Broke into Junk Shop.

For the second time in few months the building occupied by J. Watchinsky or New London as a junk shop was broken into Saturday or Sunday night. The locks of the door were broken and entrance effected in that way and as nothing was stolen or very much disturbed it is supposed that it was the work of boys who wanted to get into the building for the purpose of playing poker, as it was formerly said to be used for that pur- pose.

EAST OF YPREs,

Haig's victory east OF Ypres is the
greatest British achievement since
the beginning of the war. The four
or Ave thousand German prisoners
taken within the FIRST twenty four
hours of the assault are as nothing
compared with the list of dead and
wounded. Since the battle of the
Somme there has been no such ac-
tivity as this on the part of either
side. It is wrong to mistake this &C
ton as the beginning OF the end, for
the Germans are not done as yet
They have many more men they can
lead to the slaughter, they have many
guns with which to pound the allied
lines; but this they have not,-they
have not the morale with which they
started out. They are doomed to in
evitable defeat and each day draws
nearer the end. 1t may be In 4 year,
it may be in two years. 1t may be
even longer: but it is on the way.
German arms cannot stand up for
ever against such assaults as the one
now being made east of Ypres.

The Children of the Working Woman.

The Children of the Working Woman.
Perhaps the greatest lesson these
studies among foreign mothers teach
us Is the effect OF hard work upon in
FAINT mortality. The extent to which
prospective mothers increase the fam
lily revenue apparently regulates the
extent to which their babies die.
These women add a few dollars
week to their husbands earnings,
but they pay dreadful penalty in
the loss of their children. Among
foreigners those nationalities which
limit their women's work to house
hold duties. such as the English and
tho Germans. have the best luck will,
their babies. Those peoples. such as
the southern and eastern Europeans
Slovaks, Poles. and Serbo-Croatians-
who regard their women almost az
much as their men as family bread
winners, lose their infants to much
greater degree. And, as though in
obedience to hitherto undiscovered
law, the races whose women work
hardest pay the greatest penalties of
this kind. Italian mothers, it is
true, have higher infant mortality
rate than certain eastern Europeans,
despite the fact that, in the main,
they are not heavy laborers; but these
women have poor physiques. and are
thus not good natural candidates for
maternity. The contrary is true az
the Polish, the slovak. and the Scrbo--'
Croatian women. Their fecundity II

Lfmita tions of COURTESY
(Drew's Imprint.)


Treating a customer like e. rich
uncle, SO You may extract his coin, is
not courtesy-thats foresight.
Offering g. seat to the man who
enters your office is not courtesy
that's duty.
Listening to the grumblings, growl-
ings and groanings OF q bore with
out remonstrance is not courtesy
that's forbearance.
Offering a companion a cigar when
you light one yourself is not courtesy
you'd be ill-bred IL you didn't
Helping pretty girl across the
street, holding her umbrella, carrying
her poodle-none of these is courtesy
The first two are a pleasure, and the
last Is politeness.
Courtesy is doing that which moth
ing under sun makes you do but
human kindness. Courtesy springs
from the heart; II the mind prompts
the action there is reason; for
courtesy has no reason. Courtesy is
goodwill and goodwill is prompted
by the heart full Of love to be kind
Only the generous man is truly
courteous-he gives freely without a
thought of receiving anything in re-
turn. The generous man has devel-
open kindness to such an extent that
he considers everyone as good as
himself-and treats others not as he
should like to be treated (for generoS-
ity asks nothing) but as he ought to
be treated.

MalOCcluSiOn.

"If we could achieve the preven-
ton of this most terrible blight upon
childhood, maloccIusion, it would
stamp us as deserving the most glori-
Gus commentator and would make
our professional standing more laud-
able in the sight of man and God"
This statement was made in per-
feet seriousness by DR.. e. A. r.
Torsch Of Louisville, KY. before
convention Of dentists, and is printed
in a discussion Of malocclusion in the
Journal of the National Dental asso-
citation.
To call the imperfect closing Of
teeth upon each other the most ter
rible blight upon childhood' seems to
the layman to be putting it rather
strongly. Yet dentists and most
physicians are now agreed that badly
closing teeth are responsible for an
Vulnerable digestive troubles, infec-
tons and malformations Of the jaw.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the necessity for taking chill

A child's teeth, experts say. should be
examined twice a year from the time
the child is three years old. The

Teeth are the gateway through
which all food must pass. Dirty
teeth are as little to be tolerated as

are. Badly closing teeth are like ma

German Chemists Dethroned.
philadelphia Bulletin.)

Following the meeting of the
Chemical society in Boston. great
exhibition of what the science has
done is being conducted in New York
which has aroused unusual interest.
Some of the leading chemists of the
country have been giving out daily
statements as to some phase of their
daily industry which show that Ger
many has lost her leadership In chem
istry and never can wholly regain 1t.
Times have changed since Andrew
Carnegie was booted at by his rivals
for importing a German chemist to
analyze iron ore. 1t resulted In a
saving of a great many thousands at
the cost of $1,000 a year. The joke
was on the other fellows. Now al
most any manufacturing establish
ment maintains a chemical labora-
tory. There are now more than ten
thousand chemists Of such distinction
as to gain admittance to the National
society. It was American chemistry
which made it possible for our num-
ton plants to supply the Allies at a
time when Germany supposed she
had them by the throat. 1t is Amer
lean chemistry which is now backing
up the nation in all it's plants for war.
Two years ago the Deutschland
came over with a cargo of dyes to sell
at fabulous prices. At last accounts
the cargo was unsold, for American
ingenuity had devised dyestuffs that
made us Independent in that line. It
seems as If there must be some evil
spirit conducting the affairs of Ger
many when it continues deliberately
not only to violate the laws of God
and man, but to increase the number
of her enemies and destroy her
chances for resuming world trade.
This is all the more remarkable be-
cause in a short time Germany would
have had much more than her al
ready out-of-proportion share of the
worlds commerce.

How Long Will They Last?
(New York Evening SUM-


With the current Of the war set
ting deeper and stronger against Ger
many. the impression Is gaining In
some quarters that the end of resist
ance is near The end may be in
sight, it may be admitted. but 1t has
not yet approached within measuring
distance.
Many signs show that the end is
in sight. German attacks in France
grow less and less vigorous. The fire
of the German artillery gives less
trouble than last spring. The at
lacks of the British and Of the
French score the line more deeply
and progress more readily than even
IN July. While our allies, awaiting
our arrival next spring, avoid exert
ing their full power in order to save
1t for next year, their deliberation
does not enable the Germans to re-
gain strength. The prisoners of the
French and British show an increas-
ing proportion of immature youths
as the fighting goes on. The Ger
man staff has lately abandoned the
system of front trenches, which
stood it in good stead, for system
of machine gun ambushes, which en-
able the defenders to protect given
front with comparatively few men
firing line.
In other words the methods of the
British and French have already
worn down the Germans to point
where they find difficulty In main
tanning their front in Frace. The
continuation of the same methods.
intensified by the aid of American
arms, is sure to put the Germans on
the run in a moderate time. More
than half the needful effort, indeed.
has probably been made.
There Is no telling In advance at
which blow of the axe the tree Will
plunge over. It is equally useless to
attempt to predict the moment or the
blow that will send the Germans
lurching back out Of their tracks.
Perhaps they will yield gradually,
falling ever back to new lines, ever
more thinly defended, or perhaps
they may hold stiffly to their pres
ent situation until they suddenly
! break and are forced into flight. The
/, time is uncertain; not the result,
which approaches and is unconceal-
able. We hope that the plans of the
| United States army organization
/ comprize strong force of cavalry.
