SGOD KEEP AND GUIDE YOU, SOL
DIERS OF THE NATIONAL ARMY.


TO the Soldiers of the National Army:
You are undertaking great duty.
The heart Of the whole country Is
with you. Everything that you do
will be watched with the deepest in
terest and with the deepest solicitude
not only by those who are near and
dear to you, but by the whole Nation
besides. For this great war draws us
all together, makes us all comrades
and brothers, as all true Americans
felt themselves to be when We first
made good our national independence.
The eyes of the world will be upon
you, because you are in some spec
ial sense the soldiers of freedom.
Let it be your pride, therefore, to
show all men everywhere not only
what good soldiers you are, keeping
yourselves fit and straight in every
thing, and pure and clean through and
through. Let us set for ourselves
standard so high that it will be
glory to live up to it and add a new
laurel to the crown of America. My
affectionate confidence goes with you
in every battle and every test. God
keep and guide you!

How to Preserve Meat When Hunting
10 Told by 4 Hunter.

We cut plenty Of meat fIom both the
sheep and were busy most Of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat The sheep and bear skins
had to be scraped, the fat carefully
removed, the skin stretched out to dry
Fortunately the weather was clear and
the sun hot. so that the drying was
quickly and well done. We cut great
deal of both sheep and bear meat into
strips and hung it on rack that we
rugged near the fire, where it would
catch the sun and also receive artificial
heat as well. Meat dried in this way
will last indefinitely, and, though the
favor is not much to boast of, the
meat is nourishing and goes well in
"mulligans" and similar connections.
For my people at home I also dried
few pounds of both sheep and bear
meat according to DR.. Hornaday's rec
ipe-that is, first rubbed on the raw
meat a mixture of black pepper, all
spice and salt. after which l dried the
strips in the sun.-Paul l.. Haworth In

AUTO NOTES..
How the Autoist Should Care For
Rubber Tubes.

Rubber Tubes.
It is difficult sometimes to determine
Just when a tube Is unfit for further
use Porosity In a tube usually tndi-
Gates that it has attained its three
score and ten. At this stage very
small cracks can be observed in the
rubber if it is stretched and examined
carefully. The next development Is
splitting when the air pressure be-
comes too great for the tube to bear.
II the rubber in a tube is live" it
may successfully bear as many patches
as beggar's coat. But due care must
be exercised in the vulcaniZatiOn Of
the patch to the tube that too la:re
portion of the tube around IL" pA."h
is not cured. If portions o. '"' TIVE
have been overcured in pat"h!n:: uner-
atoms disaster is sure to follow.
Lack of proper care Of -" tuhe is
responsible for most OF tac troubles
tire users experience. Sufficient tale
between casing and tube prevents the
generation of heat, which vulcanizes
the tube to the fabric of the casing.
Tube splitting is occasiOned by the
slipping of the tube between the casing
and the rim, which soon results in a
pinch" The remedy is careful apply
Ing
. The protection Of spare tubes Is
matter that many tire users pass over
too lightly. Usually spare tubes are
folded and carried in the tool box,
where they may come in contact with
grease, oil and tools.
The grease and oil greatly impair the
quality of the rubber, while the tools
many times cause the tubes to become
chafed and worn and unfit for use.

While the German government was

THE WAR AND PROHIBITION.

NSASSNo~~'y
We address ourselves the question,
rs there trade that can hold it's own
against nation fighting for its life?"
The present attitude of the liquor in
terests brings out their failures to be
patriotic While all other enterprises
are sacrificing to save our country,
the makers of strong drink are given a
special protection and continuance OF
their business. While homes give their
sons distilling firm would not let its
men go to the war, though they wished
to volunteer While we are asked to
save every slice of bread, the beer
makers hurry to get every shovel-full
of grain decayed and wasted, and de-
lay the food control bill. There is a
patriotic appeal that fair minded ,citi-
zens heed, but of which the brewerie's
greed seems ignorant
Secondly, the War and Prohibition
is making plain the principles Of many
prominent men. Gen. Pershing urges
high moral standard, and so do
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George. Major Gen. John F. Organ,
commander of the New York state mi
litia, has ordered that no officer or
private while in uniform should smoke
in public; and he further says that
"alcohol, whether you call it beer,
wine, whiskey or by any other name,
is breeder of inefficiency."
Again the war is bringing all tenn
perance organizations to meet the
crisis. There is the UNITED Com
mittee on War Temperance Activities
in the Army and Navy" which includes
the w. c. T. u, anti-saloon league,
church temperance boards, young peo-
pies societies, college prohibition as
sociations, Flying Squadron, and 9TH
ers.
Lastly, the war is looking toward
international prohibition. CANADIAN
and Australian men have come in pro-
hibition ships to help Great Britain
win, and have asked that no strong
drink be placed in their way-one pc
tition being signed by 10000 women in
Ontario. But the British government
denied this desire and has. allowed the
drink to be all the way from the
camps to the trenches. So forcibly
have drinks evils in Great Britain
been set forth by Mr.. Arthur Nee and
J. S. Holden, that the government pro-
hibited their book, Defeat or Vic
tory" being circulated after the first
edition Of 100000 copies was sold in
20 days. us there trade that can
hold its own against a nation fight

TIRE TROUBLE.
Why Careful Driving Means Less Ex.
pense and Fewer Bowouts.

Why Careful Driving Means Less Ex-
pense and Fewer BIowouts.
The automobile owner should realize
that a vast proportion Of tire break
downs may be avoided by careful driv-
ing. Frequently Il stone bruise In the
tire could have been avoided if the
driver had taken the trouble to swing
his wheel a little to avoid contact with
the obstruction Cuts from glass or
metal objects may be largely avoided
If the driver pays strict attention to
what he is doing The man who takes
a railway track head-On and at speed
runs the risk Of shooting his front
wheels up in the air and bringing the
tires down with thud on the far rails,
thus causing Druise that may result
In a blowout later on.
The first thing necessary to be I'm
pressed on the average driver Is that
he himself is the final court In decid-
ing Just what mileage he is to get from
his castings If he will only drive care
fully most Of his troubles will be cured
before they occur. Whenever a casing
comes in violent contact with sharp
object of any sort, whether 1T is stone
or a railway track, small break will
probably be made in one Of the layers
of fabric. The friction engendered In
service widens this small opening as
strand after strand gives way under
the strain Finally the inner tube
forces its way into the break, and
sooner or later the opening closes down
on the tube, pinching it and causing
a blowout Of the inner retainer. The
air, at pressure Of between eighty or
ninety pounds. bursts its way through
the injured place, tearing the small
rupture wide open in a gaping blow
out. And all because the driver failed
to twist the wheel little to avoid a
chance flung stone In the road or re-
fused to pull up little to take rail-
way crossing diagonally and easily.

RUSSIA IN THE THROES OF CIVIL
WAR

America has her La Follettes and
Russia her Korniloffs. 1t would be
fortunate for Russia if her Korniloffs
were as few in number as this coun-
try's La Follettes. But such is not
the case. The enemies of the Russian
government are legion. They have so
unnerved and disorganized the Rus
sian army that large section of it is
now marching away from the Germans
to attack the loyal troops in the Capt.
tai of their country. An account of
the disorder in Russia can be found
on another page of this paper.

Why Your Nerve Cells Get Frazzlsd by
NjohtfalI.

We hear much about nerves these
days. One is nervous, another's nerves
are ION edge" and third ones nerves
are "worn to a FRAGILE" Examined
microscopically, nerves, when well nour-
ished, have tiny food granules in their
cells. From these little food granules
the nerves derive their strength. When
through exertion the granules are used
up the nerves appear shrunken and ir-
regular In outline. They need food.
oxygen and rest to fill them up again.
The nerve cells Of bees were tested
as an experiment. In the morning, be-
fore they began their daily work Of
gathering honey, they were large and
full with many little food granules. In
the afternoon, after busy morning,
they were smaller, irregular Of out
line, and here and there were tiny holes
where food granules had been used up.

where the. armed enemies OF our coun-
try can be found and fought and where
our swn territory can be best defend
ed.
we condemn all attempts in Con-
gress and out of it to hinder and en-
barrass the Government of the United
States in carrying on the war with
vigor and effectiveness.
Under whatever cover Of pacifism
or teehnicality such attempts are
made, we deem them to be in spirit

Expert Advice on Food Gardens
Daily Yards Profitable.

Depth of planting also depends some
what upon the kind Of soil. If it is
heavy clay or soil that is continually
moist the planting should be shallower
than in sandy or dry soil. However, il is
important you plant all seeds of the
same kind in the same row at the same
depth. This gives uniformity of growth.
Unless the soil is wet the beds should
be firmed down on top before the rows
are marked off. Fine raking will do this
especially if you finish the job by
smoothing the surface with the back Of
the rake. When seeds are in, the soil
should be firmed over them by pressing
down the row with smooth board. New.
er pack the soil hard.
These directions apply to seeds in or
binary soils: String beans, l to

inch; carrot, half inch; Swiss chard
half inch; corn, one inch; cucumbers
