Why will women drag along from day
to day, year in and year out, suffering
such misery as did Mrs. Courtney, when
such letters as this are continually being
published. Every woman who suffers
from displacements, irregularities, IN
flammation, liberation, backache, ner-
vousness, or who is passing through the
Change of Life should give this famous

USE OF BARBED.WIRE IN WAR
Erection of Trench EntanoIements
One Of tho Most Dangerous Fea-
lures Of the Soldiers Work.

The erection Of war entanglements,
even when the trenches are some dis
lance apart, Is at all times dangerous.
The men slip over the parapet and,
In the first place, pound In the sup
ports with mallets, the heads Of which
are carefully wrapped in cloth In or
der to deaden the sound. Two men
carry the wire drum-a wooden CYL
inder round which the wire Is rolled
by means of long pole through
the center, and comrade attaches the
wires to the supports. The work Is
slow and nerve-straining, says writer
in the London Graphic, for star shells
burst often, and compel the men to
crouch low and remain motionless I'M
til the flare burns out.
To each soldier who takes part In
modern warfare thick gloves for grip
ping wire and strong pliers for cut
ting 1t are as essential as the rife and
bayonet. Before an assault by his
own regiment, the soldier cuts his
own wire, and he must then endeavor
as best he may to cut and hack his
way through the enemy's, pulling down
a support here, cutting the wires while
the machine-gun batteries rap out
their message of death toward him.
Thus barbed-wire, so simple in itself,
so deadly when used In the ways de-
scribed, enters into every phase Of op.
Grafton in the firing zone.

NATIONAL DISH OF MEXICO
u 10 Called "MoIe do 0uaJoIota" and
q Great Variety Of Ingredients
Enter Into Il.

Americans in some mysterious way
have gained the impression that the
national food of Mexico Is chile con
carre, q hot composition of peppers
and meat. Americans also hear much
about frijoles and tortillas, the first be-
ing a preparation of beans boiled and
then fried, and the second being
preparation Of cornmeal cakes. Ask a
Mexican what the national dish OF his
country is and he will no doubt an
swer mole de guadjolota."
Though Mexican cooks show individ-
uality in the preparation Of mole de
guajolota, 1t is usually a combination
Of raisins, almonds, peanuts, cinnamon,
chocolate, "ajonjolin," cominos, anise,
four or FIVE different varieties Of chiles,
garlic, tomatoes and perhaps some 9TH
er ingredients. These ingredients are
thoroughly ground and mixed and put
to stew in an enormous earthen bowl,
with perhaps barely sufficient lard and
water to leaven the mass properly,
while It Is left to stew for perhaps two
or three hours. While 1t Is stewing ono
or two turkeys are cut up into small
pieces and dropped into the bowl to be
thoroughly cooked in this rich gravy.
It Is said that the turkey cooked-in
this gravy gives to the "mole" rich
turkey taste, while the mole" itself
gives the turkey a SAVIOR unsurpassed.
In popular speech the long name OF
this dish is contracted to mole" and
which Is pronounced "mo-lay."

Why "Red" is Not Surname

Black, white and brown are common
surnames in English, but there is no
English family called Red. The for
mer names were given originally be-
cause of the complexion of the persons
who received them. 1t seems strange
that in people among whom red
heads were common none should have
acquired the name "Red," especially
as this is frequently bestowed as a
nickname.
The Century Dictionary explains this
as follows:
cred, like lead Oed), with which it
is phonetically parallel, had in Middle
English a long vowel, which has be-
come shortened. The long vowel re-
mains, however, in the surnames Read,
Reade, Reed, Reid, which represent
old forms of the adjective, and the ex-
istence of which as SurnameS explains
the almost total absence of the expect
ed surname, Red, parallel to Black,
Brown, White, ETC."
The equivalent of red" in foreign
languages is just as common a sur
name as are the equivalents of "black,"
white" and Grown" for the reason
that in them there has been no modi-
fication of the original word. In French
we find "Lenoir, Leblanc, Lebrun and
Leroux; in German, Schwartz, Weiss,
Braun and Roth; in Italian, Neri, Bian
Chi; Bruni and Rossi; in Spanish, Ne
gro, Blanco, Moreno and Bojo as the
corresponding surnames.

a hurricane bordering almost on

causes. Indeed. the greatest defect
In the arr y aerial service, according to
officials in that branch, Is overconf-

Child War Victims Receive Aid

Nearly twenty-five thousand children
in France are receiving aid from, the
American Red Cross at the present
time, according to recent cable advice
from Paris. Seven hundred children
are receiving complete medical care at
the hands of American Red Cross doc
tors, and 5000 are being treated at the
medical dispensaries of the American
relief society In addition, there are
10000 orphans and other children in
France who are being aided by the Red
Cross, directly or indirectly.
The American Red Cross is also aid
ing 5000 Belgian children, of whom it
has 1000 in complete charge. Hospitals
and other shelters for orphans and
children from the ruined areas are
maintained as an important activity of
the American Red Cross abroad. Chill
dren who have long gone unwashed,
many of them infected and seriously i'll,
receive tender and intelligent care. Not
only as work of mercy, but because
it helps insure the welfare of the COM
ing generation, this child welfare work
of the American Red Cross is regarded
as Of immense value.

Suggestions For Farmers.

These suggestions have been sent to
the Register:
Every farmer should adopt a name
for his farm. We have quite number
in the State, but there should be more.
This name should be painted in large
letters on the side OF the barn next to
the road or on some conspicuous bulle-
tin board about the premises. When a
nasserby sees this sign, he Immediately
associates II with some specialized
product produced on the farm. II IS
also good idea if the farmer is a
breeder of purebred Percherons, Snort
horns, Southdowns. or Berkshires, or
anv other breed of live stock, to so IN
dictate il on the same bulletin. 1t adds
tone to the advertisement. 1t stlmu-
lates the owner of the farm in his work.
He has established an ideal which he
must live up to, and the truth is, ne lives
I'D 10 that ideal much better by first eS-
tablishing it. -,
II is wonderful what little paint will
do on the farm. 1t will keep spreading
inst as soon as started. Everything
about the place takes on new lire. Inc
barn soon takes on clean appearance,
all the manure is hauled out, cement
and plank floors are next LAID, a cooa
watering system is installed, good,
wholesome food takes the place OF
much coarser food formerly fed in
haphazard manner, and soon all parts
sf the old barn and barnyard are re-
placed by new and up-to-date farm
buildings. Then the contagion spreads
until new house with modern improve
ments and conveniences lightens the
work of the house wife.

The Unyarnished Truth.

An unpopular officer in the British
army one night slipped into some deep
water, and private who happened 20
see the accident pulled him out. The
officer was very profuse in his thanks,
says Harper's Magazine, and asked his
rescuer how he could reward him.
1.-THE very best way you can reward
me-" replied the private, "is to say
nothing about it."
"Why, my good fellow" asked the
astonished superior, do you reallymean
that you wish me TO say nothing about
it?"
CAY! If the other fellows knew |
pulled you out they'd soon chuck me
in" was the frank response.

Waters. Two Italians from Hagerstown,
brothers named Santo and Joe Musolino,
went to the quarries and sent for Tony
Pannutti, who conducted a store atNessle,
to come to them at the store OF Tony
Britt, their cousin. Pannutti went, and
as soon as he saw the men he opened fire
upon them with revolver, killing the
two Musolino brothers and badly wound
ing Britt. The trouble seems 10 have
been the result OF an old feud between
the men. The murderer and his cousin,
