LORD READING TELLS STORY
Former English College Athlete Is
Reminded of Fact That Darda-

Lord Reading said at luncheon in
New York
The allies loan promises to be as
plethoric as my friend Heron-Plume,
who recently enlisted.
"Heron-Plume had bowled for Rug
by and pulled stroke for Oxford In the
dear dead days beyond recall, but he
went out of training afterward, and
when he appeared at the club in khaki
few months ago he certainly made
an imposing figure. Chest "a inches,
you know, but little low down.
"Where are you going to fight,
Heron-Plume?' l asked, as my huge
friend sank putting into a chair and
unfastened couple of buttons at the
-er-breast of his tunic.
'Dardanelles, he answered.
But, Heron-Plume, said another
man, don't you know the Dardanelles
are frightfully narrow"

CALOMEL MAKES
YOU SICK, UGH!
"Dodson's Liver Tone" better
than calomel and can not
salivate.

Calomel loses you day You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and sickening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
for so cents large bottle of Dodson s
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is perfect
substitute for calomel. 1t is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you day s
work. Dodson s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.-Adv.

Knife the Best Weapon.

To-day the defense stands pat on
earthworks, wire and machine guns.
The attack has tried gas, petrol,
bayonets, siege artillery, field artillery,
grenades and mines, and has come
out, generally speaking, second best.
Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the re-
quisite destructive power High ex-
plosive shells in sufficient quantities
have accomplished the best offensive
work, ana the infantry is depending
more and more on a short, heavy
knife, which is the best for work
underground or in the dark. To sum
up: Killing the defenders of a posi-
ton is accomplished by shells fired at
least two miles away on the aver
age; and, secondly, by what the
French call body-to-body fighting, for
which knife is the best weapon.
The training of infantry on the con-
tinent will in the future, undoubted-
ly include the technique of hand-to-
hand struggles-for which physical
agility and strength must be devel-
oped."-New Republic.

Scientific Station In spltzberqen.

The German scientific station in
Spitzbergen, which was founded in
1911 by Professor Hergesell, and has
been constantly in operation, sum-
mer and winter, since that time,
ceased its valuable activities at the
outbreak of the European war. A
party of scientific men which had
sailed for Spitzbergen to relieve the
staff was recalled, and the party at
the station also succeeded in getting
back to Germany safely with all
their instruments and other equip
ment. This institution has carried
on extensive investigations of the up
per air with balloons, and was, in
fact, founded primarily to study the
conditions likely to be encountered
by the expedition which Count Yep
pelin proposed to take to the North
Pole In an airship.

The Defective Baby.

At time when politicians and gen.
erals have to decide almost every day
whether to purchase trench or hill
at the cost of so many human lives, the
death of a helpless baby has set
whole nation talking. This happens
to be a nation which cannot boast
that it cares supremacy about it's ba-
bies, for hundreds of thousands Of
them die every year of preventable
causes. They die of tenements which
could be ventilated, of milk that could
be kept clean, of neglect that could
be remedied. They die because their
fathers are underpaid, because their
mothers are overworked; they are run
over on city streets because there
are insufficient Fairgrounds; they are
infected by dirt diseases; they are
starved. Given a chance in life most
of them would become happy and use
full. They are refused that chance be-
cause public opinion is too indolent,
because many landlords and business
men are too greedy, because poll.
ticians are cowardly and ignorant.
Every year hordes of fine human be.
Ings are condemned to death because
1t costs too much to save them. But
the refusal to keep alive deformed

FINISH IN THE WASTEBASKET
That Receptacle the Last Resting
Place of Ideas Which Have

The wastebasket is a symbol of OBJ

There is a popular magazine of last
January. How utterly fiat and stale it
seems! The heroes and heroines that
stalk, chatter and pose through its

names Haunted on the cover have a
look of mockery. The most gripping
story ever written" has been suppressed
ed by score of others. The brilliant
comedy success" pulled by the dra-
matte critic has left the boards for
ever.
In among these "has-beens" are a
host of "might-have-beens;" inchoate
ideas, jotted down but never consum-
mated; letters that were written but
never sent; plans for homes that were

Life struooIe of the Trees.

An interesting light is thrown on
the longevity of the trees that grow
along the timber line of the Rocky
mountains by Enos A. Mills in his
recently published Rocky Mountain
Wonderland He says:
A few timber-line trees live a thou
sand years, but half this is ripe old
age for most of the timber-line vet
Grams. The age of these trees cam
not be judged by their size or by their
general appearance. There may be
centuries of difference in the ages of
two arm-in-arm trees of similar size.
l examined two trees that were grow
ing within a few yards of each other
in the shelter of a crag. One was
IA feet high and 16 inches in dame
ter, and had 337 annual rings. The
other was seven feet high and five
inches in diameter, and had lived four
hundred and ninety-two years.
One day, by the sunny and sheltered
side Of bowlder, found tiny seed
bearer at an altitude of 1880 feet.
How splendidly unconscious it was
of it's size and its utterly wild sur
roundings! This brave pine bore a
dainty cone, yet a drinking glass would
have completely housed both the tree
and its fruit.-Youth's Companion.
