A LINE O. CHEER

THE FEBRUARY THAM.

You hate the thaw? To me 'tis good.
'Tis proof that winter harsh and rude
At last is in a melting mood.
or gardens fresh. and fruitful tree
Released from icy slavery
1t is the gladstone prophecy.
1t shows that through the wintry day
The blessed Spring is on The way
With birds and flowers bright and
gay;
And anything that draws me near
To Springtide with its smiling cheer
This heart of mine holds deeply dear.

A COLD-TRY THIS

Get a small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put a
cup of boiling water upon it, pour
through a sieve and drink a teacup-
full at any time. 1t is the most
effective way to break a cold and
cure grip, as 1t opens the pores, re-
lieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking cold at
once.
It is inexpensive and entirely vege-

Government Asks For Aid
in Collection Uf Old Iron


Under advices of the government,
Central Pennsylvania is being
secured for scrapiron. Railroads are
cooperating in the search for old
iron, and will aid in the movement
by having cars on hand for prompt
shipment.
Never before have the villages,
smithies, farms, in fact every con-
cefvable place where cast-away scrap
could be found, been combed by
those who make a business of gath
ering scrap as they are at present.
Thousands of carloads Of scrap
have been handled by the Reading
during the past month. 1t is consign-
ed to the big steel mills at Bethle-
hem, Lebanon, Reading, Coatesville,
Pencoyd, Nicetown and other places.
The Bethlehem Steel Company
uses up very large quantities of
scrap. The Reading Iron Company
is also big consumer. The mills
at Blandon, those at Pottstown and
the Phoenix Iron Company receive
any amount of it. There are few
freight trains handled daily that do
not include a few cars consigned to
some plant.

Lieut.. Payne Killed
in Action in France

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Payne, OF
Front and Muench streets, have just
been advised of the death in action
of their nephew. Lieutenant Francis
w. Payne, of the Twenty-sixth In
fantry, in France.
Lieutenant Payne enlisted at his
home in Charleston, w. Va, going
to Europe last October.
Recently a newspaper of his home
town printed some interesting ex-
tracts from letters received by the
young soldiers father, when
breathed a lofty patriotism and high
appreciation of the ideals of the
American fighting man.
One of these letters referred to the
death of Harry LADDERS son with
this comment:
"Of course, none of us expect to
be killed, but a lot of US will be,
and while our parents and friends
will grieve we all hope they won't
take it so hard. l read published
letter of a French soldier to his par
ents. and in it he asked them not to
pray that he might not be killed or
injured, but that he might bear the
hardships and suffering he must en-
dure, and that he might fight good
fight while he was able to do, so.
That seems the proper spirit, because
lot must be killed and wounded,
and it might as well be one as an
other.
From all can hear, there doesn't
seem to be such a thing as fear
among any of the armies. OF course,
every one hates the life and will
be glad to have it end, but they don't
seem to fear the Boche at all They
realize the Boche is a good fighter,
but we all consider ourselves a little

LESS TRUNKS IS
NEW R. R. ORDERS
War Industries Board Asks
Drummers to Aid in Relief
For Baggagemen

Baggagemen will get some relief.
orders have been issued from the
war Industries Board to cut down
the number of sample trunks. Tight
packing is also urged.
Notices have been sent to local
| baggage officials and to retailers urg-
ing cooperation in reducing the
NUMBER OF sample trunks. Retailers
are asked to place merchandise
when shown by economical sampling
devices and also by. accepting mer-
chandtse packed with a view to saw
ing space.
Recently the board suggested plans
along both these lines, but while the
savings made have been noteworthy,
1t is apparent that a more general
reduction can be effected.
one of the many items in which
IL appears that space savings is pos
sible is in the shipment of waists. 1t
has been suggested that it is prac-
teal to pack two or more of the bet
ter grades of waists to a box instead
OF one, as at present. In the lower
priced varieties, where they are
packed six to a box, the number
could be increased to twelve.
In urging the placing of orders
for merchandise shown by econom-
ical sampling devices, the war indus
tries board states that the successful
use OF photographs. Autographs and
catalogs is reported by many, with
the consequent reduction in the
number of sample trunks.
All articles sold in pairs such as
garters, hosiery and gloves, should
be sampled one-half pair for each
model, using swatches of fabrics and
colors in connection with photo
graphs where necessary for each
style.

Washington-The official German
communiques which have attempted
to paint the "retrograde movement
out of the Marne salient as remark
able victory for the German arms
have caused no little merriment in
Washington. and. to an extent, they
have served as another disillusion-
ment as to certain traits of the Ger
man military character.
Many of those in Washington had
believed that ever since the war
started the German official state
ments had cleaved more closely to
the lines of truth than any put out
by other belligerents. There was an
excuse for this belief, for when the
Germans have taken the offensive
and have met with successes day
after day their communicates gener-
ally have given the world the first
authentic information as to the bat
tie situation. OF course there has
been eXaggeration as to the number
of prisoners and guns taken from
time to time, but. generally speaking,
the statement had proved worthy of
a large share of confidence.
A considerable part of this repu-
tation for accuracy was gained
through the fact known to all soldiers
that the attacking army always can
keep closer touch with the situation
than the defending force, and there
fore can give first news to the world.
Often the Allies have not been in a
position to announce the extent of
their own reverses because of the
disorganized communications during
the height of a German attack. The
same principle applies to the Ger
mans. of course, but in their retreat
they have gone beyond the lack Of
accurate news by deliberately mis-
representing known facts to their
people
