BUILT FOR PIETY OR LUCK
Two Reasons Assigned for the Con-
struction Of Pagodas in Countries
of the Far East.

The word pagoda is a Portuguese
corruption of the Persian but
kahdah," meaning but" an idol" and
'kadah.' temple" In the far East,
as in India. China and Burma, they
are regarded as sacred towers. usually
more or less pyramidal in outline,
richly carved, painted or otherwise
adorned. and of several stories. and
are sometimes connected with tenn
pie. Such towers were originally
erected over relics of Buddha, the
bones Of saint, etc, but are now
built chiefly as a work of merit on the
part of some pious person, or for the
purpose of improving the luck of the
nelghborhood In China pagodas are
from 3 to Is stories high (al.
ways an odd number). Their Ora
yidian shape indicates that they orig
mated with the earliest races of In
dia, who inhabited the country prevl-
Gus to the advent of the Aryans. The
date of the great pagodas at Tajore is
not certainly known, but 1t, with much
probability, referred TO the beginning
of the fourteenth century. The So
called Thousand Pagodas" of Bran
banan in Java are obviously modelled
on Hindu originals, either Jain or
Buddhist.

Expect india to Export Sugar.

Sugar making is one of midas most
ancient Industries, but the loss or
three-fourths of the sugar value of
the cane by use OF primitive machin-
cry and the muddy character of the
product, because religious prHiudices
prohibit the use of animal charcoal
for refining, have confined midas
sugar to local consumption. says
World Outlook. With nearly three
million acres under cane, producing
considerably more than a third of the
worlds total, India nevertheless ex-
ports no sugar. On the contrary, in
addition to her own stupendous pro-
duction, she spends $25,0O0,000 for
sugar annually
With new methods of refining, there
Is now steady development of cen
tralized plants. and soon Indla-the
aboriginal home of the cane-will
doubtless take a place as sugar-ex-
porting land commensurate with the
size of her cane crop.

HIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
Old Soldier Could Not Fight in Ranks,
But Could Prove He Was Of
Some Use.

A year ago Americans were saying
that this was not an old mans war.
And the old men, MANY of whom had
been soldiers In their younger days,
were feeling the same way and suf-
fering over it, too Old women could
knit, roll oGndages. ard do hundred
other things quite as well as the young
err women. But what could the old
men do? And because there seemed
to be nothing fer them to do, they suf-
fered more keenly than most people
knew.
But as the young men left there be-
gan to be work for the old men. Re
tired farmers were needed to teach
boys how to farm. Retired bankers
were put on Thrift stamp and finance
committees. All carpenters, whether
young or old, were needed. And there
came a Esw- look-one of usefulness
and happiness-on the faces Of the
old men.
But one of the most patriotic of all
was noted the other day.
I'D like to buy your old rubber and
rags" he said courteously, cor if you'd
give it to me it would be stlll bet

The woman of the house glanced out
at his push cart which was almost
full Of junk. "Ill try to find some

TRUE TO TRADITIONS OF SEA
BIueIackets Would Accept No Reward
for Their Part in Aiding Injured
In Wreck.

Several indianapolis men were pas
sengers on the New York Central train
wrecked near Batavia. N. 7. One o.
them, in describing the wreck, told
the following story:
when l got into some clothes and
got out to see what the trouble was l
was surprised to see dozens of sailors
as busy as bees helping care for the
wounded and making people as COM
Portable as possible. 1t developed that
our train was carrying two day coaches
filed with blueJackets. and few sec
onds after the crash came they
were ont of the cars and making them
selves generally useful
"Some time later representatives o.
the railroad company came through the
crowd settling with the passengers for
slight damages. Some asked $50. 9th
ers 500, and checks for the amouns
asked were forthcoming One big man
said that $1G0 would about square
things with him, but added that the
check should be made out to those
sailors out there" Accordingly the
check was drawn in favor of the men
who had been working like Troje ~ =
ever since the crash, But
"The sailors refused to accept the
money.
1.-THE check was then turned over to
the Red Cross to be used in naval re-
lief work"

LAUNDRY MOVED WITH THEM
Washing Apparatus on Wheels . Com
fort to the Doughboys at the
Front in France.

A correspondent with the American
army in France, while motoring near
Verdun, met a sergeant who asked if
he might ride with him to a pile Of ru-
ms that had once been town. The
chance meeting threw light on how
a "doughboy" laundry operates. After
the sergeant had entered the ear he
asked the occupants:
You chaps amt seen my laundry
anywhere, have you?"
Laundry? We didn't. know there
was a laundry in this part Of France"
well, there is, and 1t belongs to us.
At least it did yesterday. We've been
transferred from the division to the
corps. When l got back from head
quarters the division had moved and
the laundry was gone. r think they
stole 1t. We used TO be attached to
a hospital; when they moved we
hitched our laundry 20 a truck and
went along"
"Your laundry is on wheels, them"
Yes sr. 1t needs wheels, the way
this division is moving Our laundry
is couple of big tanks on wagon
with a steam-heating apparatus. First
we soak the buds in suds; then we
steam them; next we bake them. In
an hour everything is washed, rinsed
and dried. When bunch comes out
Of the trenches we give 'em new clothes
and run the old ones through the
washing machine; then we bake 'em
and issue 'em out to the next gang, and
keep things going. Fifteen hundred

State Pay FOR praftees

There may be some heart bunmgs
we'll founded, we think--if Vermont
pays the drafted men at the same
rate il paid the volunteers.
The fact stands that when the war
broke cut and men were needed at
once, bafore the selectiye system got
10 work, there was an urgent appeal
for enlistments, based on the assump.
ticn that those who unleered
would get the state pay, while those
who waited 10 be drafted wouldn't.
The act CT 1917 did indeed read that
way-for volunteers only. They drew
at the rate OF SO a month for not to
exceed one year.
Thee men went in early. saw long
and hard service and many OF them
now repose in graves In France. They
filled the ranks of the regular and
National Guard division and really
led the way to victory, for they bore
the brnnt Of the fighting.
The drafted men waited until they
we're cal ed There is every reason
to believe that they did their full duty
but Il cannot be that they shall
stand in the same light as those who
freely offered themselves when they
too might have waited
3 Whether under the circumstances
and considering that this comes IL
the way of an unexpected bounty
Vermont is justified in expending Q
million dollars which must be RAISED
entirely by direct tax to pay these
drafted men Is open to serious ques
ton, both from public policy and fair
ness. 1t would be more in keepinl
with the fitness of things to extend
the monthly pay OF the volunteers fol-
the full period of their service. ant
at the very least this should be
done if the drafted men are to b,
paid at all.-Randolph Herald ant

Danger Ahead! Look Out !!

Colds and Grippe frequently will
leave you with weak kidneys, and ach-
ing back. The kidneys get overworked
fighting off a cold or a contagious
disease. When they slow up, and don't
perform their duties, look out, there is
trouble brewing.
Kidney and bladder troubles are dan
gerous, and should not be neglected;
If you are compelled to arise from your
slumber once or twice during the night,
it proves that your kidneys arc affected
and bladder irritated, and ii you will
take from 10 to 20 drops of SEVEN
BARKS in a little water after meals,
you will correct the alkalinity OF your
secretions, thus giving you undisturbed
sleep and peaceful rest, preparing you
for your next days duties.
If you feel dull, irritable and nervous,
have headaches, sore or enlarged
joints, irregular kidney action, YOU
should give the kidneys quick relief
by taking SEVEN BARKS, which will
not only relieve the kidney trouble, but
keep your stomach in good condition
and your liver active.
Don't neglect your Kidney trouble
