To dust we've given dust.
Our Nation called and not in vain
He answered her high call;
We gave him up He gave his life
And thus was given all.
But vet we know we'll meet him

It's but a brief farewell.
We mourn, but IN our hearts we know
God doeth all things well.

CHEESE DIET is WHOLESOME
One Pound of the Food Supplies More
Than Twice as Much Energy as
Same Amount of Steak.

Too many people use cheese merely
as an appetizer, says the Scientific
American in commenting on u recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. According to this
bulletin and to the universal practice
in the great cheese-prOducing countries
of Europe, cheese is one of the most
valuable of foods and most satisfac-
tory substitute for meat.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a pound
of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount of fowl or ham.
Contrary to the opinion of many,
cheddar or "stOre" cheese is not usu-
ally indigestible and cOnstipating. Ex-
tensive digestion experiments conduct
ed by the department have demon
strated that more than 95 per cent of
the protein in cheese is digested and
that 90 per cent of it's energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large guam
titles and for long periods, no case OF
indigestion, constipation or other dis
! turbance was observed in those who
ate it. One person who ate cheese as
the chief source of protein and energy
| eating an average of 9.27 ounces daily
for more than two years, did a fail
amount of muscular work and kept il
good health.

Food for the pon.

Meat is the natural diet of the wild
dog and should be an important item
in the sporting dogs diet, Observe<
Outing. SO long as it is untainted it
makes little difference whether 1t is
horse, beef or mutton, but pork is not
so good, and any quantities of fat
should not be fed. Generally it is
best to cook the meat in a sort Of
stew with vegetables mixed, but Occa-
sionally a dinner OF raw lean meat is
q welcome change and serves as q
tonic and mild laxative. During the
hunting season it is a mighty good

THE PLOTTERS
CHAPTER LNIIl
A New Serial of East and West

CHAPTER LVIIl
A week had passed since Amos
Chapin's death.
Much had happened in that time
The dead mans son had come or
rom Chicago and the funeral had
been held from the village church
DR.. Douglas Wade had been re-
lieved to learn that the services
were not to be at the house. He had
feared that the noise of equipages
and people coming and going would
disturb his sister, lying prostrated
in her room upstairs.
For Elizabeth was i'll. Her brother,
taking the place of the village ply
sician who had been summoned by
Mrs. Miller assured Mrs. Chaplin
that the attack was but the result
of the shock of the farmers death
and of John Buffers arrest. He
urged the widow to accept Mrs. Mill
ler's invitation TO spend a few days
with her until affairs at the farm
could be adjusted.
Clifford returned to Chicago i'm
mediately after the funeral. He had
his own reasons for not wishing to
Meet Elizabeth Wade. He took it
for granted that John Butler had
told the girl of the young Chica-
goan's accusations. Clifford felt
that he had made himself ridicu-
lous. Therefore he remained at the
farm only as long as decency de-
manded. He must get back to bust
ness he explained to his mother,

STUART PRAISES
SENATOR SPROUL
Former Governor Speaks For
the Man From Delaware;
Provost Smiths Letter

Provost Edgar f. Smith, of the
University of Pennsylvania, and for
mer Governor Edwin S. Stuart yes
terday issued statements in which
they advocated the election of Sena-
tor Sproul.
Provost Smith told of the aid Of
fered him and other Americans who
were in London at the outbreak of
war in 1914 by Senator Sproul, help
ing them return to America.
II have known Senator Sproul for
years and have always admired his
sterling character" said Provost
Smith.
In urging the election of Senator
Sproul, former Governor Stuart said;
Senator Sproul has managed his
own business affairs so well that his
career spells success. He has also
comprehensive knowledge of what
is more essential at this time, and
that is governmental business, which
is the function of the chief eXecu-
tive officer of the Commonwealth to
conduct and direct. This is abso-
lutely essential, If we are to have
wise and efficient management OF
the affairs of the state.
His experience of nearly a quar-
| ter of century as a leader in a CO.
ordinate branch of the state govern
ment fully equips him for the work
ahead. No candidate for the office
! during the last twenty-five years
| has been so well fitted for the task
as William C. Sproul."

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
'neutralize irritating
acid.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder where 1t often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse
again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so 1t no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irrita-
tion. Jad Salts is splendid for kid
neys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have a pleasant. effer-
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bl4dder trouble,

goal which had not been hoped
for, at soonest until December.
The latest official compilations
show that since June 1, approximate
ly $500 fighting airplanes of all de-
scriptions have been shipped to the
American forces in France. When it
is realized that none of the belliger-
ents at any one time since the be-
ginning of the war has had more
than $500 airplanes actually in sec
vice, the significance of an American
production of $500 planes in five
months becomes apparent.
These $500 planes included near
ly one hundred and fifty heavy
bombers and the remainder were
planes of all classes including OBJ
servation machines and day bomb
ers.

and must lose no time in securing an
apartment in Chicago, where she
could make her home with him. This
project feconciled the parent to his
departure.
Thus it came about that the farm
was very quiet on the second day
after the funeral. Douglas had en-
gagged a woman from Midland to do
| the housework for him and his sis
/ ter until the latter should be strong
enough to accompany him to the
West.
She Seeks the Truth
This afternoon Douglas had
! brought Elizabeth down to the liV-
ing room, where, propped by pill
lows, she lay, looking pale and Ian
guild.
Her brother, seated near her, had
been reading to her when she spoke
with suddenness that startled him.
/ Douglass have kept quiet as
/ long as | can! / have seemed salts
| fed with your assurances that
| things were progressing we'll in

! The young physician stroked her
! hand reassuringly. Il recognized
! that right as soon as you told me
( that you and Butler were engaged" :"
! he reminded her. Since then | have
gone to Midland every day to see
John. and have told you honestly
that he is looking well and behaving
like a man."
Il understand that" with a slight
frown of impatience. But am
strong enough now to know just
what the evidence is against him.
mean''-she paused, then hurried
on-"he is going to be tried for the
murder of Amos Chapin-isn't he?"
Probably" her brother admitted.
But it will be some time before all
the evidence is collected. Mean
while we know that he is innocent
and his innocence must be proved.
What are the strongest points
of evidence against him."
First, the fact that-as he and
you and Mrs. Chaplin acknowledge
he and Amos were quarreling
fotly at the time the shot was fired.
Second that the course of the bullet
shows that the wound could hardly
! have been self-inflicted, and, third,
that the pistol was lying, one cham
Der empty, on the table where-the
prosecution will contend-it could
not possibly have been laid by the
victim had he shot himself in the
head"
But" clasping her hands to-
gether tightly, could he not have
thrown it there"
He must have done So" Douglas
replied.
She was silent. Her brother made
an effort to turn her thoughts tc
some other phase OF the murder.
