"a ING WATCH TELL TRUTH
Traveller Hits Upon Plan to Make u
Unnecessary to Turn His Time
piece Forward or Back.

The average commercial traveller
who journeys about the United States
has 10 keep close watch on his time
piece TO see that 1t is telling the truth.
There is an hours difference in time
when you enter and leave some cities.
and its an important matter that you
do not forget to set your watch back
or forward an hour. according to which
way you are travelling. If you over
look ii you may miss train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
he sometimes f0rgets to change his
watch at Detroit. Mich. for instance.
or at Dodge City. Ia. has frequently
had an experience of this kind. Some
times he has arrived an hour ahead of
time, or perhaps an hour after a train
has left, giving him time enough for
reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea of
making his watch tell oil four diff
ferent times-Eastern, Central, Noun
tain and Pacific. He went to a jeweler
and had extra hour hands put on his
timepiece-each of a different color,
so that he can recognize it at a glance.
on the face of his watch. For in
stance, the ordinary hour-hand. set
at Eastern time, is silver: blue hand.
set an hour back. represents Central
time; red hand, for Mountain time.
is set two hours back, and a green
hour-hand three hours back. represents
Pacific time.
You can do this to your own watch.
The jeweler will make set of hands
of these colors and alter your watch
for a consideration of few dollars.

New Antirables Vaccine.

A vaccine against hydrophobia that
seems to have many advantages over
those of Pasteur, Calmette, Babes and
others has been invented by Prof.
Claudio Fermi, superintendent Of the
Institute of Hygiene, University OF
Sassaro, Italy, and has been adopted
extensively In India. The London
Lancet describes this serum-vaccine
and says Prof. Fermi has had only one
per cent of his patients die during
treatment, and every one of those who
completed the treatment was cured. OF
the mad dogs he inoculated all were
cured.

addressed Il communication tu

despite the fact thatthe Ameri.

have broken off diplomatic
relations, steps be taken by the
two governments toavoid entering
into war against each other.
Information is lacking us to
the channels through which the
communication is being sent
to the American government but
it is probably being forwarded
through the Swiss government
Germany is understood tu
have made it clear that while
diplomatic relations with the
United States have been broken,
she greatly desires to maintain
peace with this country.
While the communication
does not indicate that any
suggestion is mI.de of u willing
ness on Germany's part t.
modify her submarine policy
the whole communication
however, clearly invites this
government to take steps which
will prevent war between the
two nations.
In connection with the
movement for the maintenance
of peace for the communication
states that German diplomats
throughout the world have beer
instructed that while militar
necessity makes the submarin,
policy a requisite, a period u
time may be given during which
neutrals may adjust their
maritiue interests in such /;
manner that neutral passenger
ships will not be endangered.

that the buildings ON the section

PAY Up Wee"
Is Nation Wide
Everybody Supposed To Pay
Their Bills Next Week

National pay up week will be OBJ
served throughout the United
States from February 10 to Febru-
AIRY "a. During these days the
pay as you go" idea, which has
been gaining strength throughout
the country for several years, will
he boosted by civic and CONNER
cial organizations everywhere.
The object Of pay up week is to
promote better business relations
between buyer and seller, or. to be
more specific, between the retail
merchant and the consumer.
:, 1t is generally recognized that
while credits have their place in
the larger business affairs the pay
as you go" method 'is more bene.
fetal to both the retailer aud his
customer. Cash payments enable
the merchant to sell his goods at
a more reasonable price and at the
same time prevent tying up his
money in merchandise which must
be given ont on credit. On the
other hand, the buyer benefits by
cheaper purchases aud at the same
time has the comfort OF not having
bills hanging over his head.
National pay up week is further
more based Oh the conviction that
once year at least citizens should
make systematic effort to put
their business affairs in shape.
! The movement is an effort to get
each community toset q time each
year in which men shall settle, one
with the other and get their bnsi-
ness bearings SO as intelligently to
carry on the work of the new year.
Business is SO intricate aud COM
plex that one mans business sue.
cess depends upon the cooperation
of those which whom he deals Ia
a business way. II one man pays
his bills, the one who is paid can Do
likewise, and so an endless chain is
set in motion and improves busi-
! ness conditions all around.
The first community to institute
pay up week." was the town of
Waukon, Wis. Following the lead
of the business men there, other
towns have taken up the idea un-
til today it represents formidable
movement.
