CAN'T GET TOBACCO.

Paris, Jan s-French tobacco and
cigarettes are now obtaanable IN Paris
only once each week and even then
during the space OF but about thirty
minutes. During that half hour the
tobacconists shops present about the
same appearance as did the coal and
wood yards during the fuel famine
last winter. It takes from three to
a half dozen policemen for each shop
to keep waiting smokers orderly while
the weekly supply is being dealt out,
and to pacify those that are still in
line when the mo more tobacco" sign
is hung out

Nearly one thousand prominent
people in one city alone have pub
HcIy testified in signed statements

winter complaints that threatened

have added their testimony, and all
unite in proe3atIning LAnOnine the
most ecec&ixe medicine of its kind

CONSTIPATION is
APENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is so essential to health
in advancing age as freedom and
normal activity of the bowels. 1t
makes one feel younger and fresh
er, and forestalls colds, piles, few
ers, and other dependent ills.
Cathartics and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, effec-
tive laxative, recommended by
physicians and thousands who have
used it, is far preferable. This is
the combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin sold by drug
gists under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents a bottle; a trial bottle,
free Of charge, can be obtained by,
writing to DR.. W. B. Caldwell, ass

What Is Concrete?

Concrete manufac-
tured stone is made by
mixing together Port
land Cement, sand and
stone Tor gravel.) Var
ious proportions of each
are used, depending upon
the use to which the CON
crete is put. About half
an hour after mixing
these materials together,
the mass begin to stiffen,
until, in from half-a-day
to a day, it becomes so
hard that you cannot
dent it with the hand. By
a month the mass is hard
like stone-indeed, hard
er than most stones.
| We have many book
lets relating to concrete
and cement work which
we would be pleased to
send you.

RED CROSS DRIVE
Solicitors Busy This Week.
Service Last Sunday.

solicitors started out promptly
Monday morning to collect the
precinct quota-S8So.
Plans for the local drive had
been perfected by the advisory
committee in session with the local
member of the county council of
defense, Miles Egbers, Sunday
afternoon. 1t was q task OF hours,
as about 900 names had to be gone
over and individual quotas fixed,
based upon information gathered
in the war census recently taken.
The precinct was divided into ten
districts-6ve in town and FIVE in
the country. Solicitors were ap-
pointed for each district and given.
a list of names. The organization
is very complete and the plan will
be employed in all future war
drives, with change of solicitors
for each drive.
The drive was preceded by the
special Red Cross service in the
Presbyterian church Sunday even
ing, at which o. w. Stone presid-
ed. Special music was furnished,
singing by the Methodist choir and
the audience being led by N. H.
Taylor. Mrs. Lavender played
the accompaniment. A prayer by
c. F. Lathrop. was followed by the
scripture reading by Mrs. C.
Sage.
Mrs. Fl. A. HunsleY gave an
exhaustive resume of the greatness
and vast scope of the work Of the Red
Cross and It's recent growth TO over
100000 members. She also told
how and where the money raised is
expended under the careful super
vision OF the government.
Mrs. j. w. Post told Of the work of
the Rathdrum branch of the Kootenai
county chapter. The branch started
last year with 10 members now has
nearly 800 members.
Supt, j, ID. Davis spoke on the
relation, Of the Red Cross to the
church, First he explained that the
great Church is Christianity, typify-
log sacrifice, love, and life according
to the Golden Rule. Christianity
knows no boundaries, no nations.
1t Is universal. 1t is not man made.
1t is spiritual. This spirituality of
the Christian world, Mr.. Davis then
pointed out, expresses itself through
man made organizations, (amonp
which we find the church denomina
tlons,) established for the purpose OF
looking after mans physical, mental,
moral and spiritual welfare. The
Red Cross Is a man made organiZa
oiou cuUlIc'y. LIS ueepeT ueeu WdS
that of the battlefield but it admins
terS to the physical needs of people
everywhere. 1t IS fruit OF Christ
lanity-the same tree Uf which the
man-made churches are the fruit.
Through it Christian people can
express the spirit of sacrifice, The
greatest principle of Christianity, as
exemplitled by the Master when he
was on earth.
L. E. kirkpatrick, chairman of the
advisory committee, gave complete
and concise account of the plans
made for the local drive and Of the
expectations of the committee, with
The cooperation of the people in
general, of raising the quota. H.
sard any Oversubscription would be
held 10 the local treasury to apply on
the next drive.
The county quota Is aDDOrtioned as
