Blair gave the stranger "the once

But Madge shook her head. Thii

Mint and Rue.

IN the eleventh chapter Of st. Luke.
verse AZ 1t states: "Woe unto you,
Phariseesl for We 1.-THE mint and rue,
and all manner of herbs" Mint is
mentioned no other place in the Bible.
In this day and age, or at least In this
country, both mint and rue have run
wild until in some places they are q
menace to better plants. Both seek
only damp soils vet both are quite re-
sistant to drought as the root system
stlll lives long after tops are de-
stroyed and win put forth again and
again. 1t is evident that in olden
times these plants were Of great eco
nomic Importance in both culinary ana
medicinal departments. Today, while
mint Is widely used, largely in manu-
facture Of perfumes, the use Of rue
has practically ceased.

no,. q ssva the Mothers.

According to q circular issued by
the chIldren's bureau of the United
States department Of labor there are
annually about 1900 deaths from ma
ternal causes In the United States, ana
available statistics show no decrease
in maternal mortality since 1900. The
Medical Record comments that 'these
1900 deaths are but rough indica-
ton Of preventable illness and suffer-
ing among mothers" And it calls at
tention to DR.. Grace L. Meigs' sugges-
ton that centers Of maternal and In
FAINT welfare be started In every
county.

Very Interesting Address.

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. Wadman,
a Methodist missionary, and for the past
l6 years residing in Hawaii, spoke in the
cause of temperance in the United Breth-
rem Church, this place. Rev. Wadman
has been in the mission field for 80 years
and has seen much of the far eastern
countries. At present he is at Washing
ton, d. c.. working to secure prohibition
for the Islands. The Hawaiian Islands
under their original government had been
dry, but since the United States has had
control of them, liquor is being sold at
$50 saloons. 1t is these that he is now
trying to put out of business.
Mr.. Wadman is very pleasant talker
and we believe interested very much all
who heard him.

Unqualified authority for proclalna-
ton of export embargOeS by the presi~
dent was restored to the adminstra-
TONS espionage bill by the senate at
Washington after Democratic Leader
Martin had explained behind closed
doors that President Wilson feared he
would not be- able to accomplish the
ends desired under the section as it
had been modified.
American inventive genius has found
the solution of the German submarine
problem and new American inventions
will end the submarine peril. This
statement was made at New York by
William L. Saunders rs an expression
of personal opinion and not in his Off
cial capacity as chairman of the naval
consulting board. He was careful to
disclaim official authorization for it.

Louis Botha as a Fighter.

The BOer army organization Would
not be taken as Il model for any mod
ern military system, but it's very weak
nesses made easier the rise to high
command of able subalterns. At least
it gave young officer his chance to
show what was in him. Botha got his
chance under JOubert. 1t was only Il
matter Of weeks before this field cor
net was in command Of armies. At
ColensO Botha with G,OOO men held Off
Butler with $4,000 and made such use
of the deep trench as has become ia
miliar in the great war during the past
two years. European experts have
studied with profit Botha's brilliant de-
lenses. The shrewdness with which
he OWNED the enemy's intentions was
almost uncannN and more than once it
made him victor Of a doubtful field.
His only military training had been
received years before in campaigns
against the ZuluS. He was never
known to use q map. His accurate
knowledge of the country made map.
