Education Work.

Help keep the boys in school" IS the be the slogan this year of the club women of Massachusetts, Mrs. Herbert J. Gurney, president of the Massachu- setts Federation of WOmen's Clubs, having formed a plan of service that seems admirable, says an exchange. Club women throughout the state will keep in touch with the high schools in their vicinity. When 1t is discovered that a boy has left school, the club women, informed to that effect by the teachers, will investigate the matter. If it Is matter of money that makes it necessary for the boy to leave, the club women will provide the money from their own funds. They consider it a matter of preparedness to see that the yonug men of the future have the advantage of the schools of today.

You'll Be Sorry

There is no worse folly nor one more certain of distressing consequence than to neglect cold. If it leaves "a cough that hangs on, it threatens you with most serious condition.
 Foley's Honey and Tar gives the curative influence of the pine balsam, together with the modifying effect of the honey and other healing ingredients. It stops the cough. eases the sore feeling in the chest, and raises phlegm easily. It imparts a pleasant feeling of warmth and comfort.
 :. J. D. Enterkin. Winston. Ga, writes:-- "Foley's Honey and Tar took all the soreness away and cleared my lungs of all congestion"

AN OLD APPEAL

One of the bravest and most gal
liant struggles for national liberty in
all the history of the world was the
war for the independence of the Meth
erlands against Philip II of Spain.
William of Orange-William the ST.
lent-led his people through years Of
war to ultimate victory, though he
did not live to see that great result.
In unselfish devotion to his people and
his country, in courage and ability,
he stands in the annals of his country
as Washington stands in ours. OF
him it was said by Motley, the histor-
ian, "When he died the little children
cried in the streets"
The great and powerful United
States arrayed against Germany is in
no such condition as was the Neither
lands Confederacy arrayed against
the power of Spain, yet the Prince OF
Oranges appeal to the Dutch people
to give financial support to the cause
of liberty possesses a timely Interest
when the United States Government
is asking the American people to give
their financial aid to their government
III ILLS WAL lCI llDSI " III IIlC "VLtu'
The Prince of Orange in his address
to the inhabitants of the Netherland
used these words:
"Let not a sum of gold be so dea
to you, that for it's sake you will sac
rifce your lives, your wives, your chill
dren, and all your descendants, to tn
latest generations; that you will brini
sin and shame upon yourselves, an
destruction upon us who have s.
heartily striven to assist you. Thin
what scorn you will incur from for
eign nations, what crime you vii
commit against the Lord God, wha
a bloody yoke we will impose foreve
upon yourselves and your children, i
you now seek for subterfuges; if yol
now prevent US from taking the fell
with the troops which we have enlist
ed. On the other hand, what mex
pressible benefits will you confer o.
your country, if you now help us t
rescue that fatherland from the pow
er of our enemies"

SOLDIER INSURANCE

One of the uses to which it is pro-
posed to devote part of the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to af-
ford to our soldiers and sailors life
and indemnity insurance and to pro
vide for allowances to their depend
emit families while they are in the
ranks. On this point Secretary Nc
Adoo of the Treasury, whose plan OF
insurance for our fighting men was en-
dorsed by President Wilson, and is
now embodied in law pending before
Congress, says:
every soldier and sailor who serv-
es his country in this war will earn
everything the proposed war insur-
ance bill provides; to be beneficiary
of the proposed law will be a badge OF
honor.
"When we draft wage Garner, we
call not only him but the entire fam
lily to the flag; the sacrifice entailed
is not divisible. The wife and chill,
dren, the mother, the father, are all
involved in the sacrifice-they directly
bear the burden of defense. They suf-
fer just as much as the soldier, but
in different way, and the nation must
generously discharge as a proud priv
ilege the duty of maintaining them
until the soldiers and sailors return
from the war and resume the respon-
sibility.
eve have drawn the sword to vindi-
cate Americas violated rights, to re-
store peace and justice, and to secure
the progress of civilization. We can
not permit our soldiers, while they
hold the front, to be stabbed in the
back by uncertainty as to what is be-
ing done for their loved ones at home
Our tomorrows are in their hands
theirs in ours. The national conscience
will not permit American soldiers and
their dependents to go unprovided
with everything that just, generous
and noble people can do to compensate
them for the sufferings and sacrifices
they make to serve their country"

TO FIND YOUR BUYER, MAKE
IT EASY FOR YOUR
BUYER TO FIND YOU

You have property to sell. You
know that somewhere in the city is a
man to whom that property would
appeal strongly. Perhaps there are
many such men-but in the group of
"possible buyers" for your property
there is ONE MAN to whom it would
be especially valuable. To this man
it would represent the successful end
of his search. 1t is what he wants,
what he needs, what he is going to
keep on looking for until he finds it.
If you knew who this man is you
could make a prompt sale of your
property. But you don't know him.
You have no clue. So far as you are
concerned he is lost in the crowd,
There is one chance in a million that
he may happen to find out about
your property through somebody else;
It is too long chance. YOU MUST
FIND HIM.
He reads the real estate advertise
ments-of that you may be sure. He
NAV have read an advertisement OF
YOUR PROPERTY-bu failed to
having identified it as WHAT HE is
LOOKING FOR through your OWL
failure to describe it adequately.
You can find him by making it easy
for him to find you. 1t will not be
easy for him to find you unless you
tell him all about your property-an-
swer, in your advertisement, All Of
his probable questions about it. Iii
you do that, in your advertisement
you will find yourself in DIRECT
COMMUNICATION WITH HIM.

The way things look now, Neb Will

GARDNER WILL NOT LET
{ STATE PAY HIS EXTRAS

Jefferson City, Sept. 26.-(Special)
The discovery was made in the au-
ditor's Office today that in more than
seven months Gov. Gardner has been
in Office he has not charged the State
a cent for current expenses. He will
not even use a, postage stamp from
his office supplies without accounting
for it, nor will he permit telegram
or telephone charge to be put against
the State unless it is directly State
business. The State appropriated
funds for the upkeep of the Govern
or's automobile, but he will not touch
this money. ga aa.
Neither has the Governor charged
the State for travelling or hotel ex-
penses, although he kas made several
trips on purely State business that
could properly have been charged to
the State and saved him several hun
dred dollars.

2s CENTS A DAY FEEDS SOLDIER

Uncle Sam has written generous
menus for his fighting men on land
and on sea and if the regulations
which he has prescribed are followed
his soldiers and sailors need never
go hungry. He provides approximate
" 20 cents day to buy food for each
one of his soldiers, and like allow
ance is made for his sailors, says
Popular Science Monthly.
To the housekeeper who has to
contend with wartime prices of food
stuffs this sum seems entirely made
uuate, but it must be remembered
that Uncle Sam buys his supplies in
ton lots and not by the pound.
The fixed allowance or portion of
food furnished soldier or sailor each
day is called ration. 1t consists of
specified components or substitutive
articles. There may be an over issue
of any ration component, provided
there is an under issue of equal value
of other components; but the total
cost of mans rations at the end of a
month must not exceed the average
of the daily allowances for that Pc
riod.
In garrison or permanent camp, a
soldiers allowance of food consists Of
the following components and quanti-
ties, or specified quantities of substi-
tutes: Beef, 20 ounces; flour, 13 ounc-
es; baking powder, .08 ounce; beans
"a ounces; potatoes, 20 ounces
prunes, 1.28 ounce; coffee, 1.12 ounce
sugar, 80 ounces; evaporated milk
5 ounces; vinegar, .16 gill; salt, 81
ounces; black pepper, .04 ounces; Gin
anon, OLA ounce; lard, "a ounce; but.
ter, S ounce; strip, .32 gill, and fla.
voring extract, Ola ounce.
A number of substitutive articles
are provided for each of the ration
components. For instance, instead Of
the 20 ounces of beef, like quantity
of mutton may be supplied, or l:
ounces of bacon, i6 ounces Of canned
meat, ID of dried fish or other meal
substitutes. Instead of the bean com
ponent, 1.16 ounce or either rice OF
hominy may be supplied.
Prescribed quantities of dried ap
pies or peaches or of jam and pre-
serves may be substituted for tn
prunes. The reserve ration is les
varied.
