Altered War Words.

An examination Of modern military
terms reveals the fact that very few of
them possess the meaning originally
assigned to them. Munitions, for ex-
ample, In ancient times signified not
only the materials of warfare, but also
the fixed defenses Of an army. Thus
the translators Of the authorized YER
sion Of the Bible use the phrase ssmu-
nitions of rocks" to translate "impreg-
nable rock fortresses," and the defend
ing army is charged to keep the mu-
nitions" when the meaning Is guard
the fortresses." Carriage is another
word with changed meaning. In
Acts appears the phrase "We took up
our carriages" 1t is one Greek word
meaning "having packed up" and the
Geneva version (155D has I'VE trussed
up our fardels." In those days the
words meaning was something car
ried," not as now, something that car
ries."-London Chronicle.

Bait For fishino.

A fish hasn't nose, but it can smell.
Recent experiments have proved this.
Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need of exciting fish's interest
by the look of food that the effect Of
scent has been overlooked. A shark
will bite at a hook containing a piece
of fat pork, although the pork does not
look like any kind of fish that swims
in the sea.
It may be heresy in angling to sug-
gest that a Fly" should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large part smell plays in the
food pursuit of fish. Bait, such as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rapidly
when the shells were broken. Bait
placed inside gauze bag was smelled
within three minutes Of being lowered
in the water, and almost at the same
time all the fishes began nibbling at
the bag. When cotton was stuffed into
it's so called "nostrils" the dogfsh
would seldom observe the food that
came near them.- Chicago Herald.

Other Peoples Money,

In handling other peoples money the
principal must be kept intact. If, as a
trustee. those to whom you are respon-
sible insist upon an income which you
in your heart know cannot be obtained
without taking some slight chance, give
up the trust without hesitation, says
Worlds Work There is no more bit
ter experience through which an hon
est trustee or executor can pass than
the rendering of an accounting for a
lost or depleted trust. No reason or ex-
cuse can weigh for an instant against
the actual result which he faces. A
single slip i'm the handling of funds
like this may doom all future genera
tons of that family to lives of poverty.
This is the greatest responsibility ever
laid upon a trustee, an executor, a
banker or an adviser, and no honest
man should assume it unless he is pre-
pared to endure for the sake Of the
future all the criticism that may CEN
ter upon him on account Of extreme
conservatism in the present.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, Aug. 9.-Another gain of
ground was made by French troops
on the Flanders front, northwest of
Bixschoote North of Vaux les Pala-
MEX, on the Aisne front, French
detachment cleared a Teuton trench,
inf1icting losses on the Germans, and
returned to their own lines unhurt.
Strong forces of Russians and Rou-
manians endeavored to recapture
ground taken from them north of
Fokshani, in Moldavia, but all the at
tacks were repulsed with sanguinary
losses The number of prisoners taken
by the Teutonic allies in these at
tacks has been increased to $500.
Friday, Aug. 10.-Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig's forces at daybreak
captured virtually all the German for.
ward positions east of the Belgian
town of HODGE, on the battle front be-
tween Frezenburg and the Ypres-
Menin road. The assaulting forces
gained virtually all their detectives to
the depth of several hundred yards
in the first rush.
On the Roumanian front south of
Aeruth and as far as the village Of
Solka the Teutonic allies conducted s
series of attacks of considerable in.
tensity. All were repulsed.
Saturday, Aug. 11.-Near the Russo
Roumanian frontier, the Anstro-Ger.
man troops were forced to retreat in
places with the loss of 400 men in
prisoners, in one case being pushed
back across the Putna River
The Flanders battle has been raging
violently east of Ypres. The British
ground gained in the Weshoek region
it's entirety against six violent German
counter-attacks. In addition, General
Haig's troops, on the right flank,
where the complete objective was not
gained in the first attack, were able
TO move their lines forward during
= night, gaining addition.
Sunday, Aug. 12.-The Russians
and Roumanians repulsed strong Teu-
ton attacks along the Fokshalnn-Mara
schti railroad, then counter-attacked
and captured 1900 Germans. only to
retire later in the evening.
In southwestern Boldavia, the Rus
slams smashed the Teuton lines and
captured number of prisoners and
four guns.
Monday, Aug. 13.-Troops under
Field Marshal Won Mackensen cap
tured the Roumanian town of Pantziu,
a railroad junction in Southern Mol
davia, which had been desperately de-
Tended by the Russo-Roumanian
forces.
The Germans attacked on the Aisne
front in an effort to recapture trench
es taken by the French on Saturday.
They were repulsed with losses.
British destroyed six enemy air
planes and shot down nine more out

Pay Bills Promptly.

II you pay bills promptly the man
you owe will be inclined to pay his
debts at once. There's an old saying
that "those who go borrowing go sor-
rowing" You'll never contract the
habit of running into debt il you meet
your obligations when they are due.
Paying up makes for business efficien
cy. There are some men rated wealthy
who find it hard to get credit. Other
men with nothing often can borrow
vast sums. Their credit is good. They
always meet their obligations. You
have heard it said, ed sooner take
that mans word than another mans
bond' Be one Of these men with the
word. Try paying your bills promptly
and see how it works.

Two Glasses Of Debts.

Avoid useless and unnecessary debt
as you would a pestilence," advises a
successful fnancier. s'There are two
classes of debts. One is constructive
credit, and the other is destructive
credit. On one hand farmer or bust
ness man may borrow to buy more
land, more stock, build improvements.
On the other hand, borrowing may be
done simply to buy an automobile or to
spend in some way that the investment
itself will not pay back the loan.'
