Rough for the SIackers.

For some time the boys In khaki
have been recruiting from the hurri-
cane deck Of half dozen Fifth avenue
buses, which take up positions along
the curb Of the white light section.
says New York exchange. They have
been doing good work and have gained
quite few recruits, but at times their
tactics border On the rough-neck way
of doing things. For instance, the
other night the recruiting buses were
stationed at points where the crowds
pass, and to the young men who went
by, they shouted, aren't you ashamed
Of yourself not to be In uniform?" "That
girl isn't decent If she walks with
Stacker like you;" There's another
who Is robbing his country" and other
similar remarks. The intent is to
shame the man into enlisting at once.
That this is doing harm is evidenced
by the attitude of the lookers-on, sew
eral comments of whom left little doubt
that those who were insulted would be
kept away from recruiting

1t Is said that the reason why sew
eral high officials of the United States
government continue to pronounce 1t
Reinforcement" Is because they got
started that way and are now unable
to stop. The president, however, says
"can-tn-m'nt," with the accent on the
first syllable. 1t is worthy Of men
ton that Professor Hunt Of Princeton
puts 1t "con-tonn-ment," with the &C.
cent on the second syllable, thus dis
agreeing with a former head Of that
institution, and that while the presi-
dent has the latest revisions Of the
Century, Webster's, Worcester's, and
the Standard dictionaries on his side,
Doctor Hunt is backed by Sir James
A. M. Murray's new English and Stor-
months dictionaries. 1t Is estimated
that so per cent Of the United States
army and government officials insist
on "can-tone-ment" The other SO
per cent, 1t may be presumed, follow
President Wilson or Doctor Hunt, or
give all the pronunciations an equal
chance.-Christian Science Monitor.

HUSBAND THE BETTER LOVER
lection in Deeds Rather
Than In Words.
Z g.

Invariably the radiantly happy mar
ried woman of fifty has adopted the
mans point of view regarding her life.
The average man is a better lover
than the average woman, because he
loves practically, showing affection in
acts rather than in words. From the
beginning his home is his inventive to
effort. Sometimes, after marriage, as
demands increase, he becomes so en-
crossed in his purpose that he forgets
to talk of love.
Then it is that the wife, who has
small understanding of love in action,
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No, he is at fever heat, lest he
fail il providing; physical proof of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness in
married life has a sufficiently mascu-
line outlook to understand him. She,
instead of broOding over imaginary
Sights, in return proves her devotion
by work. Her domestic duties are dig
nified by love, consequently she can
fix her thoughts upon something di-
verting while she mends socks, forget
ting the commonplace.
She can hear the song of the bird
or think of the story she read last eve
ming while she does the work of the
absent cook. To her it is a joy to
plan attractive meals that will add to
the efficiency of her loved ones. She

SEND TOBACCO KIT
TO S0JER in FRANCE

1t takes only % cents to send kit
of tobacco to some soldier in France
and receive an acknowledgment of
the same Send Or leave quarter at
the Watertown News office and it will
be taken care of for you.
Tobacco in the army is like water
at spring. 1t doesn't amount to
much when everyone has it, but there
isn't place in the world where the
old adage-"you'll never miss the wa
ter till the well runs dry'-stands
out in such ugly relief, as in a mill
tary company shy of tobacco.
You may argue that smoking is
bad habit, and that nicotine is a dead
ly narcotic, but the fellows lover
there" want and need tobacco.
The question up to you is whether
you are going to send it to them or
hand them tracts dealing with a per-
nicious habit
If man is in a trench for you and
wants smoke, are you willing he
should have it?
American tobacco is scarce in
France. That is why the fund is being
collected. Do your bit now. The price
you pay can't go wrong.
Enclosed
buy----------packages of tobacco for
American fighting men in France.
l understand that each dollar buys
four packages, each with retail val
lie Of IS cents, and that in each OF my
packages will be placed postcard,
addressed to me, on which my I'M
known friend, the soldier, will agree
to send me a message of thanks.
