ANOTHER WOULD KEEP THE
TOBACC0-FROM SOLDIERS

The article from the pen of Mrs
f. M. Bailey which appeared in ,last
weeks Northerner was read with
much interest. 1t seems to me in a
time like this, when our country is
calling for its best young men, it is
our duty as fathers and mothers to
see to it that they are kept in the
best of health while at the front by
refusing to add our "Bit" in sending
them cigarettes or tobacco in any
form. Picture for yourself if you
please, young man who has been
reared in home where smoking has
been looked upon as degrading. His
father never smoked and he himself
has never used it, does not even
know what it is like. He goes to
war and after time he gets lone
some and maybe homesick and has a
feeling that he is 'Down and Out"
he must smoke to be in style, and is
told that it will drive away the blues.
That nice clean young man gets the
habit, t,when he comes back home what
kind of a shock do you think it will
be to his parents. What will he think
of himself, it is too late, the habit is
formed. Who is to blame, you cer-
tainly did your "Bit' alright.
On a recent visit to Camp Custer
where thousands of young men are in
training l was impressed with what
| saw, signs were posted up all over
the camp "No Smoking" I saw no
men smoking, the coffin nails were
conspicuous by their absence. Do you
realize that men who smoke are not
wanted in railroad work or in any
kind of work where it requires a
clear head and steady nerves? What
kind of men is Uncle Sam looking for
to win this greatest of all wars, men
of sound intellect, steady nerves and
calm. Physicians will tell you that
tobacco makes them unsteady, un-
reliable and unfit for service. Lets
get busy and send them something
that will tend to make better soldiers
and when they shall be sent home
may they ever be physically better
than when they went away Uncle
Sam does not need cigarettes to fight
the Kaiser with, let's have a clean
army free from wine and tobacco.

PEPSHiNG RECEIVED BY KING.
King Tells American Commander
Dream of His Life Is Realized.

London.-Gen. Pershing was re-

commander of the Twelfth Canadian
infantry brigade. Gen. Pershing was
accompanied to the palace by his per

the audience the officers paid for
NAL call at the United States embassy.
After the formal reception the King
shook hands with Gen. Pershing and
the members OF his staff and ex-
pressed pleasure at welcoming the ad-
vance guard of the American army.
King George chatted for few mo-
ments with each member OF Gen. Per-
shing's staff. In addressing Gen. Per.
shing the King said:

GET EXPLOSIVE FROM FLOWER
British Scientists Discover That Bios
som of Mahua Tree In India 10
Rich In Acetone.

The munition output Of India has In
two years been increased thousand.
fold, mainly through the discovery that
one of Indias commonest blossoms, the
flower of the mahua or mhowra tree,
contains acetone In quantity. This tree
is widely known to all travellers In
Britain's Aslatic empire. but Its use as
n base for explosives Is at least one
thing new under the sun, says the
Scientific American.
! When the war broke out. acetone,
which forms the chief ingredient Of
lcOrdite, was extracted mainly from
wood, maize. and starch; and the Brit.
ish admiralty erected n great factory
for the process of acetone recovery
from starch. But fortunately two Eng.
Ilish scientists In Hyderabad discovered
that the mahua flowers contained nee
tone in larger proportions than It ia
found in any other vegetable substance
that this lnoffensive bloom was ten
time richer In the material In ques.
tion than any known wood. In fact,
the director general of ordnance for
India reports that the mahua is by
all odds the best source for acetone
known.
Manufacture on large scale Is now
under way and 1t is whispered that the
abundance Of munitions with which
the British forces in Mesopotamia ap-
pear to be blessed is to be attributed
to the new discovery.

IDENTITIES The Presidents commu.
nication was delivered to the Rus.
sian government by Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd. In full, 1t is as
follows:
I'm view Of the approaching visit OF
the American delegation to Russia to
express the deep friendship of the
American people for the people OF
Russia and to discuss the best and
most practical means Of cooperation
between the two peoples In carrying
the present struggle for freedom Of all
peoples to a successful consummation.
1t seems opportpne and appropriate
that should state again, in the light
of this new partnership, the objects
the United States has In mind In en-
tering the war. These objects have
been very much beclouded during the
past few weeks by mistaken and mis-
leading statements, and the issues at
stake are too momentous, too tremen-
dous, too significant for the whole hui
man race, to permit any misinterpreta-
ton or misunderstanding, however
slight. to remain uncorrected for a
moment.

"The war has begun to go against
