dreaded affection depend largely on
your ability to restore normal BODY

To do this. one requirement is proper
attention to diet and pure food. Also
rest and fresh air, day and night.
Where the system is run down and
likelihood of serious consequences
thus increased, Eckman's Alternative

many cases.
This is a lime treatment-but un-
like any other. For here the lime

Hotel Rescued by Joseph McGrath.

Joseph McGrath, a porter at the
Pine Grove Springs hotel, made a he
role rescue Tuesday morning by pull
ing Michalis Marygolis, an italian
chef, from Spofford lake.
Marygolis had never attempted to
swim in fresh water but Tuesday
went to the float and jumped off the
springboard into 80 feet of water.
His bathing trunks in some manner
slipped down and tangled his feet so
he could not swim. McGrath, who was
some distance away, saw Marygolis
struggling in the water and hurried
to him.
McGrath was greatly impeded by
his clothes and by being grasped by
the man he was trying to save. Being
an expert swimmer he was able finally
to pull his man to the shore.

Their mother promptly them school The teacher turned them out again aud little later the state commissioner of schools up held her It was mmodest he said boys go with out collars The that girls did had nothing to do with the matter

PLANS FOR FUTURE

BERLIN-Plans are under way in Prussia for the establishment in every province of funds from which return ing soldiers, both during and after the war, may borrow at low rate of in terest in order to re-establish them selves in business. No one will be ex- cluded from borrowing, but the plans have been drawn up with small mer- chants and tradesmen primarily in view.
 The ministers of trade and industry of finance and of the interior, after careful consideration of the situation, and after urgent representations by General von Hindenburg, have called the attention of the presidents of all the provinces and other authorities to the need of such funds and have ex- pressed their willingness to do all they can to aid
 General von Hindenburg has urged the matter especially because he feels that such borrowing institutions would QO HlutH lO Hldht SOlulCio ltNA hiOAN secure, and would relieve many of the worry about what they and their fami- lies are to do in the future without any capital with which 10 start business anew. The money, it is proposed, will be supplied in part by the provinces and in part by the monarchy of Prus- sia. It is probable that the Prussian Diet which opened on. January 1S, will before it's conclusion. be asked to con slider the proposition and vote the nee essary money.
 The loans will be made at some low rate of interest and will be repayable on easy terms. The provinces will re- pay to the state on the same basis. but ] the ministers announce that they are willing that 15 per cent of the states money shall be held by the provincial authorities for the continuation of the loans. Representatives of chambers of commerce and similar business or ganizations in the various districts shall be called upon to aid the authori- ties in the provinces in determining who shall be eligible for loans.

BLUE LAWS FOR coReLERs.

 patr of Greater Ne wYork. Sunday before last police found him working in hi slittle shop, and arrested him breaking the law prohibiting Sunday work The cobber protested that he didn't any tng about ithat he wasn't working money, anyhow but merely mending his shoes. But the relentless magistrate fined him s1O, declaring You have more right to mend your shoes Sunday than have to build may house the Sabbath"
 In most parts of the country have got away from the old blue laws" and put liberal, humane construction the duty of Sunday observance accept ing the Scriptural that Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath
 Certainly communities in America would forbid mend hi shoes Sunday those that do certainly inconsistent if they do forbid dressmaker to button her waist or a mil liner to put ribbon her hat a carpenter to nail shingle his leaky roof or housekeeper to wipe the dust off her piano.
 An odd thing about this New York is that if Mike MOrano had been salOonkeeper instead of shoemaker he would probably permitted to ply his voca tion on Sunday without intolerance.

 The latter have won the warm ap- proval of the authorities by their al most universal willingness to proceed the province, and it's restocking with cattle, before they attack the problem of perlhanent homes for themselves. They may come later.
 To meet the lack of farm animals with which to carry out this agricul- tural rehabilitation, oxen have been imported and captured Russian horses not available for military uses, and German military horses unfit for furth- CT service, are being used. Particu- larly are efforts being made to re- store the thoroughbred horse breeding industry to it's former high standard.

HEAVEN
By J. O'C.

We know that Heaven is a place to which each single man of grace thro' life desires to turn his face ard hopes to en- ter there, to find an end to grief and pain and bid goodbye to loss and gain and sorrows thick as autumn rain and worldly strife and care. Some say the spirits there have wings and each one as an angel sings, but there are certain little things my soul would satisfy, trust in Heaven there is a dearth of things that happen here on earth whose lack will really make it worth our while to fade and die. Let's hope we'll never meet on high the folk who raise a hue and cry whene'er our failings they descry and publish all our faults, who rush around like startled ants and scream and shout and prate and prance if we should venture out to dance the foX-trot or the waltz. Let's hope to Heaven there never goes the girl who elevates her nose when mother starts to wash the clothes or bake loaf, or stew, and let us pray we will not meet the idiot who haunts the street and asks us in the summer heat, Well, hot enough for you?" Let's hope in lands beyond the sun to find no single tailor's dun, that men who slap your back in fun in Heaven are not the vogue, and O let's pray 'tis not our fate to meet inside the Pearly Gate the wretch who tries to initiate the real Irish brogue.
