NOT A SQUARE DEAL.

A retired farmer of southern Ne.
braska moved into village to spend
the latter days of his life. Soon after
he was solicited to sign a petition for
a man who wanted to open n saloon.
He refused to sign, and, when asked
for his reason replied that the town
did not treat the saloonkeeper fairly.
The applicant for license had
heard many other reasons, but never
having heard that one, he asked the
man to explain.
The explanation was like this: "YoL
want to start your saloon for the
benefit of the town, don't you?" "Yes,"
replied the wOuld-be saloonkeeper.
"You think 1t will bring trade TO the
town and improve business, don't
you?" "Yes," said the man who want.
ed the license. "Well." said the farm
er, ''if your saloon will help the town,
draw trade, and improve business,
they ought to give you bounty in.
stead Of making you pay high price
for the privilege of starting a saloon"

LISTEN TO COMMON SENSE.

Does not common sense show you
that you would be better off to buy the
liquor and not drink It, than you
would to buy the liquor and drink It?
If you buy the liquor and don't drink
1t, the liquor man has the money, and
you pay the license just the same and
you have lost nothing except the money
you have paid out for the liquor. 1t Is
true the money is gone and the liquor
is gone but IL you buy the liquor and
drink 1t, the money Is gone, the liquor
is gone, and the man is gone; hence,
common sense says the liquor traffic
doesn't pay anybody except a few men
who sell 1t. But how long shall thou
sands of people be made enormously
poor in order that small preferred
class, who are doing absolutely moth
ing for the welfare of humanity, may
be made enormously rich?-Mary Har-
ris Armor.

Those people whose curiosity leads
them to study the many badges Of
rank which now decorate the sleeves
Of officers and men Of the allied armies
have been puzzled by the appearance
Of new badge In the French army.
French soldiers on leave In England
may be seen wearing narrow stripes on
the arm above the elbow and ordinary
people have been unable to understand
why some of the rank and file have
been able to sport even more of these
decorations than officers of high rank.
The explanation is simple. Every stripe
means wounded once. The French
government has inaugurated a scheme
by which every soldier is entitled to
wear one for every time he has been
wounded.
Some men have already won several
such stripes and the other day one
man In London was the proud wearer
Of nine.

MOVIE "SUPERS" IN PROTEST
Duties and Responsibilities

The "supers" of the moving pictures
to the number of ten thousand have
appealed to the American Federation
Of Labor to help them. The days
when in the Legitimate" they could get
several dollars a night for looking the

Of exposure to bumps and thumps and

public Is no longer satisfied to let a
dummy fall from a cliff or jump from

callings that put little or no premium
on mentality. Bruises, spralns and

have a lessened market value since
they have become part Of the accept

TRAINING AND DRINKING.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root DR.. Kllmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount OF work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys TO do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you tht your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. IL
is DR.. Kilmers prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

Swat the Chinner-

Touch each chigger bite with brush
that has been dipped in iodine or apply
strong solutions of ammonia or COM

begun. The better plan, of course,
Is to prevent the chigger from getting
foothold at all. This may be done
in number OF ways. A bath in hot
water with strong soap is very good
If taken Immediately after passing
through the shrubbery and weeds from
which the chiggers are picked up, but

One more Of the new blouses adds
TO their persistent assurance that
styles are little changed from those Of
the past summer High collars were
promised with the incoming of autumn
but they have been neglected. There
are only a few Of them as compared
to the unendlng procession of models

whose necks are thin manage to wear
the open-throated styles by using high
chemisettes under them. These are

Nothing that we buy ready made Of
fers us quite so wide range of choice
In styles as the practical long coats
for daily wear. But this variety Is
more matter of details in finishing
than variation in outline. Long,
straight coats of ample width, high col
lars, big cuffs and rather narrow belts
may be looked for and found in the
output of nearly every manufacturer,
so that the style is established. Also
coats are long enough to cover the
dress or to come within a few inches
of II.
The two coats shown in the picture
illustrate the similarity in outline and
the variation in materials and in the
details of finishing that make so much
latitude in choice. The coat at the left
is made of plush, and there are others

more used for blouses than any other
materials. But the selection is varied
by blouses of novelty silk laces and
net. Crepe de chine is used for many
tailored models. They are plain only
by comparison, and far from severe.

so large as those of dressler designs.

In recent displays. 1t is effective In

LIQUID BREAD"

This true story about the "harm-
lessness" Of beer is told by the Tenn
perance society of the Methodist
Episcopal church:
"S0me time ago an advertisement
asserting that beer is liquid bread
and Temperance drink fell under
the eye of man who had never taken
drink In his life. He was a me
chanic, making good wages. He had
wife and two children, owned his
home, and was In every sense of the
word a man of strong character and
Of worth to his country.
"The liquid bread Temperance
drink converted him to the use
Of beer. In time he introduced 1t into
his home.
"Some months later he returned
home after an absence Of three days.
When he entered the house he was
'beer-drunk'-soggy, stupid, brutal with
the brutality that delights In pervert-
ed forms Of cruelty.
"When he entered the living room
something angered him. 1t may have
been the reproach he read in his wife's
face. He knocked her down, went on
into the bed room where he found
his two children asleep cut their
throats, and when his wife, hav-
ing recovered, entered the door and
screamed, knocked her down again and
crushed her skull, literally kicking out
her brains.
"This man declared that he had
never tasted anything but beer In his
life. There is no reason to disbelleve
him."

UNFAIR TO FARMER.

MY ideas on the tax question have
changed" says a prominent farmer.
II used to think saloons paid taxes.
They simply collect them, and give
worse than nothing in return. The
license money that some nearslghted
folks think is such big thing, comes
out Of their customers, every dollar Of
1t. And then we sober, Woodworking
farmers have to pay more taxes to
keep up expenses Of courts, prisons,
asylums, poor houses and jails than
all the other taxpayers of the country
put together"

Big Demand for Pneumatic Tires.

How many people realize the sensa-
tional development that the pneumatic
tire business has experienced? The
first company to undertake the manu-
facture Of pneumatic tires was the
Dunlop Company organized at Dub
lin, Ireland, in 1889, with n capital OF
about $4,000 to make tires for biey-
cles, and It rapidly grew to be great
business. Then came the automobile
to add its demands, and today, only
twenty-seven years later, the pneu-
matte tire business of the world is estl.
mated at the enormous sum Of $780,

unearned Increment Measured in crop

The average value of farm land
throughout the United States in 1910,
aside from buildings, was $32.49 an
acre, according to the census. In 1916,
according to the department of agricul-
ture, this value had grown to $45.50,
an increase of 40 per cent. Since the
total value Of farm lands, aside from
buildings, was returned in 1910 rs
$2S,4T5,000000, the total increment
since then must be more than eleven
billions.

Meat More Heatlno Than SUGAR.

Recent experiments at Bellevue hos
pital, New York, show that $50 calorles
Of dextrose, or 260 calories of protein,
increase the heat production of the
body 10 per cent during a period Of
three to six hours. In fact, they show
the stimulating effect Of protein upon
tissue activity to be three times as
great as that of sugar. These observa-
tions confirm the experience long ago
noted by thinking people that meat is
a heating food. Under the influence
of the stimulating effects Of meat the
tissues eXpend in its digestion more
energy than they receive from 1t.

Crooks Preparing to Print
 $1,000,O0O in Fake Bills

New York, Aug. 17.-Equipment said to have been intended to manu- facture s1,0O0,OOO worth of counter felt silver certificates and United States treasury notes was seized yes- terday by Chief William J. Flynn of the government secret service and a squad of his men in a cottage at Grant City, Staten Island. The raid followed the receipt of information by Chief Flynn that a band of Italians had entered into a conspiracy with twenty middleme en to manufacture and distribute the spurious bills
 Seven Italians alleged to have been parties to the conspiracy, were ar rested with two other Italians, who were accused of operating an illegal wine and liquor blending plant at 443 East Ninth street Manhattan, in con nection with the counterfeiting estab- ishment.
 The equipment taken by the secret service men was found in a cotta ge occupied by Antonio Monteforti, an expert phcto-engraver and etcher, who is alleged to be the leader of the band MOnteforti lived in a deta hel house on Washington avenue, Grant City, and the equipment taken in the raid included expensive photographic apparatus, universal and Photographic presses, paper and colored inks cleo trotyping and etching tools and other supplies said to be necessary for the production of counterfeit bills.
 Monteforti and another Italian, Lu- tgi Barcatto were said to be working on the counterfeit plates when the se- cr'et service men forced their way into the cottage. The two men were ar-
