MANY RUINED LIVES

Hundreds can point to the use Of
ca!omel as the cause of physical de-
cay. It's strenuous effects upon liver,
kidneys and even the heart are
known to every practicing physician.
Medical science has found a vege-
table compound that eliminates the
poisons from the liver and accumu-
lations from the bowels in a safer
and saner way than does calomel and
leaves no i'll after-effects.
This remedy in the form Of GRIGS-
BY'S LIV-VER-LAX is a proven sue
cess. 1t is for sale in soc. and 81

The Russian official announce
ments admit none of this. They
dismiss the happenings in Galicia as
engagements Of no Importance, and
class the operations to the west of
Warsaw in the same category. 1t is
claimed, however, that the extreme
Russian right near Mlawa has thrust
the Germans back and that Russian
cavalry has swung across the south
ern border of East Prussia.

London, Dec. 1S.-An Amsterdam

The retreating cruisers were at
tackled by four British destroyers
one Of which was sunk. Another
disappeared badly damaged.

Paris, Dec. 1S.-In a dispatch
from Nish, Seryia, the Havas CORES

have re-established themselves in the
vicinity Of Podrinie, where the Aus
trian troops surrendered to them.
Prisoners affirm that the Austrian
losses in the recent engagements in
Killed and wounded have been very
large and they exceed the losses in

SHIP NEARLY STRUCK A NINE,
Cunard Liner Had Close Call of the
North Coast of Ireland.

New York, Dec. 16.-The big Gu
narder pennsylvania, in to-day from
Liverpool with 366 passengers, had a
narrow escape from destruction.
Early December 6, when, during a
storm off the north coast Of Ireland
two mines, dashed together by waves,
exploded about 25 feet ahead of the
steamers bow.
A fragment of steel from one of
the mines shot across the liners deck
and tore away part Of the railing.
The explosion, it was said, lifted
the liners bow several feet out of
water The Pennsylvania left Liv-
erpool December 5, and a few min-
utes after O'Clock the next morning
terrific explosion shook the ship.
The passengers rushed on deck.
Officers told them what they had
heard was thunderclap. Then the
passengers noticed the space torn
out of the deck railing and one of
them picked up a fragment Of the
mine.
Among the passengers was Sir
Chas. Allom, chairman Of the British
prisoners-of-war help committee. He
said he came to the country to have
a committee OF Americans and neu-
trails appointed to investigate condi-
tions Of the allies soldiers in Ger
man detention camps and military
prisons. The committee, he said,
proposed that remedial measures
should be taken.

WHY IS IT?

Why is it, it is often asked, that
people in small towns can find
no better business than pryiny
into other peoples business. and
then exa2 gerating the truth in
regard to the same. People who
pretend to be Christians. who at
tend church regularly, who, in
the sight Of their neighbors are
generous and charitable, yet who,
without the slightest provocation,
pick up some little mistake, or
more often, at nothing, will 50
scandalize one as to ruin his or
her reputation for life. While
they would not steal from them
worldly goods, yet they rob him
or her Of what is more precious
than igold-a good reputation.
Why can't people practice the
christianity that they preach and
do unto others as you would
have them do rnto your
Avoyelles Enterprise.

WHAT $40 WILL DO.

A sort Of paradox is the fact
that thousands of people who
make no effort to save dollar
when times are highly prosperous
will develop and practice econo-
my when work and opportunity
are less plentiful. The best way,
OF course, to try and save at
least a lite all the time, putting
by larger amount when earn
ings are at their height. AS a
nation we are not taught that
economy which makes France the
banker Of the world, and whose
accumulations come not from
vast exports Of natural resources,
but from the combined small saw
ings, consistently continued year
after year, by the French people
as a whole.
If the people Of this country
would save during the year 1915
an average Of $40 per capita, the
grand total at the end of the first
twelve months would be the ma :
nificent sum of One Billion Dol
lars.
The French save, partly be-
cause it has become hereditary,
and chiefly because the children
are brought up that way and are
taught the dignity of accumula-
ton. We. on the contrary, in a
spirit of false pride, are inclined
to scorn the necessity of saving
as though it were something of
which to be ashamed. If our
present experiences shall teach US
thrift, it will be a strengthening
Of a great national weakness
