That the cigarette must be eliminat-

number of women In the northern part
Of the city, not only because they be-
Iievefi 1t is injurious In itself, but also
In view Of the fact that 1t Is interfer-

the problem Is big one, and 1t may be
that the first activity may be anatom.
ical and directed at places" over
which parents have undisputed juris-
diction.
This movement was determined on
the other afternoon when North side
matron invited in few friends and
neighbors to knit, sew or darn as they
wished, to hear some music and drink
d cup of tea. Some of the guests per-
mitted their little boys to, go over to
Mrs. McPherson's to play while the
mammas were gone. When the
Hooverizcd function was well under
way there was knock at the door
and Master Mcpherson inquired
whether miss" Gregg was there.
'Better come over to our house and
get Jack, for he's awful SICK" was his
announcement.
Mrs. Gregg seized her wraps and
made q bee line to rescue Jack. A
little later she returned to the party
and responded to anxious inquiries
with smile, saying: Hes better
now. and don't think it's serious"
There was another violin number,
and Mrs. Redough had just poured
few cups Of tea, when the telephone
rang. The hostess answered the call
and then PACED Mrs. Wrong.
It was Mrs. Mcpherson herself.
Your little boys here, and he's quite
i'll. He's perfectly rigid, and I'm
frightened" she said.
Mrs. Wrong also dashed forth to
give succor to her offspring. She, too,
returned after a while, and seemed
rather put out. She forestalled the
impending questions by announcing:
s'Cigarettes! I'll finish the treatment
later"
Mrs. Wagner had just finished re-
heeling a sock and the function was
about to close when the telephone
rang again, and Mrs. Redough was
summoned. It was her husband.

have been smoking cigarettes and are

Bohemia Favored by Nature.

Nature has favored Bohemia per-
haps more than any other part Of Eu-
rope. Its soil is so fertile and climate
so favorable that more than half Of
the country is cultivated and produces
richly. In its mountains almost eve
cry useful metal and mineral, except
salt, is to be found. It is the geo.
graphical center Of the European COM
tinent, equally distant from the Bal
tic, Adriatic and North seas, and though
inclosed by mountains, is SO easily ac-
cessible because of the valleys Of the
Danube and Elbe rivers, that it serre&
as the avenue of many armies.

MAKE YOUR OWN SOAP.

Wartime necessities bring us back
to primitive conditions. The present
world shortage of fats has caused,
amongst other things, the price Of
manufactured soap to go skyward.
The economical housewife can do a
great deal towards remedying this,
as regards laundry soap, at any rate.
OF course, by now she has drilled the
family in the doctrine of the clean
plate, but still, after the Sunday leg
OF mutton has appeared on various
DAYS in the week in the form Of hot
roast, cold roast, stew and hash, and
the bone has served it's usefulness az
the basis of Scotch broth, there may
be left some odds and ends Of dried
up skin, perhaps thrown away If no
dog is kept to eat them up.
Nothing is too small to go into the
soappot-the rind Of an occasional
rasher Of bacon. q. bit Of outer skin
of fat left on somebody's plate. The
skin of goose or turkey from the
table of those who can still AFFORD
such luxuries, makes excellent soap.

One of the biggest jobs of the
U. s. Railroad Administration has
been to make one freight car carry
as much freight as was formerly
carried by two. This is being ac-
complished by heavier loading and
quicker unloading upon arrival at
destination. In the Fertilizer In
dustry, for instance, the average car
formerly was 21.31 tons. Through
strenuous efforts the average during
the past year was raised to 1902
tons.

Sour Stomach.

This is mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate
your food thoroughly, eat but little
meat and none at all for supper, you
will more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medi-
cine whatever. When you have
sour stomach take one OF Chamber
lain's Tablets to aid digestion.

Manufacturers willingly cooper
ate insthis movement, even though it
means added inconvenience for
them. The chief difficulty comes
from the local dealer and small pur-
chaser who demand their less-than-
carload orders sent on shorts notice.
Local dealers, agents, farmers,
and others must realize the neces-
sity of placing orders early so as to
allow time for grouping and making
