too, the hasty marriage is respon-
sible ior most OF the trouble.
The theory OF reformatories is
that boys get Strengthened out there,
and saved from what might other
wise develop into criminal careers.
The fact is that many of the crimi-
nal careers start with terms in the
reformatories. And if 80 per cent
OF the boys are sent there because
their parents have failed in their
duty of training them because the
parents could not agree, and if the
maladjusted and inharmonious home
is due to the hasty marriage, there
indeed is an evil chain which should
cause any young girl hesitating on
the brink OF marriage to stop and
consider.
Marrying a man to steady him
against temptation in foreign climes
is a foolish business. Unless 4 man
is the kind to withstand temptation
because OF his own self-respect, an
artificial bond will not help him,
Marrying him to keep him from be
ing lonely is equally futile. 1t will
only make him the lonelier.
Let the girls and boy, wait until
the war is over and matters have
become normal once more. Then
let the girls marry their returned
heroes ii they will. Marriage, to
be worth anything, means home
and family and sticking to ones
bargain. War is no excuse for en-
terins into it lightly.

Thank Heaven for a bath and a
change Of clothes ~ A weeks rest
in billets back Of the line was in
sight.

and as their platoons and companies
took our places, their Sentries re
placing ours, we gave them advice
and few pointers such as BE care

three OF our fellows there yester-
day" or, "There's a toad OF 4
Dutchman batting round out there.
I've had several wallops at him, but
the grease on him defects the bull
let. It's a sure camouhage."
Then we filed out silently joyful
/ ly. We never thought OF returning,
The wonderful prospect OF bath
lett no room for other thoughts.
/ Our billet this time was big
brewery-at least it was a brewery
once, before the enemy's artillery
had treated it scientifically to a few
heavy ones. When we went into it
only two floors OF the six were lett
and the walls looked as if big wind
would see their finish, but what did
we care. Didn't it offer us shelter
for a week, and weren't six big vats
still intact; Those vats held thou
sands of gallons of steaming hot
water, we'll soaped, and in each one
Of them twenty men bathed, ducked
and jumped like 4 bunch OF children,
abandoning themselves with delight
TO luxury OF hot water they had
sIdly needed for months.
You should have seen the con-
tented expressions OF our mems
faces. In clean clothes, some in new
uniforms, they staggered along the
busy streets, among busy trades
/ people, among women and children.
chuCking the kddies under the chin
they knew our Canadian uniforms
and were always following us-the
JOY of it,
As we turned back to the brewery
still saturated with the smell Of stale
beer, anticipating the cozy, warm
beds which we had made by spread
ing hay on the floor we heard faint
ly the call Fall in"
We hurried forward. Half the
battalion was already formed up.
Our officers were there with set
faces. We wondered. Then we were
told. Our colonel addressed us:
Men, know the disappointment
my words will cause. You have had
only one day OF the weeks rest
promised you, but my confidence in
you has never been shaken and
won't be at this time. | have word
from our division commander that
the Canadians are needed right now
to help the contemplate little Brit
ish army as the kaiser called them,
to hold the line" We were with
him heart and soul, and we knew
only too well, il the Germans were
attacking, that every man was need
ed. So with sigh and a curse or
two we swung out Of the old brew

Today | received letter from ar

which had been circulated among
the people OF the community in

ightenment from an official source.
The report was that the secretary

and had been executed by guntire
with his back to a wall. This, the
report ayerred, took place last May,
but the news had been suppressed
By order Of the president, continued
the report. because knowledge by
the American people OF what had
occurred would be detrimental to
the political interests OF the ad-
ministration.
Why, do YOU suppose, did this
intelligent Wyomingite write the
governors Office in regard to such
a report The reason is amazing,
incredible.
He wrote to inquire whether the
story were true!

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
Kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

what you need.

His Discovery.

p A ramshackle automobile rambled up
in front of the Right Place store in
Petunia, and, after considerable slut
tering and hiccoughing, stopped. "Hey,
Hiram ~ called the elderly occupant.
"Come out yere, will ye?"
Light and come in, Uncle Brad"
returned Hi Price, the proprietor of
the emporium, appearing in the door
way. 'Hain't We got time to come in
and set while?
'Nope!" was the reply. 81 hear the
band a-coming, some'rS around the cor
ner, and Lord knows what this con-
traption will do. I've been driving
mules for forty years, and this yere
secondhand machine for two days and
half, and I am persuaded that you
can't place no more dependence in one
than in luther, If as much."-Kansas

hickory, spruce, black locust. yellow
birch, yellow poplar, rock elm. ash,
white cedar Tin the southern states),
and also for the bark of chestnut, oak
and hemlOck if near tannin-extract fac
tories. Large, sound trees of these
species should be cut and marketed
for war purposes, and under no consid-
Grafton used for cordwood except as
their tops and branches may be utilized
for this purpose.
Farm woodlands are also furnishing
perhaps double the ordinary amount
of wood for fuel. This increased de-
mand may result in considerable and
lasting damage to the woodlands I'M
less precautions are taken. On the
other hand. the cutting of cordwood
affords each owner of woodland an
opportunity to clear his land and put
his timber in better condition. To ac-
complish this the idea to keep in mind
is to remove for cordwood the poorer,
less valuable trees, leaving the better
ones to stand. In removing the fuel
wood the greatest precaution should
be taken not to injure the more yalu-
able trees or the young growth.
Briefly, the material which should
be removed is as follows:
Sound sticks lying on the ground,
including tops left in logging opera
lions, and trees blown over by wind.
crushed down by snow or otherwise
toppled over; dead trees which are
sound and still standing; trees which
are diseased, or are so seriously in
jured by insects that they will prob
ably die, and also trees which are spe-
cially subject to serious disease or
insect attack; crooked trees which are
crowding out straight ones; large old
trees unsuitable for lumber, and hav-
ing big tops which shade out numerous
smaller trees growing beneath them,
small trees which are overtopped and
stunted by larger and better ones.
trees of the less valuable kind which
are crowding goods trees of the more
valuable kinds, trees which by some
ed to them; slowly growing trees
which are crowding out equally vaiu-
able kinds that grow faster; trees
badly fire-scarred at the butt, which
usually become rotten and are among
the first to be blown over by heavy
winds.
The ideal trees for cordwood are
those which range from four to about
ten inches in diameter. The yield. of
inches in diameter is very slight, and
trees larger than ten inches in diam
eter are usually more valuable for
some other purpose, unless they are
defective.
