of the Davis garage, caused by the ex-
plosion of gasoline heater for a vul-

spread to the whole of the upper part
of the building, completely destroying
the work room, which was in the
front part, right over the big doors of

Cure for Dysentery

while / was in Ashland, Kansas, a
gentleman overheard me speaking of
chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw of
Des Moines, Iowa. HE told me in de-
tail of what it had done fer his family,
but more especially his daughter who
was lying at the point of death with a
violent attack Of dysentery, and had
been given up by the family physician.
Some of his neighbors advised him to
give Chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy, which he did, and fully be-
lieves that by doing SO saved the life Of
his child. He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equally
gratifying results

debt, but also has surplus to draw
on, as the result of an energetic cam

weeks ago, it was decided to. lift the
debt of between five and six thousand
dollars with which the church was bur-

congregation and in three days had not

SET AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
Street Car Passenger Left Fare With
Woman Who Took Advantage of
Opportunity to Be Dishonest.

The man in the corner seat looked
worried. At last he spoke.
Madam" he said, Twill you kindly
take this nickel and give it to the con-
ductor when he comes around? / have
been trying to catch his eye, but he ap-
parently does not see me. Will you see
that he gets it?''
The woman sat bewildered in the
presence of such extraordinary hon
esty, but she goOd-naturedly accepted
the trust After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish a line
of communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
But you shouldn't have been SO ac-
commodating," said her husband. you
should have got off at your corner"
"But how could I?'' the woman ar
gned. with that mans honesty be-
fore me as an example of right living
l simply had to turn his nickel over to
the conductor"
Maybe you are right" said the man
admiringly. Women certainly do have
fine notions about these things. But
it is too bad. You had to walk back"
"Oh, no, / didn't walk" she said. "I
rode"
And that cost you another nickel"
mo, it didn't" she said. 1.-THE con-
dnctOr never even looked my way
when he came through, and / got of

Gotham.

The original Gotham was an old
parish and village in Nottinghamshire
England, the inhabitants Of which are
reputed to have shown their wisdom
by playing the fool in order to dis
suade King John from passing
through their town, and thus save
them the expense of maintaining and
entertaining him. The city Of New
York was first called Gotham by Wash
ington Irving ("Salamagundi," 1900,
in allusion to the pretentions to wis
dom of it's inhabitants.

Der of well separated words-such as

GOOD ADVICE.

"Talk less and say more" is the adj
vice given to group of girls. No one
expects girls conversation to be pro-
found and philosophical, but there is
no doubt that more thinking before
speaking would make the words of
many girls better worth hearing. The
trouble is not that girls lack intelli-
about using their brains.

A. w. GLEASON,
Power of the Buzzard.

The power of the buzzard to sail
through the air for long periods with
little or no apparent movement of the
wings is due to it's expanse of the
wing surface. Birds with smaller wing
surface make up for this by rapidity
of the motion of the wings.

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

So great is the faith Of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment Of
members In the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number Of people in their ju-
risdictions. The Roll Call will be I'm
ished only when every available per-
son., without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
ries, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents a year. The chief
aim in enrolling is not to raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
ilege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tributing Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000. Life Member at
$4,000 or Patron at $4,000.

THE CLIMAX TO VICTORY.

During the week before Christmas
the entire American people will have
the privilege of answering the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call. The re-
Spouse should roar. through the land
with a unanimity that will stimulate
to the uttermost the hopes of men in
all parts of the earth. 1t will there
fore be the climax of American ideal
ism and will usher in Christmas with
Red Cross membership approximate
ing the census figures. What the Red
Cross wants is the approval Of the
American people Of the Red Cross pol
icy, and such approval will have the
highest significance in the eyes Of suf-
fering people everywhere. President
Wilson leads the response and passes
along the message, II summon you to
the comradeship."
