INSURANCE MEN DRY.

Speaking editorially Of the waste in
human life due to drink, the Insurance
Magazine says:
zone Of the brightest hopes that this
country had in its entrance into war
was the hope Of the abolition Of the
manufacture and use of booze.
ut is permissible to disagree with
the president that beer and wine are
in any way more necessary than whis-
ky. Every one of them is first aid
to German bullets, an enemy to food
conservation and a deliberately unjust
tax upon the entire country in time
of war.
"At some national or perhaps inter-
national conference all the chiefs OF
the insurance world will put coop
erative ban on intoxicants.
sit is the man who drinks who is
more largely responsible for the pres
ent mortality tables than any other
factor.
at is the man who drinks who is
forced to pay a greater sum for his
insurance than otherwise would be the
case.
''If the man who drinks is still &C
ceptable as a risk at certain price,
then the man whose system is free
from the brain-numbing poison is en-
titled to a lower rate"

scREEN AcTREss TALKS.

Those who enjoy good, wholesome
motion picture plays will welcome the
action of Miss Blanche Bates in de-
cIining to appear in any production in
which drunkenness is depicted. There
are many reasons" she says, why all
the plays in which I've appeared have
been on the water wagon, and one of
them is that ] would not participate
in a drunken orgy any more on the
stage than off. My managers would
often say to me, But 1t gets the
laughs, and that's what we want And
would answer: Drunkenness is one
of the most pitiful and unpleasant
conditions that any man or woman can
descend to, and If the American the
alter audiences laugh at the antics of
an intoxicated person, | firmly believe
that the American sense of humor
ought to be censored"

SCoURS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result Of Overlooking or
Use Of Unciean UtensiIs-6est
to Reduce Feed.

Scours in our animals is generally
the result Of overlooking or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If 1t is one
thing one time and the other the next,
it will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals in which
the milking Is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed, particularly to young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours, possibly thumps in
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount Of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets. and give a good dose of
castor oil. Two ounces is a dose for a
calf, and from a teaspoonful to des-
sertspoonful to a growing pig, accord
ing to its size.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen tender corn
or caIIus so II lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

on Writing Letters.

Il was told by Capt Harry Light the
other day." writes a Canadian major,
"that there is new style in trench
letters. The censor's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu
alton engrained in his thinking. He
sees through the need Of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humor and
matter-of-factness about his letters.
One of my men who can't write very
well, was telling me the other day that
one letter week Is all that he can
summon up his courage to write, and
he gave this as a reason: The people
at home don't, can't understand life
here. We have got to go through it.
Why tease them with anxieties-they
have enough to put up with in paci-
fists and political grumblers' And ]
think he Is right. Don't y0u?"

Women Drive War Automobiles.

Between 100 and 200 women soon
viii be driving military motor cars be-
hind the French front.
Women have tried since the begin
ming of the war to enlist in the auto
mobile service. The Club Feminin
Automobile was the center of this
group, and it had secured the sigma
lures of several hundred of the thou
sand women in Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars. The passive re-
sistance of the different war bureaus
held them back until now.
The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
cipline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers in the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
on they may replace men in other au-
tomobile sections.

milk is fed in warm, sweet condition,
ordinarily no difficulties will be ex-
perienced. The amount of skim milk
fed may be increased as the calf in

SALOON FoIsTED ON POOR MAN.


All Of poor mans wealth is invest
ed in his children, says Mr.. John #.
Cunneen, labor leader and workngman
of Chicago. The poor man sacrifices
his whole life to raise his children
and hopes when they grow up they
will be a help to him in his old age.
If the rich mans children 60 to the
bad the rich man still has money to
support him, but when the poor mans
children go to the bad all his wealth
is lost and he is left in his old age to
a life of misery. The saloon is an in
stitution that robs the poor man of his
children, and he ought to be against
it even more than the rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no sa-
looms can be established, or they will
have laws made to bar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their con-
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors; but when you drive the saloons
away from the rich mans home and
the doors Of the church, you drive
them to the homes of the poor people
the least able to withstand their raw
ages. The poor man cannot drive the
saloon away from his door with money.
like the rich man, for he has not the
money; he has a vote, and with that
vote he can, and should, drive the sa-
loon away from his door.

Raising the dairy calf on whole milk
alone is too expensive. There are
number of supplements which may be
combined with whole milk in order to
lower the cost of the ration. The
feeds most commonly used as whole
milk supplements are skim milk, home
mixed meals, commercial calf meals,

Fall of Riga Brings NetO
German Army Commander
Into Much Prominence
BY associated Press

Copenhagen, Sept. 6.-The capture
by the Germans of Riga has brought
out the name of a new German
army commander, Won Hutier, whose
recent promotion to leadership of
an independent army is one of the
few examples of young blood for
forcing it's way to the top through
the serried ranks of older generals
and superannuated officers.
Won Hutier, who is of French de-
scent, his grandfather having been
French officer, was a guard division
commander at the outbreak of the
war, and until the capture of Riga
he had some striking evidence to his
credit. His chief-of-staff, General
Sluberzweig was for a time Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's chief-of-
staff and later was transferred to
Belgium where his name gained un-
desirable prominence in connection
with the execution of Miss Edith
Cavell, the British nurse.
Prince Eitel Friedrich, comman-
der OF the first guard division, which
captured Tarnopol, participated in
the operations at Riga.

Germans Suffer Little
Defeating Russ Army
BY Associated Press

Copenhagen, Sept. 6.-The Ber-
lin Tageblatt's correspondent on the
Riga front, describing the passage
of the Dvina river, says this was
accomplished without the loss of a
man. thanks to the effectiveness of
the German artillery and mine
throwers. The Germans had hs-
sembled a greater number of mine
throwerS than ever before and
brought them into action after the
regular artillery had bombarded the
first and second lines for several
hours.
The effect of the mine lombard
ment was literally overwhelming.
Houses were reduced to fine dust.
and the demoraliZed Russian sur
vivors fled. Bridges were thrown
across the Dvina, at this point four
hundred yards wide, by which
storming parties crossed and as
saulted the fire line heights. Other
bridges in the meantime were being
constructed, and the whole army
was soon crossing, while the regi-
mental bands played.
The whole operation was carried
out at such little cost that three
divisions which were in the thick
of the fighting had total casualties
amounting to only $50 dead or
wounded.
