Wars Effect on France.

In some places in France the church
bell, the timekeeper of the village. no
longer rings the Angelus, booming
out liberation from work, nor does 1t
ring for mass or vespers. In the
church high mass is no longer sung.
the organ is silent; in some churches
there is no priest at all. The bell
ringers. the choir, the priests, all have
gone to the war. And on the Grande
place the little cafes, so busy and so
gay on Sunday or on market day
they are all closed! The black-clad
men, the black-veiled women, pass by;
no one enters. No one has the heart
and much less the money to go to the
cafe, for everyone has someone. some
where, getting half-penny day. I'll
faut bien lui envoyer tout ce que
Pon a." And mothers and wives deny
themselves everything, starve them
selves, even, to send all they have to
their soldier man.

A Vigorous Pioneer

Arbela was visited last week by
Samuel Nelson, of Elk, brother of the
late Silas Nelson, of Birch Run, man
remarkable in many respects for one of
his years. Born in New York state in
1928, he came to Michigan in 1856 and
settled in Genesee county, serving his
country in the late Civil war. At the
age of 81 his hearing is good and also
his eyesight, not ever having found any
glasses he could wear. For 40 years
he has been temperance man, having
drank neither cider, beer nor whiskey
in all these years. He also abstains
from the use of tocacco, and is able to
go about equal to a man of fewer
years. 1t was said to him he should
get an auto, he replied he thought so
for horse was getting pretty slow for
him. NV

patriotic celebration in the town where
he resided was the figure of the old
hero marching and carrying the mus
ket with which he had fought the Brit
ish. An instance of the ingratitude of
our government is found in the fact
that it did not grant the old gentleman
a pension until short time prior to his
death, so that he never received any
benefit from it. Mr.. Jones would have
greatly enjoyed being present on the
occasion of the unwilling of the tablet
but other engagements made it impos-
sible.

FINANCIAL CENTER OF WORLD
All international Exchanges
Clear Through New York.

1t Is the announced purpose Of one
Of the great trust companies Of New
York to sell travellers letters Of credit
figured in dollars instead of pounds
sterling. They will be cashable at
established banking agencies abroad
at fixed rates between the dollar and
the money of the visited country. The
expenditure will be collected through
dollar drafts drawn on and cleared in
New York, instead of through sterling
drafts drawn on and cleared in Lon
don.
AS a symptom of broad tendencies
in world finance induced by the war,
this is important The American dol
lar Is now at a substantial premium
in practically all of the international
exchanges. 1t is preferred above any
other money in settlement Of interna-
tional transactions, as 1t is more ef-
fective than any other money for
these purposes. Every foreign nation,
whether at war or neutral, would
rather have a credit account here than
anywhere else.
The financial center Of the world Is
now admittedly in New York. VIII
1t remain here after the war? Our
travellers abroad in peace times spend
yearly $150,000,000 or more. If this
great credit sum were hereafter to be
cashed abroad in terms Of dollars
and cleared and collected through
New York instead Of London, an
agency of no small effect would be set
in action to hold here the financial ad-
vantage which the stress Of war has
forced Europe to surrender for the
time being-New York World.

LUCK FOUND IN H0RsEsH0Es
Originally Intended az Happy En-
biems for Soldiers and sailors-
Still Retains Popularity.

Horseshoes are supposed to bring
good luck to the finder. but originally
they were intended as lucky emblems
for soldiers and sailors.
The horseshoe became a military
mascot In the Thirteenth century. A
shoe cast by an English baron's war
horse was carefully priced as luck
bringing emblem. He said 1t would
carry him safely through any war in
which he might engage, and secure
him victory In tits and tournaments.
The baron established great name as
a fighter and he vanquished many foes
without sustaining any serious injury,
SO the horseshoe Immediately became
popular mascot among military men.
Henry ii was firm believer in the
horseshoe as a lucky emblem, and he
presented a gilded horseshoe to many
Of his regiments. When the monarch
presented the barony of Oakham to
Walchelin de Ferreis, the new lord, to
please the royal donor, demanded of
every other baron who passed through
Oakham shoe from the horse actually
Tluucu ny ulIu. lOudy OdhudIu udll Gull
tains something like 200 shoes, dating
from that time till 1895. Amongst
them is one from Queen Elizabeth, one
from Queen Victoria, one from Queen
Alexandra, and another from the late
King Edward.
In the present war the horseshoe
still retains its popularity as mascot
amongst soldiers, and the cast-off
shoes Of horses are solemnly nailed
on tent poles. on the side of wagons,
or tied to gun carriages. A recent pho
tograph of the crown prince of Ger
many revealed the fact that he has a
horseshoe attached to the side of his
field motor car.
Sailors cherish horseshoes as luck
bringers, and before the days of dread
naughts 1t was Jacks practice to nail
horseshoe upside down on the mast
Of his ship. Nelson nailed horseshoe
with the points upward on the mast
Of the Victory before he took the ship
into action at Trafalgar

KIDNEY DISORDERS
QUICKLY RELIEVED

Hundreds of people have been re.
lieved of the agonies caused by weak,
diseased or clogged-up kidneys by
using Solvax, the new remedy that
quickly reaches the source of all kid
ney complaints.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides or have any signs Of
kidney or bladder trouble such as
rheumatic pains. puffy swellings UNI
der the eyes or in the feet and ankles,
il you are nervous, tired and run
down, or bothered with urinary dis
orders, Solvax will quickly and surely
relieve you of your misery.
Solvax Is the most potent remedy
yet devised for Kidding the system OF
uric acid and driving out all the pois-
onous impurities which cause such
troubles. 1t neutralizes, dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out all the
uric acid and poisons left by the
blood, and renders the kidneys and
urinary organs clean, vigorous and
healthy.
Wilkinson & Co.. the popular drug
gists. say that no medicine ought to
be paid for unless it does the user
some good. Wilkinson & Co. there
fore sell Solvax under positive
guarantee to quickly relieve the worst
cases of kidney trouble or refund the
money. Try Solvax today and IL you
cannot see and feel a decided change
for the better just go to Wilkinson &
Co. and tell them you want your
money back and they will return it
without question. This is the strong
est argument that can be offered in
behalf of any medicine
