WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Savings Campaign:

By John Evans, State Director War
Savings Campaign:
The National Campaign for the sale
of War-Savings Stamps has been of
ficiaily launched by the secretary of
the treasury. A successful sale will
reflect the American public's rec
ognition of the vital part that econ
omy and saving, even of the smallest
amount, will play in bringing victory
out of our war with Germany. Each
War-Savings Stamp and each Thrift
Stamp bought in the United States,
will represent more than so much
money subscribed to war loan. 1t
will symbolic money diverted from
an unnecessary source to the all i'm
portant and vitality necessary purpose
of supplying our soldiers and sailors
with material for the prosecution of
the war.
In order to adequately support the
men at the front the nation must at
once limit production for those at
home to the bare necessities for health
and efficiency, and must turn its ev-
cry energy to the production of wal
supplies. The people must stop COM
manding luXuries and comforts and
must loan to the government, that
equivalent buying power with which
to command war necessities.
Never before We're economy and
saving so necessary. A wasteful and
thriftless people cannot win a war!
Hence, until victory is obtained, the
American people must be made to see
the essential need of making sacri.
fices, however small, for the nation
The WaASavings Certificates viii
+ serve to measure those sacrifices, ever
down to twenty-five cents. No matter
what mans resources, he should
stop buying and get out of the marke,

and get what it needs for war with.

Popularity of Snapdragon.

Fashions change even in flowers. There was time when the fuchsia was all the rage. Then the dahlia had q time of immense popularity and hun dreds of new varieties were on the market Then came the turn of the chrysanthemum, but, as 1t needed a house and lot of attention it was soon left to the specialist, like the or chid Then came the great sweet pea boom. Anybody who had a garden at all filled it with sweet peas and new varieties were called after every im- aginable person of note on earth. Now there is a new star-the snapdragon. People used rather to despise this flower. But, lo! the expert had taken notice of it and 1t has suddenly be- come the rage.

Making Pillow Cases.

Anyone who has any spare time can devote It pleasantly and usefully by making pillow cases. They can be made much cheaper than bought and with little or no trouble. You can buy pillow tubing for 25 cents a yard. Two yards will make pair. Draw very evenly two rows of shallow seal lops around the opening. Be careful that you measure them evenly so that you will not have uneven scallops at the ends. This done, crochet double edging without hemming the case. For 8 cents you can make handsome pair of pillow cases. If desired one or more initials could be embroidered in
 the center above the crocheted edge.

For months Newark readers have seen the constant expres- sion of praise for Doan's Kid ney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. What other reme- dy ever produced such conyinc- ing proof of merit?
 John Edwards, Hoxie, Ark, says: T had a dull, heavy ache in my back and any eXertion or a cold made it worse. My kidneys acted too frequently and the kidney secretions pain ed when passing. Then Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice, l got some and one box made me feel much better. After 1 had taken three boxes, not a sign of kidney trouble remained. The cure they gave me has lasted"

WIFE WENT SHOPPING
She Didn't Invest Any Money, but She Got a Lot of Ideas Out of
 Her Trip.

We'll, sine is about ready t0 start to work on her new suit and new hat. She has everything now except the goods for the dress and the trimming for q. old frame. She has the ideas. She has tried on suits at every place in town where suits are sold, and not once did she pick at the price. And she didn't kick at the prices of the hats. It made 10 difference to her whether the hat she was trying on was worth $9 or $2O. She was not hunting a hat-she was hunting ideas, Claude Callan explains in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
 She tried on one suit worth $45 and another worth S60. No doubt the clerks believed her to be a middle mans wife, and they must have thought that she was very hard to please. Occasionally she found suit that almost filled the bill, but there would be something wrong At one place she found a hat frame just like her old one and she immediately took q fancy to the frame. She asked the woman how she could trim that frame for her, and the woman went into de- tails, while another and perhaps better customer waited patiently. She has all the ideas she needs, and soon will begin work, but, of course, she will have to go down and try on a few more suits before she gets hers pasted.

THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident of Sacrifice on the
 Altar of Her Country's Need.

One of the touching incidents of General Lyons march to Wilson creek was that of a Tennessee mother bring ing her little boy to the captains tent and offering him for the service of his country. The boys father had been killed in battle and the mother and boy were alone in the world The bright eyes and alert bearing of the little chap, for he was scarcely thir- teen years of age caught the eye of the captain and he asked what the boy could do. "I can drum he said proudly stretching himself 10 his full height. And he could as the ffer soon found out as he played "The Flowers of Marlborough" a most diff ficult piece to follow with the drum, Madam, I'll take the boy said the captain. The mother kissed her boy and turning to the captain said: Bring him back, captain and to the boy she said as she placed her hand on his eager little head, God bless you, my boy. You're all I have left, but I give you 10 my country and drum right bravely for the boys in blue" During the heavy fatiguing marches from Rolla to Springfield it was amusing to see the long-legged fifer wading through the mud with our little drummer hero mounted oa his back.

beat time for the soldier boys in bat tie. The fight led down into deep ravine and it was not long before our drummer boy was in the midst of the fray That night the detail on guard duty near the ravine thought he heard faint1y the sound of q drum. He listened in the moonlight and when the relief came he asked permission to 20 if search of the little drummer lad. He followed the sound of the drum and soon found our hero seated on the ground with his back against tree and his faithful drum hanging on a bush He dropped his drum sticks as the guard came up and exclaimed : "0h. corporal l am so glad to see you. Give me q drink" " and as he turned to go 10 get him water, he pleaded; "Oh, don't go and leave me I can't walk" His little legs had been shot off at the knees. Looking closer he diseoy- cred dead soldier lying in the grass, but evidently before he died he had put tourniquet about the stumps of the little legs.
