upTo Us AlL.

It is up to ls all during the war to so conduct ourselves that we shall be fit to shBile hands with the American soldiers when they return from France.
 The citizens who by their conduct embarrass the government in thes. strenuous times should win the ever lasting disrespeet not only Of the loyal men at the front. but of the loyal men at home.
 The leve!- headed workman who in an address to agitating wertmen at Coventry, Eng, said, Strike and you go to hell; stay on the job, ane you can sake hands with the soldier when he returns" struck the key note for the citizens of all the en- tente countries.
 Strangely enough every German drive has been followed by .ha,s dozen strikes in America no doubt, more due to German influence tha l any real grievance; and such men must gtop playing with the Huns 0 fall to the disrepute Of the old cop per-heads during and following the Civil War
 When the American patriot returns from France he will be likely to have a cold hand for the men who by their blatancy or half-heaFtedness excited the dissus' of their fellow citizens.
 The true blue American is the only one to whom pleasant future is as- sured.

 Ghe purpose of the article has been, not so much to tell a soldier or sailor how he may govern himself in any specific case. Each mans situation differs from his fellows. The safe rule in all cases is to consult a lawyer, and in these days most lawyers ara very glad to answer the simple ques- tionS of soldier or a sailor Law yers are just as anxious to do their bit as anybody else.
 But the writer's object is to set the mind of the soldier or sailor to work upon the legal status of his own af- fairs. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. By signing a simple instrument a man who gees to war may save all kinds of trouble and eX- pehse, if he acts before he goes. If you are ifi camp, you will find some where among the officers, lawyers WHO Call SlN6 gOu S6uSfdi duNicel anu notaries or commissioners who can witness your signature.
 Think of all the property you've got Of all the money you owe; of your mortgages leases. all moneys due you or to grow due; how any given situation can De handled; how you can best dispose of matters to cover a sudden emergency, the ill., ness or death of a member Of your family
 There are several phases to be con l sidered-the period after you are called and before you actually leave i home, the period while you are still in this country the period during which your family cannot hear from you; your reported death; your death; your return, wholly or partially iflcapacit- ated for business, and so on. Think on these things; 1. What effect is my absence from my home going to have upon my pe&- sonal affairs even though my where. abouts are known and it is certain that am still alive?
 i ?. What effect is my absence going to have, particularly when my where abouts is uncertain, and when I can not be reached?
 B. What effect will follow the un- certainty-po possibly prelonged--as tt whether I am alive or dead. For this situation is one infinitely mere difA- cult to deal with, from the legal stand. point than where death is fact as- eertained beyond a doubt.
 4. What effect will my return have mentally or physically disabled, or ih. cspacitated from personal attendance
 upon business matters?
 5. What, finally will be the effeci of my death?

STORIES OF THE WAR
A ROMAN DARE DEVIL

Austin West writes the London Chronicle from Milan:
 About the same time that the cham pion Italian pilot, Baraeca, perished in battle near Menteilo, the famous young Roman daredevil Baruzzi, the leader of the Italian bfaTado bands. disappeared in the whirlpool battle of Fagare. Strange to say, both heroes were born the same day in the same little town of Lugo, and both wore the rare and much-coveted gold medal for valor m war. Among many astouhd- ing feats, Bar1zzi, on the eve of the taking of Gorisia, capAured 300 Aus trians single handed under the IsonEo railway bridge, making them believe they were surrounded and marching them back prisoners Then, gathering a handful of his desperadoes, he dash ed back. 10 attack the enemy rear glsFd- till the glorious Pavia and CasRie Brighdes arrived on the scene and all together flung themselves into a grand charge that drove out the Aus trians beyond the gates of Gorizia.

 The government will control the output of the mills and the grades and qualities of cloth are to be brought down to the least number.
 The nanufaeturefs eeneede that the demand upon them for variety and styles has been confusing. and admit that their chance of making money is better with 20 standardized styles than with 200, or more which they were obliged to carry in competing times of peace.
 Less style and more common sense in dress will be genuine improve ment which some of the dressers theu1- selves may find to their advantage and comfort
 Dress for men and women has got to be curtailed during the war, and the sweet and loyally-spirited of both sexes will find pleasure in dressing for a patriotic purpose rather that for the purpose of exhibiting styles and looking like the fashion plates.

DEALERS TO BE DENIED COAL.

It takes long time for some people to diseovLr that kicking against the bricks is a dangerous practice. It was eHly the other day that Il Springfield, Mass, house had its sugar euppIy eerfiseated for 'iolating the rules Of the food commission.
 Now there are 67 coal dealers in New Fsnglsnd who are under the ban flor refusing to make their weekly re- port to the fuel administrator.
 A letter was forwarded by Unitei states Fuel Administrator Garfield to state fuel administrators in all Of the New Ehglehd states instructina them to request railroad agents in each town in their respective states to di- vert coal moving to about 70 dealers within their states who have failed to submit reports required of them, re- eonsignihs coal to dealers in the same town who have reported.
 The list included three dealers in Connecticut, three in New Hampshire, two in Vermont. five in Rhode Island - twenty In Massachusetts, thirty seven in Maine.
 In his letter Mir Garfield says: "1t - Is extremely important that we i'm press all these dealers with the i'm portance of mailing report cards promptly each week. and there is nc . more forcible way of bringing this 2 hefne to .Hem than by stopping theig Shipments when they fail to do their part.

WAIsKERs.

1. Marion Francis McGhee of Bedding. -EaL, is dead at s2 with beard feet aS inches long. These remarkable chin whiskers seem to be the only thing Mr. MeGhee was famous for, and they are exciting newspaper comment thfonghone the country.
 It Is wei remembered by the older citizens of Norwich that Henry S Cook, a tailor who did business in tha "old fat-iron building" lad cher- ished beard that he wore !n an oil. silk bag. which was more than his full length, and in which he took as much pride as 8 young woman does of locks she can sit upon. The only other thing that brought him fame was having Daniel Home. of Greeneville. for an apprentice boy, who by his psychic powers confused the scientists of England and Europe, and at last married Russian princess.
 Thus is an old fad and has been many times repeated in this and other countries.
 The Detroit Free Press commented -Apon the fad as follows:
 we rather fancy the collecting spirit, but going in for human Span .jsh moss strikes us as having too much the aspect of noyrishing g. home [, for insigniiicAnt trifles. The poet has put the case of the Marion Frances MuGhee exactly in these moving lines:
 There once was a man with a beard Who said. 1ts just as feared,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mir Editor: We find very sensible editorial in The Bulletin of the 9eta, relative to the drafting Of 1s-year- -ela boys. Boys have not the physical en- durance for the hardships of war. But should they be sent to war they should be surely mounted as boys in the cavalry or artillery are mounted. What wears Out infantry boys is lug gage In 1881 to 65, the knapsack packed was supposed to weigh abou. 50 pounds. and then a hayersaek, can. teen, gun or sabre and cartridges, loaded boy down.

CANNING
SWEET CORN.

Successful home canning of sweet corn depends apon careful selection Of tender. Juicy corn iu the milk stage. G6riI for canning should never stand longer than g. few minutes after being taken from the stalk. Corn which is past the milky stage or is stale is very difficult tc can.
 Remove husk and silk Blanch on the cob by dipping into boiling water from 1 to minutes or until milk is set. Have clean hands. and all uten- sils sealded. Cut corn of the cob. Pack immediately into previously boil cd jars to within one inch of the top, but do not pack toe lightly. Add sea soning Icne= third level teaspuonful salt and two thirds teaspeenful sugar. to each pint of corn, and fill jars with clear hot water. Paddle to allow liquor to penetrate to the bottom of the jar, and to remove all air bubbles. Par tially seal jars,
 Processing with steam under pressure is recommended. Process pint jars IA hours at 15 pounds pressure. Seal immediately, cool as rapidly as possible, but do So in a place free from drafts. Do not put into cold water, as the jars will crack When cold test for leaks and store in a cool. dark, dry place.
 If the intermittent process is used boil pint jars 1 h hours the first day and hour Oh the second and third days. Loosen covers before each sub- sequent boiling. and seal completely after boiling. Cool, test for leaks. and store
 If the single period continuous boil ing process is employed, boil for at least three hours. Seal, cool, test for leaks, and store
 Take every precaution to have good rubbers and absolutely tight jars Test for leaks each time jars become cold and again 24 hours after proces- sing. All jars showing slightest sign of leaks must be refitted with fnbbers and re -processed.
 Usually better favored finished corn product can be obtained by drying the corn instead of canning it.@-U. s. Department of Agriculture.

WITHIN A MONTH

Violet sat on the top rail of the fence, smiling to herself. She. was thinking of the words she had had with her mother month before.
 Violet's health was not very good and the doctor had ordered her to the country for the summer. She laughed out loud as she thought of these words:
 Now, mother, won't stay in the lonely old country and no, one can make me, either. You know I'm used to a crowd, and dancing and every thing! Goodness I'll die there. tell you I won't go." r But nevertreless Violet went to her Uncle Henry's farm and now she though that nothing could induce her ] to 20 back to the dirty, close city. She loved Uncle Henry's country ways, and no one could be any nicer than dear Aunt Ellen. Her thoughts were interrupted by a | loud moo in her ear, from Daisy, the COW. She almost fell backwards over the fence.
 Come Sport, old dog. Let's take a run" said Violet, jumping from the fence, and starting down the field with 1 Sport, a large collie dog, close at her heels.
 Now Sport, Pm going to roll down 1 this hill, and don't you laugh at me either" said Violet giving his ear a l twitch. But Sport enjoyed barking al 1 her, as much as she enjoyed the roll | ing.
 She became so dizzy she closed hei eyes, and kept on, not noticing that l Sport had stopped parking and had run way ahead of her.
 She reached the bottom of the field sat up straight and found that her only 1 companion had deserted her. | She called his name and was answer l ed by bark. The sound came from 1 the woods, so she scrambled to Ter feet and ran in that direction. Uncle Henry the woods, but she must never entel into them alone.
 When she came to the tall fir trees Sport came running out holding piect ] of paper in his mouth.
 Whats tiiis?" questioned Violet reading the note and looking suspiei ously into the woods
 The note ran: Tt was great fun watching you roll down that hill. would like to see you do it again to l morrow at the same time. I'm going to talk with you, too"
