BURNING THE LEAVES.
A FesIlSh Waste of What Might Be .
 Valuable Fertilizer.

Valuable FGrSillxOrs
 Many tom of valuable fertilizer are wasted every year through our practice of raktng the fallen leaves from lawns and parks into the street and burning them. We destroy one of the best of nature's fertilizers, that on which she relies for the renewal of the vegetable humus in the soil
 All natures protection iS removed h the interest of tdiness. Then wo won der why lawns must be 90 frequendy resodded and why grass seed wont catch" The fallen leaves protect tho roots of grass and shrubs from the freezing and thawtng of winter and deposited in a corner of the back yard with little earth thrown over them to prevent their blowing RwaEs in q year or two arc converted ipts what the forester calls "duhr," an organic ma terial which makes the Ioam that grows the farmers best crops
 It is an excellent top dressing for the lawn and enrichment for flowers and shrubs and, mixed with Httls ordinary earth, a most desirable soil for filling the window boxes and repotting plants, something hard to get in town. It Is invaluable to the amateur gardener who utlizes his back yard, and yet 1t Ia almost invariably wasted We pay thousands of dollars every year for phospbates and nitrStes and overlook this valuable product of natures labor story.-Detroit Free Press.

How to Look Years
 Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years younger after the use of ordinary mercolized wax for from ten days to two weeks. This remarkable sub stance because of its peculiar ab- sorptive power, actually removes the thin veil of faded or withered outer cuticle, a little at a time. Gradually the fresher, more youthful skin un- derneath is revealed. This absorption process being a purely hygienic one, an entirely natural complexion is ac- quired-quite different from the ar tificial complexion, which appears anything but girlish, though often bearing painful evidence of childish ness. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is suffi- scient to rejuvenate any complexion. It is put on like cold cream at bed time, and removed mornings with warm water.
 To eradicate such age marks as wrinkles and furrows, make a wash lotion by dissolving an ounce of pow dered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. This has wonderful astringent and tonic properties. It quickly ef- faces all kinds of wrinkles, no matter how caused, making the skin firm, smooth and young looking-Adv.

The statement of the Austrian gov ernment that it adhered to the point of view expressed by President Wilson in his last communication upon the rights of the peoples of the dual mon- archy, and of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs in particular-one of the greatest concessions that Austria Hungary could make was considered as re1ecting the chaotic conditions in the empire. Emperor Charles, 1t was said, doubtless realizes that condi- tions cannot long remain as they now are. and accordingly he is exertlng even more strenuous efforts than his ally to obtain a peace not to onerous or too humiliating
 In regard to this Austrian assertion, it was pointed out that nothing is said about guaranteeing the complete in dependence of these peoples. It was thought in some quarters today that the President will demand that such guarantees be offered before consent ing to transmit the Austrian proposal to the Allies.
 London, Oct. 29. ---Austria's reply to President Wilson is viewed as an un- conditional surrender. Although rec ognized as an event of momentous importance, main interest lies in the fact that Germany has not as yet made reply, and Austria awaits it. The Chronicle says: Tt completes the isolation of Germany, if it de- cides on a war of defense, it must be prepared to meet invasion from the Austrian side, where the whole Italian army will be able to operate against it."
 The Daily News likens the chaos ir Austria Hungary to that in Russia saying: "Chaos may follow in Ger many"
 Emphasizing the serious conse' quences for Germany, but reiterating nevertheless its former warning to the Allies not to make terms for an armis' tice such as to sting Germany into resistance the Post says: ''It now re mains fir Austria's plenipotentiarie! to go with the white flag to Italian headquarters and when Austria-Hun gary has been, disarmed and her ar mics demobilized it will be for Italy and the Allies to decide upon the terms"

MORALE OF SOLDIERS

One of the things. most essential to the successful conduct of war is morale.
 Morale is not only necessary among the real fighting forces--the army and navy; its existence among the forces back of them, among the people, is of equal importance.
 Morale is the collective term of zeal, spirit, hope, confidence. The greater the morale. the greater the achievements, the surer and quicker the results.
 The morale among our troops, both on land and on sea has proven itself in their valorous performances during the war.
 | The morale of the American people back of them has shown itself in the spirit, with which a peaceful nation tackled the gigantic task of conduct ling a war.
 1 There is danger of breaking this morale by failing to give support to , the President the supreme com mander of our army and navy and the chosen leader of the forces back of them the American nation. Support of the President" means to give to him in the House and the Senate the men whom he prefers, men who are in accord with his poli- ctes and principles, men who are of the party of which he is also the | leader and foremost spokesman.
 Let there be no "break' in the nor ale either at home or abroad!
