HOME MEANS MORE
NOW THAN EVER
French Soldiers Regard Foyers du
Soldat, or soldiers Hearth
In Home,

Home-described by someone as the
sweetest word in the language
means so much more to the French
poilus now than ordinarily. Their
homes, at least many of them. have
been destroyed or held by the Boche,
so practically many of them have no
homes. Hence no one who has not
been in the war zone can appreciate
how dearly these indomitable French
fighters regard their Foyers du Sol
dat Literally this means the Sol
dier's Hearth" or home. The hun
dreds of Foyers are supported by the
American Y NJ. c. A., which also sup
plies the secretaries for them. Eloise

France, writes:

American small country village. with

MOVIES FOR THE FAMILY

A prediction may safely be made
that In the very near future provision
will be made for moving pictures In

more. the architect viii plan the pic

their guests can enjoy a select pro-
gram of latest productions. II may
be in connection with a dancing room
or il can be accommodated in much
less space. A projecting machine suit
able for the home will not be very
costly. and the films will doubtless be
delivered each week by companies or
ganized for that special purpose. Trav-
elers returning from abroad viii find
pictures OF cities and scenes they have
visited q wonderful relp in reciting to
friends and relatives incidents OF the
places they have visited.
Another new industry which will
soon come into existence In all the
larger cities will be film photography.

doubtedly one OF the most acceptable
wedding presents In days to come from

be a set of progressive films showing

THE ~HANDY. WOMAN

One of the interesting developments
OF Americas participation in the
world war for democracy is found
in the gradual increase of the import
ance of the part played by the wo-
men of this country. This import
ance was very aptly pointed out In
a recent report made by Miss Henri
eta Roelefs. director of Young Wo-
mems Christian Association War
Work in France. to the War Council
of the Association at meeting held
in New York. In this report Miss
Rolefs stated that the military value
of the women today is two-thirds, as
compared to the one-third value of
the man.
Whether or not this is an eXagger-
alton, the fact remains that the man
has a fighting value. while upon the
woman depends the morale without
which victory will be impossible. and
also a very necessary support of the
war industries. Upon a successful
support of either one of those two
elements depends victory, just as
much as il depends on the lighting
ability of the men, and for this rea-
son woman's military value can be
said to be equal at least il not para
mount to that of the man. The wo-
man must make the uniform, she is
an adept ammunition maker, she must
keep up the spirits of the man, and
if he returns MANNED or crippled II is
the woman who must do the recon-
struction work in fact. the day for
the handy woman" is upon us. for
women are expected to interest them
selves in every line of work and upon
her assumption of his responsibility
depends our success in the war.
Am ing the seven organizations that
will come forward in November ask
ing for the country's financial sup
port for their work only one is an
organization of women devoted to the
care OF women. The Government has
asked the Young Woman's Christian
Association to look after the woman,
both at home and abroad who is en-
gagged in this important labor of con-
tributing so much that is necessary
to the forces thai are going to win
the war II is interesting, and de-
cidedly edifying to note the part that
women are playing, and the influence
that the handy woman" will WELD,
will by no means be insignificant

CONVERSION OF BONDS

Secretary of the Treasury w. G.
,McAdoo has sent out the following:
ITO holders of per cent bonds of
the First Liberty Loan converted
and 4 per cent of the Second Lib
erty Loan:
THE privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of
4 IA per cent bonds of the Third Lib
erty Loan will expire on November
and under existing law cannot be
extended or renewed. Holders of
these per cent bonds lose nothing
by exercising the privilege of CONVEX
sion and gain IA per cent interest
per annum. Holders of per cent
bonds should not wait until the last
moment to exercise the privilege of
conversion but proceed to do so
promptly. Delay will result in over
burdening the banking institutions of
the country and the Treasury Depart
ment by making it necessary to han
die all conversions at the last moment,
and may result in the loss of the priv
ilege of conversion altogether
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request issue Of
registered bonds in order to protect
themselves against the risk of loss,
theft and destruction of their bonds.
Official Department Circular No.
ia, with forms Of application, has
been distributed to Federal Reserve
Banks and banks and trust companies
throughout the United States. These
institutions are asked, as matter Of
patriotic service, to assist bond hold
ers in exchanging per cent bonds
for 4 IL per cent bonds and in regis
tering their bonds"

PROUD TO LIVE IN BOHEMIA

1t is reported in the newspapers
that butter is selling for IS a pound,
and that eggs cost 40 cents apiece,
in Bohemia. Was it not Boston poet
who sang:
I'd rather live in Bohemia than
any other land,
For only there are the values true
and so on? He was dreaming of
course, about a fanciful Bohemia,
and not about the Bohemia that is
now largely in revolt against German
ism, and paying the penalty. AS things
are going with the Tzheco-Slovaks,
however, anyone with a proper re-
gard for the heroic endeavor of a
liberty-loving people, even with but
ter and eggs at present quotations,
might be proud to live in Bohemia

RESULTS THAT REMAIN

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding
only temporary benefit. This is dis

of proof of its merit right here in
Annapolis.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now makes her testimony even
stronger.
