When Nails Innsen-

Deafness sends this hint: AS soon
as picture nail driven in a wall gets
loose and the plaster begins to break
around it, it can be made solid and
firm by the following process. Sat
urate bit of wadding with thick glue,
wrap as much as possible around the
nail and reinsert the latter in the
hole, pressing it home as strongly as
possible. The nail will thus be firmly
fastened in its place.

The old stone church on Harvest Hill
1t makes but little show;
With pious care twas builded there
Some five score years ago.
It's walls are sheathed in ivy vine
And, by the gateway stair,
A ruse bush in the Sabbath hush,
Perfumes the morning air.
We used to sit within its walls
Each peaceful Sabbath Day;
The pastor there would teach his fold
Of the straight and narrow way.
And, of his kindly words, though few
In memory l find,
The better part aye reached the heart
And seldom sought the mind.
The words that old man gave his
fiocks
They hardly matter now;
We liked to watch the white, white
locks
That futtered on his BROW
To hear his voice and see the light
With which his eyes would fill;
And feel the breeze that fluttered in
So cool on Harvest Hill.
A score of ancient fathers there
Would sit with folded hands
And dream, in sweet serenity,
OF fair, celestial lands.
The way was fearsome for them;
They toiled and suffered ILL.,
Today each sleeps where Heaven
keeps
His rest, on Harvest Hill.
The skies that CLEAN on Harvest Hill
Are always bright and blue;
And her fair breast is gaily dressed
In blooms of every due.
The upland winds that love it so
Perfumes of Heaven SPILL
And God doth keep their rest who
sleep
Secure on Harvest Hill.

Uric Acid POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the system
is the cause Of rheumatism, that this uric
acid poison is present in the joints, mus
cles, or nerves. By experimenting and
analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, n Y, DR..
Pierce discovered a combination of native
remedies that he called Anuric-which
drives out the uric acid from the system,
and in this way the pain, swelling and in
fammation subside. If you are sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains here
or there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the pain
and ills brought about by uric acid; or
send DR.. Pierce 10c. for trial pkg Anuric
which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric
acid almost as hot water melts sugar. A
short trial will convince you.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit ine-salts in their joints

up ON HOUSEKEEPING
General Wood Enforces Strict Tidi-
ness in Person and Surroundings.

Camp Funston, Kan, Sept. 10
Cleanliness and neatness are two of
the watchwords at Camp Funston, ma
tional army cantonment, and the
young men now being trained for the
new national army are being given a
course in these two essentials of the
modern soldier.
Major General Leonard Wood, in
command of the cantonment, is a
''stickler" when it comes to cleanli-
ness and neatness and he is seeing
that the men of the Eighty-ninth di-
vision are receiving proper training
along these lines. The men must keep
their hair trimmed short and they
must shave at least twice a week and
battle an equal number of times. Use
of the toothbrush is required at least
once a day, while the bedding must be
given a sun-bath at least once a week

the war, there is danger of a large
increase in juvenile delinquency and
crime. Against this there is no surer
guarantee than prompt and regular
attendance at school.
Make Best Use of Democracy.
Our soldiers will soon be fighting
in the trenches and we shall be spend
ing billions for the preservation of
democracy, but this largely will be in
vain unless the boys and girls in the
schools are prepared to make fullest
and best use of democracy and are
taught to preserve it untarnished-
When the war is over, our nation
will find itself the leading country of
the world to a larger extent than ever
before. This will make necessary for
the preservation of our democracy a
higher standard of education and vir-
tue on the part of the masses of the
people. The schools must prepare
for this.
When peace has returned, the world
must be rebuilt-in a large measure
under the direction of the professional
and technical men and women OF
America. Training for this must be
given by our colleges, universities and
scientific schools.
Let Children Over IA Work.
1t may prove wise in many places
to adjust the school terms to needs of
harvesting and planting crops. To
match that in industrial centers, eff
forts should be made to permit boys
and girls of IA years of age and over
to work part time. This can be done
best by working and attending school
in alternate weeks.
There will be special need to see
that the new child labor law is ade-
quately enforced. The thousands of
children taken from the mines, mills
ana factories must go to school.

TAKE MARRIED men
Families Do Not Bar Them From Vol
unteer Army Service Now.

Married men are acceptable for mil
itary service, according to orders re-
ceived this morning at the local army
recruiting station at 425 Kansas ave-
nue., provided that their wives are not
dependent upon them for support.
The order came directly from the
secretary of war and informed the
local recruiting officers that marriage
was not necessarily hindrance to
military service. Whenever an order
is received from the war department
stating that there are openings in a
certain branch of service, married
men may be accepted.
Following are the views of COM
manders of different branches of the
army in regard to volunteer service
of married men, enclosed in the order:
From the office of the quarter
master general: There is no objec-
ton to the enlistment in the quarter
master corps of married men whose
wives or families are not dependent
upon them for support"
From the office of the chief of en-
gineers: 'I can see no objection to
the enlistment in any grade whatever
of married men whose wives or fami-
lies are not dependent upon them for
support"
From the office of the chief signal
officer: Married men are desired
for enlistment in the signal corps Din
Guiding the aviation section), only
when they possess qualifications of
special value to the corps, and can
submit proper evidence of non depen-
dence of all members of their fami-
lies together with waivers of depend
ency signed by their wives
From the office of the chief of ord
nance: "It is believed that for work
in the ordnance department. there is
no reason for not enlisting married
men whose wives and families are not
dependent upon them for support"
From the office, of the surgeon gen.
eral: There is no objection to the
enlistment of married men in the en-
listed force of the medical depart
ment, whose wives or families are not
dependent upon them for support,
provided no special consideration is
claimed on account of their conjugal
condition.
Enlistments in white cavalry units
may now be accepted, according to
the order, also engineers. for practi-
cally any men experienced in any one
occupation. Bakers and cooks are
still needed in the regular army as
well as in the national army. and also
enlistments of men wishing to learn
the bakers trade.

ADOPT SUICIDE THEORY
Relatives Help Clear Up Chicago Va
cant Flat Mystery.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Miss Josephine
Parker, SO, whose body was found in
an unfinished flat Monday night,
was a suicide, in the opinion of her
relatives and the coroner's jury. Her
wrists had been slashed with. a razor
and she had been dead about ten
days.
The police today apparently had
abandoned the murder theory which
they evolved shortly after the discov-
cry of the body
Relatives said Miss Parker had been
respondent since the death of her
father, A. F. Parker, a saloonkeeper,
last February.
After her fathers death, Miss Park
er lived with distant relatives in San
Francisco for about two months. then
returned to Chicago.

WAR VS.. SCHOOLS.
Should Guard Against Slump in
Higher Education.
Those Technically Trained Will
Rebuild World After War.
By DIR. PHILANDER p. CLaxToN.

Omitted States Commissioner of Edu-
cation.)
Washington, Sept. 19.-An army of
more than twenty million boys ana
girls enters the schools and colleges
of the United States this month.
Registration should be more than
last year.
There is a danger, however. that
there may be a lowering both of the
efficiency of the schools and in the
attendance, the latter especially in the
high schools and colleges. This should
be prevented as far as possible. Very
little can be added to the country's
preparedness by depriving our youth
of the opportunity of education.
Because of the partial disorganiza-
ton of society and the general excite
ment accompanying our entrance into
