To Make Your Shoes Last.

When your shoe leather gets dry OF
hard, you should oil or grease it, says
the popular Science Monthly. To do
this, first brush of all mud and then
wash the shoe in warm water, drying 1t
with a soft cloth.
While the shoe is still wet, apply the
oil or grease, rubbing 1t in with a swab
of wool, or better still, with the palm
Of the hand. After treatment, the
shoes should be left to dry in warm
but not In hot place. Castor oil Is
recommended for shoes that are to be
polished. For palmer footgear, fish Oil
and oleine or any one Of the less ex-
pensive oils may be substituted with
very good results.

A Lesson by the Warrior of
the StoutHeart.
BY GUY r. LEE.

"Give me six months to live" Glenn
enceau, seventy-seven, leader Of
France, said to his doctor Thursday
'That's all want"
Six months that he may see the Hun
driven from the soil Of his fathers.
Six months that he may see start
toward the restoration Of those quaint
and beautiful towns, now only broken
fragments Of desolation and despair.
Six months that he may see the hus
bandry Of peace again filling the she'll
torn ground for the return of the flow
ers and grass and trees.
Six months that he may see the
homecoming Of "le grande armee"-
sound cheers for the millions march
Ing along the Champs Elysee, and
weep tears for the millions back there
who are not coming home save in the
hearts of the world.

And the county board at it's spring

money to be used to putting such an
organization on it's feet. Such a band
could be used on patriotic occasions
where now but part Of a band is
obtainable
