LOVE OF FLOWERS.

Some one says that flowers are
loves truest language. Almost every
body admires flowers, and some peo-
pie love them to excess. / know a
woman who keeps the beautiful yard
in front of her house full of the
choicest shrubs and flowers. She
has studied and worked with them I'M
til she seems possessed of floral idol
airy.
1t was part of Gods great plan in
creation to adorn the world with
flowers in their beauty painted in ten
thousand forms and colors were scat
tered everywhere for mans delight
and pleasure, ever to remind him of
Gods loving kindness in the growth
of flower.
Nature shows the hand work of
God as surely as in the making of a
world. Flowers have ever been used
for the delicate expression of our
truest sympathies and our tenderest
affections.
The love of flowers is universal.
Wherever people live and homes are
made, there flowers are found. Whe-
ther it be in lowly cottage or lofty
palace. A row of buttercups, gera-
mum in an old flower box, a bed of
hyacinths, or a cluster of morning
glories over the porch, is as surely
an evidence of this refinement of
taste as are the well-laid-Out grounds,
adorned with costly shrubs and trees,
of foreign growth and in well-kept
horticultural gardens.
The common cotton plant and the
plain old sun-flower whose blossoms
ever look to the sun at its rising and
bending, follow it all day long, teach
US that we should be faithful to our
friends and follow with fidelity the
sun of righteousness.
Will there be any flowers in hea-
ven, and whether or not flowers such
as we now know shall grow upon the
fields Of paradise. We do know that
there must be celestial blossoms in
the new heavens, and the new earth,
for when this old world is purified
and renewed, and as in Gods word
promised, made the fit abode of the
sons Of righteousness, then will II
blossom again with the flowers that
aaye not been seen on earth since
Eden ceased 10 bloom.

of approximately one mill lion men. It thus appears that the German army has gained approxi- mately three million men while los ing total of 100000
 That explains the statement lately made by military experts that Ger many, man power alone considered, is far stronger than she was before the commencement of the war.
 As compared to the immense annual increase in the military forces of Ger many the annual troop increments of France are small As is universally known, the French birthrate has been stagnant for years. Mir. Thtney re- ports that the French class of 1918 did not yield over 225,OO0 men and to make up the number it was necessary 10 conscript everyone who could car " a gun.
 An additional note worthy fact is that the two million losses in killed does not represent the total losses. as it does not include the many thou sand others which have been lost to France through being taken prisoners, or permanently disabled or who have died of sickness.

OUR SOLDIERS NEEDED

Just how badly onr troops are need 1 to assist the allies in winning the var is graphically illustrateda by a l comparison of the German andTrench osses in killed. Reports from London dated July give the total list of the German f all the German casualty lists made public since the commencement of Iostilities and discloses that the Ger mans have lost in killed or died of wounds total of 1,032,S00 men. Tn addition they lost a total of 72,960 vho died of sickness. making a grand otal of something like 100000 men.
 As great as this number is, it is ] )ut little more than half of the death osses of the French. No absolutely official figures of the French losses are obtainable but Mr. Fred Pltney | correspondent of the New York Tribune, has given us the nearest ap- proach to the French figures in killed in a series of Illuminating war arti- ales published in that paper.
 He states that the French losses from this cause amount to more than 2,0O0,000 men. As proof of the au- thenticity of these figures Mir. Pltney st afa haf q losses were given him by an officer of the general staff in France the duties of whom relate to that subject, He says:
 l mentioned figures I knew of the losses and killed at various times and asked, referring to the last figures I knew:
 What are the killed now?"
 More than that" he replied, and picking up a paper from his desk, added after studying the paper, "ap- proximately 2,00O,0OO men,"
 The figures prove that the French man power IS fast approaching ex- haustion, if not already exhausted. These figures taken in connection with the official German casualty figures show that the German man power is by no means depleted; show also that Germany is really stronger in man power than at the beginning of the war.
 The total German losses consist of 1,l00,00O men already referred to and 59l ,9G6 men who are missing or have been taken prisoners. Against this grand total of lost man power must be balanced the new bncrements add ed to the German forces from the an- nual entrance into the service of young men fit for military service Tn the last decade the German birthrate has been so large that today there are approximately 1,0OO,00O men available for a military service an- nually. In other words the German army Is increased each year by the

Did Not Jail Man in "a Years.

Thousands of men before him,
charged with various crimes, but not a
man sent to Jail in "a years, was the
record of Squire George McQuiggan,
aged seventy years, who recently died
in local Pittsburgh hospital.
Elected to the office of justice of the
peace of North Versailles township,
Squire McQuiggan was reelected
term after term. Time and again,
when it seemed as if the great record
would be blemished, the squire, noted
for his kindness, would find way to
prevent sending an unfortunate to the
bastile. He made personal appeals to
property holders several times to OBJ
tain bond for an accused person, and
last year, when an italian, charged with
stabbing q fellow-countryman, could
not get bail, McQuiggan personally
gave bond for the accused man.

Saw Government in New Light.


Recently when the first American
mother to receive word that her son
had been buried in France read let
ter from the navy. department, eX-
pressing the deepest sympathy for her
loss she expressed great surprise. Her
son had been drowned when he fell
overheard from an American warship
in French waters, and she had written
the department asking that the body
of her son be returned home for burial.
TO this first war-stricken mother the
government explained why it was I'M
able to grant her request at that time,
but suggested that she bring the mat
ter up at the end of the war. Includ-
ed among documents forwarded to heI
was the speech of tribute of the mayor
Of the French town in which her son
had been buried.
This mother remarked that she had
never thought Of the government as
being able to express sympathy. She
had always thought of 1t as machine
of which her sailor son was q part.
The letters from Washington made it
easier for her. and the knowledge that,
while the soldiers and sailors must
fight as one man, each is kept account
Of as an individual.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer'S Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action. warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it, 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.
