BAREFOOT NATIVES OF AFRICA

Wearing Them.

Among native African men living
near mission stations boots are often
worn on Sundays to go to church in,
or rather with, for the footwear is al
most invariably carried slung over
an arm OF shoulder, this being more
comfortable for the feet and less
wearing on the boots. Still, on
nearing the church, they are put on
with much seriousness and impor-
lance; the more shutting and noise
they make the better, and should a

er and envy of his friends are beyond
all description.
'"This natural antipathy to wear
ing boots" says Professor Holloway
in the Wide World, "does not apply
to the South only. In some colonies
where the native troops are supplied
with boots, when on the march they
will beg their officers permission to
walk barefoot, and in comfort. re-

WORKERS UNABLE TO SLEEP
German Production Greatly Decreased
BY Persistent Work Of French
Bomb Dropping AirpIanes.

Over a manufacturing town in
France which the Germans have cap
tured and converted into little Es-

dropped bombs SO methodically night

arms has been reduced so per cent,
for the puddlers and machinists have

made this statement to Gouverneur
Morris at a luncheon in Paris, ac-
cording to an article in Leslie's:
The number of bomb-dropping
craft is at present about equally di-
vided between the Germans and the
allies. But the ends which the con-
tending factions seek to attain are
not the same. :.

the Germans have temporarily taken

ways, contains coal and iron; the
Germans have turned If info a kind

French bombing, the puddlers and

MONEY IN HERBS.

People who grew medicinal herbs
last year found them a paying
crop. One ounce of belladonna seed
is enough for an acre and yields
from five to six tons. Last year bel
ladonna realized 500 ton. Colchi-
cum is another paying plant, the
roots fetching IL cents a pound and
the seeds 48 cents. Dozens of other
plants are wanted, including hem
bane, digitalis, valerian and camo-
mile. The supply of dandelion is
quite inadequate to the demand.

URGES MORE FISH AND GAME
kentucky Newspaper Believes Re-
suits In Some Places More Profit
able Than Farming.

In Maine, in Canada, in the
Rocky mountains and in other parts
OF the country where game abounds,
or where fish abounds, many resi-
dents make profit upon the nat
ural resources Of their vicinage by
guiding visiting sportsmen, by board
ing them and by serving their needs
in other ways. Game wardens in
Kentucky have suggested that Ken
lucky mountaineers make an effort
to conserve fish and game and cap
italize resources which once were and
should again be more fruitful than
farming where the little cornfelds
are slanting and the yield from erod-
ed soil is small. There are sections
of the mountains in which farm land
is fertile, but there are considerable
areas, providing excellent cover for
game, in which farming as practiced
is not very profitable. There are
mountain streams which would be
ideal for the purposes of the angler

counties they traverse in aiding the

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is 1t?

Thousands Yes, hundreds Of thousands Of
people throughout America are taking the slow
death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach, the
best friend they have, and In their sublime
ignorance they think they are putting aside
the laws of nature.
This is no Sensational statement; Il is a
startling fact the truth Of which any honor
able physician will not decay.
These thousands Of people are swallowing
daily huge quantities Of persin and other
strong digestefs. maze specially to digest the
food in the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane Of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed
stomach In FIVE minutes they do more. Taken
regularly for few weeks they build up the

The appalling ravages of Spanish influenza

teen months participation in the battles of
the European war.

each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the
