Allentown, Pa, Feb. 9.-The break
ing cf a piece of carpet caused the
quick termination of an elopement at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
Stevens, Catasauqua.
The carpet was being used by Paul
Froes, of Allentown, a boarder at the
Stevens home. to lower Miss Meta
Stevens from the second story. 1t

. and she fell to the ground. Her
screens attracted the parents. a
Froes made hasty exit down a fight
of stairs and through the yard. In his
haste Froes lost his hat, but never
stopped to regain il.
The girl, who is seventeen years of
age, was carried into the house and
DR.. H. J. Ke;m summoned. The ply
sician found she had sustained no
more serious injuries than bruises
about the back.
Froes has been employed at a lum-
Der yard at Catasauqua. He has not

GAIYc ...s:.,.:!!f F!EYV MEMBERS
Red Cross Adds 17,5oo,ooo in the Re-

Washing on, Feb. 9.-Figures now
available On the Red Cross Christmas
membership drive show a total en-
rollment of %, ,475,O 900, or % per cent
of the population of the United States.
OF this total the Red Cross had
about 100000 members before the
Christmas drive started, so that the
gain from the drive was approximate
ly 17500,000 new members. The ceR
tral division, of which Chicago is the
headquarters, leads the other twelve
divisions of the country in the nun-
Der of new members enrolled Christ

From the fourteenth division CON-

the showing is considered exceptional

Everywhere Next Week.

Washington, Feb. 9.-HeatIess Mon
days have been suspended in all the
states south OF Virginia.
DR.. H. A. Garfield, the fuel admins

AS today is being observed gen

English Women Baking Own Bread.

In an article called voluntary Ra-
Honing" in Woman's Home Compan-
ion, writer says:
Bakers are forbidden to deliver
bread before it is twelve hours old.
This, in itself, has helped the saving
Of wheat very materially, as people
do not fancy stale bread. And the
housewife, in her own home baking,
has learned this valuable lesson also.
She puts her freshly baked bread
away to stale for II or "a hours. For
many years English bakers bread has
been so good and so cheap that it
has formed a large part of the daily
menu. But government regulation
bakers bread is, FOR the most part,
SO unpalatable that women have be-
come home bakers. They mix the
standard flour with other meals and
produce a bread which is far more
palatable, at less expense, and still
comes within the rations. The supply
Of -four being so limited, pastries and
cakes have become rarities in stores

Domestic Wood for Walking Sticks.


The United Kingdom has long taken
the lead in the manufacture of walk
ing sticks, and large proportion Of
the output was made of raw material
grown in the British isles, such as
ash, chestnut, oak and similar woods.
The Importation of finished sticks has
always been small, but before the war
a considerable amount Of raw or
partly finished material was imported,
such as malacca canes, ebony, wang
hees, roof bamboo, nilgherri, etc.
Cherry sticks and what is known as
Congo" wood were formerly imported
from Germany and Austria, where
they are grown. For a time after the
outbreak of the war the stocks on
hand, both here and in neutral coun.
tries, met the demand, but gradually
the trade has become more depend
ent upon homegrown goods, and con-
sequently a greatly increased demand
Tor domestic raw material has arisen.

Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated

with a cold-always trace this to tor
pid liver; delayed, fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gaSsy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead of being cast out
of the system, is re-absorbed into
the blood. When this poison reaches
the delicate brain tissue it causes
congestion and that dull, throbbing,
sickening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undiges-
ted food and foul gases, take the ex
cess bile from the liver and carry out
all the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

straighten you out by morning. They

from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
