AS HAVE OTHER HUN THINGS
Man Complains That His German Made Clock Has Completely Gone
 to the Bad.

My old alarm clock has gone to nor it may not interest you, but up at our home the fact that the alarm clock wouldn't go any more was an event of interest. It was ticking away on the shelf at a quarter to II the night of July IT. 1 took it up to wind it. One twist, and-ruttletebank, sss boom nh. Something went all to pieces in the works.
 More twists, shaking, putting the clock to ear and final determination that it was done for. thought to look 1t over before depositing it in the ash can. On the back vas scratched the month and day of the purchase in 1912. 1 was looking on the face for the last time and studying 1t closely. Then down at the bottom I saw in small letters: "NIade in Germany" There 1t had been ticking away on the shelf year after year, sounding It's alarm regularly, and yet never before had noticed that detested inscription. Probably if had 1t would have gone into the ash can long before.
 Just like lot of other Made in Germany" things that we didn't know were around until we found them out. But the old German clock Is busted, the works have gone to smash, 1t has sounded its last alarm, and as I medi- tated on 1t I thought how true of everything else "Made in Germany" including the juggernaut war machine, 40 years in the building with which the kaiser was to ride untrammeled over all the rest of the world. The works lis busted."-E. E. K., in Syra- cuse Post-Standard.

'rYPIFIEs SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Brave Thirteen-Year-OId Girl, With Two Small Brothers, Doing All
 the Work on Farm.

When the work in your war gar den seems tedious and you straighten your aching back and look lOngingly toward the inviting shade of the trees or toward the arm chair on the awning covered porch; when you mutter to yourself that it will not matter much whether the weeds do choke the beet patch--it may help you to finish your task if you call to mind d story told in "My War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King Washington.
 In a village near ours, says the au- thor, girl of thirteen is running the farm. At the beginning of the war 1t was a thriving farm with man and his wife, six sons and one daughter. Then the blow fell, and' all the men in France were mobilized; the father and his two eldest boys went off at Onre-four hours after the decree of mobilization was received in the vil lage. The farmer had no time to put his house in order, but left the farm in the hands of his wife and the two big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen. The man and his two eldest sons are now dead, the two next are In the army, and the poor mother, a wreck phys ically and mentally, cries all day. The girl and the two little boys do the whole work of the farm. The young est, who is only ten years old, cannot accomplish much. but he does manage to watch the COWS and to carry cans of milk or baskets of but ter.
 see the girl slmetimes; she is per fectly well, never complains and never asks for anything-except Occasional- ly for q warm petticoat, or hood to keep her head and neck warm and dry when she is working in the fields. There are hundreds of girls doing that work all over France.-Youth's Com paniOn.

Mustard Gas Invented Here.

The report that an American fn- ventor laid before an agent of the bu- reau of mines 15 months ago form ula for mustard gas, which the Ger mans are now supposed to be using. Is to be taken up by the American In- ventors' association. The allegation brought to the attention of the asSO- ciation at its meeting the other day was to the effect that Benjamin F. Brooks, chief chemist of the COmner- cial Research company of Flushing, l.. l., gave formula to the government bureau and heard nothing more from it. A few months ago it was found Germany had hit upon the gasr nccOrd- ing to F. J. Helnen president of the association.-Wash ashingtOn Star.

REPLY
To STACKER BY
81 R CEDDES

LONDON, July Sir Auckland
Geddes, minister of national service,
has just scored very effectively in
reply to correspondent who wrote
him protesting against being liable
for military service at eighteen pence
a day, while you, Sir Auckland, a
younger man than | am. remain in
your London office taking ten pounds
a day of your country's money"
To this Sir Auckland replied:
Sir Auckland Geddcs desires me to
assure you that he does not get the
sum of ten pounds per day, or any
thing approaching it. He thinks you
may like to know that he, too. has
served in the ranks as a private at
the rate of pay OF one shilling day;
that he joined the army in the early
days of the war. has been in France
and is now only in civilian posi-
ton as he Is unfit for further active
service as the result of injuries re-
ceiyed by him in France. Perhaps |
may add that Sir Auckland also has
served in the South African war"

WHAT FOOD MEANS

Food means life. Lack Of food
means death When you waste food
you are wasting someone's life.
Stringent measures have been taken
abroad to drive home this fact to
peoples minds. A woman in England
was fined 800 recently and Jailed for
thirty days because she threw away
one-half a rice pudding. A baker was
sent to Jail for six months for throw
ing away two pies.
Hard penalties, you say? But these
people were wasting human lives!
They are murderers.
Scrupulous care is taken that every
bit of food that comes into those
instance, every vessel in which food
has been cooked has water poured
into it. The water is strained and
the rood which originally adhered to
the side OF the vessel is saved and
cooked again.
This is just one example of the ways
in which European housewives are
eConomi2ing We may be very sure
that no food we send to Europe is
wasted.
Let's fill the big ships then, and
send them back with their message
of life and hope to those women
across the water.
Wheat is the food most needed just
now Let us do do without it, so far
as we can altogether if we can, and
most OF us are able to do it If we are
in earnest One way to 10 ii is to
have these wheatless breads instead of
brad with wheat in it.

Another with face set and grave.
But there are some who watch with
longing
Lonely and sad-eyed men;
Wishing and longing and hoping
That someone would write to them.
SO you who remembered some fcsto~,
Who has gone out to BATTLE the foe,
Take your pen and send him a letter,
That will set his heart aglow.
1t will make his life seem brighter,
The clouds will lift like veil,
When he hears the bugle calling
ITS time to distribute the mail!
