When Things Are New.

A Seattle paper tells of young
fellow from Alaska who has been
seeing the city for the first time.
He is twenty-three years old, was
born and reared in Alaska, and until
the other day when he landed in this;
country, he had never seen a sky
scraper, nor any other building butt
Of brick of concrete. He had never
seen a paved street. nor a passenger
elevator, nor a drawbridge. He had
never attended a vaudeville show, a
movie theatre nor eaten in restaur-
ant where there was a cabaret.
But don't waste your sympathy ON
this young man. Rather he Is to be
congratulated. His delight Will be
greater than any we can know. His
interest i'm life itself will be enhanced
! beyond what we can hope to reach.
|. To contemplate the things still in
store for him, and to recall how few
things are in store for the rest of 'ls

Everyone Can Help.

Are you willing to have better
times? If so, talk good times and
you may be able to convey the same
spirit to some poor respondent NOR
tal Our manner of business has a
great deal to do with the times, for
the times, as the expression is COM
monty used, are very much what We
make them. The poor, miserable
hypocrondriac is never satisfied. He
imagines the whole business world is
wrong and is always looking for a
panic or some unforeseen evil, and
constitutes to a very large measure
the GROWER. There is never any good
cheer in his business house, and the
very goods on his own shelves be-
speak it; when you have dealt with
him you feel more like you have at
tended funeral than anything else.
While on the other hand, we all like
to deal with a cheerful, bright, hap
Ply, business man; you always feel
better after you have met him. This
life of ours is full of sunshine and
bright spots and all you have to do
is to gather it in. 1t is free, God
given privilege; therefore, don't shut
out the sunlight by burying yourself
in a dark and gloomy cave of de-
spondency, but be cheerful, happy
and hopeful, and by so doing cast a
few bright, cheerful rays of hope in
the darkened path of some fellow
being.

Another CONSUMPTION Needed.

Quite as important in the world
war as the military campaigns Of
the various belligerents was the star
Tatien campaign of each group i'll
The fighting.
The blockade system of the Allies
was frightened gradually in an effort
to starve Germany, and in this way
force her into peace. 1t entailed
tremendous suffering upon the Teu-
tonic people, food was scarce and we
do not doubt but that thousands
went hungry in the Kaiser's empire.
The submarine campaign was
launched primarily with an idea of
starving Great Britain, and this l.;
just as dangerous as the prevention
of transportation towards the war
fields of France. Great Britain will
not be starved, but food regulations
are becoming more and more string
Eent as ship bottoms become scarcer
The recent peace between Germany
and Ukarine seem to mean that the
starvation campaign against the
KAISER has been check-mated. With
Russia and Ukarine provision has
been made in the last peace arrange
nents that huge supplies of food
will be shipped into Germany, and
other countries allied with her. If
this is done, there can be no danger
of starving them out.
The campaign against Great Brit
ala continues. The submarine is still
sinking merchant vessels badly need
ed and the question of feeding the
British people, supplying our armies
In France, and transporting war ma
ferial to the armies on the western
front is becoming more and more
vital. The only dependable answer
to 1T is the building of ships-more
and more of them than ever before.
The government is calling for car
penters, and other labOrers, for the
,shipyards. 1t is call as important
as the demand for men between 81
and so years for the active military
duties. If it is not answered volun-
Garily, CONSUMPTION of this labor will,
aud must, inevitably follow. Let's
have no hesitation on this question
If the labor doesn't volunteer, pass

DON'T DELAY.
Some Paris People Have Learned
That Neglect is Dangerous.

The slightest symptoms of kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
small of your back; that urinary
iIregularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak, weary, worn
out feeling, may be natures warning
of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms?

there is yet time-begin treating

A "CANTEEN" IN FRONT LINE

A front line canteen service for
American soldiers has been inaugur-
ated by the American Red Cross.
Hot drink station No. / for the
American troops is placed at cen
trail point behind the American artil-
lery, within walking distance of the
communicating trenches, within hr
ing distance of the German guns and
within gas mask distance of the Ger
man gas. 1t is the last point where
the soldiers halt going into the
trenches and the first coming out.
Here, in little kitchen tucked be-
meath unobtrusive walls of sandbass
and cement, the Red Cross workers
will serve steaming drinks to the
mud stained, tired fighters. And at a
telephone word from the trenches
big Norwegian heaters will be filled
with hot bouillon, and two men car
rying a heater on a pole will go for
ward, past the artillery, though the
communicating trenches into the
front lines.
With the French the American
Red Cross has had twenty-five such
stations. Sometimes the workers liv-
ed in dugouts, often they wore gas
masks. One has a denied helmet
which makes clear how near he came
to going West" To the poilus more
than a million hot ratiOns have been
served by the Red Cross front SER
vice. The work is hard and long and
the hours ungOdly.
1t is a splendid service for any NAH
not in the army, a. man with nervA,
energy and intelligence. There is no
finer. All preparations have been
made to add nine new front kitchens
to Station No. 1, and as fast as they
are called for and as fast as the kind
of men needed for the work are oh
tanned, the service will grow. There
is no longer any reason for man
who cannot get into the army to sigh
for action. He can get all he wants
in the Red Cross front line service.

IF I WERE A FARMER

physician such as Chamberlain's Co,ic

coughs, colds and groups.

bruises and rheumatic pains.

only $1.10. By having these arti-
Giles at hand it would often save the

HANG OUT THE BANNER THIS

The Third Liberty Loan campaign
is on. The people of Paris are urg-
ed to renew their pledge to the
country and to their flag. Everyone
is to be urged to hang out the flags
at their homes and business houses
this week.
When the war with Germany was
declared one year ago last Saturday
Paris (Ky.) was decorated with flags
Nearly every business house AMI
every home in the city displayed a
flag of some size. They have entirely
disappeared now, and only occasion
ally is Old Glory seen on business
house Or home.
The loyal people of Paris hope that
the other people will show their pa
triotism by hanging out new flags.
There is no more patriotic city in
America than Paris. Let's show our
patriotism by hanging out new flags.
