What is Love?

That there is wide range of opin-
ion on the subject of love is indicated
by the results of contest which has
Just been closed by the New Orleans
Times-Picayune. That newspaper Of
fered cash prizes for the best answers
to the question: What is love?" In
all 23,761 answers were received.
Most of them were from women, and
dealt seriously with the subject. In
the main, the responses from male
correspondents were satirical, sarcas-
tic or facetious.
Three of the four principal prizes
were won by women and six of the
ten minor prizes offered also fell to
women. All of those selections dealt
seriously with the subject of love.
The first prize was awarded to Molly
Anderson Haley, Mobile, Ala, for the
following:
- Love is the doorway through
which the human soul passes from
selfshness into service, and from sOli-
tude into kinship with all humanity
In selecting that from nearly a.
600 offerings, the jury announced
that it was worthy of distinction be-
cause 1T has in eminent degree dig
nifty and beauty of FORM" Other win
ming answers were these:
Love is what makes red hair
golden white hair silver and no
hair a noble brow"
Love is the gentle art of being
very miserable in perfectly happy
fashion"
Loves like a we'll and a deep one,
A fact you have noticed, no doubt;
It's easy enough to fall into,
But hard as the deuce to get out.
"Love-A song: music by father,
words by mother
The thing that throws a halo
around duty, makes poverty endur-
able, lightens burdens that would
otherwise crush, and makes any four
walls a home-that is love-
Love is bank wherein every de-
post bears interest, and, notwith-
standing frequent panics among it's
patrons, the old reliable establish
ment has never been forced to close
its DOORS"
Love is a chisel that carves into
soft outlines the granite block of
stern reality

Grand Dukes Had World OF Land.

The Russian Grand Dukes, who
have just formally turned over their
'appanages, or official grants, to the
new government, have made great
financial sacrifice by this renuncia-
ton. The grand ducal estates sur
rendered aggregate more than 20
100000 acres. including thousands
of prosperous farms and many thTiv-
ing towns and villages. The annual
income from these estates is estimat-
ed at over 25,O00,000 rubles.
The imperial appanages, before
the serfs were liberated, controlled
over 100000 agricultural laborers.
Emperor Paul | set aside these vast
estates for the benefit of the grand
dukes because he foresaw the neces-
sity of making the imperial family
independent of the reigning emperor.
Grand dukes who have at various
times incurred the displeasure of the
emperor and have eXiled themselves.
have always continued to receive
their share of the appanages, with
which the emperor was powerless to
interfere.

What Nations Think Of Us.

Cuba ranged herself with the Unit
ed States in war against Germany
because old reasons of gratitude
on account of our treatment to the
island, and the resolution of war de-
clared that the republic ought not
to waste a single moment in taking
such action"
An American business man, back
from a trip to the far east, says
China cannot forget that the United
States, alone among nations return
ed the indemnity which the Chinese
government paid on account of the
Boxer outbreak. And he says that
China today looks upon America as
the one nation of the earth which is
unselfsh enough to be just and
worthy to be trusted.
This ancient empire, when 1t de-
clared it's republic, took it's name
after ours, the United States OF
China. Cuba offers to send an arm.
to serve with ours and go where the
American flag goes. This is proof
that the ways of a nation in its treat
ment of smaller nations can be OF
inestimable benefit to itself, if they
are founded upon justice and fair

TONOLNE is BEAUTY AID,
ANNOUNCES SPECIALIST
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to
Women.

AS health is a first aid to beauty
this story, told by Mildred Louise,
beauty specialist of Boston, Mass, is
of unusual interest.
Il can recommend no better health
giver than tonoline,' said Mildred
Louise.
Il was for many months victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness.
I had suffered terribly from pains
that followed eating. Headaches also
would add to my worries. Poor di-
gestion finally brought on nervous
ness.
Relief came, however, when |
took the advice of several women
who said, Take tonoline.'
Not long after | started the tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me of the improvement IN
my condition. And because health
is the quickest way to beauty, the
improvement was particularly notice
able in my face.
What tonoline really did for me
l cannot say. l am so grateful that
am very willing to recommend tono-
line publicly
Tonoline is purely vegetable
preparation which goes to the seat of
common maladies-stomach and kid
ney trouble, catarrhal affections of
the mucous membranes. liver all
ments and impurities of the blood
and quickly restores proper action.
Tonoline is being explained daily to
many people at Mack's Drug Store,
Bamberg, S. c., and Peoples Phar-
macy. Denmark, S. c.
Notice: tonoline is a wonder
ful flesh builder it should not be
taken by any one not wishing to in
crease his weight ten pounds or
more. Although many reports are
received from those who have been
benefited by tonoline' in severe cases
of stomach trouble and nervous
dyspepsia. chronic constipation. etc.

WORK FOR WOMEN IN WAR.
Conserve Food Supply and Encourage
Patriotism.

Women can do good 80 per
cent. in fighting the war" in the
opinion of Secretary Lane, by con-
serving food and encouraging patriot
ism among the men. He sent this
telegram few days ago in response
to a query from the General Fedora
ton of Women's clubs, in convention
at New Orleans, asking what women
can do for the country:
The women of America can do
no greater work at this time than to
raise their own vegetables. can their
own fruit. prevent waste in their
homes and give impulse and enthusl-
asm to the men of the land. If they
do this they will be doing a good so
per cent. of the work of fighting the
war to finish.
why not organize all the women S
clubs of the United States into a
lend a hand to Wilson league,
whose business it will be to carry on
a propaganda for the things the ma
ton will need-soldiers ships,
wheat. pigs, beans. If the women
will see that the boys and girls serve
in great maintenance corps of the
nation by putting in their time feed
ing the chickens, canning surplus
fruit and vegetables they can count
themselves among the saviors of lib
erty and civilization.

fresh from Belgium. When she left
the peasants gathered around her
and kissed her skirts in gratitude.
Practically all of them have Ameri-
can flags in their homes which are
looked upon as sacred icons by the

Nerve Centre of War in Chile.

In an area of $50 miles of arid,
barren desert in Chile lies the nerve
centre of the great war. If an un.
friendly power had held control of
this desert tract, the war would have
ended long ago with the crushing of
the entente allies. 1t is the famous
Chilean nitrate region.
William Howard Russell, famous
English war correspondent, wrote as
long ago as 1889: Without British
control of the sodium nitrates of
Chile the map of the world would be
very different today"
Germany now does not need to de-
pend upon the Chilean nitrate de-
posits, for the German chemists are
making synthetic nitrogen. However,
for six months before the outbreak
of the war in 1914 Germany had
been receiving enormous shipments
of sodium nitrate from Chile. It is
estimated, in fact, that Germany had
on hand one million tons of nitrate
in August, 1914.
Some engineers say there is enough
nitrate in the Chilean desert to sup
ply the world for 200 years. There
are about $4,000 Chileans employed
in the industry Nothing grows in
the region about the nitrate deposits:
it is a dead land To all appearances
the Chilean nitrate towns are like the.
old time Western American mining
camps. A great deal of liquor is con-
sumed in the district and consequent
ly there is considerable lawlessness.
North and Harvey, two British ad-
venturers, originally owned the nj
trate concessions, but now the Chill
can government controls most of the
valuable tract. Chile fought war
with Peru for the northernmost part
of the nitrate beds and won. The
British, through their financial
strength, exercise the greatest con-
troll of any foreign power over the
fields, though three German broker
age houses were big producers before
the war.-kansas City Star.

No settlement was In sight last night
when the fourth day Of the strike of the

last night that a series OF conferences

it would be impossible to get subcom-

President King Lauded.
The board Of directors of the company
held special meeting yesterday after
noon and congratulated President Clar-
ence P. King on the way he was
handling the strike situation and the
success he had in maintaining schedules.
President King read reports showing
the purpose of the strike and outlining
how he had conducted negotiations for
the company. He told the directors that
the dissension between the company and
the men involved large expenditures, but
that they would be returned in a VIC
tory for the company that would mean
less revenues for operation than IL they
acceded to the unions demands.
Officials of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company claimed they were
operating 80 per cent of their cars last
night and that the service yesterday was
normal during the daylight hours.
Observation OF F street, Ninth street
and in the lines running out to the
suburbs did not support the claims OF
the company, although the service was
better than on any previous day Of the
