Good Habits and Health.

The man who spends his every cent of money and of health can never get a footing, financially or physiologicai- ly. Investing his efforts in wrong di- rections, they leave him in debt. His life goes on downward, an inevitable failure. The human derelict slruf- fling along the back street is not sim ply financial bankrupt He is phy- sical wreck besides. Take one good habit into your family of habits. It is good breed to have around; 1t at tracts good company. Good habits pro- duce good health, and good health pro duces a clear mind and good spirits, which in turn promote a successful and happy life.-Chicago Herald.

Riuht Kind of Spunk.

You must never give up until you reach the goal aimed at. Obstacles are the test stones for discovering strength. When sure you are right there can be no real excuse for your failure. Bruce learned from the spider that instead of moping he should spunk up and keep spunked up. History ney- CT tires recounting his successes. Cy- rus Field knew what it meant when the Atlantic cable parted repeatedly as if in defiance of human invention. But he kept at it and joined together the continents. The same spirit led Edi- son to make 2,500 trials before he got the results he sought in the incandes- cent light. Weak men would have giv- en up early in the game. The right kind of spunk is the energy that brings things to pass and makes fortunes.- Pennsylvania Git.

For Army Y. M. C. A.

New York.-A campaign To raise
$35, 200, 900 by July /, 1918. to carry
out the vast work OF the Young Mems

This sum is needed, an announce
ment from the council said, to cover

tents maintained for the soldiers and
sailors In camps, environments and
naval stations In the United States;
for the rapidly growing work in
France AID England among the
American expeditlonary troops, and

SHORT crops this year and
the need of money for making
up incidental loss and hnanc-
ing farming operations for
next year will naturally keep
local investment in Liberty
bonds below what it might
have been had a normal crop
been harvested. This being
very largely an agricultural
district most local concerns
and people have been affect
cd by the adverse conditions.
These are matters that
Liberty bond solicitors who
come into this locality will
have to keep in mind. Those
who are able to buy bonds
will be expected to do SO, but
others should not invest to an
extent that will cripple bust
ness that is necessary to the
prosperity and efficiency of
a part of the country.

How Zulus Treat Their Guests.

AAOW LuiuS LedU ueIT UUcSIS.
One OF the most marked character :
istics Of the Zulus is their kind treat
ment of way-faring travellers who
happen to fall into their hands. The
traveller or travellers are always quar-
tered ia the best hut in the village.
Guards are always stationed around
the hut to see that no harm befalls
the guest from over-inQulsitive
natives. In daytime he Is always fed
90 the rarest viands that the couatry
affords. Indeed, II the traveller has
been il.-nourished on his journey, he
is kept until he is in better health
and has gained hack his lost weight.
When he is deemed sufficiently fat by
a committee of natives, everything is
made ready for the entertai nment.
They dig an oblong pit and build a
large fire in 1t. The fire is then
allowed to die down until it Is Just a
bed of glowing Goals. The guest is
then led forth and his head Is gently
Topped off by the village butcher He
carefully preserves the head and
catches the blood in gourds, to make
sausage. He then lmpales the guest
on spit and puts him to roast over
the fire. This singular entertainment,
with the guest as chief entertainer,
does not end until his banes. stripped
clean OF meat, lie white and bleac hing
on the ground under the silver rays
Of the moon.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The German armies in Flanders
have been trying for the Iast week To
wrest from the British the territor,
taken from them 10 the recent often
sive. The British are now In posi-
ton to seriously threaten the German
communication line with Ostend and
the submarine base at Zeebrugge.
Many German attacks in heavy force
are reported to have been repulsed
with great loss. The British report
their own losses at 1000 men during
the week ended Oct. 2.
The French have repulsed numer-
Gus German attacks on both banks of
The MeuSe.
The Italians are holding the adj
vantage gained against the Austrians
in the Gorilla sector.
The Germans have made more air
raids on London. During the past
week submarines sunk IL British
merchant ships of over 1000 tons each
This is the smallest loss repor ed
sustained by British shipping IN any
week since the submarine campaign
opened.
