation board is looking after the white selects. Three Negro lodges, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, will have a joint meeting as soon as they are told when to look for the boys and will make elaborate plans for entertaining tnem. —J I i . The Real Test of Patriotism ^ granted only in exceptional cases, reliable men for business reasons, which cases written losses will given." to in be Start Training In Classes. Separation of the sheep from the t;oats has begun at Camp Custer. The 338th infantry has started to train the men by classes this week. They have been split for training purposes into three classes: A, or advanced; D, good, and C, the backward men. For the class' A men there are ihree hours of special Instruction divided between early morning and afternoon. Class B follows the schedule as issued by the war department, while class C will be held to the school of the squad until it knows them. The two lower classes will be advanced gradually. For the class A men the most interesting work is the special bombing ;md bayonet instruction. There will also bo signal classes, revetting classes, where the men are shown the methods of supporting the -ides of the trenches to keep them from caving in. Except for the three hours' work, fhe men follow the regular schedule. This does not provide for anything startling. Four hours of next week will be allotted to night work, and two hours to trench construction, but much of 'X is merely the repetition of work gone over under the last two weeks' schedule. Custer Men W i l l Be Made Officers. New ambition and hope for officers' rank has been aroused in the breast* of Camp Custer soldiers. This was caused by definite announcement by the war department of officers' training camps to train private soldiers for commissions. The schools will be opened Jan. 15. One will be opened in each division of the regular army, the National Guard and the draft army. This means that a school will be located at Camp Custer, or that one will be opened nearby for Camp Custer men. Any private between 21 and 40, a member of the regular army, the draft army or the Nat: cnil Guard, will oa eligible for the officers' schools. In addition, about ^,000 college men will be receivrd. Camp Cutter will be entitled to send about 1.7 per cent of her enrollment, or 700 men, to the officers' school. This will be only the beginning of Camp Custer's contribution to the officers of the land forces. When the army of 3.000,000 Is finally trained it must have 150,000 officers. Camp Custer's quota wi.l be upwards ot 5,000. Of course, many contingents will have come and gone m Camp Custer before the army of 3,000,000 is afoot, ~.nd her 5,000 officers havr tir d their ^cld-and-black hat cords. But already a definite chance of nonors Is offered the national army men. Seniority Rule Done Away W i t h . Promotion by senioiity is done away with in the Michigan National Guard. While it is in the federal s rvice promotions are to be made because of 'fitnese and capacity" only. This news, in a war department bulletin just pub'ished at Camp Mc Arthur, Waco, Texas, is soothing to several 51st officers, who, because of the breaking up of the regiment, lost their seniority. Furthermore, it sets at rest the rumor that theie would be no promotion of g-iard officers above the rank of captain. The new regulations provide for all officers up to colonel. While the officer* of the oil 31st oar© sealed down In th* 125th and 126th and are dsvoting their entire attention to learning and teaching the new mfitary game, some of the men have not so adapted themselves, espn. dally those of the comoanles that were split up. Requests for transfers Work On Heating Plants Rushed. Work on the heating plants at Camp Custer is being rushed but final completion is not expected till November 1st. All heating pipes which run from building to building are carried on poles, high in the air. It was necessary to adopt this course, in order to complete the installation befoic winter sets in. A vast amount of coal will be necessary to teed the boiievs. owing to the wastage of heat, but. thU was the lesser of the two evils, and the plan was chosen by the engineers for that reason. In the meantime most of the barracks, during the cold spell, have been uncomfortably cold, During the day the men did not suffer. The evening hours following their return to their barracks, however, were the ones when they felt the chill. The result was that the Y. M. C. A. building?, which are heated, enjoyed more than their usual patronage. Five hundred stove?, which had been ordered in anticipation of a cold snap, are being installed. The stoves are wood-burning sheet-iron affairs, capable of producing a large volume of heat. There is more than enough fuel to keep them all going until the steam plants are in operation. Sewage Disposal Plants at Custer. KalamazoD. Galesburg, Augusta and other towns lying below Battle Creek on the Kalamazoo river, which have been wondering what effect Camp Custer's sewage might have on their health, can now breathe easier, for the war department has qrdered immediate construction of two sewage disnoaal plants, and one of them is already under way, at the foot of the famous hill over which each of the 40.000 se- '_. \ m v " " 7"" lected men of the Eighty-fifth division kro coming In numbers, as comrades • were separated by the breaking up of j a * ° P a s s Each plant is a cement structure 100 the companies.

After being chemically treated the liquid will eventually pass into the Kalamazoo river. It will cost the govlittle Liberty Loan campaign.

NEW TAX RETURNS MUST BE MADE K M GOVERNMENT DEMANDS PROMPT FILING OF SCHEDULE8 BY A L L CONCERNED. NEARLY EVERYBODY AFFECTED Severe Penalties Are Provided For Failure of Any Person or Firm to Make Returns Required. Washington—Notice to the public to make its tax returns to the government under the new war revenue law has been issued by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper in an interpretive statement of the law's operation. Warning was given that in no case would the government take the initiative in getting in returns, although all returns would be verified, and that everybody concerned should communicate promptly with the nearest revenue office. Penalties to Be Enforced. Persons failing to make returns, Mr Roper announced, will be regarded as tax slackers and penalties will be enforced against them. As outlined in the statement, the following persons are affected, and must make returns to the government: "All Individuals receiving incomes of inor6 than $1,000 a year. "All corporations, joint stock companies and associations. "All distillers, rectifiers, wholesalers and retailers, holders of distilled spirits intended for sale or to be used for manufacturing purposes. "All dealers in fermented liquors or malt liquors, wines, cordials, liqueurs, domestic and imported. Affects Almost Everybody. "All dealers in soft drinks, tabla waters and carbonic acid gas, snuff and cigarette papers. "All carriers of freight, express or passengers and all operators of pipe lines. * "All dealers in life, marine, Inland, fire and casualty insurance. "All manufacturers and wholesale dealers in im-tor vehicles of every kind, musical .'nstruments, motion picture films, jewelry, boats, sporting goods, perfumed, cosmetics, medicinal preparations, cbewing gum and cameras. "All proprietors of amusement places, including cabarets. "All persons executing legal documents of any type. "All traders on produce or stor-ts. exchanges and boards of trade. "All importers of merchandise. "All manufacturer* or importers of playing cards." Severe penalties are provided for failure upon the part .of any person, firm or corporation tc make the correct inventories and returns required Your Liberty Bond Can Be Kept Free of Charge in State Treasury Vaults Lansing—State Treasurer Samuel Odell announced that any person who purchases a Liberty bond and wants it kept in an absolutely safe place, may send it by registered mail to the state treasurer in Lansing and the bond will be locked up in the vaults of the state treasury. Any person sending a bond to Lansing for safe keeping will be given a receipt and may take the bond out at any time. Mr. Odell believes this arrangement will be highly- satisfactory to many purchasers who do not want to go to the expense of renting a safety deposit box in a bank. * * «1 « * * * *: V • * • * SPECIAL SESSION OF COKGPSS ENDS ADJOURN* W I T H COMMENDATION AND CONGRATULATIONS OF PRESIDENT WILSON.

Is Washington—The proposal to examine for military service all men registered for the army draft and not yet called, was killed, for the present at least, when the house and senate conferees eliminated an appropriation for the purpose from the war deficiency bill. The conference report then was promptly accepted by the senate. This plan waa suggested by the proroet marshal general's office In order that every registered man might know whether he waa liable for service, and If so, the ectaal order of hit liability.

Elinor, iu a beautiful home on a hill In the suburban village of Wofflnnhain. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except ihnt the faiher was quite wealthy, and the daughter, very mood looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of aa anarchist hand, composed of Huff. Boroday. Tulbot and Lethbridjje, that robbed the nch and jmve to the poor and oppressed.

In view of her attitude, there seemed to be nothing to do. "We'll give it up. of course," said Lethhridpe. nfter a pause. There laid never been any drinking in old Hilary's house. Only abstainers were ever taken into the hand. But it was the custom of the two older men to remain at the table over their cigars, giving Waiter and Kllnor a half-hour together.

Leaf nioiu 4M u valuable manure in many Instances, especially on heavy soils, and one of i he most Important Ingredients for. the soil used m the suoce«stul cultivation of the majority of plants. It ui/iy be used freely, particularly with the tender s e e d l i n g s and cuttings of soft wooded objects, provided it be of good ipiality and free from injurious fungoid growths. ' The pioduction of roots in young plants of this description is Induced ami ncuelei aled with more eel taint,v by plantljig in this material than hi Ihe n<e of any ot her. The qualify of leaf mold depend* very materially upon the sort of leaves composing it and In the manner ot preparation adopted. It is found from experience that the best leaves are those collected from H wood or olh'T place where the principal l i v e s are beach and bark, and where their leaves fall over a large area every year, and naturally d e e a ) slowly, until those beneath I he surface become changed Into a light amid. In many instances such leal mold cannot be obtained on account of the necessary removal of the leaves to preserve t i d i n e s s ; but on the other hand its importance and additional value over that artificially prepared Is not sufficiently recognized in many place* where quantities aught be obtained iu the woods. Leaf mold of good quality tuny be used to the extent of alnnit one-thin) In cotn]»osts for azaleas, g r e e n h o u s e rhododendron*, and many tine-rooted hard-wooded plants of this description It may also with a d v a n t a g e be incorporated along with peat in the p r e p aration of beds for nearly all plant* of i h e heath family which are grown nut of floors. :d Leaves and Grass.

Further, nothing Is better for Improving the flower beds, or for adding to soil of any description for placing around trees, shrubs or plants w h o s e roots it is desired to encourage. If leaves have to be gathered Into a heap for leaf mold, a place should be selected where they may he - p t v a d rather thinly, so a s to avoid a n y excessive beating by fermentation. T h e whole shiaihl be turned o v e r occasionally so as to expose all parts In turn to the iniluence of the w e a t h e r Mid air.

Water may be applied artificially for the purpose, hut It never has the s a m e effect as rain, and If a large heap is made, this latter cannot penetrate far into the interior. Leaves should lie collected free from sticks, if possible, as those are liable | to encoiituigc fungoid growths, which, finding a suitable medium for increasing the leaf mold, will !n due course render It useless for plan! cultivation. T h e time taken In reducing leave* to a mold or fine soil depend* greatly on the amount of turning over and <»ih er attention devoted to ihe preparation.

Harbor Beach, Mich—Five persons, including one wonnn, were drowned, ani three others were rescued in a heroic manner when the barge Athens, loadei with 3.500 tons of soft coal, broke in two and foundered in a gale and blinding hailstorm, 25 miles off Southampton, Out., in Lake Huron, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. After circling about the wreckage of the birge for nearly two hours, and maluntj five unsuccessful attempts, Captain Frank Sinnott, commanding the tug Lucknow, which had the barge in tow, rescued three members of the barge's crew, who were in the Athens' yawl. Handicapped by darkness and storm, Captain Sinnott found it impossible to rescue the four men and woman who were lost. He kept close to the wreckage as long as possible, in fact of the danger of being rammed by the floating hull, but finally had to clear away. tho*e drowned are: M.,J. Starkey, captain, Tonawanda, N.

He asserted that the "war party" besides carrying on a campaign of "libel and character assassination" against members of congress who roted against the war, was attempting to suppressed discussion *t war issues and intimidate the people themselves by invading their homes and unlawfully throwing them Into jail. Characterizing the attacks upon him as a "general campaign of vtllitfcatJon and attempted intimidation," * L a Follette defiantly shouted. r "Neither the clamor of the mob nor /the voice of power will ever turn me by the breadth of a hair from the oorse I mark ont tor myself, guided by •vch knowledge as I can obtain tad controlled and directed by a solemn conviction of right and duty.** Whatever may be the opinion of members of the United States senate so to the recent utterances of Seantor La Follette, and in spite J t the feet that the sub-committee h u m e t e d to t**—*** those utterances is comof men unfavorable to the Whv senetor, It is anlfkely thai Le FoOette wffl be expelled from the sen- Temperance fConducied by the National Woman'* Christian Tetnyeram e Union.) "WHY K I L L THE GOOSE?" A cartoon Issued by the publicity department of the liquor trafficker* 19 entitled, "Whj Kill the Goose?" saya Prof. John A. Nichols in the Union Signal. It represents a fat goose, labelled, "Internal iteveuue." Its three eggs, ure very conspicuous, but an ax marked, "Prohibition," is in dangerous proximity to its neck. Well, there are many reasons why the goose should be killed. In the first place, the cost of feeding it is too great What would you think of a farmer that kept a flock of geese at a cost ten times greater than the amount realized from the eggs produced? If, when his attention tiad been called to the matter, he tried to defend his position by telling you how much he obtained from the sale of the eggs, and spoke of it as a profitable transaction, you would at once consider him a fit subject for some kind of mental treatment. For many years Uncle Sam has been that kind of farmer. But skillful mental treatment, in the form of scientific and economic facts, having been administered to him for some time, he is beginning to show signs of sanity, and we hope ere long this expensive and • dangerous goose will no longer find pasture on Uncle Sam's farm. PROHIBITION PROHIBITING. From The State, daily newspaper of Columbia, in dry South Carolina, comes this testimony: "For weeks the city has been thronged, especially at ulght, with workingmen, many of them white and hundreds of them negroes, but there is little or no evidence of disorder and practically none of drunkenness in the streets. "With the count.-y engaged? in war and with the nerves of the people at high tension, with money abundant, with soldiers better paid than ever before, with wages hijh and with an Immense transient population, the Columbia of 1917 presents such a contrast to the Columbia of the Spanish-American war that those who remember that time could hardly believe it to be possible if they did uot see it before their eyes. 'What the future of the whisk) traffic shall be It is not worth while to discuss, but it is the simple truth thai prohibition Is prohibiting and the old argument to the contrary, so long re lied on by the whisky donlers, is, foi the present at least, discredited. Whoever says that prohibition will not prohibit is heard with derision." POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK. The Brewer and Malter: The reason why a beer saloon is a success Is because a man can drink a large quantity of beer without getting drunk. He can stick around and talk or play cards for the greater part of an evening and go home sober. He cannot do that and drink whisky. That Is why a whisky saloon Is not a success. Midas Criterion (champion of distillers: Any man who has had any experience In drinking knows it is possible to get exactly as drunk on beer as on whisky. If we were to decide between the merits of the beer drunk and the whisky drunk, we would say candidly that the mushiest and sloppiest kind of a drunk in the world is the beer drunk. PIANO 8 A L E 8 INCREASE. According to traveling representatives of Eastern piano manufacturing eonverns who have recently been in San Francisco, says the Musical Times, piano sales in the western states that have joined the dry ranks show marked increase. T h e / report that business in Colorado, Arizona, Washington and Oregon was never better and that retailers; many of whom opposed prohibition, are now heartily in favor of the change. More pianos are being sold, ft is asserted. Initial payments are larger, collections are much better and fewer instruments are returned. IN T H E CITY OF 8EATTLE. The prohibitory law of the state of Washington went Into effect January 1,1916. Of buildings occupied the last day of 1915 by 211 saloons, ten are now occupied by drug stores, haberdasheries, women's specialty shops and the like; 56 by d f i r , candy and soft drink places; 14 by groceries and meet markets; six by confectionery stores; 19 by cafes, bakeries and the like; 20 vacant for repairs, or because building is too poor for bust new. for A GOOD RULE.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Oct. 18th, )917 No. 4 $6,000 in Gov. Bonds Has Already Been Sold Large Crowd Attends Patriotic Rally Uncle Sam Needs 10,000 Stenographers and Typewriters at Once A fine crowd turned out Moaday evening to the Patriotic Rally held at the schoolhouse here, and considerable patriotism was shown, as at the close of the meeting there were thirteen requests for bonds. Lewis Howlett of Howell was the' speaker of the evening and! gave a fine discourse, inciting those who had money not in use, to loan the same to the V- S. in her time of need. This is not asked as a donation but as a loan. The government will pay 4 per cent interest, the bonds are non assesable andj non taxable and though you might be able to get 6 jer cent interest in other places, it surely- ought to be worth the difference to be a patriotic American citizen instead of a slacker. According to Mr. Howlett, the man who has the money and will not loan it to the gov* srnment at this time is much more of a slacker than the boy who refuses to register, as he thinks, to save his life, and which is punishable by imprisonment. The man keeps his money because he is stingy and goes unpunished. The share of the Liberty Loan assessed to Putnam is $17,500. $1,000 in bonds has already been sold and the rest must be raised before Oct. 27th It was suggested by Mr. Teeple that the school buy a bond of $50, the money to be raised mostly by the pupils. He also said that bonds could be purchased at the Pinckney bank on the "dollar down and dollar a week" plan. He also requested that those in the township baying bonds would buy them at Pinckney so that Putnam Township would receive the credit. There was some talk of oeganizing to raise the remaining $11,500, but was not thought necesaary by Supervisor Reason. The following program was rendered: Soldier's Chorus—High School Music—High School Orchestra Song—Primary Room Song—Intermediate Room Address—Mr. Lewis Howlett Solo—Delores Richardson Recitation—Marintha Docking Solo—Madeleine Bowman Michigan Chorous—High School Short Talks—G.

The manufacturers uad shops have prepared for a rush seasou. It is their own expression that they are actually scrambling for a supply to meet the demand. The French gowns are here. New American gowns are not only exploited, but tremendously admired anA approved. The effects of those who have taken the French silhouette and built gowns in their own workrooms, made of American materials, should be commended in an entire chapter. Some of the best houses iu this country have tried out experienced designers uud colorlsts in producing several hundred go^ns that are first cousins to the French in that they express the adopted Paris lines. Each of the designers gives full tribute to the fact that Paris has laid down the lafws for the season; but every designer boasts with honest pride that the clothes are the product of American study and workmanship. In every case, the houses that showed these American gowns called upon their experienced French workers to produce them, and the only ones that were .successful were the gowns that had been given into the hands of those who had studied the Paris methods with reverence and earnestness. The result was that the clientele of these houses saw extraordinarily good drapery, the combination of alluring colors and an excellence in tailored suits that we are led to believe is purely American. The Colors That Prevail. The silhouette has been established. Every woman now knows that her .skirt is to be narrow ;md her coat iong or short, provided it dines to the figure. She knows that top coats are as important as frocks and that ' some of the best tailors offer wily sport suits and top coats to wear over thin one-piece gowns. She also knows that soft materials take precedence over stiff ones; but she has not exactly classified the various colors, fabrics and accessories that she must accept or avoid. These are vastly important matters to the average shopper. True, there is a class of woiarn who go to expensive houses that handle only a few of the most fashionable pieces of apparel and offer nothing that can lead one into the wrong path ; but this ', class remains an exclusive one, and what they do or do not do is not always a guide to the mass of women who must fight out the battle of ' clothes in their own way and to whom [ victory Is vital. i Take colors. Who does not feel | perplexed and confused on entering a shop where humlfcds of colors are dashed upon the vision and offered as the latest thing? o n o feels that n gigantic kaleidoscope has been run before the eyes. The brain refuses and not mauy are available for the woman who has not many social opportunities to display a variety of clothes. To begin at the beginning of the color scheme: Midnight blue holds its own. Black Is in demand by those who want to dress well In the afternoon and evening, but it does not hold a high place for street suits or frocks. Dark Green Rivals Blue. Dark green Is a serious rival to dark blue, and the French dressmakers who exploited it last year are now reaping a reward because the public is accepting It. Know yourself well, however, before touching any tone of green. If you're picturesque, you can wear it in any one of the shades that are variously known as jade, Egyptian and lettuce. The woman who can wear jade clothes and jewelry has a successful season before her, for many of the best materials are woven In this alluring but difficult tone, and the Ori- WnLssV J|k OKP!lr^ *|j jj^^^Hnflnn^B9BsnsM\ •&1 >*-/ / The material In this evening gown Is heavy brocaded satin, the odd bodice in dark blue with t girdle of pale gold dotted with Jet bead*. Skirt of pale fold with flower* In blue, gold and to work. The judgment la suspended. O M foes oat of the shop with a resttag that it U futile to try to bay dotbee and with a dealre to let the seaeoe anoa. It it this discouragement that ears of the women who s a t to net their new apparel as ao folded by the fact that •re raafiy hi This Helmet of Navarre is made of tete de negre velvet, with visor faced with white satin. It is trimmed with two large silver buckles. ental shops are filled with bits of fine Jad;1 made into earrings, hair combs and necklaces. There are fans of peacock feathers with jade sticks and also buckles of the Chinese quartz for slippers. Soft £old-tissue gowns are embroidered with jade beads, in the Byzantine fashion. Ked flickers through the color scheme or bursts upon the vision like the flame from the artillery at the front. It is against the accepted psychology that the colors of war should be exploited while war is on. It is better to be sane than foolish when one approaches the subject of red In clothes. The scarlet danger sign should be put over all the counters where red fabrics are placed, and it should be worn by the mannequin who parades in a red gown. It Is the color of conflict; It Is not the color of peace. The woman who can wear it well is thrice blessed, sartorially speaking, and she Is apart from her. neighbors, because she Is a rare type. None of this applies to dark red. No danger sign is needed against the rich wine surface that brings out what is best in a woman's complexion and eyes. These well-known burgundy shades are offered. They come in duvetyn, serge, satin, velvet and and Rodier's weave of the so-called Bo*- llvia cloth, which the American weavers are imitating In a successful way. An Epidemlo of Gray. The world has gone on for a century or two feeling that gray is the tone of sadness and that its Quakerish ugliness must be avoided. It has been a difficult color for decades. Women have adopted it only when the silver sheen on its surface made it possible. This season, however, ail doubts are dispersed by the superior tones which the dyers have imparted to the various fabrics grouped under the elastic name of gray. There is moonlight gray, which may spell peace, but it is in close proximity to artillery gray, which stands) for death. There is the gray of granite and the gray of London smoke. There is the gray of a New England sea mist, and there is the tone that one gets from the glitter of cat stoaL Those grays are not used alone this season. They are combined with horizon and Ohtnaas bine, with jade and with tnceadU red. M. C. FLYER HITS AUTO; KILLS SEVEN MACHINE DRIVEN DIRECTLY IN PATH OF TRAIN—DRIVER WAS WARNED. Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble OCCUPANTS ALL DETROIT PEOPLE Approach to Crossing is Clear On Both Sides—Similar Accident Occurcd Last Thursday. *• 0 .Mrs Mrs. Mary Detroit—Seven Detroit persons were killed Sunday afternoon when an automobile they were driving was struck by a Michigan Central passenger train at Hartsig crossing, 11 miles north of Detroit. The dead are: Joseph J. Pohl, 40 years old; Joseph J. Pohl, 36 years old; George Harvey, 34 years old; Harvey, 1 year old, and Thomas Harvey, 3 years old, children of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey. Ralph Pohl, 3 years old, and Helen Pohl, 5 years old, children of Mrs. Pohl. The party, which had left Detroit in the afternoon to purchase poultry, was returning to the city, and approached the crossing from the east. The car was driven by Mr. Pohl. Occupants of another automobile preceding the Pohl car crossed the tracks, and according to Charles Van Dam, a farmer lad who witnessed the tragedy, warned Mr. Pohl of the approaching train. The automobile continued, however, at about 20 miles an hour, it is said, and ran directly into the path of the flyer. Supervisor Hartsig, whose home ia near the crossing, says that the side curtains of the machine were attachd. Hr saw the crash and rushed to the scene. Mr. Hartsig believed one of the women was alive and rushed back to the house for water. On returning he found her dead. Three of the children were taken from the pilot of the engine. They died before reaching Mt. Clemens. Other bodies were picked up 10 to 12 rods below the crossing. The crossing which is two miles soufh of Warren village in Macomb county, has a clear approach from either side. At the same crossing where the fatal collision occurred Sunday, a truck from Rosebud Creamery company was struck by a freight train last Thursday. Two men were seriously hurt at that time. It ia now conceded by physicians that the kidneys bhuuld have more attention aa they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such a* lame back, annoying- bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound' that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's SwLmp- Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is pure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist. However, if you wish first to test thin great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure end mention this paper. Adv.

CRAMPTON ASKS COAL FOR STATE Wires Washington That Michigan Must Have Immediate Relief. Lapeer—Failure of the government ) to fix a price for Michigan produced coal is blamed by Rep. Crampton for the high prices at the mines in this Btate in a telegram he sent to Harry A. Garfield, national fuel admiistrator at Washington, in an effort to relieve the shortage here. "Industries are threatened and in many homes in my district there is actual suffering because of the lack of fuel," a part of the telegram reads: "Lapeer is typical of many small cities in Michigan; not a pound of coal of any kind is available here for sale and numerous homes are without fuel of any kind. Michigan operators are taking advantage of the necessity and demand extortionate prices for their coal, $5.75 at the mine being a recent quotation." Rep. Crampton suggested that if factional political fights is holding up the appointment of fuel administrator for Michigan, factional politics should be placed on the scrap heap. He stated no section of the country is in more dire need for fuel than this. POLAND'S FLAG TO FLY IN FRANCE Poles From All Parts of World Asked to Join Colors.

"Not much wrong- with him, I should say," laughed the doctor, pinching his red cheeks. "It's about his appetite, doctor," said the boy's aunt in a low tone.

"I want you to give me something to make his appetite less. He'll eat me out of house afore his month's holiday Is up if his appetite ain't cut -down !" Money Talks. "Reginald Grabcoin asked me to marry him last night," said Miss Gadder. "I've never heard a more eloquent proposal in my life." "Did he use flowery language?" "Oh, no.

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS It Is desirable to save one's seeds, not only as a matter of economy, bat as a means of Improving the variety. In a collection of annual plants, all from the same stock of seed, there will be considerable variety presented. Some may vary from the general stock In the size or color of the flower and others in the habit of the plant. These peculiarities are nof~certaln to be reproduced, but the probability is that some of the seeds from such plants will show them ; and by following a course of selection one can in a few years establish a variety that will come constantly true from seed. It has been found in practice that though a peculiarity may not show itself very strongly the first year, it will manifest itself the next year if the grower perseveres. It is well to mark those plants, the seeds of which are to be saved, while the plants are in full bloom, and not trust to memory. In a bed of plants from which seeds are to be saved, promiscuously, nnd when it is desirable to have all one color, those of a different shade from the required, must be pulled out as soon as they show themselves. Some seed pods open with a jerk as soon as ripe and scatter the contents for a distance. Some open by a hole or crack, and us the plant Is swayed by the wind the seeds are gradually sifted nut. In oilier cases there Is no provision for the scattering of the seeds, but the fruit of seed vessels must d*cay before they are liberated. It is not necessary to wait until seeds are dead ripe before collecting them. A little experience teaches one to know the point at which it is safe to gather. Those seed vessels which in breaking scatter the seed, should be gathered just before they open, and be allowed to pop under some convenient cover. As soon as the seeds are gathered, put a label with them, and when they are thoroughly dry, clean and store them away. The manner of cleaning seed Is va« ried. according to circumstances, sifting, gently winnowing, rubbing between the hands being resorted to according to the kind of seed. A series of small sizes of mesh will accomplish 'roost of the work. these to the bottom. Nymphae is a hardy lily and the culture of it is not a problem which presents grave difficulties. Before the baskets have rotted away the plants will have attached themselves to the bottom of the pond. Where there is a rich, muddy bottom to the pond a piece of pipe is fastened to a root and cast In where the water Is between 20 Inches and two feet deep. While lilies thrive In cement tanks which have a foot of soil nnd the remainder for water, the natural element for them Is the mud of ponds and lakes. Lilies have certain enemies that have to be reckoned with. Rats, pwans and aquatic birds often pull them to pieces. If you are planning a water garden as a means of raising lilies, select a place open to the sun renewed by a small inflow and protected from rough winds by a protection of shrubs or small trees. WATER LILFES By L. M. B E N N I N G T O N . No more interesting adjunct to a country estate from a pictorial standpoint can be imagined than a pond of water lilies. So far as the planting goes, an easy method is to put the plants with soil in some shallow baskets and sink Plant Iris in beds in the open as soon as the bulbs are received in the autumn. Protect the beds during the winter months and early In April cover them with glass so as to have the flowers ready for cutting In May. TRY CYCLAMEN Among winter-flowering plants there is nothing more beautiful than the bulboua greenhouse plant, the cyclamen. They come highly recommended for house culture, as they thrive well and bloom profusely in the average temperature of the living room. Their quaintly formed flowers and oddly marked foliage, and their variety of shades and wealth of coloring mnKe them an agreeable adjunct to the list of house plants.

NEXT DRAFT CALL DUE ABOUT NOV. 1 A U T H O R I T I E S B E L I E V E IT W I L L T A K E U N T I L T H E N TO GET Q U A R T E R S R E A D Y . WOOL UNIFORMS HAVE ARRIVED Enough W i n t e r Clothing Now On Hand to Equip Entire 36,000 Quota Assigned to Camp Custer. Lansing. Michigan's third Increment of selected men will not be ordered to report at Camp Custer before November 1, in the opinion of military -authorities who are making the arrival of new men contingent on the completion of b a r r a c k s and the installation of heating plants. The naming of the exact date lies with Major Dickman, but as previously announced, he will not say the word until he has every assurance that the men will be comfortably housed. The buildings are all well under way, but a number of heating plants remain to be installed. The quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t is prepared to equip the men as soon as they arrive. Woolen U n i f o r m s For All At Custer. There are enough uniforms—woolen trousers and blouses, overcoats, hats, shoes and all at Camp Custer now to equip the entire 36,000 men assigned to this cantonment, and there are enough woolen blankets to give each man of the 36.000 three and still h a r e some left over. This news, which will be of considerable interest to the 19,000 young men -from Michigan and Wisconsin who will come to Battle Creek soon with the third and fourth i n c r e m e n t s of selects, was given out by Captain M. M. Garrett, head of the quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t in response to inquiries. Many of the selects are wearing khaki trousers and woolen blouses, but it is not because woolen trousers are not on hand. The weather does not necessitate heavier trousers, the quart e r m a s t e r s believe, and since blouses outwear pants in military life, the plan of withholding woolen trousers is one strictly of conservation. Recently 18,000 comforters were distributed, in addition to the blankets. Though these are not "regulation," there is no disposition to take them from the selected soldiers, even in the b a r r a c k s that are now strain heated. Selecting Selects at Custer. They are, now selecting the selects at Camp Custer. Men found especially equipped for special duty are being assigned to places where the full m e a s u r e of their ability may be utilized. In the sanitary train, for example several men were found who have had training in engineering. In one of the engineer regiments was a man who had had several years of hospital work. Through the readjustments, the engineers land with the engineers, the hospital men with the hospital units. Last of State Troops Gone. W i t h o u t ceremony and with less than 100 people to'bid them God speed, the h e a d q u a r t e r s company of the Thirty- third Michigan infantry left for Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., last week. This company was t h e last of rhe Michigan troops to leave foi the s o u t h e r n training camp. The regimental headquarters have been at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, since early last s-prirg, when the troops returned from the Mexican border. The other two stMe regiments were immediately mustered out but the T h i r t y third has been ioing guard duty about thf >fate. One nattalion ha<- puarded the Camp Custer cantonment r*rom the first. This work is now being done by the new draft soldiers. Iron Discipline Urged. Warning officers of the Thirty-second division now in training at Waco, Texas, that the time had come when the personnel of the division gradually must be brought to a state of hard dis ciplme, Captain Allan L. B n g g s , aide de camp, who has seen hghting on the French front, pointed out that once a man is trained in the mechanical fun damentals of modern warfare the do in inating idea that will save him in hit hour of trial is the spirit put into him by his commanders. "Coddling in the army must cease," he said, in a speeach to the officers "In a serious emergency, the company trained on the weedle principle blows up like a toy balloon. "The compelling idea that will save a man when he needs to be saved must be given him by his company comman der. The soldier must have a leader for his soul as well as for his body What his thoughts are about courage patriotism, fidelity, cheerfulness under great suffering, cannot be left tc chance. Stray standards picked up at random must be replaced by the stand ards of an efficient morale. " T h e r e must be a true estimate ol the relative value of the nobler quali ties of manhood, and these, by speech and example, must be inculcated intc the soldier by the man who carries his life in his hands." Draft Men to Go South. It is estimated about 5,000 Michigan and Wisconsin men who had expected t o go to Camp Custer will go sou'h I n s t e a d . Camp Pike, near Little Rnck, Ark., will be their training ground T h e c a n t o n m e n t plans of the war d e p a r t m e n t have been changed by the £TS*viu«? of some .v.. ti«>: al Army men to fill up the Nation i Guard units T h e a r r a n g e m e n t s for the negro t -oops Also h a v e rev|U*re:i somfi r e - a r r a n t men* of the cantonment?. Though a b o u t 5 000 Michigan and Wisconsin men *re o ao to C a m ) T.ke, it is not thought probable tb, ccntingent will be mad up from reen BOW in training By this arrangement Camp Custer's guests this y**r should bo 3l,ooo, instead of the M«000 tkat was first expected. Lies About Custer Laid to W o r k m e n . Attention of camp officials has been called to reports circulated that insanitary conditions exist in Camp Custer, that food has spoiled because of lack of ice, and that soldiers are underfed and overworked. The story was characterized as untrue in every respect and was laid a: the door of some workman, probably disgruntled at his discharge. "This camp is open for inspection by the public in its every deartment," said one of the high officials. "Thousands of people from all sections of the state visit the camp weekly and they have been and still are at liberty to investigate sanitary conditions. They may go into the kitchens and watch the food cooked, they may see the j men at mess and see what they eat. and they may talk with whomsoever they wish as to the character and | quantity of the food. j " T h e r e has been no scarcity of ice to preserve perishable goods, and in | a few weeks we will be manufacturing our own ice supply. The quarters i and men a r e inspected daily for sanii tary conditions and as for the soldiers ; being overworked their own condition speaks better than anything elr.e. "Most of the men have taken on weight since they came here. t "We have been compelled to discharge a number of inferior men who were agitators and were attempting to stir up trouble with satisfied workmen. Despite the fact that the wages paid here are the high' st in the state, there were ?ome so unpatriotic as to a t t e m p t to take advantage of the rush to f nrce them out of reason. Probably the author of the false reports is one of this class." CAMP CUSTER NOTES On company bulletin boards are notices from Washington asking that all food wastage be stopped. t Four tons of clothing discharged by incoming selected men will be sent to Belgium. Next of furnishing soldiers tobacco, letters from relatives, friends or even those who wish to be friends, are the most welcome gifts. Some of t h e prisoners In the guard house objected to taking a bath. They wer? held under a cold sbower and scrubbed with a none too »oft brush.

ALL TRAINING CAMPS AFFECTED Similar Orders Sent to Every Camp — P a r t W i l l F i l l Guard Ranks. Others Form New Divisions. " N e r v e s " B r i n g Men Discharges. Grim precautions are taken daily in Camp Custer to save America from one of wa's worst afflictions. This \ infliction is the increase in insanity , through shell-shocks and the destruction of mental equilibrium. England has been the chief sufferer among the allied nations in the number of those driven mad by battle. One of the stern sad warnings given Am erica by experience of her allies and j of Germany was the warning not to enlist the "mentally unstable." That is one reason why men have been sent home from Camp Custer from time to time. They are not all unsound physically And they are not unsound mentally. ' But they are "mentally unstable." They have shown after days of observation that they are not resilient ' enough for the strain and shock of war. Under war's pressure their minds would break. T h e r e are not many of these men but there are enough to show how the government surgeons are considering every contingency, and applying every sad lesson taught by the war. Sometimes the mental instability ' shows itself the first day. In fact, a few of the men sent to Custer were judged as actual mental defectives. But quite often, among men who are not defective, it takes several days for the lack of poise to reveal itself.

An additional 3,000 men from Camp Custer will go to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., to form part of the new Rainbow National army division recruited from selected men of northern and western states. A complete division of troops still will be left at Camp Custer. The orders to Gen. Dickman, at Battle Creek, to transfer the troop* was issued in conjunction with orders t o c o m m a n d a n t s of all of the 32 a r m y camps making similar shifts, the main purpose of the general tranpfer is to ' iv.nke room for training some of t h e Negro troops of the south in northern camps. The orders provide for a transfer of 78,500 men from the various cantonments. None of the Negroes will go to Battle Creek under present plans. Of the troons transferred from Battle Creek to Waco, 1,625 will be taken from the Michigan contingent and 1,- ?,!') from W i s c o n s i n It is presumed that the troops shifted to Little Rock will be divided similarly. 800,000 BUSHELS OF GRAIN BURN Intended f o r Shipment to A l l i e s — I n - cendiarism Suspected.

STATE OPENS FISH MARKET Game Commissioner Tries Out New Plan A t Lansing, Lansing—The first fish market to be conducted by the state in order to help out the high cost of living is being opened in Lansing this week under the auspices of the game commissioner, John Balrd. He announced several days ago that he had contracted with fishermen near Grindstone City on Lake Huron to t r a n s p o r t trout and whiteflsh here to try the plan. The fish are to net the fishermen 10 cents a pound so that the price in Lansing should be 12 or 13 cents. If the plan works in Lansing, Mr. Baird will have the next lot sold In Flint or Grand Rapids. Since the announcement of Mr. Baird permitting fishing for trout In t h e closed season only on statement t h a t the fish should be sold in the s t a t e at about 10 cents a pound, he h a s heard from many 'fishermen who want to fish under such regulations The trout season remains closed for the rest of this month while the whiteflsh closed season will begin November 10, and run to December 15. Mr. Baird expects to have his organization for the seining of many of the inland lakes ready in about two m o n t h s . The m a r k e t s at which the fish will be distributed will all be inland ones and the selection of them will depend largely upon the experim e n t s in selling fish within the next few weeks. Washington—Lessons drawn from Great Britain's experience in dealing with labor problems during the war are being communicated personally to American labor leaders and employers by four officials of the British ministry of munitions, who have started this week on a tour of American cities, including Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, New York and Boston. The delegation, headed by Sir Stephenson Kent, director of the labor supply d e p a r t m e n t of the munitions ministry, m a k e s the trip at the request of the council of national defense and several state councils, to discuss particularly the distribution and efficient employment of labor ,and to answer questions concerning Briti. methods of avoiding strikes, preventing excessive shifting of men from plant to plant or industry to industry, and suspending minor union regulations for the w a r emergency, without endangering the labor movement's future. New York —Eight Hundred thousand bushels of grain intended for export and valued at more than $1,200,000 W a s destroyed Saturday night by fire in elevators owned by the New York Dock Co., in Brooklyn. P.eports of incendiarism in connection wi'h the fire were revived when Fire Chief Kenlon is-ud a s t a t e m e n t saying the cause of the blaze would be rJ^idiv investigated. "T!: :TP have been 56 water front fires in Now York city lately and it is improbab'e tlu>t all resulted from natural causes," Chief Kenion s a i l . Supt. Tommiins, in charge of the elevator, said that the fire was caused by an explosion inside the structure. He. said that the nature of this explosion warranted the suspicion of a bomb "planter" being responsible. , This theory was scouted by Fire Marshal Broppy who. after a preliminary •investigation, said that he believed an | explosion of."grain dust" had occurred.

Akron, Ohio—One h u n d r e d cars of coal consigned to lake ports for shipm e n t to the northwest were ordred seized here Saturday by Mayor W. J. L a u b to alleviate the serious local shortage. T h e cars contained about 5,000 tons of coal and are being distributed in Akron through local dealers. Mayor SchranU of Canton alto setted 1,000 tons owned by the Central Power Co. which furnishes that city with electricity. Detroit—Scores of Wyandotte residents were "gassed" when a large tank of chlorine gas exploded at the plant of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing company, near the southern city limits. One man, William Smith, Is dead. Whole families were overcome in their homes, while all persons in the s t r e e t s within a q u a r t e r of a mile of the scene of the explosion were overcome. Twenty persons were taken to the Ellbert Memorial hospital, Wyandotte, and the Ford Emergency hospital at Ford City. Many were revived in their homes. Ambulances were busy for an hour after the explosion removing the unconscious victims and administering first aid m e a s u r e s to those only slightly overcome. Washington—Food pledge week, set for October 21 to 27, has been postponed to the week of October 28 t o November 4 by Food Administrator Hoover, at the request of President Wilson, to avoid conflict with the final week of the second Liberty Loan drive. The president, in his letter to t h e food administrator, said it seemed undesirable in "the interest of both these capital m a t t e r s " t h a t they should be in motion at the same time, and laid emphasis upon the importance of enrolling the people of the nation in food conservation. Plans had been laid by the food ad ministration to have its 500,000 pledge campaign workers assist in the flotation of the Liberty Loan while enrolli ing families under the food adminis- ' tration and these will be carried out.

Pinckney, Livingston C o u n t y , Michigan, T h u r s d a y , Oct. U5:fi. 1917 No. 43 COMMITS SUICIDE Loss of Fortune Causes Former Pinckney Boy- John B. Fay to Take His Own Life Editor Pinckney Dispatch. Dear Sir: The Friday morning Chicago papers gave an account of the death, by his own hand at the Alexandria Hotel, of Mr. John B. Fay of the fity and formerly of Pasadena, Cal. , The incident has called to mind the] vritur's association with John in hia boyhood days some fifty years ago, j when we attended together the district j schools at the old red acheol house in rlast Pi.nrv.ni, Known as Hick's Corner, i He was a timid boy, gentle and con-1 "jircr and the older boys took advan-: tage of these characteristics and made him the " b u t t " of their many pranks, which at times made hi3 life miserable. | Many a time he has found his dinner pail empty at noon hour, and sometimes he would be robbed of some portion of his clothing which would be stored* away in the attic •• i the school house where access was difficult, but he suffered patiently and with perseverance - succeeded in getting a good education in the Michigan public schools and at Olivet College, and eventually becoming General Manager and later Vice President of the A. C. McOlurg Co. of Chicago, book publishers and whole-* sale dealers in novel.ti.es and stationery. He had virtually outstripped in his attainments all of his early playmates. He had accumulated s modest fortune of $150,000, which he lately lost in speculation in the West and whkh left him penniless. At the time of his death ha waa occupying a position with Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., a wholesale hardware concern, endeavoring to retrieve his lost fortune. He leaves a widow and daughter who are a t this time on their way to Chicago from Pasedena, Cal. We are sure the above will be of interest to your older readers to whom the memory of Mr. Fay will be directed by the statement that his brother waa drowned in the Pinckney Mill Pond about the yaar 1865. He lived with a Mr. Keyes who owned the William Henry Placeway Farm weere he worked for his board. Yours truly, F. L. Brown. Miss Ida G. L. dark The news was received Friday morning, of the sudden death of Miss Ida G, L. Clark, a patient of the Eastern Hospital. She waa born in the Township of Putnam, Michigan, March 10th, 1864; being the youngest of eleven children of Mr. and Mrs. Hagh Clark. Her mother, father, two sisters and one brother proceeding her to the great beyond. We shall miss her, but when we remember the years of intense suffering through which she passed, we would not, if we aould, call her back. The funeral services were held a t the home of her sisters, the Misses Eleanor and Edith Clark, Sunday p. m., Oct. 21, Rev. Jones officiating. W. H.

Kirkland, Wash. -Our community was saddenened last Thursday morning, Oct. j 4, at the announcement of the death of Will H. Sales who passed away after an illness of several months, at his home ! two miles north of Redmond. For the | past four weeks Mr. Sales has not been able to leave his home and had been under the care of an eminent Seattle Specialist and Dr. G. A. Davi<<, who lent their every aid for his relief. Death was due to Myocarditis. Mr. Sales was born at Pinckney, ] Michigan, on Feb. liith, 1>*;.", being j the youngest son of Mr. and Mr?. W. I W. Sales, who were pioneers in that j section, Pie attended the public schools ( in his own community and completed j his education in the Ho-.vell High School and later in the State Agriculture Col- ; [ege at Lansing, He taught school for \ three years and then entered the law ; olTice of Hon. Rollin H. Person, afterward Supreme Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan. Just as he was ready to be admitted to the bar, his father died and he was obliged to return home to take care of the farm, and thus vanished his cherished hope of following the legal profession. On Dec. 2oth, 1890, he waB united in marriage with Belle Dunbar, who survives him, together with one sister, Mrs. Nettie Sales Calkins, of Woodinville, Wash., one nephew, Postmaster H. Sales Reed of Redmond, Wash., and one neice, Mary Kirtland Engstrom, of Evanston, Wyo., all of whom were with him at the end. He came to Washington in 1901, and settled on the farm where he resided until his death. By dint of hard labor he had placed his farm 2h a high state of cultivation and recently completed a fine modern home. Mr. Sales was clerk of the Willows school district and took great pride and interest in all matters of local interest. He was a great temperance advocate, and as a young man took the stump for local ottion, and in the recent campaigns in this state to wipe out the liquor traffic, he was always ready to testify for temperance. He was rewarded by seeing the desired legislation in his adopted state. Mr. Sales was formerly a member of Livingston Lodge No. 76, F. & A. M. of Pinckney, Michigan, and later transferred his membership to Kirkland, Wash. The funeral sermon was conducted by Rev. C. E. Newberry, of Kirkland, assisted by the Masonic Lodge of Kirkland, who took charge of the body at the house snd conducted their beautiful and impressive ceremony a; the grave. Mr. Sales was laid to rest in. the Kirkland cemetery by the side of his sister, Mrs. Anna Sales Kirtland, whom he dearly loved, and who passed away fouJ years ago this month. The funeral cortege was the most extensive ever seen in this vicinity there being over forty autos in the procession. The whole oommunity united in paying , homage to the remains of a great and noble man, and bereaved relatives received the sincere sympathy of all who knew the deceased.—Kirkland News.

IS FIRST U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK Neither Submarine Nor Torpedo Was 8een—Ship Struck Squarely 8 i n k t in Five Minutes. Washington—Under convoy, homeward bound, the American army transport Antilles was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in the war zone October 17. About 70 men are missing and probably lost. All the army and navy officers aboard and the ship's master were among the survivors. The missing are members of the crew, three civilian engineers, some enlisted men of the navy, and 16 of 33 soldiers returning home for various reasons. Neither the submarine nor the torpedo was seen and the transport, hit squarely amidships, sunk In five minutes. This tragedy of the sea, the first in which an American ship engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of its magnitude to bring home to the people of the United States the rigors of the war in which they have engaged against Germany. It carries the largest American casualty list of the war, and marks the first success of German attacks on American transports. That the loss of life was not greater is due to the safeguards with which the navy has surrounded the transport service, and the quick rescue work of the convoying warships. Names of Lost Not Known. Secretary Daniels announced the disaster in a statement based upon a brief dispatch from Vice-Admiral Sims which gave few details and did not say whether it was a day or night attack. An accurate list of the missing cannot be issued until General Pershing reports the names of the army men on the vessel and the list of the merchant crew. Lacking details of the attack, beyond the fact that the submarine was unseen and the first warning to those aboard the Antilles came with the shock of the explosion of the torpedo, many theories were current as to how the U-boat crept through the destroyer screen, did its work and escaped unchallenged. The loss of the Antilles marks the first redaction of the transport fleet that has been operating. A very considerable number of American troops, workmen and others involved in the prosecution of the war have been carried safely to France and England, and the unsuccessful attack on the first contingent Is the only recorded previous Instance where the U-boats have succeeded even In catching sight of the vessels. BANK ROBBERS GET $31,000 Auto B a n d i t * Make Big Haul In T w o West Michigan Towns. Grand Rapids—Bank robbers in a daring automobile raid Saturday, cleared up $31,000 in two neighboring western Michigan towns, Alto and Middleville. The safe of the Farmers' State bank of Alto was blown open at 1:4") a- <m. and, according to bank officials, a. m. and, according to bank officials, $1,000 was taken. All telephone wires At 3:30 a. m. the Farmers' State bank at Middleville was robbed, cash to the amount of $20,400 being secured by the safeblowers. Indications are that the two banks were robbed by the same gang. Alto and Middleville are about 10 miles apart by automobile road. Three robbers drove into Middleville at 3:30 and after robbing the Blake department store of a number of blankets, blew the safe in the Farmers' State bank and escaped with $20,- 400 in cash, leaving $5,000 in a bag on the floor of the bank building. Five explosions were heard by the villagers but no one went to the scene until after the bandits had fled. The Job was apparently done by the same gang that recently robbed the bank at Climax, according to Sheriff Cornelius Manni, of Barry county. The men drilled a hole in the safe with an electrically driven drill and blew the safe, a modern strongly built vault, to pieces. WAR TAX BOOSTS TRAVEL COST Nine M e r c h a n t m e n and T w o British Destroyers Are P r e y — N o Aid Given D r o w n i n g Survivors. London—Two British destroyers and nine unarmed merchantmen was the toll which two extraordinarily swift and heavily arrne i German commerce ruiders took in a North sea battle last week, accordiiic; to an announcement made by the Bri'ish admiralty. The traditions of the British navy were fully sustained by ih? two Briti ish hornets of the seas ihe Mary Rose and the Strongbow. Outranged by the raiders' guns, outspeeded. they went into battle and fought to a finish with their formidable a n t a g o n i s t s - two pigmies against giants. Eightyeight officers and men perished on the Mary Rose and 47 on the Strongbow. The two German raiding ships slipped out of their harbor in the dark. They sped north, scouring tne seas for merchantmen bringing supplies to [England. Somewhere between the Norwegian coast—far to the northern boundry of the North sea—they came suddenly on a fleet cf Norwegian and Swedish merchantmen, convoyed by the two British destroyers. No Effort Made to Save Survivors. The battle was furious, but unequal from the start. The attack of the British ships, however, enabled three of the neutral merchantmen to escape. When the British destroyers were sunk, the Germans promptly proceeded to their assault on the unprotected and unarmed merchantmen. Five [Norwegian and three Swedish ships were sunk at once—without examinat i o n of their papers, without warning, | and without any regard for the lives jof passengers and crews aboard them, I Then the two marauders, fearing arrijval of British patrol boats, turned tail and fled, Not an effort was made to rescue survivors who struggled in the water. Two British vessels attracted by the sound of the gunfire, later picked up 30 Norwegians and others. A Christiania dispatch added that the admiral commandant of the Swedish navy had reported the rescue of 37 persons "from Norwegian and Swedish ships"—presumably survivors of the same German sea victims, A f t e r November 1, All T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Rates W i l l Be Raised. Lansing—After November 1 the cost of railroad, steamship and interurban travel, and express and freight rates will be increased to help Uncle Sam pay the $40,000,000 a day it costs to prosecute the war. Every interurban, steamship or railroad ticket costing 35 cents or more will be subject to a war tax of 8 per cent. For every 20 cents or fraction thereof it costs to send a package by freight or express, a tax of one cent must be paid and a 10 per cent tax is to be added to the amount paid for seats, berths and staterooms in parlor cars, sleeping cars or on vessels. The tax will be collected by the agent or by the conductor. Commutation or season tickets for trips less than 30 miles, or trips not exceeding 35 cents, are exempted from the tax. $100,000,000 BASE SN FRANCE U. S. W i l l Build Giant Depot to Supply Troops at Front. AQUIT ANTI-DRAFT WORKERS Grand Rapids Finds Eleven Not Guilty of Conspiracy Charge. Washington—YrTork of building an immense ordnance depot and arsenal base in France for the American army will start soon. A contract for its construction has been awarded. The great supply depot will be near the seaport "somewhere in France," on a spot which-has been turned over to the American forces for their exclusive use. Total cost of the enterprise will be about $100,000,009, it is expected. Machinery for the arsenal is already being delivered. The cost of this equipment alone is $6 000,000. More than 1,000 miles of standard gauge railway will be built from the base to the sector of front occupied by General Pershing's army. Engineering organizations, recruited largely from the staff of the Pennsylvania railroad, already are in France, preparing for construction work. Payment for the work will be on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent. BREAD PRICE IS CUT ONE CENT Detroit Baking Companies Reduce Cost of Large Loaf.

Owners of uncultivated lands in Western Canada are loud in their protests against un extra tax on their lands because they are not under cultivation. Western Canada, through its provincial governments, is endeavor ng to force the speculative laud owner to either sell his land to a settler or to cultivate it himself. At present a surtax of a few cents an acre Is levied ngainst all wild land, so that the owner of land held In its natural state, without improvements, is contributing more tuxes to the government than the owner of a farm that is cultivated and even improved with buildings and stock to the value of thousands of dollars In order to encourage the farmer to improve and to go into stock raising he is not charged one cent of taxes o n ' a n y of his improvements, implements or stock of any kind. As a result of this surtax on uncultivated or speculatively held lands, the owners are now trying to sell them to actual settlers, and, in nearly every instance, have been offering on very easy terras of payment, usually a quarter down, and the balance extending over a term of years at prices much lower than their productive value would warrant. A world-wide shortage in farm stuffs has given a new value to nil agricultural products and the margin of profit today is greater than ever in the p a s t It is true labor and implements have increased in price, but it is now possible to secure 50% profK in farming, and higher. Possibly not on the $100 to $200 an acre farm lands but on land that can now. under existing conditions, he purchased at from $15 to $30 per acre. Western Canadian farm lands are as productive as any in the world and can be as economically farmed. Wheat yields of from 30 to 50 bushels per acre have been common In Western Canada during the past few years, and the farmers have been too busy farming all they can so as to soli as much wheat as possible at $2.00 a bushel, that they have not had time to do any talking or writing. It is doubtful If there ever was such on opportunity to make big profits in farming. The value of each year's crop has been in hundreds of cases more than the market value of the land it was grown on. It Is unreasonable to suppose such a condition will last long, as the land now being forced onto the market by surtax on speculative owners will soon become absorbed by those who have learned of these highly profitable wheat lands. The news is spreading gradually throughout the high priced land districts in the United States, where there Is n renewed awakening to the realization that the maximum profit in farming is not being obtained when it is possible to secure from forty to seventy per cent return on the investment in Western Canada. Many who have been planning to visit Western Canada for the purpose of personally investigating conditions are leaving this month, when the good weather can be enjoyed. As threshing operations and marketing of grain Is under way, no better time could be selected to secure first hand and reliable Information from the farmers themselves. The winter months afford ample time for completing moving arrangements, to allow the settler to take up residence In early spring, so as to get something done next year and to make a start on the big and profitable farming operations In Western Canada.— Advertisement. An Aztec Grain. At the time of the Spanish conquest, an ivory grain, finer than mustard seed, was made into paste for molding into religious idols and was an important food in those times of scarcity of maize. This grain, known to the Aztecs as "huauhtli," was among the tributes paid by the pueblos to Montezuma. The botanical Identity of the seed was long unknown, but the collection of Dr. Edward Palmer in the states of Sincola end Palisco included flsh-egglike seeds of an amaranthus. The plant was found both wild and under cultivation, a paste of the seed and sugar being sold under the name of "suale." Dr. W. B. Safford of the department of agriculture has recognized In these specimens the sacred "huauhtlT of Montezuma's time, and suggests that this amaranthus might be cultivated in favorable situations. Clearly allied plants are cultivated in India, Tibet South America and Africa as grain crops* &?&& ''€r? Kirtland, O* win preserve bniUfinf used In 1849 as Mormon headquarters.

"He's single and very attractive, ray dear. The entire village is trying to marry him. There is talk of the doctor's daughter, a common little thing." When Bhe had gone, Elinor, a little faint and dizzy, went out on the terrace. She realized that the barrier between Ward and herself was not only of his faith against her unbelief. There was the insurmountable gulf between his world and her world. She did not fit into his life. Into his arm, perhaps; into his life—never. Walter would try to get the money. She must get word to him somehow, for if the Bryant pearl was recovered and Boroday given his freedom, money would not be an immediate necessity. She paced the terrace and tried to thick it out. For Talbot to go back to the city, an hour; for the delivery of the special delivery, another hour. Then the police would have to come out by train or motor. With the best of luck, it would be four o'clock before the pearl could be recovered. There were a dozen possibilities; the chief might be out of town; the pearl might be recovered from the box without his assistance. In that case he would not hold to his agreement with Boroday. She tried to head Walter off, but she could not locate him. At none of his various haunts could she find him by telephone; he was not at the Dago's; at the taxlcab office he was said to be laid off for the day. As the white clouds of the afternoon turned to flame In the sunset, Elinor's face grew set and hard. "I'm not blind. Til get him for this!" That was what he had said. He would go after the money that night, and there was murder in his heart. Old Henrlette, watching Elinor's set face, grew fretful. She squealed If a door slammed; brought food that Elinor could not eat, and finally, divining a crisis, tried stealthily by telephone to locate Talbot or Lethbrldge and failed. "You'd better eat a bite or two," she entreated. Elinor's nerves, too, were on edge. "I don't want It," she said. "Just a little soup!" "If you bring that tray here again I shall throw it out of the window." Henriette was cheered. Elinor, whitelipped and speechless, was alarming. Elinor in one of her rare rages was reassuring. By seven o'clock Elinor knew what she must do; go to Ward, tell him what she feared, and how she knew. She was not craven, but her very soul was sick. She sought about for some way to evade the issue or to postpone it, and finally she struck on one. On plain note paper she scrawled a little note in a feigned hand: "An attempt will be made tonight to secure the fund raised at the morning service. Be advised and give it to someone else to keep overnight" But she realized before she had finished It the uselessness of such an attempt. Ward would not transfer a danger. The night had fallen, A line of cars from the country club was carrying town people and villagers home to the late dinners of the golf season. Groups of girls and men in summer garments, chatting gayly, passed under the wall of her garden. Down In the valley straggling lines of evening churchgoers moved decorously toward the churches. A ragged child stood in the road below her garden and wept Elinor ran down to him, and took him up In her arms. When she had soothed him she felt quieter. She went into ,liie house and put on her hat There was no message from Talbot, no word of Huff. Evening service was over when she reached Saint Jude's. The last straggler had gone, and Ward was not in right She avoided the street lights. She felt quite sure that Walter was Jn the vicinity, his keen eyes missing nothing. He had put his hand on her before Bhe knew he was near. "Worahlpl*£ again 1" he Jeered. "I have not been in the church." Her quick mind was scheming desperately ahead. "I nave been alone this evening. When yon did not come, I—" He swung her around. "Yon were looking for m e r "I thought yon might be here. Ton etM last night—" The memory of the night before stnng him. He released hev witet "Walter, I am afraid! I tried tu make you understand lust night, but you wouldn't listen. If he were roused, fee might be dangerous. Don't take "hances; don't think, because he Is a churchman—" She was talking against time. She had her plan now. "I can take care of myself," said Huff sullenly. But he kept his place beside her as she started back. Her solicitude was for him, then. She cared, after all. But it wouldn't do to unbend too much. Elinor had treated him with a high hand. His very pulse ached with her nearness, but he did. not touch her. He left her without even a handclasp. "You might wish me luck." "I wish you safety," she replied. He stood down in the road, and watched her shadowy figure threading its way along the garden paths. He had a wild Impulse to run after her, to kneel in the earth at her feet and cry out for her old tenderness, for her wistful- eyed caresses. Then, into his suspicious young heart crept the vision of Elinor's face when he had planned his new coup. "I shall warn him," she had said. Huff's mouth was hard as he turned and walked down the hill. C H A P T E R X. Into and through her garden Elinor walked quietly until she was safe from surveillance. Then she ran swiftly, ruthlessly across the flower beds, through the roses. The terrace was lighted. She avoided It, making a detour that led by a side entrance into old Hilary's library. Fl>r obvious reasons, ojd Hilary's private telephone was in a sound-proof closet. Before Walter had taken a hundred watchful paces down the wad she had Ward at the other end of the line. What with running and terror, she could hardly speak. Once, long ago, she had heard a discussion between Boroday and her father about the use of the telephone. Its substance was that when the transmitter Is held to the chest a clear message may be sent, but with the effect of distance. She held the transmitter to her breast then, and it seemed to her that Ward must hear the throbbing of her heart. "Hello, hello!" came his quick response. No need to ask who it was. She knew every inflection of his voice. "This is—a friend," Elinor panted. "I want to tell you something." "Yes?" Very incisive now. "Tonight—very soon—an attempt—" She stopped. What was she doing? She, her father's daughter, the head of the band ! By warning Ward she might be sending Wa'lter to his death. A vision of old Hilary, gray-headed, keen-eyed, at this very telephone, flashed into her mind, old Hilary, whose religion had been of keeping the faith, not with his God, but with his men. "Who are you?" The impatient voice was saying in her ears. "Are you sure you want me? This is Ward, of Saint Jude's." ' Elinor quietly hung up the telephone transmitter, and stood in the darkness, her hands to her throat. Old Henrlette, ever watchful, came into the library beyond. Elinor could hear her wandering about, knew the moment when she discovered her wrap on a chair, heard her plaintive voice speaking through a window to the empty terrace. "Miss Elinor," she called. "Miss Elinor!" Elinor let her go. When her shuffling footsteps had died away, Elinor took the receiver down again, and called the assistant rector's house. But this time she spoke directly into the transmitter. "This is Elinor Kingston, Mr. Ward. I wonder If you are very tired tonight?" "I? Tired? I'm never tired." "Because I am thinking of asking you to come up. I—there are some things I want to talk about, questions that are troubling me. I know It is late, but—" "I saw you at the early service. Of course I'll come up." He had seen her thenl 'TU do my best," he was saying. "Of course, you know I may disappoint you. These questions, that come from within, must be answered in the same way. But Tm coming at once." Elinor's battle was only half fought, bnt she had a great sense of relief. Let him meet Walter on the way. 80 much the better. Let Huff know that Wurd was out, and the offering presumably unguarded. He might hate the man, but no hope of a running right with him would deter him from his main object, the money. To save Ward, she was willing, even anxious, to let Walter succeed. Women sometimes meet large crises with small vanities. But Elinor had no vanity. Without so much as a glance at the mirror she went out into the garden to listen for Ward's step on the road. She knew his walk already; the forceful, certain step of an energetic and purposeful man. The illuminated dial on the steeple of the Baptist church showed something after ten when Ward finally came up the hill. The relief of seeing him unharmed sent Elinor down the terrace steps with both hands out. Before he could take them, Ward was obliged to stoop and deposit on the ground at her feet a small box that he carried. "The morning collection," he said smiling, and took her hands in his. Her quick alarm showed In her face. "But you are reckless! To go about with so much money—" Ward was following her up the steps. "I dare say it is safer with me than any place else in the world. Did anyone ever hear of an assistant rector going about with a fortune in his hand?" He fo;!owed her into the library and placed the box on the great table where old Hilary had been wont to divide the annual earnings of the band. Ward pointed to It with his humorous smile. "Would anyone suspect," he said, "that in that box there is a stone parish house, a new church organ, and a children's playground?" Then, glancing at her with keen eyes, he was struck by her pallor. "You to ask me If I am tired !" he cried. "Why, you poor child, it Is you "I Can Take Car* of Myself." who are worn out. Wouldn't it be better to have me come tomorrow and go over the things you—spoke about?" "I think we had better talk about them now," said Elinor, desperately calm. At a quarter before eleven that Sunday night, old Henriette, bent on her evening task of sending Elinor to bed, wandered into the library. She found Ward, his earnest face glowing, expounding the tenets of his faith from the edge of his chair; and Elinor lying back with her face drawn, watching the clock on the mantel. Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew, not to sleep, but with the wakeful alertness of old age, to wander up and down the garden paths until such time as Elinor's visitor might leave. Ward suddenly realized that he was making small headway. When at last he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock he flushed and rose. 'Tve done it all very badly," he said. "I seem to wander all about and not get anywhere. You see it's all so real to me—" Elinor had leaned back with closed eyes. "It Is all very terrible to me," she replied. "This God of vengeance—" "This God of tenderness and mercy," Ward supplemented. "Don't you see what it all means? How terrible this life would be If this were all! Our little lives, foil of Jealosies and hatreds and crimes: I bringing that box, over there on the table, up here with me tonight, because I dare not trust It to my fellow men; I who could nor sleep Ust night for tbisjSdng ef ?ou, who a r e all that Is good and swet>l and lender, up here alone In this great house, with God knows what danger lurking about." Elinor had reached her limit. The hand of her self-control snapped. She could not hold him much longer, and before he went he must know. "When I sent for you," she said, "I had two reasons. I wanted to see you. P l e a s e ! " As he took a step toward her. "And I wanted to save you from something that I know of." iTO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK Manufacturer* In England Have Pro- ! duccd Substitute So Perfect That Cream Rit.ee on It.

In the Castillan language trousers come singly, not In pairs. The story told by Harry A. Franck of his friend Hays, and his struggles with this Span- j Ish Idiom, is in the Century, In Mr. j Franck's article, "Quito the City of the Equator." Pausing In the entrance of one of the little sewing dens known as tailor shops, Hays asked, "Can you j make me a pair of trousers by Saturday night?" j "Un par, senor," cried the tailor. "Ah, no; it la impossible so soon. I can make you a trouser by then, though ' not two of them. Then while you are wearing the one I can perhaps make , the other, if the senor is in such haste." "Oh, all right," said Hays, suddenly recalling that trousers are—that Is—Is singular in Spanish. "Go ahead. I'll try to get along with one over Sun« day."

The company's regular age limits are from 12 to 60, but it has also special policies with (liberally) graded death beneflts on the annual premium plan (30-Payment Life, 20-Year Endowment, etc.) for children from 2 years up. Many a father la glad of the opportunity to buy his 5-yearold son, on the annual premium plan, a 20-year Endowment Policy for one or two thousand dollars, maturing at age 26, when the young man shall be ready to start in business for himself. (Death of the father makes such a policy paid up, to mature without further payment of premiums for the full sum insured.) Old Colony Life salesmen are equipped to insure the entire family on Ordinary plans. What industrial companies are doing for the working classes on the weekly premium plan, the Old Colony Life is prepared to do for larger amounts of insurance for all classes of people on the annual, semi-annual, and quarterly premium plan.

Sparrow Introduced for Purpose. j The sparrow was introduced Into [)\% United States for a specific purpose He was expected to destroy certaH noxious insects, especially the larvae o% \aoths, some of them native, others Hkw the sparrow himself mistakenly , Imported. The native kinds were uuls- • ances in city parks and shaded city streets. Native birds, which now under protection are common city dwellers, would probably have come to do every service the sparrow did; but 1 does not require a very old resident New York to remember the days wl caterpillars rained down on the Sabbath finery of gentlefolk crossing the , parks, and those caterpillars the spar- l row undeniably did clean up, and New I York was grateful. With the othei moths, however—alien moths like th* gypsy and the brown tall, which wer< scourges of vegetation—the sparrow failed. y uf,. Fooling the Motorist. The motorist had lost his way on a country road. Hailing the first pedestrian he overtook, he asked the way to Blankvllle. "I don't know as I can explain It very clearly," replied the pedestrian, "but If you'll take me in your car I'll point It out to you as we go along." "Good," said the motorist. "Jump In." "First off," directed the pedestrian, as he took his seat in the car, "you dri%v si might ahead the way you were going for about two miles." When the two miles had been traveled, he continued : "Now, If you'll let me out here I ran show you the rest of the way without going along. Just turn around and go back three miles and there you are." "Why didn't you tell me Hint in the first place Instead of taking me two miles in the wrong direction?" demanded the motorist. "I didn't want to hurt your feelings right away by telling you you were going In the wrong direction," replied the other, "and, besides, I live here." The Real Thing. "Mom. what is the call of the wild?" "The Joyrider's honk, my son." After one man has said a good thing lots of others wonder why they never thought of It. College Girls Do Their "Bits."

Rice, 128 Selden street, Detroit, Michigan, declares that she has derived more benefit from five bottle* of Tanlac than from medicines and treatments which have cost her a small fortune In the past fifteen years. Her statement follows: **I have suffered for the past fifteen years* with disordered kidneys and stomach trouble. I had such awful pains that at times I couldn't help crying out loud. My feet and lower limbs would become numb and swollen until I couldn't walk and would have to take to my bed. I couldn't sleep on account of my nervousness and would often get up and walk the floor, when I was able to walk. I took all kinds of treatments and spent a small fortune, but didn't get any relief. "The five bottles of Tanlac I have taken made me feel a hundred times better already. I don't suffer any pain or Inconvenience from my kidneys at all now and my stomach Is In fine condition. My blood circulation Is better and my limbs don't get cold like they did. I don't claim to be entirely well yet, but I eat heartily, sleep well and enjoy life more than I have in years. Tanlac is rapidly making a new woman of me, it has done me more good than all the other medicines I have taken In fifteen years." There is a Tanlac dealer in you? town.—Adv.

The bankers of Japan have so many demands for money made upon them at present to finance new enterprises that they are not disposed to underwrite Russian loans; therefore the government will Issue exchequer bonds which may bo paid for with Russian treasury bills.— East and West News.

Washington—A new method of raisng future draft armies has been announced by the war department. It Involves many and important changes in the original system. As explained at the office of the ifrovost marshal general, the plan Is designed to put the right man into the right place at the right time. It means the examination of every registered man who has not already been sent to camp, including those who were exempted from the first draft. In practical operation, it will probably mean a general exemption during the next draft of nearly all married men or men who have dependents of any kind. After an official statement, signed by Maj.-Gen. E. H. Crowder, provost marshal general, had been issued, there was a further explanation of the new plan by one of his aides, giving an idea of how it will be put into operation. Divided Into Five Classes. The registered men will be divided into five classes. In class one they will place all men who can most easily be spared for military duty. This will include men with no persons dependent upon them. Men with wives and families who are not dependent will not be exempt per se, although it is expected that married men, generally speaking, will not go into class one. Men who are not skilled workers in any particular occupation, or who are not skilled workers in any particular occupation, or who are engaged in an occupation not necessary to the prosecution of the war, will go into class one. In class two the local board will place the men who are slightly less preferable for military duty, such as men with partial dependents and those who are skilled in certain needed occupations. In class three, will be placed the men who are highly skilled operatives or who have persons utterly dependent upon them, such as aged parents or small children. In class four will go the men who are the last to be taken for military purposes, those who may have large families who would be left destitute if the breadwinner should be taken away or who are absolutely essential factors In war work. In class five will be grouped men who will never be called for military service, such as cripples, mental or moral defectives, criminals and the like, or persons whose physical unfitness is manifest even without examination. This is the discard class. No man who is placed In> it will ever get into the army. Class One Summoned First. When these five classes are established by the local boards, all over the country, the war department will be ready to proceed with the business of raising the second draft army. Men in class one will be summoned first for physical examination and no class two man will be taken in any draft distr. ot until- the entire roster of class one is exhausted. While there is no way of obtaining accurate information at this time, it is believed that few men outside of class one will be taken In the next draft of 500,000 men, which is expected to be called into service next spring.

JOFFRE'S VALET DID WELL Amassed Fortune of 25,000 Francs While on American Tour With the Noted Marshal. When Marshal Joffre went to the United States he took with him a body servant who was to net as his valet. The man formerly had served in the family and there was nothing said about what pay he was to receive until the journey was over, when the marshal asked him what he owed him. "I couldn't ask for any pay in view of the petite fortune that I have brought back with me." "What little fortune?." asked the marshal, "Yon haven't been speculating?" "Mais non, monsieur de Marechal, but there were times when I could be of service. People who wanted auto* graphs, and those who wanted to see the chambers occupied by monsieur le Marechal, and those 'who sent note* and messages—" "I understand," said the marshal, "but, If I may ask, how much did you bring back?" "En, h'en. Monsieur le Marechal, about 25,000 francs." It is Mme.

(From the United States Department of Agriculture.) Sound, clean, healthy seed Is the first requisite for the largely increased wheat crop which the United States department of agriculture hopes to see harvested next year. Whatever the source of supply, farmers will find It to their advantage, says the department, to see that only good seed Is planted. What has been said is equally true of seed for the rye crop which the department hopes to see much larger than usual next year. If a farmer has seed from his own crop which is satisfactory so far as variety and general condition are concerned, he should lose no time In getting It into shape for storage until planting time. The fanning mill Is the farmer's best friend in this task. The farmer by all means should have such a mill, and If he has not and Is unable to obtain one, should borrow or rent his neighbor's mill, or several farmers can join in buying one. A fanning mill removes weed seeds, smut and shriveled grain and leaves only plump kernels, practically every one of which may be depended upon to produce a thrifty plant. After It is cleaned, however, the seed should be treated in order that the smut may be prevented. Scab is more likely to be prevented by seed treatment, but the use of the fanning mill will assist materially in Improving the crop grown from seed known to have contained scabby kernels. Buy Seed From Neighbor. If the farmer Is dependent on outside sources for his seed, he should buy from his neighbor if possible, so that he may be more likely to got seed well adapted to his conditions. It is advisable to buy as soon after harvest as possible, as at this time prices are likely to be lowest. If the farmer delays, hib neighbors may dispose of all their surplus grain and he may be forced to plant seed grown under conditions radically different from his own. If the farmer patronizes a seedsman he should insist on getting seed grown as near his section as possible. If seed is affected by diseases, careful inspection will usually disclose the fact. The presence of stinking smut In wheat is indicated by the odor and the presence of scab by the appearance of the kernels. Purchased seed should, of course, be cleaued and treated for the destruction of the spores of disease-producing fungi, if the examination shows this to be necessary. Selecting Varieties. In choosing varieties of wheat, the farmer should be guided by the experiences of his neighbors and the advice of his state experiment station. PLOWING TO CONTROL PESTS Remedies for Effective Check Must Be Applied During Fall and Winter Seasons. After the corn-root louse, rootworm, grubworm, and wlreworm have attacked the cornfield. It will be too late for effective control menttures. Remedies for these pests must he applied during fall and winter. These insects feed below ground nnd are most effectively controlled by fall or winter plowing, clean culture and crop rotation. The root louse winters as the egg in the nests of the small cornfield a n t By winter plowing these ant nests are broken up and the ants, as well as the louse eggs, are destroyed. The eggs of the Northern rootworm are deposited by the beetle dorlag fall In escmftelds and since the grab oa hatching t h e following spring will feed only OB the roots of corn, apparently crop rotation Is entirely effective. Some of the grubwonns and wire worms reqatvt two or three y e a n to nature, Taay inter In tb* sail where witter pkrw- This is true also of rye, but there are available fewer varieties of rye than of wheat. The stations can furnish comparative statistics on the yields and behavior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. After the grain farmer has procured a supply of satisfactory seed he should store it carefully, so that it will keep In good condition and will be safe from the depredations of rats, mice and Insects. Bins which are supposedly ratproof are available on practically all farms and it will pay farmers to see that they are kept In good condition to keep out the rodents. ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS Youngster Can Be Weaned in Spring When Grass Is Beginning to Come—Pasture Helps. A very large proportion of all colts are foaled In the spring. However, i some who have raised a fall colt or two each year have found the advantages are not all In favor of the practice of exclusive spring colt raising. A colt foaled in September or early October will get a nice start before the pasture dries up and winter approaches. Then the mare and colt should receive a plentiful and nourishing ration through the winter. The colt can be weaned in the spring when the grass is beginning to come, and the pasture will help wonderfully to keep it In condition and to keep It going. PROFIT IN BALANCED RATION One-Third to One-Half Less Eggs Obtained From Fowls Not Given Right Variety of Feed. Hens fed unbalanced ration produce only one-third to one-half as many eggs as hena fed a balanced ration during the same time. An unbalanced ration wastes from one-half • to two-thirds of the feed. Be sure the ration is balanced. MOST PROLIFIC OF BERRIES Very Few Blackberry Bushes Will Furnish Family With Alt Freah Fruit It Can Use. Blackberries are the most prolific of the berries, generally speaking. A very few blackberry plants may furnish a family with all the fresh fruits It can use. And for canning, preserving, caking cordial, wine, etc., the blackberry Is unexcelled. Ing will destroy many. They breed largely in sod. Therefore. If a field of sod is to be used for corn In the spring, plow It in late fall, if possible. Should dry weather permit before freezing weather is over, winter plowing will eliminate a great many of the Insects which ordinarily nttnrk corn In the spring. FATTENING FOOD FOR DUCKS CoHfmeal, Wheat Bran and Beef Scraps Mixed With Milk or Water Is Recommended as Good. A good fattening food for ducks is three parts cornmeal, one part wheat bran and one part high-grade beef scraps mixed crumbly with milk or water and fed at morning and noon. The evening food should consist of crack ed corn. No more should be fed \ one meal than they will eat ny promptly, and then the troughs should be removed. MMc far Calvaa.

REEVES, Stockbridge. fiw Delivered by the Great Evangelist Last Sunday Morning ALMIGHTY GOD, our Heavenly Father, we pray Thee that the war may continue until Prussian militarism is swept off the face of the earth,until the snake of autocracy is crushed forever, until democracy is unshackled, until justice has a fair show, Until the virtue of woman is sure of protection, until little children no longer go hungry, until the kaiser and his cohorts have unpacked their trunks on St. Helena's birren rocks. And in the meantime give ?ach one of us the fighting spirit that led the crusaders to victory. If we do not fight with our hands in the trenches, help us to fight with sacrificing hearts at home. Thou knowest, Lord, we have not en - tered this bloody war because of avarice or freed and we do not covet Germany's gold or land. We have drawn the sword to defend our country against the most infamous, blood-thirsty horde of human harpies that ever disgracei the earth. They respect neither law nor religion; nothing ia sacred if it stands in their path. Lord, bless the president; give him wisdom; bless all the councils of state and war. Keep us a united nation in fact and spirit. Bless the army and navy. j Many of our brave boys already sleep ' somewhere in France or beneath the j sea. Bring victory to your cause be- j cause we know it is Your cause. We have joined hands and hopes and hearts with our noble allies that this world may be t u f : place in which to live. Thou knowest, Lord, that the tidal wave of sneering unbelief that has blighted the faith of millions and denied that Jesus is Thine only begotten Son, came from the beer mugs of that pretzel crowd across the tern.

CUSTER DIVISION WILL GO TO FRANCE OFFICERS DENY THAT CAMP IS TO BE MADE PERMANENT DEPOT BRIGADE. FIRST TROOPS ARRIVE AT WACO Contingent From Custer Sent to Fill Guard Ranks Makes Trip to Texas Without Incident Loosing. Division officials at Camp Custer have spiked for all time reports that the eighty-flfth division will become a depot or stay-at-home organization, by announcing it is preparing as hastily as possible for service in France. A story had been started in camp that the entire division at Camp Custer was to be a depot division for the rest of the new national army. Since the order was received to ship men south to strengthen National Quard units, members of the organization became almost certain they were not going abroad for a long time. Officers pointed out that the HH nois division at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ills., has been called on to send men to the Illinois National Guard the same as Michigan and Wisconsin have been asked to supply their state units. A well-imbedded belief it is destined to remain in this country would have a bad effect on the morale of the division, as most of the men wish to get to France as soon as possible. The statement of division officials is that the Eighty-fifth will not remain at home as a depot brigade, but has an equal chance with the 17 other divisions of the National army to get to France first. There are 16 divisions of white men and one of Negroes in the race. Cutter Boya Arrrve at Waco. To the tune of "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight," 600 selective soldiers from Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich., were welcomed at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas, last Friday, and before taps many of them had experienced the novelty of crawling through the war-like dugouts and zig-zag trenches that are being used here. Met at the camp railroad yards by the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Michigan band and a group of officers, the boys received a greeting that dispelled all doubts as to the sort of reception awaiting them at the hands of national guardsmen. The trip from Battle Creek to Texas was without incident, and when the young soldiers arrived all were in perfect condition, except one, who was taken to an infirmary for treatment. By an order received at division headquarters from the war department today, the selective soldiers will be treated "in every respect as original members of the organizations to which they are assigned." Hereafter they will be known as National Guardsmen. Train Guards in Trenches at Waco. Training of infantry regiments under artillery fire Is advocated by Gen. L. C. Covell, of Michigan, now at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. Gen. Covell believes that this training could be accomplished while artillery regiments are practising on thp new range "Men who have been under firo sav that while the noise at first drives thorn nearly crazy, they get accustomed to it ?oon," said the general. In any event Michigan and Wisconsin guardsmen at Waco will experience trench life on this side. As soon aa the elaborate system of trenches is constructed, the troops will make their homes under ground while they are being trained. It is said that the government has spent more money on these trenches than was spent for any one thing except the actual building of the cantonment. The order demolishing the Michigan signal battalion (headquarters Ypsilanp) went through last week and Maj. (Glean H. Arnold and other officers are without commands. jPrnddsn Oeea for More Coal. f i r e hundred cars of emergency coal i t Inadequate for Michigan and State Administrator William K.

"I almost feel that if we found some body who was Uying to set fire or blow up food storage plant I'd be in favor of forgetting the law," said Governor Sleeper in commenting on the craven deeds. "Of course, I would want to make sure we had the right persons; but that sort of criminal is almost too heinous to think about." The state will take no action in regard to the guarding of storage plants. This has been the position taken before and it was reiterated today by the governor. Individual owners of plants or insurance companies which have policies on such plants should see to it that sufficient guards are furnished to prevent incendiarism. While the state-paid guards are ready to answer any call for help, they will not be sent to guard any private plant unless the owners of the plant pay them the same wages and board them as the state does. State Insurance Commissioner Ellsworth under whose jurisdiction all the investigations come, says he will in vestigate all fires. r~ Harmless 0 Hogs Fed On Camp Waste. Pork so cheap and so plentiful that it will affect the world price of meat, is a prophecy of Lieutenant Colonel Ellison, representing Brlgalier-General Lytell, in charge of cantonment construction at Camp Custer. The fat on the ribs of the porkers will be made from the waste in army cantonments. Heretofore when a quartermaster officer was needed he might be drawn frim the line and sent out to buy beef or clothes without the slightest know, ledge of what he was doing. But in this war the professio no fthe quartermaster is down to a fine art. Where before refuse, condemned tents and clothing were burned, they will now be saved. But the most Interesting thing is the food waste question and its solution. Not an ounce of food will be wasted, even parts of the camp sewage being turned to commercial purposes. Near every cantonment are one or more immense hog farms which take the tons of refuse and feed it to hogs and the result is expected to be a glut of pigs in the market Old clothing is saved, all waste paper Is baled, and In each regiment will be a complete shoerepairing outfit, on wheels, where the boys may have their shoes "tapped" free of charge. In this way millions of do! lars are expected to be saved yearly. BRAZIL DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES VOTE8 TO BACK PRESIDENT'S 8TAND AGAIN8T TEUTONS.

It is expected that over 500 men will be selected to attend the school. Rio Janeiro—By an almost unanimous vote the chamber of deputies last Friday declared that a state of war existed between Germany and Brazil. The vote was 149 to 1. The senate unanimously approved the proclamation of a state of war with Germany. The tribunes of the chamber were filled to capacity. After a debate on the opportuneness of proclaming martial law, the president of the diplomatic commission spoke In favor of a law worded as follows: "A state of war between Brazil and Germany is hereby acknowledged and proclaimed. The president of the republic is authorized to adopt the measures enunciated in his message of the 25th of October and to take all steps tending to Insure national defense and public security." The virtually unanimous vote of the deputies was received with general acclamation. Anticipating sezure of the gunboat Eber, 984 tons, which has been lying at the port of Babia, Germans set on fire and sank the ship. U. S.

They have to do with a large number of commodltes. The rule is one of a large number which are now being completed for the guidance of the food dealers who this week are being placed under licenses by the food administration* It provides that no dealer in certain specified commodities shall sell "at more than a reasonable advance .over the actual purchase price of the particular goods sold without regard to the market or replacement value." The commodities covered by the rule include beef, pork and mutton, syrups and molasses, cleaned rice and rice flour, oleomargarine, lard and lard substitutes, oleo oil, cooking fats, condensed milk and various canned goods and dried fruits. Wholesale dealers in refined sugar are to be regulated by a similar rule. GOVERNMENT CUTS BEAN PRICE Sets Figure at $1.47 to $1.82 Below Current Market Prices. Detroit.—New government prices for beans throughout the country were announced in Detroit Sunday by W. J. Orr, of Saginaw, chairman of the bean committee of the war industries board. The new standard prices, said to be a material reduction, were contained in the following telegram to Mr. Orr from Washington: "The following prices will apply to dry beans for the army placed during the period, October 5 to November 15, f. o. b. San Francisco, Cal„ common pinto, California choice white beans, small, per l b , 1 cents; medium, 11 cents; red, pink, Bayo, 8 1.8; Lima, 11 1-2; kidney, 10 3-4, f. o. b.; Colorado, New Mexican pinto, 7 3-4; Michigan choice hand picked white, 1 1-2 f. o. b.; New York state, New York choice hand picked white, 11 5-8. Beans must meet requirements of army specifications on a-single bag basis. On double bags one-eighth of a cent per pound advance over the preceding prices will be allowed." These prices average from $1.47 a bushel to $1.82 a bushel less than dealers in Michigan have been paying growers. All bean dealers in Michigan are operating under a federal license since November. FIRST QUOTA NOT AFFECTED New Draft Regulations, Tentative, Not In Force Yet. Washington — Provost Marshal- Genera! Crowder formally notified the governors of states last Saturday that the proposed changes in the draft regulations, involving classification of registrants, does not affect the quota which has been chosen. He also gave notice that the new regulations still are In tentative form and will not be interpreted at this time. This telegram was sent to the gov ernors: "Inquiries from several states indicate that the impression exists that the proposed change in the regulations involving classification of registrants will be effective before the present quota is in camp. "This impression is a mistaken one. The entire flrst quota will be chosen under the regulations now In force. As the new regulations are aa yet in tentative form and win not be retroactive, it is manifestly inadvisable to answer questions concerning them or to construe or interpret them a t this time."

The conference of Sinn Felners at Dublin promised that the provisional government of Irejand should be established without delay.

At this conference the taty reported Chat Washington—The nation was thrilled last Saturday by word that American troops at last were face to face with the Germans across No Man'B land. Announcement by Gen. Pershing that several battalions of his infantry were in the front line trenches, supporter by American batteries, which already had gone into action against the enemy, fanned a new flame of patriotism throughout the country. The absolute silence with wheih Secretary Bakdr and war department officials greeted the news, however, showed that although the movement into the trenches had been expected at any time, it was regarded only as the final phase of Qe men's training— a military finishing school conducted under fire—a school of blood and iron. German shells are breaking about the American forces although they have not taken over the trench sector. Rifle, machine guns, bombs and bayonets in American hands will greet any enemy attack. Casualties to Be Expected. Casualties among the American forces are to be expected. Reports from the front already show intermittent artJUery firing and a wellaimed shell may claim American victims at any moment. There is nothing to indicate, however, that an offensive operation by the Americans and their French associates is to be expected, outside of possible trenouraiding. The Bector where the front line training school has been established is described as one of the quietest on the front and if this condition continues, it will tend to minimize losses. Will Take Over Section. In time a complete section of the front will be Americanized in every detail. How wide this front will be, where on the long line it is to be located and similar questions are matters about which no speculation is permitted. Saturday's announcement brings appreciably closer, however, the day when the actual fighting front of the American army in France will be established and when American energy will be engaged directly in the task of crushing German military power. The long period of waiting and preparation is past its first Irksome stages. From now on, the military power of the United States in France will grow steadily and the results of the months of army-building wiii begin to make themselves felt in their drive of steel against the German ranks. POLISH ARMY IS APPROVED War Department Sanctions Raising 150,000 for Service Abroad. f Washington—Official approval has been given by the war department to Ignace Paderewski's project of raising a Polish army of 150,000 in this country for service in Europe. In announcing this, Secretary Baker explained thft the force will '•not be articulated directly with the American army," but refused to give any further Information, saying the plan was wholly that of its originators. It is against the policy of the department to admit such special organizations to the ranks of the American army. Aid in the way of equipment and training, however, probably will be given the Poles. The fact that thousands of Poles In this country have seen army service in Europe had much to do with the de partment's decision. % THE ITALIAN CABINET RESIGNS Failure to 8uppiy Coal and Pood Causes Upheaval.

You were to have been robbed tonight. 1 brought you here under false pretense." Ward wa* as white as she. His figure straightened. "Then all the time that I have been telling you—" **I did not hear. I was watching the time." Personal fear Ward had none. He did not even follow Elinor's eyes as they glanced once more at the clock. Mrs. Bryant's venomous Insinuations came back to him, all the village talk of the girl's strange rearing. Fearful thoughts flashed Into his mind, to be dismissed, shaken off doggedly. "I shall never believe anything that you do not tell me yourself. But it Is only fair to me that now at last there be frankness between us." "There are othors," Elinor said, with dry lips.

"You? Then all this time that you have seen what you must have seen In my eyes, you have been—-" •*—At the head of a band of thieves," Elinor said slowly. Ward released her, and turning took a slow survey of the room. "Then I suppose this Is a trap?" he Bald. "It Is not a trap." Her voice was dead. "I opposed this—this plan from the start. That is the reason one of the men—of my friends—suspected that I—" "Go on. What did he suspectr "That I—but that doesn't matter. He burned the parish house and planned all this. Tonight he meant to get the money from you, and I—was desperate. I could think of no other way." Ward's faith In her was slow to die. He took a step toward her, his hands out then dropped them at his sides. "Then—the night the parish house burned, when I came down in the dawn and found you sitting there"—he clenched his hands—"all the time you knew. You knew! And I had thought—" He went to <the table and, opening the box, slipped the notes and money It contained into hfs pocket Then be buttoned his coat about him. Elinor watched him stonily. "You are going back down the bill?" "I am going home." He did not even look at her. I f you would only go some place else," she said pitifully. "To the club, or to Mrs. Bryant's. Please believe me. Whatever I am, and I have told you the worst I am trying to think of you tonight not of myself." "I am going back to my house," said the assistant rector of Saint Jude's. He got as far as the door on to the terrace, and there he turned. It was as if he dared not look at her, as If he meant to carry away with him some tenderer memory than of this whitelipped, guilty woman before him. "If I seem hard," he said unsteadily, I t is because I am suffering. You are quite safe, of course. I shall not go to the police." Had he cared less he would have been more merciful. Old Henrietta watched his figure as be went down the garden steps and Into the road. "Strange things in this house r she mumbled, shaking her head. •'Preachers coming and going at all hours, and Bftnor In a church this morning.

She was very wise, was wrinkled Henrlette, and she knew the Kingston blood. Ward came down the road rapidly. There was a faint moon. One part of his mind had ceased to work; his higher faculties were dormant with misery, with the anesthesia that comes for a time after great grief or shock. Physically be was entirely alert; his keen eyes searched each clump of shrubbery before he reached it .Not that he feared attack for himself; his cup of life was bitter to his taste that night, but he carried a trust in his pockets, that he would deliver. Huff was waiting at the foot of the Kingston place, crouched behind a wall. If the boy had been jealous before, he was maddened now. Ward had been with Elinor. Huff, coming up the hill had heard his short goodnight to Henrlette in the garden, had heard him come down the hill. There were only two explanations. Either the man was in love with her and had gone up that night of his own volition, or Elinor had sent for him. One was as bad as the other. Ward did not have a chance. As he came abreast of the wall, the boy fired and he pitched forward on his face. With the re-echoing of the shot among the hills, HuffB madness died away. Murder was not his game; violent and sudden death perhaps, but never, before, a shot from behind. Had the wealth of a city been In Ward's pockets, he could not have touched i t He thrust his revolver Into his pocket, and breaking away through the shrubbery commenced a swift but noiseless ascent of the hill. The assistant rector of Saint Jude's lay on his face in the road, with the morning offering of his congregation safe in his pockets. CHAPTIR X I . The chief sent for Boroday early the next morning. "You've turned the trick all right" he said, grimly smiling. Boroday, as immaculate as ever, settled his tie. "Yesf "Sit down," said the chief. "Now that you know you're going, I suppose you're not in any particular hurry." Boroday ran his hand over bis silky beard. "I should like to get to a barber." "There Is no great hurry, now," said the chief, when Boroday was comfortably settled and smoking one of his eternal Russian cigarettes, "I wish you would tell me why you disposed of that pearl the way you did. It wasnt quite up to our agreement you know. It was to be given to me and I was to return it Instead of that I bad to make a wild-goose chase out Into the country." "Ah 1" said Boroday, "Into the country!" The chief, who was accustomed to reading faces,watched Boroday closely. But If there was a tightening about the Russian's eyes, it was very faint T o n know blamed well," said the chief peevishly, "just where I had to go to get that thing. And you know blamed well also that on Sunday afternoon I always play poker. It was— well, inconsiderate, to say the least" Boroday smiled. *T am exceedingly sorry that you were put to any trouble about it" he said. "But as you may understand, I have not yet seen my—friends, and of course—" He shrugged hlB shoulders. The chief was skeptical of his ignorance, neverthe less. He humored what he chose to consider Boroday's whim. First he gave him the note which he had received by special delivery the day before. Quick as he was, the Russian could not quite conceal his astonishment "In the slms box!" said the chief. "Somebody with a sense of humor had charge of this little affair. Bryant is senior warden, it seems, in this chmrch. It was clever." Boroday passed the letter back to him. "I shall ten my confreres. It is qntte original.*' The chief was smoking s large cigar. Untfke the police chief of Action and the dransa, he did not speak around the cigar, but carefully removed i t not ont of respect to his visitor, but out of deference to a good cigar. Now he tensed toward Boroday. ' he said slowly, "rt was , or it was "it has occurred to me," the chief went on, "that that little town has been pretty busy lately. There was that matter of the country club, you know, and lust Thursday ulght the parish house burned down." "Yes," said Boroday, politely. "And now something else has happened and—" Suddenly the chief beat hla desk with his fist—"I am pretty sick of It" Under perfect control as he was at critical moments, the Russian's hands hud a way of twitching. So now he flicked the ash from his cigarette and was politely Interested. "What happened last night 7" he inquired, "I think you know. If you don't I'll tell you. Yesterday morning a tremendous collection was taken up at the church of Saint Jade's to build a new parish house In place of the one that burned down. The rector has been away; the assistant rector took charge of the money." "I see." "Of course you see. What I would like to know Is why you fellows—" Boroday spread out his hands in his foreign way. "I fear you give me great credit. 1 do not deserve it" "—Why you fellows," the chief went on resolutely, "waited to do this job until the rector, who Is old and infirm, had gone away and left a husky young assistant in his place. And that isn't all I want to know." "In any way that I can assist you—" "What the devil do you mean," yelled the chief, "by shooting a man down and then going away and leaving the money In his pockets? It's— it's crude—it's wasteful I" The Russian's fingers twitched in spite of him. The chief saw it and smiled under his heavy mustache. "Do you mean that somebody shot this—er—assistant you speak of? That Is rather sad. Was there—much money?" "Seventy-eight thousand dollars," said the chief, and put his cigar back In bis mouth. '"There Is a story behind it, Boroday, and it's that story I am going to get I'm warning you because you've played pretty square with* me. I needed that pearl in my business." Boroday rose. "All right, chief," he said. "I am sorry about young Ward. I hope he wasn't, killed." "He wasn't killed," replied the chief. "And I haven't said his name was Ward. If yon haven't had your breakfast yet, we might breakfast together. I overslept and haven't had time for anything." Ward came back to consciousness In the great four-poster bedstead In which old Hilary Kingston had lain In state. He felfvery little pain and no curiosity at all as to his surroundings, only an overwhelming lassitude and weariness of life. Something—something that mattered very much had CLAMP IS CARPENTER'S AID New Device Designed to Held Siding in Place While the First Nail Is Being Started. It Is difficult for a man to nail siding on a house because he must hold the board in place while starting the first nail, as well as when marking and cutting the stock. A device made of a steel bar fitted to a weighted section of pipe overcomes this difficulty, says Popular Mechanics magazine. The end of the bar is hooked up to the studding and clamps the board securely. The clamp is made as follows: Procure a piece of soft galvanized steel bar H by 1 by 90 inches. Bend it together 14 inches from one end, and then bend the shorter part to a right angle, 5 inches from the end. Studding is usually 1¼ by S% inches, and the end of the longer part of the bar should be bent to this shape so as to hook around the studding. Allowance must be made for the thickness of the siding—usually % inch—and 1¼ Inches additional to give a proper clamping force. The handle is a piece of pipe, 7 inches long. After fitting it over the folded bar, weight It with about three pounds of lead. When the piece of siding is to be fitted into place, hook the clamp on the studding and drop It to bind. It will hold boards while marking and sawing them. For long boards, place the damp near the middle, and slide boards under i t Let Her Go On and Oft.

The nurse was large and plain, with a wide, flat face. "You, with the eyes of a saint," said poor Ward, "to try to tell me that you are wicked. I see that it is impossible. I think I ean sleep now." The nurse put her hand, which was large and Ill-shaped but very light and tender, on his head. And so he went to sleep. When he was quite settled, the nurse went out into the hall where Elinor was sitting on a straight chair. She had sat there almost all of the time since Ward was carried up the night before.

Scientists who have been trying to find a way of preventing the fogged glass which often obscures the vision of a chauffeur or motorman In rainy weather and results In accidents, have decided that glycerin, properly used, b the best thing for preventing mist forming on the glass. It has long been used for this purpose by locomotive engineers, and a thorough test of Its efficacy proved that it Is deserving of wider use. To make glass fogies* la any kind of weather it should first be thoroughly cleaned and then rubbed with a doth wet with glycerin.

Morals In Russian society are getting very loose, the sanctity of marriage is being challenged by too great a facility for obtaining divorce. Many girl marry in haste to get their Independence, and look upon their first matrimonial venture as a step to better themselves in the future, writes a correspondent. It seems paradoxical, but It Is nevertheless a fact that It is far easier for a married woman than for a spinster to find a husband. The breaking off of an engagement creates a scapdal, but the severing of matrimonial bond9 Is becoming quite the usual thing. The most insignificant misunderstanding causes husband and wife to break their marriage vows and go their different ways. Gossips chatter about Impending divorces as much as of budding engagements. In Russia a divorced woman does not lose a tithe of her reputation, if no outrageous scandal attaches to her divorce. Should she marry again, she returns to society with her new husband and enjoys all the prerogatives of her new position. The victims of this state of things are the unfortunate children.

The car in larger and roomier, for one thing—the wheelbase has been increased six inches. It is also a stronger and more Hgid machine for the road. The frame Is now six Inches, instead of three inches deep. And the body rests directly on this powerful frame, instead of on brackets extending from the sides, as in the past.

OMEBLA '3 aivd SKrub Their Care aivd CulfivatiQiv QUEEN OF THE GARDEN—THE ROSE. SOME TRIED WINTER HINTS By E. VAN BENTHUY8EN. When the hanging basket looks shabby, or Is at a standstill, It is very likely it has been neglected as regards watering. Remember it is wholly surrounded by air, and requires more water than the potted plants. Plants will not flourish if they must breathe gas generated by coal or wood In stove or furnace, or escaping Illuminating gas. Stop the leaking gas, and give ventilation by raising and lowering a window at some distance from the plants so that the cold air may get warm before It strikes the plants. Liquid manure is valuable when used with caution and good common sense. Do not make it too strong, and thus injure the plants, and do not give it to plants that are not growing, or that are taking their annual rest. Turn the window plants often enough to prevent them getting onesided. It is a good Idea to water the plants In the evening so that the moisture will penetrate thoroughly before the sun dries It up. Fuchlas like some shade, and plenty of moisture—just like the pansy. If the plant appears sick, examine Its roots. Perhaps you will find that it needs repotting. If dead or rotten leaves are found, remove them. If for any cause live roots are removed through design or accident, be sure to cut back the top to correspond. Then give a smaller pot than the plant previously had. Give fresh air liberally. Keep the air moist See that the plants are kept clean. * Save the hen manure carefully. If your soil is heavy, add wood ashes to the hen manure, but if the soil is light and sandy, use leaf-mold or rich loam. Ornamental trees and shrubs may be pruned any time during the winter if they need i t Bear in mind that pruning should not destroy the characteristics of growth peculiar to the tree or shrub. Cut back the too prominent branches, remove those that grow too closely together. If blooming shrubs are continually cut at the ends of the branches they will in time cease to produce flowers. Watch the aphis and fight It from the start, else it will destroy your winter garden. He assumes several guises, but all yield to tobacco or tea, smoke or dust Whale-oil soap and kerosene emulsion also destroy the pest If blight attacks your begonias, cut off all the leaves having a burnt appearance and burn them. Sift sulphur on the plants. It will kill the blight Plan now for next summer's work. Go Into the garden, notebook in hand, and decide just what assortment of flowers you wish In each bed and bor» der—then order accordingly. NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS The genuine night blooming cereus Is a snaky-looking plant, but from the time the buds appear in the earfy spring, looking like tiny tufts of cotton, until the wondrous blossoms are perfected, the plant Is always an object of Interest The opening of a cereus blossom can never be appreciated until seen. There is the quivering of the petals, the gradual disclosing of the creamy interiors, within which is a most marvelous mechanism of stamens surrounded by the star-like pistil. Only the white pond Illy gives a suggestion of the wondrous purity of the cereus and even this the cereus far transcends. Yet It is easily grown. If Insects attack, spray or wash off with kerosene emulsion, a wing being excellent for cleaning this plant The scale and aphis are its chief enemies. Some plants are slow in attaining blooming size, yet when this is once reached they are faithful each year. The humming bird and the rat-tail are notable for exceptions, blooming nicely when but a few months, or a year old. CARE OF THE PLANTS If a plant appears sick, examine its roots. Perhaps you will find that It needs repotting. If dead or rotten leaves are found remove them. If for any cause live roots are femoved through design or accident be sure to cut back the top to correspond. Then give a smaller pot than the plant previ ously had. 1 DEAD; 5 HURT W CAR CRASH Two Irttsrurbant in Rear-end Collision At Mason. A hero is a man who sticks to the same woman all his life. ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD PREPARE FOR WAR ITALIAN ARMY IS IN COMPLETE ROUT AU8TRO-GERMAN FORCE8 SHAKE ENTIRE LINE—OVER 100,000 PRISONERS T A K E N . ROME ADMITS FALLING BACK Gorizia, Taken From Teutons Last 8ummer, Falls to Enemy— Cividale Also Taken. Washington—Aufltro-German armies under command of Emperor Charles. Who has as his chief assistant Field Marshal von Mackensen, are shaking the entire Italian line from the Julian Alps region to the Adriatic sea. According to the Berlin official communication, Sunday night, 100,000 Italians have been made prisoners and in excess of 700 guns have fallen into Austro-Gennan hands. The second and third Italian armies are declared to be in retreat, Italy Scores Cowards. Rome admits the falling back of the second army, asserting that cowardice similar to that shown by the Russians in Galicia, was exhibited in the face of the foe, the Italians surrendering or retreating without giving battle, pressing the breaking of the left wing and thereby offering easy access to the town of Cividale. Prior to the falling back, however, the Italians destroyed all their depots and stores and Cividale was on fire when the Austro-Germans entered i t Pressing back the Italians at several points on Italian soil, the combined enemy forces now have puahed forward on the Italian left wing and captured Cividale, lying to the northeast of Udlne. In addition, the Austrian town of Gorisia, a point of great strategic value on the Isonzo river, has been retaken from the Italians. - Possibly the Italians in this region, who are declared by Rome to be retreating to prepared positions on the plains, will turn about and meet the enemy in open country fighting, Great Force In Danger. If they do not and the enemy is able to keep up westward the fast pace that has been maintained since the commencement o fthe operation, the greater part of the Italian forces along the northeastern line will be treatened with capture. The situation is so grave that a special meeting of the French cabinet has been held for the purpose of deciding upon the question of Allied cooperation on the Italian front. LIBERTY LOAN HUGE SUCCESS First Reports Indicate That Total Hat Passed $5,000,000,000 Mark. Washington—The Liberty loan apparently has passed the $5,000,000,000 mark. A last-day drive of titanic proportions throughout the nation rounded up more than $1,000,000,000 and was lieved to have carried the total several hundred million dollars beyond the maximum treasury officials had hoped for. Each of the 12 districts appears to have passed its minimum and indications were that most of them had exceeded the maximum as well. At least 8,000,000 persons throughout the country wrote their names on application blanks. How many more did so will not be known until the final count. The number may go as high as 10,000,000. Michigan Does Well.* Lansing—At 6 p. m Saturday, Michigan had a total reported subscription to the second Liberty Loan of $104,- 854.850 or 84 per cent of the state's quota of $124,250,000. State headquarters offijclals were confident that when final reports came in, after the close of the week's busineas.there would be an additional $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 to add to the total. "Can't Cut Off My Leg," Says Railroad Engineer "I am a railroad engineer; about 20 /ears ago my leg w u seriously injured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it I was told it would be impossible to he&l the wound. I have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved to use PETERSON'S OINTMENT on my leg. You cannot imagine mv astonishment when I found it was doing what over 100 things had failed to do. My leg is now completely cured."—Gus Hauft. 790 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn N. Y. "It makes me feel proud to be able to produce an ointment like that," says Peterson. "Not only do I guarantee Peterson's Ointment for old: sores and wounds, but for Ecaema, Salt Rheum, Ulcers. Itching Skin and Blind, Bleeding or Itching Piles, and I put up a big box for 25 cents, a price all can, afford to pay and money back from your druggist u pot satisfied." Adv. Exempted. A man with u perceptible burden of care ran afoul of a Fall Kiver policeman. "Here you," said the officer, "Let me look you over." "It's all right, officer," replied the man with the Jag, "I just been drafted." "You've w h a t r "Drafted. You know. Just been examined. I'm going into the army." "You had better come to the police station first," said the patrolman, and he started to lock the man up. "Just then a doctor came along, a member of one of the Fall River exemption boards. "What are you doing?" he asked the officer. "Don't lock him up. Let him go." "But he's drunk," said the policeman. "Never mind that. We Just passed that fellow for the army, and If he's arrested we may lose him, and God knows It's hard enough to get men who are fit and willing to be drafted without taking any chances. Please, Mr. Policeman, let him go." So the policeman exempted him from the lockup.—New Bedford Standard.

One of the lacking houses in the stock yards In Chicago has persuaded Its women employees to wear what It calls "femlnalls," another form of overalls. The women at first objected, but as so much machinery with belts and other contrivances that are likely to catch In the dresses of women are used, the managers persauded five women to try it, and it was then easy for the rest to don the femJnalls. In this particular place 7,000 women are employed, about three times as many as last year, and much of the work they do was formerly done by men.

Medieval Sleeve Well Liked Here New York.—It Is not possible to dlrlde the new gowns. Into strdngly differing sections. No designer hus taken a period aud copied her gowns from It —With certainty and exactitude. All of JPe French and American workers have jumbled their history In a way that would give the seeker after truth a brainstorm. It Is well for the public at large that the designers do not stick too closely to period clothes. When the decorators Insist that one cannot have a^ curtain, a vase or a cushion In a room that Is drawn from a certain period, we get beautiful pieces of. interior decorative work which should be In a museum, but which have Uttle relationship to an Intimate home life. It is wise for every woman to learn, and it would be well if one could only t^ach the artists and decorators the same thing, that exhibition work is one thing, but the kind of work that one must live with is another. We can go to museums or department shops and see period rooms and period dress, but human nature resents thethought of having such limited waking and sleeping hours. Therefore, we greet with pleasure the fact that vastly different periods of history have been dipped Into for the new clothes; but anachronism is rife. CaHot and the Empire. The Callot gowns were fhe last to get to this country, and they presented no new note, except the Introduction of the First Empire silhouette. Even when Callot took the most symbolic feature of this period, which is the high waistline that slightly girdles the figure just under the bust, she added medieval sleeves to it that the Empress Josephine never wore. The most dominant First Empire frock that Callot has sent over Is of brilliant red that Is neither geranium, Japanese nor wine. She calls It "incendle." It has the richness of a This top coat is made of plum-colored satin with a woolen back, brocaded In plum and mauve floss. Collar and cuffs are of black sealskin with edge of Russian fitch. The draw string allows the coat to be either loose or ' ght at waistline. _jby In the light and resembles that Jewel to the Inexperienced eye more than the flames from a conflagration. This gown is not marred by trimmlng. As the French say, It goes without a garnish. The neck la not tow In the way that Callot la apt to arrange It, and the sleeves not only oorer the arms and wrists, bnt the k of them hangs to the knees the arms are dropped Callot features a new thing, is bound to be significant, and, therefore, when she puts a modified angel sleeve in the same gown with an extreme Josephine waistline, she Is producing something that will be widely copied and w o n by women of the most altrafashionabte convictions. Medieval Sleeve Featured, probably the medieval sleeve will receive more attention from American women than the First Empire waistline. This fact la increasingly trident In the exhibitions of American- designed gowns, which have obviously taken the medieval sleeve as the chief feature. An entire chapter of dress could be written concerning this sleeve. It has played a most historic part in the evolution of fashion throughout the centuries. America was quite well aware that some type of long, flowing sleeve would reappear this autumn. It was foreshadowed by the voluminous tulle sleeves that reached to the wrist and hung downward in points. Every cable from Paris Insisted upon the preference shown by the French women for gowns that did not expose the arms, even though they were half low at the neck. Fantastic gowns In this country, designed for the footlights, brought a good deal of attention to themselves by the immensity of their sleeves, but these were usually fashioned on some antique Chinese Idea, for their square outline was held in place by Chinese tassels and Jade bracelets. Then came the first Callot gown with the genuine medieval sleeve. The men who were in Paris early in the summer and who saw the possibilities in the renewal of such a sleeve, got it over here before the actual Callot gowns were unwrapped and displayed to the American public. It is not easy to define these sleeves by simply calling them medieval. To our American minds, they are reminiscent of the Abbey drawings. They might have been worn by the daughters of King Lear. And above all, their beauty catches the eye because of the cathedral colors In which they are dyed. Chinese Panels. There is another Important feature in the new fashions that no woman can fail to overlook. These are what are known in France as flying panels. They are supposedly adopted from Chinese dress. They are placed on the skirt or on the bodice, and there are extreme gowns in which they swing from the shoulders. Jenny uses them In a gown that is fashioned after those worn by Chinese women. It has an oddly shaped, trousered skirt of chiffon that is exceedingly modest and graceful. Over this fabric hang straight, flying panels in 1 iridescent taffeta that Is weighted with gold and crystal fringe. The waist Is, loosely girdled about by a Chinese sash, and the long, floating sleeves of chiffon and crystals are caught in at the wrists and are transparent. Jenny, however, is not the only one who uses panels in whatever way they onn be accommodated to the human figure. Doeulllet puts them on onepiece frocks and gathers them together at the waist under a girdle of some ornate, glowing fabric. Mme. Paquln makes an evening gown that is Just two panels over a tight, sheathlike skirt, and the two are held In at the waistline by a brilliantly colored sash that somewhat imitates the 'American bustle silhouette by resolving itself into a bow and ends at the side. Premet, who has turned out such unusually good gowns this year, assembles her flying panels under a sash of Chinese or Japanese embroidery and arranges it in a big looped bow at the side which looks something like a bustle that has slipped— an uncomfortable and disagreeable way that they had of doing In that 1880 period when women wore them in an uglier form than_they are Introduced today. Need Not Match S k i r t It is not necessary to go to any trouble to have the panels match the tight skirt beneath In either color or material. Lanvtn insists that the greater the difference between the two, the better the style. She will use hydrangea blue and black together or golden tan and deep purple. Even when these flying panels are not converted Into an entire gown, there is a leading fashion which sees to it that most of onr frocks look as though they were split up the sides, to show the tightest skirt that we could walk in. Chernlt and many of her colleagues have not forsaken the apron gown. The little accessory which resembles an apron, but to intended for ornament and not service, appears on a sufficient number of new frocks to proclaim itself still in fashion.

CITED WOMEN AS DANGEROUS German Writer Alluded to United States Feminism as Certain Ruin and Degradation. There La some interest, if uot equal /mporti nee, in the fact that America, reputed throughout the world as the land of feminism, the land of privileged womanhood, Is at- war with the country in which the claims of feminism are most universally and violently detested and the claims of mascullnism most loudly asserted and generally accepted, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. Herr Voechting wrote a book a few years ago on "The American Cult of Woman," Jn which he congratulated his own Germany on being safe from the danger that was engulfing the United States In ruin and degradation. If we acknowledge the awful impeachment brought against us out of the logic of Kuitur, what shall we say on our part of that masculinlsm which expresses Itself among the men of Germany In a horrified and angry outcry against the "treachery" and **unworthlness" of German women In performing little acts of kindness and humanity for the prisoners within the gates? So dominant Is this masculinlsm in the kaiser's empire that women themselves are among Its stanchest adherents. No other land could ever make a creed of subjecting to constant insult and cruelty the helpless and the wounded. The masculinlsm of America is of a different sort, despite the gloating assertion of Herr Voechting that we have sunk too low to lay claim to anything of such a title. We prefer our own variety.

Food Conservation, Enough wheat to make one million loaves of bread could be sent to our allies every day if each family in the country saves just one loaf of bread; That's what we can do if we all pull together. In a year it would amount to 1,600,000 barrels of flour. A little saving from each one, but what a grand total! If every family in Pinckney and vicinity wastes a single slice of bread each day, more than a hundred loaves of bread wfll be thrown away in a*,week. Isn't it appalling? Only the meanest kind of a slacker would willingly waste in such a time as this. Every man, woman and child in the country can have a part in winning the war, for it takes bread as well as bullet/to win the war. The Germans are trying to starve the allies and traitors in this country are helping by burning food depots. Living for our country will attain something of the distinction of dying for it when we cheerfully sacrifice. We would like to have the Pinckney cooks send in some recipes for using dry bread. • Facts That Must Be Faced Now or Later 1. The British drink trade has destroyed during the war sufficient food to have supplied the entire British army during that time. 2. If Great Britain «had prohibited drink in August, 1914, she would today have had a surplus ef food equal to three months' supply, instead of beiag faced by near famine. 3. The British drink trade has durng the war wasted shipping space equivalent to one trip of 5,400,000 tons. 4. The British drink trade has dur- > ing the war wasted labor equivalent to I the idleness for 100 days of the entire United Kingdom. 5. The British drink trade has during the war resulted in a money waste equivalent to the last gigantic British loan of $5,000,000,000.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Xu ,> 91 No. 45 Pinckney High Defeats {About Food Conservation Heavy Dexter Eleven Last Monday afternoon the Pinckney High School foot-ball team defeated the heavy Dexter High School Eleven 12 to 7, in a close and intensley interesting game. Pinckney made their firBt touch-down during the last quarter in the first half, but failed to kick goal which made the game G to 0 at the end of the first half. During the first quarter of the second half Dexter's heavy back field plowed through the Pinckney line for a touch-down and kicked goal making the score 6 to 7 in favor of Dexter. This did not discourage the Pinckney boys however, and time after time Pinckney's full-back, Roche Shehan, went through Dexter's line for gains making another touch-down in the last quarter which made the score 12 to 7 in favor of Pinckney. Both touchdowns were «iade bv Shehan. All of the boys played fine however considering that this was only the second game that the most of them had ever been in and the fact that they were playing against a much heavier and more experienced team. Pinckney will play Dexter here this week Friday and will play Howell at that place next week Wednesday. The Women Are Glad to do Their Share Many Selects Rejected MOO Out of Draft of 13,000 Are Held Unfit " S t a t e w i d e Prohibition For - Kentucky/* Slogan of State Convention Extracts from the address of Mrs. Frances Beauchamp, W. C. T. U. president— "To as f women to turn their dresses upside down and inside out and make them over time and time again, to save, and at the same time permit men to use the soil of God'a green acres to produce tobacco with which to poison the blood of future generations, is, to put it mildly, but false economy. Cigars and cigarets will lower vitality and lessen power of resistance to disease, yet the government raises no protest and calls upon self-denying mothers to eat less for economy's sake. "If, instead of asking our men, women and children to eat less, we simply refused to allow our grains and foodstuffs to be us*d for the production of j liquor, we would not only avert the] destruction which commonly result*, from its consumption, but we would; save enough grain to Bupply continu-" ously the bread rations for our own ( army and for the combined armies ofour a l l h s . " M. E. S. The canvassers for food conservation pledges have secured a large number of Bigners. The women are glad to do their share. One woman said that the dog would not get any more pieces of bread while human beings were in want. The d')g will eat potatoes and other vegetables or go hungry. Keep all small pieces of bread in the warming oven until thoroughly dry and crisp, put thru the food chopper or roll until fine. They are then ready for immediate use, or can be put away for an emergency. Many had never thought of using dog bread crumbs for anything but bread pudding. One lady gave us a recipe for Apple Charlotte which is as follows: Put a layer of crumbs in the bottom of a buttered pudding dish, then a layer of apple sauce, then another layer of crums, alternating until the dish is full. Pour over the top half a cupfull of water, sprinkle a little cinnamon and a few dots of butter, bake half an hour, and serve with cream, bits of jelly or any pudding sauce. Did you know that any scraps of cookies or stale cako could be made into fine crumbs and used in place of part of the fl our in your fresh cookies. Try it. We know of one lady that would be highly indignant if she was called anything but extremely economical, yet we have seen her throw away a 25 pound flour sack full of pieces of bread, crackers, toast, corn bread and the like. In her cooking she ia economical, also very good, but she still has lota to learn about utilizing the left-overs, in spite of the fact that she has been cooking many years. We used to have a cook who made a delicious Pls:m Pudding out of bread crumbs. She said she used no flour at all. Could any of the Dispatch readers furnish us this receipt? We would be very grateful if any could. Card of Thanks I wish to express my heartfelt thankB to the many friends and neighbors for their thoughtful kindness and sympathy during the illness and burial of my dear mother, Mrs. Frances Petteys. Also for the many beautiful flowers, the kind and comforting words of the minister and the sweet music. Viola Petteys.

MANY OTHERb 2ADLY INJURED Most Inmates of Home Being Old and Infirm Fell Easy Prey—Fire Starts In Stack of Old Papers. Paterson, N. J.—Nineteen men loat their lives Sunday at a fire which destroyed the Paterson Salvation Army Rescue miBalon here. Eighteen of the victims were dead before rescuers could reach them. The other one succumbed at the hospital of his Injuries. Many others were badly injured, either in the surging mass of humanity which, panic-stricken, stampeded from the building, or by leaping from windows. More than a score sustained injuries of a minor character, and were treated by ambulance surgeons. Of those who leaped from the windows of the burning building, 13 were so badly hurt that their removal to the hospital was imperative. Some of these, it was said, may not recover. The fire started among a large stock of newspapers and magazines stored In the rear of the building. It spread rapidly to a large pile of kindling •wood in the yard nearby, and licked up the side of the building, which burned like tinder. There were 85 men sleeping in the building when the fire started. Some were old and some were crippled. Few were in the full vigor of manhood as the rescue mission was conducted as a haven for unfortunates who possessed no home and but little means of livelihood.

OTSEGO SOLDIER SHOOTS SELF French and British 8oldiers Sent to Stem German Onrush — Italy Has Lost 180,000 Men. MANY WACO SELECTS UNFIT Strict Army Examination Will Cause Discharge of 15 Per Cent. Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas— With the arrival of the final allotment of the 3,000 selective soldiers from Camp Custer last Saturday, examination of the men is under way. It was unofficially announced that fully 15 per cent would be given surgeons' certificates of disability and discharged from the army. Why some of the Rattle Creek men ever were accepted for service by their local boards is a mystery to officers here. Inasmuch as many of the misfits come from Detroit, particular criticism is directed against local boards there. One officer who has had much to do with the examination of the Custer men, expressed the opinion that if a man claimed exemption, the local boards took it for granted he was trying to dodge service, and accepted him regardless of his physical qualifications. "The result of this situation," continued this officer, "is that we are delayed in our training, when every day counts. We shall have to re-examine every one of these men, and it looks as if fully 15 per cent would be discharged." "ELECTRICAL RAIDER" IS SUNK Was Controlled From Shore—Fleet of 12 Teuton Ships Also Sunk. London—An "electrically-controlled high-speed boat," which attacked British patrol vessels off the Belgian coast has been sunk, It is announced here. While no official explanation of the term "electrically-controlled" is given, it is believed that the craft was of a new type without crew, and controlled from the shore by an electrical device. Details have also been received of a naval action in which British warships sent down 12 German fighting vessels. Ten patrol boats, a small converted cruiser—the Marie Plensberg, or Flentoorg— and the Crocodile, a commerce raider, were sunk. The brief official announcement said that there were no British losses. Sixty- four German sailors, some of them ^TSTTnded, have been landed. The converted cruiser carried six- Inch guns. The admiralty statement did not name her, but dispatches from Copenhagen identified her as the Ma* rie of Flensborg, or Flenborg. She was a vessel of 3.000 tons. The cruiser, it is said, was sunk 12 miles north of Jellen after 30 of the *• crew of 81 had been killed. A Spanish steamer took seven wounded Germans to a Danish port. The Crocodile was a new, swift vessel of MOP toss and carried a crew of Petrograd.—In view of the reports reaching Petrograd, that the impression is spreading abroad that Russia j virtually Is out of the war, Premier i Kerensky discussed the present condition of the country frankly last Friday with the Associated Press. He said Russia Is worn out by the long strain, I but that it is ridiculous to say the country is out of the war. I The premier referred to the years j that Russia has fought her own campaigns alone, with no such assistance as has been extended to France by Great Britain and now by America. He said he felt help is needed urgently and that Russia asks it as her right. He urged that the United States give aid, in the form of money and supplies and appealed to the world not to lose faith in the Russian revolution. Russia, M. Kerensky added, was taking an enormous part in the struggle, and those who said she was out of it must have short memories. "Russia has fought consistently since the beginning," he said. 'Shy . saved France and England from disaster early in the war, She is now worn out by the strain and claims as her right that the allies now i shoulder the burden." Ally Soldiers Go to Italy's Aid, Washington.—British anad French i reinforcements arrived on the Italian front on November 1. Cabled word to i this effect was announced in official I circles here. j It was statetd positively that Italy's ! third army had successfully extri- I cated itself from the Isonzo front i and had retreated in good order ! to the Tagniamento line. This army is commanded by the Duke of Aosta and thus has saved itself from the Teutonic purpose of cutting it off from General Cadorna's main line. Italian cavalry has come furiously to the aid of the retreating armies and, according to the messages received at the Italian embassy, have driven in the greatest cavalry maneuver since the battle of Charleroi. They are reported as holding back the enemy and harassing them so that their advance has been checked. Large detachments are still in the mountains. They have been surrounded, it la reported, but have sent out their carrier pigeons, announcing that they can hold out for ten days or two weeks. Trapped between the sector due west of Udine and the sea, 60,000 Italians laid down their arms, according to Berlin. This brought the total taken by Mackensen up to November 1, to more than 180,000, Berlin announced. P. M. R. R. CUTS TRAIN SERVICE Claim That Coal Shortage Compels Them to Revise Schedules. Lansing—Between 30 and 40 freight and passenger trains on the Pere Marquette system were discontinued temporarily on November 1, because of lack of coal. Officials distrust the action of the Pere Marquette. Brer since the reorganisation of that road, state officials declare there have been at* tempts to get rid of profitless branches. Sent to Waco From Custer—Objected to Service in Army. ALLY TROOPS GO TO ITALY'S AID Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas—After making several threats to take his own life rather than have anything to do with a business that involved the killing of fellow men, Private Walter Llniger, a selective soldier from Otsego, Mich., turned a rifle on himself in his tent Sunday night and blew his head off. Displaying the strategy of a general mapping out a campaign. Llniger waited until all his comrades in Company B, One-hundred and Twenty-sixth Infantry, had deserted the vicinity of his Washington--The Germans have captured the first American prisoners Berlin's official statement says that on the Rhine-Marne canal, as a result of a reconnoitering thrust, "North American soldiers were brought in." Thus the eagerness of the German command to capture Sammies has met success. Special money rewards the other inducements have been offered to the German soldieis who captured the first Americans. It is assumed, a small scouting party was surprised by a German patrol in No Man's land and captured. Details never may be fully told, since only captors and captives would know what happened under cover of darkness. American Front Quiet. The part of the front on which the Americans are undergoing their final training has been comparatively quiet for months. Raiding parties ar out nightly in No Man's Land, however, and it is believed that it was on one of these exploits that the Sammies were taken. The quarters.

BIG FOOD DEALERS LICENSED a report goes back on to the other side that a patrol of so many men is missing. Officers here believed that this was what happened on the French-American front.

San Francisco—Uniform minimum wage scales for the Pacific coast shipbuilding yards, a guide for all shipyards in the country, have been fixed by the United States shipbuilding labor adjustment board. The decision provides an Increase ot from 10 to 30 per cent over the old scale here. The decision, the first to be handed down by the board, declares that employes' "discrimination, interfering with the defense of the nation in time of war, against so-called 'unfair' materials, would be intolerable."

The young soldier sitting at the Other side of the taproom chipped In: "I remember living for a mouth on one bite, and that was out of my own leg." The old soldier flushed. "I don't believe it!"'he said, angrily. "Believe It or not, it's true!" said the young man. "A dog took a mouthful out of ray leg and the compensation kept me like a lord for four weeks."

RELIABLE REMEDY RESTORES KIDNEYS For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It is a physician's prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his private practise. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it will help you. No other remedy can successfully take its place. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.

I" THE GIRL WHO HAD NO GOD By Mary Roberts Rinehart CHAPTER XI—Continued. —10— "He Is sound asleep," she said smilingly. "He thinks I am someone named 'Elinor,' and he calls me t h a t As my own name is Sarah, It's rather pleasant." Ward had been shot on Sunday night. By the following Wednesday he was out of danger. On that same Wednesday the rector of Saint Jude's brought himself and his rheumatism back to his parish. For three days Elinor had hardly slept pr eaten. Never once had she been In Ward's room, but always, day and night, she was just outside. When on that Wednesday evening the doctor said Ward would live, she went down once more into her garden. Many times during those three days had Elinor tried to pray to Ward's God and found herself voiceless and inarticulate. But now, out of the depth of her great relief, came welling the first prayer of her life. She stood waist-deep among her phlox and larkspur. "I thank thee," she said. "I thank thee." . . . Nothing had been heard of Huff. The assault on the assistant rector of Saint Jude's had been of a line with the other mysterious happenings around the village. The little town was hag-ridden with fear. Extra constables had been sworn In, and from the hall, during her long night vigils, Elinor had seen many lighted windows, where there had been but the one. The problem of her future began to obsess her. It was plainly Impossible to stay on here—not that she feared exposure; she was quite past fear— but the thought of going on with her life was Intolerable. To meet Ward, to see again the scorn and loathing in his eyes, more than all, to continue to deserve them—those were the things that to Elinor seemed worse than death itself. All the philosophy that old Hilary had taught her failed her now. The revolt of the individual against laws made for the masses—what had It brought her but isolation and grief? Of what use was revolt? All must go through the mills of the gods. She knew that now. There were no exceptions. And something else she had learned: that If one is to live through great crises one must have a higher power to turn to for help. She Had felt It vaguely at the time of her father's death. Sitting outside Ward's door she had known It. Every breath had been a prayer to something, she knew not what, to save him. "I thank thee," she said again. The phlox and larkspur quivered about her as if under the touch of a gentle hand. Boroday had been free for three days, but beyond a telephone message announcing his release she had heard nothing of him. Over the wire he had advised extreme caution. She Judged from that that things were not going well. She knew that Huffs reckless crime would demand a scapegoat There were bound to be arrests. All this Elinor knew quite well. It was in such an atmosphere that she had drawn her earliest breaths—the play of cunning against cunning, wit against w i t She did not send for Boroday. She dared not. But because the intimacy between her and the middle-aged Russian had always been very close, he seemed to feel her need. And so, on that Wednesday night an hour or so after midnight he came. Old Henriette came down and tapped softly at Elinor's door. "Boroday," she whispered. "He has rung from the r.rbor." That was one of old Hilary's devices: a hidden wire from the arbor to tho house. It prevented collisions. Unless otherwise summoned, no member of his band ever came directly to the house. Elinor went ont and found him there. He bent over her hand and kissed i t as was his custom, and then, realizing that she was crying, he held out his arms and she went into them. Very tender was the Russian with her that night very fatherly. He put her Into one of the arbor seats and sat down beside her. "Now tell me," he commanded, "everything from the s t a r t It was Walter, I know. But why!* When she did not speak, the Russian nodded. "Jealousy, of course, but what madneMf* There la the arbor, wtth her hand between two of his, Elinor sobbed out the story of the pearl mid her attempt to return It, ilufTs threut uguinst Ward, Ward's evening visit, und the scene between them ; und lust of ull. the shot that had nearly ended everything in this world for Ward und for her. Boroday listened quietly ; better than old Hilary ever could, he understood. He had been reared on an undent faith. "He is recovering?" "Yes." "And he cures for you, of course7" "No. I think, perhaps, before he knew—" "Bah!" said the Russian, and rose. "What sort of love Is that which changes? I have seen the man. If he cured at all, he still cares." He stepped to the door of the arbor and drew a long breuth. Over on the next hill, sleeping through all this turmoil, lay old Hilary. Under these same stars Huff fled the law, Ward tossed on his bed, Elinor sat despairing and ashamed. What did it all mean? What was the answer? Perhaps, had he known It, old Henriette could have told him—Henriette, who had begun to measure her days from the end and not from the beginning, and who now sat on the edge of her bed mumbling. Between her fingers she ran the beads of an old rosary which she had found beneath a carpet. "I had thought," said Elinor wistfully, "that If I could get away somewhere and start all over again, perhaps some day I might be good—like other women. I can never go back to things as they were before." "No," said the Russian, "1 can see t h a t But make no mistake. You are good as few are good." "I could sell the house and—and I do not want the jewels. If only you and the others would divide them." But Boroday would not hear of this. To a certain extent he was reconciled to her going away. Things were closing in on the band. Before long they would probably all have to separate. It were better that Elinor be In safety. So for a long time they discussed ways and means, available money, the question of a home for old Henriette. "In some ways," Elinor said, "I feel as though I am deserting him." She "I understand," said the chief, "thut the Bryant pearl has been recovered." "Yes, und good work on the part of the force," was Talbot's comment. If the chief smiled under his heavy mustache, If there was the faintest possible twinkle lu Talbot's eyes, who was there to see'/ Talbot took the chief down to the station in his gray machine. They had chatted very pleasantly. But Just opposite the steps from Elinor's garden they blew out a tire. The cur swerved, suddenly throwing the light from the lumps along the bank. Standing In the shadows, and thus unexpectedly revealed, was Boroday. Talbot brought the car to a stop and jumped out. The Husslan had gone on down the hill. "Awfully sorry," said Talbot. "Looks as if you'd have to walk down. Perhaps you will tind another car to pick you up." "I shall rather enjoy the walk," said the chief, eyes ahead in the darkness. "Whose place is this?" Talbot glanced up and around. T r a afraid I don't know anything about the village." He opened the toolbox. The chief took two or three steps along the road and turned. "About here, wasn't It, that the Episcopal clergyman was shot?" "I cannot tell you that either. It was somewhere along this road." "Good night," sang the chief cheerily, and started down the hill. Boroday had corae out of the Hilary Kingston place. He knew that. Right here, almost where he stopped, was where Ward had been found. Then, In spite of old Hilary's death, the band was still using his house! Things were closing up. Boroday tramped on down the road. About one hundred yards behind the chief followed. Talbot, hammering at a recalcitrant tire, filled the air with the short, angry raps of his hammer on the rim. . . . The Russian had an almost uncanny sense of pursuit. More than once in his life it had saved him, and now he knew he was being followed. He made no attempt whatever to throw his pursuer off the track, but went directly to the station. There he got an evening paper at the closing news stand and glanced over it, standing under an arc light. For all his engrossment he saw quite distinctly the figure of the chief as he crossed the track and took up his station behind a pillar of the tralnshedt/ Boroday was thinking hard. It hod been that unlucky swerving of a machine on the hill that had betrayed him. He knew that now. And he had AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS "Bury Them In Old Hilary's Grave." glanced toward the graveyard where old Hilary slept. "But all I can think of now is to get away, to forget everything." "When will they be able to move Mr. Ward?" "In a week, I should think." "Then, in a week," said Boroday, "where do you think of going, Elinor?" "I had hardly got so far. Anywhere but here." "We shall have to plan for you." He picked up his soft hat and Elinor rose. "Good night, Elinor." "Good night. I am always happier for having seen you." He watched her back to the house, then went down the steps Into the road. There had been a dinner at the country club that night The chief had attended it, unknown to hostess and guests, to the extent of sitting in the grillroom during the evening and carefully watching the men who came and went. He had dined quite alone in the grill. From where he sat he could see the dinner-party guests on the veranda. There were noticeably few jewels to be seen. Over his chop and lager beer the chief smiled grimly. After that he shook dice for a short time with a young Englishman named Talbot, an interesting fellow. From him the chief got the club view of the Jewel robbery. "It's been coming to us for a long time," said Talbot shaking the dice, "Long ago I advised some of the women who had famous pearls to have copies made and keep the originals In their banks, but they disliked the idea of wearing imitations." «1 see." "Then a woman isn't satisfied to have a string of pearls; she must have It announced in all the papers. Of course crooks all over the country read about them, and naturally their fingers Men." Knowledge of the Hablta of Animals Makes Up for Crude Weapons and Lack of Endurance. In endurance and speed the Australian aborigine is not the equal of the American Indian, and his weapons of wood and poorly fashioned stones are effective only at short range, says the National Geographic Magazine. But as a hunter the native Australian Is marvelously adapted to his environment. His success lies In an intimate knowledge of the habits of the animals on land, ID the ground, in trees and under water, and his wonderfully developed power of observation. He decoys pelicans by Imitating their crys, catches ducks by diving below them, locates an opossum in a tree by marks on the bark or by the flight of mosquitoes, finds sharks by observing the action of birds and follows a bee to its store of honey. Any animal which leaves a track however dim in sand, on rock or in grass falls an easy prey to the native. Children are taught to track lizards and snakes over bore rocks and to find their absent mothers by following tracks too indistinct to serve as a guide for any European. When a white man is lost in the desert or a child strays from home the final resort is to secure a "black tracker.** Just come out of the Kingston places li was bud, very bad. Boroday rode all the way into th« city with the chief a dozen seats behind him. The chief did not follow hii.i home. He knew where he Jived, and he could lay his hand on him when he wanted him. He was going to want him now pretty soon. The Kussiaa knew that, too. When he had entered his apartment and turnwd on the light, he found HufT standing by a window. The hoy ducked buck as the light went up. For a moment the two eyed one another. Huff was unshaven, sunkeneyed, dirty. The contrast between this wild-eyed hoy und the tall Russian was strong. "Well?" said Huff defiantly. "Sit down." Boroday's tone was kind. He went to u closet -and got out a bottle of vodka. "When did you have anything to eat?" "I arn net hungry." Nevertheless Boroday forceu Ja Mm a Uttle bread au# meat "I didn't know you were out until tonight," Huff said at last, pushing his plate away. "Where have you been?" "Drinking my head off in a dive on Fortieth street," said Huff savagely. "I'm all right now." "What got into you, Walter? For you to turn on us like that—to expose everyone of us, as you have—" "She was in love with him. I wish Td killed him." Very patiently, Boroday told him what had happened. Over the matter of the Bryant pearl he passed as lightly as he could. But Huff realized the significance of Elinor's placing It in the almsbox. He went rather white. "We would have got off with the country club matter well enough, but this murderous frenzy of yours has finished us all. We'll have to break up and get away. I want you to go out to Elinor's tonight." "She will not see me." "I think she will," said Boroday. "1 want her to get away the first thing in the morning. Let her empty the vault.'* He hesitated. Elinor's fortune In Jewels was becoming a menace. Whoever took them In charge was possibly putting a halter around his neck. "Bring the Jewels to tne. if you have a chance. If It seems better, perhaps you'd better bury them out there." ."Where?" "You might," said the Russian thoughtfully, "bury them In old Ull* ary's grave." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Fifteen on the Fifteenth. Were I brought to believe that a birthday celebration is ever an affair of unmixed loveliness, I should perhaps be brought to say It concerning one for fifteen on the fifteenth. Fourteen on the fourteenth lacks flavor, is a little unripe, like fruit Imported before the real season is at hand. Sixteen on the sixteenth Is a little over-mellow, a little late; already childhood Is gone, and youth, however lovely It may be In the receiving of homage and favors, should already have its hands outstretched rather to bestow them. But fifteen on the fifteenth! There Is a golden mean and a time for all things, as the Scriptures and the fairy tnlea tell us. This was the time to dance, that King Solomon talks about. Like the "Tuney Bear's" soup in the old tale, this party to celebrate fifteen on the fifteenth seems to me as nearly right as things can be conceived In a world of chance like our own.—Lnura Spencer Porter, In the Atlantic. Rheumatism Superstition*. It Is when it comes to rheumatism that old superstitions come most definitely to the fore, and there are scores of cures and preventives which have come down through the centuries. One of these which the Belgians have introduced to the fighting men at the front is the wearing of a strip of catskin beneath the coat. According to the Belgians, this makes you Immune from both rheumatism and gout, and with the trenches deep with mud and ley water, the average soldier, whether in France or England, is only too glad to "tatfe a chance" on any sort of preventive, and it is said that scores of domestic prissy cats have been offered up as a sort of sacrifice to provide whole regiments with the coveted strip of far. The fad has spread to England, where "catakin** bands are now sold; but so far America has been content with the theory that the wearing of a steel ring, or the carrying of a potato in the pocket would keep off the dread aching of joints and muscle*. Exequatur in Diplomatic Use. Exequatur Is a Latin word, third person singular, present tense, subjunctive mood of the verb exequl, to execute or perform. It means "he may act," and Is the technical term applied to the permit which a government grants a foreign consul to not within its borders. A consul owes his appointment to his own government, but he cannot net until he has received an exequatur, or permit to act, from the government to which he Is accredited, and if he is an unacceptable person or for any reason offensive to the government where he is sent It may refuse to grant him an exequatur and he cannot act. Not only may the government of the country to^whlch a consul is sent refuse to grant him an exequatur, but, after It has been granted, that government may at any time revoke it for reasons of its own, tbua depriving the consul of the right to act.

Mr. W. limes Paterson of Red Cloud, Neb., writes that the change in that state since the dry law went Into effect is marvelous. He says : "On the 4th of July a celebration was held in this town, and I don't think I ever saw a quieter crowd In a place of Its size and not a single intoxicated person. Aiino.sc every family has an automobile and everywhere remarks such us 'Not a drunken man,' 'What a difference from other years,' 'We will never go back to it, "There is nothing can be said in favor of it/ are heard. There was not a single auto accident; not an Incident to mar the pleasure. The farmers' families were well-dressed, with money to spend. Even big cities that it was thought would be drastically affected by the sudden change, are vowing never again will they allow the curse to blight. There is absolutely no argument for Its continued use In any civilized country after the demonstration In the United States." A U T H O R I T A T I V E TESTIMONY. In a telegram to President Wilson, the mayor of Savannah, Ga., thus testified to the value of prohibition as an economic measure: "Prohibition in Savannah has produced astonishing economic benefits. Following are the percentages of reduction of arrests for crime: Assault with intent to murder, 04; burglary, 47; drunk and disorderly, 72; larceny, 50; larceny after trust, 76; murder, 86 2-3; lunacy, 54; number of convicts reduced, 50 per cent. Approximately 3,000 less calls for patrol wagon and 10,000 less articles pledged with pawnbrokers than in previous years of open saloons. Farmers and other employers of labor agree efficiency and reliability of labor Increased 50 per cent. Enormous quantity of grain required for production of alcoholic drinks Is urgently needed for food. It will be a crime to allow continued waste in this manner. National prohibition during war is of vital Importance." DRINK AND W H I T E 8LAVERY. Miss Kate J. Adams, .social worker of Chicago, and author of the Kate Adams law, tells us that girls are disappearing in that city at the rate of three every two days—more than 500 a year. Most of these are without doubt victims of the white slave traffic. "The federal government," says Miss Adams, "maintains a special white slave officer in all cities of 25,000 or more Inhabitants which have segregated vice districts, but"—note this statement particularly—"it is a significant fact that it is not necessary for the government to keep men in towns which are In dry territory, or In which there Is no regular 'line,' a point which proves what I have always maintained, that no vice district can thrive or even exist for any length of time without whisky." MAKE IT NATION-WIDE. The action of the government In prohibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers proves that it recognizes the fact that prohibition is right In principle and expedient In policy. Then why not extend it? If in the interests of health and efficiency enlisted men are given federal protection from Demon Rum, why not also the men who are doing war work at home? Why not the boys who will later be summoned to military service? To be fit for war and for the work of reconstruction after the war, America must conserve and strengthen every bit of physical and mental power in her citizenship. Protect the home, the office, the shop, from the raids of m m ! Give us nation-wide prohibition! TWO OF A KIND. The brewers used 68,400.000 bushels of grain in 1916. This grain would make annually cargoes for over a thousand vessels of 1,600 tons each. German submarines are sinking only about twenty vessels of all classes a week and but a small per cent of these are loaded with grain. Which is rendering the kaiser the better service, his submarines or the brewers of the United States ?—The American Issue. A GOOD MOVE. *It wouldn't 'be ft bad Idea," recently laid the Country Gentleman. **lf more tobacco growers agreed with the Wisconsin farmer who wrote to his expefUntHt station that he was gttng to put his tobacco lands into grain beesoss he fslt it his duty to grow crops fct food. In an emergency like this it |g fMttfc While to seat John Barley- 's* tfco toboggan with My Lady a d gLre them a good swift Tests Gas on Dogs. Stray dogs are being used by a professor iu Vale medical school to test out u new gus, which he believes to be more deadly than the chlorine combination used by the Germans, lie admits he is working on the poison gas problem, but says all further Information must come from the war department, wilh which he is in dully communication. • Because of thu widespread epidemic of rubies In the state of Connecticut, notes an exchange, the commissioner on domestic animals has placed a quarantine In ail the towns webt of the Connecticut river and ordered that all stray dogs be Impounded, and If i«> claim of ownersrlp Is made within 72 hours they are to be sent to the professor. GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER has been a household panacea all over the civilized world for more than half a century for constipation, Intestinal troubles, torpid liver and the generally depressed feeling that accompanies such disorders.

Royal Baking Powder saves eggs in baking In many recipes only half as many eggs are required, in some none at all, if an additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder is used, about a teaspoon, in place of each egg omitted. Try the following recipes which also conserve white flour as urged ay the government. Saving the Bullets. There are several kinds of airplanes adapted to different kinds of, military service and their equipment varies according to whether they are Intended chiefly for scouting, for bomb dropping or for gun fighting. On most of the machines of the last-named or battleplane type, a writer in the Scientific American says, a machine gun is so fitted as to point along on axis of the machine. The pilot, who is alone, directs the nose of his airplane at the enemy and fires across the propeller. Two plans were tried for preventing the propeller from being broken by the bullets. The first consisted of stopping the machine gun whenever the propeller came within the field of fire, but experience showed that frequent stopping of the gun with the propellers making 1,200 revolutions a minute ends In putting the gun out of order. Designers then placed steel plates on those parts of the propeller likely to be struck, and these plates turn the bullets that strike the propeller. It is mathematically calculated that only one bullet in eighteen Is wasted in this way.

Gray Matter Counts. *'Th^ author of this story is n clever chap." "That so?" "Yes, it takes brains to sell such rot."—Judge. Murder Will Out. A French woman with a sense of humor once told this story : She was walking up a flight of stairs In one of those Paris apartment houses with a mirror at the head of each landing. As she glanced up, panting, she thought she saw a woman descending. She said to herself: "Well, if I were that fat old woman I should knowT better than to dress in that ridiculous way." When she reached the head of the stairs she confronted herself. Verbal. Robert's father received this communique from his son, absent In the halls of learning. "Dear Father : I am sorry to say that I was mistaken when I wrote last week that the prof, had said that my abilities were mathematical. He said that they were problematical. Affectionately, ROBERT." Looks That Way. "You know these war rates?" "Yes." "Are they going to hurt matters?" "I dunno. I fear that. 3-cent postage Is going to put a lot of poets out of business." Reads Like Fiction. One of the most recent salvages yet recorded in these days of submarine warfare, says Popular Science Monthly, Is that of the Norwegian steamship Konsgsli, whose cargo of grain swelled to such an extent on the Inrush of water through the ragged hole torn In her side by a torpedo, that the hole was clogged up and the water prevented from flowing in and sinking her. A party of fishermen, clambering aboard to discover the trouble, were amazed to find that the ragged hole on one side and hull plates torn loose on the other by the force of the explosion had been effetlvely plugged by the swollen grain. The fishermen were afraid to attempt to tow her because the rush of the water along her sides might have washed away the effective grain seal. Accordingly, they Improvised bales made of cotton filled with grain and forced these Into the holes. This made the stoppage secure enough to enable the vessel to be towed to a nearby port. Through and Through. The two men in blue were exchanging confidences on the veranda of a big military hospital In France. "Did you go to that big society party they gave for us crocked fellows yesterday?" "Yes," said the other and shuddered. "What did you think of it?" "Believe me, old bloke, I'd rather have another ball go through me than go through another ball." Ridiculed His Wife. Mental cruelty was the ground upon which a woman obtained a divorce in Reno, Nev. The woman said her husband constantly ridiculed her, refused to be seen alone with her at public gatherings and frequently showed his friends a little book entitled "Foolish Things My Wife Has Said."

"What did she do when you told her It would cost 3 cents to send a letter hereafter Instead of 2?" "Cmph—she pot so angry she stamped her foot." Timely Evidence. "Have you a recommendation from your last place?" "Yes, mum. Here It Is." "Why, that's a wrist watch." "Yes, mum. The master of the house—a poor gentleman who's dead now—gave me that for cooking his eggs the way he wanted 'em." It takes a woman with sound judgment to generate silence.

Why does Mrs. Smith use Instant Postum Sometimes, because it agrees with Mr. Smith better than coffee. Sometimes, because she herself likes its constant rich, coffeelike flavor better than some coffees she has used. Sometimes, because the children are so fond of it, and she can give it to them freely when she would hesitate to give them coffee. There's a variety of reasons—all good ones—why so many consistent housewives are using INSTANT POSTUM And another reason, not to.be overlooked these times, is its reasonable cost.

More About Food Conservation. "1 call it plain stinginess," said one woman. How under the light of Heaven has it come about that people think it an unworthy thing to use all instead of part of our provisions? The American housewife is the most wasteful in the world. It is high time a reform is instituted. We are not asked to starve our families nor to deny them proper food, but no one with the "Milk of human kindness" in him could gorge himself while his brothers sit hungry and destitute. One of the good cooks of Pinckney has given as the plum pudding recipe. It is as follows: 1£ pints browned bread crumbs, 1 pint chopped raisins, 1 pint sweet milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in milk, £ cup molasses, \ enp sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and cloves. Steam 2 hours. Here is a breakfast cereal for the children: Heat bread crumRa in the oven until a delicate brown. Pour a very little syrup over them; mix well; return to oven a few minutes. Be careful not to burn. Here is something interesting to the farmers' wives: Make your winter syrup out of your windfall apples. Into seven gallons of sweet cider stir five ounces of powdered calcium carbonate. Boil a short time in a large kettle as it foams up some. Let it settle over night. Pour off the clear liquid, add a level teaspoon of the carbonate, stir thoroughly. Boil rapidly until thick. It is more delicate if not boiled down too much. This may be canned right away or left to settle and reheated next day. There will be a sediment in tho bottom—sugar sand which we ofteu find in maple syrup. It is best to cool very slowly so that it will be clear. This make* a gallon of fine ruby- colored syrup with a litte tartness in it, which reminns one of the old-timh sorghum. We think it is very fine. NEW CLASSIFICATION Dope for the Next Military Draft Given Out.

President Wilson had approved the new draft regulations which will be promulgated soon to govern selection of the remainder of registered men for the national army. The new plan aims to classify each of the 9,000,000 men not yet drafted in his place in the national scheme of defense, and to postpone drafting of men most needed in war industries and those having dependents. There will be provided a system which which will classify each of the 9,000.000 men who have not been inducted into military service and each man will have been given his place in the national scheme of defense. To do this, it has been determined to obtain from each man complete information of a character which;, will definitely fix his economic worth as compared with his fellow registrant and from information thus obtained to place him in one of five classes each to be called in turn as need ariae. The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered to which class he belongs and in what order the different classifications will be called to service: Class 1- Single men without dependent relatives. Married men or widower with children who habitually fails to support his family; married man dependent on wife for support; married man or widower with children not usefully employed, family supported by income independeut of his labor; men not included in any other description in this or other classes; unskilled laborer. Class I—Married man or father of motherless children usefully engaged but family has sufficient income apart from his daily labor to afford reasonably adequate support during his absence. Married man—no children— wife can support herself decently and without hardship; skilled farm laborer; skilled industrial laborer. Class 3—Man with foster children dependent on daily labor for support. Man with aged infirm or invalid parents or grandparents dependent on daily labor for support; man with brothers or sisters incompetent to supp rt themselves, dependent on daily tabor for support; county or municipal officer; fireman or policeman; necessary artificers or workmen in arsenals, armorand navy yards; necessary custom house clerk: persons necessary in transmission of mails; necessary employes in service of United States; highly specirlized administrative experts; technical or mechanical experts In industrial enterprise; highly specialized agricultural expert in agriculturhl bureau of state or nation; assistant or aaeociate manager of necessary agricultural enterprise.

By L. M. BENNINGTON. As the cold winds of winter are making doubly cheery the window garden in the sitting room, the prospects for a season of beauty in the garden next year occupies a great deal of thought and attention. If the whole garden outlook Is to be changed or If only a few improvements are to be made In Its outlines, the wtnter nights a r e the time to develop the changes that you are going to make in your home grounds. No really effective change has ever been made by experimenting without some planning. If you plan to make a Illy bed choose a well-drained spot for them, and if possible where the flower will have a background of evergreens, shrubs or screen of living green to set off their pale beauty. A background of climbing plants is also good. Dig the hed two feet deep and throw Into the excavation rubbish, tin cans, old shoes, rocks, brick bats and the like, insuring drainage, as the Illy cannot stand cold, wet feet. Enrich the soil with m a n u r e from the cow stable, worked well Into the poll with sand or sifted ashes. Plant the bulbs eight to twelve Inches deep, according to their size, In a pocket of sand. Just before the cold weather sets In cover the bed with n litter of old leaves, being sure that the storms of winter will not uncover the bed. Lilies want shade during the hottest part of the clay. Lilies are easy to force if the following instructions are carried out. Select large, sol^J, heavy bulbs of the Bermuda lily. Prepare soil that Is light, fine nnd very rich, with well-rotted manure— cow m a n u r e is best. Fill a large pot half full, then press In three bulbs, allowing them to touch one another, with three Inches of soil between them and the pot. «• The size of the pot depends upon the size of the bulbs. The bulbs should be set in a nest of sand and sur-' rounded with it. Then cover the bulbs with about two inches of soil and place the pots In a cool corner of the cellar, allowing the bulbs to make plenty of root growth. In about six weeks the roots should appear plentifully outside of the ball of earth, and when this happens the pots are ready to be taken into light and warmth. As the stalkajshoot Tip, fill the pots with earth to within an inch of the rim of the pot. Do not put the pots in a hot, dry atmosphere at any time, but at first they should be kept Just above freezing. Little by little accustom them to the air of the living room. LATE FALL AND WINTER HINT? By BETTY PAKE. When the ground is frozen hard enough to bear a team, haul mulch to the s t r a w b e r r y bed, the newly planted trees and shrubs, the borders and beds of roses, hardy perennials, etc. If you have a bed of horse radish or other perennial you wish to get rid of, dump a load of fresh manure upon it and leave it there until later in the spring. This is a good way to destroy clumps of poison Ivy. The aspidistra is a plant that will thrive In almost semi-darkness. Is Insect proof, does not require rich soil, nnd g e t s ' a l o n g if almost no attention is paid to it. Early in December dig up a compact lilac, syrlnga or day Illy, in fnct almost any of the hardy shrubs or perennials, pot or box them, nnd put in a cool cellar. A month before they are wanted to bloom bring Into a warm room, and give attention as regards, sunlight, water, air and ventilation. They develop fast, nnd give quick and ample returns for the trouble taken with them.

The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up In the system is the cause of gout and rheumatism, that this uric acid poison Is present In the Joints, muscles, or nerves. By experimenting and analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, painslfcere or there, you can obtain Anuric, double strength, at any drug store and get relief from the pains and Ills brought about by uric acid; or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric whjch you will find many times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you. Send a Bample of your water to Dr. Pierce and It will be tested free of charge. Anuric is a regular insurance and lifesaver for all big meat eaters and those who deposit lime-salts In their joints. CLEVELAND NEWS Cleveland, Ohio.—"Anuric h a s cer* talnly been of wonderful help In rel i e v i n g my limbs and joints of rheumatic pains.

WORK WILL BEGIN DECEMBER 15 All Registrants Will Be Obliged to Fill Out Blanks So Government Can Place Them Correctly. Washington—President Wilson for. inally put the new machinery for t h e carrying out of the selective draft bill into operation Saturday with publication of the foreword h e had written to the regulations under which the second call will be m a d e . The regulations themselves and the questionnaires, which more than 9,000.- 000 r e g i s t r a n t s will be required to fill out, have been forwarded to local boards. New Call Next February. W a r d e p a r t m e n t officials estimate that the whole process can be completed within 60 days. This means that no seeond call will be m a d e upon t h e draft forces before the middle of next February, as the period of classification will not b,egin until December 15th. The president describes the new plan of dividing all r e g i s t e r e d men not already mobilized into five classes, subject to military service by classes, as being intended to produce "a more perfect organization of our m a n power." Government Wants Status. Under its terms the exact physical, mental, moral, social, commercial and industrial status of every registrant will be fixed. It will give the governm e n t data on how many shipbuilders, foresters, bricklayers, hod-carriers, musciana and every other type of man power is at its disposal. Speedy mobilization and equipment of units for any war task will be possible, efficiency that was practically impossible under the old draft system. The new method will enable the government to exempt men with closer regard to the nation's labor needs in all lines. "The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclusion," the president said, and he added that there must be made a complete inventory of qualifications of each r e g i s t r a n t s in order to determine the place In the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the nation in which his experience and training can best be m a d e to serve the common good," • Selling Soldiers Liquor * • Costs Two $1,000 Each • • • • Detroit—Floyd Good and Eddie • • Wall were sentenced to pay fines • • of ^1,000 by Federal J u d g e Tuttle, • • when they pleaded guilty to • • charges of selling liquor to sol- * • diers in Battle Creek. * licensing of handlers of certain basic • T h r e e others, indicted on • • t h e s a m e charges by the • • grand jury, -were arraigned. * • Guy M.

EEL TRADE IS DEMORALIZED HEAL BABY RASHES That Itch, Burn and Torture With Cuticura— Trial Free. immense Lump of Steel Is to Be Turned Into New Type of Slxteen- Inch Naval Gun. There has just been cast ut the Bethlehem steel works a monster ingot for the first of the 16-inch rifles that are to arm the great new battle cruisers of the United States navy, under construction at Camden. So far as known, writes a Bethlehem (Pa.) corespondent of the Philadelphia Record, the foremost ship of this class now afloat is the British cruiser Lion, with engines of 110,000 horse power. Her speed is a bit better than 40 miles an hour and she carries 14-inch guns. The American battle cruisers will have engines of 200,000 horse power and each will be armed with four 16-lnch rifles, which will shoot 20 miles. From present indications there will be six of them and Bethlehem has the order for all the guns, which will be the largest on any ships of this kind in any navy. The ingot required the contents of three open-hearth furnaces, being 15 feet 7 Inches long, 100 inches in diameter and weighing 310,000 pounds. It will take several weeks to cool such an enormous mass of metal, after which It will be cut, bored and hollow forged on the great armor plate press into a tube 80 feet long. It Is proposed to finish these 16-lnch guns in record time In the new gun shop, which is wide enough to turn the tube around, with room to spare. Special lathes and other machinery had to be constructed to handle these guns, whose parts, such as Jackets, rings and yokes, a r e already being forged.

Electric Device for Blind. A Purls scientist, M. ('has. Lambert, has devised a method of writing which will be very useful for blind persons, especially mutilated persons who have lost their hands or forearms, the reading of the signs being done by a specially designed electrical device. In the first place the characters composing the text are printed in Morse alphabet on the same method as is employed for producing letters in relief on letter paper, that is by printing with a thick paste which then solidities and leaves a raised letter. This method now replaces the old embossing process where cost is an item, for It Is much cheaper. The only difference from the usual Morse alphabet is to place the dashes vertically instead of horlzontallly. Itea-ding of these characters can then be done by persons deprived of their hands, by the use of a very simple electric device which is run over the characters In relief which are printed with a special metallic Ink. Catchers of Elongated Slippery Fish in Thames River Among Others Affected by the War. (lood Queen Bess' fondness for the Dutch eel Is keeping one man in J>iii uln in a state of forced idleness, observes the New York Sun. In the eurly part of her reign a boat laden with eels sailed up the T h a m e s and part of the cargo was sent to the virgin queen as n gift. Her majesty was so delighted with the, at that time, novel dish, that she grunted Skipper Vlsjerzonen a charter which made the liiver Thames free to him and his descendants, absolved him of all river dues and gave his descendants the right to moor at a certain spot in the river forever. But one condition of the charter was to the effect that the mooring place always must he occupied by some of their boats. If at any time the place was unused the privilege would cease. For 300 years the descendants of the fortunate skipper have plied their t r a d e in the Thames, always retaining their original mooring place. But the war broke out, the eel trade fell off considerably and the submarine activity completely killed it off about two years ago. Captain Yillurn, the last arrival In charge of an eel boat, has since that period been to all intents and purposes marooned. To maintain his rights it has been necessary to stay in the river, and until the war ends this condition will be fulfilled. He replies to questions as to the length of his exile that he expects to stay for two or three years; vet. 37% More Fo r Yo u r Money , Get the Genuine CASCARA\ D QUININE No advance in price for chia 20-yearold remedy—25c for 24 tablets—Some cold tablets now 30c for 21 tablets— Figured on proportionate cost per tablet, jrou save 9%c when you buy Hill's -Curea Cold in 24 hours—»rip in 3 days-—Money back if it fail*. 24 Tablat* for ZSc.

No one ever knew Old Davy fo become in the least excited, nor did he ever waste a word. One summer day he was rowing along in his boat when a dory containing five or six young summer people was capsized near him. Naturally there wvre screams and wild confusion, in the midst of which Davy rowed over to the scene of the disaster and said placidly to the young people who were clinging to the oat, screaming for help : "Hadn't you better get in?"

They looked at many h o u s e s ; but none suited her, because the bathroom was on the second door. Finally, she found a place with a bedroom and bath on the first floor, so they bought it. Her friends were curious to know why she had to have the bath on the ground floor. She explained t h a t in a short time her husband would be helpless, on account of his age, and she wanted everything convenient for caring for him. And then—just as they were getting ready to move into town -she died.—' Cleveland Plain Dealer. New Cause for Worry.

In hue with a previously announced policy of the war department to have attached to each division such foreign officers as are necessary to impart information regarding European warfare that is essential before going overseas, 11 English officers have ar F I F T E E N T H O U S A N D P A R A D E AT r l V e d at Camp Custer C A M P — A L L I E D O F F I C E R S W A T C H S P E C T A C L E . UNIT OF OBJECTORS IS FORMED Number of Conscripts Who Balked at Military Training Placed In One Company—Do Kitchen Work. Lansing. In the presence of an Immense "gal iery," two-thirds reininme. the Eightyfifth division of tbe new National •army marched in Its first review at Camp Custer lam week It was the largest military dem on8tration ever held in Michigan. The review itself was a splendid spectacle. In the dignified presence of Major.General Dick man and his distinguished guests from the British and French armies, 15,000 men wheeled across the parade ground, in platoon formation. No fancy evolutions were attempted, but the division had the appear ance of a military machine. As inspiring as was the review itself, a massing of 15,000 men in uniform under the observing eyes of official representatives of allied nations, the real thrill to those who, two or three months ago, saw these men straggle into camp, in civilian clothing, un trained, dressed in a thousand varieties of clothing, and generally disinterested, to all appearances, in military life. The change In these men is remark able. They marched well, saluted with snap and well merited the tre mendous cheering they received. Major-General Dickman was obviously much impressed by the showing of the new army, while the townspeople and visitors from about the state could scarcely believe their eyes. Although the largest military spectacle ever held in Michigan, this record cannot long be allowed to stand, for by the time another review is called for there will bo 36,000 men to partclpate. The new officers are quartered with the French officers in the foreign officers' barracks and will probably remain with tbt> division until it goes overseas. So far as the camp is concerned, it is ready and waiting Tor the entire quota of men. Barracks are completely fitted to receive the uew contingent of recruits and the quartermaster's department formally declared that it would be able to supply uniforms and equipment to the entire quota immediately. Not only Is Camp Custer waiting for the new men, it is anxious to see them on their way as soon as possible. They will be more than seven weeks behind men already here in training even though they arrive at the earliest date and when it is considered that a recruit's first few days in camp net him little, the seven weeks can be stretched to eight without mis treating the seriousness of the situation. In other words, the men will be half way through their training by the time the last *5 per cent of the division's quota is ready for instruction. The fact must be faced that this variation can scarcely be equalized in the two months of the training three j schedule which remain. Naturally the came n e w m e n WJU progress rapidly as the camp is better organized, and the routine has been firmly established. Unit of Objectors Formed. Holding fast to religions tenets varying from those most commonly accepted, varying from prohibitions against killing even in self protection to protest against meat eaUng and Saturday drilling, Camp Custer's con. scientious objectors are now formed In one company, the twenty third of the depot brigade. For a time when these men first came to camp, they were confined in barracks and later In the guardhouse, because of their refusal to don the army uniforrm and participate in drilling. It was believed a scant diet and confinement would break their oddities and make them pliable for shaping into soldiers, There was no desire on th% part of division officials to place upon them the severe penalties provided in such cases. But so sincere and well-grounded were their beliefs that shouldering a rifle and firing at enemies would bar them forever from the mansions In the skies, that the punishment Inflicted had no effect at ail, and it was decided, until a final disposition is made of them, to form them into one company. So far as possible the whims of each one are allowed to have sway, police duty and other work, which are not In line of preparation for direct engagements in battle, being their main occupations. State Wheat Nearly Normal . Wheat conditions in Michigan are 84 per cent normal, according to the November crop report. The average yield of corn per acre is 16.11 bushels; of beans. C.SD, and potatoes, 98.4. The acreage of both beans and potatoes is considerable above normal. Cloverseed is 58 per cent normal. The estimated total number of bush-' els of wheat marketed in the last three months is 1,:150,000. In accordance with an order compelling them to report immediately after threshing, farmers have reported to the secretary of state the following bushels of grain threshed up to and including November 1 : Wheat. 11,940,859; rye, 3,960,594; oats, 36,105,208; barley, 2,856,998; buckwheat, 68,081; peas, 83,985. Although reports have been received of the beans threshed, considerable is yet on the field and the returns are too scattered to be of benefit. No Choice Given Men in Transfers. Steps to prevent a flood of applications for transfers from one regiment to another by men who wish to be with some friend, or who prefer, for no reason In particular, another arm of the Bervice than that In which they are, have been taken by the division commander at Camp Custer. These were contained in the order permitting transfers, which has just been given out. No man may be transferred from one unit to another unless some good service results, the order states, mere individual preferences being Ignored unless backed by particular fitness The order was issued because the recent first muster of the 85th division makes it possible to place men in units to which they are better suited, a thing which could not be done before, CAMP CUSTER NOTES 8tate Ready for Next Loan Drive. Michigan is ready for the third Liberty loan, whenever it comes, and in Camp"Custer crossing to let off offi- Foot ball teams are. being formed among the various regiments to compete for three beautiful cups which have been offered as prizes, The Michigan Central has arranged to stop train No, 46. from Chicago, at the next campaign will sell a much larger number of bonds, and for a vastly greater aggregate amount than in either the first or second loans. That was the sentiment at a dinner given at Detroit in honor of the chairmen and their associates in the 39 counties of the eastern half of the lower peninsula of Michigan, who directed the work of placing the second Liberty loan In that part of the state. Chairmen from 15 counties attended, besides Frederick R. Fenton, Chicago, chairman of tbe Michigan division of the Federal Reserve hank for the seventh reserve district, in which Michigan is located, and A. w Bui lard, Chicago, secretary of the seventh district reserve bank. cers and soldiers in uniform who notify the conductor. Many soldiers and officers now spend part of Saturday or Sunday in Kalamazoo. The new interurban line between the camp and that city is running on a fast schedule and is doing a heavy business. Officers who are compelled to wear natty uniforms are sighing for some of the good old German or British woven arfd dyed cloths, wnich gave such satisfactory wear. Cloth used now is not only very expensive, but its wearing qualities are dangerously low.

Shots and a succession of explosions attracted a crowd, which was overawed by the robbers, who, after cleaning up the money in the safe, escaped as they came, in two large automobiles. After completing their work the robbers left in a southerly direction, but soon after one automobile returned to the village and took an easterly route. That the robbers are professional bank robbers is indicated by the quality of the safe-wrecking tools they left behind them. The thieves got every cent in the bank except $75 in gold, which was dropped upon the floor in the getaway. There is reason to believe the gang is the same which has of late been operating in western and southern Michigan. The Concord bank's loss is covered by insurance. Factors Fighting for * Supremacy in Russia. * MAXIMALIST —Believes that the Socialist state should be es. tablished in Russia immediately. From the Latin maximus, meaning the most you can get. Lenlne and Trotzky are maximalists. MINIMALIST—Thinks that the establishment of a fully socialistic state would be picking the plum before it is ripe and that the best policy is to go slowly. From minimus, meaning, accept what you can get with safety. Kerensky and Tzeretelli are minimalists. BOLSHEVIKI—Express Russia's anarchistic feelings. They hate the wealthy class and plan for the dictatorship of labor. They want a separate peace. They correspond in a degree to the I. W. W. in the United States. • * • FINLAND BREAKS AWAY FROM RUSSIA S E P A R A T E N A T I O N IS F O R M E D - ^ S T A T E OF W A R D E C L A R E D T H R O U G H O U T L A N D .

Washington—The Russian embassy in Washington announced Saturday it would refuse t© accept the authority of the Maximalist government. A statement issued by the Russian embassy said: "The Petrograd events are a revolt of a party against a national government. The Maximalists are in no way representative of the whole of Russia. If they have succeeded in seizing power and form a 'Maximalist government,' such a government cannot express the will of the nation. Consequently, the Russian embassy in Washington will refuse to accept its authority." BREAD PRICE EXPECTED TO DROP Government Regulations W i l l Rule Baking Industry. Washington—The average cost of manufacturing baker's bread, as shown in a report to the food administration by federal trade commission investigators, is slightly less than seven and one-half cents a pound. The ingredient cost is 83 and the selling cost 17 per cent. On the basts of the report, the food administration has drawn regulations governing the baking Industry, which will be put into force in the immediiate future. Under rules as drawn, prices are expected to fall. Bakeries in which Investigations were conducted were wholesale establishments and chain store bakeries.

ETC. /1AKY ROBERTO WMEMART T' '£/K', ' CHAPTER X I I . —11 — It was only an hour or so before dawn when Huff got to the hall. There were no trains between midnight and morning. And Talbot's car, which he might have used, had beeu long delayed by his burst tire. He took a Buburbau trolley line for perhaps half the distance and walked the rest. At four o'clock In the morning he pressed the arbor button, and old Henrtette, grumbling at this second disturbance of her rest, roused Elinor again. Time was precious. Huff, having rung the announcing bell, made his way up through the dew to the house. And so it was that Elinor, opening the house door, met him face to face. As she recoiled from him, he closed the door. "I have brought you a message from Boroday," he said swiftly. "I've been a fool and scoundrel and—it's about all up." Elinor hardly realized what he was saying. The light of horror had hardly died out of her eyes. To her, Walter, once her lover, now typified all of suffering and nearness to death that lay in old Hilary's room upstairs. "The first train leaves the city at six o'clock," he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "It is hardly likely they will be out so soon, but under some pretext or other they will search the house this morning." "How can I leave the house now? Upstairs in father's room—" "I know," he put In hastily. "I know all about It. Elinor, I am sorry, I am wildly sorry. It's no excuse to say I was crazy, but I was." "If I go away," Elinor said, with white lips, "how will they manage about him? The nurse needs so many things, and I—I see that she has them." A flame leaped into the boy's eyes. "If you care for him like that— what are you going to do about It? Even if he cares for you, you cannot marry him. If he ever found out about you—" "He will never marry me. And—he does know." The fact that Ward knew the truth about Elinor and the band brought back to him their common peril. He thrust aside, for the time at least, his passion and his despair; and calmly directed his energies toward preparing the house for the inevitable search. So systematic had old Hilary been that there were few papers to destroy. Such of the ledgers as were incriminating he burned in the furnace. Elinor's box of jewels he carried upstairs and placed on the library table. Such settings as had remained from the country club raid, after the gems had been taken out, he melted together In old Hilary's crucible and placed the gold and platinum nugget In Elinor's box. He had set the safe to a simple combination and closed It. Except for its size, and for the protective wiring burled in Its walls, It might have been a family safe, built by a nervous and «lderly gentleman living in the count r y to hold his silver spoons. -^ It was too late by that time to bury the box as Boroday had suggested. iHuff did "the next best tiling. He buried it carefully in Elinor's garden, •under a clump of crimson phlox. Elinor worked hurriedly, but with hopeless eyes. Her preparations consisted in little more than putting on the clothing in which she meant to travel. I n this new life on which she was entering she wanted little to remind her of the old. A letter to Henriette contained enough money to pay joff the servants and the household accounts. In another envelope she folded the deed to the house and a note conveying i t to Henriette. 'Ton can sell it," she wrote. "Goodtoy, dear Henriette. I shall never for- ,get yon, and if ever it is possible, be sure I shall see you again." ! T h e time came, Just before dawn, when she and Walter stood again face t o face In the library. Huff was going at once. It was not fcjoroday's plan that any of them •hould further incriminate Elinor by feccompanying her to the train. At a Sound of steps on the stairs, Huff started. "The nurse going down, probably for Ice," she explained. "He is getting better, isn't h e r "Yes, bnt he still suffers at times." When the steps had died away, Elinor slowly drew off her engagement ring, and held it out to him across the table. Although he was watching her, lie made no move to take it, and she laid it down, between then on the table. «1 don't think we need talk about It Walter," she ssid simply. There, is aotnlng to say, is thsrer ^2¾ "I suppose not," he returned bitterly. He added : "If only you will try not to hate me, Elinor." "I do not hate you. But If he had died—" Huff came swiftly around the table and taking both her hands in his, held them to his throat with a despairing gesture. "If I didn't know that it would make you more unhappy," he said slowly, "I'd kill myself today." "Walter!" "I tell you now. It won't change matters any, but perhaps it will change your memory of me. Ever since I've known you I've- had one dream. You were to marry me and I was going to turn straight. I could have done it with your help. But now—" He dropped her hands and turned away. Elinor watched him wistfully. The one thing he wanted she could not give. There could be no compromise between them. It must be all or nothing, and she had given her all to someone else. In the doorway he turned and looked back at her with haggard eyes. It was as if he were Impressing on his memory every light and shadow of her face; every line of her straight young figure. Then he went out into that darkest hour of the night that precedes the dawn. For the first time since his Injury Ward's mind was quite clear. He had not been able to sleep, and the nurse had been reading to him. Strange reading, too, for the assistant rector of Saint Jude's. The books old Hilary had kept on his bedside still lay there. Even t h e nurse, accustomed to many books for many men, was gently outraged. Ward lay in his bed, his eyes half closed, listening intently. At last the nurse put down the book. "Why, it's frightful, it's outrageous, it's blasphemous I Do you really think I should read you any more of them?" Ward smiled feebly. "If you are afraid of the effect on you." "Not a t all," said the nurse almost sharply, and picked up the book again. Ward lay back on his pillows and listened to the age-old arguments. So it was on such literature as this that Elinor had been reared! How fair a plant to have grown thus in the dark! And a s the nurse droned on, Ward came to realize how natural and how inevitable had been her development. Reared in such soil, what might he himself not have become; and more than that, would he have been one-half so sweet, so tender, so—good? Toward dawn the nurse slept in her chair. Her cap had fallen a little crooked, and the beautifying hand of sleep had touched away the small furrows between her eyes. Plain she was, but kindly and full of gentleness. Ward, lying awake, watched her. She was no longer very young. He thought of the children who should have clung to her broad, flat bosom and felt the touch of her tender hand. Then,"* because, curiously enough, everything of gentleness and tenderness reminded him of Elinor, his thoughts swung round to her. He closed his eyes, and dreamed the dream that had been with him, subconsciously, all the night. To take her in his arms, and by teaching her love, teach her infinite love; by showing mercy and forgiveness and great tenderness, to lead her by these. His attribute, to the Christ—this was his dream. And because it brought hope and healing and great peace,- after a time he slept. Elinor, standing alone in the house outside his door, took courage from his even breathing and ventured in. So light was his sleep that she dared not touch him. She knelt very quietly by the bed, and kissed the corner of his pillow. • • • • • • • Ward spent his Sabbatical year in Oxford. He had thought to find peace by exchanging one form of activity for another, but with the leas arduous duties of his work there h e had more time to think. He found the old pain even greater; his restlessness grew on him. In the three years since Elinor's flight he had done many things. He had left Wofflngham for New York, and could feel his usefulness now only bounded by bis strength. But the old zest of life was gone. He was restless, heavier of spirit There bad been times when he had thought that he was forgetting, only t o discover, through a stray resemblance, while his heart pounded and his blood raced, that his forgetting was only the numbness of suffering. Once, o n the Strand In London, h e came face to face with Boroday. Ward would never forget that meeting, its quick hope which died into the old ache at lioroday's words. "I have not seen her," he suid. "I am always looking. 1'erhaps she is wise, to breuk with us all. Still, we loved her. I have never married, and she was like my own child." He had taken a clerkship in London, he said. While, of course, he did not suy so, Ward read between his words that he was done with the old life for good. He held out his hand and the Russian took it. "If I hear anything," Boroday said, "I'll let you know. Once or twice she wrote me; from Liverpool once, after she landed, and again from here. Then the police closed up the Dago's place, which was the only Way she knew to reach me. I've never heard since." "Then you think she may be in Eugland?" Ward asked eagerly. The Russian shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps, if she Is living. She was not strong. Sometimes I wonder—" So, after all, Ward took an extra pang away with him from the chance meeting. What If, after all, his watching and waiting meant nothing? If she were gone, beyond earthly finding? Death for him might be a beginning only, a door to eternity, but all the philosophy and hope of his faith did not fill his empty human arms. That night he walked the London streets until dawn. He came back from Oxford at the end of his course there. Home was calling, and work, blessed work, that brings forgetfulness. On the last Sunday before he sailed he attended service in Saint Paul's. He knew the church well. In those earlier days when philosophy had taken his young brain by storm and his faith had rocked, he had gone to Saint Paul's. Something in the very solidity of the old church, In its antiquity, in the nearness of those dead-and-gone great ones of the earth who had lived and died secure in his teachings, had steadied him. And now, when It was his heart that failed, and not his soul, he went there. It was there that he found Elinor. She was Just in front of him, In the prim garb of an English army nurse. They Came Face to Face Again. And it was no resemblance that roused his first Interest. What he saw was only a slender girl, kneeling, and evidently in tears. She wns very thin; he saw that, and her shoulders heaved convulsively. But as the service went on she grew quieter. When she rose from her knees at last, she was quite calm. It wns then that he knew her. Ward watched her with an ache in his throat. She looked frail, snd. Always In his mind he had pictured her in her summer garden, a flower herself among her flowers, or as she had looked that night In old Hilary's library, the night when, to save him, she had told him the shameful truth about herself. And now he found her here, wearing the garb of service, and on her knees! So Tearful was he of losing her that he stayed close as the congregation moved slowly out of the church. She did not Intend to go; he saw t h a t She stepped out of the crowd and waited. He thought it probable that she was seeking what he himself had once sought—a quiet hour under a holy roof. And so it was that they came face to face again. She put her hand to her throat, with the familiar gesture, when she saw him. For a moment neither of them spoke. The ordinary greetings were out of place, and what was there to say? It was Ward who spoke at l a s t "It doesn't seem quite possible, Elinor," he said. She had never been "Elinor" to him save In his thoughts. But neither of them noticed. "I am sorry yon have found me. I have tried so hard to bury myself," It was increasingly hard for him t o speak. All the things that had Iain in his heart for three years clamored for soeedL "You are-- quite welt again?" "Perfectly. liut you? You are thinner." "1 have worked hard and, of course, I have suffered. It was not easy—to tear myself away from the f*-'W friendB 1 had " And then, at last, he broke Into speech, rapid, incoherent. He blamed himself for his hardness that night in old Hilary's library, lie condemned himself for a thousand things. She listened, rather bewildered, with the old wistfulness in her eyes. "Why should you say such things?" she usked at last, when lie stopped from sheer panic. "You were right. I was a criminal. I have been learning tilings since then. You were always kind to me. I have never forgotten." "Kind!" He almost groaned. She held out her hand. "I must go now. My time is not my own." She glanced down at her uniform. "Do you remember what you said to me once about the brotherhood of man? I have been trying to live up to that." Ward took her hand. It was very cold. "Do you remember that?" "I remember almost everything you told me. Even the things, that night, while I was watching the clock. I rt» member them all." The church was empty, save for a verger here and there, busy about his duties. Quite suddenly Ward lost his composure. "Acd I—I remember everything too. Your smile, your eyes that night when I was carried into the house—oh, my dear, my dear, you are written on my heart." He bent over, shaken and pale, and kissed the palm of her hand. "It is you who are good," he said huskily. "I, who talked smugly of virtue and tenderness and pity, and who let you go out of my life—I care for you more than I care for anything in this world. I want you—I want you." Elinor's eyes turned toward the high altar with its cross. Always, when she looked at it, she had seen the cross at Saint Jude's, and the dawn, and sparrows drinking out of the wet gutter at her feet. "I want you," said Ward, and waited, frightened. But her eyes came back to him, clear and full of promise. "I have always loved you," she s&ld simply. "I will go with you. And your God shall be my Oc<d." (THE END.) CURED BY SERVICE IN ARMY Confederate Veteran, Condemned by Doctor to Die In Six Months, Alive and Hearty at 77. "It is a curious thing how war service has been the making of many a man in a physical sense," remarked MaJ. W. B. Howard of New Orleans, a Confederate veteran. "When I went into the Confederate army my doctor told me that I had tuberculosis and the chances were against my living for six months longer. I was weak and emaciated to a painful degree, and I had not the remotest doubt but that my doctor had made a true prophecy. "I had made up my mind to join General Lee's army anyway, and, after the mournful diagnosis of the physician, I was doubly anxious to go to the front. 'If I am- going to die of disease,' thought I, i t were just as well to have my existence terminated by a Yankee bullet.' Lo and behold! here I am now a sprightly old man of seventy-seven and with no idea of shuffling off the mortal coil for at least another decade. That four years' service in the Confederate army in:1 do me heaHhy and robust, and my experience wns that of many another weakling. Life In the open air and sunshine heats all the medicine in the world, and you will find that the boys who come back frnm the battlefield* of Europe, if any of them go over there, will return much bettor specimens of physical manhood than whoa they went." Drier for Photographers. Chloride of calcium is sometimes used to absorb moisture and keep certain photographic products dry, such as platinum paper or carbon paper; but a photographer has discovered that cardboard of the heavy kind will act as a good drier. The card is used in rough sheets, it being well dried by heat and then wrapped In waxed paper so as to leave only the edge of the board free and thus not absorb moisture too quickly. One of Many.

Because it teaches us to be unselfish and help bring to others the things we might ourselves afford to go to the city to hear, 9. Because no one ever heard a vulgar or dirty suggestive story told or a song sung by a lyceum course attraction. 10.

The various divisions of the brain are described in detail, but perhaps the most interesting part is the comparison of the brains of queens, workers and drones. The worker has a larger brain than the queen, aud as the difference between queeu and worker is the result of diet during the grub stage It appears that the food which develops else of body and fertility is not best for the growth of brain.

This was $31,495,050 in excess of the I the best manner of Europe.

AB instructors, there are the experienced artillerymen of the brigade, tome of whom have been instructors at Fort Sill, and the foreign artillery officers and non-commissioned officers who have been through the mill in Europe Several commissioned officers and non corns from each of the tield artillery companies are the students, they will take a month's course and then give ; way to a new bunch. The instruction given at first is entirely theoretical with daily lectures at brigade headquarters. Later actual work will be done on the new artillery range, 5,000 yards long, stretching south from Detroit Hill, paralleling the rifle range. Here practical instruction in the sheltering and hiding of guns, in observation and communication will be had. Shots will fall in the swamp, will be obs-erved from posts in trees, on ridges, in heath, all concealed after 250,000. The campaigners of the state did not stop to rest when they were assured that the minimum had been reached, but kept pegging away vigorously at the task of narrowing the distance to the maximum. So far as the minimum quota was concerned, all but a few of the Michigan counties went "over the top," and it is a matter of record that the counties which made the most favorable showings had the most effective organizations in the field. Some of the counties failed to realize their early expectations and the members of the state organization will try to discover the whys and wherefores before another campaign is launched.

Pere Marquette Service Under Fire. J Complaints are pouring iatd the state railroad commission's offices regarding abandoned service on the Pere Marquette. Several villages and towns aver they are practically without communi cation to the outside world, except by motor routes, and ask relief. The Pere Marquette has abandoned service on many of its lines, due to lack of coal. One letter received by the railroad commission from Elk Rapids reads in : part as follows: ' "When we were given notice that train service was to be discontinued, we were told it was because of a shortage of coal, and we believed the partial service we had would be restored, but we find that it is not the ; Intention. "Our village is ruined. I "Our mail service has been taken from us. One day last week our mail went out of here in the afternoon car-; tying $9,000 of registered matter and that pouch lay in the freight house at Williamsport unwatched until 10 o'clock the next forenoon." Numerous other complaints by wire, mail and delegations are received Jaily from towns where the service fias been curtailed. everything up to the time the conscript boards the train for Camp Custer. Under the old system of obtaining recruits the expense of recruiting stations, officers, advertising and all other items, made the initial cost approximately $100 per man. in some instances it ran higher, as recruiting parties in peace times were often stationed in places for weeks at a time without sending a single man to Columbus barracks. Provost Marshal General Crowder has asked for detailed information concerning the cost of the draft in Michigan, U. 3. and State Trade Land. Michigan has finally completed arrangements by whidh 43,972.92 acres of state land have been traded for an equal acreage of United States land. Deeds are expected in a few days which will put the state into possession of lands which have been 30ught for years. Both state and national governments have owned tracts of land within parcels owned by the other. The trade now blocks out the holdings of each, doing away with conflicts. * The state acquires in Alcona, Oscoda, Alpena, Cheboygan, €rawford, Roscommon, Kalkaska, Luce, Montmorency, Ogemaw and Presque Iale counties. Title to the biggest forest in the state, located in Luce county, will be vested in Michigan when the deed comes. Final details of paying the tax on all state land to the county in which it is located were discussed at the meeting. Payments will be made January 1, and will add $30,000 to the road funds of the counties, chiefly in the northern part of the state .where state lands are held.

The reason is plain—the article did not fulfi] the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that lias real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have l>ecn benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in ••lmost even- case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy t h a t I know of has so large a sale." According to pworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to t h e fact that, BO many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, correct* urinary troubles and neutralizes t h e urio icid which causes rheumatism.

C H A P T E R I. The Chapercrr. "Girls — come down : Quick ! - - 1 (vaiil to see how you look !'' Prudence stood at the foot of the stairs, deftly drawing on her black silk gloves—gloves still yood in Prudence's eyes, though Fairy had long since discarded them as uutH for service. T h e r e was open anxiety in Prudence's expression, and puckers of worry perpendicularly creased her white forehead. "Girls!" she called again. "Girls, are you deaf?" A door opened in the hallway above, and Connie started down the stairs, fully dressed, except that she limped , Along in one stocking foot, her shoe j In her hand. j "It's so silly of you to get all dressed ( before you put on your shoes, Connie," Prudence reproved her as she en me down. "It wrinkles you up so. But you do look nice. Wasn't it dear of the Ladies' Aid to give you that dress for your birthday? Do be careful, dear, and don't get mussed before we come back. Aunt Grace will be so much gladder to live with us if we all look sweet and clean. And you'll be good, won't you, Connie, and—Twins, will yon come?" "They nre sewing up the boles in enob other's stockings," Connie .vouchsafed. "They're all dressed." The twins, evidently realizing t h a t Prudence'* patience was near the breaking point, started downstairs for approval, a curious procession. All dressed as Connie had said, and most charming, b t t they walked close together. Carol stepping gingerly on one foot and Lark stooping low, carrying a needle with great solicitude—the thread reaching from the needle to a small hole on Carol's instep. " W h a t on e a r t h are you doing?" "I'm sewing \\p the holes in Carol's stocking," Lark explained. Prudence frowned disapprovingly. "It's a very bad habit to sew up holes in your stockings when you are wearing them. Mercy. Lark, you have too much powder on !" "I know it—Carol did it. She said she wanted me to be of Intellectual pallor." Lark mopped her face with one hiind. "You look n1ct\ twins." Prudence advanced a step, her eyes on Carol's hair, sniffing suspiciously. "Cflrol. did you curl your h a i r ? " Carol blushed. "Well, .lust a little," she confessed. "I thought Aunt Grace would appreciate me more with a crown of frizzy ringlets." "You'll spoil your hair If you don't leavd It alone, and It will serve you r i g h t too. Oh, Fairy. I know Aunt Grace will love you." she cried ecstatlcially. ' T o n look like a dream, .von—" "Yes—a nightmare." said Carol snlpplly. "If I saw Fairy coming at me on a dark night Td—** " P a p a , we'll miss t h e t r a i n ! " Then as he came slowly down the stairs, she said to her sisters again anxiously: "Oh, girls, do keep nice and clean, won't you? And be very sweet to A u n t G r a c e ! I t ' s so awfully good of her—to come—and t a k e care of u s — " P r u d e n c e ' s voice broke a little. T h e admission of another to the parsonage mothering h u r t her. Mr. Starr stopped on the bottom step, and with one foot as a p i v o t slowly revolved for his daughters' Inspection. " H o w do I look?" he demanded. "Do you think this suit will convince Grace t h a t I am w o r t h taking care of? Do I look twenty-five dollars better t h a n I did y e s t e r d a y ? " T h e girls gazed a t him with most adoring a p p r o v a l " F a t h e r !

Then, all ready, ihey looked ut one another again—even more solemnly. "Well," said Fairy, "let's go In—and wait." Silently the others followed her in, and they all sat about, irreproachably, on the well-dusted chairs, their hands folded in their smooth and spotless laps. The silence and the solemnity were very oppressive. "We look all right," said Carol belligerently. No one answered. When the silence continued, Carol's courage waned. "Oh, girls," she whimpered, "isn't it awful? It's the beginning of the end of everything. Outsiders have to come In now and take care of us, and Prudence'll get married, and then Fnlry will, and maybe us twins—I moan, we twins. And then there'll only be father and Connie left, and Miss Greet, or someone, will get ahead of father after all—and Connie'll have to live with a stepmother, a n d — i t ' l l never seem like home any more.. and—" Connie burst into loud and mournful walls. "You're very silly, Carol," F a i r y said sternly, "Prudence will be at t h e head of things for nearly a year, and—I think we're mighty lucky to get Aunt Grace. It's not many women would be willing to leave a fine, stylish home, with a hundred dollars a month to spend on just herself, and with a maid to wait on her, and come to an ugly old house like this to take care of a preacher and a riotous family like ours. It's very generous of Aunt Grace—very." "Yes, it Is." admitted Lark. "And as long as srtfc was our aunt with her fine home, and her hundred dollars a month, and her trmld. I loved her dearly. Dul—I don't want anybody coming in to manage us. We can manage ourselves. We—" "We need a chaperon." put In Fairy deftly. "It Isn't proper for us to live without one. you know. We're too young. It isn't—conventional." "And for goodness' sake, Connie," said Carol, " r e m e m b e r and call her our chaperon, and don't talk about a housekeeper. There's some style to a chaperon." "Yes, indeed," said Fairy cheerfully. "And she w e a r s such pretty clothes, and has' such pretty m a n n e r s t h a t she will be a distinct acquisition to the parsonage. We can put on lots more style, of course. And then it w a s awfully nice of her to send so much of her good furniture—the piano, for instance, to t a k e the place of t h a t old tin pan of ours. And do you remember, girls, t h a t you mustn't ask her to darn your stockings and wash your handkerchiefs and do your t a s k s about the house. It would be disgraceful. And be careful not to hint for things you w a n t for, of course, Aunt Grace will trot off and buy them for you, and papa will not like I t You twins'll have to be very careful to quit dreaming about silk stockings, for Instance." T h e r e was a tinge of sarcasm in Fairy's voice as she said this, "Fairy, we did dream about silk stockings—you don't need to believe It If you don't w a n t to. B u t we d i d ' dream about them, j u s t t h e s a m e ! " Carol sighed. "I think I could be more reconciled to Aunt Grace if I thought she'd give me a p a i r of silk stockings. You know. Fairy, sometimes lately I almost—don't like Aunt Grace—any more." T h a t ' s very fooUah and vary wicked," declared Fairy. "I love her dearly.

I think she'd be awfully silly not to gobble him right up while she has a chance. F o r my own part, I don't believe In old maids. 1 think it is a religious duty for folks to get married, and—and—you know what I mean—race suicide, you know." She nodded her head sagely, winking one eye in a most intelligent fashion. "And Aunt Grace is so quiet she'll not be any bother at all," added Lark. "She won't scold a bit.—Maybe Carol and I will get a chance to spend some of our spending money when s h e takes charge. P r u d e n c e confiscates it all for punishment. I think it's going to be lots of fun having Aunt Grace with us." "I'm going to take my dime and buy her something," Connie announced suddenly. "I didn't know you had a dime," said Lark. Connie flushed a little. "Yes—oh, yes—" she said, "I've got a dime. I— I hid it. I've got a dime all right." "It's nearly time," said F a i r y restlessly. " N u m b e r nine has been on time for two mornings now—so she'll probably be here In time for dinner. It's only ten o'clock now." "Where'd you get t h a t dime, Connie?" "Oh, I've h a d ' U some time," Connie admitted reluctantly. "But where have you had it?" Inquired Lark. "I thought you acted suspicious some way. so I went around nnd looked for myself." "Where did you look?" The twins laughed gleefully. "Oh. on top of the windows and doors," said Carol. "How did you know—" began Connie, "You nren't slick enough for us, Connie. We knew you had some funny place to hide your money, so I gave you that penny and then I went upstairs very noisily so you could h e a r me. nnd Lark sneaked around and watched, and saw where you put it. We've been able to keep p r e t t y good track of your finances lately." Carol rose and looked at herself in the glass. "I'm going u p s t a i r s , " she said. "What for?" Inquired Lark, rising also. "I need a little more powder. My nose is shiny." So the twins went upstairs, and Fairy, after calling out to them to be very careful and not get disheveled, went out Into the yard and w a n d e r e d dolefully about by herself. Connie m e a n t i m e decided to get her well-hidden dime and figure out w h a t ten cents could buy for her fastidious and wealthy aunt. Connie w a s In many w a y s unique. Her system of money-hiding was born of n o t h i n g less than genius, prompted by necessity, for the twins were clever a s well as grasping. The cook8tove sat in t h e d a r k e s t and most remote corner of t h e kitchen, and where the chimney fitted into the wall it w a s protected by a, small zinc plate. T h i s zinc plate p r o t r u d e d barely an inch, but t h a t inch w a s quite sufficient for coins the size of Connie's, and there, high and s e c u r e in the shadowy corner, lay Connie's dime. She w e n t into t h e kitchen cautiously, careful of h e r w h i t s canvas shoes, and put a chair beside the stove. She had discovered t h a t the d l s h p a n t u r n e d upatde down on t h e chair, gave her sufficient height to reach her novel banking place. But alaa for Connie's calculations— Carol was born for higher things than and she had aplaahed on the table. Tim. pan bad It had boon hung the And It was upon this that Connie climbed to of her darling dime. pan and soot beyond her wildest fancies ! Her cries brought her sisters flying, mid the sight of the blackened j kitchen, und the u n f o r t u n a t e child In , [he midst of disaster, banished from 1 their minds all memory of the coming chaperon, of Prudence's w a r n i n g words -Connie was in trouble. With sisterly affection they rescued her, and did not hear the ringing of the bell. And when Prudence und her father, with Aunt Grace in tow, despaired of gaining entrance at the h a n d s of the ' girls, came in unannounced, it was a sorry scene that greeted them. F a i r y ! and the twins were only less sooty than . Connie und the kitchen. Aad Connie j wept loudly, her tears m a k i n g hideous ! trulls upon her blackened face. "I might have known it," Prudence thought, with sorrow. But her motherly pride vanished before her motherly solicitude, and Connie was soon quieted by her tender ministrations. "We love you, Aunt Grace," cried Carol earnestly, "but we can't kiss you." Mr. S t a r r anxiously scanned the surface of the kitchen table with an eye to future spots on the new suit, and then sat down on the edge of it and laughed as only the young heart and old experience can laugh ! "Disgraced again," he said. "Grace, think well tefore you t a k e the plunge. Do you d a r e cast in your f o r t u n e s with a parsonage bunch t h a t revels in misfortune? Can you t a k e t h e responsibility of rearing a family that knows trouble only? This is your last chance. Weigh well your words." Fairy pursed up her lips, puffing vainly ut I he soot that had settled upon her face. Then s h e laughed. "Very true, Aunt Grace," she said. "We admit that we're a luckless family. P u t we're expecting, with you to help us, to do much bettor. You see, we've never had half a chance so far, with only father behind u s . " The twins revived a t this, and j Joined in the laughter their father led against himself. i Later in the day P r u d e n c e drew her aunt to one sid" and asked softly, ! "Was it much of a shock to you, Aunt I Grace? The family drowned in soot to welcome you? I'm s u r e you expected to find everything trim and fresh and orderly. Was it it bitter diwappolntment ?"

Their aunt assumed no active ! directorate over household matters. ; She just slipped in, happily, unobtru- ' slvely, smiling much, saying little. The members of the Ladies' Aid, who hastened to call, said, "She is perj fectly charming.—.such a flee con versai tionalist !" j She wns always attractively dressed, always self-possessed, always friendly, j always good-natured, a n d the girls found her presence only pleasing.

We don't expect you ' to bury yourself in t h e parsonage. Whenever you want a t r i p away for a while, you must feel free to go." "I shan't want to go," said Aunt Grace quickly.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Nov. 2'). 1917 No. 4ft A LETTER FROM CAMP CUSTER J. Sibley, Former Editor of the Dispatch, Writes of Camp Life Camp Custer, Saturday Night. A. J. Snyder. Dear Friend-Aa I know you are anxious to hear as much as possible about Camp Custer, will tell you something of my experience since I arrived here. We landed at the camp here about 2:30 and were taken to oar .barracks about five o'clock, so you can see that the lunch put up for us by the Red Cross ladies came in real handy and was very much appreciated by the boyp. Our company was originally composed of Saginaw men, but now consists of Saginaw, Lansing, Pontiac, and Howell men. Hall and Carpenter from Pinckney were placed in Battery F, and I have not seen them since we landed Thursday we were taken oat to hospital in a bunch and given the physical examination, and were also vaccinated and given a given a shot in the arm besides. That night and the next day we all had some mighty sore arms where the shot was injected; the vaccination is not expected to take effect for some time. One of the fellowB from Howell. Twitchell, was rejected on account of having his first and second fingers off on the right hand. He expect* to be sent home soon. We were measured up for clothing the night we came here, and expect to have our uniforms soon. On aecount of the bad weather we have done considerable drilling indoors, and have not been on any hikes this week. We also had to drill Saturday afternoon this week which is not usually done, the men having Saturday aft- •emoon and Sunday off. We were given a short lecture today on insurance carried by the soldiers. The Government insures all soldiers for three months from the time they enter the service for $4500 free of change, and if the soldier wishes to carry insurance he most make application for the same before this time runs out. Insurance can be taken out for about $.60 a $1*00 per month. In case of the death of the soldier this insurance will be paid in monthly installments for a certain number of years insted of all in a lump. Oar feed has been good so far, nothing fancy, however; if you want butter, pie, or cake there is a store near our barracks where these and anything that a soldier cares for can be found at a minimum price. Our barracks art warm and comfortable and we have plenty of blakets. I am writing this in one of the "Y's" near our baxracki and the writing table runs the whole length of a long hall, at the end of which is a stage where moving pictures and other entertainments are given every evening. As it is aboat tune for the the show to start, will have to close. Give mp ^ards to all the folks at Pinckn ??. Respectfully, Clyde Sibley. Dellivery of Second Liberty Loan Bonds In answer to numerous inquiries as to when the Liberty Loan Bonds are to be issued, G. W. Teeple has handed us the following from the Federal Reserve Bank at Chicago: In view of the large number of payments entered on our books aa of Nov. 15, 1917, it is impracticable, in this case, to follow our rule of first come, first Berved with respect to the deliveries. We have, therefore, determined to sort the allotment letters alphabetically by cities. Deliveries of bonds, for which full payment was received November If., will be made in the order in dicated. Under this arrangement snipmeat will be made to all of the b.>nk , in any given city, on the same day. In spite of the efforts of the Treasury Department and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington to keep pace with the demands for bonds they have so far been able to fill only a limited proportion of our requisitions. It is, therefore, impossible for us to int ke dicate definite dates for deliveriys in individual cases. We count on your co-operation in explaining the situtation to subscribers who are, m many instances, not accustomed to purchasing^bondsand, perhaps, do not understand why delivery should be delayed. Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Government Bond Department. \ Hunting Trip. G. A. Sigler returned last week from a ten days hunting trip in northern Michigan, with his son Dr. C. M. Sigler and wife and Dr. Cameron and wife. Mr. Sigler reports the deer are very plentiful, but owing to the ex- XSTtoSSS^ snow, the deer keep far in the interior of the swamps. Bear are very plenty ful this season, It is reported st the transfer office at Mackinaw that an average of twenty-five bean a day past that point for the south. The settlers say they have never known them to be so plentiful as they are this season, G. A. bad the pleasure of bagging one of the finest specimens of deer that inhabit that section, it being a large swamp buck weighing around 350 pounds. Mrs. Sigler was with him at the time, the doctor being a short distance from them. Of course, had he been there he could easily have delivered a more fatal shot, and saved trailing the deer about two and onehalf miles after being shot It is a very common occurence to sight a moose track far out in the timber and swamp land, but owing to the law protecting moose, they are not disturbed.

The dining room was furnished with a dining set and here the ladies were maned with orders for sandwiches, coffee and cocoa. The bake-sale was hell in the kitchen where also were to be found kitchen utensils | R 4¾¾ The chamber was furnished with a large brass bed complete with springs and mattress and a dresser and here bedroom accessories^were sold. In the cellar were canned fruit and vegetables As stated before to give an adequate discripition of the beauties ; of this unique display is impossible and those who missed it missed a rare treat. The Isham orchestra was located on the stage and discoursed fine music throughout the evening.

T H E ALCOHOL AQE. "What is the matter with the world r asked Dr. Charles Gilbert Davis, noted surgeon of Chicago, in a thought-arresting article la the Illinois Issue. His answer la, "A thousand years of alcoholic saturation." "All life should evolute," he says; "alcohol produces evolution. Take the largest and finest breed of dogs—the Great Dane, for example—and for three or four generations feed them dally a little alcohol and what la the result? What was previously a large, noble animal will deteriorate Into a snapping, snarling, fighting, almost hairless, Insignificant little cur. And yet we feed men on this lethal poison for thousands of years and then wonder why we have disease, pestilence, Insanity and war. "In this dawn of the twentieth century it may be truthfully affirmed that the aggressive war brain Is the brain that directly, or indirectly through heredity, has been poisoned by alcohol. The alcoholic brain cannot evolve those emotions of the human soul that make for peace. We may talk peace, legislate for peace, and make peace treaties, but wars will never cease till the brain is freed from the corroding effects of alcohol. "One thousand years from now the historian will record the events of today and classify them under the general heading, 'The Age of Alcohol.' It will be pathetic but Interesting literature." BREAD OR BEER. Sir Alfred Booth, chairman of the Cunard steamship line, was, when the war began, neither a prohibitionist nor a total abstainer. Early In 1916 he startled Great Britain by declaring that "the transport problem demands prohibition until the war is over." k'I am not thinking of the temperance side of the question," he said, "we have got beyond that now. I am thinking of the demand which the trade makes upon the services of our ships, our railways and carts, and our labor." He denounced the use by the breweries and distilleries of thousands of tons of coal mined and sent to them every Week, the barley and other produce carted and hauled by rail to the brewery, brought back again and distributed to the consumer. "If w« arc* to •maintain our armies In the field, we shall before very long have to choose between bread or beer." MOTHERING THE SOLDIERS. The W. C. T. U. has opened many recreation rooms for the soldiers. The homesick men who flock to them do not fall to express their gratitude for the cheery welcome and the homey atmosphere they find in these places. To the matron at the rooms in Washington, D. C, a poem was presented by young Robert B. Lee, grandson of the great Southern general, as an expression of his feelings. The last stanza runs thus: When sldetby side we take our chance, To live or die in bloody France. For right and you; Then never fear, you here at home That we'll forget, where'er we roam The W. C. T. U. T H E WORKINGMAN'S BURDEN. Every workingman carries on his back a nonproducer. The laborer who pays his bills la charged a higher price to cover the loss the storekeeper sustains by failure of the drinking man to pay what he owes. When crime is committed or a family Impoverished by the drink-debauchery of its natural sppport, the cost appears on the tax bill of the man who labors. Jobs are made by the consumption of products, and If money is not spent for boose, It will be spent for other things which must be produced by labor—From the Cyclopedia of Ten> perance. ALCOHOL INCREASES FATIGUE, Fatigue Is due to the action upon nerve endings and nerve cells of poisonous products formed within the body as the result of muscular metabolism.

PENNSY MIKES TO FILL NEEDS According to Dr. Garfield, Michigan's Desperate Plight Will Be Relieved Shortly. Lansing.—Michigan's coal faminewill be ended within a few days. The promise waa made by Dr. Garfield in person to John C. Hicks, president of the St. Johns National bank, of St. Johns, Mich., and a special assistant to W. K. Prudden,. of Lansing, federal fuel administrator for Michigan. Admistrator Garfield's promise, which relates entirely to anthracite, or hard coal, means, according to Mr. Hicks, that a supply of coal entirely adequate to meet all of the state's needs will be sent here direct frcm the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania, which furnishes practically all of the anthracite coal used in the country. No Strings on Pledge. According to Mr Hicks, Fuel Administrator Garfield in his promise made no stipulation or condition of any sort, save as to the method coal dealers are to employ in bringing about distribution of the coal, and this is simple. Under details worked out by Mr. Hicks and the national fuel administration's anthracite division, Michigan's coal dealers, to obtain what coal they need, must apply to State Fuel Administrator Prudden, at Lansing, giving first the amount of coal needed, and then the name of their sourca of supply in 1916. With this information in hand, Mr. Prudden, acting under authority from National Fuel Administrator Garfield, will see to it that the dealer is supplied through the same source from which he obtained his supply last year Railroads Will Co-operate. When asked if the railroad companies and other distributors and sources of supply would comply with the national fuel administrator's directions, Mr Hicks said : "Yes, that phase of the matter is covered fully under Dr. Garfield's authority. Coal companies must obey his instructions. If they do not, Dr. Garfield is empowered to find a way to make them." Mr. Hicks said that, following his conference with Dr. Garfield, he talked with many of the larger coal operators in the east, and found them, without exception, entirely willing to co-operate with the government. RAILROADS MERGE FACILITIES Equipment of All Lines Pooled to Get Maximum Efficiency. Washington—Face to face with a threat of complete government operation and the cutting of their profits to a minimum, the railroads of the country have taken drastic steps to avert these contingencies. At the conference here the roads representatives were told that their services must be improved or the job turned over to the government. The following plan is to be put into effect at once: Engines, rolling stock, machine tools and employes from railroads west of Chicago are to be transferred to the service of railways east of Chicago. The shops of the western roads are to be used for repair work on eastern road equipment. Train service west of Chicago is to be cat to the bone. The government is to take full control of all the railway systems with the management of the roads executing the governmental orders.

The wide wandering of a parcel was described by a soldier now stationed at Egypt.

It had gone to the Hants' in France, thence to four hospltalR, which sent it to Blighty and to two hospitals there which forwarded it on to the officer in charge of records, Warwick. He in turn sent it to the officer In charge records, Exeter, then Ryde, and lastly to Egypt. Jolly lucky to get it after ten months, don't you think so? It contained a good soft shirt, a pair of socks, three khaki handkerchiefs, boracic powder. The address of the sender was obliterated and the postmark a smudge."

Better demolish the window garden than to mock nature with the victims of Ignorance or neglect. A pretty combination In the way of plants for table decoration Is to plant a dracaena In the center and surround It with small ferns, a peperonla, a saxifrage, and a locopodlum. They are agreeable to one another and thrive with the same treatment. Any time during the winter when the canes are not frozen prune and tie up grape and ornamental climbers. This work should not be delayed until growth starts, as it will then injure the vines. If you find bunches of dead leaves hanging In the trees, remove them. They contain destructive young larvae. Spray if you see evidence of the scale. If leaves strew the lawn, do not destroy them. They protect the grass. Plan to have plenty of flowers next summer, but If you are restricted in your desire, determine to begin a hardy, herbaceous border. This should consist of hardy, early and late blooming bulbs and perennials. As such a border is Intended to be undisturbed for years, perhaps, It should be deeply spaded and well manured. If you suspect that your trees—fruit, nut and ornamental—are troubled with aphis or bark-louse, wash the trunk and lower branches with soapsuds or lye water. Whitewash is also effective in keeping the trees healthy, but most of us object to whitening the tree trunks. Order trees, seeds, pleat* and nursery stock early and secure the varieties you want, the best stock and exactly what you ask for. Remember that nothing "Just happens.** Everything has its money or labor equivalent, and no beautiful home grounds can be expected from haphazard methods of embellishing the home. When ordering do not forget to procore nasturtium, poppy, ortulacca, or salvia seeds for the beds exposed to the sun's scorch all day. Among the plants that seldom mature their flowers, the cosmos stands forth. Therefore seeds of this beautiful plant should be planted during Februsry< While planning your garden, give due sttentioo to the color of the flowmtk so that they m a y harmonise. Have supply of white and neutral to separate the clashing colcourage disease and malignant insects. If white worms appear In the soil of your potted plants, dissolve a piece of fresh lime In water and set the pot In water, letting it remain there until the soil and ball of roots are thoroughly saturated. An ever-blooming plant Is the Irapatlens sultanl. It forms a compact bush If given the ordinary care In a sunny window. Fill a soup plate or other shallow dish with sharp, clean sand and use as a cutting nursery. While fallen leaves make a good compost heap, they do not improve the soil until they are decayed. Do not dig them Into the soil this fall. Now Is the time to pot bulbs of the "black" calla. Plant one bulb in a seven Inch pot, using good rich soil. It requires water regularly. Two perennials which are most beautiful s a d satisfactory are the Burbask daisy s o d t h e lovely cherry-red, hardy carnation pink. Ton make no mistake in ordering them.

It Is absolutely lndispensible that bees shall be used if one Is to grow cucumbers under glass. Without the bees it w.puld be necessary for the plants to be polllnlzed by hand. The difficulty and expense of this proceeding is self-evident. It is considered advisable to have a colony of bees for every 160 feet of house. Some of the growers keep fifty hives to attend to the work of propagating the cucumber species. One of the peculiar things about the use of bees Is that most of the growers seem to be content with the Idea of buying new colonies every season. There is really no good reason why the colonies should not be carried over from season to season, using a little manipulation to Insure the process, but the major portion of the producers appear to accept the annual purchase of bees as one of the Inevitable expenses. If the hives are so placed that they will be at the ends of the houses, with a chance to enter the house from one end and the open from the other they will thrive much better. The bees get little or no honey from the encumbers during the winter and they must therefore be fed on syrup. This brings about heavy laying for the queen which is not good for the bees. As soon as the weather is warm enough. If they are permitted to fly in the open they will recuperate to a large extent. If new queens are provided each season It would be possible to keep the colonies indefinitely. The prices paid for fresh colonies run from five to ten dollars. A grower who Is not afraid of his bees and who learns how to handle them can save much of this expense. The general manager and the junior partner were talking about young Mo- Kim. "He's efficient and willing and uble—to a certain degree, and after that he begins to knock, like an engine with too much carbon In the cylinders. You couldn't say he shirks. He's ambitious, but his ambition Is so egotistic that it stands in its own way. There's so much good in him that I don't want to lose him, and yet the little that Is bad Is so poisonous it nearly nultlfles the good." "He's like thousands of untarlned American boys," agreed the partner. "College doesn't discipline 'em. Nothing touches 'em but something that licks 'em Into shape. Is McKira one of the lot that wants a month off at Plattsburg?" Yes, McKim was. And he went. And McKIm had some very striking experiences at Plattsburg. His whole personality was taken to pieces and reorganized— along vastly more efficient lines. The general manager and the Junior partner were holding another powwow. "Now there's McKIm," said the Junior partner. "What about htm?" "He's a new man," said the general mnnnger. "He's braced up. He's disciplined.** Innocent. Her name was 'Sister Billy and she had two big sisters whose habit was to have beaux on Sunday -afternoons. Some of the beaux seemed to seek the approval of Sister Billy and would converse with her affably during their visits. No one's feelings were hurt. Billy was only four. One day her sisters watched her strolling in the garden with a young man. They seemed absorbed In each other, but Billy was doing all the talking. They watched the pair for several minutes, and In all that time the young man did not speak, nor did he for one second change his attitude of eager attention. Both sisters were dying with curiosity. They wondered nervously what secret the little lamb could be disclosing. As soon as the door had" closed on Mr. Brown Sister Billy was fixed with four stern eyes. "What were you saying to Mr. Brown?" they asked. Sister Billy's eyes dropped and she faltered : "I was saying the Lord's Prayer to him." Costs Less and Kills That Cold CASCARAE?

"Fate plays queer tricks on a man," remarked Mr. Twobble. "No doubt." "I always thought I would propose to the woman I would marry where there was the sheen of silver and cut glass, and shaded lights were softly glowing and behind a screen of palms an orchestra was playing a Hungarian waltz." "Year* "As a matter of fact, I proposed to Mrs. Twobble In a Jitney bus." It is stated that Germany and Austria use more aluminum for war purposes than all the other belligerents combined. It is known, in tact, that Germany has for some years been collecting and storing the metal for war uses, and the majority of the drinking mugs, cans and cups of the German soldiers are made of the light metal. The frames for zeppelins and the fuses for shells are also made from aluminum. One of the difficulties the Germans have had to face Is the shortage of copper necessary for the rings round shells. Many of the German shells are now provided with aluminum rings. Although aluminum has come to be regarded as a substitute, even in cartridges as well as shells and fuses, it does not answer Itw purpose nearly as well as copper.

RAPID PROGRESS MADE BY ROOKIES F I R 8 T CONTINGENTS AT CUSTER K E L P NEW MEN TO GRASP INSTRUCTIONS. BIG FOOD DEALERS FACE BAN Although Order* to Get License* Were Issued to All, Many Have Failed to Apply. Lansing. The 12,000 men Just added to Camp Custer, division officers say are making greater progress n learning BOIdiery than those who proceeded them. Not that they possess greater intelligence or greater learning powers and adaptability, but where the camp of the first days had only a comparatively few instructors, the officers and regular army non-coms, now it has thousands potentially in the men who have been training here for the past j two months. Under the program each men in the first two contingents aids in teaching the "rookies." In addition orders have gone forth that the program of the past eight weeks will be renewed for the benefit not only of the rookies, but for the older men themselves, and especially those who have shown that they had not grasped it thoroughly. Division officers believe the camp's program will not be retarded by the new men more than a month or six weeks. Big Dealers Must Get Licenses. George A. Prescott, State food adminstrator, has received word from National Food Administrator Hoover that many Michigan elevators, canners, Jobbers, commission men, brok ers, wholesalers und retailers, doing a business of $100,000 a year, have not applied to the government food administration for licenses as they should have done by November 1 and that proceedings will be started imme. dtately to suspend trading operations of such firms unless applications are received at once. Lists of licenses will be forwarded the Michigan administrator soon. Complaints of violations of the abovenamed tradesmen should be reported to Michigan's food administrator and not to Washington. Of the 2,900 restaurants and hotel* in Michigan, Mr. Prescott says that 1,900 of them have signed pledges already to observe meatless and wheatless days and further co-operate with the food administration. Monthly reports will be made by restaurants and hotels to the food administrator on blanks, which will show the amount of meats and wheat saved each month. Mr. Prescott says there are no "knockers' 'among the hotel or restaurannt men and that co-operation exists along every line. Small boarding houses are asking the food administrator for a menu that they can serve on meatless and wheat, less days, as their patrons, many times workingmen from factories, demand meat and bread. This situation has been taken care of, however, by sending oat menus showing how to make various dishes from fish and substituting "Johnny cake" or fried mush for bread. Many Markeme* at Waco. Because a large percentage of the Michigan and Wisconsin soldiers have been accustomed, since their boyhood to hosting during the open season in their states, the division at Camp Mac- Arthur, Waco, Is going to produce a high standard of marksmanship, according to officers who acted as instructors at the rifle range. "A recruit who has done any g" fining generally knows the mechanism of a gun,** said one of the range officers. "He Is accustomed to recoil and can handle a rifle with safety to himself and others about him. He needs little instruction about aiming, is a good Judge of range, and in a dozen minor ways finds his training as a hunter of value to him in the army." State aUan Growers Are Hopeful. The bean situation in Michigan is enooturaglng, said James N. McBride, stale director of markets, on his return from Washington, where he went to intercede with the federal food adte give Michigan bean Hr.JfeBrtde came back with the inthat due consideration of of growing beans would be Ike fatsrre. The prices which Axed for beans for the 14 beans end Mr. McBride * fts faanerattse that a rrowers be f t days et Compensatioi and Insurance. Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, commander of Caiup Custer, ha« requested the n&wqjiapera to assist in imparting information as to the soldiers' allotment, dependents, compensation and insurance measures adopted by the war department. He declares the allotment, compensation and insurance system "the most philanthropic measure ever adopted by any country in the world to care for its soldiers and tberr dependents." Compensation Compulsory. The compensation system operates for the benefit of both the soldier and his dependents, particularly the latter. It is compulsory. Every enlisted man with a wife is compelled to allot at least half his pay to her, whether she is dependent or not. To this amount, which is never lower than |15, the government will add $16 for the wife, $25 for a wife and child, and $32.68 for a wife and two children. An allowance of $5 each will 1)¾ made for other children. In the event the soldier is ...a widower the government adds $5 to his $15 for one child, $12.50 for two children, $20 for three children, $30 for four children, and $5 additional for each additional child. If the soldier is single the government adds to his $15, $10 for one parent, $20 for both parents. Similar arrangements have been made when the allotment goes to a sister or-brother with a child or children or to grandchildren. In the event of a soldier's death the government will-give his childless widow $25 per month; widow with one child, $35; widow with two children, $47.50, and $5 additional for each additional child. If he leaves no widow the government will pay his one child $20 per month, two children $30, three children $40 and $5 additional for each additional child. The mother of a dead soldier receives $20 per month. The compensation to a widow or mother continues until their death or re-marriage, that to a child until it is of age. If a soldier 1B totally disabled he will be compensated monthly as follows: $30 if without a wife and children; $45, if with wife; $55 if with wife and one child; $65 if with wife and two children; $75 if with wife and three or more children; if with no wife and but one child, $40, and $10 for each additional child. If he has a widowed mother dependent on him the government will add $10 to the above sums. For loss of both eyes, both legs or both arms a soldier will receive a flat sum of $100 per month. Insurance Is Voluntary. The Insurance is voluntary and can be taken by any soldier or sailor in sums not less than $1,000 nor greater than $10,000. The premium rate is 60 cents per month per $1,000 for men at 21 up to $1.20 per month per $1,000 for men at 51. The insurance is payable to beneficiaries in 240 monthly installments, covering a period of 20 years. One point army officers wish emphasized is that the insurance payments will be made in addition to the compensation allowed by the government as enumerated above. In such event the widow of a soldier who had subscribed for $10,000 insurance would receive monthly for 20 years $41.67 in insurance payments and $25 in compensation for herself, and from $10 to $5 additional for each child. WHERE GREATEST VICTORY WAS WON Hundreds Discharged From Waco. That drastic measures must be taken by the government to conserve the youth of the nation was the opinion expressed by officers of high rank at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, after it had been learned that between 500 and 600 enlisted guardsmen and as many more selected soldiers will have to be discharged from the service because of physical disability. Guardsmen are eblng discharged at the rate of about 10 a day. A number of these are Michigan men. Because of the tremendous task ahead of the medical board that examines each man up for a discharge, it is doubtful whether the selective soldiers receive consideration for several weeks, although It is known that more than BOO of the 3,000 that came down here from Camp Custer will be sent to the hospital as unfit for military service. That this many eventually will be discharged is almost certain. In almost every case considered so far. the soldier discharged was afflicted long before be enlisted. Among; the most common grounds given for certificates of disabffity are "mentally deficient" net foot, goitre, defective eyes, rheumatism, joint trouble and the results of injuries received early in life.

FRANCIS CONFIRMS DISPATCHES Ambassador Cables Washington That Armistice Hat Been Proposed by New Government. Washington,—Officials of this gov ernment regard the Bolsheviki move for an armistice between Russia and her enemies and the opening of immediate peace negotiations as an act that would place Russia almost in the list of unfriendly nations. Press dispatches telling of the peace movement have been confirmed by a cablegram from Ambassador Francis. It said that Leon Trotiky, nation J! commissioner for foreign affairs in the Bolsheviki government, had sent for mal notification to diplomats at Petrograd that his government had pro posesd an armistice with a view to im mediate peace negotiations Presents Grave Problem. It was pointed out that should these negotiations be successful, it would be most difficult to deal with Russia as a neutral country, in view of the position she has held as an ally of the nations fighting Germany and th? marked advantage in the war that such a course might give the lat.e: country. Ambassador Francis has been given no instructions to deal with the Bol sheviki government. In reporting to the state department on the p<a~e move, he made it clear that he hnl been advised that the Soviet congr. s ^ had adopted a resolution i n s t r u c t s generals at the front to enter into negotiations at once with the German commanders relative to a thr c months' armistice, with instructions to report to the congress. Ambassador Francis's dis^ptrV da' ed November 21, dispels any ho.^e of a strengthening of Russia's re's. ; uunless the Bolsheviki govern r r should be quickly overthrown rv a counter revolution. London—Hard fighting continues in the battle of Cambral with the British pushing determinedly northward on the Fontaine-Queant line, west of Cambral. The Germans are resisting desperately the British advance, which Is being pressed most energetically on this east-to-west front. General Byng's evident intention is to drive in behind the main Hindenburg line, breached in last week's surprise attack and the Queant-Drocourt switch line, while still pushing his encircling movement of Cambral to the north and east. Italians Hold Firm. Rome—The Italians have now completed a successful two weeks' defense of their Piave line and the northern front protecting its flank. Although they have had to yield ground during this time on the front between the upper Piave and the Asiago plateau, their defensive line remains unbroken. CUT USE OF ELECTRIC SI6NS No Advertising Sign in State Must Burn After 11 P. M. Lansing—State Fuel Administrator W. K. Pruden has notified the managers of the power companies and municipal lighting plants that from now en the use of electricity for any signs used entirely for advertising purposes is prohibited except under the following conditions: Electric signs over business places from one-half hour after sunset until the closing time of said business, but in no case later than 11 p. m.; theatres or places of amusement, there the signs must be darkened one-half hour after the performance begins, and the size of the sign may be regulated by the fuel administrator; porch lights on houses or hotels, railroad yards, location of fire escapes, or lights for similar purposes, when authorised by the fuel administrator.

BR0T TO STATION BY ITALIAN In Addition to Those Killed, Five Ars Injured By Blast—Lower Floor of Building Wrecked. Milwaukee—Eleven persons were killed and 5 injured Saturday night when a bomb, designed to destroy the Madonia del Pompeii church, in the h e a d of third ward, an Italian settlement, exploded in central police station, where it had been carred for examination. Seven detectives, three policemen and one woman were killed. Three detectives, the station keeper and the desk lieutenant were injured. The bomb, evidently with a time fuse attached, was found in the basement of the church by an Italian, who took it to the police station. While the Italian was being taken into the office of Lieutenant Flood for questioning. Desk Sergeant Henry Deckart took the bomb into the patrolmen's room. Meanwhile detectives were answering roll call on the second floor and just before dismissal they were informed that the bomb had been found. On going down stairs they grouped about the missile. It was then that the bomb exploded, killing seven of the number instantly. The lower floor of the building was shattered and every window throughout the structure was broken by the shock. The bomb was intended for the Rev. August Giuliani, who several month* ago caused the arrest of anarchist leaders. Since then the Rev. Giuliani has been threatened several times and was in seclusion at Madison. U. S. DESTROYER SINKS U-BOAT Officers and Crew Prisoners—Craft Disabled, Sunk by Treachery. Washington.—The United States navy has strafed a submarine for all the world to see. This time there is no shadow of a doubt. Forty-five Germans, officers and crew, are prisoners aboard a destroyer or landed at an allied port under guard. The news came first in an official bulletin from the secretary of the navy, Mr. Daniels. It told how a de. stroyer sighted a periscope and charged on the flash. An American depth bomb Btruck the sea viper. Vitally stricken she came to the surface. While the crew was being rescued, one of them slipped back into the hold and opened the submerging valves, sending the craft to the bottom, thus depriving the Americrns of their prize after a line had been fastened to tow her into port. Another dispatch on the sinking of the U-boot says that all of the crew went down and were lost, but the first one seems to be authentic. MEAT PACKERS PROFITS CUT Government Regulation of Industry Alms to Reduce Retail Price. Chicago.—Regulation of the packing industry, so that the price of meat to the retailer and consumer may be both stable and cheaper, was announced Saturday by Joseph P Cotton, chief of the meat division of the United States food administration. The annual earnings of t h e five big packing houses cannot exceed 9 per cent on the average capital used in the business. This applies to the sals of meats. On the side lines developed by the packers, such as the making of soaps, leather, glue and fertilisers, they are to be allowed a profit not to exceed 16 per cent on their investment SUBWAY PR0P0SE0 FOR DETROIT Project, Costing $75,000,000, Ri mended by Traffic Experts.

PRUDENCE SAYS SO By ETHEL HUESTON The Story of a Houseful of Lovcable Girls Ccpriiftat BobU-Morill Co. j THE TWINS READ MRS. EDDY'S "SCIENCE AND HEALTH' AND THEIR BEHAVIOR IN CONSEQUENCE UPSETS THE TH€ QUIET OF THE METHODIST HOUSEHOLD. 8ynop*ls.—The story opens In the home of the Rev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting- the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— Prudence watched them with painful solicitude. Her years of mothering had given her an almost supernatural intuition as to causes and effects. On Wednesday morning Mr. Starr bade his family goodby and set out on a tour of Epworth league conventions. He was to be away from home until the end of the following week. A prospective Presbyterian theologian had been selected from the college to fill his pulpit on the Sabbath. At ten o'clock the train carried their father off in the direction of Burlington, and at eleven o'clock the -twins returned to the pursonage. Prudence, Fairy and Aunt Grace sat Be wing on the side porch as they cut across the parsonage lawn, their feet crinkling pleasantly through the drift of autumn leaves the wind had piled beneath the trees. "We're out of potatoes, twins," said Prudence, as they drew near. "You'll have to dig some before dinner." For one instant their complacent features clouded. Prudence looked up expectantly, sure of a break In their serene placidity. One doubtful second, then— "Certainly, Prudence," said Carol brightly. And Lark added genially, "We'd better fill the box, I guess—so we'll have enough for the rest of the week." And singing a light but unharmonic snatch of song, the twins went in search of basket and hoe. Prudence's brows knitted in anxious frowns and she sighed a few times, "What is the matter, Prue? You look like a rainy Christmas," said Fairy. "It's the twins," was the mournful answer. "The twins!" ejaculated Fairy. "Why, they've acted like angels lately." "That's It!—That's just i t When the twins act like angels I get uneasy right away. The better they act, the more suspicious I feel." "What have they been doing?" "Nothing! Not a thing! That's why I'm worried. It must be something terrible!" Fairy laughed and returned to her embroidery. Aunt Grace smiled and began plying her needles once more. But Prudence still looked troubled, and sighed often. There was no apparent ground for her alarm. The twins came back with the potatoes, peeled some for luncheon, and set the table, their faces still bright and smiling. In the afternoon they joined the little circle on the porch, but not to sew. They took a book, and lay down on a rag with the book before them, reading together. Evidently they .were all absorbed. Prudence, in spite of her devotion to the embroidering of large S's on asserted pieces of linen, never forgot the twine for a moment "What are yon reading?*' she asked at mat aimlessly, her only desire to be nmieuroil by the sound of their an almost Imperceptible panes. Then Carol answered—her ^Mn was In her palms, which may have accounted for the mumbling of the - * • * • • "Sclanceanealtfe.* "Whatf* Another pease, a little more percepthis time. "Science and Health." said at last qvlte distinctly. «8cSencs and Health," Prudence resetted, in * pooled tone. '"Is it a bookr "Why luttilMm of the sort—yea,- teid Carol dubkrasly. M ffctones and Health T flcience and Fairy. "Yon don't that Christian Science book, do yon? Yon know what I mean, Predence— Mary Baker M a y s book—•Science and Health'—thaff the name of It. That's not what yon twtne art de- M i t t r twins' cheeks. Aunt Grace's eyes twinkled a little, although her face was grave. Fairy looked surprised. Prudence looked dumfounded, "What are you reading that for?" "Why—it's very interesting," explained Lark, coming to Carol's rescue. "Of course we don't believe it—yet. But there are some good things in it— it's very deep. But some of the Ideas are very fine, and—er— uplifting, you know." Prudence looked most miserable. "But—twins, do you think—minister's daughters ought to read—things like that?" "Why, Prudence, I think minister's daughters ought to be well Informed on every subject," declared Lark conscientiously. "How can we be an influence if we don't know anything about things?" Prudence looked at Fnlry and her aunt in helpless dismay. This was something entirely new in her experience of rearing a family. "I—I don't think you ought to read I t " she said slowly. "Bat at the same time—what do you think about i t Aunt Grace?" "Why—I don't know, Prudence. You know more about rearing twins than I do." Prudence at that moment felt that she knew very little about it, indeed. She turned to Fairy. There was a strange lntentness in Fairy's fine eyes as she studied the twins on the floor at her feet. "You aren't thinking of turning Christian Scientists, yourselves, are you?" asked Prudence rather humbly. "Oh, of course, we aren't Scientists, Prudence," was the quick denial. "We don't know anything about It yet, really. But there are lots of very helpful things in It, and—people talk about it so much, and—they have made such wonderful cures, you know, and—we'jj thought we'd Just study up a little." "You take the book yourself and read It, Prue," urged Carol hospitably. •You'll see what we mean." Prudence drew back quickly as though the book would sear her fingers. She looked very forlorn. If only her father were at home—ten days between herself and the lifting of responsibility I "When father comes home—" she began. And then suddenly Fairy spoke. "1 think the twins are right" she said emphatically. "It would be very narrow-minded of us to refuse to look into a subject as important as this. Let them go on and study it; we can decide things later." Prudence looked very doubtful, but a warning movement of Fairy's left eyelash—the side removed from the twins—comforted her. "Well—" she aald. "Of course. Prudence, we know it would nearly break father's heart for us to go back on our own church—but doa*t you think If folks become tmly convinced that Christian Science is the true and good religion, they ought to stand by It and suffer—Just like the martyrs of old?** suggested Lark—and the suggestion brought the doubt* cloods thick about Prudence's bead once more. "We may not be convinced, of conrse, added Carol, "but there Is sotnethlns; rather—assuring—abort It" "Oh. twins," Prudence cried earnestly, but stopped as ahe caught again the slight suggestive movement of Fairy's left eyelash. , "Well, let It go for this afternoon," she said, her eyes Intent on Fairy*! face. "I must think it over.** The twine, with apparent relish, returned to their pervstt of the book. Fairy rose almost taunedlatety and went Into the bones, coming back a moment later with her hat and glows*. -Tm going for a ttrolL prsje,- ahe aakL T i l be back ia mm* far sapper.** It waa two boars later when Fnlry law ;: dent that the twins. In their upstairs room, could hear every word she said. "Come upstairs, Prue. I want to talk this over with you alone." And then she whispered, "Now, you Just take your cue from me, and do as I say. The little sinners! We'll teach them to be so funny I" In their own room she carefully closed the door and smiled, as she noted the creaking of the closet door on the twins' side of the wall. Eavesdropping was not Included among the cardinal sins In the twins* private decalogue, when the conversation concerned themselves, "Now, Prudence," Fairy began, speaking with an appearance of softness, though she took great pains to turn ber face toward the twins' room, and enunciated very clearly indeed. "I know this will hurt you, as it does me, but we've got to face it fairly. If the twins are convinced that Christian Science is the right kind of religion, we#an't stand in their way. I've been reading up a little myself this afternoon, and there are some good points In Christian Science. Of course, for our sakes and father's, the twins will be generous and deny they are Scientists. But at heart, they are. I saw it this afternoon. And you and I, Prudence, must stand together and back them up. They'll have to leave the church. I think we'll have them go before the deacons next Sunday while father Is gone—then he will be spared the pain of i t We must make it as easy for them as we can. They'll probably dismiss them—I don't suppose they'll give them letters. But it must be all over before papa cornea back." Then she hissed in Prudence's ear, "Now cry." Prudence obediently began sniffling and gulping, and Fairy rushed to her and threw her arms about her, sobbing In heartbroken accents, "There, there, Prue, I know—I felt "Just the same about It. But we can't stand between the twins and what they think Is right. We daren't have that on our consciences." The two wept together, encouraged by the deathlike stillness in the closet on the other side of the wall. Then Fairy said, more calmly, though still sobbing occasionally, "For our sakes, they'll try to deny it. But we can't let the little darlings sacrifice themselves. They've got to have a chance to try their new belief. We'll Just be firm and Insist that they stand on their rights. We won't mention It to them for a day or two—we'll fix It up with the elders first. And we must surely get it over by Sunday. Poor old father—and how he loves— Oh. Prudence, dear, don't cry so." Prudence caught her cue again and began weeping afresh. They soothed and caressed and comforted each other for a while, and then went downstairs to finish getting supper. In the meantime the shocked and horrified twins in the closet of their own room, were clutching each other with passionate intensity. When their sisters had gone downstairs they stared at each other in agony. . "They—they wo-won't p-p-pat us out of the ch-ch-church," gasped Carol. "They will," stammered Lark. "You know what Prudence is! She'd put the whole church out If she thought It would do us any good. Oh, Carol, I told you it was wicked to Joke about religion." This unexpected reproach on the part of her twin brought Carol back to earth. **I didnt read a word of i t did you?—I—I Just thought It would be roch a good Joke on Prudence—with father out of town." The good Joke was anything but funny now. T h e y can't make us be 8d en tints if we don't want to," protested Lark. **They can't Why. I wouldn't be anything bat a Methodist for anything on earth. I'd die first Well Just go and teU Prudence it was a Joke—Prudence la always reasonable. She won't—" "Shall punish us, and—it'll be such a Joke on us, Larkle. Even Connlell laugh." They squirmed together, wretchedly, at that "It—It was a good joke while it lasteft.*' said Carat with a very faint shadow of a smile. "Don't yon remember how Prudence gasped? She kept her month open for five minutes r -It's still a Joke." added Lark gloomily, twit It's on na." cant put us out of the r -I dent know. Like as not they'll we'd he a bad Inflsencs among the clutched each other, startled, crying o u t Then, sheepishly, they stepped out of the closet to find Fairy regarding them quizzically from the doorway. She repressed a smile with difficulty, aa ahe said quietly. "I was just talking to Mrs. Mains over the phone. She's going to a Christian Science lecture tonight, and she said she wished I wasn't a minister's daughter and she'd ask me to go along. I told her I didn't care to, but said you twins would enjoy it. Shell be here in the car for you at seven fortyfive." "I won't go," cried Carol. "I won't go near their old church. You can't make me." Lark shook her head in corroborative denial. "Well, that's queer." Fairy frowned, then she smiled. Suddenly, to the tempest-tossed and troubled twins, the tall, splendid Fairy seemed a haven of refuge. And with a cry of relief and shame and fear, the twins plunged upon her and told her their little tale. "You punish us this time, Fairy," begged Carol. "We—we don't want the rest of the family to know. We'll take any kind of punishment but keep It dark, won't you?" "I'll talk It over with Prudence," said Fairy. "But—I think we'll have to tell the family." Lark moved her feet restlessly. "Well, you needn't tell Connie," she said. "Having the laugh come back on us is the very meanest kind of a punishment." Fairy looked at them a moment, wondering if, indeed, their punishment had been sufficient. "Well, little twins," she said, "I guess I will take charge of this myself. Here Is your punishment." She stood up again, and looked down at them with sparkling eyes as they gazed at her expectantly. "We caught on that it was a Joke. We knew you were listening In the closet. And Prudence and I acted oar little parts to give you one good scare. Who's the laugh on now? Are we square? Supper's ready." And Fairy ran downstairs, laughing, followed by two entirely abashed and humbled twins. W. N. U., DETROIT, NO. 4&-1917. G re a teat Sugar Exporter.

How Carol Spoiled the Wedding. A day in June—the kind of day that poets have rhymed and lovers have craved since time began. On the side porch of the parsonage, In a wide hammock, lay Aunt Grace, looking languidly through half-close< lids at the girls beneath her on the step. Prudence, although her face was all a-dream, bent conscientiously over the bit of linen in her hands. And Fairy, her piquantly bright features clouded with an unwonted frown, crumpled a letter In her hand. "I do think men are the most aggravating things that ever Jived," she declared, with annoyance in her voice. The woman In the hammock smiled slightly, and did not speak. Prudence carefully counted ten threads, and solemnly drew one before she voiced her question. "What Is he saying now?" "Why, he's still objecting to my having dates with the other boys." Fairy's voice was vibrant with grief. "He does make me wild! Aunt Grace, you can't Imagine. Last fall I mentioned casually that I was sure he wouldn't object to my having lecture course dates—I was too hard up to buy a ticket for myself; they cost four dollars, and aren't worth i t either. Ard what did he do but send me eight dollars to buy two sets of tickets! Then this spring, when the baseball season opened, he sent me season tickets <o all the games, suggesting that my financial stringency could not be pleaded as excuse. Ever since he went to Chicago last fall we've been fighting because the boys bring rae home from parties. He wants me to patter along by myself like a—like—like a hen!" Fairy said "hen" very crossly 1 "It's a shame," said Prudence sympathetically. "That's Just what It ia. You wouldn't say a word to his raking girls home from things, would you?" Outmatched. "Do you think the widow Is setting her cap for him?" "No; she tells me he Is clever but Impossible." "Mercy ! If the widow finds him impossible, he must be clever."

C , Nov. 15— (Special),— Production of pleasure cars is likely to be stopped for the period of the war by the automomV manufacturers of America. According to the plans, their plants will be devoted instead to the production and storage of ammunition, aeroplanes, guns, helmets and other war material, with^the manufacture of enough cars to meet absolute demands of business. Storage of steel, war board officials declare, and the pressure of war demands on industry will account for the discontinuance of manufacturing purely pleasure vehicles. Discontinuance in Short Time No date has been s*»t for discontinuing the pleasure car industry, but representative* of the automobile industry and the Council ofNational Defense have recognized it as necessary, and steps already have been taken to limit production gradually. Walter S. Gifford, chairman of the council, said discontinuance of pleasure production would surely come within a short tarn*.

Father Kelley who^was then stationed at Dexter, ft. Keney visited Pinckney and vicinity once a'Baenth and read mass in four different houses in the parish, viz., James Hughs in the village, Henry -larris and Martin Harris in Putnam township and Thomas Daly in Hamburg township. Father Kelly was succeeded in 1860 by Father Pulser, who attended Pinckney for about six months. Then came Rev, James VanGennups, who^read mass once a month in the homes of Henry Harris and Christopher Monks in Ptatnasn township, and once every three months at Peter Morgan's in . ^ Unaddhvtownship and at James Mui-fjj gravo's in the township of Marion. FT. VanGennups built the first church, which is still in use, in 1867. It is a modest brick structure with a seating capacity of 400. In 1874 Fr. VanGennups was succeeded by Rev. Timothy Slattery; who attended Pinckney; saying mass en the third Sunday, from 1874 to 1880, with the exception of two years, 1875-76, when his place was filled by Father Herbert. Fr. Slattery had charge of Dexter as a parish, with Pinckney, Chelsea and Bunker Hill as missions. In 1880 Father Dooig was appointed pastor of Chelsea and was given charge of Pinckney and Bunker Hill FT. Dooig was succeeded in 1885 by Rev- William P. Considine as pastor of Chelsea and missions. During the ten years that he had charge of Pinckney, Fr. Considine did noble work, especially in the cause of temperance. He also beautified the church by adding a sacristy and two side altars in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and S t Joseph In 1835 Rev. Michael J. Comerford came to Pinckney as its first resident pastor. He had Bunker Hilf for a mission for several years. While pastor of Pinckney he erected a beautitul pa* .oral res'dence.

HUNTING ACCIDENTS FAIL OFF Only Eight Deaths Recorded During Open Season—Violations of Game Laws Alee Fewer. Lansing. Diners at 2,000 Michigan hotels and restaurants since the advent of "wheatless" and "meatless" days sre savins tor the soldier boys &nd °W Allies at the rate of 4,000,000 pounds of wheat flour a year and 5,000,000 pound* of meat There are 3,000 hotels and restaurants in the state, bat 1,000 of them have so far failed to sign the Hoover pledge card. Hence, reports of what they are doing are not obtainable. Reports of the 2,000 hotels and restaurants tnat are obeying the augges tlon of Federal Administrator Hoover have been coming to State Administrator Prescott for several days. Two hundred Buch reports on meat were taken and tabulated. They showed that in 100 hotels and restaurants, scattered widely as to location and class, during the first month of the campaign, there was saved 42,591 pounds of meat. For the whole 2,000 the saving would be 425,910 pounds. Multiplying this estimate by 12 would give the yearly saving at the astounding figure of 5,110,920 pounds, or 2,- 565 tons. On the wheat-saving the first 10 were tabulated. They showed a saving of 15,848 pounds of wheat flour, which would make 316,960 pounds for the entire 2,000 pledged establishments. For the year this would mean a saving in them alone of 3.803,520 pounds, or more than 1,900 tons. While these figures are merely estimates, in the opinion of the state food authorities they are more than fairly accurate. The hotels and restaurants taken were of such a diversified character as to indicate that all would follow about the same ratio in the long run. Hunting Accidents Decrease. Eight hunters lost tbeir lives and many others were seriously injured in Michigan during the 1917 hunting sea son The record of casualties is less than 60 per cent of the normal of any year since 1905. Last year (here were 13 fatalities in northern Michigan woods. The year before there were 15. This year, owing to precautions urged by the game department and by the press, hunters in general exercised greater care. The wearing of red caps and other brightly colored clothing probably saved many lives. Only three hunters have been reported killed by other hunters. In every other case the hunter was injured through his own carelessness. The game reported killed does not approach that reported for many years past, probably because snow did not come until near the end of the season. Game wardens say there have been few violations or attempted violations of the game laws this year, probably because of activities of the state department and of sportsmen's clubs. State Valuation Is $4,000,000,000. State and county taxes In Michigan which became due and pay. able December 1, are assessed on the largest valuation of real and personal property the state has ever known. As compiled from the reports of the county assessors in ail counties by the state tax commission, the total valuation on all property in the state, real and personal, is $4,022,507,720. Some idea of the enormous Jump can be had from the state meat of the total last year, which was $3.S29,?51,140. The assessors accordingly hare found approximately $400,000,000 more property this year than last Of this increase, about $250,000,000 Mas been added in Wayne county. With the closing of the aaaessment books this fall, there are but 10 or IS counties which hare not been looked oyer by the state authorities and p l a c e * on aa actual cash basis, fn some eoaaties the commission sent men with the supervisors and explained their methods, so that while the eommissloa itself did not do the work, in most isstaace* the totals were what they would have aecsred. The counties which are not yet tip to cash vahif or hare sot been reviewed by the fomwlsatwi ere small, with the exception of Lapeer. This ti the only Urge coast? wbJoh has not been placed on cash basis. Most of Soldiers' Pay Saved. No city In Michigan Is saving so large a. percentage of Its earnings as Is Camp Custer, a "city" of 30,000 men and no women, with an average earning capacity per man considerably below that of any other community of its size. Approximately 75 per cent of the payroll of the camp is saved in one form or another, by men who never before, in the aggregate, have even had a bankbook. So if the army were not a physical and mental uplliter It at least is teaching young America to save, not only in Michigan, but throughout the country. The payroll to enlisted men is about $750,000 a month. That amount Is almost cut in two by the allotments to families and other dependents. This is compulsory. The Custer soldiers subscribed for more than a million dollars in Liberty bonds, payable in 10 monthly installments. That is $100,000 a month, which brings the total balance down to $275,000 after halving It on dependency allowances. The next big item in the saving program is lnsui nee. When the mattei has been properly presented to the men enough will probably, be taken to bring the total of premium payments in camp among the present members to more than $100,000 a month. With that the 75 per cent is passed. So if any parents believe their boys are breaking away from the guiding influences of the Y. M. C. A. and the churches and their officers and are indulging in riotous practices they need only think for a moment to realize that after the month's supply of tobacco and toilet articles and other incidentals which the government doesn't furnish has been purchased there is not much left for frolics along the primrose path. Doctors Urged to Rnllst. Michigan seems destined to succeed to Pennsylvania's proud place as leading the United States In volunteers for the medical reserve corps. More than 600 Michigan physicians have volunteered, 40 additional applications now are under consideration at Washington, and the draft has yielded 100 doctors for the reserve staff. A insistent call from the government for 10,000 more medical men has led to an urgent appeal being sent out to Michigan doctors to apply for comsissions. It is considered imperatlva that all physicians who are physically fit. should make application at once. It is pointed out that after the physician has received his commission and accepted it, there may be a delay of several weeks before he is called into active service, but the war department has given assurance that at least 15 days' notice will intervenue. Some of the training camps for phy sicians will be closed for the winter but will be reopened in the spring, so the surgeon-general's office must have the necessary data in hand within the next few weeks that it may allow sufficient time for the neophytes to put their business in order before doffing mufti for reserve corps regimentals. Foreigners Strong On Insurance. The practice of foreign-born men among Camp Custer soldiers naming as their beneficiaries, when taking out insurance, persons located In Europeon countries, is being discouraged by the divisional insurance bureau. Foreign-born soldiers with relatives still in Europe form almost half the total of the men who up to date have applied for insurance. In a surprisingly large number of cases these foreign beneficiaries are residing in Germany, / tria and Bulgaria, the countries the allies are warring against, and in Poland,, Russia and some of the Balkan states. The objection to these beneficiaries is that in case of the soldier's death it would be difficult, and frequently impossible, to see that the money reached the relatives' hands, in the Jumbled-up conditions that are bound to follow after the-war. Stories of Disease at Waco False. Rumors of epidemics of disease in Camp Mac Arthur which have made many parents write to commanding officers and were responsible for several parents making the long Journey down to Waco are without foundation. So are exaggerated tales of deaths In the camp. Since the base hospital was opened in September, there have been but nine deaths. The population of th* camp is in excess of 26,000 men, the population of the base hospital is approximately 1200. Most of these men are men who are awaiting discharge because they are not efficient enough for soldiers.

Nasturtiums Are Trailers Rather Than Climbers—A Beautiful Showing of the Qraceful Vine. THE BEAUTY OF VINES By JOSEPHINE DE MARFL When In doubt as to what to plant plant vines is sound advice. Vines beautify; they are useful; they are easy to grow. They shade from the hot tun; they hide old or obnoxious features; they encourage the birds to nest about the house; they are the drapery nature throws over and about with a lavish hand to soften and embellish. When preparing to plant vines, be sure to spade deeply, manure heavily, and prepare the soil carefully. After perennial and hardy vines are established it Is difficult to cultivate tbem, therefore, do all you can before planting them. When they begin to "spin" they must have supports, otherwise they will be stunted In growth and unsatisfactory. There are so many beautiful vines among annuals, perennials and hardy vines that it Is hard to decide, if the choice Is at all restricted. If yon wish to blot out an old building, cover it with vines. If you dislike the necessary fence, turn It into a thing of beauty by planting vines along its length. A dead tree renews its youth if vines are allowed to clothe its branches. Let vines shade the porch and thus make It a cool and leafy retreat from the summer's sun. Curtain the shutterless south window with vines and let them grow about the home wherever possible. The grape Is one of the most useful vines. It Is hardy; early in the spring its leaves are ready to cast n shadow. Its blossoms are delicately fragrant and its fruit is delicious. Attention must be given It in the way of fertility, pruning and tying. Among the wild vines the tmmpetvine, Tecoma rndlcans, wild clematis. (virgin's bower), and bitter-sweet are popular. In transplanting the latter from the woods be sure that you procure one that Is fertile, for some of them do not bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is another desirable wild vine, but it is not as common as those mentioned above. The wild climbing rose has an exquisite flower; and, once started, grows shoots ten to fifteen feet high in one season. The climbing roses are led by the rambler, and its hybrids. However, its foliage gets shabby and spoils Its beauty as a porch plant., It makes a brave show when blooming. The good old prafrie queen still continues to be the standard climbing rose. AD the Ayrshire roses are hardy, also the Cherokee roses. The sweet briar, Lord Penzance, Is in a way a climbing rose. The wistarias take a long time to become established, but repay by the blooms. The Madeira vine, mignonette scented, has tuberous roots, which are not hardy, grows fast and forms a fine screen with Its thick, fleshy leaves. The matrimony vine, although Its blooms are small and inconspicuous, grows quickly, throwing out long, graceful sprays that droop to the earth. The moon-vine wants rich earth, plenty of sun and water. It makes astonishing growth in a season. However, for the best results it most be started In the house. Those who want a curious and beautiful flower should plant the passionflower. The hardy varieties need mulching during the winter until well established. The tender passion flowers are very extremely beautiful, but are rather shy bloomers. The honeysuckles are desirable and popular on account of their many good qualities. They grow quickly, forming dense shade and are iron-clad as regards Insects and disease. Hall's Evergreen blooms all summer, and its flowers are delightfully jasmine-scented. It holds Its leaves until spring, almost, and therefore should not be allowed to shade windows which need the winter light The various clematis are all beautiful and desirable climbers. It is not generally known that if Clematis paniculata Is severely cut back after flowering it will form new wood which will bear fine flowers and many of them the next season. Ideal plants for covering brick, stone and rough surfaces are the BIDpelopsis and hedena helix—the true European ivy. The latter prefers a northern exposure as the alternating thawing and freezing of late winter ts apt to kill it if grown where the sun strikes it. The ampelopsis, better known as the Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at all times beautiful. Morning glories, cypress vines, sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japanese hops, with cucumber are among our most desirable annual climbers. Seeds of them do not cost much, and a package of one or the other will yield shade, beauty and grace. The Virginia creeper, the honeysuckle, nasturtiums and moon vines are trailers rather than climbers. Of garden plants the sweet potato and the dewberry are genteel enough to be grown as trailers. They give edibles instead of flowers. 4 WOMAN IS AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS A wrinkled, careworn face can easily make a difference of twenty years In a woman's appearance.

A sollier, back from the trenches, sitting in i corner near the entrance, puts his land into his pocket for his fare, and DUIIs out a shilling and some coppers. The bus jolts violently and, to the soliier's dismay, the shilling slips from Jais fingers just as lights go out, as they always do in London, on these lays, when a' bridge is being crossed. The passengers with one accord begin "o grope for the soldier's shilling. 1 'Fraid it rolled off, mate," says the inductor.

It would be well if every American would dispossess his mind of two popular and pleasing fallacies. First, that the United States took arms as a knight errant to right the wrongs of France and Belgium. Second, that our impressive entrance into the war must inevitably, and of itself, decide the issue. We are righting as a free peo- Sle for our own safety, and we must ght hard and well or suffer a shameful defeat. Germany denied us the seas because ah« thought we would accept oar fate from her hands. She permits herself now a profound contempt for our army. Untrained men with defective amunition are about as terrible in her uyea as prairie dogs would be in ours. She bossts happily that we will pay her the indemnity wnich is essential for her reconstruction. Meanwhile, to make sure of our downfall, she plots treasonably in every state in the union. Perhaps, if she wins the day, she will recomDerse auch men as Senators Stone and La- Follette and Mayor Thompson of Chicago. More iikely she will fling them on the scrap-heap. But loyal Americana may well understand that unless t»is nation put* forth all its strength, without reserve, without fatigue, without self pity; unless we crusli the traitors at home, and defeat the enemy abroad, a bitter future awaits us. At best, we shall be humiliated, impoverished, anr.« crippled in our foreign trade for many yearti to come. At worst,we shall see in our land the blazing homes, the ravished women, the butcherec children, the unutterable shame and horror which mark the wake of a German army of invasion. ...J.-.

HAVE BIG PROBLEMS TO SOLVE Must Decide Methods of Raising Billions of Dollars to Carry On W a r — B i t t e r Fights Loom. Washington—The second war session of congress is under way. After an eight-weeks' rest members of both houses got back into the harness Monday, prepared to buckle down to a ees alon that will in all probability be a lengthy ene. Immediately after convening and appointing cohjmjttees to formally notify President Wilson and each other that the second session of the sUty-fifth congress was in readiness, adjournments were taken out of respect to members who died during the recess— Senator Husting, of Wisconsin, who was accidently shot, and Representative Martin, of Illinois. Another feature of the opening day was the receipt of appropriation estimates, aggregating many billions of dollars, for war and governmental purposes for the next fiscal year. Politics Will Crop Out. Partisan politics is apt to crop out more persistently during the coming session than in the extraordinary session of the past summer. The biennial congressional elections come next November and as campaign time approaches congressmen will be looking for Issues. There will be a prolonged contest over the manner of raising the money to meet the enormous war costs. Out of the $21,000,000,000 of the current fiscal year about one-fourth will be raised by taxes of various sorts and three-fourths by bond issues. Speaker Clark and others believe the taxes and bond issues should be divided on a 60-50 basis. The war tax bill is designed to raise something less than $3,000,000,000 annually. There will be pressure to amend it especially by Increasing the taxes upon excessive wealth and war profits. Third Loan In Prospect. The two Liberty loans thus far floated totaled less than $6,000,000,000. Secretary McAdoo stated recently that he thought it would be necessary to raise to meet expenditures of the current year not more than $10,000,000,000 additional by the issue of bonds, war savings certificates and treasury certificates of Indebtedness. It is supposed there will have to be another Liberty loan late in the winter, but no congressional action is necessary. Congress will have to de cide, however, on bond issues for loans for the next fiscal year. PLANES BUILT IN GRAN0 RAPIDS Furniture Men Organize Company— To Make City Aero Center. Grand Rapids.—The furniture manufacturers of Grand Rapids have mobil lzed their industrial facilities for the manufacture of airplanes. As a result this city will become one of the chief air-craft producing centers. The Grand Rapids Airplane company was organized a few days ago at a meeting of Grand Rapids manufacturers. The capital is $200,000, all subscribed by manufacturers. The company will not be an operating company out will serve as a medium between the government and manufacturers <u distributing contracts. A large contract on a cost basis, plug 15 per cent, has been awarded the company by the war department. The airplane has about 1,500 parts and with the parts carefully standardized the orders will be distributed a^ received among the factories and it is expected practically every factory in town will have a share of the work. Actual work will start as soon as the lumber is delivered. NEGRO IS BURNED AT STAKE T a k e n From 8herlff By Mob—-Alleged to Have Attacked Woman.

Army Engineers Help British Resist German Counter Attacks. VOYAGE MADE WITHOUT MISHAP Announcement of Arrival Is First Official Notice of Large Troop Movements Overseas. Washington.—America's rainbow division is in France, along with other national guard units. They represent a total of 31 states. The rainbow division is composed of troops from Michigan, Wisconsin, New Yoork, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, South Carolina, California, Virginia. Missouri, North Carolina, Louisiana. Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Texas, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ne. braska, Colorado, Oregon and the District of Columbia. (The Michigan unit in the rainbow division is Ambulance company No. 1 of the Michigan brigade of the federal, ized guard, and is composed for the most part of Detroiters.) Announcement of the arrival in France of the first national guard units give the first official notice that an extensive troop movement has been accomplished despite hostile submarines, shortage of troop and supply ships, and other obstacles, but without the loss of a man. Thousands of men have been moved to the seaboard from all parts of the country, loaded on transports and safely landed in France without any general knowledge of the factss having been disclosed to the country at large. It can be stated that the announcement covers a large movement that has been in progress for several weeks. The next stage will be actual occupation of front line branches. Guard units to be Bent later will be more sectional in character, the grouping of the old divisional organization having been adhered to as closely as possible. Secretary Baker has announced that as fast as men and ships are ready, they will be combined and additional forces sent to join Gen. Pershing. With the British Army in F r a n c e - Large numbers of American army engineers working on British railways in the region of Gouzencourt, caught in the German turning movement, escaped by lying in shell holeB and prone on the ground while the British fire over them. There they remained until the British were near enough to enable the Americans to join the ranks, when they fought valiantly and played an important part in replying to the enemy. British commanders refer to their gallant behavior with the greatest enthusiasm. Americans elsewhere took a busy hand in the fighting and were under hot German shell fire. Numbers of them volunteered for patrol work in the danger zone and all acquitted themselves finely. A British general, told correspondents that he could not praise them too highly. It is reported that several Americana were captured, but escaped after a few hours and rejoined the British. The engineers were mainly from New York. COAL PRICES RAISED AGAIN Increase of 35 Cents a Ton Authorized to Meet Wage increase. Washington.—A general increase o; 35 cents a ton was added to the price of anthracite coal at the mines Saturday by President Wilson, to meet a proposed wage increase for anthracite miners. The new prices are effective immediately and will add more than $30,000,000 to the public's annual cor.l bill. The wage increase was agreed on by operators' and miners' representatives here two weeks ago contingent on higher coal prices, to absorb the raise. When their negotiation? were ended the operators and miners turned over to the fuel administration their agreement and estimates of what it would add to the cost of produc tion. They asked that prices be raised at least 45 cents a ton. TEUTONS GAIN ON WEST FRONT Cleveland, O.—Demands have been presented to practieally every railroad in the country for increase ia wages approximately 40 per cent higi>>jr than the present scale. The railroads are asked to make answer to the demands by December 31 at the latest. As both sides have already agreed to mediate the case before the United States board of mediation and conciliation, the demands are expected to be threshed out here during January. Arbitration under the president's "undestanding" with the labor chiefs, will follow, if necessary. Meanwhile, should legislation bo required to prevent a transportation tie up during the war, ample time remains for its preparation. The trainmen and conductors are firmly supported in their demands by the other two national brotherhoods— the locomotive engineers and the firemen, who are expected shortly to frame similar demands. The railroads already have declared their financial inability to meet this added wage burden. They are expected to fight the increases to the last ditch, despite the fact they have announced they will "rest their case'' with President Wilson. RUSS ARMY SAID TO BE LOYAL Bulk of Fighting Forces Said to Oppose Separate Peace. London.—Reassuring messages from Russia to the effect that no separate peace will be tolerated, but that the armies under General Dukhonln will fight on, have been received by the Russian embassy in London. The representatives of the Keren sky provisional government declare that :t was only a matter of a few weeks, it may be sooner, when the Bolshivikl will be completely repudited, as the forces in south Russia, which is overwhelmingly opposed to a separate peace, control the supplies. The fact the embassy staffs in London are carrying on their routine work with the Dukhonln headquarters, as well as with part of the Russian navy, the same as usual, is said to indicate that there is no intention to recognize the Petrograd usurpers. They declare that the situation is most delicate, because of the ignorance of the masses; therefore the forces which are working to put Russia again on her feet are doing so quietly. MRS. DESAULLES WINS FREEDOM In Violent Counter Attacks Retake Cambral Positions. U-BOAT TOLL MOUNTS HIGHER British Admiralty Reports Loss of 14 Large and 7 Small Ships. London—Fourteen British merchantmen of 1,600 tons and over, and seven of less than 1,600 tons, were sunk by mines or submarines week ending November 25, according to the admiralty statement. Two weeks ago it was announced that the German submarine campaign had utterly collapsed. Only one large boat and five small ones fell victims to the undersea craft. The next week the U-boats accounted for 10 large ships and seven small ones. According to compiled figures the tola] British ships losses during the 39 weeks of unrestricted U-boat warfare are 1,073. London.—Germans in a violent offensive over the entire Cambrai front have pushed back General Byng's troops at several points. Especially severe was the attack between the Bourlon wood and Moeuvres, where the British line under its impetus was driven back about two miles to the viciniey of the Bapaume-Cambrai road. Likewise, on the southern base, the enemy drove through from Gonnelieu to Goyzeaucourt—another two miles. To the southward, in the region of Gonnelieu, the enemy entered the British positions at several points and penetrated their line for some distance, but later were driven back.

Minealo, N.

Her son, little Jack, for whose possession she shot her husband, was restored to her on Sunday. Mrs. Dr. Saulles testified that her husband's unfaithfulness forced her to get a divorce and when he refused tc permit her to visit their son she shot him in a moment of desparation. KAISER FEARS GERMAN DEFEAT Gerard Says Teuton Populace Would Rlae Against Rulers, New York.—The bulk of the new Cuban sugar crop will soon become available in the New York market under an agreement reached at a conference of the Cuban sugar commission and the international sugar committee, fixing the base price at $4.90 per 100 pounds. This price representss $4.60 per hundred-weight "free on board at Cuban porta plus an estimated 30 cents freight rate to New York. It was reported to the International sugar committee that American beet sugar is moving steadily and satisfactorily. Ohio refineries are said to be receiving about 10,000 tons dally. This will help relieve the situation? New York.—"The French revolution will look like a Methodist Sunday school picnic if the German people ever rise against their present rulers." So declared James W. Gerard, former ambaasador to Germany from the United States, in an address here. "This fact" added Gerard, "will be because of the greater brutality of the Germans. Because the military lead, era of Germany and the Kaiser know this, they are willing to tight on in the hope of ultimate victory. "They have learned to fear what doubtless will happen when the people know that Germany has been de feated." \ffi|P .Based On Cost Per Tablet It Saves 9½^ Mjp CASCARAjg QUININE vm*> No advance ia price for ebb »0» «*ld rcawdp-aScfor M tabs**—L__ coid tablets now 30c far 31 tabkta— Figured oa proportionate cost par tablet, you save 9%c when you bag HUTs—Cures Cold ia ' 34 hours—grip ia a days—aioaejr baofci fit rails. 14 Tablets for At a a » D n * Stoat \ CejJP ) Torpedo-Lieutenant. A modern torpedo-lieutenant and his men have a thrilling und most important place to fill, writes u London correspondent. The officer has to be an electrical engineer ,a scientist, versed in chemistry, a telegraphist, a submarine mining engineer, a mechanic, and various other things. During action the torpedo-lieutenant must stand by and wait, because the opening ranges of a modern naval engagefent are so great that torpedoes cannot be used. Hut when the torpedo bugles sound for action the crews immediately repair below decks, load the torpedo tubes, and again wait for orders to fire. For hours the officer stands thus, watching the combat. Then suddenly his chance conies. The ships close in. There is a good chance to put a torpedo into an enemy vessel. "Snick!" A dull hissing tells that the torpedo has left the tube and is speeding towards Us mark. Then the tubes are again loaded, and so it goes on. KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for one of th prominent life insurance companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority ot those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

Synoptic The story opens In the home of the Rev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark investigate Christian Science. CHAPTER 111—Continued. "Hum—that's a different matter," laid Fairy more thoughtfully. "He hasn't wanted to yet. You see, he's a man and can go by himself without having It look as though nobody wanted to be seen with him. And he's a strangex over there, and doesn't need to get chummy with the girls. The boys here all know me, and ask me to go, and—a man, you see, can just be passive and nothing happens. But a girl's got to be downright negative, and It's no joke. One misses so many good times. You see the cases are different, Prue." "Yes, that's so," Prudence assented absent-mindedly, counting off ten more threads. "Then you would object if he had dates?" queried Aunt Grace smilingly. "Oh, no, not at all—If there was any occasion for it—but there Isn't. And I think I would be Justified In objecting If he deliberately made occasions for himself, don't you?" "Yes, that would be different," Prudence chimed in, such "miles away" In her voice that Fairy turned on her Indignantly. "Prudence Starr, you make me wild," she said. "Can't you drop that everlasting hemstitching, embroidering, tatting, crocheting, for ten minutes to talk to me? What In the world are 70¾ going to do with it all, anyhow? Are you Intending to carpet your floors with i t r "This Is a napkin," Prudence explained good-naturedly. "The Mft cost me fifteen dollars." She sighed. "Did the veil come?"

Fairy's *yes twinkled, but Prudence had no intention of sarcasm. "But I can't help i t can I?

You see, Aunt Grace, we were matching pennies—you'd better not mention It to father. We've turned over a new leaf now, and quit for good. But we were matching—and they made a bargain that whenever it was my turn, one of them would throw heads and one tails, and that way I never could win anything. And I didn't catch on till I saw Jim wink, and so I thought It was only right to give the pennies to the heathen." "How Is your mother, Jim?" "Just fine. Miss Prudence, thank you. She said to tell you she would send a basket of red Junes tomorrow, if you want them. The twins can eat them, I know. Carol ate twenty-two when they were out Saturday." "Yes, I did, and I'm glad of It," said Carol stoutly. "Such apples you never saw, Prudence. They're about as Mg as a thimble, and two-thirds core* They're good, they're fine, I'll say that—but there's nothing to them. If I had a ranch as big as yours, Jim, I'll bet you a dollar I'd have, apples bigger than a dime!" " 'Bet you a dollar,*" quoted Fairy. "Well. Til wager my soul, if that sounds more like Shakespeare. Don't go away, Jim ; we're not fighting. This Is Just the way Fairy and I make love to each other. You're perfectly welcome to stay, but be careful of your grammar, for now that Fairy's a senior— will be next year, If she lives— she even tries to tench father the approved method of doing a ministerial sneeze In the pulpit." "Think I'd better go," decided the tall, good-looking youth, laughing as he looked with frank, boyish admiration into Carol's sparkling face. "With Fairy after my grammar, and you to criticise my manner and my morals, I see right now that a parsonage is no safe place for a farmer's son." And laughing again, he thrust his cap into his pocket and walked quickly out the new cement parsonage walk. But at the gate he paused to call back, "Don't make a mistake, Carol, and use the heathen's pennies for candy." The girls on the porch laughed, and five pairs of eyes gazed after the tall figure rapidly disappearing. "He's nice," said Prudence. "Yes," assented Carol. Mrve got a notion to marry him after a little. That farm of his is worth about ten thousand." MAre you going to wait until he asks your* "Certainly not! Anybody can marry a man after he asks her. The thing to do. if you want to be really original and interesting* is to marry him before ha asks you, and surprise him.*' "Yea,* agreed Lark, **lf you wait until he asks you he's likely to think it over once too often and not ask you at alL* "Doosnt that sound exactly like a book, aowr* demanded Carol proudly. "Fairy couldn't havs said t h a t r "No," said Fairy. "I couldn't Thank goodness!—I have what Is commonly known as brains. Look It up in the dictionary, twins. It's something yon ought to know shout*' "Oh, Prudence," cried Lark dramatically, 1 forgot to tail yon. Ton cant get married after alt" For ten seconds Prudenos, as wen s s Fairy and their aunt stared In denes smiled. "Oh, can't If Whafs the joke nowr -Joksl It*s no joke. OaroTs atck, that's whan the Joke. .Ton cant gat married without Carol, can your A burst of any laughter greeted this "Carol sick t She act* trick p» "She looks s i c k P "Where 1B she a t c k r Carol leaned limply back .against the pillar, trying to compos* her bright face into a semblance of Illness. "In my tummy," she announced weakly. This called forth more laughter. "It's her conscience," said Fairy. "It's matching pennies, Maybe she swallowed one." "It's probably those two pieces of pie she ate for dinner, and the one that vanished from the pantry shortly after," suggested Aunt Grace. Carol sat up quickly. "Welcome home. Aunt Grace P* she cried. "Did you have a pleasant visit7" "Carol r reproved Prudence. "I didn't mean it for Impudence, aautte," ssttt Carol, getting up and bending affectionately over the hammock, gently caressing the brown hair Just beginning to silver about her forehead. "But It does amuse me so to hear a lady of your age and dignity Indulge in such lavish conversational exercises." Lark swallowed with a forced effort "Did It hurt. Carol? How did you get it all out In one breath?" "Lark, I do wlBh you wouldn't gulp that way when folks use big words," said Fairy. ' I t looks—awful." "Well, I won't when I get to be as old and crabbed as—father," said Lark. % "Sit down, Carol, and remember you're sick." Carol obediently sat down, and looked sicker than ever. "You can laugh if you like," she said, "I am sick—at least, I was this afternoon. I've been feeling very queer for three or four days. I don't think I'm quite over it y e t " "Pie! , You were right, Aunt Grace! That's the way pie works." "It's not pie at all," declared Carol heatedly. "And I didn't take that piece out of the pantry, at least, not exactly. I caught Connie sneaking it, and I gave her a good calling down, and she hung her head and slunk away in disgrace. But she had taken such big bites that It looked sort of unsanitary, so I thought I'd better finish it before It gathered any germs. But it's not pie. Now that I think of I t it was my head where I was sick. Don't you remember, Lark, I said my head achedT" "Yes, and her eyes got red and bleary when she was reading. And— and there was something else, too, Carol, what—" "Your eyes are bloodshot Carol. They do look bad," Prudence examined them closely. "Now, Carol Starr, don't you touch another book or magazine until after the wedding. If you think I want a bloodshot bridesmaid, you're mistaken." They all turned to look across the yard at Connie, just turning In. Connie always walked, as Carol said, "as If she mostly wasn't there." But she usually "arrived" by the time she got within speaking distance of her sister. "Goodness, Prue, aren't you going to do anything but eat after you move to Des Moines? Carol and I were counting the napkins last night—was It a hundred and seventy-six, Carol, or—some awful number I know. Carol piled them up In two piles and we kneeled on them to say our prayers, and—I can't say for sure, but I think Carol pushed me. Anyhow, I lost my balance, and usually Tm pretty, well balanced. I toppled over right after •God save,' aiyfl Carpi screamed 'the napkins' — Prue's wedding napkins! It was an awful funny effect; I couldn't finish my prayers." "Carol Starr! Fifteen years old and—" "That's a very much exaggerated story, Prue. Connie blamed It on me as usual. She piled them up herself to see If there were two feet of them— she put her stockings on the floor first so the dust wouldn't rub them off. It was Lark's turn to sweep and you know how Lark sweeps, and Connie was very careful, indeed, and—" "Come on. Fairy, and see the veil!" T h e veil! Did it c o m e r With a Joyous, undignified whoop the parsonage girls scrambled to their feet and rushed Indoors in a fine Kilkenny Jumble. Aunt' Grace looked after them, thoughtfully, smiling for a second, and then with a girlish shrug of her slender shoulders she slipped out and followed them inside. The twins were undeniably lazy, and slept s s late of mornings as the parsonage law allowed. 80 it was that when Lark skipped into the dining room, three minutes late for breakfast she found the whole family, with the exception of Carol, well in the midst of their meat "8bs was sick," she began quickly, than, interrupting herself— "Oh, good morning! Beg pardon for forgetting my ssannera. But Carol was sick. Prudence, and t hope you and Fairy are ashamed of yourselves—and auntie, too—for making fun of her. She couldn't sleep all night and rolled and tossed, and her hand hurt and she talked in her sleep, and—" 1 thought she didn't steep.** "Wen, she dMnt steep much, but whan she did she mumbled and said things and—" Than the dining-room door opened again, and Carol—nor hair about her shoulders, nor feet hare, enveloped in a soft dinging kimono of faded blue— stalked majestically Into the There was woe In her eyee, uud her voice was tragic. "It is gone," she said. "It is gone!" Her appearance was uncahny, to say the least, and the family gazed at her with some coucera, despite the fact that Carol's vagaries were so common as usually to elicit small respect. **Gone I" she cried, striking her palms together. "Gone!" "If you do anything to spoil that wedding, papa'U whip you, if you are fifteen years old." said Fairy. Lark sprang to her sister's side. "What's gone, Carrie T" she pleaded with tears. "What's gone? Are you out of your head?" "No 1 Out of my complexion," was the dramatic answer. Even Lark fell back, for the moment, stunned. "Y-your complexion," she faltered. "Look! Look at me. Lark. Don't you see? My complexion la gone— my beautiful complexion that I loved. Look at me! Oh, I would gladly have sacrificed a leg, or an arm, a—rib or an eye, but not my dear complexion!" Sure enough, now that they looked carefully, they could indeed perceive that the usual soft creaminess of Carol's skin was prickled and sparred with ugly red splotches. Her eyes were watery, shot with blood. For a time they gaxed in silence, then they burst Into laughter. "Pie!" cried Fairy. "It's raspberry pie, coming out, Carol!" The corners of Carol's lips twitched slightly, and tt was with difficulty that she maintained her wounded regal bearing. But Lark, always quick to resent an Indignity to this twin of her heart, turned upon them angrily. "Fairy Starr! You are a wicked, unfeeling thing! You sit there and laugh and talk about pie when Carol Is sick and suffering—her lovely complexion all ruined, and it was the joy of my life, that complexion was. Papa—why don't you do something?" But he only laughed harder than ever. "If there's anything more preposterous than Carol's vanity because of her beauty, It's Lark's vanity for her," he said. Aunt Grace drew Carol to her side, and examined the ruined complexion closely. Then she smiled, but there was regret In her eyes. "Well, Carol, you've spoiled your part of the wedding sure enough. You've got the measles." Then came the silence of utter horror. "Not the measles," begged Carol, wounded afresh. "Give me diphtheria, or smallpox, or—or even leprosy, and I'll bear it bravely and with a smile, but It shall not be said that Carol's measles spoiled the wedding." "Oh, Carol," walled Prudence, "don't have the measles—please don't. I've waited all my life for this wedding— don't spoil It." "Well, I always said it was a mistake," said Fairy. "A big wedding—" "Oh, Fairy, please don't tell me that again. I know It so well. Papa, whatever shall we do? Maybe Jerry hasn't had them either." "Why, It's easily arranged," said Lark. "We'll Just postpone the wedding until Carol's quite well again." "Bad luck," said Connie. "Too much work," said Fairy. "Well, she can't get married without Carol, can sheT' ejaculated Lark. "Are you sure It's measles, Aunt Grace?" "Yes, it's measles." "Then." said Fairy, "we'll get Alice Bird or Katie Free to bridesmaid with Lark. They are the same size and either will de all right. She can wear Carol's dress. You won't mind that, will you, Carol V "No." said Carol moodily, "of course I wont. The only real embroidery dress I ever had In ray life—and haven't got that yet! But go ahead and get anybody you like. Fro hoodooed, that's what It is. It's a punishment because you and Jim cheated yesterday, Lark." "What did you d o r asked Connie. "You seem to be getting the punishment 1" "Shall we have Alice or Katie? Which do you prefer. Lark?" "You'll have to get them both," was the stole answer. "I won't bridesmaid without Carol." •Don't be silly, Lark. You'll have to." •Then wait for Carol." "Papa, you must make her." • Carol's "uplifting" work among the ening has an amusing end.

Sir William MneGregor, G. C. M. O.. Is a man of Herculean strength—Indeed, until he took part some years ago in the rescue of some Indian coolies from a shipwrecked vessel, he stated that he had not previously realized the value of his great strength, says a correspondent. A broken mast was the only connection with the stranded vessel, and over this, again and again, Sir William clambered with a man or woman on his back, and more often than not a child also between his teeth, held by the clothes. On a reef below was a woman, who had fallen overboard, having got at the ship's spirits and become mad drunk. Two men who weut after her were In the art of being swept out to sea, when 'Sir William slid down a rope, seized the woman's hair between his teeth, grasped the two men, and brought all three to a place of safety. For this he received the Albert Gold Medal from Queen Victoria, and the Clarke Gold Medal from Australia. An Average Load. "There goes what you might call the average suburbanite." "How do you place him?" "He's carrying home something his wife asked him to get at a department store, a steak, a head of lettuce and a new record for his phonograph." Some Reason.
