Building-up for the Spring Attack
at the Front is good deal like putting
the body in condition for an invasion
of the germs of grip, pneumonia or
"Spring fever" here at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin and
white lips. The reason for this is that
during the wintertime, shut up with.
in doors, eating too much meat and
too little green vegetables, one heaps
fuel into the system which is not burned
up and the clinkers remain to poison
the system "a clogging up OF the
circulation with inactive liver and kid

For an invigorating tonic which will

She wasted no time in ordering, for
she had made up her mind days before
exactly what she would have each OF
the three mornings. This morning II
was to be a large baked apple with
cream, poached eggs and coffee and
toast. The baked apples in Peace
street were never large or juicy, and
the eggs were always scrambled.
Probably Peace street eggs were bet
ter that way. Perhaps not the least
delightful feeling that entered into
her perfect bliss was one of outlines.
She felt. in a way, that she was doing
something reckless. That added the
element of spice to her adventure. She
felt that if Mrs. Buttersby saw her
there eating cream on her baked ap-
pies and eating also a poached egg,
she would be furious with her. What
ii one of the boarders saw her and told
Mrs Buttersby? What excitement!
But then Mrs. Buttersby's boarders
never breakfasted at the Morton
House. 1t was really as IL she were at
Palm Beach.
Just then she looked up and she &C
tually looked into the face of Matthew
Watts. He was sitting at a table not
twenty feet away He, too. was eating
was in the act of placing covered
platter before him. He raised the
pewter cover and there were two
poached eggs. Hertense looked away
and then she looked toward him and
she smiled. Of course she had to
recognize him, and of course she
blushed. Then she looked back at her
plate and she didn't look again.
But the next day when she entered
the dining room Matthew Watts was
waiting for her, and without giving
her time to accept his suggestion, he
led the way to a table where he had
arranged that they both should sit

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of men in
Americas Fighting Service

Aviators of the United States navy
were the first men of the American
fighting forces to reach France. Some
of these filters have met death in
flights and others in the hazardous
work of learning. but in every case
heroism has been won by these brave
lads. Among the men lost is Minor
Judson Chaplin, a quartermaster, Sec
ond class, in the United States naval
reserve force. Reports to the navy
department state that he lost his life
in a seaplane accident while in flight
off the coast or at a station in France.
He was one of the brave, quick and
daring young men who make up this
important service. None of them have
been known to .hesitate or falter, but
were always eager and ready. Chaplin
was son of Ora E. Chaplin of GALS

We are raising only about IL per cent
by taxation, the remaining sc per cent

Britain after nearly four years of war
with her smaller population and re-

go in such company if she intends to

The girl should not go out with
other boys if she knows you object

mistake in asking her not to go with

Be careful about calling boys slack
ers simply because they are not in
camp. Many boys would be only too
glad to go, but they are forced to stay
at home because their families are in
need of help from them, or they are
physically unable to go. Also, many
of the boys who stay at home are do
ing as much as they can by buying

OF course 1 know that there are
many boys who are Sinking, but
ask you soldier boys not to be harsh
in your judgment of those who stay
behind. You are doing you part

are not following in your path.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a school

all my fault. We girls are going to

proper for me to ask this boy? He

No, do not ask the boy. Even if the

America has prospered greatly
since August 1, 1914. In the months
that have elapsed to the end of 1917
our foreign trade balance has attained
a total of over eight billion dollars.
This amount of money is more than
seven times the national debt of the
United States. April 1, 1917. The gov
ernment's outstanding interest-bearing
public debt on that date was less than
one billion dollars-only one-fiftieth
of the nations present annual income
This nation possesses one-third of the

the United States equal the combined

STANDING IN OUR OWN LIGHT.

Last year. one New Jersey farmer
actually sold $4,000 worth of prod
uce which he raised on $50 acres. He
sold a thousand dollars worth for ev-
cry acre. The average Jersey farmer
could not for the life of him do tenth
part as we'll as that. The New Jersey
farmer had visited China. where he
studied Chinese methods of farming.
and he brought back with him not
only the methods. but also a number
of specialized vegetables.
Now. if it is possible. by the employ
ment of Chinese methods of intensive
farming. writes Hudson Maxim in
Leslie's. to increase the production of
pendous would be the benefit of wide
Introduction of such methods. The
exhausted lands of New England could
be made to produce like a tropical
garden. The vast areas of the great
west that are today not producing
ten per cent of what they ought to
produce could be made to produce
the other ninety per cent by the intro
duction of Chinese labor.
HCH VIC ldho into consideration
the fact that there is a very stringent
shortage of farm labor thruout the
country. and again take into consider
alton the fact that one Chinese farm
er will get many times as much off a
given area of land as an American Ia
borer. it is not an exaggeration to as
sumo that American farms could, by
the introduction of Chinese labor, be
made to produce several times as
much as they are now producing.
There is land in the United States to
raise food enough to fatten the world
If million Cinnamon were to be
imported. their labor could be restrict
ed to agriculture and the household. A
million such laborers distributed thru
out the country would so increase the
food supply and so lower the cost of
necessaries OF life that the Iaborer
who now earns SO a day would then
be able to buy for SO more food than
he can now get for IS. The artisan
would be able to buy twice as much
for his weekly wage to feed his family
as he is now able to buy.
