"IS YOUR BOY GOING?"

A writer in the August Woman's Home Companion says:
 "Close to me lives a man whose in- terests have been separated from mine by more than a mere ivy-grown stone fence-to be exact, by several hundred thousand dollars. The other day he leaned over the fence and in- quired:
 "'Your boy going?'
 ".'Yes.'
 Mine, too. Had a notion hs didn't want to wait for conscription. By the way, those eggplants of yours are not coming on very we'll May send my man over with some fertilizer that has helped ours?'
 "The fence is still there-but not the barrier. Our boys and our coun- try leveled it.
 There's bound to be lot of such leveling from this time on. Some of us who have been too busy to get ac- quainted are going to know each other. Some who have been too ab- .sorbed by money-making and reputa- tion-seeking to make friends will sud denly feel the need of comradeship. Some of us who have worried because our neighbors dressed better than we did, had a finer photograph, or ran a faster car are going to have our eyes opened to the falseness of the stand ards by which we have judged our selves and each other. We're going to like each other a great deal better and to need each other a great deal more"

RAILROADS WILL PROSPER
 THROUGH THE WAR

B. C. Fortes says in the August American Magazine:
 Transportation is ranked as our second industry, with it's ,500000 en- ployees on steam railroads alone and it's almost S20,000,0 0,000,000 of invested capital. There will be comparatively little dislocation of skilled employ ment in railroading proper; but, as in Europe, a movement has already set in to install women as clerical work CTS, and we are likely to see this sub stitution of women for men carried to considerable length on our railroads, our street cars, our elevated roads, and our subways. As for railway in- Vestments, they stand chance of faring better than they did before Already the nations railway system IS under the supervisory control of a small body of railroad presidents ap- pointed by the government, plan early introduced in England, and if interference with regular traffic and normal earnings becomes very exten- sive a financial solution may be found by guaranteeing the payment of diyi- dends, as was done in Britain. There fore, the railway outlook need occa- sion no special alarm"

KEEP FIT AND FEEL FINE

Foley Lathartic Tablets are wholesome physic that thoroughly cleanse the bowels, sweeten the stom- ach and arouse the liver. For indi- gestion, bliousness, bad breath, bloat- ing, gas, or constipation. no remedy is more highly recommended. Sluggish bowels are the direct cause of many ills and the indirect cause of many more. Undigested food poisons the whole system. Don't be careless. See that your bowels are regular. Keep fit. Then you will feel fine.
