We hear much of the standard of
living, and that what man earns now
does not buy as much as 1t used to.
Well, what else does he expect? Who
is paying for this war, and who sup
ports the boys on the front? Why,
everybody does, by simply living on
less than he used to live on, says Ohio
State Journal. 1t is the difference be-
tween the standard Of living now and
the standard before the war that is
paying for our part in the battle for
democracy. Where do you suppose the
$50 month paid the soldier boys and
the cost of their food and clothes come
from? Out Of the air? No, indeed.
It all comes from the self-denial of pa
triotic men and women who accept the
burdens Of the war days without mur-
muir or complaint. This nation is
weakened by extravaganza and proflig-
acy. 1t is strengthened by self-denial
and economic living. The duty of u
true American is as plain as a noun
tainslde.

Francis A. Pierce, second daugh-
ter of the late James II. Pierce,
passed from this life very sudden
ly on Thursday morning, March
21, of apoplexy.
Frank, as the family preferred
to call her. had been in poor health
for about five years and not aris-
ing at the usual time, her sister
Matte went to the room and see
ing her in reclining position she
approached the bed only to be
shocked by the discovery that she
was dead.
DR.. Rheinfrank was Immediately
summoned bct found that life was
extinct. She had probably been
dead but few minutes, death
coming as sweet sleep without
pain or struggle.
A mother and four sisters live to
mourn the loss Of a loving daugh-
ter and sister,
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Phely at the
family residence. Two hymns
were beautifully sung by Mrs. A.
R. Williams and the body inferred

Why swaqqer Sticks Are Used.

The use OF ''swagger stick" much
in evidence lately among the boys in
khaki, has been misunderstood in the
United States. In Canada recruits at
any time during the last three years
have, in certain stages Of their train
ing, almost invariably carried these lit
tie canes when off duty, not through
affection or vanity, but simply because
the use of them prevented the young
soldiers from slipping their right
hands into their trousers pockets. The
finished soldier would not think of put
ting his hand In his pockets, but the
soldier in the making is likely, unless
constantly on his guard, to be guilty Of
this breach Of the rules. The Cana
dian youths who jauntily and gayly
swung swagger sticks at Valcartier.

even one short year ago, have since

Now that saving coal is topic Of
nationwide discussion attention is
naturally directed to the part in saw
ing coal which is played by the auto
mobile. There are more than 100000
passenger cars Of this description in
the United States and half u million
motortrucks, each one Of which runs
on an average Of 1000 miles a year.
Suppose the average number Of pas
sengers carried is three. In that case
motor vehicles last year carried 12,-
100000 passengers 16,OOO,OOO,OO miles.

OF coal to have carried these people in
railway cars or street cars or interur-
ban trolleys, not deriving their power
from waterfalls.

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper,

WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD TO RE
MAIN WITHOUT HEAD UNTIL
LEGISLATION ON SUPPLY
BODY is CONSIDERED

! Washington, January 16-With the
announcement today of the resigna-
ton of Danied Willard as chairman of
the war industries board, 1t was init
mated there would be no appoint
ment Of new chairman pending &C.
ton in Congress on proposals for the
creation of war supply department
or administration that would take
over the work of the industries board
as we'll as that of bureaus of the war
and navy departments. The task of
perfecting the proposed legislation
was undertaken today by the Senate
military committe, which temporarily
suspended its investigation of war
preparations for the purpose. Daily
meetings of the committee will be
held until bill for one-m11 control
of munitions and supplies is ready
for presentation to the Senate.
Mr.. Williards request to be re-
/ lieved was sent to the President in a
letter dated January II, IN which he
said government occupation of the
railroads had raised so many unfor-
seen and intricate difficulties that it
seemed clear that he should devote
all his time to the affairs of the B. &

he was confident there were others
better qualified than he for the posi-
ton.
While there had not been the slight
est advance information of Mr.. Will
lard's intention to resign, during his
recent testimony before the Senate
committee, he strongly advocated one

pressed the opinion that Secretary

voluntary effort.
