even this remedy sometimes fails tc

For example, Pitt, who, when the

the visit Of the prime minister, the
duke Of Newcastle, and the thorough
discussion of the situation. The duke

WHY
CermanWoman Lost Hel
Desire For Revenge

A German woman, after her hus.
band was killed In the Russian inva.
sion In east Prussia, to avenge the
death Of her husband disguised her
self and entered the army. She ad.
vanced quickly to corporal and ser
geant. When at Karona the Germans
made an amazing number Of prison
ers the woman sergeant was ordered to
march thousand of them to the near
est Prussian fortress. It was a hard
task to march a thousand men with the
assistance of two corporals and ten
men. The order was to shoot anyone
who attempted to leave the ranks.
The transport was passing through a
village. A peasant woman stood In
the door OF one Of the huts and she
noticed among the prisoners her hus.
band. She called him and he sprang
out of the ranks and four rifles were
leveled and made ready to kill the man
on the command Of the sergeant. The
peasant woman flung herself at the
sergeant's feet.
'"That's my husband" she pleaded.
Don't shoot him. He's all I have"
The sergeant's heart warmed. "You
may keep him." she said. When they
arrived at the fortress she reported
the incident and confessed that she
was woman. The next day she went
home. Her desire for revenge was
dead.

Fruit Acids as Mouth clsansers.
Unless the teeth are very badly dam
aged or eroded the acids Of fruit, such
as that contained in grapes, oranges,
lemons or apples, will be found to be a
satisfactory mouth wash. The advice
Of a dentist should be sought. how
ever. to determine the condition OF the
teeth and to decide whether an aka

individual case. But there is no ques
ton. according to the Popular Science
Monthly, as to the efficacy Of the food

the mucous films that are the first
stages Of dental decay.
An apple eaten in the evening will
cleanse the teeth mechanically and

brushing will protect them from bac

KEEP YOUR GARDEN

Rx JOHN c. MOSES

No doubt most readers of The Age
 Herald have from time to time glanced over the alluring advertisements in va
 rious magazines of mail-order seed houses. They play up in colors the different good things that We all long to see grow in our back yards and helds But did you ever stop and think that when you order seeds from any of these far-distant houses that you help pay for all the high-priced ads in these pulp lications? Well, you certainly do! You might ask yourself: Why should [ send off for seeds when I can buy tjust as good at home and cheaper? Let this thought mingle with the sap that IS rising in you these early spring days. And another thing-seeds, bulbs, etc., ordered from the north east or west may not reach you before midsummer. when the other fellows are getting crisp vege- tables and living cheaply.
 In other words, buy from the progress sve merchants who are using space on this Seed Page today. They are old and tried in the business and will treat you right. If the farmer, truckman or little backyard fellows want advice on spraying fruit trees. grape vines or Tor

 farm implements, sprayers poultry reme-
 dies or feed. If so all you have to do is ask. write or wire your troubles. Birmingham had about 1900 gardens last season. Let's make it 6o.O00 this spring. Good. fresh seeds await you at
 any of these stores today. And | if you live out of town, send for q catalog, or write for what you want. You'll get 1t by return mail. Not so if you send to a distant house, where mail express and freight are congested and tied up.
 Right now is the time to get that gar den planted Don't be ashamed to tote new tools home on the street car. The world will think more of you if you do Raise your own stuff and buy bonds

The consequences are too serious to permit ordering seeds, tools or implements from great distances.

There is no question about the fact
that we people of Americas are pa

A great many people look upon the
Chamber of Commerce as more or less
a "charitable' organization, main
tanned as matter of course because
cities have similar organizations;
some there are who actually believe
that it fills no particular need in the
community and that its functions are
few. To such people it may prove
interesting to know just how thae

ter county Chamber of Commerce puts

mid-weed day: phone calls answered
