Stretching the Supply.

When you order load of coal from
your dealer nowadays the driver has
instructions to inspect your supply be-
fore he gives the new consignment OF
fuel to YOU. One woman yesterday
asked for two tons when her bin was
almost filled to the top. When the
driver told her she would not receive
the coal she had just ordered she
grew somewhat indignant, but she
cooled off when she was informed that
the supply was getting lower every
hour and that the coal that she had
ordered would be delivered to some
house where the amount on hand was
considerably smaller.

toms that l know Of &c. A.

AdenOids or Rhinitls7
Our little girl takes cold in her nose
every time she goes out in the wind.
She breathes noisily, with her mouth
open, when she is asleep. She usually
has harsh barking coughing spell for
a little time when she first goes to bed
at night. She is 31s years old. What
can We do to relieve her? (Mrs. L. ].
W.
Answer-No, she doesn't take cold
in her nose when she goes out. She
takes what she takes indoors, where
the air is still and warm-or foul,
When she goes out, her chronically
congested and infiamed nasal lining
chat means rhinitis) fails to respond
to the altered environment, and her
nose clogs up and runs. This alone
would account for noisy mouth breath
ing at night-in sleep the spongy bod
les in the nose naturally relax. The
trickling backward into the throat
of mucus from the nose would explain
the hard brassy cough on first lying
down. Drop few drops Of warm
liquid petrolatum in each nostril when
she goes to, bed. Better household and
personal hygiene would prevent such
trouble. Better have the doctor ex-
anime for adenQids and rhiuitis,

WHEN WILL THE WAR END?

The popular conception of the end of the war
is the signing of an armistice peace protocol,
followed by fireworks, joy-bells, peace celebra-
tons, and the immediate cessation of all hosti-
ties.
AS matter of fact wars in the past have
rarely, if ever, ended in this way, and it is I'M
likely that conflict such as the present one will
terminate like stage play
1t is recalled that although the peace treaty
that nominally ended the Crimean War was
signed on March 20, 1856, stubbornly contested
battle was fought May 2 between Russian and
Turkish troops Kars, the commanders on
both sides afterwards processing complete ignor-
ance of the fact of the war having been con-
Guided.
Similarly, our own great civil war was virtually
ended on April 9, 1865, with the surrender at
Appomattox. Yet on May 8, nearly a month
later, there was desperate fighting in Alabama,
and it was not until the 25th of the same month
that the final engagement was fought in Texas.
AS a matter of fact the present war will end,
like all the other that have preceded it,
when the last shot is fired; no sooner and no
later. Meanwhile, however official proclamations
are likely to emanate from the Allied Govern
ments defining the exact date when hostilities
are to be officially considered as having ceased.
1t is to be borne in mind that so many i'm
portant legal and other questions hinge upon that
little phrase, "For the duration of the war;, that
it will be necessary to define it exactly-if need
be even by act of Congress- In recent report
OF Select Committee on Emergency Legislation
in Great Britain, it was recommended that the
lend of the war should be held to be the date
when the treaty of peace is finally binding on the
respective belligerents-tha is, the date when
notifications of the treaty are exchanged or de-
posted.

ENCOURAGE THE CHILDREN

There is no more important matter for the
farmers Of Florida to consider than that of get
ting improved livestock, says the State Market
ing Bureau. All conditions favor livestock in this
State There is no protracted cold weather to put
a strain vitality. The season to grow feed is
long. There is plenty of water. Get few pigs,
a few sheep, few goats, and few calves.
The most important preparations for the COM
ing year and for future years will be start
of livestock so that you may raise animals for
sale instead of depending entirely on titled crops
In this way you will do as the manufacturer does,
sell finished products instead of the raw ma
terials as the cotton farmer does. The man that
sells cotton, corn or hay sells fertility at low
prices, whereas the seller of beef, pork, mutton,
product when he raises the raw materials, con-
sequently fertility is saved.
1t is said that land on the Isle of Jersey, in
the British channel rents for $50 to $50 per acre
annually. Land in France, Denmark and Holland
often sells for from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre.
Dairying and raising dairy animals is about the
only occupation that pays on such high-priced
land Even in this country the highest priced
land is most profitable used in dairying and live
stock raising.
There is great scarcity Of livestock in Europe
on account of the awful war. That scarcity will
last for long time, and this country will be
looked to for livestock and meat products. This
is an opportunity for Florida and America.
Encourage the boys by giving them a chance
with young animals to care for. It will increase
their interest in farm life. The feeling of owner
ship is a strong 1t imposes responsibility
