The Disabled Soldier

The blind man or the cripple

 by will not be familiar figure after the war. The government
 has made provisions that will in. sure every disabled soldie, against the necessity of soliciting aims. These provisions are two fold in charac ter; they include
 compensation and education.
 Compensation will be paid by the government to every abled soldier and sailor. irrespective of his earning capacity; but it may be withheld if he shows him. self indifferent to the opportuni- ties for vocational education that the government will offer. For permanent disability the monthly compensation ranges from 360 a year for the man without either wife or child to $500 a year for the man with a wi fe and three children. In addition to this amount. if the man has widowed mother he receives $12O a year. A man who has lost both hands or both feet or eyes will receive $l100 a year.
 The government does not ex- pect disabled soldiers to be solely dependent on government com pensation. It proposes to fit each man for earning his living, how ever serious the handicap under which he must labor. The work of training crippled and blind to be self-supporting has been brought to a high degree of success in both France and and we may expect 1t to be equally well managed in this country.
 The man who must find his chief happiness in dwelling on the day when he was useful has a sad life. It is a life from which most of our wounded soldiers, however handicapped they may be. are to be spared. The government will provide them with the means for the continuing, durable happiness that comes from useful and con genial employment.

The 0. (. s.

It is a characteristic of human
 nature that when we have es.
 capped a serious danger We are careless rather than cautious in the face Of a recurrence of 1t. There are signs that 1t may be so with the threatened shortage of fuel. If it is. there will be serious and widespread suffering Tn the coming winter.
 To meet the demands of the war will take nearly one hundred million tons of coal more than was mined and transported last year. Increase in production and better transportation facili- ties cannot possibly make up more than half of it. The other fifty million tons we have got to save.
 Fuel, especially coal, is the very foundation of all our war activities. It takes coal to smelt iron ore, and coal to run them, and coal to build ships and more coal to run them. and coal to move trains that haul coal, and still more coal to keep the factories going and make ammunition. One three-inch shell takes twenty pounds of steel. and that twenty pounds of steel takes eighty pounds of coal. Think of the millions of three-inch shell s that must be made Then re- member that a three-inch shell Is only little boy in this war. and see what it means
 Chiefly 1t means that we and that IS you, too must save every pound of coal We can. Begin now, by having the furnace or other heating apparatus put in order. Have the fire box and the tlues cleaned: soot is a better nonconductor than asbestos. Cover the pipes, so that they will not radIate heat where it is not needed. Have the seams recemented.
 When the cool weather comes, get on with little fire of wood in stove instead of a coal fire in the furnace. Lay in wood now. if you can get it. Large chunks of hard wood are almost as good as coal. Save the limbs that you trim from your trees, and all the dead -and-down tim Der about your place. When the cold weather comes, use only the rooms you really need, instead of the whole house. Lincoln grew up in one-room cabin heated by only a wood fire, and there is no evidence that 1t injured him in mind or body. Be content with slXty-hve or sixtv-eight degrees instead of seventy or seventy two. Learn how to fire your fur mace and how to regulate the drafts. Heating engineers in the service of your local fuel ad- will show you how if you ask them. Put weather stripes on your windows and doors, get fireless cooker, and Slft your ashes.
 Finally, do not think you are saving coal by substituting gas or using more electricity. Gas is made from coal. and electricity is usually made by dynamos that are run by the power in burning coal.
 There are many of us who are too old or too young or too weak of body to serve at the front, but there are very few who can not belong to the Order of the Coal Shovel.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandna's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother time. She used it to keep her halr beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy ana out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in gredients, which can be depended up- on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthru appearance. It is not intended fol the cure, mitigation or prevention o' disease. /

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE: Take 6 glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers- Meat
 forms uric acid.


 If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef- forts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three time during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the bodv's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take tablespoonful in 3 glass. of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid o grapes and lemon juice, combined witt lithia, and has been used for generation to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys also to neutralize the acids in urine 50 it no longer irritates, thus. endin bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot il jnre, and makes delightful effcrvescen ,;tl..a-.ster drink.

 Mrs. Scarborough wishes to call attention to the new ruling that on account of scarcity of yarn, the knit ters in town and over the county are expected to knit up their supply of thread and turn it back by the 25th. All chairmen of knitting units should give out yarn only with this object in view. Keep a record of where yarn is and keep after it. If knitter finds she cannot finish her garment in time, let her give it over to some one else who can and will. We can not have yarn out as long as some of our out-of- town units are holding it.

FL traje de luto por algun m!cm-

res del pals. Nuestra organization

go por ejemplo. esta establecido IN
Comite en- caia uno de los barrios.
No tenemos autoridad para otra cosa
que solicitar de las mujeres adopten
la insignia en- lugar del traje de lu-
90. pero pensamos que las razones
de la apelacion son bastante fuertes
para que den un extenso resultado.
EN- 10 principal hay dos: primera,
la moral o spiritual; segunda. Ia
economical. Con respecto a la prime
"a. puede aducirse ell efecto depresi-
70 del traje de luto en- los soldados
mismos, sus familias Y el publico en-
general. Esta Influenza puede no
tarse en- los ~jovenes soldados que
acaban de entrar al servicio. Lo que
las mujeres tenemos que hacer es
alentar Y alegrar Y no dlsninulr el
valor V resistencia de los hombres
destinados a combatir.
Los soldadoS van con el amino de
que batallan por la libertad del u
do. desafiando al enemigo, allegro

animos a Ia miSma altura, en- cores
pondencia del servicio que prestan
los hon:bres para nueStra protection
: la de nuestros hogares. En- lugar
de entregarnos a manifestations de-
presivas. nuestro deber es desplegar
ell mismo ra!or Y espiritu de nuestros
soldados. 81 ellos pueden morlr no.
olemente. noSotras debemos mostrar
que podemos vivir n~oblemente.
"Debemos conslcerar la insignia,
por 10 tanto. no como una senal dc
duelo sino como n marca &c recono-
cimiento hacia un servicio eXaltado;
como TN sig1o del privilegio de haber
dado al pals Ina insignia de honor.
Esta insignia eXpresara mucho meJor
que el traje de luto ell sacrificio que
Sc ha hecho Y que Ia perdida es mas
bien un motive de gloria que de pc
ma.
"Por ell lado economico hay los gas
tos del luto, los cuales son I'm ele-
mento importante en- este tempo.
Luego las modistas, que estan esca-
sas Y 10 estar2n mas. A eStas sc les
necesita en- otras labores Y no IN las
de hacer trajes de luto. Estan sien-
do solicitadas, adenas, para trabajos
de guerra de distintas classes, Y no
seria ~conveniente a los mejores int
reses del pals ersenar a las mujeres
a modistas Y costureras, cuando de-
ben tonlar las posiciones de les hona-
bres que entran al ejerclto.
Hay otra cosa en- favor de Ia in
sigma. Decidimos elegir algo cue no
pudiera ser comercializado; es decir,
I'm patron sobre el cual TO pudiera
tenerse dominic por III derecho dc
patente. La banda puede hacerse en-
Ia casa. No Sc ~eypecifica la tela Y
Dor 10 tanto puede usarse cualquiera
que sea negra.
Hay solo una restriction: la del
ancho de la banda. Els probable que
mas tarde podamos obtener que estas
