USED TO SWIFT LOCOMOTlON
Travelling, Even Driving Fast Team,
Was Altogether Too Slow for
this Modern Farmer Boy.

Edward S., a hustling young en-
bryo farmer, is in the habit of driving
his fathers automobile and attending
to the family errands with neatness
and dispatch. The other morning,
however, when he went to get the car
out to drive into town there was, with
the exception, perhaps, of few mild.
whispered cuss words, an awful silence
in the garage. The boy tried every
thing in the book and almost every
thing out of ii, but he was finally con-
WINGED that the engine could not be
coaxed, persuaded or bulldozed into
turning over. and very reluctantly he
harnessed Bob and Beauty to the sur
rey for the seven-mile jaunt TO the
county seat.
When he reached the edge of town
very red as to face and very fidgety as
TO feet-he drove up to the nearest
telephone pole that he could see and
stopped. Say" he called out anxious
ly TO the woman who was sweeping
the walk nearby, 'do you care if /
hitch my team here and walk? I'm in
a terrible hurry this morning !"-In-

When hot weather comes, stomach

sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected BY the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature's ice
box, is gone hot weather breeds

Every one knows Gnat the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, "lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
hot weather. 1t is the time when you
have to guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra

NO GRUMBLING AT PRIvATIoN
6ritishers Willing TO Subsist on Short
Rations if That Will Help Win
the War for Liberty.

1t really isn't necessary 20 tell the
British people not to waste food. There
is nothing eatable left on the average
Plate when the meal is finished. Meals
are one interminable round of fish
and eggs, fish and eggs. Eggs are found
disguised under all manner of names,
but always there are eggs, not seven
times a week, but almost 81 times a
week, writes Chester NJ Wright, mem
Der of the American Federation of
Labor mission to England.
Meat is rationed by card system.
So is sugar, of which you may have
six ounces a week and no more. One
of the best hotels in London is serv-
ing butter or margarine only once
daily. Many hotels have none for
days at time.
Desserts are a thing of the past.
recorded in history but not among
the things extant. Milk is rationed.
Tea soon will be. Bread is rationed.
Hotels will serve you with one, brown
roll per meal. The average man would
be amazed at the British menu today,
but the British do not grumble. They
go on short rations knowing that it
must be done, and accept it as part
of the war that must be carried vic
FORWARDS.
Even if it were possible to break
the food restrictions the average Brit
Usher has not the slightest desire to
get more to eat than his neighbOrs.
Especially among the British workers
is there an obvious grim satisfaction
wli.n members OF the American labor
mission and speakers tell how ships
are being rushed to completion in %
states, and how self-denial by the Brit
ish people in matters of food and luXu-
ries make each ton of maximum value
and effect in prosecuting the war to q
finish.
The British workers realize that
more than half their food comes FROM
the United States.
"The less food the mere troops" is
the slogan which appeals especially to
the Clyde ship builders, one of whom
said: IF ships frcm the United
States are laden as far as possible with
soldiers and ammunition, then every
bolt we drive is as good as rifle shot
against the Germans"

Belts for Summer Wear.

Half belts, or quarter belts, or any
thing else but whole belts, are found
on many of the midsummer suits of
crash and linen. They are pieces of
belt, really, that strap over the front
or across the back or on the sides. But
tons and sometimes, too, big buckles,
of duh jet or enamel or polished wood,
are used with these bits of belt that
add a decorative note to coats and

In the senate one day during the

calendar the body received a rude
shock when the clerk read the title
of a bill for public building at
Knoxville, Tennessee.

Everybody turned to a rear seat on
the Republican side and looked with
amazement and some pity upon Sena-
tor Lenroot of Wisconsin. As far
back as the memory of senators and
others connected with the senate goes,
no one ever objected to the considera-
ton of a public-building bill. Public
building bills have always been con-
sidered sacred to senators. They have
been passed as a matter of course, ev-
erybody knowing that when the time
comes all bills of that character will
be finally passed in an omnibus bill
Senator Shields of Tennessee reasoned
with Lenroot, but it was no use. The
Wisconsin senator insisted that cities
in his state were entitled to as much
consideration as Knoxville, and would
not withdraw his objection.

extraordinarily certain politi

regard to the political effect of the

1920, but there are other considera-
tons which are somewhat personal,

the creation of a large crop of Great

cal benefits accordingly.
For years after the Civil war Union

the South only men who had Confeder-
