FOOD FOR GERMANY.

If Germany thinks that this coun- try, or the allied nations for that mat ter, are going to let everything else erep and at once devote attention to the German needs it is mistaken. While there is no disposition to allow starvation conditions to prevail t does not mean that the needs or re- ouirements of our friends or allies are going to be neglected for the saie of seeing that things are made easy for Germany.
 It is well understood that Germany was willing to sacrifice as much as was necessary while the war was on ard it cannot expect. any immediate change. It needs to take a little of the medicine which it has been mix ing for itself. There was no thought bn the part of Germany of rushing to the aid of the people of Belgium, Ser b.a and Poland, whose condition was brought about to a large extent by the operations of their forces, and ii must realize that there are the needs of those countries which are likely tc set first. consideration.
 And when Germany and the dua monarchy, do receive foodstuffs from the allies 1t is not to be supposed that they are going 10 be given to them They must pay for what is allowed them but there is no possibility oi setting such attention to the exciu- sion of the others.
 There is no question but what tn. aUihd nations Asiii dh u,hat fh6x- na ' in the way of making allowances O food to be carefully and thorough! distributed but Gefm&ny is not goins to become a most favored nation, ant if the reports are true there is no neet of it even H there was the disposition to hand over to t the fat Of the land Germany must make the best of re duced rations even as it did while tn, war was on.

HEALTH AND REALTY.

Gray hair, more than hair of any other color. should be beautifully ar ranged. The haid-dress is three fourths of the trick of an admirable coiffure. The length, thickness, color and texture Of the hair dc not matter so much if 1t is beautifully undulated and hecomingly coiffed. What the hairdressers nowadays can do with 8 skimpy little thatch of thought dome roofing is something marvellous. And they will teach you tricks of which you may well be proud
 To gray hair only certain tonics should be applied. Any tonic con tairing alycerin will discolcr the sil- yer sheen.
 Do not let children become lax in toilet niceties. Cleaning the teeth. manieuring, proper care of the hair. and complexion should ali be insisted upon from earliest childhood until such matters are inculcated as habits and are pfactioed voluntarily. A point which fails upon the motier to attend to unless she has a comretert nurse, is the question of towels. face cloths and tooth brushes for the individual members of Ter family. X $ soon as the child needs toilet articles, that is, from the day of it's btrth, it should have a separate supply. A scarcity of towels and face cloths is inexcusable, but many mothers are thonghless in the matters of towels and fAce cloths. It is a good idea to have initialed towels for each child. the girls being taught to do the letters in cross stitch as a pleasant task.

CAlisthenics taken in the early morn ing do much to keep up the general health. Standing warmly but loosely clad at an open window and inhaling deep breatfls of fresh air will stimulate the blood quickly. This might be fol- lowed with two or three easy exercises. One might consist of doubling the fists, placing them at the shoulders, and then thrusting them out at arms length swiftly. After that it would be well to bend, trying to touch the floor with the finger tips without bending the knees. These calisthenics might be concluded with final one of kneel- ing and bending forward the floor from the waist The whole performance need not take more than five minutes and will do more to make circulation lively and muscles in good condition than any amount of medicine.

 We are getting much interest aroused among the young people and soon all will be live members.
 Our League has been organized only short time and I think we are progressing nicely with the Cody work. We need all the older people to come as we feel at loss without them and we know no Christian endeavors are complete without seeing the faces of mother and father.
 When the good Leaguers of Carlisle organized our band they promised. to help us with visits and we shall be proud to have them visit us any time and aid us in the work.
 We will observe Anniversary day and expect to have a nice program and get liberal offer ing
 There will be box supper Friday evening for the benefit of the League, at the school house.
 All who were absent Sunday evening regrets it I'm sure.

Wallace Townsend. Director of the State Council of Defense, reports that he is receiving nu- merous requests for copies of the model ordinance against se- dition and disloyalty that was recommended by the Council of Defense, and passed last week by the Little Rock City Council Strong provisions are made that vii. reach this class of near en- emies of our country. and penal ties of fine or Imprisonment or both are provided. It is in line with the national sedition laws, and it is designed to protect the com mmunities from the insidi ous influence of those who make consistently disloSa remarks about the Government, the Pres ident, the flag, or the Army and Navy.
 The Columbia county council of Defense has adopted the Mis- souri plan of reaching disloyal persons. It is three card sys. tenn, and is said by those who have tried it to prove very effect i've. When person is reported disloyal, white card is sent him, with a statement that he's been reported as making disloy al remarks, if he persists, a blue card is sent, containing a mes sage of admonition. If this does not bring him eto terms. red card is sent, aud this is followed by prosecution. It is said in Missouri that is is seldom neces t-sary to send the red card.
