Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.
There is a more serious stage Of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency Of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your

SURPRISING SABOTAGE.

Now that President Wilson has given orders to the immigration agents in the northwest that sabotage and similar disorder must be SUD- pressed, it will be realized that 1t is move in the right direction and one that might have been taken long ago with excellent results.
 This action is taken now because of the anticipated fiocking to this country from across the Pacific of those who are numbered among the boishevild or those who are saturated with the ideals of that political or ganization and it is proposed to deal with them firmly and effectively. It is well known what the results have been of the spreading of the German propaganda throughout this country, what the effects of the l. W. W. agi- tators have been and therefore what can be expected from those who are imbued with bolshevikism. They care nothing for public safety and that is .Shat mnzts he ez<sfu fully uxuteeted .at

THAT OLD DERBY HAT

T don't care, [ won't go to Sunday school and wear that old straw hat! Shall you go and wear yours. Laura ?H asked pretty little Mabel West of her sister.
 T don't know, Mabel" answered Laura November, is pretty late for straw hats, but dent see how we can ask papa for any money. When l showed him hole in my boot yesteF- day, he sighed awfuHy, and when looked at him there were tears in his eyes. You know, dear, his work is So uncertain and there are so many of us to feed. Let's so up in the attic and rumrnage. Perhaps we can find some thing can fix up"
 Laura, II, was the eldest of five and after graduating from grammar school had been unable to attend high school as her help was needed at home, and she had a talent for liking up" as she called it, fort all the family.
 The attic to which the girls went was the oid-fashiened kind, and the children often used it on rainy days as a playhouse It was Mrs. Vests custom to have Laura or Mabel put it in order at least once a month. SC the boxes of old hats, trimmings, etc. were all in one place, and to those the girls turned.
 They pulled out old bonnets of thei1 mothers, hats and caps for boys and men, and found one old black felt hal of Laura's which had already seen ser. erai seasons.
 T might be able to trim this up fol you, hIabe,'' said Laura. Here is 2 band of green velvet and an oit buckle'' "0h, that old thing" sait
 Mabel scornfuIly. T know, dear" sait Laura, "abut you know they are going to have that il1pstrated lecture Sun. day afternoon, and then we are in yited to Cousin Edith's for supper and you do not want to miss that "Oh, suppose se," said Mabel, "bu what will you wear?.
 "Oh," said Laura catching sight O an old soft brown derby that her fath, CT had discarded, s'couldn't I cut thii
 rim off and bind it with velvet? Ant | it wouldn't be too bad, would 1t? Yol

JOHN REDMOND.

Ireland has suffered a severe loss by the removal by death of it's great leader John Redmond For a number of decades he has been in charge of the fight in behalf of home rule and it is most unfortunate that he should be taken away at this critical point in the progress to thai end.
 Thoroughly in touch with Irish af- fairs he has been q steady and prudent supporter of legislation in behalf of the Emerald Isle. Though fitted for the practice of law he devoted his life 10 the study of parliamentary affairs and how thoroughly he held the con- fidence of his people is shown by the long period of years in which he has been prominent figure in the Brit ish parliament
 Taking up the work which was laid down by Parnell, he followed closely along the lines which he pursued and his achievements have not enIy wor distinction for him during his life time but will go down in. history ir connection with that of the other great Irish leaders.
 Redmond was constructive states. man who as the leader of the nation. alists has done much to keep the peo. Se of Ireland in line on consisten policy. His position made deep i'm pression even upon the English oppo nents of home rule and he rendered ; most valuable service to Great Brit ain from the very opening of the wa, in his display of loyalty to Englant and in his opposition to the effort of Germany to spread dissension. Ire land will have difficulty in replacinl him,

OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

If for any reason the people of this country have not been brought to a full realization of the need of put ting forth every possible effort in be- half of ship construction, the state ment of the British ship controller ought to be of great benefit when, in connection with the fact that the ship building in Great Britain has not come up to expectation, it is shown that wi1ile the severe weather, strikes and labor unrest have contributed their part to the disappointment it is nevertheless a fact that the wofimen of that councry have been driven to the limit for such a protracted period that they are weary and are unable to accomplish what they did during the earlier days of the war
 Thus while by no means discour- aged it is plain that the efficiency is suffering and this is particularly true when that country feels that it has such need for men in the army that ii cannot spare more for the shipbuild ing industry.
 That being the case it is evident that the UnAed States must fill the ED. This country has the carpen- tens the metal workers and the ship builders in sufficient number to meet the requirements and it must be re- affixed that much depends upon the response which they make to the de- mands of the times as to whether the shipbuilding programme of this coun- try is going to be carried out as ar ranged and not only take care of the needs of this country but of our allies as well. There can be no question but what the oceanic transportation problems can be met in this country if there is the proper disposition and cooperation.

, they were wearabie at least, and as the girls said, Nbetter than straw in NoVember.n
 After supper that evening Mrs. West l said to 1sau5as 's5noW your father what you have been doing today, Laura . l When Mir. West saw the old derby, he stnttered and stamnered and 1 choked, for he hated to dtscourage Laura who had worked so hard, but he finally said: You did well dear, but cannot let 1 you wear that hat. How much can you l buy some hats fer? Why, dad, l saw some advertised today for one dollar, and think trimming could be bought for one dollar each, too," re- piled Laura.
 well" said Mir. West, .I had sur 1 prise today. Old man Sawyer came in to see me and paid me $1o he has 1 owed me for six or seven years, and 1 I think mother will agree with me that you girls deserve new hats, Sd take six dollars and see what you can do with it, Laura
 The next day was a wonderful day i for the girls, as their mother thought Laura old enough to go to town and select the hats, and Mabel was allowed ] to go to.
 1 They tramped from one Store to an- other, as Laura had planned just whai they needed, and had to buy at the lowest possible price in order to carry
 out her plans.
 The old derby disappeared from Laura's thoughts entirely, but not from her fathers, who took it and stealthil. showed it to the leading InilHner in ths village, who was an old friend and s woman of refined taste and keen per. ceptioIl
 She at once offered to give Laura
 free instruction evenings, which wa' later accepted.
 The hats were trimmed that evening and when tried on before their fathe he praised Laura's skill highly and tois her he thought she could make almos
 anything wearable except an old derb. hat.
 ii Years later, when Laura was "Moli neaux, Ladies' Hatter,' to an exclusiv,
 set of one of the leading cities in tn
 State, her parents went to pay her 1;
 visit.
 Il Mfr West carried a large box whicl he presented to Laura, and on openin; it she found card which read: T Big oaks from little acorns grow : and underneath the old derby hat. full,

RUSSIA AND THE WEST FRONT.


 It appears to he impossible at the present time to get much satisfaction out of the fact that Germany is send- ing a portion of it's forces into Rus sia for the purpose of getting control of a larger section of it's eastern neighbor. If Russia was in fighting trim and it was offering such resist anee as it did during the earlier days of the war it would mean that Ger many and Austria would be having their hands full taking care of the eastern fighting front. but the situa- ton is decidedly different today than it was either before or immediately following the revolution
 There is such Reorganization to- 1 day in Russia that little or no resist ance is being experienced by the forces of the central powers. In g ! few places the troops commanded by 1 the bolshevih are putting up the sem aiance sof a fight but for the mos1 part the invaders are going where 1 they please. getting large quantities of booty and military stores, aequir- 1 ing railroads and cities and in fact | running over Russia as if 1t was 8 small and pewerless nation. | This means that Germany is moi l forced to use as large an army fol this work as otherwise would be re- ! quired. Most any kind Of troops will l do for this work so that it will not be I greatly disturbed in its plans on tht i west front.

 There has been too much leaiAncy shown In the past to those who have been disposed to obstruet the hand oa the government and thereby lend en- couragement and comfort to the ene- my. Invariably those who have bean caught at their game have been light y dealt with. The punishment in- fiicted upon them has not been com mensurate with their deeds.

HEAD OF WAR INDUSTRIES
 BOARD.

A position of the greatest irnpsrt- ance at the present time is thae of chairman of the war industries board, and President Wilson Tn recognition thereof has chosen Bernard M. Baruch. No other assumption is possible than that he has the greatest confidence that he will fill the efico in the best manner possible MT. Barucn has had extensive experience along this line since the opening Of the war and though 1t is a place of great respon- sibility upon which much dependence is placed for the successful outcome of the conflict, there can be littic question but what he possesses the ability and inclination to respond to the demand.
 Realizing that the chairman of tle war industries board is vested witt extensive authority and that he will
 be called upon to make very large ex- penditures. the president, apparently guided by experiences of the pas with other boards. points out at this time the duties which go with thfs 1 position. Tn order to avoid friction
 even though there may not have beer
 any need for the advice, he directs that nothing shall be done to Inter. 1 fere with what is being successfully
 accomplished and to interfere as lit
 tie as possible with normal processes
 but to act for the joint and severa
 departments of the government, g1vins l him the authority to pass upon al questions except those relating tt 1 prices.
 1 There are good reasons for believing 1 that he will assume this task of act \ ing as the general eye for ali the sup I ply departments in the field of indus | try, and will act, as he has declared |, with all the force and ability at hi { command

Sour Stomach
M-o-na Puts the Stomach In Fine Shape In Five Minutes

If your stomach is continually kick ing up 8 disturbance; you feel hloated and distressed, if you belch gas and sour food into the mouth, then you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets give in- stant relief, of course, but they do more; they drive out the poisonous gases that cause se-fernentation of food and thoroughly clean, renoyate and strengthen the stomach so that 1t can readily digest food without artificial aid.
 M-o-na stomach tablets are guar anteed to end indigestion, acute or chronic. or money back. This means that nervousness, dizziness and hil- iousness will disappear. Druggists everywhere and the Lee 6 Osgood Go sell Mi-o-na.
