Everyone should do all he can to
provide for his family and in order
to do this he must keep his phyical

do much when he is half sick a

One temptation in making difficult
decisions is to compromise. You aren't
sure which way is the best, you seek
to combine the advantages of BOTH and
many time merely combine all the
disadvantages. TO be sure, there are
times when a compromise is the wisest
course, but there are just as many
times when it is cowardce and weak
ness. How can one tell which times
are which? Well, that is simply an
other decision for you.

Liberty Bonds for Stocks, Ask
Your Banker.

Thousands of Americans are collect
ing clap trap in the form of gaily il
Illuminated stock certificates that
aren't worth the paper they're printed
upon and never will be. And the
tragedy of it all is that many of them
are sacrificing their Liberty Bonds in
the effort They are surrendering
their certificates Of loyal citizenship
in the chance of making a killing
doing Uncle Sam real injury, how
ever, unconsciously.
With no more chance than the
proverbial SNOWFALL in Hades.
The woods are full of statesmen
right now representing fake promo

inducements to Liberty Bond holders.
Offering them so-calIed bargains ex-
,raordinary, especially in exchange
tor their bonds. Be on your guard.
If one of these fellows puts his prop
Osition up to you, take him down to
your banker. If he can sell the bank
er, you may possibly be safe in taking
1 chance.
But if he can't, pass him up.

Some of the piles in use in Amster.
dam are three to four hundred years
old. That part which is not in the
ground in salt water is often bored
by pile worm near the surface, but
is preserved by driving in nails with
very large heads, so as to give the
pile an iron coating This coating is
then transformed by the water into a
layer of rust, which protects the wood
from the pile worm. This process
must be repeated every fifteen years.

Washington, May 1o.-Dispatches
to the White House today said that
reports from Paris that President Wi
son had committed himself to 4 pro
posal to give Italy Fiume after 1923
were "absolutc' fiction"
Advices indicated that the presl-
dent has not deviated in the sight
est from his original stand.
Other dispatches stated that the
president would personally address
Congress and discuss the whole sub
iect matter of the Paris negotiations
Immediately after he returns.
1t has been suggested that the pres
ident make speaking tour Of the
country after his addresses to Con
gress and there are indications in adj
ministration circles that President
Wilson is seriously considering the ad-
visibility of such a trip.
White House dispatches intimate
that the criticism OF the president III
certain foreign quarters, which was
reported early in the week, is ahat-
ing.
Probably President Wilson will ask
Vice President Marshall to act for him
in receiving notification that Congress
has convened.
