These stones and shells may be mixed and no matter how old, if sound. No other kinds are wanted except those mentioned above 200 peach stones will produce carbon sufficient to pro- tect one soldier from Geumaa eas. and seven pounds of nut sh.l, will do the same. You are urge4 .riag all you can this week to the Red Cross work room at Scotts hall.
 This is an emergency matter. It Is a question of saving the lives and health of our men overseas from German poison gas and every patrio tic citizen in the whole county should be glad to collect all they possibly can.

with. OF the two tailors, one already
had a good agency for ready-made
clothes. the other didn't believe in it.
He was old-fashioned and believed that
the only way to do business was to cut
the cloth off the roll for the man and
make up the suit that way. Well, Ben
ton thought that he would have to put in
too much educational work to make this
fellow realize the value of ready-made
clothes, so he decided to concentrate
his efforts on the tailor who already had
an agency and was struck on the idea
of ready-to-wear clothes.
Benton's next move was to write up
! an idea which occurred to him, and with
it he went over to the tailor who had
previously turned him down.

"oh, I forgot that moles are blind"
exclaimed Peggy, much chagrined at her
own mistake.
You're not so smart as you thinh
you are" grunted the mole, rudely.
"As I said before this is the queerest
