HOUSE cENTIPEDE NEW PET
Is Quiet, Docie and Friendly With the
Children and Is Declared to Be
Death on Bugs.

A family thinks it has modified its
bone protective forces TO the full when
1t has set up watchdog, a cat, a
canary, a rubber plant, war garden
and a fly swatter. These are all very
well as far as they go, says the New
York Tribune, but the world has been
moving swiftly, and the most progress
sipe and efficient households now have
added the house centipede Ilgarly
called the acknowledged worm
to their forces. We learn from re-
cent monograph on insects that:
'A1 examination of the head of the
centiL EIDE will reveal pair of strong
jaws chat are used against enemies
and for the purpose of capturing small
insects for food. 1t considers the fly
a great delicacy, and, besides this, it
eats fieas, mosquitoes, moths, reaches
and other small household pests. 1t
hunts it, food mostly at night. The
house centipede has seldom been
known to bite person, and if, in self
defense, it should pinch the baby's
finger or toe, the swelling produced, if
any, could quickly be alleviated by an
application of ammonia"
In the light of these recommended
tons who can afford to be without
one of these admirable beasts? 1t is
noiseless, of excellent though noctur-
nal habits-a night Waterman, as it
were-and its upkeep cost is practi-
cally nothing. In the event that it

Time to Work Hard.

When fortune begins to smile upon
you is the time you will have to
spunk up most. Then it is that most
folks begin to take it easy-and fail.
Getting into the public eye is a chal-
lenge to make good. There are thou
sands of others in the same business.
You must SurpasS them or remain one
of the crowd. If the place you occupy
gets crowded you must spunk up
little more. Put on a little more steam,
little more brains and push are
needed. Maybe the other fellow is at
his limit now. Keep on pushing to the
front. The courage with which you
strive will receive its reward. Work
with brain and hand and the victory
is bound to be yours.-Pennsylvania

DO NOT CASH CHECKS
FOR STRANGERS

The Chamber of Commerce is au-
thority for the statement that a con-
hdence game was put over some of
our business men the past week A
woman by the name of Mrs. Steve
Robansky issued worthless checks,
under the name of j. E. Fodor, and
received goods for the same. One of
our merchants let her take home a
cloak on approval. Hearing she was
about to depart from the city on the
evening train, he sent an officer after
the coat, which was secured but not
until after considerable objection.
The woman had other goods from our
merchants, with which she succeeded
in getting away. W. r. Chellis, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
says that the office received her
standing from Madison last July,
showing that worthless checks had
been passed there and that she owed
accounts over $4,000.

The right to buy arms is absolutely
vital to the safety of peace-loving
people. The less nation thinks and
plans for war, the more necessary 1t
is to import arms in time of sudden
trouble. For this reason shipment of
arms to warning nations by the citizens
of a neutral country has been uniVer-
sal usage and has become an accept
ed principle of International law. This
right was expressly stated in 1907 IN
the seventh article of the Second
Hague Congress of Nations and was
ratified by the United States, Ger
many, Austria, and twenty-five other
states.
The United States has both prac-
tised and preached this Doctrine, be-
ginning with Jefferson in 1898. 1t
"has always depended upon the right
and power to purchase arms in case
of foreign attack" AS our Secretary
of State, Lansing, said in his master
full reply to the Austrian note of pro-
test: "This right which it claims for
itself, it can not deny to others.
Germanys practice has been exactly
like ours Her factories sold enorm-
GUS quantities of munitions in the
Russo-Japanese and Balkan wars.
They even supplied Turkey in its war
against Italy although Italy was then
the ally of Germany, and was bound in
a triple alliance Our one-Sided sale
of arms to England in the present war
is exactly matched by Germany's sale
to England in the Boer war. The
Beers were shut off from the seas
even more completely than the Ger
mans are today. Who ever discovered
that the Germans on account OF their
one-sided sale of arms had the slight
est hesitation in helping England win
the war?
With this past record in selling mu-
nitfons il is no wonder that Germany
used Austria as her cats-paw IN an ef-
fort to stop our sale of arms. In her
protest Austria admitted the legality
of our trade but because it had be-
come one-sided and enormous, chaE
lenged it's neutrality This was a
strange attempt to make it appear that
our country became unneutral when 1t
exercised its neutral rights. Germany
could not risk fight at sea and wish
ed America to counterbalance this
weakness by Withholding food and mu-
nitions from her enemies.
Nobody can claim that we did not
sell to Germany as long as we could.
Copper she imported in enormous and
unprecedented quantities during the
two years just preceding the war. We
know now why About year ago the
submarine Deutschland made its ia
nous trip to New London and sailed
away from our harbor loaded with a
cargo of nickel.
Much popular confusion exists as to
what neutrality is. Neutrality is an
attitude taken by the government of a
nation. 1t does not mean suspension
of judgment by its people. Before our
entrance into the war neither the Pro-
German nor the sympathizer with the

Bossy Lacks 'Preciat;u,,

Stephen called to see the new Jer-
sey calf, so he was taken out to the
pasture where it was. The week-old
calf was at one end of the lot looking
through the bars, while the mother, old
Bess, was as far the opposite side as
she could get, gazing into space. After
waiting some time for a display of
affection between mother and daughter
Stephen looked up with puzzled ex-
preston and said: "What's the matter
with that COW, uncle? Don't she pre-
ciate that calf?"

Self-Confidence Wins.

Have you ever felt the chagrin OF
knowing that you have failed in an en-
terprise, whether this may have been
mere incident of business or an en-
tire career, purely through lack of self
confidence?
Thousands of men have failed in just
that way, writes Hugo Masters in Ply
steal Culture
Self-confdence is factor in success
OF such Importance that the man with
moderate ability, but plenty of conf
dence, will succeed where the man of
far greater ability, coupled with a lack
of confidence, will fail. This has been
proven probably few billion times in
the history. of human affairs.
