"Fittest" Under Arctic Circle.

We think of Greenland as a frozen
and desolate land, fit only for the
abode of the hardy Eskimos. And yet
in Finland, in a severe northern eli
mate, has grown up a hardy and virile
race, Nevin O.. Winter writes In the
Christian Herald. Perhaps it was be-
cause only the sturdiest could survive
under such conditions, for isolation
bred self-reliance and industry vas ne
cessary to existence. At any rate, the
fact remains that the Firms have de-
veloped a civilization that is unique
and of interest. 1t is not surprising,
to M familiar with the Firms and
their history, to know that a republic
has been proclaimed. No people are
more truly democratic. Under the au-
tocratic rule of the cars Finland MAIN
tanned her democratic institutions, and
it was the only part of Russia where
the traveller was free to move about
without having a demand made almost
daily for his passport. The Russian
calendar, which Is thirteen days be-
hind u own, was ignored and in ev-
cry way the public and social customs
differed from those of the Russians.

OUR BOYS lover THERE" EN-
JOY TOASTED CIGARETTES.

Through the patriotism of the citi-
zens of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiersin France. Author
tiles agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country agreat
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes.
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are going over"
all the time. There's something
about the idea of the toasted ciga-
rette that appeals to the men who
spend their time in cold, wet trenches
and billets.
Then, too, the real Kentucky Burley
tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga.
rette gives them the solid satisfaction
of a pipe, with a lot less trouble.

A Chemists V

A few days ago a visitor at the Min
cola aviation camp asked a skilled air
chauffeur what were his most trying
experiences when two or three thou
sand feet aloft. He said the worst
was the numbing effect of the cold,
high wind, combined often with rain.
No equipment has yet been perfected
whereby an aviator under these con-
ditions can protect himself. A be-
numbed aviator reduces the efficiency
of an airplane so per cent or more.
This aviator was informed that the
chemists had solved the problem of a
garment that will keep rain out, that
will maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture of the body and protect from
piercing wind. A distinguished chem
list in the service of a large industrial
corporation was asked if he could per-
feet a formula for cotton cloth that
would furnish a garment practically In
destructible, not cracking, as rubber
does in high attitudes, and that would
keep out cold and rain. He worked
out a cloth which is the delight of
those aviators now using it. It can be
manufactured at very little cost.

Your Bond May Bring
Him Home in Safety

The supreme tragedies of war are not enacted
on the battlefield, but in the home.
Above the shouts of command and encourage
ment, the roar and shock of the great guns,
and all the swelling tumult of battle which
bear the husband and father to a hero's grave
and a martyrs glory, there rise the weeping of
the bereaved wife andthe cries of little children
deprived of a fathers love and care.
American fathers are now on the battlefroats
of France. Many must fall; how many de-
ponds upon us who remain safely at home.
A single Liberty Bond will help to save a soldiers
life, your soldiers life,' and bring him home
in safety to those who hold his life far
more precious than their own.
