Hold Your Temper.

Get mad If you must but don't fly off the handle, is the advise of sage When you express yourself others see what's in you, and as rule see less than they thought was there; but if you are silent you have them guessing and the chances are that they will think there's more in you than there really is-which will be greatly to your advantage.

WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. "Not so young
as | used to be" is frequent and unwel-
come thought. Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with ell
derlv people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.

man on fOOt-the man who makes

Nv of France, when the use Of defcn-
sive projection had practically diSap-
ncareG and an attempt was made to
revive the steel helmet. Indeed. the
development of armor from the time
of side arms until the use of firearms
is one of exceeding interest at this
time in that the government is re-
viewing the work of some of the
greatest of the old masters in armOr
making, with a view to reinstating the
best and most feasible of the old meth
DDS of defensive protection.
The use of armor dates back to the
ninth century 3. c. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
duction of gunpOwder. The helmet was
the first body protection to appear and
was followed by the cuirass-the lat
ter being used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans and reappearing at the time of
Charlemagne in the form of n waist
coat made of overlapping metal scales
and of rather imperfect execution.

Finally. in the reign of Charles VII,

wore considerably lighter equipment,
namely, helmet. shoulder pieces,

ass. This equipment may appear
again on the modern soldier practical

reign of Charles VII.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Secretary Bakers confidential sec
retary has resigned his job to Join
the army. He has been rated as
one of the most capable secretaries
in Washington. He expects to en-
ter the army as private.
1t seems waSteful, on first
thought. A good secretary for a
man in big, responsible position is
beyond price. Good soldier stuff is
common. And yet. broadly speak
ing, such a man may really serve his
country better in the army. Even
though he should never rise beyond
the rank of private, even though his
lie should be snuffed out early in
the game, he has set an example
that is worth the sacrifice.
