MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock Of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take q spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an Old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
so years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcOt-
lc. 1t is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
in ready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for a vial to DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What Is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat Coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DIR. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to
Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and
Eurgical Institute in Buffalo, N 7.

MORTALITY RATE IS LOW
Statistician Refutes Statements That
War Is Causing Heavy Loss
Among Allies.

Observation-Disclosures A. Woods, life
insurance expert and statistician, after
an exhaustive study of mortality In
the present war, has compiled statis-
tics to refute the widely circulated
statements that the war is causing a
frightful loss of life on the side of the
allies.
"Timely and scientific medical treat
ment has reduced the rate Of mortal
ity in the present war to lower per-
centage than that Of all great wars"
says Mr.. Woods.
"More than 80 per cent of the SOL
diers put under the care of physicians
and surgeons have been able to return
to the firing line.
Gan American soldier, twenty years
of age, who Is now in the trenches, has
the same chance Of being alive at the
end of the war, If 1t lasts year or SO
longer, as a man of sixty in civil life
has of living the same length Of time"

London.-Two German officers re-
Gently handled more than dozen cases
of confidential British dispatches. but
they did not know it.
The story is one Of the many adven-
turous incidents which befall that Sc
lect body of British public servants
who wear silver greyhound in their

messengers. Many imagine that any
one who carries dispatches for the
British government is kings messen-

only five men who hold commissions in
that service. The others are merely
admiralty couriers or war office cour-
lers and have nd right to the higher

Precocious Youth Kills Himself
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to Be His
Lies Sole Desire and
Happiness.

LOndon.-Few cases Of suicide In
recent years have attracted as much
attention as that of Master Arthur
Easterbrook, precocious son of a re-
tired colonel in the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing in chemistry, to which he was de-
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed it, there was an
insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
A letter left by the boy is as follows:
'To whOmsoever shall find this:
"Today will be my last day on this
planet. / cannot stand the prospects
of what is coming, so good-by, chemis-
try, my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward I cannot
tell, but hope that my spirit will
travel to another planet and God will
forgive and let me have another
chance.

NeufchateI and cream cheese, two
OF the group known as soft cheese now
made almost exclusively in factories
with extensive equipment, can be made
at home. The method is simple and
does not require elaborate equipment.
1t offers an excellent opportunity for
the disposal of surplus milk OIL the
farm and enables farm housewives to
make Il fresh, wholesome und Mttrac-
tive food ut home.
Neufchatel cheese should be made
from whole milk that tests about A
per cent, and cream cheese from milk
testing 9 per cent butterfat. Both are
made in this way: To a quantity Of
30 pounds, or 311a gallons OF milk, add
q pint of good starter or clean-favered
SOUR milk and. stir well. Warm the
milk to between 80 to SO degrees o..
Then add about eight drops of rennet
which has previously been dissolved;
in IL eupful OF cold water Stir In
thoroughly and set the milk aside to
curdle. Powdered pepsin (one-half
the size of q pea) or one-third of q
junlset tablet may be used in place of
the rennet.. The cheese may be made

After 16' to 18. hours. the time usual
" necessary for proper eurdling, pour
the milk into a drain cloth and allow
to drain from two to four hours or
until practically no whey drips from
the cloth. Then place the bag of curd
between two clean boards, put Il 80:
pound weight upon. 1t and let 1T stand
for six or eight hours. Remove the
curd from the cloth to pail. Sprinkle
two level teaspoonfuls of fine salt over
it, and thoroughly mix with n potato

consistency. Running the cheese
through a food chopper or working it
with a butter worker produces. the
