before going back to work. Don't take
chances.

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint.

The British government is wrestling
with the problem of what to do with
dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish
ing stocks Of food. 1t seems settled
that tho number Of dogs is to be re-
duced. There are hardly any dog bis
cults left, and no more will be manu-
featured, as the low grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for the
textile trades.
Bonar Law, chancellor of the eXche-
quer, refused to include heavy tax
on dogs in his budget. which he in
troduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that such tax would
kill dog-breeding as an industry, and
would wCyk unequally between rlch
and poor. The poor mans dog WOULD
be sacrificed, while the pampered
Pekinese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding Of dogs during
the war except under license. The Ell
feet of this would be to allow the per-
petuation of pedigree breeds, which
have taken many years and large sums
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs.
The breeding of mongrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in the future need all their in
genuity to keep pets fed.

Two Senators for Each State,

Congress consists of two senators
from each state, the smallest state as
well as the largest, and q number of
representatives, according to pOpula-
ton. The basis of representation, or
number of inhabitants for a represen-
tative, is fixed by congress under each
recurring census so as to secure ade-
quate representation for every state
without making the house too large
and unwieldy. The Constitution Of
the United States, adopted in 1879,
said the number of representatives
should not exceed one for every 10000
of population, and as no census had
yet been taken, 10000 was adopted as
the ratio Of representation and the
population of the different states was
estimated. By this process the first
house of representatives consisted of
IS members. Since then congress has
passed Is apportionment acts, under Is
different cenSuseS, changing the basis
of representation every time except
once.
In 1900 and in 1910 the ratio was
fixed at one representative for $4,000
population. In 1920 the ratio was in
creased to $4,000, and it has been in
creased every tenth year since till it is
now 211,S77, while the membership of
the house has increased from 90 to 435.

armories, arsenals and navy yards Of
the United States; pilots; marines ac-
tually employed in the sea service of
any citizen or merchant within the
United States shall be exempt from
militia duty without regard to age;
and all persons who, because of reiig-
iOus belief, shall claim exemption from
military service, if the conscientious
holding of such belief by such person
shall be established under such regu-

shall be exempted from militia serv
ice in a combatant capacity; but no
person so exempted shall be exempt
from militia service in any capacity
that the president shall declare to BE-

The tree is only native to the limited
area between southern Florida and
northern South America. Nowhere else
does it really flourish. But the public
will have mahogany. Women want 1t
for furniture, business men prefer 1t
for office fixtures, and teak and ma
hogany are rivals in the affections Of
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
It is not surprising that the real
wood is so expensive when it is learned
that it takes from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty years for ma

Most Of the substitutes bear little
more than a general resemblance to
the genuine wood, but skillful finishing
makes them very much alike. Experts
can usually distinguish between them

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Wcman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, ZOO pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

OLD GOTHIC BARNS
Great Structures in England
Similar to Village Churches.
UnapproachabIe in Dignity; Beautiful
as cathedraIs; No Ostentation Of
the Builders Art.

The great old stone barns of Eng
land, dating, many of them, from the
fourteenth century, are, comparatively
speaking, little known to the general
public, says the Christian Science
Monitor. The beautiful architecture
to be found in the English village
churches has received it's full need of
appreciation, and so, though possibly
in q slightly less degree, have the
fine old manor houses which dot the
countryside and provide a most inter-
esting study in the local variations
which occur in the generally prevail
ing style at any given period. The
barns, however, have been rather neg
lected, and literature on the subject is
practically nonexistent.
Yet the barn is intimately bound up
with the history of the neighborhood
in which it stands, and where, for pos
sibly nearly 500 years, it has been full
filling practically the same eminently
important functions, with little change,
for the benefit of the folk in its neigh
borhood. The methods of the farmer
may vary, but the general routine of
the countryside goes on, much the
same, century after century, and the
great barns still stand ready to house
the peoples food as they have done,
summer and winter, for so many hun
dred years.
These old Gothic barns are very
dignified and very beautiful buildings,
comparable in some ways to the vii
lage churches whose contemporaries
they are, and if they are less ornate,
they are, in their simplicity, hardly
less imposing. Indeed, some people
would give the balance in favor OF
the barns in this matter.
1t is by no means always an easy
matter to tell the precise date of
these barns at first sight, but some
times there is a little carving, bit
of traeery or a final which will supply
the clew, or possibly again, the form
of a buttress may afford an indica-
ton; but fortunately there are gener-
ally local records to which access may
be had containing details of the origin
and foundation of the barns.
Among the famous fourteenth CEN
fury barns of England are those at
Glastonbury, Wells and Pilton in SOM
ersetshire, Great Coxwell in Berkshire
and Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire. These
are all what may be described as barns
of the first magnitude; great cruel
form buildings which N we'll vie in
size and dignity with many churches.
Of the barn at Great Coxwell, Will
liam Norris said that it was "unap-
proachable in its dignity, as beautiful
as cathedral, yet with no ostentation
of the builders art" and he always
declared that it was one of the finest
buildings in England or anywhere else.

Bin Oil SuppIy.

Last year the United States pro-
duced 341, 100000 barrels of crude oil,
approximately 6S per cent of the
worlds consumption. In 1916 its
share was about 65 per cent. A large
part of the fuel oil used by the Brit
ish navy comes from Mexico. Last year
Mexico produced 60,O00,OO0 barrels,
about 100000 barrels over the out
rut the year before. Russia in 1917,
produced 100000 barrels, a falling
off of about 100000 barrels from the
1916 production. In the Dutch East
Indies 100000 barrels were pro-
duced last year and 100000 barrels
the year before. Roumania in 1917
produced 100000 barrels as COM
pared with 100000 the year pre-
vious. Most of the Roumanian oil
fields are now under control of Ger
many.-The Pathfinder.

Names of DAYS.

The Roman names of the days have

day is Monan-daeg with the Saxons.
Dies Lunae with the Romans. Tues
day is, among the Saxons, Tues-daeg-
that is, Tuescos day-from Tuesco, a
mythical person, supposed to have
been the first warlike leader of the
Teutonic nations; among the Romans
It was Dies Martis, the day of Mars,
their god of war. The fourth day of
the week was. among the Saxons,
Woden's-daeg, the day of Wooden. or

wariike reputation among the northern
nations, and the nearest In character
