PRAYER OF THE ARMY MEN

At the. going, when we stumble up the
gangway to the ship.
While we wish, and curse the wish, that
we could stay;
On the channel, as we watch the yearn-
ing cliffs of England dip,
Help us. Lord. to hide our sickened hearts
away!
On the marches-oh the marches with
the blisters on our feet,
When our kits weigh not much less than
half ton,
And our one idea Of heaven Is place to
sleep and eat
Give us strength. Lord, till our thirty
miles are done!
Through the weary starlit vigils when We
guard the sleeping tents.
When they huddle gray behind US in the
gloom,
Rid us challenge every phantom that our
fear of death invents;
Keep your ears alert to hear the creep
ing doom!
In the trenches, with the bullet-ridden
earthworks squirting dust,
And the peering rifle muzzles splitting
flame;
In the sweating bayonet charges. with the
thrust and wrench and thrust,
Hear us when we, dying. call upon Thy
name!
In the winning. in the losing, in the
triumph. the despair,
Ra we victors or the holders of defeat,
Keeps us mindful of the honor of a ma
ton that we bear;
Let our souls. Lord be above the fate we
meet!

Tiny Stove for Soldiers.

The tiny Japanese stove, known as
kwairo, designed for the pocket or for
bed use, is said to have done much to
lessen the winter sufferings of Russian
soldiers. 1t is described rs resembling
a metal cigar case. It's fuel, invented
about a third of century ago and va
riously improved, is made in hard or
soft sausagelike rolls, one of which
burns for three hours, giving sufficient
heat to relieve freezing or benumbed
parts of the body.

Blame It on Mars.

During the 1916 opposition Of Mars
the northern snow cap of that planet
extended about 1S5 miles farther south
than in the previous opposition. In re-
porting this observation, Prof. w. II.
Pickering suggested that it would be
interesting to see whether a cold win
ter on Mars would be followed by a
cold winter on earth. Apparently this
IDS the case, as the winter of 1861
seemed to have been considerably cold
<r than the average in both Europe
and Scientific American.

"Mutiny on board a ship of mine?'
roared the captain. "What do you
mean by it? Why, I'll have you tied up
and put on bread and water. Over the
side with you! Mutiny on board Of me
Lively! Tumble up there!''
With every order came stride for
ward and correspondingly backward
movement on the part of the three.
The performance would have been
ridiculous if Pearson had not feared
that it might become tragic. He was
descending the steps to his new ac-
quaintance's aid when there arose a
chorus of shouts from the wharf.
THE cops, the cops! Look out"'
That was the finishing touch. The
next moment the three "mutineers"
were over the side and running as fast
as their alcoholic condition would per-
NIT down the wharf.
"Well, by George!" exclaimed Pear
son.
Captain Elisha seemed to be coming
out of a dream. He stood still, drew
his hand across his forehead and then
began to laugh.
We'll" he stammered. "Wen, I
snum! I-I-Mr. Pearson, wonder
what on earth you must think Of me.
l declare the sight Of that gang set me
back about twenty years. They-they
must have thought 1 was the new
skipper Did you hear me tell 'em they
couldn't mutiny aboard Of me? Ho,
ho! Well. I'm an old idiotv'
Pearson stuck his fist into the palm
of his other hand.
"I've got it ~ he cried. II knew your
name was familiar. Why, you're the
mate that handled the mutinous crew
aboard Uncle Jim's bark, the PAGER, off
Mauritius, in the typhoon, when he was
hurt and in the cabin. I've heard him
tell it a dozen times. Well, this is
lucky day for me"
Captain Elisha was evidently pleased
$50 he told you that, did he?" he began.
"That was time and half, T.
The captain started, hastily pulled
out his watch and looked at it.
"Quarter to II" he cried. "And I
said I'd be back at that lawyers office
at half past II. No, no, Mr.. Pearson,

wish you'd come and see me some time.

The young man was evidently de-
lighted.
"Will I?' he exclaimed. Indeed I
will I warn you, Captain Warren,
that I shall probably keep you busy
spinning sea yarns"
"Nothin' 1 like better, though I'm
afraid my yarns'll be pretty dull along
side of your Uncle Jim's."

Already we have shipped to the al
lies our surplus Of wheat and now all
future shipments must come direct
from savings from our daily consump-
ton. If we fail in this we will have
sacrificed thousands upon thousands
of lives to our taste and greed by pro-
longing the war. BY getting food to
the allies we enable them to hold Ger
many until American troops get on the
fighting front, and once they are
there, victory is in sight.

Paper in Surgery.

The increasing scarcity of cotton and
linen for surgical dressings, congresses
and bandages has resulted in expert
ments with a paper pulp fiber tissue
substitute. An Oregon manufacturer
has especially prepared ton of such
tissue which is now on its way to a
noted surgeon in the war zone. If the
experiments with this paper are sue
cessful it will result in an enormous
saving in tonnage and shipping costs,
since 1t could be manufactured in any
quantities in France.-TeXtile World

With a Benediction.

A private had received from England
gift OF new pair Of woolen socks,
and put them on joyfully on the morn
ing before heavy march. He was
soon limping, but got no chance to
take his boots off till the end of 20
mile day. Then he got the socks off,
and found in the toe of one piece
of stiff writing paper, on which he
could just read the words, written in
childish hand:
"God bless the wearer Of this pair
of socks"

The Safest Guide.

The much-praised optimist, although
to be admired, is not safe guide. He
tells us all is well, when it is NOT.
He fails to see the pitfalls and urges
US forward and we fall into them.
Likewise the pessimist, although
Stunned and berated, leads us to be
over cautious. Under his influence we
hopelessly sit down for fear we VIII
fall into the pit, when there is none.
The cautious leader who watches.
waits, and withal is patient expecting
the world to move forward. is always
most trustworthy.

There Is no fat in potatoes.
Lard is nearly 90 per cent fat.
Butter is practically pure fat.
The fat of plants is contained
in the seeds.
At least a third of the body's

Cocoa is the only popular bev-

Body fat is of three kinds

DonI+ Rury Your Bond,

When you and your neighbor have
boupht your Liberty Bonds, don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
hoard. Take them to your country
banker and have him give you certifl-
Gates of deposit for the bonds. Your
banker can take these bonds to Fed
eral Reserve bank and borrow money
for your use in case you suddenly find
Yourself in need of funds. Hiding a
bond Is as bad as boarding money. Keep
the bonds and the money in circula-
ton and the country will pull through
this crisis all right.

WOULD NOT DO FOR
 LOUNGE HEARD

New York, Nov. 15.--Distinguished 1chthologists, and Herpetologists s met here today to hear about the larg- est lizard ever discovered. The enor- nous lacertilian reptile was found in the wilds of Borneo, by II. C. Raven of the American Museum of Natural History
 MT Raven was amazed, he told the scientists, when he met the gigantic lizard, in the jungle. He did not be- lieve it was possible at first, but it was finally established that he had not been deceived by mirage.
 This lizard, officially described as a flesh-eating monster was larger than any reptile of it's species ever before encountered, measuring sixteen feet from nose to tail and built in prOpor- tion. Herpetologists have found frag- ments of what they took. to be pre- historic lizards of enormous size, but the largest onesseen alive, until MT. Raven found his in Borneo, was only 10 feet 8 inches long.

 One day in October, just after the first frost, Mrs. Hilliard, a poor widow missed twenty-one of her chickens, and ole Gooch was hauled before old Judge Bogle, the police magistrate, charged with stealing the poultry. Pat Budge, day chief of police, was Joe's captor and accuser.
 Well, Joe' said the magistrate, "how do you plead-guilty or not guilty?'
 The defendant hung his head, twirl- cd his rusty hat around his thumbs, looked out of the window at a pass ing COW, and cleared his throat. "I'm guilty, Jedge." he answered.

The divisional dugout on the other hand is an institution on winch all armies avail themselves of when convenient.
