STORE COLLECTS NUT SHELLS
{. b. Miller Will Aid in Gathering Ma
terial for Gas Masks.

The c. b. Miller Shoe Company has
installed a striking and novel recepta-
Gle in the entrance to its store for col
lecting fruit stones and pits and nut
shells which the Red Cross is collect
ing for the Government to be made
into carbon for gas masks.
The receptacle is made of a small
barrel covered with red-white-and-
blue crepe paper and it is placed on
top of a small show case so that ii
strikes the eye of the passer-by i'm
mediately. A poster with the word

stop" in large letters just behind the
receptacle tells the kind of stones,
pits and shells wanted and the pur-
pose for which they are used.
The sign says, Save peach. apricot,
prune,, plum, olive, date and cherry
stones and Brazil. walnut, butter nut
and hickory nut shells The carbon
produced from these materials when
placed in respirators will save the
lives Of soldiers by absorbing Ger
man poison gas. Dry materials and
deliver to points designated by the
Red Cross. Do your bit. Save the
Pit"
The receptacle was made by George
Helm. a salesman in the stores. He
got the idea from the st. Louis depart
ment stores, many of which have in
stalled collection boxes in their en-
frances Red Cross workers COM
mend the idea and suggest that it be
copied by other Columbia stores.
Country stores are especially asked
to install collection boxes because
people living en- farms have fruit and
nuts in more plentiful supplies than
townspeople.
One shipment of shells and pits has
been sent cut from Columbia by the
Red Cross. They were collected most
ly by persons bringing them directly
to the Red Cross rooms. A L. Fer
guson contributed large part of this
shipment beu1use of prize he offered
for the boy who collected and brought
to his dug store the largest amount.
All Columbia stores are asked by the
Red Cross to urge the collection of
the stones ami shells by their custom

Some years ago vegetable wax was discovered that has the power to quiet nerves, and thus stop infamma. lion, without injury; this we combine with extracts that destroy disease germs and prevent infection. We make this compound into salve. with the result that we have local rem edy that promptly relieves practically all kinds of pains, such as Rheuma- sism, Neuralgia, Toothaehe. Earache, Sprains, Burns. Boils etc.
 This salve Is obviously also the best thing for Catarrh and Group: In fact its quick action in the latter danger GUS complaint Is simply marvellous; and being harmless. 1t can be used in- eernally for Collie, etc.
 Of course the success of Vacher- Balm caused many limitations to ap- pear, so be sure you get the genuine which has the signature of K. w. yACHER on every package. It Is put up in 25e and 50c jars, and 25c tubes.
 If you have never tried VacherBalm write to E. w. yacher, New Orleans, Ia, for Free Sample. No family should be without this remarkable rem edy: 1t saves so much suffering.
 If your druggist will not get Vacher- Balm for you, we will supply you di- rect, md give you the agency. We supply our agents with Free Samples that sell the jars or tubes without any Trouble.-Adv.

LEFT MIR. WEDDERLY WORRIED
Nothing but Temporary Mental Aber- ration Could Account for His
 Unprecedented Action.

Mir. Wedderly's wife was gone and he was under the painful necessity of having to shift for himself, even to the extent of hunting for his hat, as he was now doing. He had appar- ently exhausted every conceivable place where a hat loves to hide when its owner is in a surry. Every nook and cranny in the house that he could recall as having been the place of refuge of his headgear on former occasions was absolutely hatless. Wherever he looked his hat wasn't there.
 The situation was fast becoming desperate. Finally. when hope al- most had fled his face suddenly as- sumed a diabolical grin. It was the last resort. He went to the clothes closet and looked in There was the truant hat. In moment of mental alteration he had actually put the hat where 1t belonged. He resolved that 1t should not occur again. An other such experience might wreck his mind entirely.
