Out of His Rance.

A young man stepped into a sporting
goods store recently, relates the indiana
apolis News, and asked to see some
guns. His remarks indicated that he
was sportsman of a decidedly anna
flourish sort. The obliging salesman
brought forth all manner and varieties
Of weapons, from a .22-caliber rifle to
latest model pump" gun, but nothing
brought any response Of satisfaction
into the young fellows face. Finally
the salesman handed him a high-power
rifle, used for big game, with the re-
mark, "This beautiful little gun, sir, is
just what you want, I believe. 1t kills
at 5000 yards" The young man shook
his head, more in doubt than ever.
"No," he said 81 am afraid 1 couldn't
use it at all. Tou see, 1 have to get
much closer than that"

tic is usually the remedy which should
be tried, but only as temporary ex-

habit will be formed. 1t is seldom good
pollcq to substitute new bad habit
for an old one. To prevent the consti-
patton headache, employ a laxative
diet. Heed Hover and cure your head
aches. For white bread, substitute bran
and corn meal. Reduce your meat ra-
ton; eat nuts, fresh vegetables, fruits
drink water between meals; get some
exercise.
Impure air causes headaches. If
you find it to be the cause of yours,
air your lungs and skin. See the office

In case of headaches, which begin
in the latter part Of the day, especial

Of absolutely correct glasses. The first
thing in order is a trip to the oculist

At the Theatres

So vast is the scope of scenery o.
tered at Triangle's ranch studio Hart
vile, that but two outside locations
were necessary in the making of the
latest Triangle western drama, "The
Medicine Man," in which Roy Stewart
is featured at the Classic Tuesday.
The story is woven around western
mining town and on the Hartville
ranch lying in the heart of the Santa
Monica mountains and embracing
eighteen hundred acres. Director Cliff
Smith found almost everything need
ed IN the way of atmosphere from the
mining camp itself to adobe residence
OF the priest, where the villain sought
to force marriage between himself
and the beautiful young heiress.
"The Man Without Country" is a
modernized, up to the minute version
OF that deathless story of American
patriotism read by uncounted millions
OF fathers, mothers and school chill
dren since the Civil war Everyone
who will see this magnificent drama
will be stirred by this apt adaptation
to present-day coditions-the insid-
ious workings of emasculated pacfism
the nobility OF our self-sacrificing
mothers, wives and sweethearts-the
hnal victory over cowardice, the glori-
fication of helping to make the world
safe for democracy.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after Spanish war,
per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed. This is a financial
performance no other nation has ever
equaled. United States 4 per cent
bonds in 1888 sold as high as 100 and
in 1901 brought 1875 on the stock
market. The United States has never
defaulted on any Of its bonds Not
one of its bondholders has ever lost a
cent of principal or interest except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a
period of temporary price depression.
One hundred cents on the dollar,
principal and interest, has the United
States always paid. Back of the $780,
000,000,000 to $500, 000,OOO,OOO of our
national resources stands the rugged
honesty of America Liberty Loan
bonds are the safest security in the
world

Increasing Use of Rare Metals.

among the remarkable industrial
developments to which the European
war has given impetus has been the
enlarged use of the rare metals" says
Maj. William A. Mensch of San Diego,
Cal. Tungsten, vanadium and molyb-
denum, used in making steel, seem to
be the leaders. OF these three perhaps
the least familiar to American steel
makers is molybdenum, which, though
well-known to Europeon forge mas
tiers, has but comparatively limited
use in this country.

The primary election for United
States senator will be held on Tues
day, March 10, three weeks from to-
morrow. 1t happens at time of year
when the farmers are not busy, so
there should be a fairly large vote out
on that day. But as a rule the rural
districts do not make much of a show
ing on primary election day. At least
that has been the history Of past pri-
mary elections. However, it will de-
pend in great measure whether or no
there will be much opposition present
ed in candidates of the big political
parties.
