One Of the many curious effects OF
the war was the way It put news into
cold storage. Almost every day that
passes, in England as elsewhere, some
story or other is gaining publicity,
and is being eagerly read and dis
cussed, which, if peace had reigned
instead Of war during the past five
years, would have, long since. been
forgotten in the back files Of the news
papers. Thus Major Hesketh-Prltch-
ard, one-time famous as cricketer,
and now famous as soldier, has been
pouring out news as to the many in
genious devices resorted TO at the
front in establishing an observation
post. This is for Instance the case
Of the milestone. 1t stood on the sum
nit of a little ridge at the cross roads,
between the two front line trenches.
The French photographed the mile
stone, had a facsimile made of 1t In
thin steel with a gauze-covered obser-
walton hole, and successfully changed
the real thing for the dummy by night /;
In this way gaining a perfect observa-
tlon post in the center of no-man's
land. Thus some milestones even have
greatness thrust upon them.

LISTEN TO AMBITIONS VOICE
Desirable Companion May Fall to Call
Again If She Is Not Accorded
Recognition.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is quality that is born
In one and which cannot be materially
changed. but the greatest ambition may
be materially injured in many differ
ent ways. The habit of procrastina-
tlon, Of postponing, the habit Of pick
ing out the easier tasks and putting
of the difficult ones, for example, will
very seriously impair the ambition.
Whatever affects the ideals affects the
ambition.
Ambition often begins very early to
knock for recognition. If we do not
heed its voice, If 1t gets no encourage
ment after appealing to us for years,
1t gradually ceases TO trouble us, be-
cause. like any other unused quality or
function, 1t deterlorates or disappears
when unused.
Be careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward, for II
you do 1t will become less and less in
sistent until finally 1t will cease to
prod you and when ambition is dead
deterioration has set in.-From "Ambi-
ton and Success" by Orison SWEET

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.


Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
soon realized. II stands the highest for
lie remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Under the new scale of income tax
imposed by the recent United States
revenue bill every citizen in receipt of
S150,00O or more year must pay at
least half Of 1t to the state.
Mr.. Henry Ford. for example, is said
to have an income of $25,0O0.0O0 a
year, Of which the revenue authorities
will claim between S15,O00.OOO and
$4,000 00-a sum sufficient to keep
1000 families in modest comfort for
ever.
But even Mr.. Ford gets off lighter
than Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, who is
reputed to have an income Of $780,
100000 year. Mr.. RockefelIer's
contribution to the treasury, 1t is said.
will not fall short of Ss0,0O0,00O for

sents 1900 times his weight in gold.

When a cork slides down inside

unless one has the necessary tools,
and they are not always available,
writes Victor Fl. Todd, in Popular Sci

A good way to extract 1t is to grease
the neck of the bottle with vasellne,
then hold the bottle under cold water.
When the bottle is as cold as pos
