OPERATING WITHOUT BATTERY

It IS possible under certair, con- dltIons to keep a car that uses bat tery ignition running without the use of the battery. This is when the battery system employs a gener- ator to feed load after a certain engine speed has been reached. while the battery is called upon for speeds of less than fifteen miles or so. If the battery is out of commission. it is impossible to get the car started in the ordinary way, but if the vehicle Is lowed or otherwise gotten into motion, it can be kept going. Obvi- ously the starter is out of com mission and the speed of the car must be kept pretty we'll up, but in emergencies this dodge is worth re- membering.

 While on their trip into Mexico. the physician and his companions were all heavily armed with automatic revol- vers.

who asks: Do you believe there is only one love in persons life?" I always invariably give the same answer to this: Yes; one at a timer However, .t usually proves that 1t isn't the only answer the questioner wants, because it robs tter of discussing at length this oft-rehearsed affair. Of course, we know about constancy being ideal and beautiful and all that but We don't seem to remember at the same time that it is also subtle and rare and tricky and unexpected. and-oh, well-also the person who has mad desire to bo witty" and also particularly the woman who talks about herself all the time anl never allows you to say a word about yourself. also the woman who limps about the street on French heels and wears imported hair; also the woman of 50 who acts like a kitten whW she's & perfectly good old cat; also from the flattering CD freind who inspects your complexion and clothes and general get broad open daylight when you've got on all your war paint and makeup" and says, patronizingly: q declare, you don't look g day over 25," when in reality you know you look every inch your age, which is 45,

In the Y. NJ. C. A. Hut

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslies
 The daily programme in a Y NJ. C. A. hut begins with serving the counter at about S;S0 a. n.. and continues until taps. This means selling stamps and postal cards. weighing parcel post packages. de- livering mail, furnishing free of charge writing paper, wrapping paper, twine, books athletic equipment, drawing wills and giving advice and help of every sort imaginable. Leading professional and business men are engaged in this prosaic work, the routine of which could be done by any sl0 week clerk. Performed by the class of men who have volunteered for the war work of the r. NJ. c. A, and under the moral and social atmos- phere of the cantonment, the service at the counter gives the opportunity for splendid work in character development. When the men are banked three and four deep as is the case at certain hours. there Is little opportunity for anything beyond a mechanical supplying of their wants, but when the crowd dwindles. many a fellow is just waiting for few moments of intimate talk.
 Here is where the "Y. NJ" secretary has an advantage over the army chap lain. The secretary is a civilian; the chaplain an officer. and though the lat- ter may be the best of mixers, he cannot throw off altogether official dignity.

ing upon the intrepid Italians and Aus- trian shells were falling all about them. But Rizzo's luck prevailed and Rizxo's boats scuttled out to sea untouched.
 This time Rizzo got a gold medal and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander. But there were still Aus- trian bases to attack and in February. with single torpedoboat he slipped into the Bay of Buccari and torpedoed an- other enemy craft which was thought to be safely hidden among the nest Of submarines at Plume. He picked up a bronze medal for that and then bided his time until the Scent Istvan crept along trying to get away from just such fellows as Rizzo.
 This Italian commanders exploits have a smack of the old days about them, when Mars cherished and watched out for the individual and cared less for science, when the marshars baton re- posed in every soldiers knapsack. He dares the sort of thing that frightened the naval history of our own Civil war with Lieutenants Cushing, Lamson and the rest willing to meet any risk for glory's sake We may be sure we have not lost the tradition and that thou sands of young men in our navy today are waiting to take just such chances as Rizzo takes.

 When Italy declared war against Aus tria he was called home and made d sublieutenant of reserves. But almost immediately he began to show his char acteristic cash, and in May, 1915. he was raised to a full leutenancy. Rizzos s first exploit to attract wide notice was his capture of several enemy aviators under 8 violent fire from the foes guns.

 For that he received a silver medal and was transferred to the regular serv- ice. Right afterward he began those swift raids on the enemy coast which have made him famous. and soon got another silver medal His third medal was won during the great Italian re- treat after the disaster at Caporetto, The Italian army had not yet reached the Piave river. It was struggling. much disorganized, to get across the Tagliamentc. RizZo penetreated the stream in an armed motorboat, shelled the enemy on the banks, helped to check the Austrian pursuit and captured a batch of prisoners.
 Last December the Italians learned that the Austrians were about to dis patch from Trieste two big battleships to Lombard the Italian coast Rizzo was ordered to spoil their plans. He took ais two trusty torpedoboats with him and in a heavy fog made his way to the harhor. Blocking the entrance were eight thick wire cables, most Of them beneath the surface. Rizzo and his men fished them up and painfully cut through them all with special pliers. The battleships were riding at anchor near Point Sabba and the two indistin- guishable Italian craft quickly drew near them,

MAKING HER HIS wiFE.

MAKING HER HIS WIFE.

 So, after a weeks courtship, they were married. He said, i've married my en- emy, but I'll make her my wife" She said, ''Thank Heaven, I can't escape from this mani"
 He was determined to reduce her to his own mannish ideas of wifely duty She was equally determined to take life as jolly good thing, and not long sen- tence to righteousness, poverty and duty. Who wins? Only the alchemy of love would attempt to solve such problem.
 The Background is a. drowsy little southern town, where John Arms, the last descendant of once wealthy old southern family lived. It was half dead place, existing principally on mem ories of distinguished past John and his widowed mother lived in a fine old house, and he earned his living by keeping a hardware store. Also he looked exactly like 8 certain picture of Pow hatan. He was somewhere around So
 
 woman, but one day he went to Atlanta, and there met and fell in love with a beautiful young society girl, Olive Thurs ton, and married her with the utmost possible celerity. She had a nice little fortune of her own, but John insisted that she must not spend penny of her income, as he did not want his wife to have anything with which he did not provide her. Such thing as con- sidering what the aforesaid wife might want never entered his head for a single instant. He was firmly convinced that wife should obey her husband, and still more firmly convinced of his own wis dom and righteousness. In fact, he was precisely 100 per cent prig.
 Of course, there were quarrels, and aft CT while Olive left her husband. Pres ently, however, John began to acquire cash in large quantities, Olive had baby, and they were reunited, and, so the author apparently intends us to be- lieve, lived happily ever after. The reader remains skeptical as to the future happiness of this priggish hero and silly, spineless heroine, but does not take suf-

N IL this spring and summer when
 IN\ the frightful German offensive 1S\ had driven the world almost to
 desperation, I have longed for peace and quiet with the ardor and the enthusiasm of a down-trodden Belgian refugee; after four years of horrible warfare and everything topsy-turvy the war is wearing on peoples nerves; it pursues us like a poor relation and af- fleets us as disagreeably as rich one; with every desire to lead the simple life and go back to the old-time sweet, normal habits of few years ago we find ourselves whirled again and again into emotional turmoils, all directly traceable to the exploits of those astonishing sausage makers of Berlin, in conse- quence of which people are losing weight, losing their bright, happy American dis positions and, far worse, their complexions and their enthusiasm.
 Not the least of the innovations brought about by the war is the perfectly good time by which we have been liv- ing for 10 these many years being moved up and changed about and every thing turned upside down and the children crying because they have to go aa bed when it's broad daylight, and the men coming home from their offices surly and cross and mad because now they have solid hour in which to mow the lawn, nd-and-well-of course, it. all very sweet and nice, while the lit tie readjustment of the sun Is taking 1Ail J1yif thn pln xxyhi hoe Jn that one nice, little Host hour look like a stepchild left on somebody's door step!-that one little hour looped off in order to make twilight sure-3600 sec-

SURE RELIEF FOR
 A BAD STOMACH Thousands Speak Highest Praise for H. l.. Kramer's Discovery Eatonic

Go where you will, in city, town or country, and you will hear people talking about H. L. Kramer's latest success, ,EATONIC the wonderful new relief for indigestion and all stomach distress after eating. Druggists saythat in EATONIC, MT. Kramer has even a greater preparation than Cascarets, which he originated years ago.
 This, of course, is a subject that comes home to practically everyone. Very few people, indeed, are entirely free from stomach misery in some form. The man or woman, who has never experienced the dull, Hump ish" feeling of distress that results from heavy meal, is surely the rare exception. And it is, therefore, not 8 matter for wonder that EATONIC is universally hailed with gratitude as great deliverance.
 EATONIC is scientific prepara- ton carefully thought out, for the purpose of neutralizing the excess acids that produce stomach miseries. EATONIC acts almost instantly. You eat a tablet after meals -- distress quickly disappears -- stomach be.

Good Roads and New South
A. Sleicher. in Leslie

John A. Sleicher, in Leslies.
 Good roads are opening new south to the tourist and the northerner seeking a haven of warmth and comfort in snowy winter. Never before have so many mo- torists been touring the south as during
 the past winter. Give due credit to the
 famous Dixie highway. I am for Dixie
 all the time and for the new. progress siVe DlXle, rich and inviting, and always
 hospitable to the stranger
 The Dixie highway down the east coa st has had the preference for motorists be- cause 1t has become so well known It has opened the eyes of the tourist Flor ida knows it and is now spending more money per capita for good roads than any other state in the union Good roads are proving the most profitable invest
 ment the south has ever made. I am told that Florida is now pledged to build , the West Floriday highway" extend ing from Tallahassee, the capital, to the boundary line between Florida and Ala bama on the west, and that it also pro poses to follow up the old Spa nish Trail movement of Alabama and con tirue the trail through Florida, along the gulf coast, to Tampa, where De Soto landed on his journey to the Mississippi This trail will cross the state to con-
 meet with the Dixie highway at Miami,
 and proceed up to Jacksonville and thence west again to Tallahassee, thus consti- tuting a belt highway around Florida It is hoped to continue it on to the Pacific coast-and this is no idle dream
 We all know of the growth of Jackson vile. Tampa, Pensacola Key West and Miami-the five largest cities in the state, but how many have heard of Lakeland
 and Orlando, and all the other cities that have shown such rema rkable develop-
 ment during the past few years while the railroads have been making Florida all over again? Give the railroads credit
 Without them, the state would still be
 the neglected peninsula of the United
 States, despite F'loridas unique and ad-
 vantageous location between the Atlantic
 and the gulf, like a giant finger over
 100 miles wide extending into the semi
 tropical zone, for 800 miles or more.

 H. [. Kramer, originator of EATONIC, says:
 II am proud of EATONIC. The remarkable results already proved in tens of thousands of cases are my ample reward for the hard work I have devoted to the bringing cut of EATONIC. Now have the gr atest satisfaction of knowing absolutely that EATONIC will do everything that planned for it to do.
 II strongly urge every man and woman with bad digestion to try EATONIC at once on my advice. I state positively with Ill the emphasis and sincerity at my command that 1t is now no longer necessary for any one to endure the miseries and dis comforts of a weak, ailing stomach.
