BY EVELYN HocE.

Sophie sat bolt upright beside her
mother and listened with wide round
eyes. In the first place there was a
strange man in Doctor Stewards pull
pit and he talked in a ringing resonant
voice and his words rushed as if he
were afraid he would not have time to
say all he wanted to say. Doctor Stew
art almost drawled and did not lean
over the pulpit edge with nervous
hands outstretched as did this man.
So this man was we'll worth watching.
The man was telling an absorbing
tale Of his missionary work in a GER
tain section Of the country. When he
ended he said simply but forcibly that
the people among whom he worked
needed anything and everything. mot

the necessaries of life. Think of what
I have told you and give freely"
Sophie hop-skipped alongside her
mother when they reached the open
air. What are we goin' to give?" she
inquired breathlessly.
Sophie's mother laughed shortly. IL
haven't any idea," she said. 1--WE sent
all our old clothes to the mission and
I'm short of money. l need a great
many things myself and if do get any
money there's that tea must give"
Sophie's mind wandered. Teas were
vague things that required little girls
to stay upstairs.
THAT child is possessed" Sophies
mother said later in the day, when for
the sixth time Sophie begged to know
what they could give the missionary's
people. Goodness me! As IL one
wasn't driven nearly crazy with hands
out on every side! Don't bother me
now-oh, We'll send something"
1t was the next day that Sophie sat
thinking. Mother had said they mould
send something, but mother was out
for the day and nothing had been sent.
Sophie slid down from the couch and
wandered about, frowning. Maybe the
poor people we're freezing to death at
that very moment.
She decided that she might as we'll
save her mother the trouble of sending
things, inasmuch as her mothers con.
sent had been won. Sophie proceeded
to her mothers large closet.

ers and hanging in a straight row on
the brass rod that ran across the lit
tie room. Then she set to work.
She rubbed her hands delightedly
over the violet velvet dress. That
could go-mother had said the last
time she wore 1t that she just hated
it because Celeste had botched It. The
poor folks would be glad OF 1t even If
1t was botched. They could wear 1t
to market or something.
And that pink chiffon evening dress
hadn't mother remarked that she
simply never would wear the thing
again after what Mrs. Smith said about
woman Of her age appearing in girl
ish colors?
There was the blue serge, too-cer-
tsiniy mother could give that when
she tad three other cloth dresses.
And here we're five coats-well, this
looked most like being given away, the
brown, silky one. with the nice fur
collar and fur cuffs. It was remark
able how easily everything COM
pressed into suitcase. There would
be plenty Of room for some things Of
fathers for some poor. freezing man.
After searching through the gar.
ments in fathers closet and anxiously
studying them Sophie decided on a
suit father didn't seem to care about.
At any rate, he never wore 1t.
Sophie carefully folded up the long
tailed coat and the rest Of the things
and added them to the suitcase. She
took handful of socks for good meas
ure. 1t happened that her hands land
ed in the end of the drawer devoted to
her parents silken footwear. Then
with relieved sigh she snapped shut
the suitcase and slipped out.
From mother" Sophie told the wom-
en- at the church who were receiving
things for the missionary box. She
beamed angelically.
What good little girl to carry this
all the way!" said one Of the women.
That evening Sophie's mother had
an excited conversation over the tele-
phone. Then she said to Sophie's ia
Their: "It's only because the suitcase
had my name on it that they knew
whom to call up. Your dress suit-and
my new marten trimmed coat-and my
best gowns-why, it's perfectly dread
full"
Sophies father chuckled. He medi-
tated on the dress suit 81 almost
wish" he said, daringly, that there
hadn't been any name on the suitcase.
Sophie's heart is in the right place,
anyway."-Chicago Daily News.

THE AUSTRALIAN AND
NEW ZEALAND MILITARY
SYSTEM CIV EN- TIES T

Correspondence of the Associated
Press)
London, Oct 1.-THE enforced mill
tary training system in Australia and
New Zealand is too new to be put to a
test in the contingents from the an
tpodes sent to the present war, but it
is talked of seriously here as possible
means to strengthen the English army
and at the same time escape the con-
scription system - the continent.
The Australian en- does not take
men away from productive labor as
does European consumption. IL is
more as if national guard service were
required of every able bodied man in
the United States, beginning with the
public school military training. 1t aims
only to provide trained men for en1er-
gencies instead of a seasoned and
menacing force.
Military service in Australia begins
with the boys at the age of II. But
from IL to ii the junior cadets, as
they are called. wear no uniforms and
their training is confined to gymnas-
tics. marching, swimming and first aid.
Senior cadets, from IA to Is years OF
age, have a simple uniform and re-
ceive instruction in company and bat
TALON drill. musketry, sentry duty end
the like. The number of hours Of
drill does not exceed that of an av-
erage National guard company in
America.
What gives discipline to this force
is the law. An employer who keeps an
employee from his military duties is
subject to fine of $500. A senior
cadet evading duty is liable to fine
ranging from $25 to $500 for each year
of evasion, the penalty being enforced
only in cases where the offender is Is
years of age or over. From the years
IS to 25, there are required of each
man 80 drills annually. of which 20
must be out of door parades and II
halliday or six whole day exercises in
the field. Further each man puts in
at least a week in annual training N
camp and also fires a course of mus
kerry each year.

attempts to interfere with the train

blacklisted as well for all govern
ment contracts.

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds of healthy stay there fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re-
suits. Here is a good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and meas
ure yourself. Then take Sargol-one
tablet with every meal-for two weeks.
Then weigh and measure again. 1t isn't
a question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin
man or woman can easily add from five
to eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple direction.
And best of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat.
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats sugars and starches of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe fat produe-
ing neurishment for the tissues and
blood-prepares 1t in an easily assim-
Hated form which the blood can read
lily accept. All this nourishment now
passes from your body as waste. But
Sargol stops the waste and does it
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas
ant efficient and inexpensive. Bowditch
ditch Webster Co. and other leading
druggists in Augusta and vicinity sell
1t in large boxes-forty tablets to
package-on a guarantee of weight in
crease or money back.-Adv.
