Before this high-school graduate Of
unusual accomplishments obtained her
Tsesent position of indoor mechanic,
she proved herself as efficient MS the
men In doing line work, climbing poles
and replacing wires as readily as any
of them, says Popular Mechanics, In
describing her attainments.
But for the war and the shortage Of
men having mechanical experience, she
probably would not be filling mans
place.
However, being fond of mechanics
aud having knowledge of electricity,
she intends to remain at her post ubil

Policeman Apologies.

Released by the signal of the traffic
policeman the stream of vehicles was
surging through Market street when a
young woman in new cur drove up
Broad street. She pulled out to pass
the other cars that had halted and
kept on her way, pumping the ,horn
shrilly and mistakenly: II blew thy
horn loudly enough; why didn't yo,,
make those cars stop and let me by?'
she freezlngly asked the policeman
after he had rescued her. "My mis-.
take, madam" said the officer. II
thought you were blowing for me to
move the Kinney building back out Of
your way."-Newurk News.

New invention.

A recent invention which has not
been marketed as yet, but is reported
10 be a great success, is an electric
roller for use in making the much
decided five-yard rolls of bandages.
The new device is not only great
time and labor saver, but requires lit
tie practice to learn TO operate. The
rollers operated by hand, rs they have
been heretofore, require skin and
training to operate them successfully,
and the work Is strenuous. BY rolling
electrically the operator is able to
keep hoth hands on the bandarc. while
In hand operation one he ri guides the
roll or hnndagc and the other oper.

Naturized Liver Tablets are natures

Why is it that Naturized Liver Tab
lets are proving such a big seller?
The answer is simple, and it is just
this:
Everyone who tries them is so well
pleased with the result that they tell
their friends about them. Thousands
of people are saying: They are the
finest purgative 1 ever used; would
not be without them in my home;
They are the only thing / have ever
tried that actually stirs my liver, etc.
1t is a fact that there are very few
real liver medicines sold, and Natur-
lied Liver Tablets are filling a long
wished for desire.
They remove the bile and cold bet
ter than calOmel or pills without grip
ing, making you sick, salivating or
leaving you constipated.
The first step in the treatment Of
most any ailment is to give a good
purgative, and it is astonishing what
wonderful things a good purgative
win do towards preventing the devel-
opment Of serious sickness, in fact If
every one who needs 3 purgative
would take it in time, there would be
less deaths caused from carelessness.

There is not community in the
United States that can expect to reap
more commercial profit from peace
than Baxter Springs-that is, in re-
lative proportion to size, etc. It looks
like everything the last few months
has conspired to throw q damper on
this entire district-that is, the COM
mercial life and yet the town has
forded the food in excellent condition.
One of the greatest benefits Baxter
Springs has realized is in the lowering
of rents Of both residence and business
properties. Many families from all
over the mining district who have
long had an eye on Baxter as q place
of residence have come in now that
they think the price Of admission is
right, where they hesitated before.
With the heavy hand Of war of this
district the most conservative view
points to a good substantial prosper
ity here in Baxter Springs. Check up
everything and see if Baxter Springs
has not been tried and not found
wanting.

Until heaven offers Peace to un-
repetant hell, until the Almighty in
vites Satan to a peace parley and to
sit beside him on the throne and rule
the universe, we would be traitors to
civilization and to God himself to
grant peace to an uncrushed, unre-
pentant, unpunished German. Peace
for Germany without full punishment
would be a premium upon crime and
an endorsement Of all Germany's fear
full shedding of blood. 1t would,
moreover, prove that we are pOltroOns
and towards and lack the moral force
to punish criminals, If they are Grim
inals of high degree. The world must
crush Germanism in this war OF
eventually be crushed by Gemanism.
There is no middle ground, and he
who advocates peace on any other
basis is false to all civilization.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL OPEN.
Columbus Opens Schools - Graham
Cautions High School Students
Probably Open Here Monday
Columbus Advocate, Nov. 4:

Columbus Advocate, Nov. d:
Both the Cherokee County High
School and the city school opened this
morning after an enforced vacation Of
three weeks caused by the quarantine
against influenza. The city schools
have nearly the usual number of
pupils and the high school has an at
tendance of about 80 per cent Of its
enrolment.
DR.. Graham went out to the high
school at assembly hour today and
made a short talk to the students. He
cautioned them about being careful to
remain at home if they felt the least
i'll, even if they only had bad cold.
He asked the students to obey cheer
fully all the rules laid down by Prof.
Davidson and his teachers, and in this
way try to avoid having to close the
school again.
The attendance was about 90 per
cent of the total number enrolled and
all of the students appear to be in a
good physical condition.
If the attendance had been very
small it was the intention of Prof.
Davidson and DIR. Graham to wait an
other week before starting the high
school work but when the attendance
showed so nearly normal it was de-
cided to continue the work for the
present.
Prof Davidson advised the students
that the "cut rule" would not be in
forced until things were back to nor
NAL as it was feared that some OF the
students would try to attend when
they were really i'll if this rule was
enforced at this time.
The schools of Baxter and Galena
remained closed this week. Some Of
the rural schools are open and others
are not, according to the local cOndi-
tons in each district.
