Few Escape.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are FORUM
ate who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any SER
ious consequences. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle, and you
are likely to be one of the fortunate
ones. The worth and merit of this
remedy has been fully proven. There
are many families who have always
used it for years when troubled with
a cough or cold, and with the very
best results.--Adv.

kota. who made a .ather striking speech in the senate last week on the conditions of labor and the extrava- gance of the government, thinks thar the question of labor might be solved to some extent if great many people who have been idle should be set to work Taking the census figures of 1900, the latest available. he found that there were males between the ages of eighteen and sixty-two to the num- Der of 6,539,652 who were not en- ployed in any gainful occupation. Be tween the same ages were in round numbers 25OOO.0O0 women who were not engaged in any remunerative em- ployment He said that there were enough unemployed men to make up the shortage of labor in the shipbuild- ing plants and on the farms, and many women could take the places of men in their present occupations. But he did not explain how in this land of the free we were going to make these unemployed go to work either in the factory, shop or on the farm.

Sounds Baffiing Science.

Mystery still attaches to certain ex- plosiye sounds, heard in various parts of the world and known to science as ''brontides." On the coast of Belgium, says Popular Science Monthly, these sounds seem to come from the sea, and are called locally "mistpoeffers." In the Ganges delta of India similar sounds are called "Barisal guns" Brontides are well known in some parts of Italy, where they bear great variety of names. In Hayu sound of this character Is known as the "gouf- fre," while in parts of Australia it is called the ''desert sound" Brontides mostly take the form of untitled deto- nations, of indefinite direction. Prob ably they are of subterranean origin. Studies of eccentricities in the trans mission of sound through the atmos- phere lead to the conclusion that some of the sounds hitherto reported as brontides were really due to cannonad- ing or blasting.

The price of wheat is likely to be- come a very interesting subject, judg- ing from the communications that are sent to congress. Senator Owen had letter from Oklahoma read to the senate not long ago stating the posi- ton of the wheat farmers and com blaming that the farmers who had been able to board their wheat were going to get better prices now than those who sold some time ago. The letter was couched in homely phrase and badly written, and seemed to fur nish amusement to quite a number of senators, but it conveyed just what the farmer meant. The question nat urally arises whether other farmers are not thinking along the same lines. and if they, too, feel that they are not getting all they ought to have on ac- count of price fixing on their particu- lar staple product.

LONG WALK TO JOIN HUSBAND
Railroad Ticket, Tramped on Foot for Many Weary Miles.

Soldiers at Camp Hancock, near Au- gusta, Ga, have ceased to complain about a 20-mile hike since the arrival there of Mrs. Anna Messinger of Chi licothe. O.. who walked from that place to Augusta, in order to be near her soldier husband, who is with the motor mechanics regiment, the Wash ington Evening Stars Georgia core spondent writes.
 T was anxious to be with my hus- hand until his departure for France, and I couldn't afford the price of railway ticket, so struck out on foot, accompanied by my brother-in-law and his wife" said Mrs. Messinger upon her arrival here.
 The party tramped their way through the states of Ohio. Kentucky. Virginia, Tennessee and northern Georgia, arriving in Augusta 26 days after starting from Chillicothe.
 Mrs. Messinger says they spent the nights at farmhouses, where they had the most courteous treatment. They walked through ice and snow almost the entire distance. there being only two fine days during the jaunt. She says she wore out one pair of slippers, three pairs of shoes, and three pairs of rubbers.

CHAPTER XIl.-Continued.

Lucille stifed a scream.
 Hello, mother. What? Some one is trying the door? It's opening-hello -hello-mother"-
 Lucille dropped the receiver and sank backward into Vidas arms. I picked up the telephone and held it to my ear, shouting Hello, hello!"
 There was no response The wire was dead.
 When Lucille had been revived with out resorting to any of the violent methods suggested by the resourceful Captain Perkins I endeavored to ex- plain away any cause for fright
 SEven if she really did see a man," I said, which seems improbable, he is not going to murder her. Probably he just stopped to inquire the time of day"
 But mother said he had whiskers."
 'I know" I continued, that is against him, but maybe it is hereditary in his family"
 Maybe she just dreamed it" Kent offered sensibly. Lets call her up again. She seemed a little dented on top when I first saw her. By this time maybe the attack Is over"
 That seemed a fair enough sugges- tion, and I acted on 1t. asked cen tral to give me Huntingdon's island once more.
 I'm sorry," central answered, "but can't seem to get them. I've been n h1 minutes. There's another party trying to get them
 Another party?' questioned. "WhoT"
 T couldn't say It isn't any one I know. His voice sounds like he was a tall, thin young man from New York. "
 Cant get them," I told the listen ing group.
 What can we do now? I must go to help mother. l must go. I must go." Lucille began to get hysterical.
 Wait, dear" Vida said, batting her hand We can't go because we haven't any boat" Turning to the rest of us, she asked, "Whom could we telephone to and ask to go over there?'
 "The sheriff is the right man, I should think" Bopp suggested
 He'd be plumb tickled, too," added Captain Perkins. He ain't had a chance to arrest nobody since he's been swore in."
 That's 1t, the sheriff" Lucille said feyerishly. "Get the sheriff and let me talk to him."
 "We don't want the public to know about this" I objected.
 ''What do I care about the public if my mother is in danger? Lucille very properly demanded.

Sr HERE seemed to be nothing else
 to do, so I asked the telephone
 operator to see if she could To-
 cate the sheriff.
 T guess he's down to the railroad statioR," central volunteered. Its most train time, and he most usually goes down these looking for a suspi- cious character to get off the north bound passenger. I'll ask the agent if he's there"
 She did, and he was. After a slight delay found myself addressing a strange voice, which I requested to hold the wire I turned the receiver over to Lucille. She told the sheriff in breathless haste that her mother had been foully dealt with on Hunting dons island and offered him nmitless rewards to capture her slayer.
 "Is there anything further we can do?" Lucille paced up and down the room.
 Nothing but wait, dear" Vida said. I'm sure nothing serious has hap pened."
 'eThen why doesn't mother call up and tell us that she is all right?"
 This was unanswerable. No one thought of a sensible reason for keep ing Mrs. Green away from the tele- phone.

 I thought of my clans.
 "Come with me-" I exclaimed and led the way toward the kitchen. "I have surprise for you"
 You have found Tootlesw Lucille was radiant.
 Mo- I replied, somewhat crestfall- en, for I had again forgotten Tootles, but I have something for you to eat"

 "What is it?" Bopp asked.
 'It's a secret" I replied mysterious ly, Investigating my kettle of clans, which, strange to relate, had not boiled entirely away. "Fll serve it to you and then you can guess what 1t is."
 I found number of bowls in the pantry, and with 6 porcelain dipper I ladled gcodly portion of clam broth into each.
 Did you cook this all by yourselfT asked Kent.
 T did," averred modestly.

 My last nightmare was that of being blinded by a redhOt iron. Who was it had thnt done to him? I remember. It was Michael Strogoff, the courier of the czar. Shades of Jules Vernei Any way, it happened to me in my dreams, and the burning sensation was so viv- i'd that I awoke in terros.

 The latch was lifted, and some one entered. I silenced an impulse on the part of Tootles to welcome the in- truder. The weight Of the man who was there not ten feet from me made the floor boards sag as he walked about. He was coming toward me.
 For moment he paused uncertainty and then lit a match. In it's light discovered that he was a tall, natAily clad young man whom I had never seen before.

 I started to explain. Lucille, how can you accuse me of such a thing"
 You never liked Tootles. I know it. You cared more for your appetite than for my little darling. Now I see through all the mystery about what the food was and what you were doing all the afternoon while I slept. 1 suppose you drugged me so that I wouldn't hear the poor little things screams. Oh, mother! Oh, Tootles !"

 That was too much. I might have stood for being called a murderer, but not fat one.

Just what interest has been hold ing up the bill to set the clock ahead and save an hour of daylight is not apparent, but for some reason or other this measure has been held up in the house after passing the senate many months ago, and has not yet become a law. So far as can be ascertained nearly everybody is for it, or at least no one Is against it. The national chamber of commerce has made q canvass of it's members, and they seem to be almost unanimous in favor of the measure. and what is more. they have found half a hundred good req sons why it should pass. This may be like other measures which have very strong apparent support, but upon which there is no affirmative action.

FOOD SHORTAGE

Charge Made That Warehouse in Washington Is oVerfIowing With Documents That Will Never Be Used,
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Nashington.-It seems to be abso- luteIy necessary to issue constant warnings to the American people about the saving of food. And yet, so far as observation goes in the national capital there has been no very great attempt to curtail the use of food stuiIS, except so as to comply with the requests made by Food Adminis- trator Hoover in regard to meatless and Wheatless days. There is still in sight in the markets and the stores plenty of supplies, apparently, and as long as money is quite free the peo- pie are likely to buy those supplies.
 While Mir. Hoover issues a note of alarm from time to time, the real scare has reached congress, and par tcularly those senators and repre- sentatives who have been investigat ing the food situation. The members of the agricultural committee of the senate have been really alarmed by statements which have been made be- fore them, which so far have not reach ed the general public. Several of the senators are particularly anxious about the meat supply, and Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who has given great deal of attention to the subject, feels that there will be a meat famine in the United States within year. even if every possible means should be adopt ed to increase the supply.
 'The people have not paid enough attention to production" Is the con clusion of Senator Kenyon.

There continues to be talk in con- gress about graft and extravaganza; and so far it has been kept out of the range of party politics, for Democrats as well as Republicans join in the crit icisms. Some members of the domi- nant party are inclined to make light of the alleged extravaganza in con- ducting the war, while others say that no war was ever waged yet which did not mon extravaganza on account of the ns ssity for speed in procuring supplies.
 "Talk about that old saying. The old flag and an appropriation said one of the prominent Democratic sen ators. i've have not only got the flag. but we are getting the appropriations" ."
 And you are making the Republic ans look like pikers. although you crit icized us day in and day out when we were in power" was the reply of one of the Republican senators.

 Then Senator Gronna of North Da- kota took a hand in the discussion and complained bitterly because he was debarred from having petitions of his constituents printed in the Con- gressional Record on account of the shortage of paper, and yet tons and tons of these unread documents were being printed by the government.

BY HEAD OF THE

LIEF THAT IN NO OTHER WAY
CAN WE so WELL SERVE OUR
coUNTRY-NEED GREAT FOR
MANY MONTHS BY OUR ARMY"

Jacksonville, Nov 11.-Business
firms and corporations all over the
country have been spurred to give in
the great United war work campaign
by the action of Judge Gary, head OF
the United Steel Corporation who has
made a subscription to the fund in
the name Of the corporation for five
million dollars. the largest gift to vel,
fare war work ever made in cam.
paign in the history Of the world.
In making the contribution, Judge
Gary said: I'VE contribute with the
belief that in no other way can we
so well serve our country. Since re.
ceiving opinion of our counsel that
such contributions are legal and
proper, we do not hesitate to make
them and charge same to expense ac-
count. The necessities of our SOL
diers will not be diminished for many
months"
Instead Of dampening the ardor Of
the campaign as many doubling
Thomases were inclined to believe,
the wonderful news Of victory and the
overthrow Of the German dynasty has
added whirlwind impetus to the
campaign. Reports coming into state
headquarters in Jacksonville today
showed that many communities were
already over the top and were still
going. It was more than evident that
Florida's million would be subscribed
in short order and that the state
would go a long way in setting the
pace in oversubscribing for the other
states in the south

we are ready to show them how we
feel about it" is the spirit that is
