Soap for Wounds.

Common yellow soap, the kind used
by housewives in washing clothes and
dishes, has been found to be wonder
full cure for wounds In French hos
pitfalls and its use has spread to the
British medical stations. A solution
is made from cake and injected into
soldiers wounds, even in the latest in
stances into the deepest bullet holes,
where 1t has proved itself to be SUI
perior antiseptic to hydrogen perox-
ide and most other germ killers, and
in addition strangely effective heal
er of torn tissues.
Wounds treated with soap need few
er dressings and lessen pain far
more than do wounds treated with
other antiseptics. These facts greatly
expedite the work of the surgeons,
who can handle more men than when
using other solutions.

What the Girl Said.

Being In charge of the complaint de-
partment at the local postoffice, i had
a rather amusing incident occur a few
days ago. The blank used in filing
complaint required answers to about a
dozen questions, as, for example. date
of mailing, contents, nature of COM
plant, as loss. damage or rifiing. A
young lady came to the window and
explained that she was to receive
parcel containing medicine from an
out-of-town doctor. and same was long
overdue, according to advices regard
ing shipment received from the doctor.
So I proceeded to have her answer
the several questions on the blank
mentioned. When l read thF ques-
lions, nature of complaint. shet eplied.

Sloane took the matter in hand and
announced: well, 1 bet we are going

MONEY TO WIN WAR
How Americans Can Defeat
Blood Crazed Kaiser.
Small Contributions From All Who
Love Liberty and Appreciate Its
Blessings VIII Save World
From Grave Danger.

Many are familiar with the fable
that appeared in the old school readers
about the king who offered a fortune
and the hand of his daughter to the
man who could tell him story that
would last forever In the telling, with
the stipulation, however, that. in case
the story came to an end, the person
who failed to complete 1t was to lose
his head by the sword.
A number of adventurous spirits lost
their heads In the attempt to keep
serial going forever to amuse the &c
centric monarch, but one young man
finally won the fortune and the daugh-
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king with the story about the locusts
carrying OFF the corn. And then an
other locust came and carried off an
other grain of corn" etc, etc, until
the king decided he had had enough of
the story.
= America-in fact, the whole world.

it to him must lose his head. There
world from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can be worn out, If
he cannot be crushed by one tremen-
dous blow. And the government at
Washington has pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the kaiser. Small
savings, like the locusts, coming along
from 100000 American citizens,
will wear out the soul of the war-mad
monarch. American money can wear
out any army in the world, because
there is a great deal of American
money and there are many Americans
who have 1t. Just a mere matter of a
quarter day from every wage Garner
in the United States would mean bill
lions of dollars every year to buy guns
and food for soldiers, and ships to
carry them across the Atlantic to de
feat the sinister purposes of the kaiser
and his crew.
A quarter, like the grain of corn, is
not much in itself, but millions of quar-
tiers every day mean victory for right
eousness and humanity.

Before Days of Furnaces.

Yule is an Anglo-Saxon word for
Christmas, hence Yuletide, meaning
Christmas time, and the yule log which
used to be piled on the hearth for the
making of big cheerful fire. The
yule log was thought to bring good
fortune and bits of its charred re-
mains were saved to start the next
years Christmas fire with. But that
was before the days of furnaces or
baseburners.
