REVIVED OLD APPLE STORY
Prisoner Related in Court That His
Adam and Eve Encounter Was
Caused by the Red Fruit.

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with
an apple there has been more OF less
trouble" remarked James T.. Deery,
Judge of the city court, says the Indian
apolis News, "but this morning was
the first time that / have had an ex-
ample o. the trouble which may be
caused between Il man and woman by
an apple"
a man had been arrested charged
with assault and battery on his wife
The wife had tried TO shield him when
she took the stand, but admitted hav-
Ing had a little unpIeasantness with
her mate
When the man took the stand he
asked whether he should tell the story
from the beginning, and when told TO
go ahead started by saying: Judge,
your honor, all this trouble was caused
by an apple"
'Yes, | have heard that story be-
FORE" said the judge. THE Bible even
says that an apple caused trouble be-
tween Adam and Eve. and most people
think that all of our troubles date TO
that time"
But this was real apple" replied
the prisoner. 1--WE had an argument
over it and when my wife became loud
| merely showed her away from me.
Then some nosey neighbors called the
police"
All right said Judge Deery. but
| believe the real cause of this trouble
Is that you do not work steadily. Now.
l am going TO let you 60 this time on
the condition that you heed some adj
vice relative to steady employment,
which friend of yours is going To
give you rs soon as you leave the
courtroom"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
OF the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an fnflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this. tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh. which is an inhamed
condition OF the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HALLS CATARRH
MEDICINE.

SPORTS BLOUSES ARE SIMPLE
Some, Which Are Made of jersey
Cloth, Show Vest of Chiffon
Trimmed With Cotton Frinue.

Sports or travelling blouses are SIM
pie and straight, bordered with cot
ton fringe. Some blouses of jersey
cloth show straight vest of chiffon
trimmed with the cotton fringe. This
vest effect is admirably adapted to q
long jacket in contrasting tone.
Side by side with the simple blouse
are dreSsy designs entirely covered
with embroidery, not arranged as in
previous seasons in round pattern
but running up and down in broad
band effect and covering the surface
OF the material almost completely.
A novelty is embroidery carried out
in square designs, arrayed somewhat
in the manner of n cross.

What Moves Men.

Man does not live by bread alone,
but by the ideals that stir his heart,
observes a writer. Napoleon's men

cold and encouragement of Alpine
passes. Would they ever come through

fired their souls. He called them to

Italy, its warm waters, its orange

CARE OF GLOVES IMPORTANT
Shoes Also Are Likely to Receive More
Attention Than Usual on Account
of High Prices.

Women are learning TO be careful of
gloves these days. The best way, some
women content, is TO purchase several
pairs of really good gloves and make
them give the best service by taking
Infinite care of them, repairing the
least rip instantly, by smoothing the
gloves out fiat and never rolling them
into wad. by protecting them frCm
wet on rainy days and by having them
cleaned before they get SO Soiled that
hard rubbing is necessary. Two pairs
Of white kid dress gloves. one pair OF
heavy dogskin gloves and a pair of
washable cham0iS gloves should be q
fair allowance. Shoes, also. will re-
ceive extra care and attention this
year. Every pair Will be neatly freed
while not in use, oil will be rubbed
into leather TO keep it soft and pliable
and shoes will be exchanged for slip
pers the moment one comes into the
house. The heavy laced sport shoes
for rough weather wear Will stand
much hard usage. but dainty buttoned
boots for formal wear should be care
fully protected by rubbers when pave
ments are damp. A well-cared for
shoe will last longer and look better
while il lasts than one that is treated
without the respect footwear should
have these days OF high prices.

FOOTBALL TACTICS IN WAR.
@=.

An old football player throwing himself upon an alighting shell and hugging it to the ground as if it were a football to >break the force of the explosion with his own body and save the lives of 19 comrades in the British trench where the shell fell, according to the St. Louis Post-Dls- patch, was one of the tragic incidents of unheralded heroism related by George Sherwood Eddy, fresh from the front in France, in speech In which he pictured with vivid detail the physical and moral dangers and miseries confronting the American troops abroad and pleaded with the business men to give all their profits for a year to helping the Y. M. c: A. and other organizations in combat ing these dangers.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
 HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder- standing about the bread program in England. It is true that the English man buys loaf of bread for less than an American can, but 1t is poorer bread, and the British government Is paying $2OO,OOO,OO0 year toward the cost of it.
 All the grain grown in Great Brit ain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on the markets at the prevailing ms rket price. This is turned over to the mills by the govern ment at price that allows the adul- terated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5 cents.
 In France, under conditions some what similar, but with a larger ex- traction, the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
 From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
 Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europes tre- mendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward
 The United States food adminis- tration reports that American stock rasers have shown a disposition to cooperate with the government in in- cSeasing the nations supply of live stock.
 Germany today is probably better supplied with live stock than any oth- CT European nation. When the Ger man armies made their big advance into France and then retreated vir- territory approximately 1,S00000 head-were driven behind the German lines.
 But in England-where 2,4OO,OOO acres of pasture lands have been turn ed into grain fields-the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September, $17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIT 28; November and December, $16.O8; Jan- lary, $14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the mar ket as soon as possible.
 In France the number of cattle as we'll as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,8O7 ,OOO head of cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,- 341, 1,9O0 a decrease of 166 per cent. And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and One-half gallons before the war
 Denmark and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef because of the lack of necessary feed.
 Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Ad- ministration that the future problem of America lies largely in the produc- tion of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the pro- duction of cereals for export when the war will have ceased.

FACE the FACTS

I EFT us face the facts The situation is critical L Unless the Allies fight they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight at their best; hungry nations France, England, and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them Wheat savings-They must have wheat It is the best food to fight It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them. By saving just little less than quarter of what ate last year-we can support those who are fighting our battles. And we can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food There's a surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need. It has given in such bounty never known before. Tons of Train loads of corn Five hundred million bushels and above our regular needs All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made easy? And so clear?
 Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived it. Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a continent. For great section of our country it has bong the staff of life. How we'll the South fought it, history tells. Now it help America win world war.
 Learn Something It isn't one food. It's dL dozen It's cereal ere, It's vegetable It's a bread dollar for dollar than n meat or eggs or most other know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked. Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic. Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about corn? About how good it is? About the many delicious ways of cooking it?

MANY REGISTRANTS 18
YEARS OLD MAY BE RE-
PORTED AS DEsERT-
ERS.
Must Return Questionnaires tc
Local Board Even Though
Hoatilitios HayA Ceased,

Hostilities Have Ceased.
Adjutant General McCrory has
just called the attention Of the
Local Boards to the fact that
many 18-year-old registrants ap-
parently do not understand the
seriousness Of the QUESTIONABLE
and their classification; and are
not returning questionnaires to
the Local Boards.
In some parishes q very large
percentage Of young men in the
Is year group have not returned
questionnaires, and in nearly ev.
cry parish some Of these regis
trants have failed to comply with
regulations.
It is thought that in many in
stances the failure to return the
QUESTIONABLE is due to an i'm
preston that the return Of the
questionnaire is not required. in
view Of the fact that hostilities
have ceased. However, these
must be returned, in accordance
with the orders Of the War De.
partment.
A serious penalty awaits the
man who fails to return his ques-
tionnaire, and the same procedure
will be taken as was taken in
cases Of mon who failed to retnr
questionnaires prior to the ign-
ing Of the armistice. These men
are reported as delinquents, and
subsequently, as deserters if they
refuse to return QUESTIONABLE.
General McCrory has asked the
Local Boards to use every effort
to secure the return Of the ques-
tionnaires, and properly classify
these young men. Many Of these
young men do not read the news
papers. and it is urged that every
