of infantile paralysis two years ago,

He has proved that normal noses

To the brain, while diseased noses do

URGED BY EXPERTS
Specialists Tell How to Get
Most Food for the Money
Expended.

Do you Know how to get the most
food for your money in these days Of
the high cost of living?
II you do not, or if you are seek
ing to improve your methods, scan
these tips from experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Use cereals (flOur, meals, cereal
breakfast foods, etc.) freely, taking
pains to prepare them with great
care and to vary the kind used from
day to day, if necessary, to keep peo-
pie from firing of them.
Remember that a quart of whole
milk a day for each child, to be used
asa beverage and in cookery, is not
too much.
Plan carefully both in buying and
in serving.
Do not be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food means providing enough
food, neither too little nor too much.
GauEIng Food Quantities.
Notice carefully how much of such
staples as flour, sugar, milk, cooking
fat, ETC., is used each week for a
month, and see IL there are any ways
of cutting down the Quentity needed.
Buy non-perishable materials in
quantities if better prices can be Sc
cured and there is a good storage
place in the home. Neighbors can
sometimes club together to get lower
rates.
Estimate carefully how much of any
material will be needed before laying
in a supply; then see that none is
wasted by careless handling.

SOLDIER RISKS LIFE,
WINS NURSE AS BRIDE
Private, Injured In Burning Build
ing, WEEDS Girl Who Took
Care of Him.

New York.-His heroism in rushing
into a burning building and extinguish
ing the blaze may result in causing
Leo Heck. member of Company 81,
Seyenty-irst regiment, national guard,
to undergo an operation at Bellevue
hospital, but it also brought him
bride The girl in the case is Miss
Helen Maud Lymer. a nurse, of Toron-
to. They were married at Hamilton,
Ontario
Heck was In a military camp up
state when he saw a fire in big
dwelling house. While he was fight
ing the blaze In the third story the
floor gave way and he fell to the floor
below. He was taken to a hospital
near by, where Miss Lymer, who was
employed there. was assigned to nurse
him.
Before he left the hospital the pa.
tient and his nurse had fallen In love.
Heck recently came to Bellevue hos
pital on furlough to consult doctors
and was told that an operation proba-
bly, would be necessary.
While awaiting an X ray examina-
ton he learned that his flancee had
gone to Hamilton to serve as nurse In
a hospital for wounded British sol
diers.
Heck left for Hamilton on the first
train. and the pair were married by
the Rev. W. b. Figle of the Hamilton
Baptist church. Heck has returned
here for the y ray examination.

COWBELLS SAVE CHERRIES.
Farmer Rugged a Water Wheel on
Wife's Churn to Ring Them.

Redding. Cal.-W. A. Bull Of lgo has
saved his big cherry crop with cowbells
operated by a waterwheel.
Bull has an orchard up South Fork
creek His cherries ripened, but as
fast as they matured birds picked them
off. Bull rugged up some ordinary
scareorows. They did well enough for
a day or so, or until the wise birds de-
tected the fraud.
As a last resort Bull tied several
cowbells in the treetops and to the
thinkers attached strings, which he
ierked from his front porch. The cow
bells jangling scared the birds away
all right and bid fair to save the cherry
crop but Bull got tired of jerking the
strings all day long.
Now he has water wheel that runs
his wife's churn. SO Bull attached the
strings to the churn dasher. As the
water wheel went its rounds the churn
dasher bobbed up and down, and the
cowbells kept up their jangling in the
treetops all day long. The birds were
scared away effectually, and Bull saved
his cherry crop.

HE WALKS MILES TO
ENLIST IN CAVALRY
National Guardsman, Broke, Couldn't
Arrange For His Final Discharge.

San Antonio, Tex.--Grover c. Weems.
twenty-one years OF age, member OF
Company NJ. Second Florida regiment
of the national guard, reached San An
tonic the other day on foot, having
walked all the way from Miami, Fla,
to secure his final discharge from the
militia and join the regular army.
He walked, he said, because he want
ed to transfer to the regular army,
was broke and couldn't arrange for his
final discharge from the company with
out coming here.
He was arrested four times on the
road-at Monroe, La; at Jewett, Tex;
near Gulfport. Miss, and at Pasca-
goula, La. While he wore his national
guard uniform, he was arrested twice
on suspicion that he had deserted. He
was arrested twice for failure to reg
lister.
He was released each time after
showing that he was a member OF
Company NJ. Second Florida infantry,
mustered out March II and held in re-
serve. He had the misfortune to be
arrested once at Jewett, Tex, while
stopping there to visit young lady
to whose father he was persona non
grata.
The people along the way, he said,
treated him right. He was well fed
and frequently given a lift by auto
lists.

FRENCH HAIL UNITED STATES.

Declare That Entry Of America Is
Companion Piece to Marine Victory
In Assuring Defeat of Germans-Fi-
nanees of France In Splendid Shape,
Says Joseph Thierry
Paris.-Niltarism, the great enemy
of progress, actually has been MORALLY
wounded by war itself. This summa
rizes the progress of the last three
years, according to Paul Painleye, the
minister of war. in reviewing the war.
Minister Painleye's summary follows:
"Three years of war! Imagination
at first .conjures up mourning and DEM
onstration. However we dare to say
that humanity has progressed during
these three years. The great enemy of
all progress, militarism, actually has
been wounded MORALLY by war itself.
The ideal of the nations of peace ex-
presses itself very precisely against
the brutality of nations of conquest
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-08-17

and gains little throughout the entire
world. Despite the yicissitudes this
ideal will triumph.
"While the curve of German force
has sunk, the curve of the strength of
the allies has risen year by year, and
the entrance of the United States into
the war has given it sudden and for
midable impetus. Germany's fate is
determined.
"Henceforth France particularly can
show with elation its balance of the
last three years Bleeding, still in
vaded, she Is not only greater and more
glorious, but she is stronger militarily
and politically than on Aug. ., 1914. Ii
Germany, stripped of its hegemony,
ruined in its commerce and reduced to
an alliance with several groups of ad-
venturers, today compares itself to
France it will show what three years
of war have cost it."
Joseph Thierry, minister of finance,
said:
"On the third year of its entry into
the war France has the right to assert
that it has maintained and is main
tanning its financial situation in a shape
that no one would in advance have CON
sidered possible had one been able to
foresee the duration and development
of the conflict
"In addition to maintaining mill
tary effort without pecedent in history
and without analogy in present times
In addition to the mobilization of its
active population in larger proportion
than any other people, in addition to
having submitted and submitting still
to the invasion of parts of its territory,
it has raised its fiscal receipts to a
point which at present constantly ex-
ceeds its peace time product"
