Arras Before the War.

Tapestries are no longer woven In
Arras, but the city was a thriving in
dustrial community at the outbreak Of
the war, its chief articles Of manufac-
ture being hosiery, ironware, oil prod
ucts, beet sugar and agricultural imple-
ments.
In the Petite place and the Grand
place Arras boasts some curious archi-
tectural relics of the period of Spanish
occupation in the seventeenth century
houses Of hewn stone whose upper
stories project beyond the foundation
walls and are supported by pillars
which form arcades over the side
walks. Beneath the streets are huge
cellars or magazines which were orig
inally Quarries. The Hotel de Vile
is an interesting sixteenth century
building with belfry 245 feet high,
in which hangs a great nine-ton bell
called "Joyeuse."

Help Straighten the World.

The world Is topsy-turvy today, but
a normal and permanent equilibrium
must and will be restored In time. It
is going to be big task to accomplish
this. Whether this restoration be
what it should be, the new order of
things will affect every country in the
world, every nation, this nation; every
individual, you. 1t Is incumbent upon
you to be factor, an influence, In the
right result, no matter whether as hui
man values are rated you aDe small or
great. And the time to begin Is now,
now, now: for the way Is long, the prob
lens ahead are almost insuperable, and
the world Is in sorry need of the COM
bined thought and wisdom Of ah.-The

WAR ON INSECT PERIL NEXT
ing Enemies Of Mankind Held to
Be of Vital Importance.

A writer in an English journal has
suggested that the next great war will
be between man and the insect world.
This war would be waged not only on
insects that actually attack man him
self, but also on all those winged or
creeping things that are his enemies
In less direct ways-thOse species that.
to use the writer's phrase, exist at
the expense Of human progress and
happiness"
We oil shudder with horror at the
thought of scorpion or Of cent?
pede, although few of us ever see one
Of them, but we do not shudder enough
ut the thought of the millions Of un-
told disgusting things that we are put
ting up with all the time. Perhaps 1t is
unfortunate for us that many of these
harmful, and even death-dealing, In
aects are very smnll. If they were as
large as they are bad we should soon
rid ourselves of them. When we see
the housefly or the mosquito hugely
magnified we realize at once that, COM
pared with them structurally, the tiger
IL charming and beautiful thing; but
we go away and forget the magnified
picture and submit to the original Of 1t.
The death toll that vermin have
caused In the present war so enforced
its lesson that the world has reused
itself to clean things up The knowl-
edge that certain insects We're disgust
ing and upclean did not seem to be
sufficient reason for action, but the
knowledge that these same insects are
quite as dangerous as so many bullets
is strong argument.-Youth's Com
panion.

Luminous Radium Paint.

A luminous compound containing ra-
dunn has been developed by ali Ameri-
can manufacturer for use in locating
electric-llght switches in the dark,
marking watch dials, etc. In powder
form the compound Is of about the
same flneness as ordinary talcum
powder, and Is nearly as white, says
Electrical Merchandising. This pow
der may be mixed with adhesives or
varnishes and used as paint. The
compound Is also furnished in flexible
sheets which can be cut and shaped as
desired, and can be applied to uneven
or broken surfaces. This form can be
used in making self-contained BRASS
backed buttons to glue on electric
switches already installed and for
manufacturers to fit into the hard
rubber portions of new switch but
tons. The enamel is said to be water
proof and immune to damage from vi
bration, and may be applied to watch
dials and indicating devices of all
sorts.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and calIuses off with fingers-
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers II you
apply upon the corn few drops Of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
