There is an alley with a gutter down

to a woman who was making short

This is the Atlantic ocean ana TINS

woman standing before that stone wal!
with her arms tied and handkerchie!
over her eyes? Well. she's q spy. II
you wait a minute till the firing squad
comes up you can see her shot, II you

The woman spy, who must have neen
every day of four years old and VINO
masked her iniquities in pink ging-
ham slip and bob curls, posed smli-
ingly against the fence, with one eye
peeking over her bandage-out, a,ask

lined up, took aim and the victim,
terrorized by the grim make-beiieve OF
childhood, which is one of the most
real things in this world, yelled out
as the officer lifted a handkerchief and
the squad shouted, Bang"
But she played the game like a little
sport and fell according to schedule.
In recognition of SO truly thrillful a
performance, the short-cutter treated
the dead spy. to a ginger snap out OF
a paper bag, and, by way of cur
rency. paid tribute to the collector of
thiff lamps. 1t was an unwise pro-

the war zone the captain of the squad
held her up--with his gun.

 My doctor told me to use Cardui. I took one bottle, which helped me and after my baby came, I was stronger and better, but the pain was still there.
 I at first let 1t go, but began to get weak and in rundown condition. so I decided to try some mora Cardui, which I did.
 This last Cardui which I took made me much better, in fact, cured me. It has been a number of years, still have no return of this trouble.
 I feel 1t was Cardui that cured me, and I recommend it as a splendid fe- male tonic"
 Don't allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure y help you, as it has so many thou sanos of other women in the past 70 years. Headache, backache, sideache, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out feeling, are all signs of womanly trou- ble. Other women get relief by taking Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.

that the Chinese of all classes "res- bonded nobly"
 America was the first nation to solicit the active participation of the Chinese in war relief work.
 We secured a good strong com mittee of younger Chinese headed by (. T. Wong, former vice president of the Chinese senate" Mir. Arnold said. Eight teams were organized under team captains, who were
 American college graduates. These Chinese teams worked hard and 25,- 600 Chinese were added to tie Red Cross membership from Shanghai and environs.
 "P. K. Che. secretary of the Chi nese Worlds Students Confederation, carried off the honors for his team for the largest number Of members secured. Gnu Chi Chien, former Min ister Of the Interior. piled up 1000 members 10 his credit. Chang Chien. former minister of commerce and agriculture, added a good number Of members.
 There was also a Chinese wo- mans team, headed by beautiful Chi nese girl graduates from American colleges. This team secured over 2,000 memberships. Many Chinese schools in Shanghai joined as junior auxiliaries.
 "A number of large Chinese com panies joined with their entire staffs The Commercial Press with 2OO0 em- ployes came in loo per cent. One de- partment store, arranged that all its employees receiving less than SIS a month should have 60 per cent of the membership fees paid by the firm, so that all the members of this large concern went about with Red Cross buttons during the drive. The Shang- hai hotels also joined, with every waiter, bell boy and coolie, wearing a Red Cross with pride.
 "The captain of one of the Chinese teams expressed surprise at the gem eral response of the poorer classes to the Red Cross appeal. It was no un- common occurrence to have coolie on the street answer request to join with such remarks as:
 America has always been the friend of China. She gave back to China the Boxer indemnity and did other things to help us. Now I am glad to join the American Red Cross and help America
 "A poor man, receiving wages of less than Sl0 a month, sent us from Ningpo, 100 miles south of Shanghai, by courier post, not knowing that China has a modern postal adminis- ration. at a cost of Is cents for de- livery and 15 cents for return re- ,eipts.

BREAD DRAT|ON|NG IN STATE ENDS
 ON SEPT. 1ST

FLAGSTAFF, Sept ?. - The first trench in inc food saving campaign
 has been gained and as usual Ari-
 zona has gone over the top, leading
 the conservation forces of the nation
 in the saving of wheat Joyous tid- ings have been brought back from
 the front by Herbert Hoover that a
 sufficient surplus of wheat has now been accumulated to make longer un- necessary the limit of six pounds per person per month.
 A new. wheat conservation program went into effect September 1, which will not only dispense with the six
 pound limit. but will do away with the card rationing plan operated in
 Arizona, the only state in the Union to adopt this measure to secure a
 fair and equitable distribution Of wheat flour and other products.
 That the ration-card plan has been the means of placing Arizona at the head of the wheat saving forces is the claim of the federal food administra- tor for this state, who asserts that the saving effected has resulted in the release of millions of pounds for war export. Three million pounds of this amount represents Arizona wheat milled by Arizona flour mills and shipped direct to France, and the balance of the total IS flour releas- cd to the Allies which under normal conditions would have been shipped into the state.
 Under the Arizona system 1t IS pointed out. consumption of wheat has been actually limited to six pounds per person while in other states this could not possibly be accomplished, no matter how patriotic the people as a whole, for there is always a cer- tain class that cannot be controlled under a voluntary system.
 The principal feature of the new wheat program is that the fifty-fiity regulations are replaced by those calling for the use of twenty per cent substitutes only. These substi- tutcs are to be mixed with the wheat flour in manufacture, but until this new "Victory" flour is placed on the market, flour must be sold with either corn meal. corn flour or bar ley flour in the proportion ot one pound of the latter to four of flour.
 No dealer will be allowed to force other substitutes upon the consumer, although such substitutes as milo maize flour and meal, rec flour, potato flour and bucLwheat flour may be sold as substitutes in the same proportion if the customer elects and tho dealer has the same in stock.
 Rye flour and meal may be sold as substitute in the proportion of two pounds to three of flour. Whole wheat and graham flour containing D5 per cent of the wheat berry may be sold without substitutes.
 These rules apply to all custom and exchange transactions as well as sales to farmers.
 The rationing of bread by restau- rants will be discontinued.
 \The previous rules limiting millers, wholesale and retail dealers and bal'- CTS to 30 days supply of flour have been changed to permit a sixty days supply.
 The rules limiting the sales of flour 70 wholesalers and retailers to 70 per ,ent of previous sales have been
