In contemplating the present war and
the equipments, defences and arma-
ments, 1t must be remembered that the
substitution of the blanket scarf roll
for the knapsack, now adopted by all
nations, was introduced by the Confed-
crates in the first year of the civil war;
that they were the first to employ. tor
pedoes in war; the first to build an IRON
clad and the first to use submarine
boats and torpedoes. The Confederate
SAetes were the most progressive of all
warllke powers in the advancement Of
military conveniences and appliances.

Make It a Law.

How about our city council passing a
law making it a fine of So for a minor
TO be caught on the streets smoking a
cigarette? Such a law is constitutional.
The cigarette smoking habit by minors
is the first step to drinking whiskey
and other connections. What an awful
combination they both make! Mothers
and fathers, did you ever stop. to think
of the dreadful consequences the cigar
cite habit has on your childg
The cigarette ruins the mind and
body, while whiskey fires the brain to
dastardly deeds.
The drunkard is arrested for being
drunk and fined; then why not the
youthful tots and minors be fined for

Taking Desperate Chances

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality,
makes the system less able to withstand
each succeeding cold, and paves the
way for more serious diseases. Can you
afford to take such desperate chances

famous for its cures of colds, can be had
for q trifeq For sale by all druggists
