To prevent private automobiles en-
tering the road at Fort Benjamin Har-
risOn leading past the quartermaster's
office, and interfering with government
hauling, civilian employee has been
placed at the junction of the quar-
termaster's road with the main road
entering the post from the south. 1t Is
his job to permit only automobiles
bearing Q. NJ. ID. signs to pass him,
says the Indianapolis News.
The other day an automobile, plainly
private machine and driven by llv-
cried chauffeur, turned down the for
hidden road.
"Hey, where you goin'? Have you
got a pass?" shouted the traffic man.
The chauffeur nodded yes"
where you got it?" the traffic "cop"
continued.
Eve got it here in my pocket" the
chauffeur replied.
"All right, then, go ahead" the traffic
"cOp' ordered, and the chauffeur
winked as he shifted gears and started
down the road.

 I sprang to his side. "Oh, has the pain come back again?" I asked. 1T am afraid the hot water bags have gotten cold. Let me take them and refill them."
 am glad the hot water bags were not santient objects, for Dicky's summing up of their characteristics and consignment of them to the place which Is supposed to be a graphic synonym of war were most complete. Then he turned his attention to me-

 Now am sure these thoughts she IS combating are half the time non- existant. In other words she is fRht- ing ghosts.
 People who have any kind of handicap in their heritage or any physical handicap are always lighting this ghost of other peoples thoughts. Of course one can readily understand how people So handicapped would be haunted. Such ghosts breed naturally in the miasma of a morbid sensitive ness. But if the haunted ones could lay hold of the health realisation that people do not have time to think about them half as much as they fancy. they might manage to exorcise some of these "hants."
 How Many Mimnderstandinss Arc

 Sometimes after a misuderstandtnr has cleared up and ono analyses tho trouble, one finds that the most of it simmers down into ghost fighting. It wasn't what either said or did that gave offense but 'I thought you thought-' says one. And 'I felt you didn't approve says thu Ather.

Women Doing Mems Work.

women Doing Mems Work. i One of the most striking results of the great war in Europe, is the extent to which women are doing the work
 of men. Travellers to England, and France report that practically every able-bodfed man is in uniform and women by the thousands are engaged in doing mems work-acting as con- ductors and drivers on the cars and doing all sorts oftheavy work besides.
 This shows unexpected possibilities in what has been mistakenly called the weaker sex. Women are subject Co ailments which men do not have, and when so ailing become weak, helpless sufferers. But a remedy has been found. For forty years. Lydia B.: Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been making such women well and strong. and as able to do work as any other woman.

sixty years old, and is survived by
the wife and number of other near

ton.
