IDEALISM AND HEALTH.

The idealism which is uppermost in
American life at the present moment is
finding its reflection in the work of public
health, according to the State Depart
ment of Health in a statement issued
this week. The high thinking which has
risen to meet President Wilson's call for
a world that is safe for democracy finds
its counterpart in the right living which
must 60 hand in hand with the high
thinking. Never before in the history of
the nation, says the department. have
the forces that destroy vice and promote
personal efficiency been so prominent nor
so effective Men are called upon now in
the interests of their own freedom and
of their children's freedom to control
false appetites, to live without wasting
national or personal resources and to
choose the best because only the best will
meet the great world emergency that
now exists.

The Good That Comes Of 1t.

Do you think that the war is making
people less selfish in the world and in
the United States? Surely it must,
when in so many places people are sac
rificing their dear ones and their
money for a cause. Even If it seems
to some more question of honor and
family or national tradition than JUS
tice or freedom. I often think Of the
rank and file of the German army, and
even the junior officers. They are suf-
fering untold hardships and showing
magnificent bravery in the face of
heavy odds, as much as, perhaps more
than, the soldiers of the allies. Al
though one must be here to realize
that men have risen to a height Of
courage and endurance in this war that
people living in modern civilization
never dreamed of. Surely some gain
must come from this tremendous eff
fort and conquest of self, and Germany
must not be entirely loser, when her
sons, even If forced, have paid such a
price.-Edwin A. Abbey, II, in the At
lantic.

pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disorders,
hopeless of relief because she doesn't
know what is the matter.
It is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to the

aested and inflamed, such aches and pains
follow.
Then help the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They are
endorsed at home. Read this Belfast

STUDENTS WARNED NOT TO BURN
MIDNIGHT OIL.

The supply of kerosene will run short
next winter and the Government is urging
every user to do his part toward making
every gallon to do full war duty by giving
forth its full measure of light and heat.
Saving can be accomplished, it is said,
only if care is given lamps, lanterns,
heaters and stoves.
The director of oil conservation of the
United States Fuel Administration issues
these rules for fuel-oiI saving
keep all lamps and lanterns clean. Let
the light out; don't confine it behind
smoked and dirty chimneys.

REQUIRE less oil and give better lights.

stove to burn minute longer than is
necessary. Don't light one you can do
without.
Don't use coal oil for cleaning purposes.
Hot water will do the work.

Won HINDENBURG GOT MAD.

Some of the reports regarding the re-

QUITTING Work for War.

"Selling out; have to join the col

in business places in many parts of
New York Investigation has shown
some of them to be fakes, too. In all

service, Mr.. Kennedy is forced to close
down his business, all the other male
members of the family being already

Cosmopolitan Odessa.

Odessa, recently entered by German
troops, furnishes the most remarkable
instance in Europe Of a rapid growth,
like that of the mushroom cities Of the
New World. Founded in 1894 on the
site of small Turkish fortress which
had been taken by the Russians few
years previously, it does not possess
single building which by any stretch
of Imagination could be described as
old. The city as well as the port owes
its origin to a Frenchman named De
Ribas, an officer in the Russian army
who had led the attack on the Turkish
stronghold. French influence is strong,
and there are important commercial
French and British colonies. Italians,
Greeks, Bulgarians, Tartars, Arme-
mans, Georgians, and other races in
addition to the Jews and Russians
make up the population of this cosmo-
politan city.

toes on Good Friday, nor in seeing

think that a fisherman Is foolish If
he spits on his bait, and I don't be-
lieve in walking around stump three
times to change my luck. Neither am
I afraid of black cats that cross my
path. In my opinion all such things
are nonsense. They are In the same
class with that old idea about hang
ing a horseshoe over the door. That's
an old, played-out scheme, and it
never was worth whoop.
"There's only one thing in the whole
list of lucky or unlucky omens that
works out in every detail, and that's
the idea of finding penny and keep
ing it for good luck.
"About three months ago I picked
up an old green penny that was ly-
ing in the gutter. chucked it in the
match pocket of my coat, and l have
kept it there ever since.
Before took to carrying the penny
I couldn't turn my hand over without
losing money, and ever since then I've
made money at every turn of the road.
That's why l know it is lucky"
''Let me look at your lucky penny"
remarked a bystander. I'D just like
to touch the thing"
The penny wise man ran two fingers
into his match pocket, and as he did
SO he exclaimed:
"By cracky! I'll bet I've lost the
blamed thing. In fact, know have.
I sent this coat to the dry cleaner the
day after found the penny, and for
got to remove it from the pocket"

THIS IS NOT A HORsELESs WAR

Over 1850, 600 horses and mules have
been employed by the various combatants
and America will need million horses
and mules before she gets through Our
horse supply is not limitless. The best
have already gone abroad. Let US rieidly
conserve what are left. Then we must
remember that a transport carries only
from 700 to 1000 animals at time; that
the average round trip of transport is
ten weeks. You must realize that there
is scarcity of ships and that every last
one Is needed to take across food, guns,
ammunition and troops. Every boat that
is diverted to replace animals that have
been lost through lack of care or lack of
veterinary facilities means that much de-
lay in defeating the enemy and increased
death lists among our soldiers.

do not seem to mind it bit. They are
too much absorbed in the interesting
task of qualifying as masters and mates
of ocean and coastwise ships, steam or

no less effectually by getting supplies to
