JUST A DOMESTIC DRAMA
Tooth, Bread Board, Mother and Son,
All Mixed Up in This Little
Everyday Story.

A tooth, limousine, bread board,
some Wyckoff noodles, a mother and
her son enter into this drama.
Mother is loyalty doing her own
work, and on returning from market
she drove her limousine to the kitchen
door. Lacking room to place her mar
keting, she temporarily put the bread
board, covered with noodles, on the
back of the convenient limousine. Just
then her son had fall in such a man
ner that front tooth was clearly re-
moved from it's socket. In great ex-
element she picked up the boy and
the tooth and FASTENED in the limou-
sine to the dentist. On one Of the prin-|
cipal streets, during the trip down.
town, she heard a sound as though the
limousine had run over a loose board,
but gave it no thought. The dentist
replaced the tooth and mother and SON
returned home. Her husband, who Isl
very fond of noodles, said: "Marguer-
cite, what did you do with the bread
board and the noodles?" Then she
knew. Did she go back after the bread
board and noodles? She did not.
Is the boys tooth still in? 1t is.
Will you find the bread board and
noodles advertised in the lost column q

Bluff That Failed.

General Plumer, who has recently
been recalled to France from Italy,
can be very ironical when he chooses,
as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command, regiment
was being Unanswered before him on
a field day, and the colonel il charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed up
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last, calling halt, rode up to Plumer
with an air of Importance.
81 f1atter myself that was extremely
we'll done, SIR" he said, evidently with
the idea Of trying to blufr that moth
ing had gone wrong.
ooh, excellent" was General Plum

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and
are considered Of gastronomic value
are caterpillars, moths, n favorite in
some parts of Africa; the pupae OF
the silkworm in China ants, alive and
roasted, are appreciated in BurTnah, as
well as by the Indians of North and
South America, while it is said the.
lumbermen of Maine enjoy an occa-
sional meal of large wood ants. The
beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in
Turkey, Lombardy, Java, Peru, and is
said to be nutritious and fattening. In
Central America the eggs Of three
aquatic bugs are made into little
cakes and eaten. Mexicans make q
strong drink by infusing tiger beetle
In alcohol.

Possibilities Of North Africa.

North Africa-Tunis, Algeria and
Morocco-contains around a half mil
lion square miles. Some Of 1t Is des-
ert, but much of it is highly produc-
tive, and it has special advantages for
producing some forms Of live stock.
The climate and pasture make 1t al
most as ideal a country as Australia
for sheep raising and 1t has peculiar
advantages for what might be called
extensive pig raising; its acorns and
other tree crops taking the place Of
corn. Yet down to the beginning Of the
war very little had been done to make
this potential wealth actual and avail
able.

Lemon drops and coffee are popular
with the. army. There is such a de-
mand for lemon drops that the quar-
termasters corps is having difficulty in
obtaining the desired quantity and
quality. About 100000 pounds of
lemon drops are used each month at
the present time, or about 15 per cent
of the amount of candy furnished the
army.
The lemon drops being supplied the
army are made of pure granulated
sugar and favored with an emulsion
made from the rind of the lemon. The
extra sour lemon drop is the favorite
with the soldiers. 1t has the thirst
quenching quality of lemonade. The
formula was prepared specially, and
is being followed by the candy manu-
facturers supplying the army.
The entire output Of all factories in
the United States making soluble cof-
fee is being purchased by the quarter
masters corps for the army, but it is
not sufficient to meet the demand ::
new companies are being organized
and large capital is being expended to
insure largely increased output.
Soluble coffee is used in the front
line trenches, where it is not possible
always to have hot water because it
cannot be brought up from the rear
and fire to heat water causes smoke
which invites the fire of the enemy.
The men can make good coffee from
the cold water which they carry in
their canteens.

Increasing needs of the military
forces for woolens has brought an or
der from the woolens section of the
war industries board stopping the
manufacture of wooden or worsted
hand knitting yarns, and calling for
reports as to stock held by the manu-
facturers, and wholesale and retail
merchants.
The Red Cross is buying up these
stocks at a nominal profit to the hold
erS for use in its war work. much
greater supply is required and the
Red Cross will take up stocks of yarn
suitable in quality and quantity as
rapidly as they are offered.
Large manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers reported their stocks on
hand promptly, but many small mer
chants throughout the country have
failed to report to the woolens section,
and reports have been received they
are continuing to sell to their custom
ers. The war industries board has no
desire to penalize those who have re-
ported their stocks of yarn for the
benefit Of those who have not so re-
ported, and asks for immediate replies
from those who hold unreported stocks
Of hand knitting yarns and compliance
with the original order of the board.
The yarns affected include both wool
en- and worsted in Oxfords, khaki, nat
ural and natural gray colors with the
counts, make, quality and cost price.
Reports should be made on lots down
to 80 pounds.

The United States has vast known
sulphur deposits guaranteeing an album
dant supply for the manufacture of
sulphuric acid and other necessary war
materials for the successful prosecu-
ton of the war.
Two great plants are now turning
out most Of the sulphur needed. One
is in Louisiana and the other in Texas.
There are two other known deposits
which can be opened up quickly in
case Of necessity. Preliminary work
on one of these is under progress to
meet any unexpected emergency, such
as destruction or damage by hurricane
as occurred recently at the Louisiana
plant.
Sulphur is melted in the ground by
steam and hot water and forced to the
surface through wells where the molten
sulphur solfdifies on exposure to the
air. The sulphur deposit underlies a
bed Of quicksand through which it is
impossible to drive shafts and mine in
the ordinary way. The development Of
this project is one of the interesting
mechanical achievements of the past
decade, and the United States is now
by far the greatest producer of sui
-phur.
Colonel Churchill, chief of the mil
itary intelligence branch of the gen.
eral staff, warns American editors
against publication, as authentic and
reliable, of statements in letters from
American prisoners in German camps
Of the excellence Of the food and gen.
eral treatment of the prisoners.
An officer Of the military intelligence
branch who spent two years of the
war in Germany reports that there are
certain rules laid down by the German
military authorities for all prisoners
in letter writing. The price they pay
for the transmission Of their letters is
that they must state that they are well
treated, that the food is good and that
they are contented. The letters of the
prisoners are carefully censored at the
prison camp and any statements made
10 lott fOt
letter writing simply means destruc-
ton Of the letter.
1t is concluded, therefore, that any
information coming from American
prisoners in Germany is absolutely I'M
reliable and should not be published in
American newspapers or magazines as
in any way authentic. A few letters
from apparently contented American
prisoners in camps have made their
appearance already in American news
papers.

DISEASE IS
EVER The SAME

And in view Of this fact a medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparila, which has
been successful for more than 40
years, is a safe one to rely upon.
Hoods rsapariila is known to the
people Of America as the standard
blood purifier. Its record is one Of
general satisfaction and remarkable
results. There is nothing better as a
general tonic and appetite maker for
weak and run down men, women and
children and old people, invalids and
convaiescents.
1t is pleasant to take, aids digestion,
and supplies the vital organs with
rich red blood essential to perfect
health.

About 70 leaders of Grange work in

which had been anticipated by those
who had taken into consideration the
obstacles presented by weather condl-
tons assembled Wednesday afternoon
in the Hail of Representatives, at the
opening of the Sixth Annual Confer
ence Of Lecturers of Maine state
Grange. which will conclude its ses-
sions this afternoon. Every worker
seemed jealous to share the ideas
gained by individual experience, and
nearly every question propOundcd led
to general and helpful discussion
State Lecturer G. O. Purinton, who
presided said that the present con-
ference will go down in grange history
as the best of any yet held. The con-
ference opened with the singing OF
'Hurrah for Old New England" print-
cd copies Of which were distributed to
all.
Mrs. Carrie BcarCe, lecturer of Capt.
tai grange, gave the address Of well
come. She emphasized the fact that
more is expected of the grange at this
time than ever before and She &c
be carried home from the conference
that will assist in pointing out to
members how they may do the most
possible for their country.
