Some Lessons from History
Bismark, GermaGy a Dominant Power
WILLIAM E. FREELAND

1t had been the habit Of the old

the Revolution Of lS48 England was
the only European nation OF import

Naturally she was the ideal Of those
spirits striving for freedom rist where.
Bismark began subtly to undermine the
good feeling that existed in G m1ny
toward her and 10 replace it with con
tempt and hatred. This astute man
saw that she was the most serious Oh
stacle that stood between him aud the
dream OF the German kaiser ruling
over the world. Further he realz
that England was a dangerous Toe be

PROBABLY STILL AT WORK
Anyway, Steel Concern Has Not Yet
Answered Letter Written to II
In Native Hawaiian.

An amusing instance of the igno-
rance Of some American firms regard
ing the language spoken in different
parts of the world has just come to
light and many laughs have been had
at the expense of well-known eastern
steel company, observes the New York
Commercial. This concern decided to
circularize all the large business
houses of Honolulu and other cities
and towns in the Hawaiian islands
and wrote a letter in English to them
all In which this sentence occurred !:
do not hesitate to write US regarding
your wants in your native language.
We have a complete foreign depart
ment and are equipped to translate
letters written in any tongue"
One firm in Honolulu decided to test
out this last statement. After a long
search, an educated Hawaiian was
found who was able to write the orig
lnal native tongue of the islands and
q letter written by him was duly for
warded to the American steel concern.
Whether 1t was ever translated is not
known, but the Honolulu house never
heard from 1t again.

Helping on the Farms.

Farm women, boys, and girls in
Indiana are helping food production by
taking the places of the men who have
been called to the colors and the city
industries. Investigation of the cost
of milk production, conducted by the
dairy division of the United States
department of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with Purdue university, shows
that, in 1856, hired men performed
nearly half of the work in the dairies
in the Chicago milk district of northern
Indiana. A year later, after many of
these men had left to join the army or
responded to the higher wages paid by
the steel mills and munition factories
at Gary, Ind, and other cities, the
women and young people went out to
the barns and are now performing over
half of the labor which was formerly
done by the hired men. The men who
are left at home are also spending
more time in the dairies, but, were it
not for the fact that their families are
helping them, they would have consid-
erably less time to devote to the pro-
duction of much-needed crops.

CIark's Day Dream.

IN an address in Washington some
time ago Speaker Clark said, accord
ing to the Pathfinder, that if he should
suddenly find himself possessed of the
wealth of a Rockefeller the first thing
he would do would be to establish a
publishing house in st. Louis, Mo.
"Then," he said, "Td publish an un-
abridged dictionary, with words pro-
nounced the way the people of the
country pronounce them, and put it on
the market to compete with those COM
posed by somebody up in a garnet
who's trying to make people here talk
like those in England.
1.-THE next thing I'd do would be to
have a real history of the United
Statos composed and published under
my supervision. In it I would give
the people who have done things
credit"

HAD THRIFT STAMP IN SIGHT
Boy Was by No Means ldIing, Though
He Did Not Appear Indus
triously Engaged.

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
told this story at a dinner party as
an Illustration of the old saying that
appearances are sometimes deceiving:
One afternoon a woman was walking
through a suburban village when she
noticed small boy leaning on a gate
in front of one of the residences. The
boys attitude did not betray any great
ambition
Il am surprised to see you stand
ing here, my little man." said the
woman kindly. "Why do you idle
away your time on such as beautiful
afternoon"
"I am not idling," defensively de-
clared the boy. 81 am working for a
Thrift stamp"
working for a Thrift stamp?"
wonderingly responded the woman,
who couldn't see any signs Of labor.
Eyes, ma'am," returned the boy.
''Mr. Smith is sitting on the veranda
with sister, and he told me that he
would give me the price Of stamp if
I would watch for father" r."-Philadel-

DON'T WASTE CAR SPACE ]

You know that, at this time,
food is precious and that none
Of it can be allowed to go to
waste.
Do you know that, at this time,
freight car space is equally
precious and that to waste it is
to invite disaster?
When shipments of produce
and other perishable food prod
ucts are not properly packed in
the car, they fare badly and
there is loss of food.
When produce, vegetables and
the like are not properly packed
in the car, there is loss of equal
ly valuable car space.
For your own protection from
money loss, and for the protec-
ton Of the country from food
loss and shipping loss, exercise
scrupulous care to see that ship
ments are packed properly in
the car.

Japanese Women Red Cross Workers.
'sFew Americans realize how much
Japan has done during this war for
the Red Cross" says the foreign press
bureau Of the woman's committee of
the council of defense. "Her Red
Cross membership far exceeded ours
in the early days of the war; and she
maintained hospitals in England,
France and Russia for a whole year,
just as we did. Like our own, these
hopitals had to be given up for a
time for lack of funds. After this, how
ever, Japan subscribed and sent mil
lion dollars to the wounded of the

Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles

81. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured If you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment it enters the stom-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause bloated, dull,

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
Weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not "patent medicine" nor
new discovery" For 200 years they

Efficiency and the Beehive.

A productive colony of bees may be
likened figurativeIy to machine which
consumes in friction 80 per cent of the
energy applied. This is not a high de-
gree of efficiency when measured by
this standard. The colony in a box
hive, then, is likened to such a machine
in bad repair and with no attention, in
which all the energy is used simply to
drive the wheels. Such a machine is
totally unproductive. The properly
housed colony which is badly manipu-
lated is then comparable to the ma
chine insgood repair but in the hands
of a poor mechanic. Such a machine
may do fair worksfor time, but the
mechanic fails to do the necessary
work at the right time and the machine
is only occasionally productive. Final
ly, the productive colony is like good
machine in the hands of a good me-
chanfc. While energy is consumed
simply to run the machine, the good
mechanic does the right work at the
right time and obtains the greatest pos
sible reward in the machines output.
Such f1gurative comparison must not
be carried too far, and is used here
only to point out the lamentable waste
in much present-day beekeeping.

Farmers who have been using straw,
silage, corn fodder, and small amount
of alfalfa hay with a little cotton
seed meal or cake or some soft corn
say that this combination makes good
inexpensive beef.
Rabbit raising on a backyard scale
is not an experiment. Thousands of
small rabbitries in this country are
producing meat crops regularly for
family tables. These domestic animals
are easily raised and remarkably free
from disease when properly cared for.
Garden soil is required to produce
heavily.
The principal facts in regard to the
raising of rabbits are as well estab-
lished as those of rearing other do
nestle animals, and the directions
which a beginner needs are few.
Statements to the effect that certain
breeds of rabbits produce pelts of high
market value are unwarranted. Rails
ing rabbits for the fur alone would
be improbable with any known breed.

Russian Land Question.

1.-The economists, sociologists and
statesmen of Russia seem agreed that
communal land-holding is an outgrown
system. They want the muzhiks to be
acted upon by the same individualizing
and stimulating forces which have put
the French farmer and the American
farmer so far ahead of him. Stolypin
had been SO impressed by the mob
psychology of the community peasant
that he put through a law requiring
the obstchina, on the demand of any
member, to give him his share of the
land in single plot, which then be-
came his individual property. In ten
years many such associations were
dissolved, and 100000 peasants
about 20 per cent of those under the
communal system-had their land 'di-
vided out and went to live on it like
American farmers. s."-EKchange.
