DIscovNTfNe THE INSTRUCTION

Word is now received to the effect that the Germans in retiring from Lens and the coal mining region sur rounding that place have not over cooked the destruction of the coal mines and the buildings of the city, so that the whole locality as found by the troops which have occupied it is one great mass of ruins.
 This of course causes no surprise; in fact it would have been a great surprise if it had not been disclosed that the Teutons had retired and left everything or even the buildings in tact. They have followed out the same policy which has Been practical come to De known as ore of their characteristics. When it comes to depredat:ons the Germans throughout the war have shown themselves to Be the leaders amongst all the central powers and even the knowledge that they can expect no better from the allied nations when German territor1 is reached has not deferred them in their actions.
 ADy NlAPD.Alss lLG COdl Inl1CS dIlG uH- srroying all the industries in Lens the Huns have done all they could. They knew they wers placing obstacles in the way of the allies but in doing their worst it was not possible for them to prevent the preparations wkich nave been made by the allies for meeting just such situation. Their work was anticipated as is indicated by the ahBoUneeThert that the allies lave assembled quantities of new mining machinery and a large num- Der ol miners to deal with the situa- ton found there And in this Amer jeans are going to play the same i'm portant part which they have played in other service in France It may take longer because Of tie destfu5- lion to get the benefit of the coal re- sion but with Americans tackling the job it is sure to come.

The Liquor Traffic.


 Mir. Editor: Through the long years or history has there been question, which concerned the veal or woe ot cur country raoFe vftatly than the pro- nrhitien of the liquor traffic? Has there been a. vital question handled with less common sense and iriteii- gence?
 The finest literature from the Bible to Shakespeare has hurled it ana thema against intoxicatin drinks. AHenists, criminofesfsts, physi6i6gls,s and scientists with the authority of expert knowledge have spoken against it's use and in spite of all this knowl- edge it has needed this world wide war to make our government take na- tionai action against 1t, and only as a war measure. It has denieT it f6 our soldiers, thus frankly ackno wledgifg 5. that intoxicating drinks are aIl intlis- puta5Ie evil out nave lef5 it freq to cur stay at-hones for the next nine months, probably tie most eFaeial of the whole war when every man and woman need clear brains and steady nerves. How many voters can say with Shakespeare, My countrys good with a respect more tender, more holy, and profound than mine own life" Not the man eyfl9 votes for tI1e saloon, for every saloon means many bonds less for many men ard just that much more gain for the kaiser Ft means, too, many tragedies in many homes and decreased efficiency id eur work htgne1. To my mind the nio5s forcf- hle temperance cRterance that has ever appeared in print is the tragedy or Macbeth by Shakespeare-=fto how wonderful he expouf1ds, tie fact tfia alcohol was the determining factor in the ruin of Macbeth and his wife!
 "The wine that made -hem drunk, made me bold" said Lady Macbeth to Macbeth. It was her holiness that made him do the foul murder.
 Did not Shakespeare mean to ex- pound in this tragedy the fact that greedy ambition and alcoholic drinks combined would lead to ,5he commit ting of any cf!nne-even murder? Lis ten to Lady Macbeth as she tinf6lds her plan in detail to Macbeth: When Duncan is asleep
 Whereto the rather shall his hard
 days journey
 sound:y invite him. his two chamber Will with wine and wassaiI so con-
 vince
 That memory, the warden of the
 brain,
 Shall be fune. and receipt of req
 son
 A linbic only; when in swinish sleep Their drenehed natures lie, as in a
 death. What cannot you and I perform upon The unguarded Duncan? What not
 put upon
 His spongy officers, who shall bear the
 guilt of our great quell2"
 These few lines are physiological study In them we tave Shakespeare knowledge Of the anatomy Of the brain and the dire effect of alcohol upon it. and this is what makes the play so valuable He does Bot base it cn sentiment, but a scientific fact. which every pupil in our public schools has been taught. For more than 500 years this fact has leen known. Yet we so nafToti2trfg the reason and conscience and making life in Maebeth's own words, q tale told by idiots, full of sounds and fury, signifying nothing"

each one in recognition of the situa- ton lends a helping hand. Because there has been an abundance in tie rast there has been . corresponding waste. The need now IS to stop the waste and this can be done in many ways.
 The war industries boar1 calls for q curtailment of paper in wrapping bundles, through the use of no more than is necessary, resortiag to cheap CT grades, re-usfng wrapping paper when possible. by avoiding wrapping when possible and by reducing the size of writing paper and envelopes.
 The newspapers have been lfrected to coftaiT their use of print paper for this very reason. while newspaper is urged for wrapping purposes and the abandonment of fancy boxes is asked It is of course important that paper of all kinds should be saved and if there is no other use for it see that it gets to a paper mill to be converted into boxboard or for other uses. There can be no question but what every one can do something in this direc- tion and by doing SO results such as are desired will be obtained.

AVOID PAsER WASTE.

The national movement for the pre- yentior of waste of paper is being launched on a bread scale, but none too broad If there is to be accom- rlished what Is needed and what is sought. Paper has been regarded as a commodity to be had in such duan tities that little thought has been
 given to saving it in the past. 1t the present time. however, materials which are required in the making of paper are in such demand for war purposes and fuel is so scarce that it is necessary to bring about a big re- euction in the paper making business. And In the case of paper as in many other instances this is entirely poss.- hAaaar~S ara ea,ae xaaad .si,ffar vr.aa<l,t if

ADJoURNINe TOWN MEETING.

In view of the importance of a 'afge attendance at taS annual town meeting it is wise action which has been taken by the health officer in a<kihg for # &nd by the seleetnen iii announcing that it wifi be adjourn ed from tonight until week from tomorrow night, Tuesday, October f5. Hecause of the epidemic the gather ing would have been as inaatisahle as a church meeting and mary would undoubtedly have feft constrained to stay away as much as they would have considered 1t tfefr 1uty to at tend under normal conditions.
 The adjournInent will delay the meeting no lon~eT than is custom ary in town election year and it IS to be hoped that the intervening time will see a marked improvement in the influenza situation.

KNfTTINs LORE

Here are a few suggestions for be- sinners knitting socks:
 Keep scissors, tape measure and wax in knitting bag and lafee eyed nee dle pinned on sock, ready to splice yarn, and wax end of yarn before put ting in needle
 Stitches are more easily pken up if needle is put in top of stitch but first time knitting around knit the lower part of it, or it will be one sided.
 If you drop the loop of knit stitch, place it one needle back of stitch, in sert the needle in stitch, as if to pull, and put over loop: if it is a putled stitch place loop in front of stitch and bring stitch over loop toward front.
 A stitch dropped in several rows can be taken up with crochet needle placed in stitch; with hook down, pick up first loop, turn needle and take up another; continue until all are taken up,

LuKEMsuRe we.aRlEn.

There can be no surprise if the grand duchy Of Luxemburg is a bit worried over coming events. This lit tle country lies between Germany and Belgium abutting Lorraine on the south and the people of that country gre fully acquainted with German methods. They know how their rights were trodden upon when Germany de- c:ded 10 go into Belgium. It was much more convenient for the Tentons to plow risht through Luxenburg than it was for them to confine themselves tc the narrow passaseway into Bel Eium between Luxembourg and Hol- land, so the grand duchy had to sub nit.
 Likewise it can be appreciated that when the time comes the retreatfnE Germans are going to employ every facility for getting back across the Rhine and that will mean that full use will be made of the avenues which lie through Luxemburg and that will likewise apply to the retirenneft which will go with the advance of the allies at the proper moment in the Lorraine section.
 If 1t was known that Germany was disposed to have respect for the ter ritory of neighbors over which it has run it would make some difference but the Luxenburg people are fully rognizant of the manner in which Belgium has been treated, how its people have been killed and enslavel and how it's cities and towns and even the countryside destroyed by the Vandals. Naturally that gives cause for worry lest the same tactics be used when Luxemburg is reached and rear guard actions are being fought. Ger many in its desperation is likely to Go anything and the duchy knows ;t and there Is little wonder trat fl t-embles in anticipation of the days 10 come

JADE JEwFI Ry

! There is great fancy for green jewelry and necklaces of jade beads with pendants which are wonderful bits of Chinese carving are treasures prized by fortunate possessors. The beads in such necklaces are usually large ana either round or obions. sometimes they suggest sections cut from cylinder. They are usually strung simply on a cord, but frequent ly have mountis1ss of gold or silver filigree.
