She Was Fired

From an EXchange.
 In Hudson Maxims Dynamite Stories is the following sad narrative:
 We once had servant girl whom we nicknamed Jeopardy because she could not be prevented from pouring kerosene directly from the can upon lighted fire. One day Jeopardy left us very sur denly, and she never came back. We were sorry she left as Jeopardy was Q good girl It developed that she had chanced to find 50-pcund case of dyna- mite sticks in the woocshed, which she had been using to start the fire in the kitchen stove. Sometimes dynamite will work all right for such purpose, but it Is notional stuff and cannot be depended upon merely to burn. It was during one of those intervals that Jeopardy went"

In view of the modern-day high cost Of living and of the. many wonderful ad- vances made In the last century-the railroad. the telegraph. the ocean cable. the telephone, the automobile and farm and labor-saving machinery of all kinds and the amazing changes these inven- ticns have necessarily wrought in all di- rections in almost every walk of life-it may be of interest to recall living on a farm in the year 1s4o
 The farm I have in mind consisted or 200 acres. The stock was IS cows. yoke of oxen. 20 sheep. an old white horse. . dozen pigs, 50 hens.. 10 geese, . few ducks and flock of turkeys
 The farm produced practically every thing the family consumed. both clothing and food. The sheep furnished the wool, which was carded at a 'fulling'' mill and made into rolls for spinning.
 At home 1t was spun into yarn and woven on hand loom There were no ready-made clothes; all clothes were made in the homo.
 Several COWS were killed each year. There was . tannery near by, where the skins were tanned. shoemaker made our boots. They were usually too small and gave much trouble and pain.
 Tho flax. cut and laid down until tho dber loosened from the woody part. was put through heckle worked by hand and then spun and woven. This strong linen cloth was used for summer eiothines towslA etc. Tue seed was sAved to mako Aaxseed tea (a medicine, CT poulttoe yose bruises

Canadians at Door Of Lens
The Canadians lying in their
trenches at the doorstep of Lens and
the British forces holding trenches
south OF the famous Nimy ridge are
coming in for intensive Smelling from
the Germans.
On the long neglected front near st.
Quentin the Germans have delivered a
surprise attack of considerable pro-
portions, but were unsuccessful in
gaining ground anywhere except at
several weak points in the center of
the French line. Otherwise the fire OF
Gen. Petain's men put down the sally,
inflicting considerable casualties on
the Germans. Likewise along the Aisne
front the Germans have delivered on
saughts against the French, but here
also they met with the same result
that has marked the previous at
tempts of the German Crown Prince to
pierce the French line-defeat. At sew
eral points the Germans managed TO
make their way into isolated trenches,
but they met death later In hand to
hand fighting or were captured.

toward starvation. Our allies have re-
duced consumption by the most drastic
measures, but it is impossible to reduce
consumption to those in war who work
and engage in other physical labor.
Therefore the incidence of this drastic
reduction among our allies falls upon the
old people and the women and children
and any shortage in the supplies we may
send them will fall upon this class and
this class only; for until they are reduced
to starvation they themselves will insist
on every sacrifice In order that their
fighters in the trenches and the men and
women In the munition factories may be
maintained.
This war is a struggle to assure the
dominance of Democracy. Every flag
that flies against the Central Powers
is by proxy the American flag. Every
man in the ranks Of the Allies. every
woman and child in Europe sacrificing
in the maintenance Of these men are
fighting in our defense.

I'VE have in our abundance and in
our waste an ample supply to carry

ter without suffering. If we fail. it is
| because individual American citizens
! have failed to see and do this loyal ma =
tional duty. This is a service in which
every man. woman and child in this
country may enter We shall invite all
classes and all trades to sign volun-
teer pledge to cooperate with us in
the undertaking and so become as
much members of the food administra-
ton as we ourselves are.
There is no royal road to food con-
scrvation. 1t can be accomplished only
through sincere and earnest daily CO.
operation in the 2000000O kitchens and
a, the 20,000,000 dinner tables of the
United States. If we can reduce our
consumption of wheat flour by one
pound, our meat by seven ounces, our
fat by seven ounces, our sugar by
iseven ounces per person per week
these quantities multiplied by 100000,
] 600 will UNNECESSARILY aid and encour-
age our allies, help our own growing
armies and so effectively serve the
great and noble cause Of humanity in
which our nation has embarked.
This cooperation and service I ask
of all in full confidence that America
will render more for flag and freedom
than King ridden peoples surrender at
ccmpulsion."

President Wilson plans to appoint Her
