NEARLY THREE BILLION SPENT

LACK OF CHARM CAUSE OF d.
VORCES.

Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the
great French actress, in a signed ar
ticle in the November issue of Har-
per's Bazaar, attributes the numerous
divorces that have come into the
courts of late years to lack of charm
in the woman concerned.
eff stood at the threshold of life"
says Nine. Bernhard, asking of it
something with which to buy happi-
ness, I should beg for charm. For il
one has charm, she will be loved.
And a woman must have love to be
happy. Beauty does not matter. If a
woman has charm she can secure
whatever she wants-love, success,
power"
But the Divine Sarah also says
that this invaluable quality can be
cultivated, and her prescription in
Harper's Bazaar reveals the secret.

A Bird Tragedy.

In an old home in the southeastern
mart of town there was recently re-
vealed evidence of a tragedy, trag-
edy which caused heartaches I'M
speakable in little feathered breasts.
In a gutter where painters were al
work. a bird nest in process OF build
ing was thrown out, and tangled IN
the meshes of straw, string and other
material which the little builders had
used in the construction of home,
tiny artisan was found suspended by
one fragile little leg in the partially
completed nest, a nest around winch
so many happy hopes had clustered
of a little welded pair. In some
manner they busy little workman
had become entangled in a piece OF
cord, and unable to extricate ltsell

imagine the agony of the little mate
way up there under the caves, so near
vet unable to assist, and helpless
could only gaze upon ruined home
and dying mate.

This Is a Funny World!

1t is more fun to see man read a
puff on himself in newspaper than
to see a fat man slip on banana
peel. The narrow minded man reads
it over seven or eight times, and then
goes around to appropriate what
copies he can. The kind hearted
man goes around to the Office and
pays what he owes. The successful
business man who advertises regu-
larly and makes money by it, imme-
diately starts out to find the editor
and the two walk silently down the
street and the business man takes
sugar in his and they both eat a
Glove or two and life is sweeter and
peace settles down on their hearts
for moments. Such is the experience
of a mustard seed that falls on differ
ent ground.

WAR TIME ECONOMY IN FASH

War seems to have affected every
item of daily life-and dress is not
the least CONSPICUOUS of these. 1t is
curious how much the latest styles

Monies of war; it is noticeable In
line. in materials, in color, in trim
mings. To quote from an article on
Good Housekeeping for November:
Although there has been no decided
change in the silhouette, the winter
clothes can be distinguished by their
narrow skirts. And for the woman
who makes her clothes, there is moth
ing quite so satisfying as to ind
models that are simple enough in
line to be easily made, and yet smart
enough to give the appearance OF
coming from the best New York
shops. The long-waisted line, the
gathered tunic with the deep band
of fur, and the tighter underskirt,
are the newest notes of the season.
The top coat worn with the one-plece
dress is replacing, to great extent,

HOW ABOUT IT?

Seventy American boys murdered
by the cowardly commander OF a
sneaking German submarine! Does
this bring the war home to you; or
must you wait until my son, your
son, and thousands of other lie with
upturned faces on the blood-soaked
fields of France, and the last ray OF
sunshine has faded from the hearts
of thousnds of American mothers, be-
fore you realize that this is your
war; that in it your responsibility is
undivided and certain, limited only
by your ability.
The issue is squarely before you
now; it cannot be evaded. Are you
so craven-hearted that you value
your dollars above the right to live
freely and happily? Are you going
to hang on to your money while
brave American boys face all the hor-
rors Of German savagery? II not,
come across, buy Liberty Bonds, yes?
Buy more and help end the war that
was forced on civilization by war
mad German plutocrats. Let's show
the barbarous German Empire and
his contemplate son that, true to our
traditions, we have the courage to
give our last dollar to save the world
from their accused rule.

HEALTH DON'TS.
(Johnstown Democrat.)

Don't take off or put on your
trousers over your shoes; you'll get
boils, maybe" says DR.. Dixon IN
his most recent little talk on health.
The good doctors cautionary ad-
vice interests us strangely. We snail
write some of our own.
Don't sit down on the grass. A
tick may bite you.
Don't roll up your shirt sleeves;
germs may propagate in the warmth
and attack you.
Don't suck soda through a straw;
you may get hay fever.
Don't wear rubber heels at Work;
you may get bounced. And don't
steal the boss's matches; you may be
fired.
Don't beat carpet; take some
thing your size.
Don't take pills in the dark; your
lights may go out.

From childhood have been UNI
der the influence of five en-Alex-
ander the Great, julius Caeser,
Thodoric the Second, Frederick the
Great and Napoleon. Each of these
men dreamed dream of world en-
pire-they failed. l am dreaming
dream of the German World Empire
and my mailed fist shall succeed"
Emperor William.
These words, written by the Ger-
man Kaiser many years ago, show
what he has been planning all these
years. He expected to make Russia,
France, England and the United
States mere provinces of Germany.
And worst of all, the Kaiser has
almost succeeded. There is still a
chance that he may succeed. He has
spies in every country of the globe.
and he has them everywhere in
America-not only men of German
blood, but hirelings from other ma
tions.
In the face of such conditions, the
duty of every American citizen is
plain: No man of honor can have a
moments doubt as to the course he
should follow. Every real American
will show where he stands by buying
Liberty Bonds-so that all over the
United States there will be such an
avalance of Liberty Bonds that the
traitors and spies here among us,
and their bloodshirsty Kaiser, will
realize that America caan never be
made a German province.
Go to any Paris bank and get
your Liberty Bonds to-day! If you
can't buy a large one, buy a small
one. If you can't pay for it all at
once, they pay for it in easy Install
ments. The main thing, the big, i'm
portant thing, is that you, you who
are reading this, become a patriotic
owner of one of these U. S. Govern
ment Liberty Bonds in this second
Liberty Loan of 1917.

Beware of Pneumonia.

With the coming of cold weather,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the men OF
death"-will begin to strike down It's
victims. People talk with some close
personal friend one day and few
DAYS later learn that he has been Sc
lected for the lightning-like stroke
delivered by pneumonia.
Yet practically no person in perfect
health is in any great danger OF con-
tracing the disease under ordinary
circumstances.
1t requires the presence of the
germs and some outside influence
which so lowers ones, vitality that
the growth of the germ goes on
practically unopposed by natural
forces. In other words, anything
that disturbs the normal balance
encourages the growth of disease
germs of every variety.
Fatigue is one cause. Inc tlred
feeling one experiences after pro-
longed effort of any kind is simply
/. the sum total of the protests coming
from every cell in the body against
soverwork. In this condition the
cells are unable to put up a good
fifht and so they succumb to the on
sslaught of the disease germs because
> they are so tired that there is prac-
tically no fight left in them.
Loss of sleep and overeating also
are predisposing causes. The first
operates by leaving the cells partially
exhausted by the work o fthe previ-
Gus waking hours. For it is only
during sleep that fatigue is neutral
lied.
Overeating cutters up the body
with a lot of more than useless ma
Terial that has to be handled and the
Eoody is unable to do this and at the
same time maintain its defense al
the maximum strength.
Stale air, another cause, is prac-
tically always the result of the pres
.ence of a number of persons in the
Mace where it is found. Air that Is
thus deficient in oxygen cannot Keep
the functions of the body going at
normal pace and so thus logged and
hampered, it is in a fair way to fall
easily before the onslaughts of walt
i ing germs.
