Old Booze, the Magician
BY Walter Mason in Golfers Weekly


Old Booze, the magician. does
wonderful things; he'll change the
condition of paupers and kings.
Some fagons of whisky concealed
in his frame, the cripple grows
frlsky. forgets that he's lame; the
beggars are riding on beautiful
steeds, the man aw-abiding does
desperate deeds. The husband
and father who's kind to his wife
kicks up huge pother, inaugurates
strife; and then in the morning he
coughs up his fine, and gets a grim
warning 10 cut out the wine. The
man who for mildness is famed far
and near is driven to wildness by
schooners of beer; with shotgun or
Ratchet We see him cavort. and
doesn't he catch it when dragged
into court! The thoughtful provide
er, whose kids were we'll fed, now
lays in hard cider instead of rye
bl cad The man who was straight
er than any strings look, poured
gin in his crater, and now he's q
crook The man who was natty
and groomed like a beau, is ragged
and ratty, an emblem of woe. One
held the truth higher than any in
town; Booze made him liar, and
battered hin down. Old Booze,
with his chalice. doth miracles
work; he ruins the palace, disman-
ties the kirk. Industrial regions
he turns to a void, increases the
legions of starved unemployed. The
depths and the shadows of trouble
he brings, he leads to the gallows
the victim who swings; he smuggles
the coppers of men who are bind
persua ling the paupers he's friend,
ly and kind. And always he's
lily, and blithely he cries: "Join
me in my folly fools only are
wise!"

WEDNE SDAY,

The kaiser's forces in Flanders
have renewed their fierce attacks on
the allies line and have taken the
town Of Dixmude, between Ypres and
the coast.
For their side the French announce
the recapture Of Lombaertzyde, near
tie northeast coast, thus signifying
for the first time that this town ha
been taken by the Eaiser's troops.
Fighting of the fiercest characte
Is taking place all along the line from
Dixmude to Arras, France, with the
principal point Of attack near Ypres.
Petrograd asserts that the Russian
forces Lave destroyed railroads in
East Prussia, near the bodrer line.
although the advance into German ter
rltory has proceeded only little way
thus for. The German achievements
are being sent to the line between
Thorn and Trcslau.

Forest Notes

The town forest of Baden. Baden

Of Sc Is per acre, or a total not
profit of nearly S67 $50.
Out side Of its use for fence
post, black locust finds its princal
pal utilization in insulator pins and
brackets for telegraph and telephone
lines.
One hundred shade trees will be
planted bv the Massachusetts for.
estry association in cities or towns
of four population classes which
win prize contests for excellence in
street tree planting.
The Russian government has
placed an embargo on all kinds of
lumber, to prevent its expectation;
vault lumber, including Circassian
vault, much priced BY American
furniture makers, is specifically
mentioned.
Experiences with forests fires on
the national forests this year show
that automobiles, where they can
he used. furnish the quickest and
cheapest transportation for crews
Of fire fighters. Motor rates are
higher than those for teams for the
acutnal time employed, but the
total cost per distance travelled and
in wages paid to men getting to
fires in much less. The time-sav-
ing is self evident; trips which ord
inarily require two days time by
team have been made by automo-

4 GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR

With the exception, of the fall Oh
Tsing-Tau, in China, the most Sig
nifcant report from any of the baltic
fronts AMI the most welcome from
the allies point Of view, is that the
Russian armies, besides driving the
Austrians back into Galicla nave
reached the Warthe river, in Russian
Poland, and established themselves
OF the East Prussian frontier. A Ber-
lin official report admits that some
Russian cavalry crossed the WARTIME
river.
IN the west the same ding-dong
fighting which has been going on for
months continues. Belgians who hold
the lines along the coast are being
SVEN a comparative rest after their
three months of almost continuous

COL DS
Anup.to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
so years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms !;
rooms that have direct draughts !;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; Offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent,
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
For several years I have been
troubled with colds at each change

not been troubled with the slightest

It seems 10 us unfortunate that
Leo" in urging his claims and
emphasizing the importance of the
Two cross mountain roads at bolar.
should take occasion to place blame
tn the selhshness of other sections,
particularly the much abused coun-
1y-seat. We have heard these pro-
posed roads discussed, pro and con,
but have heard no one opposing
the building CT them on any ground
other than logical, viewed from a
uountv standpoint. There are
some who honestly hold that these
roads would be very expensive,
that their proposed locations are
too near the Bath line. and that
they are not of first importance In
view of the county's limited road
fund.
AS we have been led to view it,
these are merely differences Of opin-
ion, and free from the seliishness
or bias charged by the writer.
The statement that the roads
near by the county seat have got
ten the lions share of public funds
is not borne out by the facts.
Good made the country and
man made the town" God made
all of us, LEO" the one for the
other, the two inseparable. 1t Is
the county's town-her little capt.
tal-and the prosperity, growth
and general appearanceof the town
are an index to such things in the
county. There ought not to be
any rivalry between town and
county even the extreme "edges'
and we don't believe there is
anv worth while.
