Miners Have Pigeon Clubs.

Like their colleagues in the Welsh
valleys, the coal miners of Liege and
Seraing love their pigeons, to the det-
riment very often of their punctuality
on Mondays. In the attics or lumber
rooms of hundreds OF the miners
houses you will find pigeon cote, and
almost every week end races are or
ganized by the pigeon flyers clubs,
with the accompaniment of much bet
ting. The pigeons are timed to reach
home on Sunday mornings, and the
clubs meet in the afternoon or eve

Husband and Wife Both
Saved From Suffering

I wish to tell you the good results my
self and husband received from DR.. XII
mer's Swamp-Root. About eleven years
ago | had a severe attack Of La Grippe
and was confined to my bed about eight
weeks under the doctors care. He pro-
nounced my case kidney trouble and rheu-
.natism and not receiving the results from
the doctors treatment ! should have re-
ceived ! decided to try Swamp-Root. Aft
er taking several bottles Of Swamp Root /
was able to get up and attend to my work.
About a year later my husband was af-
fected with a severe attack Of kidney trou-
bic and doctored for some time with the
doctors and received no benefit Knowing
of the good | had received, he decided to
try Swamp Root His condition was such
that he was confined to his bed and words
cannot tell how he suffered but after tax
ing Swamp-Root he was relieved so he
could 90 on with his work without pain.
| wish to heartily recommend Swamp Root
to all persons afflicted with kidney and
bladder troubles and you may publish this
letter if you wish.

RAT WENT. THROUGH THE WAR
Unusual Pet Was in Soldiers Pocket
During Hot Fights in
Flanders.

London.-Perhaps the only rat on
record that ever went through mill
tary campaign, ensconced snugly in
its soldier owners pocket, at the bat
tie of Mons, the Marne and the Aisne,
is now in London in the possession of
Sergeant Johnson of the Royal 4ield
artillery. Johnson was wounded at
scissors and is on a few days leave.
Billy" as Johnson calls his rat,
though the latter is lady, is pure
white, and was given to the English
soldier by French girl at the begin
ming of the war During the battle of
Mons, the rat sat On her masters
right boot. Twice she wandered away,
but came back all right and was in
the fighting all the way from Mons to
Melun, southeast CT Paris, and back
to the Marne and the Aisne. Billy
was in Sergeant Johnson's pocket all
the time and was never hurt When
the soldier landed at Southampton,
after he had been. wounded by shrap-
mel, lady who saw the white rat,
presented to Johnson black terrier
pup named Tpby to keep Billy COM
pany. The rat and the pup are now
close friends.

Washington, D. C.-Europe's war Is
converting hundreds Of men into raw
ing maniacs, according to Maj. ]. ].
Dickinson of the state department,
who recently saw fighting in the
trenches near scissors.
They don't fire at each other he
said, "but the din of artillery directed
at the covered trenches is positively
maddening. Now and then l saw men
jump out of the trenches and go at
each other with bayonets or in mad
rush for each others throats.
From my position from trenches a
little behind the actual firing line
saw hundreds of men brought back.
They did not seem to be wounded.
They were screaI ling, raying maniacs,
driven insane by that maddening roar
of artillery overhead"

FOOTBALL GAME HALTS WAR
British and German Soldiers Fiaht on
the Gridiron-kaiser Upsets
the Schedule.

Berlin.-A general order issued by
the German army authorities prohibits
football games in the field between
German and English soldiers.
At Christmas time men from both
sides in the western theater of war
fraternized and played hotly-contested
games of football. Officers and men
laid aside their arms and watched the
players and cheered them on.
The rivalry became so intense that
war was forgotten and the men who
kicked the most goals received more
applause than is usually given heroes
on the fighting line.
At one place where the Germans
and British played the game was a
draw and the players agreed to sus-
pend fighting for two days more in
order to decide the issue on two
games out of three.
News of this reached the military
authorities and it was decided that
football was interfering too much
with the business of warfare, aside
from the complications arising from
too friendly contact between the ad-
vance guards.
The order was issued forthwith and
there will be no more athletic con-
tests between the soldiers, who also
are forbidden to fraternize or meet on
any terms except those of bitter en-.

POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER
BY the Use Of Oxalic Acid the UtensiI
May Be Kept in the Best of
Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance of a
kitchen, as all housekeepers know
The boiler may be kept in a state of
brilliancy by the use of a solution
of oxalic acid and water Five cents
worth of the acid dissolved in a
quart of warm water viii last
through many cleaning days.
Best results are obtained by apply
ing the solution to a warm boiler.
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
cloth wrung out in warm water
and then polished with dry cloth.
The best part of the process is that
no elbow grease" is required. In a
few minutes dull, dingy boiler be-
comes bright and shining with but
little effort.
All copper articles not having a
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution, and it also serves
as brass polish.
Keep in safe place, as oxalic acid
is poison.

WAR SPATS CAUSE DIVORCE
Use of French Language Classified as
Offense-Suspects Tried by
Court Martial.

Basel, Switzerland.-Ger mar

Basel as weighing heavily" upon
their countrymen at home
They declare that the speaking of
French is classified as an offense un-
der the orders issued by the COM
manding generals of the Fourteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-first
German Army corps, who cite the
imperial laws of 1878 and 1882 to sup
port their contention. The testimony
of the children and servants is taken
as proof before court-martial of guilt
of talking French.
Personal feeling between pro-French
and pro-German Alsatians Is running
high, visiting Als:.tians declare. The
local courts have granted divorces re-
Gently to husbands and wives unable
to live harmoniously because of their
opposing national sympathies.
