First Victories Here
John n. WHY'S, of Toledo, auto
mobile and aerOplane manufactures,
appointed jointly by Secretary of
| War Baker and Secretary of Navy
| Daniels as chairman of the national
munity Recreation Fund, has writ
ten letter to each of the following,
asking their assistance in this vitality
important war work:
David L. Tracy, Charles w.

Colgin, Robert Mccormick, A. II.

Carson Stamm, Joseph II. Wallazz,
and e. u. Wallower.
The public, it is pointed out must
be made to realize that they must
help to win the war. The first vic
tories" will be won in America, and
will depend on the way in which
those who stay at home receive,
welcome and hearten the men who
are ready to bleed and die that
democracy may live. The work for
the soldiers and sailors in the COM
munities outside the camps, should
not be confused with what is being
done for their entertainment and
recreation by the Y. NJ. c. A, the
Knights of Columbus. the Y. NJ. II.
A., and in other ways during their
leisure hours in camp.
Must Have Backing
Mr.. Willys summarizes the big
purpose of the War Camp Com
munity Recreation Fund when he
says:
THE spirit of the new American
Army is to be made in the next few
months. Mere numbers do not make
an army; millions of soldiers who
lack the fighting spirit can retreat
without a struggle. The American
boys .ust know that the finest ideals
of civ ilization are in their hands,
that the folks at home are living and
fighting in their hearts.
Imagine your boy at training
camp" he says Where shall he
go and what shall he do when. off
duty? The cities, big and little,
adjacent to the camps will do their
best; but without the aid of ma
tional fund it will be impossible to
supply IIe equipment anu lllt u eih~
ed personal service necessary to
make recreation system a thorough
ruccess.

JUST WANTED HIS LAUNDRY
But Methods Employed by New York
Man to Get 1t Involved Him
In Serious Trouble.

f any one had spoken to Charles
Turpin the other day at two o'clock
1t is just about ten-to-one shot that
no answer would have been forthcom-
ing. For at that hour Mr.. Turpin was
being removed, feet up, from the
rathskeller laundry Of Charles Fung,
West Fourteenth street, followed by
the ruin of his own laundry bundle,
the imported imprecations of Mr.. Fung
and two policemen, who were ready
at a moments notice to repeat what
had already been transacted regard
ing Mr.. Turpin's skull, says the New
York Herald. In brief, Mr.. Turpin
was as busy as witch.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Turpin has made
no statement other than that the re-
naming days of G.. Fung upon this
earth are numbered, it is difficult to
learn what started the typhoon. Mr..
Fung speaks a number of dialects
which no one cares to listen to, and
aside from gestures his descriptive
powers seem notoriously weak.
All that Is clear is that Mr.. Turpin,
having lost his check, demanded his
laundry at once, and during the indeci-
sion Of G. Fung, began to open bundles
and try on anonymous shirts. Mr..
Fung blew a police whistle once, after
which Mr.. Turpin is alleged to have
sent the whistle in one blow from Mr..
Fung's mouth to a point off Sandy
Hook. 1t took three policemen to con-
vince Mr.. Turpin that in matters per-
tanning to laundry he is all wrong, and
In the Jefferson Market court he was
held in $500 bail as an unusually
disorderly customer.

KNEW WEAKNESS OF WOMEN
French Police Minister Played Shrewd-
iy on WelI-KnoWn Characteristic
of the Fair Sex.

During the reign of Louis XIV Of
France, the light chaise came into
fashion, and great ladies Of Paris were
accustomed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently in
the streets. Consequently, says Das
Buch fur ALE, the king besought the
minister Of police to do something,
since the lives of pedestrians were
constantly in danger.
II will do whatever is in my pow
er," replied the police minister. "Your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entirely?"
The king replied, Certainly. See
to it that they do"
The next day there appeared royal
ordinance that ordered that, in the fu-
ture, ladies under thirty years Of age
should not drive chaises through the
streets Of Paris. That seems mild
restriction; but it is said that scarce
ly q woman from that time on drove
her own chaise. The police minister
knew that few women would care to
advertise the fact that they were over
thirty, and that the rest would prob
ably be too old to drive.

Labor on the Farm.

Manual labor is more important
to the indiv;' Ial, to society and the
governme - now than ever before
1t will be of still greater importance
as the war continues.
Every farmer should be impressed
with his opportunity for useful
labor. 1t seems that farm Labor
will bring greater remuneration and
be of more service to the country
than most people realize.
The surest means of success in life
is honest, painstaking labor. There
is no better way to build up char
acter and attain true manhood and
womanhood than labor for purpose
and with definite aim.
This is true in farming. Young
people who have an opportunity for
honorable painstaking labor on the
farm should do their utmost to
accomplish something above the or,
dinary. 1t is difference between
the ordinary and the excellent that
leads to success in any business.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. No one can
afford to neglect the task before
him. Excellence in work gives
satisfaction that is worth all the
effort it requires. Little things on
tie farm require great pains. great
earnestness and great diligence.
There are no little things to those
who do great work in life.
The farm and everything on it is
worthy of the best effort. If the
work does not inspire you it is be-
cause you have not learned of its
importance and the excellence of
, labor for a purpose. Be sure you
master your work and you will.get
pleasure from it. Give your work
a touch of personality, making it
individual and distinct. This may
require zeal patience and persistence
but it will help build character and
represent the ideals of the laborer.-

~Birdu Without His Feathers.

An amusing story Is being related
in London reminiscent Of Gallipoli
days. It tells Of General Birdwood,
whose wont it was to move freely
about among his troops, often in the
heat of the day, clad only in khaki
shorts and a shirt, and his coat, with
the customary stripes and insignia Of
his rank, discarded. He was talking
one day, with an Australian private
who, quite ignorant Of the generals
identity, was lolling casually against
the side of a trench, and addressing
his commander in chief quite as an
equal, much to the dismay of a nearby
subaltern. When the general had
passed along, this "sub" took it upon
himself to enlighten the private Of the
enormity of his ignorance. At the fin
ish Of the junior officers harangue
said the private to the SUBJ: Every
sorry, sir, but how was to know who
ne was? Why doesn't he wear his
feathers, like any other bird would"

Iron For Uric

Highly Concentrated Me-

Acid Iron Mineral
Best Yet
Very Economical Too.

When PERSONS back seems al.

weigh like lead, and every twist or
turn of limb or muscle sends pains
shooting about, why all of us must
remember that uric acid does these
things, and what we need is a,little
iron to drive it out of our system.
We don't need lagative. We
don't want to put alcohol into the
system. What we need is just one
little thing, that is iron.
Get a bottle of highly concentrated
Acid Iron Mineral. Pour tea
spoonful into glass of water after
meal and see what a quick. short
cut it makes to relief and freedom
from pain. Take it regularly few
days to help the blood.
Sometimes the trouble can be
traced to the kidneys and this
natural, highly concentrated me-
dicinal iron helps them too. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of Acid

Primitive Nitrate Working.

The nitrate caves in the South were
worked during the Civil war by very
crude methods. Generally the cave
earth was shoveled into iron pots,
where it was treated with water and
heated over wood fires to leach out its
soluble parts. The liquor was drawn
from one pot into another, and used
for treating fresh material until 1t
became highly concentrated solution
of nitrate salts. It was then drawn off
and allowed to cool, whereupon the
nitrate crystalized. The remaining liq-
uor was then employed to leach fresh
material and the crystals were separ-
eted and sacked for use.
