Suppose it is true that young wo-
man has been indiscreet. What sat-
isfaction is it to any worthy person
to "talk about it?" Why revel in her
unhappiness2 Anyone who has been
indiscreet is unfortunate. If you see
a dog lying in the street with brok-
en- leg, you wouldn't go and kick it.
Then why should you kick a woman
who has been wounded7 Possibly it
was her own fault. And possibly the
dog was injured while out barking at
a team in the street, where he had no
business.

March, who, in announcing the Gre
l!ation of July schedule of six new
divisions followed. by an August
schedule for the same number, has
indicated the embarkation upon sucn
monthly program. AT this rate
approximately 100000 men month
would be sent overseas, their places
in the home environments to be taken
by 100000 new men. Under such a
schedule, with provisions now exist
ing for the housing and training of
1,750,000 men in the United States,
full six months of training on this
side, both in divisional and replace
ment camps, before men were sent
over to complete their course behind
the lines, would be possible.
1t is not certain that the depart
ment is aiming at the creation of a
force of any definite size. There are
now upward of 100000 American
troops either overseas or en- route.
Secretary Baker said today the SUI
preme rate of the early part Of July
had been maintained throughout the
month, although he did not have
available the total shipment.
Under the 100000 a month sug-
gestion, and without mishap to the
supply line, October should see
100000 Americans overseas and
the opening of the spring campaign
of 1919, when many officers believe
the final scenes of the German de-
feat will begin in great combined
drive against the German lines,
might easily see 100000 ready for
action, with another force of sub
stantially 100000 organized at
home. That would represent the
army of 100000 men for which, in
a general way, the War Department
may be aiming.

Meatless weeks are faced now by
the German people. There is a day
coming when they will be face to
face with humiliation. Their kaiser
invited it with their subjects indors-
ing the action of their monarch. The
Temples of Paris is correct when it
says, $50 long as Germany remains
what she is she excludes herself by
her own acts from any society of ma
tons which she cannot herself con-
troll after the Prussian manner" To
try and convince her by argument of
the necessity of giving up the re-
ligion of force and relinuishing the
spirit of war is illusory." In other
words, Germany has, by her own
acts, declared herself an outlaw and
pariah among nations. according to
the French newspaper, and must, in
the nature of things, remain so. If
necessary the military machine of
Germany is to be dynamited off the
earth and the Germans who follow
the kaiser are to share the fate of
his empire.

There is going to be day when
those boys who are fighting over
there will dominate this country,
from the Presidents chair ON down.
The man who can't show that he
helped them in this present struggle
will be a lonesome character on
earth. If you haven't helped to send
them food and clothing and haven't
done your bit, there's no guessing
where you will spend your eternity.

A little girl wrote the following
composition on men: 'Men are what
women marry. They drink and
smoke and swear, but don't go to
church. Perhaps if they wore bon
nets they would. They are more log
zeal than women and also more ZOO
logical Both men and women sprung
from monkeys, but the women
sprung farther than the men,"

'VICE
ON CANNING
APPLES

Apples shrink more in canning
than most fruits and for this rea-
son should be blanched for one min
ute. Plunge them into a cold bath,
then pack. Cover with a syrup made
of IA ounces of sugar to one gallon
of water and process quart jars IL
minutes. Other syrups can be used
in place of a part of the sugar usu-
ally required.
This method of canning apples is
not economical because the apple
is juicy and needs no water added.
A better method, perhaps, is to make
a sauce out of the apples. This may
be done by steaming them until ten
der and passing them through a
sieve. Allow one cup of sugar to each
gallon of pulp. Reheat until the
sugar is. dissolved, pack hot in steri-
lied jars and process quart jars u
minutes.

NO TROUBLE WITH PRISONERS
American Private Was Not In the
Least Afraid That Any Would Try
to Get Away From Him.

This is the experience of Private
Henry p. Lennert of Missouri and
the German soldiers he captured the
other day, as told by Correspondent
Wood of Chicago:
The captain, who recognized Len
merit as one of the battalion runners,
crawled out of his bunk and walked
out. The prisoners, their officers
standing in front, saluted as if on
parade.
"My heavens! How many have
you there?" asked the officer, his
sleepy eyes wide open.
81 don't know, sir" replied Len
merit.
''Better count them so you'll
know if you lose any" suggested
the captain.
"They'll follow me anywhere, but
IN have them counted, sir" an
swered Lennert.
He called a short, stocky under
officer out of the ranks and gave him
an order in German. The sergeant
hustled back and the Elm, zwei,
drei, vier-," the familiar prelimi-
nary to Squads by fours," in every
army, started.
"There are 76, sir, and four Off
GERS" Lennert reported.
"Do you need a guard? ?" asked the
adjutant.
"No. l can handle them all right,
sir" said Lennert. "They want to go
along"

'MRpLANE IS NOT NEW IDEA
British Spy In France During Reign

A spy in the British service I'M

diary. A century later it was pub
lished, and we are struck by the like
ness Of many of the facts noted in
Paris in 1894 by this man who
signed himself "Raoul Hesdin," and
contemporary facts about the war
countries: bread tickets, meat short
age, hymns of hate, ETC., etc. These
times are not so different from our
Observation-Disclosures, after all.
Visiting Meudon, in the suburbs of
Paris, "V- had heard" notes the

periments in the manufacture of
munitions of war; there are to be
flying machines to cast shells into
besieged towns, and the like. /
neither accept nor reject such
stories entirely" The difficulty in
war science is, obviously, less to
imagine device than to conquer its
technical difficulties. In 1894 there
was talk of the airman, Coutelle,
crossing the Channel in his big bal
loon and doing dire things to the
island enemy-no novelty, the air
raiders of 1881 1t was these same

STOP THAT
INDIGESTION

In the long list Of human ills there
is none that causes more suffering,
or is more productive of serious re-
suits than a disordered stomach.
1t units you for business or
pleasure, and opens the way for the
most fatal disease to attack your
system. Stomach trouble manifests
its presence by flatulence, or "wind"
in the stomach and bowels. The
tongue is coated, the bowels are ir-
regular, and there is depression,
anxiety, dependency, dizziness,
headache, cramps, water-brash, con-
stipation, diarrhea, or other comph-
cations.
For this aggravating disease, Vim
HEPATICA has been found to be
very prompt and effective. 1t should
be taken in doses graduated to the
requirements of the case, sufficient
to establish a daily movement of
the bowels.
Mr.. W. 7. Mackie, prominent
planter, Route No. l, Whites Greek,
Tenn, says: ~ was so troubled with
indigestion that when / got up every
morning l would feel as if had had
no rest at all during the night. But
l took WIN HEPATICA, and was so
greatly pleased with the relief it gave
me that / recommended it to other
members of my family and all of my
tenants, who have been using it with
most excellent results"

THE HENRY CASE AFFIRMED

In the Appellate Court at Frank
fort last week the Montgomery
Circuit Court was affirmed in the
case Of Charles Walls, etc, VS.. Hen
ry. This suit was over the estate
Of the late J. Ernest Henry, and in
volved the title to the Henry farm,
near Aaron's Run, this county, val
ued at about 100000. There were
two claimants to the estate, the
children of the late j. Will Henry,
alleging he owned the farm while the
heirs of the late j. Ernest Henry
claimed the property, the title being
in the said j. Ernest Henry. The
suit was bitterly contested, but
Judge Young upheld the contention
of the heirs of J. Ernest Henry and
probated his will, disposing of the
property. An appeal was taken and
Judge Young was upheld. The ben
efciaries, under the decision will be
Mrs. Lula Henry, widow of ]. Ernest
Henry, and his daughter, Mrs. Leila
Heaton, of this county. 1t is likely
that the decision will settle the case.
