Ii il the children of school age, and
the young folks going away TO school
that claim attention in August. Early
in September they begin another years
work and must be QUILTED with
clothes for the first quarter of the
school year at least and often for
half of 1t.
The early display of clothing Is a
great help to those mothers who under
take to have their children's clothes
made at home. II is probably quite as
economical to buy little cotton dresses
ready made as to make them at home !;
but in homemade garments individual
taste can be brought into play and
more handwork and "stltchery" used
than can be had In moderately priced
frocks bought ready made.
Besides, remodellng is an item in
wartime economy that every mother
should eeRsIsIef. All WOODEN frocks that
are either remodeled for the children
or handed on to some one who can
wear them save the consumption Of
energy, and this is patriotic service
that is worth while.
Blue serGe-the never falling-is
featured in the new displays. Some
times it Is combined with heavy linen

FRENCH TAPE HOLDS RELICS
Relatives Of Fallen Heroes Complain
Of Delays in Getting
Effects.

Paris.-Complaint has been lodged
against the bureau in the Rue Lacre-
telle where relatives of men fallen in
battle go to get the few sad relics the
heroes left-their papers, their
watches, their little keepsakes. All
the effects of men killed or missing
are sent to this bureau.
The complaint is that there Is inter-
minable delay, and efforts are being
made to speed 1t up.

HIS PREFERENCE.

ut is the drug effect of alcohol for
which beer and wine are drunk. There
are palatable non-alcoholic drinks
made from grains and fruits that do
not produce the harmful results Of al
cohoI. If the drlnker does not desire
the drug effect, he will use such
drinks. If he prefers beer and wines,
he prefers them for the drug effect Of
alcohols to the danger of the tenn
porary or permanent injury which this
drug infliets.- Steddard. :

Were dry as anything.

hides behind the camoufage of patriot
ism. He goes over the country max.
ing patriotic speeches to audiences,
and then knifes the government when
ever he has an opportunity to inject
his poisonous venom in private con-
versation. Or perhaps he hides be-
hind large purchases of Liberty Bonds.
He doesn't lose anything at that. Per-
haps he is one of the first to subscribe
to thd Red Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A.
and one of the last to pay, if he pay
at all. :

by dirty work accomplishes his pur-
pose; when there are hundred boys
with better grounds for exemption
who are already on the firing line and
in the camps, from his own county.
How much respect have you for
this kind of patriotism?
Such man is yellow dog Stacker,
and to class him with Hun would b. |
to elevate him thousand degree.
He is yellow, not as the jasamine
which gives it's fragrance to the

striped Jaguar which is ever ready to

battles of life; not as the yellow clay
which helps hold the world together:
